Volume 4, Chapter 82 – Plants Spreading Through the Underground Palace

“Wuwuwu, daddy, sister… brother, wuwuwu qwq…”

Shuttling through the pitch-black tunnel, Nimi kept crying.

The little elf wasn’t stupid—she understood very clearly… that in order to let her escape, her brothers and sister were literally risking their lives to block those bad people.

She might never see them again.

Thinking of this, the sadness in Nimi’s heart grew even more intense, and tears fell continuously like broken pearls.

But while grieving, Nimi was also doing her utmost to search for an escape route. After all, if she couldn’t get out, her siblings’ efforts would all be in vain.

—”BOOM!”—

Just then, a terrifying energy tremor suddenly came from behind, accompanied by a shrill wail.

That was Sister Leia Ni’s voice…

Obviously, the battle in the laboratory had been decided.

After hearing this voice, the grief in Nimi’s heart skyrocketed even more. Biting her lip, she seemed to collapse as she charged forward desperately.

—”You idiot! Running like that, you’ll never escape!”—

A strange male voice filled with worry quietly echoed beside the little elf’s ears.

“Wu?”

The next instant, before Nimi could react, a pair of large hands suddenly reached out from a small side passage, catching her off guard and dragging her into the side passage.

“Wuwuwu!!”

Nimi kept struggling, but since her mouth was covered, the elf girl could only make helpless “wu wu” sounds.

It’s over.

She was caught.

She was… she was dead…

The girl’s heart was filled with despair.

But just then, unexpected words suddenly reached Nimi’s ears.

—”Please stop struggling! I’m trying to save you, okay?! Running through monitored corridors like that, you’ll never escape!”—

??

Wu-ming?

Seemingly sensing that there was no killing intent or hostility in the other’s words, the crying elf girl rarely quieted down a bit. Suppressing her unease, she tremblingly turned her head to look behind her, toward the black-haired youth who was half-hidden in shadows and holding her in his arms.

Although her mouth was covered and she couldn’t speak, Nimi still used her watery big eyes to express her inner confusion.

—”Who are you?”—

Seeing that the elf girl was no longer struggling so much, the black-haired youth breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At the same time, he obviously read the question in the elf girl’s eyes, so he replied with a weary and helpless expression:

“My name is Yeli, just a passing good Samaritan.”

The black-haired youth—Yeli, who was the third Savior—after answering, raised his hand to pat the elf girl’s head as comfort.

“Don’t worry, I’m different from those people. I’m here to help you.”

Originally, after being temporarily free from Xing Wu’s supervision and feeling bored, Yeli had just wanted to wander around the experimental area to see if he could catch a glimpse of the legendary elves.

After all, as a fan who had watched plenty of fantasy movies, Yeli was quite curious about the beautiful elf race.

As a result, by strange coincidence, he did see elves, but he also witnessed Visarion’s atrocities.

As a youth with a sense of justice, Yeli naturally couldn’t stand Visarion’s behavior. However, due to insufficient strength and slightly lacking courage, Yeli hadn’t dared to intervene earlier.

But when he saw the little elf escape and Visarion still didn’t intend to let her go… Yeli couldn’t hold back anymore.

Damn it, were the Ancestors of House Solrog all turned into beasts?

They even wanted to kill such a small child?!

So, unable to bear it any longer, Yeli had pulled the little elf into the shadows when she was running around frantically.

After seeing that the little elf was no longer making a fuss, Yeli carefully released her small mouth and took Nimi’s hand, walking into the shadows.

“Go this way… this area temporarily has no surveillance.”

Having spent so many years in the Nether Palace, Yeli was somewhat familiar with this ghostly place.

“Wu? Oh.”

After sensing Yeli’s goodwill, Nimi obediently followed behind Yeli.

On the other side, feeling the warmth of the little elf’s palm, Yeli’s face flushed slightly red, and his heart became a bit nervous.

After all, whether on Earth or in the Divine Kingdom, he had always been in a state of perpetual singlehood. He had never dated a single girlfriend, and hadn’t even held a girl’s hand!

Although he had come to this world as a Savior, he hadn’t enjoyed any beautiful women’s service—most of the time he was stuck with a certain tigress.

Therefore, when holding hands, Yeli felt a bit secretly pleased.

So soft, so tender?!

Is this an elf’s little hand?

How can I even smell a floral fragrance?

Hehe, hehe~

Hm? Ah, pfft!! What the hell am I thinking?!

Shaking his head frantically, Yeli barely managed to regain his sanity.

But honestly speaking, the people of Paradise Manor, especially those Ancestors, really had problems with their brains, right?!

Setting aside the fact that indiscriminate killing was really lacking…

Such cute and beautiful elves would be cherished as wives on Earth.

That Ancestor actually wanted to kill her directly?

There’s something wrong with his brain!

Sigh, forget it… I don’t have the energy to think about him. Let me think about how to help this little one escape.

Glancing at the anxious little elf behind him with his peripheral vision, Yeli couldn’t help but sigh.

Honestly speaking, thinking about it carefully, saving this elf little girl was purely a moment of hot-headedness.

That Ancestor of House Solrog was such a beast—if he got caught along with her, he probably wouldn’t have a good ending either.

Thinking of this, Yeli instinctively shivered.

“I hope I can successfully get her out. I shouldn’t be… that unlucky, right?”

Yeli muttered to himself anxiously.

However, before his words had even finished, the ceiling not far ahead suddenly cracked.

Yeli: ?!!

“BOOM!!”

The next instant, accompanied by a loud crash, the ceiling suddenly collapsed. A figure emanating bloody aura directly appeared in the smoke and dust—it was Visarion, who had just finished dealing with the elf siblings.

On the other side, Yeli quickly grabbed Nimi’s small hand and directly hid in a nearby alley.

However, when Yeli wanted to escape further… there was nowhere to run.

Because the youth awkwardly discovered that he had accidentally run into a dead end…

All he could do now was hold the elf girl, curl up in the corner, and pray that the monster wouldn’t discover them.

Unfortunately, Yeli’s prayers had no effect—Visarion walked step by step toward their location.

—”Are you hiding here? Hehe~”—

Feeling the approaching pressure and hearing that terrifying whisper, Yeli’s heart almost stopped beating from nervousness.

The elf girl in his arms was trembling non-stop, and desperate tears dripped one by one from her eyes.

Damn, shit!

Biting his lip, Yeli cursed unwillingly in his heart and closed his eyes in resignation.

However, just when Yeli thought they would definitely be discovered and everything was over, Visarion’s voice left them stunned.

—”Not here? Strange… where did they hide?”—

With those words, Visarion’s footsteps gradually moved away.

???

Eh?

He, he left?

Didn’t discover us? What the hell?

Is he blind?

Confused emotions instantly spread in the youth’s heart. Still holding his breath, Yeli tremblingly opened his eyes, looked to the side, and then this Savior youth immediately froze in place.

“Eh? What, what is this?”

At this moment, the small alley that had originally been empty had somehow sprouted an emerald wall woven from vines and branches, just standing there, blocking in front of them and emanating waves of wonderful lily-of-the-valley fragrance.

Yeli’s intuition told him that it was precisely this wall that had saved them, helping them avoid Visarion’s pursuit.

“These plants? What’s going on?”

Yeli muttered in complete bewilderment.

Moreover, he didn’t know if it was his imagination… but recently in the Nether Palace, quite a few such plants seemed to have grown?

Of course, perhaps because he was thinking, Yeli didn’t notice that the elf girl in his arms had stopped crying… Nimi just stared wide-eyed, silently gazing at the wall of vines ahead, the fear in her eyes having dissipated, replaced by an indescribable excitement and agitation.

The elf girl’s eyes gradually began to glow.

…

On the other side, in the experimental area holding the elf race, due to their attempt to resist, Nimi’s brothers and sister, along with several other elves who had tried to help, had been severely injured by Visarion and were lying in pools of blood, silently awaiting death’s arrival.

But just as the elves were about to give up hope and close their eyes, some strange plants quietly began growing from the ground in front of them…
