Chapter 195: Chapter 63 Yila Making Tea

Glowing berries were a specialty of the Silver Moon Tree Court. Because they were difficult to store, they could basically only be found locally within the court. The darker the surroundings, the brighter these berries would glow.

They could also serve as streetlights at night... the Silver Moon Tree Court didn’t use oil lamps.

The berries were sweet, could regulate the qi, dispel dampness, and resolve phlegm. They were easy to digest and could both fill hunger and quench thirst. While abundant, they were not the primary food of the Elf Clan.

Because... the glow emitted by the berries would gradually envelop the individual consuming them, imparting the glowing trait — literally glowing.

In other words, after eating them, one’s body would emit a faint luminescence. The more one ate and the darker the environment, the more intense the glow would be... It looked quite pretty, but it was somewhat embarrassing.

"Yila... you tricked me~"

Satan Ye complained, casting a resentful glance with her pouty lips. However... her tail was happily swaying, as if she found it amusing.

So, yes, many magical creatures and Beastmen in this world were very easy to read... Their non-human traits would honestly reveal their true inner thoughts.

"You’ve said that three or four times on the way here..."

Yila smiled helplessly, extending his faintly glowing hand to pat Satan Ye on the head. Looking at everyone glowing, he said, "You see, we all ate them, didn’t we?"

"Ugh, Yila, you tricked me~"

But Satan Ye still repeated her words.

"Hahaha~"

Hilena covered her mouth and chuckled, and the Mermaid Leader wore a similar expression. However, the Naga Leader and Merfolk Leader weren’t as elegant, laughing so hard they clutched their stomachs, with tears nearly streaming down their faces: "Hahahahahaha!!!"

While joking, they arrived before the Silver Moon Tree Royal Court Tree... Yes, that’s the name of the huge building before them. The correct phrasing was "Silver Moon Tree Royal Court, Tree."

The Silver Moon Tree Royal Court Tree was an enormous tree with many rooms, stairs, and halls carved out of its trunk, forming a huge building complex with floors, front and back yards.

One of the branches of the Silver Moon Tree Royal Court Tree extended to the World Tree, allowing someone to walk directly from there to the World Tree... saying "branch" was a bit misleading; stepping on it felt like walking on a plaza-sized flat surface.

Because the branches were really that large.

The Elf Guards, dressed in leather armor and standing guard in front of the Silver Moon Tree Royal Court Tree, nodded at the returning Cassiopeia to signal their acknowledgement. Then they smiled and nodded at Yila and the others... primarily at Yila.

"Lord Yila’s reputation among the elves was really high..."

Hilena remarked.

"Indeed, indeed!"

The Merfolk Leader echoed.

Yila just smiled, following Cassiopeia into the Royal Court Tree’s entrance, and looking back at the others following. He said, "After all, Favignano and I helped the Elf Clan resolve a crisis that could have led to their extinction..."

"..."

Seeing the expressions of Satan Ye and the others, Yila knew that guy hadn’t mentioned anything like this to them. He smiled and said, "When we discuss the next trade, let Cassiopeia tell you the story~"

That wasn’t a problem, but it seemed that Yila had something to attend to?

Amid everyone’s confusion, Cassiopeia led them to sit around a round table in the hall... this was where she dealt with official matters, with her tools being a teacup, a teapot, and a novel.

Yes, because... the position of Elf Empress was entirely ceremonial, a role with power but no need to govern, leaving her with no significant matters requiring her decision.

Yila looked at Cassiopeia lazily collapsing on the table, devoid of any royal demeanor. He shook his head helplessly, opened a nearby wooden cabinet, and took out several new teacups.

Time seemed to have left no mark on the elves. Even after all these years, nothing in the stored places had changed one bit.

An eternal and unchanging land, naturally enduring forever if nothing went wrong. But that wasn’t the end Yila wanted to see... Instead, it was another form of happiness.

It was not the kind of happiness Yila wished to see.

"Long ago, when Favignano and I were at the Silver Moon Tree Court, I was always the one responsible for making tea... Cassiopeia and he both said my tea-making skills were excellent."

Yila said nostalgically. He brewed a pot of tea with an impeccable technique and style, even by the standards of his previous world, preparing tea for everyone sitting at the table.

"Back then, that dragon sat across from me, hands behind his head, leaning back, crossing his legs, and swinging them..."

Cassiopeia said, watching Satan Ye, who was now sitting across from her, ponder over Yila’s tea... crystal clear tea that was as beautiful as ever.

"..."

Seeing everyone starting to drink tea, Yila wiped his hands on a piece of satin, just like decades ago, and said, "You all chat; I’ll head to the Demon King Territory after. Now I need to visit the World Tree. I’ll be back later."

So it seemed the matter Yila mentioned earlier was related to the World Tree.

"Give me the travel pass."

Yila held out his hand to Cassiopeia, signaling her to lend him the travel pass to the World Tree. However, she waved her hand nonchalantly, saying, "Don’t worry, the guards will let you pass."

Had he mentioned it beforehand? Perhaps Cassiopeia wasn’t entirely dazed.

Thinking this, Yila followed his memory and exited the hall via the stairs... even though Cassiopeia hadn’t actually said anything like that, she trusted in Yila’s face-recognition power.

"Mmm, delicious..."

Hilena commented, shaking her head. She said, "Although I don’t want to admit it, as a maid, am I even inferior to Lord Yila in this aspect?"

*It was unclear whether Yila’s broad range of skills or his innate talent deserved praise.*

"Cassiopeia?"

Satan Ye quietly sipped her tea while watching Yila’s familiar back as he left. She asked during Cassiopeia’s "Hmm?" of curiosity, "Can you tell me the story between you and Yila?"

Cassiopeia: "Hmm? Sure~"
