I miss her

Long Ling took the Moonshadow Rabbit home, found a small bamboo basket, lined it with soft cotton and cloth, and placed the Moonshadow Rabbit beside the bed.

The little rabbit felt fluffy, emitting a pink light, like a cute little night light.

With the little rabbit by her side, she fell asleep more easily than before.

Beside the bed was a mushroom given to her by Aeloris, which smelled of the tranquility of a forest after rain.

As soon as Long Ling closed her eyes, the colorful spores seemed to float before her eyes.

Dancing rabbits, glowing spores—from that moment on, she fell in love with the dreamy and peculiar forest.

She liked the rabbit dance danced by the Moonshadow Rabbit very much.

In order to invite the little rabbit to stay with her, she fed all the carrots she and Aeloris had found that night to the pink Moonshadow Rabbit.

Seeing that she liked raising rabbits very much, Modai accompanied her to the forest to find Moonshadow Carrots.

Because Long Ling and Modai were both dragons and not familiar with the forest, they only found a few Moonshadow Carrots that had been gnawed by rabbits.

Shelly saw her mother and daughter return home as if they had lost a battle and provided them with tips for finding Moonshadow Carrots, allowing Long Ling to buy a bottle of magic potion from the High Priest.

Late at night, Long Ling and Modai drank the potion together, gaining keen vision.

Under the moonlight, which was like water, all the creatures glowing in the dark seemed to be outlined by a paintbrush.

A subtle breeze blew through the grass blades, and the light purple carrot leaves swayed slightly.

Tiny specks of light dragged arcs in the breeze.

Everything became slow and easy to capture.

Long Ling learned Modai’s swooping posture and flew past.

Sharp dragon claws grabbed a patch of Moonshadow Carrots, and she lifted a bunch of carrot leaves.

With the power of wind she was born with, all the soil from the carrots was blown off.

Thump, thump, thump, a large pile of carrots was thrown into the cloth bag.

Two carrots accidentally fell out and were discovered by several light blue Moonshadow Rabbits, who hopped over to pick them up.

A group of little rabbits holding carrots were surrounded by two silver-white giant dragons.

The giant dragon’s icy blue eyes showed an unfriendly, fierce light.

The smaller giant dragon shook her head at the larger giant dragon.

The large giant dragon did not drive the rabbits away, but watched the little rabbits eat carrots with the little dragon.

After the Moonshadow Rabbits finished eating the carrots that had fallen on the ground, Long Ling hung the cloth bag on her dragon claws, weighed it, and found that it was quite heavy, almost half a bag of carrots.

Seeing that her bag was a little empty, Modai poured all the carrots she had dug out into her bag.

Long Ling carried a large bag of carrots home.

With such ample reserves, she could watch the little rabbit dance every day and invite the little rabbit to sleep with her.

Because she had drunk the magic potion, when she opened her eyes in the morning, before the effects of the potion had worn off, the surrounding area was a blur of light.

Long Ling thought she was going blind and was almost startled.

Grandma came over and told her to close her eyes and rest for a while, helped her feed the rabbit, and brought her a handmade, smooth egg pancake to eat.

In the days that followed, Modai would take Long Ling to stroll around the elven lands every day.

Most of the elves here had their own jobs.

Some were good at weaving, some were good at farming, some were good at brewing wine and forging, and some elves were very lazy and just dozed on the trees.

After this lazy elf woke up, Long Ling asked curiously, “If you don’t work, how do you support yourselves?”

The elf said with a smile, “The forest will support us.

We can eat berries.

The forest has an endless supply of berries all year round.

The bows and arrows in our hands can also help us hunt enough prey.”

Long Ling envied the life of the elves.

When she saw elves selling handmade fabrics, Long Ling touched the exquisite patterns and meticulous workmanship and couldn’t help but want to buy them and give them to her grandmother and mother.

But when Long Ling took out the gold bars her mother had given her, the elves refused to accept them.

The elven race was different from the outside world and only accepted the primitive form of bartering.

Because they lived deep in the dense forest, rarely communicated with the outside world, and loved peace, they had a very good reputation among the various races.

After Modai followed Shelly to live in the elven lands, she discovered that the utensils created by the elven race were exquisite.

She was proficient in the languages and writings of different continents and discovered that the elven lands bordered several continents.

In addition, only elves could freely enter and exit the Misty Forest.

With the help of the elves, she could smoothly walk out of the trade routes leading to various places.

Relying on her business acumen, Modai quickly accumulated primitive wealth, purchased many assets in various places, and also brought back trendy and useful tools from the outside world to the elven race.

Every day, many elves would greet Modai and also ask about Long Ling’s background.

Modai would introduce her daughter to them.

When Modai wanted to take out her jeweled pocket watch to exchange for something her daughter liked, Long Ling took the initiative to hold her mother’s hand.

“Mom, my carving skills are okay.
Let me exchange it with her.”

Long Ling picked up a piece of rosewood suitable for carving from the forest, carved a small rabbit ornament, painted it with colors that elves would like, and made it into a beautiful bracelet.

When the elf saw the adorable little rabbit, she immediately agreed to Long Ling’s exchange request.

The elf immediately put the little rabbit bracelet on her hand, and later, elves who saw the bracelet asked where she had gotten it.

Long Ling gave the exchanged fabrics to her grandmother and mother.

The next day, her mailbox was full.

Long Ling opened those letters.

Many elves were requesting to exchange for wooden rabbit carvings.

Long Ling accidentally discovered Aeloris’ letter.

Aeloris thought that she knew that rabbit would be very popular among the elves and hoped that Long Ling could make more friends.

She could let Long Ling give it to some others if they wished to befriend her, and asked Long Ling what items she liked, so she could exchange them with her.

Long Ling thought that Aeloris had helped her a lot and didn’t plan to ask for anything from Aeloris again, but gave one to her.

Shelly was recuperating in bed, so she recorded the items that the elves who offered the exchange were willing to provide and let Long Ling choose.

Thinking that this might help Long Ling make friends in the elven race, Modai helped her find someone to buy a batch of wood suitable for carving to facilitate Long Ling’s access to materials.

Long Ling obtained many elven specialties with wooden rabbit bracelets: green flour, novel vegetables, beautiful fabrics, special cheese, and a treasured knife that Aeloris sent her.

During this period, her mother took her everywhere, and she ate a lot of elven food.

She hadn’t cooked for a long time, but Aeloris still remembered her hobby and sent her such a suitable gift.

The knife that Aeloris gave her was made of mithril, with silver and gold inlay on the back of the blade.

The hilt was also engraved with magical runes and inlaid with gems that dragons loved.

It cut meat as easily as cutting paper, and it wouldn’t blunt when cutting bones.

In her original world, even the knives bestowed by the emperor didn’t have such good craftsmanship.

Even Modai the knight couldn’t help but sigh when she saw the mithril, saying that it was the best material on this continent and that she should keep such a precious gift well.

She knew that the friendship between friends couldn’t be measured only by the value of gifts.

Long Ling was very grateful to Aeloris.

She used the mushrooms that had fallen from the Moonshadow Rabbit, hollowed out the middle of the stems, added some well-seasoned chopped onions and minced garlic inside, fried the mushrooms with butter, and tasted them with Aeloris.

After eating these small mushrooms, just like Aeloris said, her sense of smell became more sensitive than before.

Aeloris could smell the strawberry pheromones on her, and she could also smell the scent of sunshine and green grass on Aeloris.

But what was not so good was that Long Ling couldn’t go out before the effects of the small mushrooms dissipated.

The earthy smell of the soil and the smell of naturally decaying leaves in the air became particularly strong, which was a disaster for her sense of smell.

Seeing that she was unwilling to go out, Aeloris stayed with her in the wooden house and also brought her some elven picture books.

Through the picture books, Long Ling learned more about this world, as well as the history and past of the elves.

Every elf was born from the Mother Tree.

The Mother Tree blessed the elves every year.

After being blessed by the Mother Tree, the elves’ magical abilities would be enhanced.

The elves were grateful for the blessings bestowed by the Mother Tree and would hold a grand ceremony.

The Mother Tree Festival was the largest ceremony of the elven race.

“Long Ling, in half a month, the elven race will celebrate the Mother Tree Festival.

All the elves will rush back to pray under the Mother Tree.

There will also be a banquet.

Do you want to dance under the tree with me?”

Long Ling looked at Aeloris’s emerald green eyes, not expecting her to suddenly extend an invitation to her.

“Me?” Long Ling had learned the Rainbow Feather Dance from the palace’s aunties before she was assigned to the Imperial Kitchen, but she knew nothing about the dances of this world.

“Aeloris, I may not be very good at dancing.”

Aeloris said gently,

“I will teach you, Long Ling.

You have half elven blood in you.

If you pray under the Mother Tree, the Mother Tree will also bless you.”

Long Ling’s eyes lit up.

“Okay, Grandma is going back to the Arnold family in two days.

I want to see her off.

If I can make it back in time, I will go to the Mother Tree Festival ceremony with you.”

Aeloris stretched out her slender pinky finger towards her.

Long Ling circled her pinky finger with Aeloris’s pinky finger and hooked her fingers.

Fingertips touched, and a warm sensation was transmitted.

The two’s eyes met unintentionally.

Aeloris gazed at Long Ling’s icy blue eyes: “I will pick you up on the day of the Mother Tree Festival.”

Long Ling nodded: “Okay, let’s participate together then.”

Not long after Aeloris left, Modai knocked on the door and came in, bringing Long Ling the magic medicine for treating leg injuries refined by the High Priest, asking her if she wanted someone to send it to Violet.

Long Ling held the heavy potion bottle in her hand.

If this medicine was sent to Violet by an elf, she didn’t know if Violet would accept it.

If she went to send it herself, she was afraid of being caught by Violet.

Seeing the sorrow on Long Ling’s brow, Modai touched Long Ling’s head:

“Otherwise, wait a few days.

After you’ve thought it over, go send it.

During this period, Mom is going to purchase some magical fireworks and festive lanterns, as well as some magical stones for prayer.

You can help Mom go to get the goods together and exchange them with the elves.”

Long Ling knew that her mother had many industries, and she didn’t need to do such small things herself.

In the past, the procurement of these things was done by small merchants under her command.

Doing this was just to distract her.

Long Ling hadn’t figured out how to send it yet, and her lips curved up with a bright smile:

“I haven’t been to other places yet.

After seeing off Grandma, I can help Mom get the goods.”

Modai hugged her: “My precious daughter has grown up and will definitely be Mom’s good helper.”

Long Ling discussed the procurement route with Modai, sent her mother out of the room, lowered her head and looked at the magic medicine for a while, and carefully put it away.

At this time, Violet was propped up on her pillow late at night, placing the pillow that belonged to Long Ling beside her.

That heartless little strawberry dragon, it’s been a month, why hasn’t she regretfully cried and come to find her yet?

Violet looked at her crimson dragon tail.

In the past, the silver-white dragon tail would tightly wrap around it, turning it around and around, and the dragon tail would pat her body.

The strawberry pheromones on the pillow were also fading, and her little strawberry dragon seemed to be really not coming back.

Violet took a tall wine glass and poured the strawberry fruit wine from the wine bottle into the wine glass.

She sipped the wine with her cold and beautiful lips, leaned her head back, the alcohol content of the strawberry fruit wine was very low, but it still choked her a little, the corners of her eyes were tinged with a light red, and the blush on her cheeks became very moving.

Not enough, the strawberry flavour in the fruit wine was not strong enough, completely different from the ones the little dragon gave her!

After Violet finished drinking the wine, she raised her hand and smashed it, the glass bottle shattered all over the floor, and the remaining strawberry-flavoured fruit wine fragrance instantly filled the entire secret room.
