559 Don’t Do Anything Stupid

The next day, Huanhuan and Murphy set off at dawn.

Archie and Mark walked them out of Swan Valley and watched them go.

At the same time, out at the distant sea, a huge black dragon was flying. On his back sat three men.

These three men were none other than Bai Di, Xue Ling, and Shuang Yun.

The three of them chatted while playing poker cards.

Xue Ling sent out a pair of threes and asked casually, “How long has it been since we started flying? Why haven’t we reached the dawn continent?”

It was Shuang Yun’s turn next.

Shuang Yun quickly played one against four and finally threw four cards out. At the same time, he said, “It’ll probably take another month.”

They had been flying for almost three months.

During this period, the black dragon and Xue Ling would take turns flying. They would fly for three days each.

Yesterday, Xue Ling transformed into a condor to carry everyone. Today, it was the black dragon’s turn.

Bai Di said, “I’ve written to Huanhuan to tell her we’re almost there.”

Shuang Yun chuckled. “She’ll be looking forward to it!”

“She hasn’t replied. I wonder if she hasn’t seen the letter I wrote.” Bai Di played a pair of king’s cards and blew up Shuang Yun’s cards.

Shuang Yun shouted, “F*ck, I offered a one-on-four, but you actually offered king’s cards? You’re bullying me!”

Bai Di ignored him and handed over the remaining two cards.

He won this round.

Xue Ling threw away the cards in his hand. “How many rounds has it been?”

Shuang Yun scratched his head and thought back. “It’s the third round.”

Bai Di said as he shuffled the cards, “Yes, there are seven more rounds. I won one round, Xue Ling won two. Shuang Yun, you haven’t won a single round.”

According to the rules they had set, there were a total of 10 rounds. Whoever won the most out of the three would be able to sleep with Huanhuan on the first night.

The fourth round began.

Shuang Yun clenched the cards in his hand and shouted excitedly, “I’ll definitely win this time! Don’t s.n.a.t.c.h the chance from me!”

Xue Ling looked at the cards in his hand and said lazily, “I’m gonna win.”

Bai Di smiled. “No, I’m certain I’ll win.”

Shuang Yun: “…”

These two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!

…

At this moment, Huanhuan had no idea that she had become someone’s bet.

She and Murphy were on their way to Elven G.o.d Mountain.

They were alone along the way. Although Murphy had been very steady and didn’t mention what had happened after he was injured that night, his gaze would still often drift to Huanhuan’s fingers.

Her fingers were not especially slender, but each nail was round and cute. Her fingers were soft, just like the feeling she gave off.

Involuntarily, he remembered the night he bit her fingertips.

Her expression at that time was really very cute.

It made him want to do it again…

Huanhuan squatted by the river to wash the fruits. She noticed Murphy’s gaze and looked up. “What’s wrong?”

Murphy looked away calmly. “Let’s rest here tonight.”

Huanhuan nodded. “Sure, we’ll go along with your plans.”

They lit a fire. The flames were especially dazzling in the night.

Huanhuan spread thick hay on the ground and prepared an animal hide blanket. It felt especially soft and comfortable to lie on.

She had planted a lot of Moonlight Mushrooms around the area. With the mushrooms standing guard, Murphy didn’t need to keep watch, but he didn’t sleep with Huanhuan—even though there was still a lot of s.p.a.ce beside her.

He jumped onto the tree and leaned his back against the trunk. He bent one leg and hugged his bow. He was prepared to spend the night like this.

Huanhuan fell asleep quickly.

Murphy looked down, his gaze on her face.

Her fair face glowed in the night, making it difficult for him to look away.

Lance suddenly appeared and sneered. “Stop looking. She already has a husband and children. Even if you glue your eyes to her, she won’t belong to you.”

Murphy pushed him away and frowned. “Lower your voice. Don’t wake her up.”

“Tsk, look at you.”

…

A black vine crawled out of the depths of the night. It touched Huanhuan’s fingertips, then wrapped itself around her wrist. It climbed up her arm and continued to wrap itself around her neck.

Huanhuan woke up.

She opened her eyes and saw the Soul-Devouring Vine so close to her. Her face was blank. “Why are you here again?”

The Soul-Devouring Vine nuzzled her cheek, then leaned close to her ear.

The surface of the vines was barbed, making Huanhuan’s ears uncomfortable. She whispered, “Be gentle. It hurts.”

The Soul-Devouring Vine obediently let go a little.

Huanhuan looked up and found that Murphy was sitting on a tree trunk and asleep. He did not notice the approach of the Soul-Devouring Vine, and neither did the Moonlight Mushrooms not far away. They did not notice the Soul-Devouring Vine at all.

She was especially sleepy now. She yawned, then closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep again.

When she woke up the next morning, Huanhuan realized that the Soul-Devouring Vine was still there.

He had wrapped his arms around her neck and refused to let go.

Huanhuan didn’t dare say anything to provoke him. Afraid that he would flare up again and wrap his vines tighter around her.

Even if she wasn’t strangled, the barbs on the vines’ surface hurt.

Huanhuan could only let him pester her.

She went to the river to wash her face and accidentally splashed the Soul-Devouring Vine. He immediately trembled.

When Huanhuan realized this, she found it quite fun and poured some water on him.

The Soul-Devouring Vine twisted his body and rubbed the water droplets against her. Then, he poked the tip of her nose with the tip of his vine as if to say, ‘stop it.’

Murphy realized that there was something dark wrapped around Huanhuan’s neck. At first glance, it looked like a snake. When he approached and took a closer look, he realized that they were vines.

He asked, “Where did you get these vines? Why have I never seen such vines?”

Huanhuan thought to herself, ‘This is a demon king who crawled out of the abyss. Of course, you’ve never seen him!’

She spouted nonsense seriously. “I picked these vines up by the road last night. I thought they looked good, so I brought them with me.”

“Do they look good?” Murphy studied the black vine. “I find them especially ugly.”

Huanhuan: “…”

‘Brother, just think about it in your heart. Don’t say it aloud!’

The Soul-Devouring Vine moved. He seemed to be preparing to teach this elf who dared to say that he was ugly a lesson.

He would teach him a lesson that would never be forgotten.

Huanhuan quickly pressed down on the Soul-Devouring Vine and touched him. “Don’t do anything rash.”

The Soul-Devouring Vine quickly calmed down after being appeased. He temporarily gave up on attacking the elf and rubbed against her cheek.

After breakfast, Huanhuan put on her veiled hat and continued on her way with Murphy.

After walking for about half a day, the Soul-Devouring Vine disappeared again.

However, Huanhuan was not completely relieved.

Because she knew very well what would happen next.

Even if that guy left now, he would come back sooner or later.

After traveling for almost a month, they finally arrived at the Misty Forest.

At the same time, the black dragon and Xue Ling completed their last s.h.i.+ft and successfully arrived at the edge of the dawn continent.
