Chapter 1274: You Are Able To Have Children Now
Lulu’s body tensed up, and he stared at Irina like a cheetah.
“Yes. Maybe we are the last pair of dryads.” Xixi nodded. Even though she was smiling, there was a sadness underneath it.
“Since the World Tree is on you, the Dryads are not exterminated. However, there seems to be a problem with your World Tree?” Irina said to Xixi with narrowed eyes.
“You could see it?” Xixi looked at Irina in astonishment. Wariness, too, appeared in her eyes.
The elves wanted to exterminate the dryads because the existence of the World Tree could threaten the elves’ Tree of Life. Although this speculation was baseless, it brought the dryads the disaster of extinction.
Irina shook her head as she said to the two of them, “I grew up underneath the Tree of Life, so I can sense the unusual aura on your body. But you don’t have to worry, I am different from Helena. I don’t think the dryads will cause harmful influence to the elves. You are just like us, who are spirits of life nurtured by nature. The Tree of Life chose us, while the World Tree chose you.”
“I have also felt that you are different from others. The World Tree wants to get closer to you, and this is the first time it happened. You are not a bad person.” Xixi nodded, smiling too.
Lulu only relaxed after he heard that.
“Perhaps I could render some help to you. Let me see your World Tree after our lunch,” Irina said with a smile too.
“Then, I would have to bother you.” Xixi nodded with hope in her eyes. Even though her body had largely recovered, there was still no news with her tummy. If Irina could help her repair the world tree, she might still be able to get pregnant.
The rest didn’t quite understand Irina and Xixi’s conversation, but this didn’t affect their mood of enjoying the good food and drinks.
The hot and spicy grilled fish was the ultimate perfect match with the ice cold beer, and together with the other scrumptious dishes, this was a complete meal full of variety. Every dish was an extreme scrumptious experience.
“Although this red braised pork is a little fat, it’s so delicious. The aroma of the meat is rich and it melts in the mouth instantly. It is fat but not greasy.
“This fish head is soft and light, spicy and tasty. It’s divine.
“This roast duck…”
Irina, who had two weeks of hardship trapped in the underground cavern, quickly immersed herself in the delicacies. She was praising every dish, and looking at Mag with an increasingly satisfied gaze.
This husband was beyond fantastic!
It was not useful to simply know how to fight. They couldn’t be fighting every day at home, right?
Having a husband who was ferocious when he was out fighting and cooked wonderful meals when he was at home was simply too blissful!
Mag was also feeling rather smug as he listened to Irina’s praises and took in her gaze of adoration.
Yes, it was this sensation!
Even if she was the unattainable elf princess in others’ eyes and the leader of the powerful and independent Night Elves, she was still captured by him after eating his drug— no, dishes.
“Father, I have run out of food on my plate. I want to eat fish…” Amy pouted at Mag.
“Alright, I’ll get some for you.” Mag swiftly “retrieved” his heart that had sort of floated away, and picked a piece of fish for Amy.
The lunch’s ambience was unexpectedly relaxed and happy. Maybe it was because Irina knew most of them, and she didn’t put on any airs, but it wasn’t awkward or tense when she joined in.
After lunch, all of them were a little high after drinking plenty of beer.
Krassu and Urien went away noisily, saying they wanted to find a place to fight it out and decide which of them was better.
Meanwhile, Shirley left with Anna and her belongings. Since she was back, Anna naturally concluded her stay at the restaurant.
“Let’s go. Let me see your World Tree.” Irina and Xixi went to a corner.
Xixi placed her hands flat up in front of her body. A light green beam began to glow at her lower belly. A little sapling quickly appeared on her palms. It was roughly about two hands high and had three little branches. However, the leaves were sparse as there were only nine of them. Although they looked very green, they didn’t look very lively.
“It looks rather different from the Tree of Life, and its presence is totally different. It feels like nature.” Irina’s eyes brightened as she looked at the World Tree. Her gaze focused on the complicated leaves’ veins for quite some time before she looked up at Xixi. “Both of you were seriously injured in the past?”
“Yes. We weren’t always lucky during our exile.” Xixi nodded with a smile of resignation and sadness.
Irina nodded slightly. After pondering for some time, she took out a little white porcelain bottle from a ring on her finger and removed the stopper. A rich scent of life washed over them.
The World Tree seemed to sense the presence, and its leaves began to quiver as if a light breeze was blowing at it.
“This is… Life’s Lotion?” Xixi looked at the little porcelain bottle in Irina’s hands in amazement.
Lulu’s eyes also lit up. They had once thought about Life’s Lotion too. However, it was extremely precious and only available in the Wind Forest, so they had had to give up on that idea.
“Yes. It is able to repair certain serious injuries, maybe it could have some good effects on you and the World Tree.” Irina nodded as she passed the little bottle to Xixi straightaway. “The World Tree is living in your body now, so you can drink all of it. Let’s see if it’s effective.”
“T-this is too precious.” Xixi was hesitating, and she didn’t reach out to receive the bottle.
“Compared to a life, this is just a bottle of special dew that the Tree of Life manufactures every year.” Irina shook her head as she looked at her belly. “Besides, don’t you want to become a mother? There are only the two of you left of the dryads.”
Xixi was taken aback. She was already looking at the little porcelain bottle with a hopeful gaze. She had always wanted a child for all these years, but she had lost the possibility of becoming a mother after that serious injury.
“Thank you very much.” Xixi received the little porcelain bottle with her hands before bowing deeply to Irina. Then, she took a deep breath and tilted her head back to pour the few drops of creamy white lotion into her mouth.
The rich scent of life engulfed her, and it spread to the rest of her body and limbs from her mouth cavity. It began to repair the hidden injuries in her body crazily.
And a portion of the Life Force became a light green beam and gushed toward the World Tree.
The World Tree, which was only about two hands high, began to grow gradually in front of their eyes, and green leaves began to erupt in between the branches. It slowly became a 50 cm tall little tree that was full of green leaves. Its entire body was glowing and shimmering, and mysterious runes could be vaguely seen on the leaves. It looked rather mysterious.
Xixi opened her eyes gradually and touched her belly with an amazed expression. She could already sense that she had regained the ability to carry life. Moreover, due to the growth of the World Tree, her power seemed to have increased along with it.
“Congratulations. You are already a 9th-tier magic caster now.” Irina smiled at Xixi. “And, you are able to have children now.”
