Chapter 560 - 560 You"re Finally Back
560 You’re Finally Back
The Misty Forest was filled with thick fog all year round. If one was not an elf, one would lose one’s way once one stepped into this forest.
Murphy asked Huanhuan to take out the green fruit he gave her back then and eat it.
The fruit was sour. After Huanhuan ate it, she followed Murphy into the Misty Forest.
The fog, which was originally so thick that she couldn’t see her fingers, automatically parted in front of her after she walked in. She widened her eyes and found it very magical.
!!
Murphy led the way. As he walked, he said, “The green fruit I gave you is a specialty of Elven G.o.d Mountain. After eating it, it can dispel the fog for a short time and prevent you from losing your way in the Misty Forest.”
There were many strange-shaped plants in the Misty Forest. Murphy said that most of these plants were very aggressive and had to be carefully avoided.
With Murphy’s help, Huanhuan pa.s.sed through the fog forest and arrived at the foot of Elven G.o.d Mountain.
Climbing the mountain was a very difficult task, especially since the path to Elven G.o.d Mountain was difficult. The path was filled with twisted vines and several roots. They were also covered in moss and were very slippery.
Every two steps, Murphy would look back at Huanhuan. Sometimes, he would reach out and pull her, afraid that she would fall.
By the time they were halfway up the mountain, Huanhuan was panting from exhaustion.
Murphy said, “We’ll be there in a while. Can you hold on?”
Huanhuan held onto the tree beside her and shook her head while panting. “I can’t take it anymore…”
Murphy knelt down in front of her. “Come on. I’ll carry you up.”
“How can I do that?” Huanhuan said, but her hands and feet climbed onto his back and held his shoulders.
Murphy stood up with her on his back and walked steadily up the mountain.
The girl’s body was soft and smelled of fresh vegetation.
Murphy couldn’t help but feel a little restless.
Huanhuan did not notice his thoughts at all. Her eyes drifted around as she sized up her surroundings.
The scenery of Elven G.o.d Mountain was beautiful. The entire mountain was covered in lush green vegetation. From time to time, a few animals ran past.
They could not eat meat on Elven G.o.d Mountain, so these animals could live well. They were bold and were not afraid of humans.
Huanhuan couldn’t help but think of Divine Wood City.
They could only be vegetarians in Divine Wood City. The scenery there was also beautiful. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the end.
“We’re here.” Murphy lowered Huanhuan to the ground. “The elf tree is ahead.”
Rings of spiral stairs were built with vines on the huge elf tree. Many small cabins were scattered on the branches. These small cabins were where the elves lived.
Some elves returned with baskets filled with fruits. Some of them knew Murphy and quickly came forward to greet him.
“Murphy, why are you suddenly back?”
Murphy smiled in response. “I came back to do something.”
The elves’ gazes then landed on Huanhuan with confusion. “This is?”
Murphy wrapped one hand around Huanhuan’s waist. “This is Lin Huanhuan, my fiancée.”
Huanhuan smiled shyly. “h.e.l.lo.”
Hearing this, the elves all looked surprised.
“Murphy, you’ve found a lover? Congratulations!”
Murphy chatted with them for a while, then said, “I’m taking Huanhuan to see my mother. I’ll talk to you again when I’m free. Goodbye.”
“Her Majesty is resting in the palace. You can go straight to the palace to see her.”
“Goodbye.”
Murphy led Huanhuan up the vine stairs toward the tree.
Before they could go far, Huanhuan heard the discussion of the elves behind her.
“How dare Murphy come back? Wasn’t he chased out by the queen?!”
“So what if he’s chased out? No matter what, he’s still Her Majesty’s son. Her Majesty can’t actually leave him be.”
“Then what if he suddenly turns into a night elf like before?”
“Don’t say that. Night elves are lowly and dirty creatures. Just thinking about them makes me feel disgusted.”
…
When they were far away, they couldn’t hear much of what they were saying.
Huanhuan turned to look at Murphy beside her to see his reaction to the discussion among the elves.
However, Murphy didn’t seem to hear the discussion behind him. He remained calm. He noticed Huanhuan’s gaze and looked down at her. “What’s wrong?”
Huanhuan asked, “Aren’t you angry?”
Murphy understood what she meant. He smiled. “There’s nothing to be angry about. I’m used to it.”
The light elves” hatred for the night elves was very deep, but Murphy couldn’t change his background. Facing the malicious gazes of others, all he could do was endure and get used to them.
Huanhuan looked at him as if she saw Sang Ye in him.
Like him, Sang Ye was sandwiched between ordinary beasts and demons. His life was extremely difficult.
Huanhuan held Murphy’s hand and said firmly, “We’ll leave immediately after we’re done. It’s not that they’re chasing you away but that you can’t be bothered with them!”
Her face was covered by a veil of snow, so he couldn’t see her expression.
But Murphy could feel that she must be glowing now.
Like the sun, she was bright and warm.
Murphy tightened his grip on her hand. “Okay.”
The palace was built in the center branch of the elf tree. It was all made of vines and various strange plants. The sharp roof was hung with emerald leaves, making it look exquisite and gorgeous.
Many elves on the way noticed Murphy and stopped to look at him. Occasionally, a few of them greeted him.
They all seemed surprised that Murphy would suddenly return.
After what had just happened, Huanhuan observed carefully this time and found that many elves looked at Murphy with disgust and rejection.
Their gazes were as though they were looking at trash that should be dealt with.
It was uncomfortable.
Murphy didn’t seem to notice. He held Huanhuan’s hand and walked through the crowd into the palace.
The Elven Queen had long received the news. She got dressed and walked out of her chamber. Her long silver silk dress trailed behind her, and her long golden curly hair was down. Her emerald eyes were slightly upturned, looking charming and cold.
When she saw Murphy, her eyes immediately lit up.
She wore a genuine smile, which was completely different from the politeness the elves outside were deliberately showing.
Huanhuan thought that the Elven Queen must really like Murphy.
“Child, you’re finally back.”
Murphy bowed elegantly. “Mother.”
Huanhuan followed his example and bent down. “Your Majesty.”
The Elven Queen helped Murphy up and looked him up and down. She smiled. “Not bad. You look taller. You’re also very energetic.”
“Mother, you look as beautiful as ever.”
The Elven Queen covered her mouth and chuckled. “You have a sweet mouth.”
After chatting for a while, the topic shifted to Huanhuan.
