After Ying Xue and Greenwood appeared, more and more Fairies appeared. Soon, there was a large crowd, and all of their gazes were focused on Ling Chen. There were both men and women, old and young, but the majority were men. They all looked at Ling Chen in amazement, as if they were looking at an alien. However, from their gazes, Ling Chen didn't see any fear or rejection. Instead, they all looked a bit … strange. They understood the rules, and none of them came up to talk to Ling Chen. They all looked at him from afar, whispering to each other in a voice that Ling Chen couldn't hear.
No less than expected from the most beautiful creatures in the world. All Ling Chen could see were handsome men and beautiful women. No matter if it was a man or a woman, any one of them would be able to insta-kill a group of people. As for Ying Xue, she was the most dazzling of them all. Even among the elves, everyone's eyes would immediately fall on her, and they would be deeply amazed by her beauty and otherworldly temperament.
Seeing that her father didn't blame Ling Chen, little Cai 'Er let out a sigh of relief. However, she seemed to be a bit confused as to why their reactions were different from what she had expected. She directly said, "Father, big brother came here in order to bring me back, and he can't go out anymore. Big sister just used her Nature's Ring today, and she can only use it again in 100 years. Is there any other way to bring big brother out? Father, you're so amazing, so you must have some other way, right? "
Ling Chen continued to speak, "Chief Greenwood, I also came here because of this matter. After all, I'm a human, and no matter if it's for me or for you, I shouldn't stay here, so … "
"I have a question for you, and you must answer it honestly." Ying Xue, who had been calm this entire time, suddenly opened her mouth and looked at Ling Chen.
Ling Chen nodded, "Please ask."
"Are my First Wings on you?" Ying Xue slowly asked. His gem-like eyes flashed with a complicated light.
"Whoosh …" As soon as Ying Xue finished speaking, Ling Chen noticed that all of the Fairies' gazes had locked onto him. Even Greenwood silently looked at him, waiting for his reply. Cai 'er's mouth was also wide open. She looked at him in surprise, as if she had heard something incredible.
Ling Chen's scalp went numb. He had unintentionally taken something called "Ying Xue's First Wings" from Ying Xue's body. From the reaction of the elves, it seemed to be extremely important.
As a member of the elven race, he definitely couldn't deny it. Facing the countless gazes, he nodded and said, "This … I did take this thing from you on a whim. It seems that this thing is very important to you. I didn't mean to do it, so I hope you won't take offense. I'll return it to you now. "
After speaking, Ling Chen took out "Ying Xue's First Wings" and held it in front of Ying Xue. This was a very beautiful pair of wings, and they were very similar to the ones on Ying Xue's back. However, they were much smaller, and they weren't as transparent as the ones on Ying Xue's back. However, they were still very beautiful, and they faintly gave off the fragrance of flowers and grass.
Whoosh …
When Ling Chen took out this pair of wings in front of all of the elves, Ling Chen could hear the whispers of the elves increase by many times, and they all looked at him with strange gazes. This was especially so for the young male elves. Ling Chen could see looks of envy and sadness on their faces.
This kind of reaction caught Ling Chen completely off guard, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
Could it be that these First Wings were something incredible?
Ying Xue didn't reach out to take it, and instead looked at him in a daze. Although she had already confirmed that he had taken it, she still couldn't remain calm when the truth was presented to her. Her full chest heaved up and down violently.
Ying Xue was fully deserving of her heavenly beauty, and her delicate cheeks were as delicate as cream. She didn't have Qi Yue's charm, but she had the arrogance of a snow lotus. She was beautiful when she smiled, and beautiful when she didn't smile. Her body was slender and exquisite, but because of her slender jade-like bones, she didn't seem that full. However, her chest was propped up high, letting Ling Chen know that there was a snow-white body under her clothes. As such, he couldn't help but stare blankly for a while when faced with this elven girl's strange gaze.
"Ah!!" Cai 'Er's cry of surprise caused Ling Chen to come back to his senses. The little Fairy's face was filled with shock, as if she had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world. Her gaze moved between Ling Chen, First Wings, and Ying Xue, and she stuttered, "Big brother, y-y-you … actually … big sister's First Wings … ah …"
"Cough, cough!" With too many Fairies watching, this question couldn't be continued. Greenwood faked a cough and took 2 steps forwards as he laughed, "Young human, since you've taken my daughter's First Wings, it must be fate that brought us together. Since that's the case, you can keep my daughter's First Wings. There's no need to return them to her. Alright, you can take them back. "
"But …" Ling Chen, who was completely confused, didn't know what to do. He looked at Ying Xue, and when their gazes met, Ying Xue's eyes became misty as she turned around, leaving him with a beautiful back view. At the same time, she told him that she didn't want the First Wings back. Ling Chen could only take the First Wings back and say, "Alright then, thank you for Ying Xue's gift. Chief Greenwood, about what I just said. "
Greenwood shook his head, "The barrier that seals our clan was set up by our ancestors in order to completely separate our clan from the outside world. It's invisible and formless, and there's no way to break it. It's simply impossible. Even if our clan used all of our strength, we wouldn't be able to harm it in the slightest. This barrier can only be entered, but not exited. The only way to get out is to use one of the unique Heaven Artifacts of our race — the power of the Nature's Ring. The Nature's Ring can achieve spatial teleportation that ignores all barriers in the world. Its existence is to send outsiders out of our race. After so many years, you are the first human to enter this place, and also the first human to be sent out by the Nature's Ring. However, the Nature's Ring can only be used once every 100 years, so there's no other way to leave this place. "
Ling Chen's eyebrows furrowed … apart from the Nature's Ring, there was no other way to leave … could it be that in the future, he would only be able to move about within the Fairy Clan, and wouldn't be able to go anywhere else? The only way for him to leave was to die, and if he died, his level would return to zero. However, if he didn't use this method … he would be trapped here until he died.
Greenwood saw the change in Ling Chen's expression, and he comforted him, "Young human, please calm down. There's still hope. My mother knows many of the Fairy Clan's secrets, and she might know a way to leave this place. However, my mother is currently cultivating, and won't have any free time until tomorrow. During this period of time, you can walk around the Fairy Clan and familiarize yourself with this place. You don't need to feel restricted here, and you can treat this place as your own home. I'm sure that all of the Fairies here will welcome you. "
"I still have some clan matters to take care of, so I need to leave. Tomorrow, after I ask my mother, I'll immediately let you know. Cai 'Er, Ying Xue, accompany him for a walk. Don't be rude to our Fairy Clan's first guest in so many years. "Greenwood smiled as he nodded at Ling Chen, then turned and left. Ling Chen couldn't understand his smile at all.
Why did he feel like something was off? Ling Chen scratched his head.
Greenwood evidently had an extremely high status in the Fairy Clan. As soon as he spoke, the Fairies that had been preparing to surround Ling Chen quickly left. Before leaving, they didn't forget to look at Ling Chen strangely. Otherwise, their gazes wouldn't have contained such hostility.
"Ahhhh!" As soon as Greenwood left, Cai 'Er immediately yelled out. She floated in front of Ying Xue and blinked as she yelled, "Big sister, big sister! You actually gave your First Wings … to big brother … So strange, so strange! Big brother's a human! "
Ying Xue still had her back to Ling Chen, so Ling Chen couldn't see her expression. He could only hear her emotionless reply, "I didn't give it to him. I don't know how he took it from me. You can ask him yourself. "
After speaking, Ying Xue turned her back to Ling Chen and left, not even looking back at him.
"Oh …" Hearing Ying Xue's words, Cai 'Er tapped her finger on her lips, seeming to think.
"Cai 'Er," Ling Chen couldn't help but walk up and ask, "Cai' Er, what are your First Wings? Do they have any special meaning to you Fairies? "
"Eh? Big brother doesn't know? Oh, that's right, big brother is a human, so he probably doesn't know. " Cai 'Er straightened her little nose and began to earnestly explain, "First Wings are the first pair of wings that we Fairies have. When we come of age, our First Wings will fall off and grow into new wings. Afterwards, the First Wings that fall off will become the most important thing to a female Fairy, something that is even more important than their own lives. If a female Fairy gives her First Wings to a male Fairy, and the male Fairy accepts it, it means that they have made a vow to be together forever. If a female Fairy loses or damages her First Wings, she can only be alone for the rest of her life, and cannot marry. As for male Fairies, their First Wings aren't that important. "
Ling Chen: "… …"
Hearing Cai 'Er's explanation, Ling Chen's expression became extremely interesting. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Ying Xue and Greenwood's different reactions, as well as the strange looks in the Fairies' eyes, gave him an answer.
