"You damned idiot."

Laireira poured the green potion on her hand, rubbed it evenly in her palm, and rubbed it on his face. She wanted to rub this face that she could rely on in the future.

Qi Huan felt that his face was about to rot. He couldn't see, but he could feel the burning pain from where Laireira rubbed his face.

For the sake of his freedom, he endured it.

His eyes flashed with fear, and his head drooped because of fear.

Laireira's face flashed with a touch of pride.

This idiot is much easier to control than Cinderella.

When Laireira finally finished venting her anger, and her hand withdrew from Qi Huan's face, Qi Huan's face had changed into a different appearance.

The white skin became dark yellow and rough, and the delicate facial features seemed to have been re-sculpted. The originally eye-catching face became ordinary, and because of Laireira's malice, it was even more twisted than an ordinary person's.

Except for the pair of blue eyes, it was like a blue sky without any impurities.

Laireira's eyes were already close to chaos, and they couldn't be compared to it.

His face twisted together, Laireira slapped Qi Huan's body and pushed him out.

"Get out of here, and bring the herbs back before nightfall."

Qi Huan nodded submissively, and when he went out, he completely forgot about her.

Putting the lighter into the bag, Qi Huan put away his cheerful appearance and slipped out of the city gate.

Walking around the surrounding paths, Qi Huan found that there was no one following him, and walked from the nearest path to the Black Forest not far from here.

Many of the herbs were in the Black Forest, and once he got there, it would be the most relaxing time of the day.

Qi Huan's footsteps stepped on the path.

The branches in the bushes quietly climbed to his feet, gently curled up the leaves, and greeted him.

Qi Huan's finger touched them, and the leaves immediately shrunk into a ball.

This was a talent that he had discovered long ago.

Behind each plant lived an elf. Qi Huan could see them and communicate with them since he was young.

He had asked the system before, and the answer he got was that this was not a Goldfinger. It was probably a special talent that had developed after coming to this world due to mutation.

Because this talent wasn't harmful to him, Qi Huan actually liked it.

He was familiar with the surroundings, and the elves got along well with him.

If Qi Huan had to rely on himself to find the herbs, he wouldn't have had much time to wander around. It was thanks to these elves that he was able to quickly find the herbs that he and Laireira needed.

"Elias!" The red-haired elf threw herself into his arms, enjoying the rare time they spent together.

"Aisaya, is there anyone around?" Qi Huan was afraid that he would bump into someone when he was having fun. It wouldn't be good if he scared someone.

Aisaya's eyes darted around before she said, "No."

Qi Huan knew her well. She was obviously guilty of lying. "Aisaya, a liar won't be loved by others."

The red-haired elf pursed her lips unhappily and said angrily, "Fine. Recently, there has been a human coming to hunt occasionally, but he hasn't been here for two days. It can't be that coincidental."

Hunting? Was it a hunter?

"Also, I want you to spend more time with us."

She tugged at Qi Huan's sleeve and said coquettishly, "You didn't want to take me away, so we could only wait for you to come find us."

Qi Huan felt like he was being cheated, but he still hardened his heart and refused. "It's very dangerous for me to be in the city, so I can't take you there yet." Otherwise, his aunt would definitely tear Aisaya's body to shreds.

"I love you so much, but you're always rejecting me." Aisaya's shoulders drooped in disappointment. She then covered her face with her hands, as if she were crying.

"You just expressed your love to me the day before yesterday, and you've changed your mind today. Aisaya, you're a love liar."

Vivian, who was wearing a complicated dress, flew out from the crowd of elves, interrupting his complaints.

"You despicable woman." Aisaya was exposed and immediately flew away from her to express her loyalty to Qi Huan.

Vivian snorted and proudly flew in front of Qi Huan, sitting on his shoulder. "Elias, don't believe that liar, I like you the most."

Her transparent wings fluttered around Qi Huan's ears, tickling his cheeks.

"Thank you, but I don't think I can promise you."

Vivian was annoyed. "Why?"

"Why, Elias?" Dozens of voices sounded in the forest, asking him in unison.

They liked Elias very much and had hoped that he could get rid of that evil aunt and live with them.

"Because God doesn't allow me to use love to deceive his devout people. Of course, I can't deceive you." Qi Huan's expression was very sincere, as if he was a devout believer.

"You're really a devout believer."

Vivian lowered her head and pouted unhappily. "I'm really worried that you'll give yourself to God one day."

"Why would I?" Qi Huan smiled and changed the topic.

The System said, "Heh, men."

Qi Huan felt that there might be a problem with his System. He needed to restore it to its factory settings and do some maintenance.

He was worried about the man who had recently appeared in the Black Forest, but Qi Huan couldn't resist the pleas of the elves. He felt that his luck wasn't that bad, so he decided not to look for other places and just stay in this area.

But before that, he had to find his equipment first.

He walked with the elves to a fork in the road, and the vines blocking the road automatically dispersed, leaving a path for Qi Huan to enter.

At the end of the path was a cave, and there was a set of clothes sewn with fur inside.

Qi Huan put them on, lifted up his skirt and tucked them into his pants.

After putting on the jacket and the furry hat, Qi Huan's entire body was only exposed to his eyes.

After dressing himself up as a furry person, Qi Huan finally felt a sense of security. His bright blue eyes scanned the lively scenery around him, and Qi Huan happily rushed to the place where he usually harvested herbs.

Dividing the basket into two layers, he first found the herbs he needed and stuffed them into the basket one by one. Qi Huan then walked deeper into the forest.

The deeper he went, the more thorny branches there were, which was why Qi Huan put on a layer of fur.

The elves in the forest would open the door for him and try not to scratch his overly fragile skin, but this wasn't the reason why he let them break through their limits and distort his body into a handicapped person.

The further he went, the more luxuriant the forest grew, and the closer the trees were to each other. Many of the branches couldn't be controlled by the elves themselves, so Qi Huan put on a layer of fur to help him block these uncontrollable injuries.

The sunlight was blocked by the trees, and only a few rays of light leaked through the cracks.

The elves spread their wings, and a green light shone in the darkness, guiding Qi Huan forward.

He wanted to give them a thumbs up, but he could only wave his round right hand in the air.

Putting down his arm regretfully, Qi Huan wasn't worried about any danger here at all.

With these elves watching over him, he was absolutely safe in the forest.

A sharp arrow pierced through the leaves with the wind and brushed past his cheek.

Qi Huan, "…"

Covering his torn cloth, Qi Huan looked in the direction of the arrow.

"Sorry, I thought it was my escaped prey." The man's voice sounded in the dark forest, and it sounded even more sexy and deep.

Vivian's face blushed, and she lowered her head guiltily when she met Qi Huan's gaze.

"Elias, I still like you the most." She hurriedly expressed her loyalty.

Isaiah laughed heartily, mocking her earlier accusation.

Qi Huan covered his face, not letting the cloth covering his face fall.

He didn't dare to run now, or else it would seem like he had a guilty conscience. He just hoped that the person opposite him wouldn't think too much and pursue the matter too much, seeing that she had almost hurt him.

The man gradually walked closer, and his boots creaked on the thick leaves. When his full appearance was revealed, Vivian, who had just promised, gasped.

He was really too good-looking.

His short silver hair looked like stars in the sky under the mottled sunlight. His face was handsome, his posture was tall, and his thick eyebrows and cold temperament added a hint of sternness to him.

The most attractive thing was his blue eyes. They were different from Qi Huan's blue eyes. The blue of the person's eyes was lighter, like a frozen lake in winter. When those eyes swept over, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Are you okay?"

Even after seeing Qi Huan's strange outfit, the person's expression didn't change at all. He even had the mood to explain why he had shot the arrow just now. "My prey accidentally escaped from my tracking range, and I heard the movement here, so I shot over." After saying that, he showed him the bow in his hand and the quiver on his back.

Hehe, do you think you're Brother Frog? Even so, he's not Little Swallow.

Qi Huan silently complained in his heart. Adhering to the principle of less trouble, he said very generously, "It's okay, I'm not injured."

He used a male voice outside, so even if he accidentally revealed his face, his real identity wouldn't be discovered.

"You're here?" The man's gaze searched his back, and he frowned when he noticed the basket in his hand.

"Someone in my family is sick, so I came to pick some medicine." He didn't lie. Laireira was a bit neurotic and needed some medicine to treat it.
