The next morning, the gentle morning sun shone through the window and into the room. Chen Rui slowly opened his hazy eyes.
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the warm body of the little Phoenix. Generally, birds slept standing with their heads tucked into their wings, but Miss Duoduo was sleeping lying down, sticking to her father's face. Her sleeping posture was very cute.
Chen Rui gently stroked Duoduo's feathers and sat up from the bed. This was a room with a peculiar style, giving people the feeling of a small garden rather than a guest room.
The room looked natural and casual, but every corner, every plant, and every ornament were specially and meticulously arranged. The whole room was a work of art that looked like a big but clumsy work of art. Only the elves would have such elegance and meticulousness. The elves were natural artists, and sometimes the requirements for perfection were almost harsh. In their relatively long lifespan, enjoying life and feeling was naturally one of the main keywords. Just like the elves did not understand that humans were busy, humans also did not understand that the elves would "waste" a lot of time on some undesirable things, such as spending a month to carve the pattern of a window, or listening to the gurgling sound of the stream all day long …
Chen Rui opened the window and felt a fresh natural breath blowing on his face, feeling very comfortable. The cities he had seen were all high-rise buildings, richly ornamented buildings, and even steel jungles. Occasionally, some greenery was planted by humans, but this was the first time he saw such a city with nature as the main body.
Under the light blue sky, there were beautiful houses, many of which were specially shaped treehouses, blending in with the green mountains and clear waters. From time to time, the crisp chirping of birds and melodious music could be heard in the breeze. In the distance, one could see the waterfall flowing straight down. The faint mist lingering in the city made people feel as if they had come to a fairyland on earth. This was the Silver Moon Immortal City of the elves.
While Chen Rui was admiring it, the little Phoenix had already woken up.
The first thing Duoduo did when she woke up in the morning was to look for her father. Seeing Chen Rui at the window, she immediately fluttered her wings and flew forward, landing on his shoulder.
"Dad! Breakfast! Breakfast! "
Just as Chen Rui was about to take out a Fire Crystal Stone, he suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, "Duoduo, you can fly now?"
Just now, the Little Phoenix directly flapped its wings and flew up, appearing very stable. It was much better than the previous crooked flight, and that pair of small wings seemed to have grown a little longer.
"Wow, Daddy, Duoduo can fly!" The Little Phoenix flapped its wings and circled around him again. Finally, it returned to his shoulder and intimately touched his face.
At this moment, Chen Rui felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart. It was like a parent watching his child grow up bit by bit and learn his skills step by step. This feeling was an incredible and wonderful experience for him, who had never been a father in either his past or present life. Unknowingly, Little Phoenix had occupied a very important position in Chen Rui's heart, as if she was really his daughter.
He suddenly had an impulse to bring Duoduo back to the Demon Realm and form a perfect big family with Athena and the others. He believed that they would also like this lovely daughter.
The problem was that the [Star Gate] could not take people away, or it could be said that the [Star Gate] skill could only carry a limited level of life. If Little Phoenix was still in the egg, then this form of life level could directly pass through the [Star Gate]. Unfortunately, it was now impossible to return to the egg (Miss Duoduo cut the weeds and eliminated the roots and gnawed the eggshell).
He heard from Samuel that the elves had a master who could teleport people directly to the Demon Realm, but this method was very dangerous. There was a considerable chance that they would fall into a different space or space turbulence, never to return. This was originally the last choice that Chen Rui intended to make if he couldn't gather enough faith crystals. Now that the conversion of one million faith crystals was only a matter of time, there was no need to take this risk. Naturally, he didn't want Little Phoenix to take risks, not to mention that Little Phoenix didn't have the ability of [Star Gate]. Even if she could safely reach the Demon Realm, he didn't know where she would be teleported to.
Just when Chen Rui was having a headache, Duoduo's chirping voice sounded again, "Duoduo don't fly like that. Duoduo still likes to fly like this!"
Seeing Miss Duoduo "launched" out like a spring, the unscrupulous adoptive father sweated profusely, and he finally felt the frustration of misleading his students.
"Duoduo, that, uh … the training can be over. We are going to fly for real now. You see, Dad is flying too. How about you fly with Dad?" Chen Rui controlled his power and gradually floated in the air.
"No, Dad's wings didn't move!"
Chen Rui was speechless. He hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his arms and began the teaching work of flying with "wings". Under Dad's guidance, Duoduo began to flap her wings and fly beside him. She cried out in excitement, even forgetting to eat breakfast.
The room wasn't very spacious. Fortunately, Chen Rui controlled his power very well and didn't bump into anything. At this moment, the door suddenly opened. "Richard! I'm here to see you and Little Bird! "
The next second.
Michelle and Blanche stared dumbfounded at Chen Rui, who was maintaining a certain "graceful" posture in the air.
Michelle: "…"
Blanche: "…"
Chen Rui: "…"
Duoduo: "Dad, hurry up and fly! Your wings aren't moving anymore!"
The next second.
Michelle jumped up excitedly. "Richard, I want to fly with you and your bird too!"
Blanche: "…"
Chen Rui: "…"
Duoduo: "Dad! Why did you fall to the ground! "
Ten seconds later.
Chen Rui brought Miss Duoduo, Michelle, and Blanche out of the room. Even though Chen Rui's skin wasn't that thin, he still nearly found a hole to hide in. The elven room's soundproofing barrier was very good, and the father and daughter were so engrossed in flying that they didn't have time to react.
"Richard, I'll treat you to some green cake, and you let me touch Duoduo, okay?" Michelle looked at the little phoenix on Chen Rui's head.
Blanche reminded, "Didn't Her Majesty the Empress instruct you to bring him to the palace immediately after he finishes his breakfast? Don't let Her Majesty wait too long."
"I know, I just want to touch him …" Before Michelle could finish her sentence, Blanche covered her mouth.
Chen Rui smiled faintly. He didn't argue with Michelle, heading straight for the dining room on the second floor.
There were a few customers in the dining room on the second floor. What surprised Chen Rui was that they were all humans.
There were more than ten of them, and there was no lack of handsome men or beautiful women. Chen Rui immediately saw a young girl among them. This girl's appearance and temperament were outstanding. Even if it wasn't Chen Rui, she would still be the first to be noticed by anyone else, or even if there were hundreds of people around. Some people would still be noticed in a sea of people, and this girl was one of them.
In terms of appearance, this girl had already reached the level of Catherine and Rolla. Even Jía and Isabella paled in comparison. Her facial features and figure were almost perfect. She had a head of purplish-blue hair that trailed over her shoulders. Her eyes were as clear as a mirror, and she exuded a calm and elegant aura. If one had to pick out a flaw, it would be that her brows were a little too firm and lacked some gentleness.
Chen Rui vaguely felt a faint sense of familiarity. It should be from Arthur's memory fragments. However, it wasn't the palpitation he felt when he saw the pair of ocean blue eyes in the Long Huang Empire. Instead, it was a special feeling that he couldn't describe.
Although the girl's appearance was peerless, Chen Rui's gaze was more of admiration. It was just like how women liked to look at handsome men. It was normal for men to like to look at beautiful women. As for other thoughts, he really didn't have any.
Just like Sir Paglio, who would look left and right along the way and turn his head whenever he saw a beautiful woman. In the end, he would still obediently return home and give the supper he bought to Jadeite Miss Long.
Scientific research showed that the more people in the Crystal Palace, the more dangerous it was for the male pig's trotters to be dismembered with a chopper. It was inevitable that their teeth and tongues would collide. For example, the harem was a harmonious family, and all the women were brainwashed to be infatuated with the male pig's trotters. These stories only appeared in myths.
— — These people must be the ones that Captain Nana mentioned last night. They were the students of Starlight Academy who came to the Jadeite Forest to participate in some kind of training. Among them, there should be nobles from the Rayo Empire. The Rayo Empire had an alliance with the elves, so these humans would receive special treatment from the elves.
When those people saw Chen Rui, they were equally surprised. They didn't expect that there would be other humans staying in this green house which was equivalent to the elves' royal guesthouse.
"Hey, kid, take care of your eyes. Otherwise, I don't mind digging them out for you." A discordant voice sounded.
The one who spoke was a thin man dressed in luxurious clothes. At first glance, it was obvious that he was the kind of idiot who liked to show off. Chen Rui was too lazy to argue with such a small character. He didn't even look at that guy and walked straight to an empty table.
The man was proud of his noble status and originally wanted to use this opportunity to please the girl. He didn't expect that this guy with a bird on his head would completely ignore him. He felt that he had lost face in front of everyone, especially the beautiful woman. With a handsome jump, he appeared in front of Chen Rui's table. "Bastard, did you hear what I said?! Do you know who I am? "
"I know, you're a celebrity!" Chen Rui had a serious expression on his face. This "Who Am I" was stunned. "Characters like you appear in every web novel. Unfortunately, they are all sacrificial lambs for the male protagonist. They will step on your face mercilessly. So, go back to your table obediently. That way, some of the beautiful women might look at you in a different light."
The man didn't really understand what Chen Rui meant, but he could hear the mockery in it. He couldn't help but become angry. Just as he was about to explode, a voice came from the door. "Richard, wait for me!"
He saw an elven girl holding a plate of green pastries, bouncing in front of Chen Rui.
The dumb-looking man recognized this young lady as the elf race's little princess, Michelle. He couldn't help but be shocked. Michelle had a fawning expression on her face as she said, "This is a green leaf cake that I personally made. Try it."
Chen Rui picked up a piece and placed it in his mouth. The green leaf cake had a soft texture and a refreshing taste. It melted in his mouth. He couldn't help but praise, "Not bad."
"Richard, since I'm so nice to you, just let me touch it."
Everyone was almost petrified. The dignified little princess of the elves actually …
Chen Rui called out to Duoduo. The little phoenix flew to his palm and looked at the green leaf cake with disdain. Then, it returned to the top of his head and continued to enjoy the aura fruit. Chen Rui shrugged at Michelle and placed the green leaf cake into his mouth.
Michelle looked disappointed. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes. "Mom is waiting for you in the palace. After the meeting, I'll bring you to Teacher Fenoya, okay?"
Everyone heard that the elven queen wanted to meet this ordinary-looking human man. Furthermore, this person seemed to be related to the legendary mechanic grand master Fenoya, who didn't see guests. They couldn't help but be even more shocked. The girl noticed that Michelle used the word "meeting" and raised her eyebrows slightly. She walked over and glanced at the idiot man. The man didn't dare to look directly at her and immediately lowered his head.
"I'm the assistant teacher of Starlight Academy, Rambis. My student, Melody, was rude just now. I apologize on his behalf. Please forgive me."
