Chapter 194: Chapter 62: Glowing Berries

"No need to thank me. Your father already thanked me before he died."

Yila said this, and Satan Ye’s eyes widened instantly. She couldn’t help but ask the elf lady, "Sis, did Mr. Yila also kill your father?"

By any measure, this question was outrageous, but at this moment, it seemed so reasonable...

"Hmm? You must be Satan Ye... Are you Favignano’s daughter?"

The elf woman nodded and continued, "Yes, Mr. Yila cleansed all the Corrupted Lands and released all the corrupted elves. Was your father also corrupted at that time?"

Being asked this, Satan Ye, who did not understand what *corruption* meant, was stunned and looked at Yila in confusion... Was my father corrupted? Is that why Mr. Yila killed him?

"No, it was just that we were enemies on the battlefield, so I killed him."

Yila said mercilessly.

"Ah, that couldn’t be helped then..."

The elf girl showed an understanding expression. It seemed that they could view life and death well... or rather, people in this world did not value life and death as much as the ancient federations (Huaxia).

Of course, if someone close to you was killed, anger was still warranted.

Because in this world, the souls of the dead would indeed return to the World Tree, and that soul would eventually become nourishment for the World Tree, then be reborn again.

Even the theocratic country, which denied the existence of gods, acknowledged this point.

This world was quite idealistic. Even if Mana was regarded as a fundamental particle, it still was not materialistic... In this idealistic and magical world, tackling problems from a materialistic perspective would only lead to a dead end.

"Yila, how many days do you plan to stay this time?"

Cassiopeia asked Yila expectantly, hoping Yila would stay a few days in the Silver Moon Tree Court, but received no answer from Yila.

Yila just pointed at Hilena and Satan Ye, indicating that they should be asked instead of him.

"To reply to King Cassiopeia, after the trade is completed and we have discussed the contents of the next trade, we will return... The affairs in the Demon King Territory are busy, and we cannot stay long. Please understand."

Hilena spoke respectfully yet distantly, causing Cassiopeia to look disappointed.

"However, I might stay for a while longer to handle some personal matters... Hilena, you and Satan Ye take everyone back first. I’ll return to the Demon King Territory through Void Travel later."

Yila said, about to explain his reasons for doing so, but Hilena and Satan Ye nodded immediately in agreement, with the little Demon King nodding and saying, "Then Mr. Yila, do your best and come back soon."

"..."

*Is this trust a bit excessive? What if I decide to stay in the Silver Moon Tree Court and never return? But being the trusted one feels really nice.*

Yila thought, nodding to show he understood.

But, thinking carefully, if I really wanted to stay in the Silver Moon Tree Court forever, forcibly retaining me in the Demon King Territory would result in unfavorable outcomes.

So, is this hitting the mark by chance? Even though I have no intention of resigning from the Demon King Territory—The Silver Moon Tree Court is a great place to retire but not suitable for realizing dreams and ambitions.

"Hmm? That’s good then. I asked everyone in the Royal Court to prepare a room for you. Satan Ye, Hilena, and the three other ladies, please rest in the Royal Court until the trade is complete."

Cassiopeia said, her joy evident on her face. Yila presumed this was the joy of reuniting with an old friend... Hopefully, it’s genuinely that and not for some other reason.

With Cassiopeia’s invitation, the six followed the surrounding elves, leaving behind the Sea Demon sailors unloading cargo and the children helping out... What? Should Satan Ye need protection?

On one hand, the Sea Demons on the ship couldn’t defeat the three Sea Demon Leaders, and the three leaders couldn’t defeat Hilena. On the other hand... If Yila couldn’t protect Satan Ye, then no amount of Black Knights surrounding her would make a difference.

Passing through a forest with dense canopies, under the gentle gaze of the elves on the branches, they headed towards the largest tree in the distance... That was where the World Tree was located.

Of course, the so-called Silver Moon Tree Royal Court was not the World Tree itself. The residence of royalty and noble elves was on a large tree before the immense World Tree, so large it barely looked like a *tree*.

If the World Tree’s size made one unable to perceive the curvature of its trunk when standing before it, then the Royal Court Tree was much smaller, yet still enormous...

Including its bark, the area of one floor might be as large as the whole Demon King Territory.

"It’s beautiful..."

Satan Ye marveled, walking on the forest path. Due to the dense leaves, little sunlight shone through, but the surroundings were still illuminated—there were many glowing ferns all around.

Occasionally, a few fireflies were seen fluttering.

This place seemed filled with a beautiful and mysterious aura.

"Yes, but the Silver Moon Tree Court is even more beautiful at night."

Yila smiled, seemingly very familiar with the Silver Moon Tree Court, saying, "It’s noon now. When we come back tonight, you can look more closely... The nighttime here on the ground is brighter than the moon in the sky."

"Wow~"

Satan Ye looked up in admiration, gazing at the rustling leaves above. Listening to Yila, her anticipation for the nighttime’s goldenness increased.

"Here, this is for you, Sister Satan Ye~"

It seemed from their first visit that Cassiopeia and Satan Ye had called each other sisters. Yila always felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.

Satan Ye blinked, looking at the glowing blue berry Cassiopeia handed her and then seeing her distribute berries to Hilena, the three Sea Demons, and Yila, asking, "What is this? Can it be eaten?"

"Yes, glowing berries. They taste very good."

Yila said.

"..."

Although she sensed some malice, since Yila said so, it should be fine.

Thinking this, Satan Ye didn’t notice Yila had no intention of eating it himself. She gently bit into the berry, the size of a pinky finger, and a sweet flavor burst out instantly... Her eyes lit up, and she quickly ate the berry in her hand.

"Delicious~"

Satan Ye said happily, noticing Yila’s gaze... which seemed to be holding back laughter.

Satan Ye followed Yila’s gaze to her own body...

"Wow!!! Why am I glowing?!"
