Small supermarket welcomes visitors from all directions

Chapter 19: The Strong Heart of Elf Queen Delis

With a "beep" sound, a tall figure appeared through the door. Even from a distance, one could feel that it was a stunning beauty.

As the beauty slowly walked over, it felt like the whole supermarket was brightened up. Her big golden waves were casually draped over her back, her skin was white, her eyes were exactly like those of Princess Sissi, her nose was straight, her lips were full and smiling, and the dark green dress looked noble and elegant on her, as if the dress had doubled in value because of her.

Princess Sissi finally got down from the stool and ran over to throw herself into the woman's arms. There was no doubt that this was the Elf Queen.

The Elf Queen looked at Wang Yue who was coming towards her and introduced herself: "I am Delis, and this is my daughter Xixi. I hope Xixi hasn't caused any trouble for you?"

"I'm Wang Yue, the owner of this supermarket, and Princess Xixi is very cute!" Wang Yue introduced herself to the Elf Queen.

Princess Sissi pretended to be a little adult before her mother came, but after the Elf Queen came, she completely became a little child, and kept introducing to her mother what treasures she had found and the delicious honey.

Delis asked Princess Sissi: "Have you paid the bill?"

Princess Xixi nodded. Wang Yue took out two gems and showed them to Delis: "Princess Xixi used this to pay the bill, but it won't take so many. You can take one back!"

Delis shook her head: "No, just take it if she gives it to you. It's useless for us to hold these gems, otherwise we wouldn't give them to the children as glass beads to play with."

Wang Yue was surprised that there were people who took the ruby ​​and sapphire but didn't use them: "How can they be useless? Aren't they very valuable? They can buy a lot of things with them."

"But we can't get out of the Elf Forest!" Delis said distressedly.

“Ah! Does that mean you can’t leave the Elf Forest and can only move around in the Elf Forest for the rest of your life?” No wonder Princess Xixi likes everything she sees.

"That's not the case. We are the elves who live close to nature. The elves' strength will be greatly reduced if they leave the World Tree. If they leave the Elf Forest, they will be at the mercy of others. There are many hunting teams on our continent that specialize in catching elves. So we don't leave the forest, so this gem is just a beautiful stone to us." Delis explained.

"Then where do these gems come from? Are they gems produced by your Elf Forest?" Wang Yue wondered.

"Although we elves will not leave the Elf Forest, other races can come in. Every year, strong people come to the forest to exchange for the Fountain of Life, and these gems are left behind by them." said Delis.

"Then you can exchange with them for items you can use instead of useless gems."

There must be a reason. The Elf Queen doesn't have a collecting habit, so she wouldn't get so many gems just for fun.

"I want a variety of plants, but those people on the mainland don't want me to have that."

"Your Elf Forest is still short of plants?" The forest was full of plants. "What I need are species that are not found in our forest. The more species I cultivate, the stronger my magic power will be. Those people on the continent are preventing me from getting new species in order to restrict our development. I haven't gotten any new species in fifty years. If this continues, my strength will decline. I will slowly lose control of the Elf Forest, and even the last piece of pure land that protects the elves will be lost. The elves may be exterminated."

Having said that, Delis didn't look sad at all, but rather a bit proud. She must have thought of a solution. She hadn't left the Elf Forest, so could she create a friend out of nothing? Oh no! Creating a friend out of nothing might really be a solution.

"Although many people on the continent are trying to stop me from getting new species, I can feel that what I haven't gotten is only a small part. Even if I get them all, there won't be much. I think this won't work. I have to develop outward. I searched in the forest and finally found a place where the world wall is relatively weak. I use my magic power to bombard the world wall when I have nothing to do. Although I haven't broken through it yet, I can still feel the lushness of the plants in that world."

"Because I had to use magic power to bombard the world wall, I only raised one child. This is also because the Elf Forest needs an heir. It took me a full thousand years to make the world wall very thin. According to my estimation, it may take another few decades, before Xixi comes of age, to break through. As a result, the surprise came so quickly. I sensed it when Xixi came to your plane today. I needed to prepare some things, but fortunately I don't need them anymore. This is good."

Oh my god! This is a ruthless person. I can't believe that Delis has the heart of an unrivaled strong man under her delicate and soft appearance.

"So, I need plants, a lot of plants. I hope you can help us, help the elves. Of course, we will pay a price. What do you need? Just what I have." Delis looked at Wang Yue earnestly.

Wang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Plants are fine, but this is a supermarket and I sell daily necessities, and I don't know much about plants myself. Why don't you come tomorrow and I'll find an expert to talk to you and ask him to bring the illustrated guide. As for the reward, Princess Xixi's beads will be enough."

"You have helped me so much, I can't just give you a few broken beads that can't be eaten or drunk to get rid of you. I will give you something else when the time comes. I'm sure you will need it." After saying this, Delis smiled mysteriously.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Of course, if you like, I can fill a basket with those stones for you."

Wang Yue thought that few women could resist the temptation of colorful gems.

Wang Yue's face lit up when she heard Delis say this: "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Delis waved her delicate hand and said, "It's decided. I will exchange our unimportant things for the things you have everywhere. This is actually an equal exchange. If you want to exchange it for our World Tree, would I be willing to do so? I can only pick two leaves for you at most."

Wang Yue was almost convinced by this eloquence. In fact, Wang Yue knew that the more powerful a being is, the more it believes in cause and effect. If it really doesn't want to, it will make things difficult for others.

Delis said to Princess Xixi: "Xixi, let's go back now. We will come again tomorrow."

Xixi agreed. Seeing that Princess Xixi was about to leave, Wang Yue quickly picked a bell for her. When the bell entered Princess Xixi's hand, it turned into a jasper-colored jade gourd, small and exquisite. Princess Xixi loved it.

Wang Yue and Song Ji Yang helped to deliver the things to the portal. Delis just tapped lightly and the things disappeared. Then the mother and daughter also disappeared into the portal.
