Li Mu thought it was better to have partners with personalities he liked.
He liked straightforward people. Having flaws was okay, but it was important to be sincere when communicating.
As for scheming characters, he was never fond of them, even if he knew they weren’t inherently bad; he just didn’t like them.
*Maybe it was a personality conflict.*
Anyway, with the Elental Elf successfully recruited, he could now confidently go to the Divine Country instance to farm the Divine Artifact.
The Elental Elf was very sensitive to magic power, so Li Mu planned to take the little one along during the grind, hoping it might bring unexpected results.
After signing the partner pact and signaling the little one to sit on his shoulder, Li Mu returned to Grey Harbor.
When he arrived at his own base and saw Demacia, who had already heard the news, the other’s eyes were wide with surprise.
Then, he burst into laughter,
"Damn! Brother Mu, why is the Elental Elf you bonded with a male? Wouldn’t a female be nicer? Why go for a cute boy when you could have a pretty girl? It’s so much less interesting with a guy..."
Li Mu:...
He was used to Demacia’s big mouth and just twitched a corner of his mouth, but the little Nezha on his shoulder felt offended.
"Hmph."
He snorted coldly, raised his hand slightly, and cast a one-ring Blast Magic at Demacia.
Seeing the little fireball heading straight for him, Demacia’s smile froze.
"Damn!"
In a panic, he tried to dodge.
But he didn’t manage to avoid it and was directly hit on the head.
He was already at level 50, so the little elf had intentionally kept it to a one-ring spell, which wasn’t life-threatening, but still made him look quite foolish.
Caught off guard, his hair really turned into an explosion.
With a howl, Demacia rubbed the flas on his head and ran away.
"Serves you right!"
Li Mu’s Elental Elf held his little head high.
Li Mu:...
He felt amused and exasperated.
However, soon after, he felt the little guy on his shoulder tense up and suddenly reach out to clutch his neck...
Having spent so ti with Nezha, Li Mu knew this ant the little guy was nervous.
As he wondered what was making him nervous, he suddenly heard a familiar and excited voice,
"Wow! Brother Mu, have you also found an Elental Elf partner?"
Li Mu looked up.
It was Xia Mu.
On his shoulder sat the wind Elental Elf, Dingdang, happily licking a white nut and occasionally glancing curiously at Li Mu and Nezha on his shoulder.
"Yeah, this is Nezha,"
Li Mu introduced.
While introducing, he noticed that his little Nezha had beco shy and behaved, completely different from his earlier haughty deanor.
Hearing Li Mu’s words, Xia Mu paused slightly.
He looked at the little guy on Li Mu’s shoulder, then smiled,
"They do match quite well."
After speaking, he introduced himself,
"I’m Xia Mu."
He also pointed to Dingdang,
"This is Dingdang."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xia Mu took his leave.
It wasn’t until Xia Mu left that Li Mu heard a surprised voice from little Nezha,
"So... other contracted Elental Elves really exist. Is she called Dingdang? Such a nice na!"
Li Mu slightly raised his eyebrows.
*He felt there was a subtle tone in that statent.*
Turning his head to see the little guy who flew halfway into the air, looking in the direction Xia Mu left, Li Mu noticed his eyes slightly sparkling with a bit of pure shyness like a young boy.
Li Mu:...
*This...*
*Sothing’s not right with you.*
*Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen pigs run.*
*At that mont, it would be strange if he didn’t understand why the Elental Elf he just recruited suddenly beca quiet.*
*So... Elental Elves could develop feelings for the opposite sex?!*
He was stunned.
Even if it were true, all he could do was light a candle for little Nezha.
He knew Xia Mu too well; that guy completely treated Dingdang like a daughter, and Li Mu figured he wouldn’t allow a pig to snatch his cabbage halfway.
And little Dingdang, besides eating—no, licking stuff all day, she hovered around Xia Mu and cared about nothing else.
*Destined to be unrequited love...*
*Li Mu silently lit a candle for little Nezha in his heart.*
At that mont, a few guild players, covered in wounds and limping back to the base, caught Li Mu’s attention.
He frowned slightly and quickly went over to help heal them with Druid’s healing magic, asking,
"What happened? How did you guys end up like this?"
The players were all of the black iron level.
As they healed their wounds, they laughed bitterly,
"Brother Mu, don’t ask. The Demon God instance bugged out."
"The Demon Maze bugged out?"
Li Mu blinked in surprise.
"That’s right, the big boss Azazel went berserk."
A wounded player replied.
