I will never give in to Miss Death

"You must eat well and grow up quickly. Then this small water tank will no longer be able to hold you, and you can move to a bigger place."

When I came out of the room, Xiaomo had just finished watering the last pot of flowers. In front of me, she put down the watering can and scissors, took the turtle feed on the top of the small fish tank, and fed the turtle inside.

These turtles have now settled down in our home and have become permanent residents of this house, just like the flowers and plants in the living room. Just as Jiang Wei said, this kind of turtle is very easy to raise. They usually stay quietly in the small fish tank without making any noise. All the food put in the tank in the morning will be eaten up. In the afternoon, when the sun turns and the sunlight pours down, they will crawl to the side near the windowsill to bask in the sun for a while.

"Don't be like a certain little kitten. Its bowl is as big as a cat bowl, and it gets full after just a few bites. The Dragon King's sister feeds it dragon milk on time every day, and it has to drink a bottle of milk twice a day, morning and evening..."

"I'm not a kitten!"

Hearing Xiaomo's mumbling to herself, I subconsciously walked over and said, "I don't eat much to begin with..."

"Oh!"

Yin Xiamo, who could clearly sense that I had gotten up, pretended to be surprised and raised her head: "Nuo'er, good morning!"

"morning."

Although I was somewhat dissatisfied with this guy calling me "little cat, little cat", I still walked over and raised my right cheek slightly.

In the morning light, Xiaomo came over with a chuckle and rubbed her left cheek against mine, saying affectionately, "How did you sleep last night?"

"fine?"

I yawned. “I went to bed a little late last night, but Elf Mode should be fine.”

This has become the way Xiaomo and I have agreed upon to greet each other in the morning. The two girls rub their faces against each other and exchange each other's breath. Xiaomo said that this makes them feel like a couple.

"Really."

Hearing what I said, the girl in front of me turned around and said, "Nuo'er, you gave me a slightly different feeling than usual last night. You were like... um, a kitten that fell asleep after smelling catnip? You twisted and turned from time to time."

"What kind of weird metaphor is this..."

I hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Xiaomo about the dream world of the Elf Tree.

"Do you know the fairy world in dreams?"

"The fairy world in the dream?"

The girl in front of him was stunned: "Are you referring to the thing you mentioned to me when you came back from the car?"

"Well, since I awakened the heart of the elves, I seem to be able to stay awake in my dreams. Then... I heard a voice similar to that of a queen in a very beautiful world. She blessed me and said that she was the god of the beginning. Then I... could control the sunrise and sunset of that world. That's all I know for now."

"The God of the Beginning?"

Yin Xiamo showed a thoughtful expression.

"Does Xiaomo know?"

"I don't know. I know the least about the situation of the elves."

The girl shook her head and put away the bag of turtle feed. "I once...had my hands stained with blood for revenge. The elves are a race that advocates peace, loves nature, and respects life. My original elf instinct has been diluted, and I rarely have in-depth exchanges with them. No one nearby used the ability of dreams on you, Nuoer, last night. I can be sure that it was your own dream."

"Do elves dream?"

"Elves can dream. It's better to say that elves are the race that likes to dream the most. Some elves have even evolved the ability to control dreams, but I have never heard of any elves having this kind of dream. Their dreams tend to be more magical, just like Alice in Wonderland."

Yin Xiamo raised her hand and began to help me tidy up my messy hair: "Nuo'er, do you think that dream is a good thing?"

"I……"

I thought about it and said, "I feel like I have seen some incredible knowledge, but at the same time I feel like I have seen nothing. However, the scenery over there is really beautiful. There is a big tree, the biggest tree I have ever seen in my life. Under the tree is the Elf Tree of Life that we planted on Yueerlan Island before."

"Really……"

Yin Xiamo took a small comb and combed my hair to make it smooth. "If Nuo'er likes, you can study the dream carefully in the next few nights. Who knows, you may awaken your incredible ability one day."

"Is this also a kind of magic?"

"This is not magic. This is something that belongs to your soul... something like a gift."

"Isn't it because I have elf genes in my body?"

I asked tentatively, "Has Xiaomo never encountered this situation before?"

"I am a warrior, not a scholar."

Yin Xiamo shook her head: "In the academic field, even I am not omniscient and omnipotent. Of course, if you say you are being bullied, then I am omniscient and omnipotent. As long as it is alive, I will kill it even if it is a god."

"It shouldn't hurt me, right?"

"According to your description, the most likely scenario is that... this is a being from the depths of your soul. It had been sleeping before and woke up recently."

Yin Xiamo continued to help me comb my hair: "Similar situations in other worlds are magic."

"magic?"

"Yes, some people are born with a talent for magic, but they were born in the countryside, have no education, and have no access to such information, so they don't know the existence of magic. One day, due to some opportunity, this person suddenly uses magic. This is a gift from God."

After combing my hair, Yin Xiamo even plucked the hair on top of my head a little higher and smoothed it out twice: "I think it should be harmless, and may even help you. As for what these abilities will become in the future, I can't say for sure."

"Eh?"

I didn’t bother to deal with the ahoge on my head. “I thought Xiaomo had added elf genes to my body so that I could have this dream ability.”

"Just like high-end magic, there are many types of forbidden magic, and the same forbidden magic is also divided into levels."

Yin Xiamo thought about it, as if considering whether to tell me something. After a moment of silence, she said, "Nuo'er should know the forbidden soul spell magic... that is, the forbidden spell that can keep the soul of the dead from dissipating. I asked Filo and the others to get it, right?"

"I know."

I nodded. “What’s the problem with this?”

"This... Filo said that this forbidden spell has always been with the dragon clan. No one has used it. It's not because they don't know how to use it, or can't learn it, but... the conditions for using the soul forbidden spell are insufficient."

"What does insufficient condition mean?"

"It's just that it lacks a target. When it comes to computers in this world, it's just that they're missing parameters."

Yin Xiamo said seriously, "At that time, no one could be the carrier of the soul forbidden spell. According to the elders of the dragon clan, this forbidden spell has been preserved in the dragon clan for nearly a million years. The traces of elements on it can even be traced back to the primitive period of the world. It is very likely a product left over from the birth of the world. At that time, the elders of the dragon clan thought that since no one in the dragon clan had been able to use it for millions of years, they gave it to us. We definitely couldn't use it anyway."

"I never thought that a forbidden spell with a history comparable to the age of the world could be used on the hero."

"In addition, the forbidden spell of life that I learned is the forbidden spell used to create a body for Nuoer. It is also one of the top forbidden spells. Many things are beyond my control. You can simply think of it as creating the most suitable body according to the soul... If possible, I would certainly like to make Nuoer the cutest kitten, but the forbidden spell of life does not allow me to control the composition of this body."

"So... you have been special from the beginning, Noel."

Yin Xiamo patted my shoulder and said, "Look, I chased you from that world to this world. Although you have lost your previous memories, your soul has been preserved. Sometimes I wonder if we had any past lives before we met, such as the records of the Creator God on Earth."

"There is a previous life?"

I almost blurted out, "My previous life's previous life? Isn't this too far away?"

"Right. We can't find out anyway, so we might as well just live our daily lives."

Yin Xiamo gave me a kiss on the cheek: "Just like I still haven't figured out what's so special about the brave hero and Nuo'er, you are my one and only lover in my eyes. We just need to be together every day and slowly experience the world. As for the dream last night, if we really encounter any unexpected situation, I will protect Nuo'er."

Well……

Although I felt unexpectedly safe after hearing Xiaomo say that, I don’t know why I just… feel very unwilling!

Why should I be the one being protected?

"Hmph, I'm glad it's not Mewtwo that you arranged randomly. I'll study it carefully after I'm done with these few days."

I turned around and asked, "Should we wake Dolly and the others up?"

"They were exhausted yesterday. Duoli and Yueyue are not experts in magic, and using forbidden spells consumed a lot of their energy. Let them sleep a little longer."

Yin Xiamo followed and said, "Let's go downstairs and buy breakfast."

So Yueyue isn't a magic expert either? Isn't she said to be that... a high-level magician?

Moreover, I saw that thing exploded after it came into contact with water, it was quite scary, the clothes were almost dry in an instant, if there was someone standing next to it at that time, they would probably be burned to ashes...

"If Xiaomo and the hero in the previous life had a previous life, what would it be like?"

I went to the bathroom to wash up quickly, found an ordinary top and skirt to put on, and Xiaomo and I walked out of the house and took the elevator outside.

"Why, you're suddenly curious about the composition of the world?"

Xiaomo in the elevator rubbed my head and said, "According to my memory, at least in this world... or in this universe, there is no such thing as past lives or reincarnation."

"What about the other world?"

"As far as I know, there isn't one either. The hero's one was just a special case."

At this point, Yin Xiamo was silent for a while, and then added: "It's just based on what I know. After all, I'm not specialized in this area. If Xiao Nuo'er is curious, you can ask the Elf Queen. She is the closest existence to the World Tree, and the World Tree is the closest existence to the origin of the world."

The Elf Queen?

I am also the Elf Queen of the Earth, how come I know nothing?

"Ding dong!"

With the crisp sound of the elevator prompt, Xiaomo and I went down to the bottom of the house and walked along the tree-lined path outside to the back door of the community.

By the way, the flowers of the almond trees and pineapple trees in the community are getting fewer and fewer, and it seems that they will bear fruit soon.

Even some jackfruit trees have begun to bear fruit.

I observed a few larger pineapple trees not far away and could clearly see that they had grown a lot of small pineapples.

The flowers and fruits of this tree are actually similar. The jackfruit flower is a very small white ball with a lot of nectar on it, which attracts all kinds of small animals to pollinate. After the pollination period, the small flower bud will turn into a fruit and then grow bigger little by little.

I remember when I was a kid in the medicinal plant garden, a group of us picked a super big jackfruit. It was bigger than those kids in kindergarten, and several of us couldn’t hold it.

If a jackfruit of this size is left to mature and fall naturally... well.

“Ready to run a marathon?”

"Ah, I'm old now. I can't compare to the young people. When I was young, I often ran. I once won a prize! First place, 28-bar!"

When Xiaomo and I walked out of the community, the old men and women selling vegetables near the back entrance were still bragging and chatting with each other as usual. One of the old men seemed to have seen the various promotions for the marathon outside the community and started talking about his heroic deeds in the past.

"That car is still usable today! But I gave it to my grandson and he didn't like it. He said it was too rustic."

"Hahahaha, young people are like this. I have to say, the leaders of the Minami-nagi district are really persistent. They have been running this marathon for 40 years, right?"

"At least fifty years!"

"Really? Has it been that long? I don't even remember it."

After walking past the elderly and saying hello to the old man and old lady, Yin Xiamo and I stood in the open space on the street outside the community.

"Dolly and Yueyue have breakfast, any suggestions?"

After hesitating for a moment, I turned to the girl next to me: "For example, what does Dolly like, or what kind of food do creatures like cat girls like?"

"I know Dolly. Her mother was our comrade-in-arms. Centaurs are omnivores, just like humans. Little Dolly has just come out to play. She is definitely not a picky eater at her age. But if you want to make something she likes... you can add some vegetables."

Yin Xiamo gestured to the morning tea shop across the street: "For things like rice rolls and dumplings, you can choose leeks and meat filling, or celery and meat filling, or cabbage filling is also OK."

"So that's how it is. It really fits my imagination of a centaur girl."

I nodded. "What about Yueyue? What does the cat girl like? Fish?"

"I don't know much about cat girls. I just remember that cats in different regions have different personalities and eating habits."

Yin Xiamo thought for a moment: "Since Yueyue is the descendant of the hero cat, likes to eat fish, and grew up with Duoli, I guess they have been running to the river a lot since they were young. Duoli eats vegetables and fruits by the river, and Yueyue eats fish and shrimp in the river. If you want to suit the little guy's diet, Nuoer, you can cook some seafood appropriately."

"Oh..."

After roughly understanding their situation, I pointed to the dumpling shop across the street and said, "Let's go buy some shrimp dumplings for Yueyue and some leek and cabbage dumplings for Duoli. Then, let's see if there are any canned fish in the convenience store and buy some street snacks to go back with us."

To be honest, I personally don’t really like canned fish.

It’s not because it doesn’t taste good or it’s too expensive or anything, it’s because canned fish is too difficult to open.

Current canned fish all have a pull ring. First, lift it up, and the other side of the pull ring will be pressed down to create a hole based on the lever principle, and then the pull ring is pulled up with force.

With my current strength, I can’t even open the can without using all my strength.

What scares me the most is the pull ring. If it breaks with a "snap" when I pull it, I will be really at a loss.

But considering it's morning now, there's hardly any seafood to sell, so we can make do with canned food.

Anyway, looking at Yueyue's appearance, she has probably been tortured by the food in the other world for a long time, just like Filo. She should be able to eat most of the food here with relish.

Most cats on Earth do not eat fish because their ancestors lived in the desert where there were no fish. But this is not absolute. Some cats are kept as pets in their owner's home, and the owner is a fisherman. He feeds them every day. If the cats don't eat, they will starve, and the cats will definitely eat fish. Or some cats are abandoned in the city and wander around with nothing to eat. When they see the fish swimming around in the river, they think they are animals and are extremely hungry. If they don't catch them and eat them, the fish will die. Over time, the stray cats in the city have engraved the idea that "things swimming in the river are edible" into their DNA.

Yueyue’s situation is probably similar.

"almost."

Xiaomo and I spent some time buying large and small bags of various breakfasts nearby. I took out my phone and checked the time.

"It's time to go back and wake up those two little guys."
