Chapter 1299: Chapter 1270: Cherie Returns
Arriving once again in the territory of the Elf Race, although the place had changed, Li Chen felt a familiar sensation when he walked in.
The presence of this Breath of Life is what made Li Chen feel familiar.
Gradually, Li Chen also understood Odelia’s previous words.
Indeed, where there is a Tree of Life, can it truly be called the Elf Forest of the Elf Race.
This kind of aura is unique, and Li Chen also understood why Patricia was so grateful to him when he once used the Seventh Heavenly Pearl to devour the Dragon Fla of the Black Dragon.
This tree is indeed extrely important to the Elf Race.
Seeing this towering tree again, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
Of course, what intrigued him more was how the Tree of Life had migrated to this side. However, this should be considered a secret of the Elf Race, so he refrained from asking questions.
Li Chen thought the first familiar face he would see, apart from Odelia, would probably be Patricia or Daphne, but unexpectedly, the first familiar face he encountered upon entering the Elf Forest was Cherie!
“Brother Li Chen?”
Cherie was currently holding a few herbs in her hands, and she was draped in a long robe with silver edges, different from the other Elf Race warriors.
After not seeing her for so ti, Cherie seed to have matured quite a bit, but upon catching sight of Li Chen, she imdiately tossed aside the herbs and rushed towards him without hesitation.
“Whew—”
The robe stirred up a fragrant breeze as Cherie leaped into Li Chen’s arms, leaving him sowhat caught off guard.
“Brother Li Chen, you’re back, you really ca back!” Cherie held Li Chen tightly as if he might disappear the mont she loosened her grip.
“I…” Li Chen wanted to explain how he had returned, but hearing the hint of tears in Cherie’s voice, he found himself speechless, simply reaching out to gently pat Cherie’s head.
“I ca back.”
In truth, how could Li Chen not understand this girl’s feelings for him?
Initially, he was sowhat drawn to this kind-hearted girl; it was Cherie who found him when he was seriously injured.
During the ti he couldn’t move, it was Cherie who took care of him.
Later, when the Earth Demon Clan appeared, Li Chen rescued Cherie. To Li Chen, it was rely what he felt he should do, but gradually, he realized this girl seed to have developed different feelings towards him.
Seeing Cherie during the Earth Demon Clan incident, Li Chen was reminded of another girl, planting a seed of conflict within his heart.
He felt he was treating Cherie as a substitute for soone else.
Believing he shouldn’t do this, he intentionally started distancing himself from Cherie. But soon, he found that no matter what he did, the girl didn’t seem to care. She just wanted to be by his side, even if silently.
When he left, it was the first ti he heard this strong girl cry.
At that mont, Li Chen’s feelings were complicated.
Odelia walked away, giving Li Chen and Cherie ti to be alone.
She didn’t know what Li Chen and Cherie had experienced, but she knew Cherie liked Li Chen, and Cherie was brought to the Elf Race by Li Chen. Currently, Cherie is one of the top healers within the Elf Race!
“So, after that Brother Li Chen, you returned to your world?”
“Yes, that place is entirely different from here, with tall buildings and electronic devices not found here. Ordinary people also have cars for traveling, which are much faster than riding horses.”
“Cars? Like carriages?”
“No, in my world, cars have four wheels, can start on their own without being pulled by animals, and are very fast. It’s the most convenient for ordinary people.”
“I really want to visit Brother Li Chen’s world,” Cherie said with a face full of longing.
“If you ever get the chance to go, I’ll be your guide,” Li Chen said with a smile.
The two sat down in a secluded place, chatting back and forth just as they did back when they first left the Earth Demon Clan’s territory.
Back then, Li Chen had just started teaching Cherie so knowledge about herbal dicine. Although Cherie’s ability to grasp was quite strong, she still struggled with many things and would frequently ask Li Chen for help, to which he would always patiently respond.
Regarding what he experienced after returning and why he ca back to the minor world, Cherie didn’t ask, and Li Chen didn’t say.
To Cherie, it seed none of that mattered; what mattered was that Li Chen was now by her side.
This is a pure and sowhat silly girl, but the more Cherie acted this way, the more Li Chen felt a sense of inexplicable guilt in his heart.
He admitted that he indeed had feelings for Cherie.
But more than that, it was a difficult-to-express emotion.
He is a man, one who has his own family. In his world, many enemies are watching him intently, and he can’t even promise his family anything, let alone Cherie.
“Cherie,” Li Chen said while looking at the busy elves not far away, “How have you been during this ti?”
“Hmm…” Cherie thought for a mont before continuing, “Pretty good. At first, the elves felt unfamiliar with , but after so ti, they gradually accepted . Compared to Kalin Village, I’ve learned more things here among the Elf Race.”
“And…” Cherie sneaked her lips close to Li Chen’s ear and whispered, “Daphne often secretly took out to play; we went to many places. Brother Li Chen, you mustn’t tell anyone.”
Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing Cherie’s words.
This Elf Princess, still so troubleso.
However, Li Chen could tell that her presence indeed helped alleviate many of Cherie’s solitary emotions.
Though Cherie didn’t say it, Li Chen knew that during the initial period, Cherie must have felt very lonely. But maybe it was Daphne who helped Cherie overco this loneliness.
“Brother Li Chen, you seem to have a bloody sll,” Cherie suddenly furrowed her brows and asked with so concern, “You didn’t get hurt, did you?”
On the way to this new Elf Forest, Li Chen had already changed out of his blood-stained clothes, but perhaps because they hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned, there was still a faint scent of blood on him, unexpectedly caught by Cherie.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Li Chen smiled and patted Cherie’s head, “I taught you herbal dicine; do you think I’d let myself suffer?”
Upon hearing this, Cherie imdiately broke into a smile, “I knew it, Brother Li Chen is the best.”
