1155: Family of Three (2)

Family of Three (2)

Xiu had mentioned that although the growth of an elf's source of life was closely linked to the Tree of Life, improving one's source of life was extremely difficult. The effect of this fruit was better than the potions Shen Yanxiao had concocted to increase her battle aura and magic.2

What bothered her more was the little boy's reaction when he heard that she was buying the fruit.

His reaction was unnatural. It was very likely that he knew the uniqueness of the fruit.

The cute little boy frowned and looked at Shen Yanxiao.

"You have to ask father," the cute little boy said.

Father?

Just as Shen Yanxiao was curious, the door was pushed open.

A young male elf pushed open the door and entered. When he saw the three figures in the room, he was obviously stunned.

"Father!" The moment Tian Bao saw the elf, she immediately pounced over and asked for a hug.

The elf immediately came back to his senses and patted Tian Bao's head.

"This is?" The elf sized up Shen Yanxiao with surprise flashing past his eyes.

"Father, she's our family's guest. Sister bought a lot of fruit so we have money now." Tian Bao placed all the crystal coins in her pocket into her father's hands, as if she was presenting a treasure, and her face was full of smiles.

"Oh, please have a seat," the elf said.

Shen Yanxiao smiled and sat down on a small stool. She had to admit that this family of three was pitifully quite unfortunate.

Tian Bao's father was a handsome elf. However, Shen Yanxiao noticed that his left leg seemed to be disabled as his limp was obvious when he walked.

"I am Yue Xi, may I know your name?" Yue Xi pulled his children to sit down. It was evident that he was very curious about Shen Yanxiao.

Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, "My name is Shen Yanxiao."

"Shen?" Yue Xi was stunned. Something seemed to be flickering in his eyes as his eyes peered into Shen Yanxiao as if he was trying to figure something out.

"I've never seen you before in Fragrant Night City. Are you from another cyan-level city?" Yue Xi asked.

Shen Yanxiao said, "I guess so."

Yue Xi nodded with a thoughtful expression.

"Father, this customer asked why our fruit cannot be placed in the interspatial ring." The elf boy placed his hands on the stool and said.

Yue Xi forced a smile and said, "You must have noticed the uniqueness of our fruit and bought so many. You even specially made a trip here, right?"

Shen Yanxiao nodded. She did not have a bad impression of this family of three. Moreover, Tian Bao seemed to really respect her father. Moreover, they were all elves of the Moonshine Tribe so naturally, Shen Yanxiao was not on guard against them.

Yue Xi said, "I originally did not intend to sell these fruits, but my legs are disabled and I can't do much. There are many things in the tribe and I did not wish to increase the burden on the tribe, so I had Tian Bao attempt to sell some. Unfortunately, fruits are not popular here. I'm not joking here, but you are our first customer."

Shen Yanxiao was surprised, but she soon felt that it was only natural.

Bin Dong previously mentioned that they could harvest fruits at will as long as they paid one crystal coin in Fragrant Night City. Which elf would spend one crystal coin to purchase ten fruits? Moreover, the money the elves in the cyan-level cities had was limited. They were definitely not willing to use their limited amount of coins to buy fruits at such a price.
