Chapter 775 (1/2)
As the five women expressed their dreams of having a parallel realm, their eyes unknowingly fell onto Zhou Weiqing. Yet, that certain somebody kept pushing with the topic with his own ideals, “Creating a parallel realm of our own is pretty good. With just our family in it, we could live primitive lives. For instance, we could all be nude, use the sky as a blanket and the ground as our bed. Nobody would see us anyway. Let’s all sleep together under one blanket. This is my dream!”
After listening to his words, all five of them had different expressions on their faces. Speechless, Tian’er said, “I can’t imagine how shameless some people can be!”
Shangguan Bing’er, on the other hand, was so embarrassed that she could not even utter a word. Little Witch was chuckling with her hand over her mouth by the side, while Shangguan Xue’er, at the other side, glared at Zhou Weiqing fiercely.
In the end, it was Shangguan Fei’er who came up with a conclusion. After exchanging looks with the other four girls, she looked at Zhou Weiqing with a smile before saying, “Get him!”
Just like that, the five women instantly turned into feline predators and leaped towards a certain somebody.
That somebody’s response was extremely simple. With his hands clasped above his head, he crouched down and balled up his body, showing a look of resignation as he shouted, “Don’t hit my handsome face!”
Perhaps the powerful strength that Zhou Weiqing displayed was too surprising, as even Shangguan Xue’er who was initially very worried had now felt at ease. No matter what, with Zhou Weiqing and their cultivation bases, even if they weren’t able to get their hands on the Elven Queen’s blood, they could at least still flee from the scene without complications. On top of that, Zhou Weiqing had agreed that he would not hurt any of the Elf Tribe’s clansmen at all.
As the six of them were laughing and having fun, a clear loud voice suddenly resonated in the air.
“Who are you guys? Why haven’t I seen you guys before?”
Upon hearing this voice, the six of them were in a state of shock. It was because they did not notice the arrival of whose voice it belonged to.
Automatically, the six of them turned and looked towards the direction of the voice. On top of a big tree not far from them, sat a very clean-looking, fair little girl.
The little girl appeared to be very young, about six to seven years old. Her pink face was flushed and dewy, looking entirely succulent. A curious look could be seen in her bright huge eyes. Long powder-blue hair cascaded behind her shoulders, with two pointy little ears protruding out from her hair.
What struck them as most peculiar was the pair of transparent wings behind her back.
Seeing her, let alone Zhou Weiqing’s five women, even Zhou Weiqing himself had the urge to go up to her for a hug and a kiss. This little girl was simply just too cute.
“Is this an Elf?” Zhou Weiqing whispered as he asked Shangguan Xue’er.
The coldness on Xue’er’s face had already vanished without a trace. Right now, she was looking at the little girl with extreme gentleness in her eyes. Gently nodding her head, she replied, “The Elves are actually very kind. They’re beautiful and they have a long lifespan too. She may look very young but she is most likely much older than us all. An Elf would only reach their adulthood when they hit 100 years old, which is equivalent to our 18 years of human age.”
Seeing an Elf for the first time, not to mention such a lovely one, made Zhou Weiqing much fonder toward this tribe even more. With a smile, he said to the little elf, “Hey little girl, we’re Elves too!”
With her head tilted, she stared at Zhou Weiqing, “You’re a liar! We Elves have wings! You don’t have any!”
Zhou Weiqing chuckled, “Who says that I don’t have any? I just hide them away. See?” As he spoke, he bent his body forward and at once, a huge pair of wings spread out behind him. It was the Dragon-Tiger Transformation’s wings.
The moment she saw the wings on his back, the little Elf gaped with her mouth wide, “Whoa! Your wings are so huge! And it’s even more beautiful than mine! What are those purple lines on them for?”
Zhou Weiqing took a few steps forward before quickly sitting on the tree branch in a flash. The little Elf was not afraid; she did not even flinch. Spreading his wings out in front of her, he said, “Go on, touch it.”
Curiously, the little Elf pinched his wings before turning her head again to look at his ears, “But you don’t have any pointy ears!”
Zhou Weiqing smiled again. He squeezed his ears and pulled up his ears at once, making them sharp and pointy in an instant. With his abilities, it was easy for him to make physical changes in his body.
The Elf stared blankly at him, “Ah, could it be that… Are you a mutated Elf? But, mummy told me there haven’t been any mutated Elves for many years now.”
Under the tree, Shangguan Fei’er had her arms over Tian’er’s shoulders as she whispered, “This bastard Little Fatty! Don’t tell me he’s trying to go for this little girl now instead!”
Tian’er burst out laughing in an instant, “I don’t think he’d be that nasty.”
The five girls laughed out loud at once. Right at this time, they heard Zhou Weiqing who was sitting on the tree telling the little Elf, “Little girl, you’re so beautiful! Will you marry my son later in the future? I’ll give you some candies!”
The little Elf’s eyes lit up at once, “Candies? Human’s candies? Oh yes, that’s great!”
The five girls who were still laughing at him were immediately horrified by the turn of events. The three Shangguan sisters and Little Witch could not help but had their glances land on Tian’er’s tummy immediately.
At a loss for expressing herself, Tian’er shouted out angrily at Zhou Weiqing who was still sitting on the tree, “You bastard! We don’t even know whether the baby is a boy or girl yet, alright? How can you get a girlfriend for him so fast? Do you want him to become like you in the future?”
Zhou Weiqing chuckled, “Well, this is what we mean by ‘repairing the house before it rains’. Isn’t it extremely normal for a father to find a wife for his son? It isn’t that hard for me to ‘work’ a little harder and get a few sons, is it?”
In truth, he really liked this little girl in front of him. This little girl gave him a feeling of being completely at one with nature. Not only that, there seemed to be not even an ounce of negativity in her emotions. She was indeed a very pure little girl. Adding on to the fact that she was already so beautiful at such a young age, he was sure that she would definitely grow up to become a gorgeous beauty in the future. As the saying goes, ‘it’s better to keep the goods within the family’. Wouldn’t it be better to keep this particular ‘goodie’ for his son instead?
Just as Zhou Weiqing was teasing the little girl with a delighted heart, all of a sudden, a strangely distorted halo appeared right above the little girl without warning.
Immediately afterward, with a ‘whoosh’, the little girl was sucked into the distorted light – just like that.
Everything happened in just a blink of an eye. Even Zhou Weiqing could not react in time as he had his guard down at that very moment.
When the distorted halo appeared just now, he actually thought that this was the energy ripple that was being emitted out of the little girl herself. By the time it started to unleash its Suction Energy, it was already too late for him to do anything about it. All he could do was to just attach part of his Divine Thought onto her as she left.
“What’s the matter?” The five girls below whose motherly instincts were triggered and were just about to come up to the tree to have a chat with the little girl were stunned as well. Zhou Weiqing, on the hand, who was still on top of the tree immediately had a gloomy look on his face.
The reason why he only had reacted now was because of the energy ripple earlier.
The Elf Tribe was very good in Natural Element magic, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, and Darkness. These were all the elements that they mastered. However, the distorted halo was clearly from the Time Attribute. How could there be a Time Attribute energy in the Elven territory? On top of that, it had actually kidnapped the little girl. At the last moment when the little girl was being taken away, Zhou Weiqing could clearly see the look of horror on her face.
Leaping down from the tree at once, he had a terribly horrified look on his face. After all, a person had just been kidnapped right in front of his watch. How could he not feel frustrated at all? Besides, he really did not wish for any danger to befall the girl at all.
Just as Zhou Weiqing was about to unleash his own power and search for the piece of his Divine Thought, the whole realm suddenly resonated with a crisp, loud sound of bell chimes.
The silver bell-like chiming sound was very pleasant to the ears. However, at this moment, all of them could clearly feel that in this infinite realm, a violent natural element energy ripple suddenly erupted without warning. In the distance and in the vicinity, several hundreds of shadows rose to the sky at once. And, they only had one goal in mind: Zhou Weiqing and the gang.
“W-What has just happened?” Xue’er stared at Zhou Weiqing in shock.
Zhou Weiqing replied, “The little girl was kidnapped by a Time Attribute energy and it seems like the Elf Tribe had been alarmed now. Hold your horses, guys! Don’t just fight back even if they appear to be hostile to us. Let’s try to communicate with them first.”
Just as they were talking, hundreds of figures had descended from the sky while some of them still remained hovering in the air. The six of them were completely surrounded with no way of escape now.
All these people were Elves. It was apparent that these Elves had a much larger body compared to that little Elf. Although they had a slightly smaller build compared to human beings, each of them was extremely good looking. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. Unfortunately, right now, they were all completely filled with wrath. They looked like they could not wait to get their hands on Zhou Weiqing and his company to shred them alive.
A male Elf who appeared to be much older glared at Zhou Weiqing and the girls with fury as he bawled, “Despicable intruders! Hand Her Royal Highness Princess over now!”
“Her Royal Highness Princess?” The moment they heard of such a title, the six of them immediately thought of the little girl that they had just met before. At once, horror dawned on their faces. They really meant no malice during this trip of theirs. It had never crossed their minds that the cute little girl just now was actually the Elven Princess. What upset them was the fact that they were now made into a scapegoat of the kidnapper who took the princess away.
“We did not kidnap the Elven Princess. All six of us are here right before you. If it’s really us who took her away, would we still be waiting for you to apprehend us right here?” Zhou Weiqing tried his best to talk to them in a calmer tone.
The male Elf fumed, “You intruders invaded our territory. So what good intentions could you possibly have coming here? Grab them all!”
Just as he finished his sentence, the several hundred Elves who were surrounding them immediately began to launch their attacks.
Distinctly, multiple colors that represented the Natural Elements soared up into the air at once. The energy elements of nature instantly filled the entire atmosphere. From far, one could see a gigantic balloon-like halo forming right there. And now, Zhou Weiqing and the five girls were right in the middle of the colorful light orb.
A powerful aura rose up at once, suppressing the six of them to the point that they started to feel difficulty in breathing.
When the Elves had just arrived just now, Zhou Weiqing already did a quick scan on their cultivation bases and found that none of them had cultivation base of a Heavenly King Tier and above. Yet, the strength that had erupted when these Elves joined forces turned out to be surprisingly powerful. Even a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse’s aura might not necessarily be stronger than theirs.
They even went as far as to unite each of their attributes through the force of nature. Even if they were all of different attributes, they could still work seamlessly with each other. Perhaps it was only the Elf Tribe that could do such thing. Not only that, Zhou Weiqing could vaguely feel that this must have something to do with the Sealed Land of theirs. Over here, all Natural Elements were magnified and enhanced. The Elves themselves seemed to be part of the Natural Element, thus allowing them to be more powerful when they control the Natural Element.
As instructed by Zhou Weiqing before, the five girls did not attack but remained quietly beside him. Though the suppressing force was tremendous, it was still not much of a threat to all of them who possessed the Saint Energy.
The male Elf who gave the order just now was also taken aback by the sight. He was very clear of the strength of the pressure that his other Elves had released. At first, he thought that these young humans would instantly lose their resistance in the face of such a strong suppressing force. Yet, to his surprise, they did not seem to react to this at all. Were they really this powerful?
Zhou Weiqing said in a grave voice, “Elven friends, please don’t attack us. How about this? We’ll follow you to meet the Elven Chief and explain the situation to you. It was true that we did come across Her Royal Highness Princess, but she seems to be taken away by some special Time attribute energy. You can’t do anything to us but I’m still willing to go back with you. What do you think?”
Of course, the reason why he explained so patiently was not because he was afraid of these Elves. Instead, he just did not want the kidnapper to get away so easily. On top of that, he also wanted to rescue the Elven Princess as soon as possible. Putting all other factors aside, based on his fondness towards the little girl alone, he really had to rescue her.
The male Elf who was also the leader shouted in fury, “Let us seal your cultivation base first then!”
A cold glimpse flashed across Zhou Weiqing’s eyes as he asked nonchalantly, “Do you really think that I’m afraid of you?”
As he spoke, a pure solid gold Nebula Saint Energy instantly erupted from his body, forming a solid gold light orb inside a gigantic colorful light orb. At the same time, the golden light orb emitted a dazzling brilliance. The Elves who surrounded Zhou Weiqing could all feel the Natural Elements in the air and instantly rushed toward the golden orb frenziedly. The Natural Elements that seemed to be a part of their body had instantly abandoned them.
