561 As Long As You Like It
Murphy held Huanhuan’s hand affectionately.
“Her name is Lin Huanhuan. We met because of fate and quickly fell in love with each other. We fell in love and made a promise to love each other forever. We’re prepared to become mates in the near future. I brought her back this time in hopes of getting your blessing.”
The Elven Queen looked at Huanhuan and smiled. “Murphy made up this straw hat, right?”
Huanhuan nodded. “Yes.”
!!
“He’s very skilled. He used to like to make small things. I still have the fan and seat cushion he made in my bedroom.” The Elven Queen smiled slightly. She was elegant and n.o.ble, but her gaze kept wandering over Huanhuan’s hat, revealing a hint of inquiry.
Huanhuan understood what she meant. She raised her hand and took off her hat, revealing her entire face.
Even the Elven Queen, who prided herself on her beauty, could not help but be stunned by Huanhuan’s beauty.
As the most beautiful race in the dawn continent, the elves were a group of straightforward people. The Elven Queen was no exception.
They were always especially tolerant of beautiful things.
The Elven Queen raised Huanhuan’s chin and gently stroked her delicate skin. She smiled and said, “I now know why Murphy fell in love with you. With your face, it’s too easy to charm any member of the opposite s.e.x.”
Huanhuan looked shy.
The Elven Queen let go of her chin. “You must have worked hard to come all the way here. Murphy, take her to rest for a while. I’ll get someone to prepare a banquet to welcome her tonight.”
It was obvious that she was quite satisfied with her new daughter-in-law for the time being.
Murphy said, “Mother, I have something to tell you.”
The Elven Queen gave him a look that said, ‘Tell me.’
Murphy said, “Not long ago, the dwarfs living in Swan Valley were attacked by the Goffins. We captured a captive of the Goffins and learned from him that the Goffins have joined forces with the giants to attack Elven G.o.d Mountain.”
The Elven Queen replied casually, “Oh, then let them come.”
“Mother, we should be prepared early so that we won’t be caught off guard.”
“You might not know this, but in the years since you left, the giants and the Goffins have been attacking the elves every once in a while, but they’ve always returned empty-handed. They can’t get through the Misty Forest, so you don’t have to worry. They’re no threat to us at all.”
The Elven Queen’s beautiful emerald eyes were filled with disdain when she mentioned the group of simple-minded people. It was obvious that she didn’t care about those big idiots. She didn’t care about Murphy’s suggestion either.
Murphy tried to persuade her not to underestimate the enemy. “Maybe they’ll fight their way over this time. It’s better to believe it than not. It’s safer for us to be prepared.”
However, the Elven Queen did not listen.
She was very confident in the defense of the Misty Forest. She did not believe that those fools could pa.s.s through the Misty Forest and attack Elven G.o.d Mountain.
Murphy couldn’t persuade her, so she had to leave in disappointment.
Huanhuan comforted him. “Don’t be depressed. We still have a lot of time. You can take your time persuading her. You can definitely persuade her.”
Murphy agreed. “Yeah.”
He brought Huanhuan to a small tree house beside the palace.
“This is where I used to live. Stay here with me for the time being.”
There was not much s.p.a.ce in the house, but although it was small, it was complete. It had all the necessary furniture.
Murphy pulled the blanket off the bed and hung it on a branch outside to dry. Huanhuan took a new blanket from her s.p.a.ce and spread it on the bed. Together, they cleaned the house.
When the sun set, the welcome banquet began.
The long wooden table was filled with various fruits and juices. Some glowing flowers swayed in the night, and moonlight poured down. The elves had received an invitation from the Elven Queen to attend the banquet in their best attire.
Huanhuan was still wearing the shark silk dress made by Sang Ye. The style of the dress looked too simple on this occasion. Even so, she still became the center of attention with her stunning appearance.
She took Murphy’s hand and walked through the crowd to the Elven Queen.
The Elven Queen picked up the headband made of olive branches and put it on Huanhuan’s head. Then, she smiled and looked around at the crowd. Her voice was elegant and mellow.
“This is Lin Huanhuan. She’s Murphy’s fiancée. She’ll be one family with us in the future. Let’s welcome her together and wish her and Murphy sweet love.”
The elves with pleasant voices sang them songs that represented blessings.
The melodious songs drifted over and lingered in the sky above Elven G.o.d Mountain.
After singing, the banquet officially began.
The elves dispersed and gathered in groups to whisper.
Huanhuan quickly walked to an empty spot and pressed the lotus on her head. “Stop it.”
After the Elven Queen put the headband on Huanhuan, the skullcap lost its temper. It wanted to throw the headband away several times. Fortunately, Huanhuan quickly stopped it.
The skullcap twisted its petals and said in a depressed voice, “Mom, this position belongs to me. I don’t like other plants occupying my position.”
Huanhuan touched its petals and comforted it gently. “The spot on my head will always belong to you, but the situation tonight is special. Please let it stay on my head for the time being. When we get back, I’ll throw it away immediately, okay?”
The skullcap did not like to share its mother with other plants, but it did not want to make things difficult for its mother. In the end, it could only compromise.
Huanhuan was relieved. “Good child.”
Murphy walked over with fresh fruits. “You’ve been hungry for a long time, right? Eat something.”
“Thank you.”
Huanhuan was indeed hungry. She reached out and took the plate. She poked a piece of fruit with her fork and stuffed it into her mouth. She ate it in big mouthfuls.
Murphy asked, “Did you like the party tonight?”
The food in Huanhuan’s mouth: “I quite like it.”
Murphy relaxed. “I’m glad you like it.”
At this moment, three elves walked over and greeted Murphy. One of the female elves kept staring at Huanhuan’s face with envy and jealousy.
Even the elves who were famous for their beauty had never seen anyone as beautiful as Huanhuan.
Through Murphy’s introduction, Huanhuan learned that the female elf’s name was Doris.
Doris asked what race Huanhuan was.
Before Murphy could speak, Huanhuan blurted out, “I’m a beast.”
As soon as she said this, the three elves present looked stunned.
Especially Doris. She raised her voice and exclaimed, “You’re actually a beast?!”
Her cry immediately attracted the attention of many people at the banquet.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in Huanhuan’s direction.
Huanhuan looked confused. What was wrong with beasts?
