Chapter : 142
Laine put him down. Yan Yunqing still did not undo his roleplay and continued to be a little Kāmi beast. In their short ti together, Yan Yunqing had keenly figured out the difference in attitude the elves had towards humans versus small animals.
Even though Laine knew he was a human transford into a Kāmi beast, when he looked at his Kāmi beast appearance, he would subconsciously relax a little, not as tense as when he spoke of the human race.
Since he could get closer by relying on his cute appearance, Yan Yunqing didn't mind acting cute.
The Kāmi beast's short legs hopped up the wooden stairs. Laine pushed open the door to the wooden palace for him.
A throne stood at the forefront, and below it was a table piled high with heavy scrolls and docunts. A figure sat behind it, engrossed in their work.
Seemingly hearing the sound, he looked up in Yan Yunqing's direction. Seeing that it was Laine, he nodded slightly, "Laine, you found Zara and Quill?"
"Don't ntion it, those two little ones really snuck out, and they even used my secret order." Laine subconsciously complained, "You have no idea, when I found my secret order was missing, I nearly died of fright! Sooner or later, I'm going to be angered to the point of returning to the Mother Tree by these little cubs!"
That figure stood up, the sa smooth black hair cascading down, revealing his entire face from behind the ssy pile of docunts.
His features were sharp, and he looked very intimidating when his face was expressionless, carrying an aura of solemn pressure.
His appearance was no different from other elves, looking only a little older than Yan Yunqing, but for so reason, he gave off the feeling of being very old.
This was the accumulation of years.
As soon as Yan Yunqing saw the other party's level, he knew that this Regus must have lived for hundreds of years.
Level 141...
Regus's gaze swept over Laine, Zara, and Quill, and he spoke faintly: "Leaving Selinval without permission. Zara, Quill, ten days of confinent. Quill, for breaking Elder Pike's potion and escaping, you are sentenced to copy the Elf Cub Rules thirty tis."
He calmly decided Zara and Quill's punishnt. That emotionless tone, however, made Quill's face change drastically, "The Elf Cub Rules! Isn't it copying the Elven Biography?"
Regus glanced at Quill, "If I rember correctly, Quill, you still have eighty rounds of the Elven Biography that you haven't handed in to . When do you plan to give them to ?"
Quill wilted, "I... I have been copying them... it'll be done soon..."
He hemd and hawed, unable to give a specific ti.
Regus did not show any signs of anger, but when his calm and unwavering gaze was fixed on others, it would exert a great deal of pressure.
Quill fell silent, not daring to utter a peep.
Regus: "I'll give you one month. If you haven't handed in all the copying punishnts you owe after one month, it will be doubled next month."
Quill felt like the sky was falling.
Zara looked at Quill with sympathy, wanting to tell Quill that she could help him copy so, but Quill was still trapped in the bad news that if he couldn't finish copying this month, it would be doubled next month, and didn't see the look Zara cast his way.
But Zara's small actions were seen by Regus. The purpose of punishing Quill was not to make him copy more, but to make Quill, who was about to enter his growth period, stay obediently in Selinval and not run around. Regus would not stand by and watch any elf attempt to help Quill.
He spoke, his tone still as calm and emotionless as before: "Zara, you were supposed to be watching Quill, but you ran out of the forest with him. You are also punished to copy the Elf Cub Rules twenty tis. If you don't hand it in next month, it will be doubled."
Zara let out a small gasp, but under Regus's gaze, she still nodded obediently.
The patriarch Regus was satisfied, his gaze finally falling on Yan Yunqing. His gaze was like a sharp knife, instantly cutting through Yan Yunqing's Kāmi beast disguise, seeing through to the inner self beneath the cute exterior.
He gave Laine a look, and Laine understood instantly, grabbing one elf cub in each hand, "Alright, alright, Elder Regus still has things to deal with. Let this guest chat with the elder alone. You two, co back with and copy your punishnts properly... oh right, you also have to be confined for ten days. Be good and copy your punishnts in the confinent room."
Saying that, Laine led the two elves out of the palace, leaving only the Kāmi beast and Regus standing face to face.
"Long ti no see." Regus bowed slightly, "Your honored Excellency."
Yan Yunqing was stunned, "What?"
Regus took a step forward and said softly, "Pardon my rudeness."
He then lifted Yan Yunqing up and placed him on the desk. Now Regus finally didn't have to bend down to look at the Kāmi beast in front of him.
Yan Yunqing was bewildered: ?
"Your honored Excellency, for what reason have you traveled so far to co here?"
Yan Yunqing: ???
"Wait... do you know ?" Yan Yunqing felt that his cover was in jeopardy. What was going on? He didn't know this Regus, did he? Why did this Regus act so familiar with him.
Regus's expression faltered for a mont, then he quickly recovered, lowering his eyes to hide the fleeting emotion in them, "Yes, I am..."
He opened his mouth, paused strangely for a mont, and then said the na that followed, "...Little Flower."
Little Flower...
Yan Yunqing almost choked. What kind of rustic na from a countryside romance was this? Who would give such a handso elf such a strange na... huh?
Yan Yunqing jumped back, his face full of shock: "You you you, Little Flower?!"
Regus's eyes were downcast. Hearing this na, he paused imperceptibly, and then nodded, "Yes."
Yan Yunqing's CPU crashed.
Little Flower, of course he knew the na Little Flower! Because he was the one who gave him this tacky na.
Back then, after Sylph had picked up the heavily injured "Demon King", there was always a taciturn elf cub who was responsible for taking care of him during his recovery.
When that little elf was born, a companion flower hatched with him. Not long after birth, it was obvious that he was a bit weaker than the other cubs in the sa batch.
The elf responsible for nurturing the cubs at that ti had examined the little elf and ca to a conclusion.
During this elf cub's reincarnation in the Mother Tree, one-third of his soul had fallen onto the companion flower that was born with him. It wasn't a big problem.
As long as he carried that companion flower with him, his body would not be affected.
When the growth period ca, he just needed to fuse with that flower.
So, this little elf flew around all day with a small flower on his head. Due to the lack of a part of his soul, his personality was also flawed. He was a taciturn little elf who would only bury his head in work.
However, among the cubs of the sa batch, he was also the most reliable one.
So after Sylph picked up the "Demon King", she had that cub take care of the new patient whenever he had ti. Over ti, the "Demon King" also beca familiar with this elf cub.
The elf cub had a tongue-twisting na that the "Demon King" couldn't rember. Because he had a small flower on his head, Yan Yunqing mischievously gave him the nickna "Little Flower". As he kept calling him that, he forgot Little Flower's original tongue-twisting na.
It could be said that Yan Yunqing's perception of elves being emotionally detached was initially built upon Sylph and Little Flower.
After all, although other elves were also emotionally detached, they more or less had so other traits.
Only Sylph and Little Flower were expressionless all day long, looking as if they were detached from worldly affairs and indifferent to fa and fortune.
Yan Yunqing looked at the composed Regus before him, and could vaguely see a resemblance to the Little Flower of yesteryear in his features. He couldn't help but do a tactical lean back: "You're really Little Flower?!"
Regus nodded again. Yan Yunqing opened his mouth and then closed it in embarrassnt.
Saying the na Little Flower felt like it burned his tongue! Why did he give him such a tacky na back then!
There was no pressure calling the ten-centiter-sized little elf with a flower on his head Little Flower, but calling a handso elf with a powerful aura, who was clearly in a high position, Little Flower... hmm, why did it feel so strange?
Yan Yunqing's expression was strange. He didn't know what to call the other party. After all, they had spent so ti together, and the other party had recognized him at a glance... wait, he could be recognized at a glance even after turning into a Kāmi beast? Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated?
Regus seed to have seen what Yan Yunqing was thinking. He spoke: "You can call by my na as you please, be it Little Flower or Regus."
