The moment the blood touched the seed, a thin crack suddenly appeared on the seed, and tender green sprouts grew from it.
The green leaves grew visibly.
Huanhuan got up and took a step back. She watched with wide eyes as it grew to the height of a person in just a few minutes.
The pale golden leaves fluttered in the wind. The branches were young and slender, making the sapling look very cute.
Huanhuan couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the leaves.
The sapling swayed and called out in a childish voice, "Mom~"
Huanhuan: "..."
Did she hear wrongly just now? This little sapling in front of her actually called her Mom?!
Little Brat smiled gloatingly. "Congratulations on having another son."
The Tree of Life could only be heard by Huanhuan, so Xue Ling did not react. The lotus remained quietly on Huanhuan's head. If it knew that a small sapling was going to snatch its mother from it, it would've immediately exploded its petals and rushed forward to fight it.
Huanhuan coughed lightly and leaned over to say to the sapling, "I'm not your mother. You've got the wrong person."
The sapling shook its leaves in confusion. "You woke me up. If you're not my mother, who is?"
"I don't know who your mother is, but that person definitely isn't me. As a human, I can't give birth to a tree."
Perhaps the little sapling also felt that it looked too different from its 'mother' in front of it. It thought for a moment and quickly accepted the other party's explanation. It said in a childish voice, "Thank you for waking me up."
Huanhuan touched its branch. "You're welcome."
After the Tree of Life grew back, Elven God Mountain immediately regained its former vitality. A faint aura of life wandered around the mountain. Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and the black dragon could not sense the change, but the elves who lived in the mountain all year round immediately sensed it.
The elves rushed to the top of the mountain to spread the news.
When they saw the seedling of the Tree of Life, they were so excited that tears fell.
"The Tree of Life is back! It didn't leave us behind!"
For a moment, while the entire elf tribe was overjoyed, the entire Elven God Mountain returned to its former glory... No, it was even more vigorous than before.
While the elves were celebrating, Huanhuan said to Xue Ling, "Let's go back."
Xue Ling lowered his head and kissed her. "Alright."
The elves were immersed in the joy of the Tree of Life coming back to life and did not notice Xue Ling and Huanhuan's departure. They did not even know why the Tree of Life could come back to life.
Huanhuan was carried down the mountain, but they did not return to her residence. Instead, Xue Ling flew to a big tree.
Huanhuan was puzzled. "Why did you bring me here?"
"I brought you here to see something."
"What?"
Xue Ling pushed aside the leaves in front of him, revealing the bird's nest on the branch and many bird eggs in it.
Huanhuan leaned over to take a look and asked curiously, "What bird laid these eggs?"
"Five-flowered bird."
Huanhuan had never heard of such a bird.
Xue Ling carried her to the bird's nest and sat down. He wrapped one arm around her waist and hooked her hair with the other. He lowered his head and kissed her. "The Five-flowered bird is unique to the dawn continent. They reproduce very well. They lay eggs almost every day, and they lay a lot of eggs each time."
Huanhuan was very excited. "Then can we bring these eggs back?"
"Bring them back for what? Do you know how to have them hatch?"
"I don't know how to incubate eggs, but I can get Bai Di to make custard or egg rolls. If there's enough time, we can make chicken patties!" Huanhuan drooled.
Xue Ling pinched her waist and whispered in her ear, "I didn't bring you here for food!"
Huanhuan felt ticklish from his grip. She couldn't help but twist her body and mutter, "Then why did you bring me here?"
"I brought you here to show you that these stupid birds can lay eggs every day, but I've yet to have an egg!" he said through gritted teeth. His voice sounded a little aggrieved.
Huanhuan grabbed an egg from the bird's nest and placed it in Xue Ling's hand.
"It's just a bird egg. Take it. You can have it."
Xue Ling: "..."
With a little force, he crushed the bird egg.
The egg liquid flowed down his fingertips.
Huanhuan hunched her shoulders involuntarily. She felt like an egg that could be crushed at any moment.
Xue Ling licked the egg off his fingers, his movements calm and elegant.
He lowered his head and bit her neck. "Don't try to fool me," he said hatefully. "You know I don't want this egg. I want you to lay an egg for me!"
Huanhuan was firmly in his arms. She couldn't avoid him even if she wanted to. She could only brace herself and say, "I'm not a bird. I can't lay eggs."
"What about our child? You promised to give birth to my child."
The two of them were very close. Huanhuan immediately felt the changes in his body. He looked ready to attack. It was quite scary.
Embarrassed, she whispered, "Even if we want to have a child, we have to wait until we get home. This isn't the right place."
"It'll take at least three months to travel from here to the beast continent. I can't wait."
"But..."
Before Huanhuan could finish, Xue Ling lowered his head and kissed her hard on the lips. His hands quickly unbuttoned her clothes.
Huanhuan was out of breath from the kiss, and her face was red.
Xue Ling deliberately rubbed the little white flower on her stomach again.
Huanhuan felt that she was about to go crazy from this guy.
She might as well give up. "If you want to, then fine!"
It was just a matter of having another child! It wasn't like she hadn't given birth before!
Why would she be afraid?!
Xue Ling lowered his head and approached her. His long golden hair fell and brushed against her cheek. His sharp thin lips curled into a charming smile. "Do you want a son or a daughter?"
As he spoke, he pinched the little white flower and fiddled with the stamen with his fingertips.
Best
Huanhuan panted heavily, thinking that this guy was really playing her to death!
Seeing that her eyes were about to turn red from anxiety, Xue Ling slowly kissed her lips. "Don't be anxious. It's still early before the sun sets. We can play slowly."
Huanhuan was about to cry.
She didn't want to play with this demon at all!
Xue Ling admired the way she trembled in his arms. He lowered his head and licked the tears from her eyes. His voice was low and charming. "Did Bai Di touch your little flower when he mated with you yesterday?"
Huanhuan grabbed his collar and shook her head vigorously. "No! Hurry up and get it over with. Stop torturing me."
The more anxious she was, the slower Xue Ling moved.
He slowly left marks on her, forcing her to lose control.
He wanted her to only be able to look at him and think about him.
