Chapter 849: Chapter 834 Magic Plane 42

Yali nodded and climbed in through the window.

"You look really different from us, how strange," Yali said, looking up at her.

"Of course it’s different, after all, we’re not from the same race. It would be abnormal if we looked the same," Xia Yue replied.

"You make sense," Yali pondered and felt that what she said was logical.

"Of course, what’s your name? Did you come here just to see what we look like?" Xia Yue asked as she looked at him.

"Yeah, I’ve never seen outsiders before, so I was curious to come and see," Yali nodded.

"Do you want to try this?" Xia Yue took out a bamboo tube from her Space and offered it to him.

"What is this?" Yali looked at the bamboo tube, recalling the elder Elves’ warning not to eat things given by outsiders, lest one be captured and sold.

"This is fruit juice from our place; it’s a bit different from what you have here," Xia Yue explained.

"My mother said I shouldn’t just eat what outsiders give to me." Yali licked his lips, tempted to try but also afraid.

"I’ll drink it too." Xia Yue opened the bamboo tube, took a sip directly, then took out another bamboo tube from the System Space and handed it to him.

Seeing Xia Yue drink with no ill effects, the innocent Yali was convinced and happily received the bamboo tube and drank from it just as she had done.

"It tastes so good," Yali’s eyes lit up as he said happily, taking a few more sips.

"As long as you like it. What kind of tasty things do you have here?" Xia Yue took the opportunity to gather information. When they could move around freely, she could go and try them out. If they were delicious, she could buy more to take back.

"Yes, the Elf Fruit we grow is very tasty. Here, this is the Elf Fruit I grew; it’s sweet," Yali said as he pulled out a small red fruit from the pouch on his body and handed it to Xia Yue, looking expectant.

Xia Yue took the fruit, smelling it. There wasn’t any special scent, just a hint of sweetness and a mature red color. She wiped the fruit with a napkin and took a bite.

"How is it? Tastes good, doesn’t it?" Yali asked eagerly.

"Delicious," Xia Yue nodded. It was indeed sweet, with the refreshing taste of watermelon, and crisp, which she particularly liked.

"I’ve got more, do you want them?" Seeing that she liked them, Yali took out another five or six from his pouch and handed them to Xia Yue.

"You don’t need to give me so many; you can eat them too." Seeing him looking like a child, Xia Yue felt it wouldn’t be right for her, an adult, to take all his food.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, I have lots and lots. The Elf Fruit is something we cultivate ourselves. Each elf grows something different. Powerful elves can grow Elf Fruits that enhance magic power or strength.

Mine is just an ordinary fruit; it can only sweeten your mouth." Yali stuffed the fruit into her hand and looked envious when talking about other elves’ ability enhancing fruits. When he spoke of his own, his expression turned gloomy.

"Is that so? Maybe you are just too young, and that’s why you can’t grow them now. When you’re older, maybe you’ll be able to grow delicious fruit that also increases magic power and strength," Xia Yue consoled him, but she was thinking to herself that the Elf Clan was truly remarkable to grow fruit with so many abilities.

"Mm, I’ll work hard," Yali nodded with determination, encouraged by her supportive gaze.

Yali stayed with Xia Yue for over two hours before he left.

Xia Yue stored away the fruit he had given her.

[That little elf is really naive. It’s good that you aren’t actual bad people. Otherwise, with the way she is, she would have been sold long ago, and even helped count the money.] The System commented after the little elf had gone, speaking up in her mind.

"Elves are really cute; if I could have kids as adorable as that one day," Xia Yue fantasized aloud, thinking of the little elf.

[You haven’t even got a partner yet, and you’re dreaming about babies. Get real, concentrate on your quests instead,] the System teased her.

"Not having a partner doesn’t stop me from dreaming," Xia Yue retorted irritably.

[With your temperament, do you really think you could take care of a child properly? It’s not as simple as just feeding and watering them,] the System reminded her, knowing she disliked hassle.

"I’m just saying. If I actually had to raise one, forget a month – I wouldn’t want to for a single day. I prefer the idea of cloud parenting," Xia Yue admitted, quickly changing her mind after considering the difficulties mentioned by the System.

[Good that you understand.] The System relaxed, seeing she wasn’t serious about wanting to raise a child.

"I’ll lie down for a while; keep an eye out for me," Xia Yue said as she lay down on the bed; she was supposed to have slept earlier.

[Alright.] The System agreed and perched at the foot of the bed.

Xia Yue slept until evening.

"What time is it?" Xia Yue rubbed her eyes and sat up to ask.

[It’s past nine in the evening. Yan Mo and the others have been awake for a while. I told them not to disturb you. Now, they’re in Yan Mo’s room.] The System informed her.

"Okay." Xia Yue nodded, took some water and a washcloth from the Space, washed her face to freshen up, tidied herself up, and then followed the System’s directions to Yan Mo’s room.

Since she and Wei Se had chosen their houses first, she didn’t know where the other three had picked.

Arriving at Yan Mo’s cabin, the door was open, allowing her to see all four of them inside.

"Did you guys eat yet?" Xia Yue walked in, found a spot to sit down, and asked.

"No, it doesn’t matter if we skip a meal," Xia Xi shook her head.

"Do you want to eat something?" Xia Yue offered.

"Let’s have some snacks. We can eat and talk at the same time," Wei Se suggested.

"Wei Se’s idea is good," Xia Xi nodded, as they were idle anyway.

Xia Yue took out several different snacks from the Space. If the table hadn’t been too small, she would have brought out more.

"This afternoon a little elf visited my cabin and gave me several fruits; they were quite tasty. Try them," Xia Yue said, taking out the fruits from Yali, then took some water and a napkin, wiped the fruits, and handed them around.

"Delicious, but they’re too small," Wei Se finished his in two bites and nodded in approval.

"Indeed, it’s not bad, kind of like watermelon. Makes for a nice snack," Xia Xi agreed.

"What kind of fruit is this? We could buy more and take some back to let others taste," Yan Mo also found the flavor appealing.

"They’re called Elf Fruits, and each elf grows them differently," Xia Yue said.

"That’s amazing," Xia Xi exclaimed with surprise.

"I think so too. Let’s find him tomorrow and buy some from him, though I’m not sure if he’ll accept Gold Coins," Xia Yue said.
