A wave of inexplicable emotion washed over him. Lin Yu stepped forward and hugged the girl tightly. This ti, he didn’t blush.
"My Lord!"
"This is so nice!"
The girl’s soft murmur reached Lin Yu’s ears.
After a long mont, Lin Yu let go of the girl. "See? You can rest assured now. I don’t hate you!"
"Mhm!" The girl nodded gently. A breeze swept by, making her beautiful hair flutter. She seed to love the wind, spreading her arms to welco it and revealing her graceful figure in its entirety.
Lin Yu’s eyes widened, and he froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
"My Lord, what are you looking at?"
Her ethereal voice snapped Lin Yu back to reality. The breeze had passed, and the girl had turned to look at him again.
"Oh, uh. Sorry, I zoned out for a second."
"Right, what’s your na?"
Lin Yu quickly turned his head away, his face bright red as he gazed into the distance.
"A na? What’s that?"
"It’s what people call you. If you don’t have a na, how should I address you?"
"We little elves don’t use nas. Everyone just naturally knows who I am!"
"But you’re not a little elf anymore!"
"Oh? That’s right!"
Only then did it dawn on the girl that she was no longer a little elf.
"My Lord, what am I now?"
"You’re a person now, like . You’re an... elf," Lin Yu hesitated.
"Are you an elf, My Lord?"
"No, I’m human. But they’re more or less the sa."
"Oh, okay. So I’m an Elf-man?"
"That’s right, an Elf-man."
"So, I have to have a na, and I have to wear clothes?"
"Yes, you need a na. As for clothes, you have to wear them when you’re outside. You don’t have to wear them at ho, like when you’re bathing," Lin Yu explained patiently.
The girl looked down in thought, then gave a slight wave of her hand. A breeze carried tender leaves to swirl around her body.
"Hee hee, I’ve got it! I can make my own clothes."
In an instant, the tender leaves transford into a long, green dress that covered the girl’s entire body. Lin Yu finally let out a sigh of relief. ’Having a beautiful girl standing beside him completely naked was way too much pressure.’
"But, My Lord, how do you choose a na?"
"Take , for example. My na is Lin Yu."
"Aren’t you called My Lord?" the girl asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"Lord is my position, my status. Within the territory, you can call My Lord, or Lin Yu, or Lord Lin Yu. Shadow calls Master."
Lin Yu continued to explain patiently.
"It’s so complicated, so difficult!" the girl muttered with a frown, looking utterly pitiable.
Lin Yu couldn’t bear to see her looking like that, so he offered, "How about I choose a na for you?"
"Yes, please!"
"You’re the first elf in the territory to evolve from a little elf. You represent the hope of the little elves and the rebirth of your kind. So, I’ll call you Chenxi."
"Wonderful! I have a na! I’m Chen... xi!"
"Hee hee... Lin... Chenxi!"
Watching the girl—no, Chenxi—sound out her new na syllable by syllable, Lin Yu smiled happily as well.
After a while, Chenxi finally quieted down.
"Chenxi! Co here, let see your stats."
Hearing Lin Yu’s call, Chenxi cheerfully ran to his side.

*Hiss...*
Chenxi’s stats were terrifying, and she was only level one. It was no exaggeration to say that if she’d used even a little bit of strength when she hugged him earlier, it would have been ga over for Lin Yu.
Her only skill, "Natural Energy Control," was also incredibly powerful. One could say it had no limits, its only ceiling being the user’s own imagination.
This was also how Chenxi had been able to conjure a dress for herself. As long as she could imagine it, natural energy could make it happen.
"Master, who is she? Where did the fruit go?"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind Lin Yu.
"Shadow?" Lin Yu jumped.
"Shadow, don’t sneak up behind and talk like that. It’s really startling."
"Yes, Master!"
Shadow lowered his head, acknowledging his mistake.
"She’s your wife’s friend. Don’t you recognize her? Since she’s co out, the fruit is gone, obviously!"
Shadow’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Isn’t she supposed to be one of those round, green little elves? How did she end up looking so much like you, Master?"
"Weren’t you the one who said she was researching how to beco a hero and ended up turning herself into that fruit?"
"Well, she succeeded, so naturally she’s changed."
Lin Yu found this odd. ’Shadow was the one who brought here, so how could he not recognize Chenxi now that she’s erged?’
"Wait, Master. Are you saying she’s my wife’s best friend, that she beca a hero and turned into... this?"
"Of course!"
*Hiss...* "Little elves sure are strange. I didn’t change my appearance when I beca a hero."
"Uh..." Lin Yu didn’t know what to say. "Maybe it’s a trait of the little elves? They’re highly malleable?"
"That’s it!" Shadow suddenly understood. "It’s just like when the little elves were researching how to reproduce, and a whole bunch of them turned into Slis. So now, to beco a hero, they turn into... they turn into..."
"Elves,"
"They turn into elves!" Shadow finished, then looked at Chenxi, who had interjected. "Can you still produce natural energy?"
"Not anymore," Chenxi said, sounding crestfallen. "I’m not a little elf anymore."
"Hey, it’s alright! Those Slis are living pretty well now, aren’t they? Don’t be sad."
"I’m not sad. I beca a hero, so I can do more to help my Lord. I was just thinking that since I’m not a little elf anymore, I can’t attend the Little Elf Council and persuade the others to beco heroes."
Chenxi quickly explained.
"Hold on, what are you two talking about? Slis? The Little Elf Council?"
Lin Yu, who had been listening from the side in a complete fog, interrupted the conversation between the wolf and the elf.
’It feels like the territory changed a lot while I was away,’ he thought. ’I’m feeling a little behind the tis.’
"My Lord, I can tell you! I took part in the Sli experints, too."
Chenxi pulled Lin Yu aside and began to tell him everything: the changes the little elves had gone through since he left, why they started researching reproduction, how the Little Elf Council was ford, and what happened after.
Lin Yu’s eyes lit up as he listened, completely fascinated by the story.
"Chenxi, you’re good friends with Shadow’s wife, right? Why don’t you go to his ho and see her? I’m going to head back to the heart of the territory to check on its status—I still haven’t looked at the information from the upgrade. Tomorrow... no, the day after tomorrow, I’ll have you both over again!"
"Okay! See you the day after tomorrow, My Lord!"
"See you the day after tomorrow, Master!"
"See you the day after tomorrow!"
