Despite his words, the gnomes still harboured some suspicious.
At that moment, the sounds of hurried footsteps created by the elite gnome guards, could be heard coming from behind them.
The injured gnomes led by Dorna started to panic, some even started to suggest killing Huan Qing Yan since she was alone.
Dorna instructed them to go ahead first while he would stay behind to delay the pursuit.
“Bally, what are you guys playing? Let me join you too…” Huan Qing Yan’s child-like intelligence was unable to comprehend the situation.
Dorna spoke in human, “Foolish girl, let these gnomes pa.s.s, later when the gnome guards arrived and should they question you, tell them that you have not seen anyone. After fooling the guards, I will play with you, okay?”
A foolish girl? Huan Qing Yan automatically ignored that description!
“Okay! Bally play with me. I did not see them, I saw no one.” Huan Qing Yan happily agreed.
A trace of grat.i.tude flashed through Dorna’s eyes, “Then I will bring them away first, I will come back later to find you. Be a good girl.”
“Okay. Little Yan will be a good girl!” Huan Qing Yan agreed.
The other gnomes were still unable to believe; it was this easy to handle a human, humans were said to be evil?
The image of the Prince in their eyes instantly rosed to an extremely high level.
They were in a hurry to escape and since this human girl would not harm them, they also did not plan to stay around any longer.
Following their original plan, they quickly disappeared into one of the paths.
A while later, elite gnome guards appeared as expected.
When they saw Huan Qing Yan, they tried asking her in their language.
But Huan Qing Yan only shook her head as she did not understand.
That was when one of the older guards asked in human language, “Guest, did you… see… escape… prisoner… run pa.s.sed?”
Huan Qing Yan continued to shake her head, she was currently sucking on a candy popsicle while displaying an expression called innocently unaware.
The guards chattered amongst themselves for a while before they decided to return the way they came.
With the mission given by Bally completed, Huan Qing Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
She turned around and blankly stared at the path where Bally had disappeared off to…
After getting his people to leave ahead of him, Dorna turned around and hid at a corner not too far from Huan Qing Yan, he was prepared to hold back the pursuers if Huan Qing Yan was unreliable and failed to do as instructed; but unexpectedly Huan Qing Yan managed to be reliable this time.
When he saw the expectations in her eyes, he gritted his teeth and appeared, “Foolish girl, why are you here alone?”
Huan Qing Yan’s eyes brightens, “Bally!”
She had chased after Bally several times and each time she would always lose him. However, this time Bally was true to his words and returned as promised which made her extremely happy.
Dorna asked again, “It is very dangerous for a human like you to appear in this place, where is your man?”
Huan Qing Yan sucked her finger and pondered for some time, “Man? Uncle told me to wait here, he says that he would return soon and told me to stay here till then.”
Dorna frowned, what was he doing down there?
His skin was unlike an ordinary gnome, on top of being green, there were also tattooed, and it gave him an extremely charming look that exuded a mysterious wildness.
“Then you should continue to wait here, do not move too far as it is currently not safe! I still have something to do so I will go first.”
Just as he was done speaking, Dorna discovered that Huan Qing Yan’s hand had already grabbed onto his collar and she then lifted him up.
To hug him against her ample bosoms…
A faint and suspiciously reddish hue appeared on Dorna’s green tattooed skin, “Foolish girl, what are you doing…”
