Chapter 730: Chapter 570: Signing the Contract
“Ah, this…”
“Who designed the Elental Elf AI?”
Xia Mu wore a peculiar expression.
The Elental Elf licked with great care and attention.
Xia Mu saw her little pink tongue twirling around the edge of the nut, her face showing an expression of enjoynt as she licked.
anwhile, the nut in her arms began to shrink quickly, its luster becoming increasingly dull.
That was a sign of the magic being exhausted.
Clearly, the abundant magic in the nut had been absorbed by the little creature.
Seeing this, Xia Mu felt a spark of curiosity, forming a few guesses.
*Could it be… the Elental Elf feeds on magic?*
*Is she absorbing magic?*
After finishing licking the nut, the Elental Elf showed a satisfied expression and smacked her lips as if savoring every bit.
She tossed the drained nut to the ground, chuckled at Xia Mu, and then, holding the unpeeled nut she had plucked earlier, flapped her butterfly-like wings and flew off again.
“Hey! Wait a minute!”
Xia Mu quickly chased after her.
Of course, he didn’t forget to mark the location of the nuts along the way, planning to gather them all later.
These magic-filled nuts were still in high demand among players and could fetch a good contribution score.
Besides, if he really managed to befriend the little elf, it would make excellent food!
This ti, the Elental Elf didn’t soar into the sky but fluttered through the forest like a butterfly.
In the dense forest, the trees weren’t an obstacle for the petite Elental Elf, but it was a different story for Xia Mu.
Chasing the little elf on foot in the forest was clearly much harder than pursuing her in the sky on a Red Dragon.
Even with his naturally high agility as an elf, he couldn’t match the Elental Elf’s speed.
Luckily, the little elf’s speed wasn’t as rapid as before; instead, it seed she was freely and playfully flying around.
Xia Mu switched to shoes with a speed-enhancent effect from his storage ring, cast a lightening spell on himself, and followed closely.
In fact, he faintly outpaced her.
But whenever Xia Mu was about to catch up, the Elental Elf would suddenly speed up.
Often, it was accompanied by a peal of silvery laughter.
When the distance between Xia Mu and the Elental Elf widened, she would slow down again, returning to her leisurely and carefree flight.
Xia Mu:…
After experiencing this a few tis, even Xia Mu, not the sharpest, realized that the little creature seed to be playing hide-and-seek with him.
“Just as playful as the website described…”
Xia Mu’s expression was peculiar.
Yet, his lips were curling upwards uncontrollably.
He was growing increasingly fond of this delightful little creature.
Quirky and clever, mischievous and cute…
*It’s way too charming, isn’t it?!*
*Elental Elves are the best!*
He thought for a mont and decided to experint by slowing down his speed, trying the tactic of feigned retreat.
Sure enough, as Xia Mu pretended to be too tired to continue the chase, the Elental Elf slowed down as well.
*There’s hope!*
Xia Mu’s lips curved slightly upward.
He slowed down even more… until he simply stopped.
Seeing Xia Mu stop chasing, the little elf surprisingly didn’t fly further away.
She circled around, flew back, and orbited the “panting” Xia Mu.
Moreover, the little creature clutched the nut in one hand, placed her other hand on her cheek, and stuck out her tongue playfully at him.
However, it seed she didn’t quite have the strength, and the nut was still a bit too big for her…
Her one hand couldn’t grip the nut well, and as she made a face, the nut slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground.
The little elf was startled.
She quickly landed, huffing and puffing to pick the nut up again. Then, she carefully wiped off the dirt, sniffed it with a wrinkle of her nose, and giggled with a satisfied expression.
Xia Mu:…
*This…*
*Is way too adorable!*
*I can’t take it; my heart can’t handle this.*
He took a deep breath and then quietly approached.
But, the fallen leaves underfoot, accumulated over who knows how many years, creaked noisily…
The little creature was imdiately alerted.
She looked up, glanced at Xia Mu, stuck out her tongue again, made a playful face, and then giggled while flying away with the nut.
Xia Mu:…
“Cute she is, but how long is she going to play hide-and-seek with ?”
He sighed.
Looking up at the sky barely visible through the branches, the sky was gradually darkening.
If the chase continued, he’d have to spend the night in the forest.
“Let’s make her stop first.”
Scratching his head, Xia Mu cast all the acceleration spells he could on himself and chased after her at top speed…
This ti, the little creature didn’t fly too far.
Xia Mu caught up quickly enough.
However, when he caught up, he found the Elental Elf had settled onto a bush, intently looking at sothing.
As dusk set in, the forest grew darker, but the little elf, glowing softly all over, was like a pearl in the darkness.
For so reason, Xia Mu thought he saw a hint of worry on her face.
*Hmm?*
He felt a stir of curiosity.
Sneaking closer, this ti the little creature didn’t flee.
In fact, when he got nearer, the little elf glanced back at him and cutely put a finger to her lips in a hush gesture.
