Chapter 1128: Chapter 1121: Fulajie’er’s Decision

"So," Luo’er looked around and couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine, "has there been an elusive goddess always following me, secretly observing me?"

"Is there a problem with that? Fulajie’er has also been following you just like that, and I haven’t seen you feeling uncomfortable about it," Xia Yue asked with a smile.

"This is different..." Luo’er said seriously, "Fulajie’er and I communicate in our daily lives, I am very willing to have her by my side. For me, her presence is not about surveillance, but protection, so I consciously feel warmed by her presence."

"You really have a way with words," Xia Yue smiled with narrowed eyes, coughed once, and then continued, "But hasn’t Tana also been watching you all this time? Since you went to the Snow Domain, she has been silently monitoring you, if you feel uncomfortable with her surveillance, how did you manage to get through these days?"

Faced with Xia Yue’s questioning, Luo’er had nothing to say. He shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "I got used to it..."

"Hehe." Hearing Luo’er’s words, Xia Yue chuckled, shook her head, turned around, and left without saying anything further.

"Then, how should I get in touch with her?" Luo’er asked, looking at her retreating figure.

"Before asking how to get in touch with her, you should ask yourself if you really want to make contact with her," Xia Yue said, then turned and walked away.

As Luo’er watched Xia Yue’s departing figure, he breathed a sigh of relief, shaking his head in an attempt to clear his thoughts. At that moment, he saw a gentle glow suddenly appear in the dark sky, followed by Fulajie’er’s figure in mid-air.

"Luo’er, I have been thinking for a long time recently..." Fulajie’er took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind.

"What do you plan to do?" Luo’er looked at her, asking hesitantly.

"If, I mean if, I want to stay by your side, would that be possible?" Fulajie’er asked, her head down, spinning around in place.

"This..." Luo’er was momentarily at a loss as he couldn’t grasp her attitude, so he dared not assert anything.

"In... my current form..." Fulajie’er said hesitantly.

"No, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don’t you want to be resurrected?" Luo’er asked, widening his eyes.

"I want to, I want to become human again, I want to touch you for the first time, to be embraced by you, to feel your warmth. But, but I know that you don’t belong to me. More than a brief possession, I care about everlasting. Until... until I am resurrected, I probably won’t have the chance to stay by your side..." Fulajie’er didn’t even dare to look straight into Luo’er’s eyes as she spoke.

"Right now... in my current state, at least I can help you all, at least I have a reason to stay with the Advance Team. If I turned into a defenseless little girl, you’d probably send me back to my sister in the name of protecting me, right?" Fulajie’er asked.

"This..." Luo’er was at a loss for words, because Fulajie’er had already grasped his intentions perfectly clear.

If Fulajie’er were to be resurrected, Luo’er, who didn’t believe he could protect her, would definitely throw her into the garrison, just as he had treated Feng. It must be said, although Luo’er cared a lot about everyone, he had made a mistake, setting a bad precedent.

From now on, anyone who wants to stay with the Advance Team must prove their value, even the veteran members of the Advance Team.

Luo’er’s actions, while ostensibly meant to prevent harm to the weak, actually revealed before everyone his mistaken approach of asserting the team’s combat effectiveness by deliberately shunning the old and frail.

At this point, Luo’er finally understood what it meant to commit evil under the guise of kindness, and to do wrong with good intentions. Just like Tana, on the surface, she seemed to be maintaining the survival of the Elf Race, but in reality, because of her, the Elf Race had dwindled over thousands of years.

Taking a deep breath, Luo’er nodded with some resignation, then said earnestly, "I respect your choice, if you don’t want to be resurrected, then so be it. Also, my actions were indeed improper, I shouldn’t eliminate the weak under the pretext of protection, this is unfair to everyone."

"Really?" Fulajie’er’s eyes widened as she looked at him, almost bursting into tears with excitement.

"I only want you to stop feeling sad about your original self, or your sister’s death. It wasn’t your fault, and there is no need for you to take responsibility. What’s most important is to live on for her in another form, and not to let Sister Nightingale’s kindness go to waste. She only has you as her kin," Luo’er said.

"I know, I know, thank you, thank you, Luo’er," Fulajie’er attempted to hug Luo’er’s neck but couldn’t reach him, so she merely held the pose symbolically.

"Life is always full of regrets. As long as you make the decision you think is right, don’t worry too much about gains and losses," Luo’er comforted her.

"Yes, I understand. Staying by your side is the right decision for me," Fulajie’er said, adding silently to herself, "At least for now..."

"Also, about your resurrection, why not tell your sister? She has been running around for your sake. Just give her this hope, and let her hear your choice, so she doesn’t waste her precious youth on you. It’s time for your sister to pursue her own happiness," Luo’er continued after a moment of contemplation.

"I’ll consider it. My sister really has put in a lot of effort because of me and neglected her own life," Fulajie’er said, then suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Luo’er, "Luo’er, that guy named Li... what’s his name, does he like my sister?"

"Ah, how would I know that?" Luo’er blinked and responded.

"No, you know. Don’t lie to me. I heard everything you said," Fulajie’er pulled back and stared at him.

"We were speaking in Chinese; you understood us?" Luo’er asked with some surprise.

"How do you know I don’t understand a single sentence of Chinese?" Fulajie’er asked, tilting her head.

"Err..." Luo’er scratched his cheek awkwardly and looked away as he spoke, "You should ask him yourself. He might be interested in your sister, but remember, a forced melon isn’t sweet. What if your sister doesn’t like him..."

"I knew there was something off about him; I was right..." Fulajie’er pouted and made a humming sound.

"Speaking of which," Luo’er adjusted his expression and looked at Fulajie’er, "are you able to sense Tana after all?

"No, I’m only a demigod," Fulajie’er said; then her brows furrowed as she glared at Luo’er, "Why do you ask?"

"I just found it strange and wanted to ask." Luo’er said, somewhat ill at ease.

"Luo’er, let me make it clear, as a god in this form, you can only have me, not any others, not even Tana," Fulajie’er stated seriously, clarifying her position.

"What are you talking about? I was just asking. Don’t make it sound like I’m trying to add Tana to a harem," Luo’er said with a mixture of laughter and tears.

"So you’ve already regarded us as a harem?" Fulajie’er asked with narrowed eyes, speaking softly.

"Err, no, that’s not it. Listen to me explain..." Luo’er felt a chill running down his spine and his scalp itch as he tried to say something but felt his throat dry and couldn’t finish the sentence.

"Hmph hmph hmph!!" Fulajie’er let out three ambiguous hums and then vanished on the spot, no longer appearing no matter how Luo’er called for her.

"Ah, this is really giving me a headache..." Luo’er muttered and walked towards his room.

The group stayed in Divine Wood Down for about five days before the long-awaited Airboat finally arrived. During this time, the Queen of Ilanadale, Luo’er’s grandmother Lillith, had not come to visit the Advance Team, seeming to avoid them intentionally.

Perhaps because Nina now knew the truth, her behavior towards Luo’er became more uninhibited. Even though she was a Princess of Ilanadale and Luo’er’s mother needed to avoid impropriety in Divine Wood Down, she had, in fact, become more direct in the past.

Now, Nina incessantly displayed her affection for Luo’er in public, completely disregarding the feelings and perceptions of the other Elves of Divine Wood Down. It was clear that she intended to force Ilanadale to recognize Luo’er’s identity.
