In the afternoon, we finally saw the forest.

There is a village on the edge of the forest. The village is so big that it could be called a small town.

The village is surrounded by a ring of tree stumps with pointed tops, and there is a large wooden gate on each of the four sides.

This should be Wood Whisper Village; she had seen it on the map in the materials she borrowed from the Adventurers' Guild.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, I was surprised to find it quite lively; I had encountered several horse-drawn carts carrying goods on my journey.

Once inside the village, the roads were quite wide, with shops on both sides, but there were very few pedestrians, mostly children playing.

Even more surprisingly, she actually saw elves!

She has white hair styled in a bun, pointed ears, a tall figure, wears a green short skirt, and carries a bow and arrows on her back.

Diana stared blankly at the elf, who possessed a comforting aura that naturally drew people in.

Seemingly noticing Diana's gaze fixed on her, the elf turned to look.

The two looked at each other, both somewhat surprised.

Diana was astonished by the elf's delicate and beautiful features; she was the most pure and beautiful woman she had ever seen! Her soft features and pale blue eyes made it impossible to look away!

Oh no! It's the feeling of falling in love!

The elves were surprised by Diana's shiny, smooth silver hair, yet her ears were human ears.

She was very puzzled because it was impossible for a human to have such hair color.

For elves, hair is a symbol of lineage, and Diana's pure hair color is something she has only ever seen in royalty!

The elves place great importance on their bloodlines and absolutely forbid their secrets from being revealed!

'Is she mixed race?'

The elf approached and greeted them with a smile.

"Hello! My name is Eve. Are you from Wood Language Village?"

Diana shook her head.

"Hello! My name is Diana, and I come from the east."

Eve pressed on, asking:

Who are your parents? And what are you doing here?

"I'm sorry, I'm being a bit presumptuous by asking you so many questions. I just felt a bit excited because you seem to be one of my kind!"

Diana's mind raced; this was a perfect opportunity to infiltrate the Elven race!

Diana's eyes dimmed, and she said softly:

"I've never met my parents. I've always lived with my grandfather. Everyone says I'm a mixed-breed elf and won't play with me. Only my grandfather likes me. Not long ago, my grandfather... Waaaaah~"

As Diana spoke, large tears began to stream down her face.

Eve felt heartbroken seeing her like that, so she went over, wiped away her tears, and then hugged her.

"It's alright, it's alright, we're safe here now."

Feeling that softness and fragrance, Diana almost broke down and cried even louder!

"I...I just want to find my parents and ask them what I did wrong, why...why did they abandon me! Waaaaah~"

Little White also raised its paw and patted her head, as if to comfort her.

If someone could critique Diana's acting, they'd definitely win an Oscar!

After calming down for a moment, Diana reluctantly left Eve's embrace, looking at the wet patch on Eve's chest, and wiped her nose.

"I'm sorry, Eve, I got your clothes dirty."

Eve took out a handkerchief and wiped Diana's face.

"It's okay, Anna, come home with me, okay?"

Diana looked at Eve with slightly reddened eyes and a hint of disappointment.

"Home? Can I have a home?"

Eve's eyes were a little moist, and she nodded.

Yes! I am! From now on, I will be your family!

And so, Diana successfully won over Eve.

Through conversation, we learned that Eve had come to the village to exchange items. She was trading some herbs and animal furs for salt and spices, which would make the food taste better!

Some elves have no prejudice against humans and often come to the village to exchange for items. Over time, Wood Whisper Village has become a place where merchants frequently visit.

After changing their belongings, Eve led Diana into the forest.

Reaching the edge of the forest, Eve glanced at the little black dog following behind Diana.

"Anna! The forest is dangerous; bringing a horse will easily attract wild animals!"

Diana looked at Little Black.

Little Black seemed to sense something, shook its head, and kept rubbing against Diana, its eyes full of grievance.

Diana patted Little Black's head and confirmed.

"Sister Eve, please take Little Black with you! I'll protect her!"

Eve hadn't expected the horse to be so intelligent, but she still agreed in the end, mainly because she didn't want to upset Anna!

Eve took out a small bag, took out some powder, applied it to Little Black's body, and explained:

"This is powder from the Ethereal Grass, which can eliminate one's own odor!"

Diana expressed her gratitude.

Eve led the way, gradually venturing deeper into the forest.

The deeper you go, the thicker the trees become, and all sorts of unfamiliar plants and animals are everywhere.

Perhaps because Eve had applied the powder of the ethereal herb, she didn't encounter any dangers along the way.

During the shoot, Eve also shot two rabbits, and she killed each of them with a single, precise arrow!

Her arrows were as swift and accurate as lightning, as if they were in sync with her thoughts.

Seeing the rabbit lying on the ground, Eve didn't immediately go forward to pick it up. Instead, she stood quietly in place, closed her eyes, put her hands together, and began to pray silently.

Diana, who was standing nearby, was very puzzled and did not understand why Eve would do this.

"Sister Eve, what are you doing?"

Eve answered with a smile.

"I am grateful to nature for giving us this food, and I also hope that these dead animals can rest in peace and be reborn in a better realm."

Diana also closed her eyes and put her hands together, and Xiaobai followed suit!

Eve was skilled at handling her prey and her cooking skills were superb; the two marinated rabbits were roasted until they smelled incredibly delicious.

Eve watched as Little White gnawed on a rabbit leg, then glanced at Diana, who was also gnawing on a rabbit leg.

"You two really get along well!"

Diana wiped the grease from her lips.

"Sister Eve, its name is Xiaobai, and it's a glutton~"

Little White waved its paws and squeaked in protest!

Eve couldn't help but laugh!

As night fell, Eve gestured for Diana to rest, saying she would keep watch, and then easily climbed a large tree.

The night was uneventful.

We finally arrived at the elf tribe at noon on the second day!

At this moment, the surrounding trees towered into the clouds, enormous in size.

Even more shockingly, the houses were not built on the ground, but rather like bird nests on giant trees.

These wooden houses, like masterpieces of nature, blend seamlessly with the giant trees.

The trees are connected by wooden bridges, making it look like a city floating in the air.

They were discovered as soon as they entered the tribe's territory.

A group of children gathered around, and to Diana's surprise, these elf children all had light green hair.

"Sister Eve, did you bring any candy?"

"Of course~"

Eve took out a bag of candy and distributed it to everyone!

"Okay~"

The children cheered.

At this moment, someone noticed Diana.

"Sister Eve, who is she? Her hair is so beautiful!"

Eve took Diana's hand and introduced her to everyone.

"Her name is Diana, and she's family now. Let's all get along well!"

A boy pointed at Diana's ear.

"She is not our family, he is a human being!"

After the boy reminded them, the children started whispering among themselves.

Eve sensed something was wrong and picked up Diana.

"Anna is a good girl, you mustn't bully her!"

Many children raised their hands in agreement, but a few boys still denied it.

Eve carried Diana toward a tree.

"Anna, don't worry about them. They're just a bit mischievous, but they're all very kind!"

Diana shook her head.

"Sister Eve, I'm fine."

Diana wouldn't stoop to the level of a few little brats, little did she know she was the youngest!
