A Little Selfishness

"Are you serious?"

Wen Ke'er wore a strange expression as she set aside the Elf soil she had still been collecting. She had planned to keep it as a memento for herself.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"If this thing were really so easy to transplant, why wouldn't Xilos and the others have done it themselves? Isn't it because it's too difficult to deal with?"

"Don't think I don't know. Something like an Elf Tree has extremely demanding environmental requirements. It's already rare enough that Xilos and the others managed to cultivate one in a godforsaken place like this and have it grow normally. Even if husband brought it to his side, so what?"

"Could it be that Xilos and the others would come looking for trouble with husband?!"

With her hands on her hips, Fei Mi knew she was spouting nonsense, but she could not help teasing Wen Ke'er beside her.

She seemed to care quite a bit about that elf, Mei Fu. It was probably because they were both Wood Elves.

"Not likely."

Shen Yi gently shook his head, not taking Fei Mi's words to heart at all.

"By the way, Fei Mi, did those people from before notice us?"

"No. The restriction I set up may not compare to yours, husband, but I cast it with all my strength. With the imitation Rock Prison aura, plus Kolun's presence, they won't notice us."

Fei Mi shook her head, her expression turning much more serious.

She knew what Shen Yi was considering.

That Seven-Petaled Polo Sha they had taken from the underground labyrinth—Shen Yi had deliberately let its aura leak out. Together with Wen Ke'er and Shimada Yukimi, one of the most important reasons he had bestowed Polo Sha upon them was to disperse the power of the Polo Sha.
