I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

The birds are singing tactfully outside the window, and the fresh aroma of plants and trees is sent into the elegant and warm room by the cool morning breeze, dispelling the last trace of haze.

Looking at Esfar's version of Cuicui who was soundly asleep, Pei Xiang sighed softly, then laughed and shook his head.Although the result was far from what she had expected, she was still full of joy and gratitude at this time.

Pei Xiang tentatively stretched out his fingers, and gently touched Asfar's black hair, and found that the sleeping Sea Clan Lord had no defense against her, and was still sleeping peacefully.So, she simply stepped up her movements, directly grabbed the little person lying on the quilt, and then held it flat on the palm of her hand.

This time, Esfar finally had some reaction, his slender and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and his closed eyes seemed to have a tendency to open.Seeing this, Pei Xiang quickly released a bit of sword energy to reassure the Hai Clan Lord who was sleeping soundly due to exhaustion.

Surrounded by the familiar sword energy, Esfar's breathing rhythm became gentle and long again. He lay on his side with his expression calm and peaceful. Overall, he was only the size of a palm, and looked delicate and delicate.

Putting Asfar on a flat place next to the pillow, and covering him with a handkerchief, Pei Xiang lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and stood firmly on the soft carpet with bare feet .

She closed her eyes slightly, and slowly removed the internal force wrapped around her feet.

After a while, Pei Xiang, who was "down to earth" again, showed a big smile.

She stomped her feet gently on the carpet, and then walked forward. With every step, the skin on the soles of her feet was in close contact with the fluff on the carpet.The thick and soft comfortable touch told Pei Xiang that the curse of the potion on her body had indeed disappeared.

After this sudden life-and-death struggle, now she can not only speak, but also walk freely on the ground like ordinary humans, without the pain of stepping on a sharp knife with every step.

——It was as if what he had taken back then was a holy medicine that could turn fish tails into legs without any side effects.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Xiang sat down on the floor with ease, and began to thoroughly check his physical condition through meditation...

The sky was bright, and the sun shone warmly into the room. Pei Xiang was still absorbing and digesting the original magic power left in her body by Asfar. She didn't open her eyes again until some rustling movements came from the direction of the bed.

Then, her gaze immediately fell into a pair of clear and light black pupils—a miniature version.

"You're awake, Asfar, how are you feeling?"

The head of the Sea Clan with a serious bun face pushed away the handkerchief on his body, pressed down the raised hair on the top of his head, and then sat upright and explained solemnly:

"It's okay. Because I didn't plan to become an elf for a long time before, when I built the body, I didn't reserve enough magic power. Amy, I will need more sleep in the near future to cultivate and adjust my breath until the body is fully formed. The situation has completely stabilized."

Pei Xiang nodded in understanding.

She could feel that the contract between her and Cui Cui was still there, and it was stronger and clearer than before, so she asked curiously:

"Esfar, what is your relationship with Cui Cui now?"

Esfar pursed his lips, opened his mouth to answer, and then fell silent abruptly.

"It's hard to say?" Pei Xiang tilted his head, a little puzzled.

"No," Asfar shook his head, his flat tone concealed entanglement, and he secretly regretted that when Pei Xiang named the magic seed, he didn't stop him, "I am now... the fruit of this magic seed. Elf."

Pei Xiang felt Esfar's dislike of the lovely name "Cui Cui" from the place where the contract was connected, and couldn't help but bend his eyes, pretending to suddenly say:

"Oh, so that's it, that is to say...you are Cui Cui. Cui Cui, I'm so glad to meet you. I thought you couldn't grow out smoothly, but now I see that you are as delicate and lovely as I imagined. "

Esfar tried his best to make a calm expression, and seriously corrected:

"It's an elf, but not Cui Cui. The previous magic seed has lost most of its vitality due to improper preservation and too long a time. It is destined not to grow a wise elf, and even a complete The body of the little elf cannot be constructed. It is only after my magic power and consciousness are infused into it that it can continue to complete the interrupted mission of growth. Therefore, I am now... not the original Cui Cui."

Pei Xiang shook his head with a smile, disapproving of Asfar's explanation, and retorted gently:

"No, my friend, as long as it is my contract elf, he is called Cui Cui. You see, the magic contract between us is firm and clear, and the law of explanation also recognizes that you are Cui Cui, even if your spirit Wisdom is not born from magical seeds."

"The reason why the law of contract thinks I am... Cui Cui is because I concealed my original aura."

"Since you need to cover up your whereabouts, let's temporarily change the name. This should be more conducive to hiding, right? Hey, dear Esfar, when I named the elf before, you didn't object. It can be seen that you don't mind I hate the name 'Cui Cui'. By the way, you also said that 'Xiao Hong' was not bad."

Esfar glanced at the little pride in Pei Xiang's eyebrows lightly, and didn't continue to argue with her, but showed a tired and weak expression at the right time.

Pei Xiang smiled.

Seeing this, Esfar silently looked at Pei Xiang with a pair of dark and quiet eyes, helpless and tolerant.

Therefore, Pei Xiang suddenly felt a little guilty in his conscience, as if... he was the chief culprit that caused Asfar to become an elf.

She thought about it seriously, and tentatively discussed:

"The name Esfar is too easy for people to think of the Great Demon King. How about we call you by your original name in private, and when there are outsiders, you can still be called Cui Cui, is that okay?"

"outsider?"

"Yes, you are my contracted elf, you can't hide from others all the time, can you? I have to introduce you to other people. For example, when I went downstairs to eat later, I was very reluctant to say to Prince Arthur, you Asfar. Well, and others in Burleigh, I always feel that would invite unnecessary inquiry and speculation."

I don't know which point touched the Lord of the Sea Clan.In short, after listening to Pei Xiang's far-fetched reasons, Esfar, who has always been disgusted with the earthy and cute name "Cui Cui", finally loosened up, and finally reluctantly acquiesced in being called "Cui Cui".

Pei Xiang immediately frowned, and wanted to ask other questions, but was interrupted.

The sound of maids walking and carrying water came from the corridor outside the door, indicating that it was time for Pei Xiang to get up every day.

In order to prevent the maids from hurting the little Esfar when they made the bed, Pei Xiang quickly got up and held him in his hands, and then emptied out a jewelry box lined with red velvet on the dressing table for him to sit on. inside.Afterwards, she picked off some thick, large petals to use as makeshift cushions for him.

"Esfar, do you want to take a shower?"

The master of the sea clan who was being carried around said "hmm" expressionlessly, trying his best to ignore the discomfort of being held in the palm of the girl.

Those faint scents, the warm contact between the skins, as well as the gentle care and careful care, all made him feel very strange.

Pei Xiang also noticed Esfar's slight stiffness occasionally, but at this time, she had no intention of joking or teasing him at all, instead her heart was soft and sour.

Because she knew how strange this powerless situation was to the always strong Asfar.He didn't need to put himself in such an embarrassing predicament originally, it was all because he wanted to help her.

After the maid entered the door, Pei Xiang still remembered the "Princess Lilia who made clothes silently" character design for herself, so she still didn't speak aloud, but told the maid in words to go to the next room to fetch a few large shell.

After taking the shells, Pei Xiang poured some clean water into them, which was just right for Asfar to wash.

Because of her actions, the maid also noticed the extra elves in the room. She first exclaimed, and then looked at Esfar who was standing by the shell pool washing his face and hands with affection, and almost forgot her own job Work.

Esfar wiped off the drops of water on his face with Pei Xiang's shredded handkerchief, and looked indifferently at the strange human who made a fuss, and then urged Pei Xiang to put him on her shoulders through a contract.

"Since you can't speak freely now, let me speak for you temporarily." The master of the sea clan took over the task that originally belonged to the elf without any obstacles in his heart.

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

She originally thought that because of Asfar's indifferent personality and his dislike for land creatures, this plan to replace communication would be invalidated, but unexpectedly, he did not reject it.

After sitting firmly on Pei Xiang's shoulder, Esfar told the maid who was still looking at him curiously:

"It's time for Her Royal Highness Princess Lilia to wash up. After that, you bring someone to bring breakfast in. We won't go downstairs for dinner today. By the way, if His Royal Highness Prince Arthur asks, just say that Her Royal Highness Princess Lilia likes to be alone. No customers."

When the maid heard Asfar's words, she didn't agree immediately, but quietly glanced at Pei Xiang, asking for instructions silently.Pei Xiang smiled sweetly, and nodded to indicate that what the elf meant was what she meant.

After breakfast, Pei Xiang asked about his current status in detail while studying how to buy clothes and daily necessities for Asfar.

"In about three days, I will be able to use some small magic," Esfar said unhurriedly while sitting on a stack of books, "At that time, you don't have to always worry about someone accidentally stepping on it." Me or hurt me. Amy, I can fly in mid-air and use some offensive and defensive magic."

Pei Xiang picked out a small piece of dark blue silk from the rag basket, and was going to sew a little nightgown for Esfar.

"Then how long will it take you to gather enough magic power to return to the abyss?"

After pondering for a moment, Esfar replied uncertainly:

"If there is no unexpected large consumption of mana in the middle, it will be about a year."

"Then what about this body?" Pei Xiang secretly hoped that after Esfar returned, there would be a new Cuicui.

Lord Demon King glanced at the various daily necessities that Pei Xiang had prepared for him, swallowed his original plan to decompose and absorb this body, and said slowly:

"At that time, I can keep this body and let 'him' enter a state of deep sleep. If I need to leave the abyss again in the future, I can directly use the body of this elf."

Pei Xiang raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Asfar to plan to come to the mainland again, because the master of the sea clan is known to hate the land environment and land creatures.

However, when she thought about it again, she didn't think it was strange.Because he has been forced to stay in the abyss for 1000 years, and he will continue to stay there for a long time after that, even if he has a quiet and quiet personality, he probably wants to come out to get some fresh air.

Thinking of this, Pei Xiang asked naturally:

"Esfar, are you accumulating strength in the abyss? When you come out, is it when you declare war with the enemy?"

"more or less……"

In order to prevent Pei Xiang from embroidering goose-yellow ducklings on his new nightgown, Esfar decided to divert her attention with his own story.

"Amy, I sealed my body in the abyss mainly to use the devilish energy of the abyss to swallow up a foreign force in my original magic power. On the bottom of the sea, only the devilish energy from hell can be the most destructive and destructive Sexuality, but also a rare new strength—if only it can be devoured completely."

Pei Xiang frowned and thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly:

"Forgive me for taking the liberty to speculate, is the external force you mentioned the key to Heqiu's victory over you? If it is not cleared, what will happen?"

"It will turn me into a human without power, fully human."

When mentioning the past conspiracy, Asfar's eyes flashed coldly:

"It's an interesting approach, isn't it? Since I want the land to become a country of Ze, a subsidiary of the ocean, the enemy simply 'punishes' me for becoming a human being, a weak and short-lived existence. If possible, I guess they It also wanted to give me a sense of the horror of being swallowed up by the deterrence of the power of the sea."

Pei Xiang was slightly startled, and then couldn't help sighing:

"It is indeed a very interesting idea. This is because...the other party hates you very much? Otherwise, since there is a chance to assassinate you, just kill you. Why do you use such a complicated method? Instead, it gives you a chance to breathe and hibernate .”

"Because they can't kill me directly." Asfar's peaceful smile contained a kind of willful arrogance, "For every existence that wants to be promoted to a demigod, those demigods who have already occupied the sky god can't stop it Yes. Whoever blocks it directly will not be able to escape the fate of the collapse of the throne."

"Demigod? What kind of existence is that?"

"I can't explain it clearly to you in words," Esfar said slowly, "Do you still remember where the little mermaid's soul goes? She went to the sky daughter and worked for her for 300 years to get the so-called eternal soul. That daughter of the sky is actually a demigod, an existence that surpasses all creatures on land and sea."

"Did she also participate in the original incident?"

"I don't know. It's just that the number of gods belonging to demigods is limited. If there are new ones, there will be perishable ones. One will ebb and flow."

Pei Xiang blinked, silently digesting some of the information Asfar revealed to her, and at the same time couldn't help feeling that the water in this magical fairy tale world was getting deeper and deeper.

Taking advantage of Pei Xiang's ecstasy, Esfar straightened his sleeves, jumped from the top of the pile of books to the table in a graceful manner, then lifted his leg calmly and calmly, and kicked away the pink color in Pei Xiang's hand. Ribbon and lace trim.

Pei Xiang rolled her eyes, pretending not to see Esfar's little action, but secretly decided that she would embroider the name "Cui Cui" on all of Esfar's new clothes.
