This Chapter was shorter than I thought, have some cat gifs to make up for it~

“Meow.” Allowing the youth to touch, poke, and play with it, no matter how he teased the cat, the kitten in his embrace continued to let out a low purr. It could almost be described as excessively tolerant.

No one knew what the kitten was was thinking, but the furry tail continued to sway lightly. Its eyes were half closed, evidently very pleased.

“Qiuqiu…?” Gu Yan had naturally noticed the other party's good mood. But why?

Unexpectedly, he was unable to figure out the reason for the other person's change in mood. Gu Yan could not help but feel a little suspicious.

Although it sounded a little narcissistic, Gu Yan was aware of the fact that the other person's emotions were usually tied to him. Seriously pondering over this matter, Gu Yan was still unable to come up with a reason.

Hearing his call, the kitten in his embrace continued to lick his finger, making him ticklish. Gu Yan had unknowingly forgotten to pursue his question.

Stroking the cat, the time spent waiting was no longer as meaningless as before. About ten minutes later, the Priest that had been repeatedly casting the same spell unwillingly gave up.

The young elves born from the Tree of Life were merely little orbs of light without their own consciousness. However, when Gu Yan approached the tree, he was surprised to realise that the orbs that were previously hovering about the silver-haired elves, not daring to approach, were now moving towards him.

Eh?

He was stunned to see a small orb touching the back of his hand. Although there was no definite feeling, the skin that came into contact with it somehow seemed to feel a little warmth.

Standing in front of the Tree of Life, not too far away, the Priest had not enjoyed such treatment from the newborn elves.

The two high elves at the scene were also stunned by what they were seeing. Newborn elves were naturally and instinctively drawn towards the Tree of Life and the Elf King who had a connection with the Tree. This situation of approaching a human was completely unheard of.

How could this be?

This was the first thought that popped into their head. When they finally regained their calm, the two high elves stared intently at the black-haired youth approaching the Tree of Life,

Perhaps…This person had the highest chance of waking their King.

Feeling the difference between them, the face of the Priest at the side turned ugly. He had finally obtained a legendary cla.s.s quest with much difficulty, the rewards were something countless people could only dream of. No matter what, he refused to give up here.

“It's useless to pull such petty tricks.” To be favored by the newborn elves did not mean anything.

The Priest slowly put his staff away. The experience of failure caused his tone towards his compet.i.tor to be impolite but, in the end, he still made way for the youth.

Gu Yan did not reply. He was trying to prevent the kitten in his arms from flying into a rage. Hugging the kitten tightly, he glanced at the silver-haired elf that was well protected within the branches of the

Tree of Life.

The silver strands were like a waterfall. If he were not laying down and s.h.i.+elded by the dense foliage, the silver-hair elf with his eyes closed looked no different from a sleeping person.

It was like…Sleeping Beauty.

If he'd had any conscience and told the Paladin truthfully, the slumbering silver-hair elf probably could be described as “beautiful”. Even when compared to the other G.o.ds of this world, for example, the Lord of the Netherworld, they can hardly hold a candle to the Elf King.

However, it must be noted that the latter was already at the pinnacle of beauty.

If the silver-haired elf was to open his eyes right now, any person who looked at him would probably be willing to do whatever he demanded...

Just as the thought crossed his mind, in the next second, Gu Yan found himself staring into a pair of eyes that were the pale gold of a new sun.

Staring at the youth within his reach, the silver-hair elf who had abruptly awoken from his deep slumber suddenly reached his hands out to pull the youth closer. In the next second, he pressed his own lips against the youth's pale ones.

The author has something to say:

Sleeping Beauty Qiu is not following the script

Gu Yan is stupified.
