Wang Hu then discovered that Song Yiran also seemed to be bound to a system.
She worried it might be an irregular system, so instructed him not to respond to it yet.
She had already sent 554 to investigate; results would come soon.
Shortly, 554 appeared in the palace—a mystical black-and-gold parrot.
It landed on Wang Hu’s shoulder, bringing good news.
“I’m back! I’ve found it—he’s bound to the History Department’s system 555, and his task aligns with the department’s assignments for 555!”
Wang Hu patted 554’s head and handed a small bag of melon seeds. “Good work!”
“Hehe~ you’re welcome~” 554 grabbed the bag with its claw and nuzzled Wang Hu’s neck affectionately.
Wang Hu reached out and ruffled Song Yiran’s hair. “Okay, now you can talk to your system.”
She then returned to the throne with 554, and Celeste stood by her side.
After multiple verifications, Song Yiran was finally allowed to communicate with Xiao Zhong’er.
He hurriedly reported to Xiao Zhong’er that he was safe. But after a few words, Xiao Zhong’er said Song Yutu and Su’er had started fighting.
No matter how he called afterward, Xiao Zhong’er didn’t respond.
After a while, Xiao Zhong’er finally replied.
These were all the events that happened while Song Yiran had been taken by Su’er.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhong’er was left with one thought: “Wow! What an eventful adventure!”
“Song Yiran, we’re almost there! Remember to welcome us~” Xiao Zhong’er sounded excited.
Song Yiran was about to respond when suddenly, a large vine dome appeared in the center of the palace.
When the vines receded, Su’er and Xiao Zhong’er emerged inside.
So fast!
Song Yiran was shocked by Su’er’s speed. Was this the power of elf magic? Incredible!
Wait—something’s wrong!
Why were Song Yutu and the other kids wrapped like caterpillars, except Xiao Zhong’er?
Song Yutu was wrapped in flowing water like a giant caterpillar, only an orange-red head visible.
Seeing Song Yiran, he struggled even harder, wriggling toward him on the floor.
The other kids were wrapped in vines as little caterpillars, mimicking Song Yutu as they wriggled toward Song Yiran.
Song Yutu shouted with all his might, “Brother! Su’er is bullying me! She first tied me with vines, then I burned them, and she kept chasing me! Then she brought us all here!”
He didn’t care about his pride, “Waaah! Brother, you must stand up for me!”
Xiao Zhong’er was confused by Song Yutu’s antics. That didn’t seem right—he remembered explaining that Song Yiran was safe and in the palace.
This confirmed that Su’er’s story wasn’t false.
They reconciled, and Su’er brought them to the palace. During the journey, Song Yutu seemed fine.
But as they neared the palace, Song Yutu suddenly attacked Su’er, who summoned water to wrap him like a caterpillar.
Why the other kids were also wrapped in vines? Su’er feared they wouldn’t cooperate either, so she applied a one-size-fits-all solution.
Originally, Xiao Zhong’er was also at risk, but he was very persuasive.
“Hehe~ good sister, I promise I won’t move! I’ll follow your instructions completely. You can take me anywhere, I won’t say a word out of line!”
Thus, Xiao Zhong’er avoided being wrapped.
Meanwhile, Song Yutu writhed on the ground, dramatically exaggerating his grievances.
“Brother! You have to stand up for me! Sul is going too far—she’s bullying us just because you weren’t here!”
Sul couldn’t help defending herself: “First of all, I never intended to attack you. You were the one who attacked me first.”
“That’s only because you took Brother away! If you hadn’t taken him, would I have attacked you? I don’t attack people for no reason!”
Hearing this, Song Yutu got angry—it wasn’t his fault that these people secretly took Brother away!
“I was only following His Majesty’s orders.”
Song Yutu rolled his eyes. “Alright, alright! You really love your Majesty, don’t you? You’re the most loyal minister, right?”
“Your Majesty is His Majesty, but my Brother is my Brother! How dare you kidnap him over a disagreement?”
What’s this? Does a commoner’s life not matter? Do commoners not have rights? Does the Elf King get to do whatever she wants?
Sul explained, “It doesn’t count as kidnapping. I only brought him to the palace so he could meet His Majesty.”
Song Yutu realized—the culprit was the Elf King!
He struggled on the ground, rolling over and turning to face the Elf King on her throne with his head.
“Almost forgot about you! You’re supposed to be the Elf King, so why are you acting so sneaky? If you wanted to see my Brother, you could have just let us into the palace. Why send someone to kidnap him?”
Celeste summoned sharp ice shards, their glittering tips pressing against Song Yutu’s forehead, as if ready to pierce his head at any moment.
Her gaze was sharp, like a predator studying prey. “Watch your words.”
Song Yutu lowered his eyelids to cover his eyes. “Hah. The mighty Elf King… acts like this?”
He lifted his eyes and gave Wang Hu on the throne a mocking smile. “You really are…”
Song Yiran stepped forward and covered Song Yutu’s mouth, then looked at Wang Hu. “Sister, let Sul release them. They only acted rashly.”
Wang Hu, having watched the scene from her high seat, finally spoke to mediate: “Alright, Sul, let them go.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Sul obediently withdrew the water and vines.
The kids were finally free and swarmed to Song Yiran like little shadows.
Everything that had just happened was so sudden they still didn’t understand what was going on.
Celeste withdrew her ice shards and returned to being part of the scenery.
Song Yutu was completely free now, but his mind was frozen.
What did Brother just call the Elf King?
Sister?
Sister?!
The Elf King is Brother’s sister??
So he had almost insulted Brother’s sister?
He almost insulted Brother’s sister!!
QAQ What had he just done? Would Brother hate him now because of this?
If it weren’t for… he wouldn’t have done such a thoughtless thing in the first place!
Song Yutu scrambled to his feet and switched to a flattering expression.
“Oh! Actually, I’ve been meaning to say this—Your Majesty, the Elf King, is truly dignified, extraordinary, and majestic! So talented and elegant!”
“Your presence is awe-inspiring! You are the pillar of Karen Empire! I really admire you, Your Majesty!”
Wang Hu, feeling playful, teased him: “Oh? Weren’t you just criticizing my methods?”
“Well, actually, I wanted to praise your methods! Your approach is something I should learn from—you are my role model!”
Song Yutu racked his brain for reasons, forcing a smooth explanation.
Song Yiran watched in awe—he had never seen Song Yutu flip his attitude so quickly.
His skill in switching faces was incredible, rivaling Xiao Zhong’er’s.
Xiao Zhong’er guessed what Song Yiran was thinking from his expression and whispered: “Song Yiran, what you’re thinking is a bit impolite!”
“This isn’t flipping faces, it’s knowing how to read the situation!” Song Yiran muttered to himself.
(This was just a nicer way of saying the same thing.)
He didn’t dare say it aloud in front of Xiao Zhong’er—he’d turn red with anger if he did.
Song Yiran stepped in front of Song Yutu: “Alright, Sister, don’t tease him anymore. He’s still young!”
Song Yutu was overwhelmed with emotion. Sniff, sniff… Brother is too kind!
Wang Hu frowned at Song Yutu. Young? He’s clearly an adult.
Song Yiran’s “lens” was way too generous, calling him a child.
But whatever—she wasn’t a bad person. Continuing to tease him would be boring.
“Fine, this was my oversight. I’ll make it up to you.”
Wang Hu arranged a resting area in the palace for them and summoned robots to escort them.
Before leaving, Sul apologized and promised to continue guiding their tour of Karen Empire tomorrow, entirely free.
The robots brought Song Yiran and the others to a corridor. On one side were eleven rooms connected in a row, easy for visiting each other. On the other side was a huge lounge for about twenty people.
Song Yiran first brought Xiao Zhong’er and the younger brothers to the lounge, checked Song Yutu for injuries, then examined all the kids one by one.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.
Then Song Yiran told the kids what had happened—of course leaving out anything related to the system.
“So, she is Brother’s friend and also his sister. You all came from the same hometown and later traveled across the stars, and she arrived here and became the Elf King.”
“The Elf King has encountered many people pretending to be her relatives, so she’s cautious. She only brought you over secretly to confirm your identity.”
Song Yutu summarized after hearing the story.
Song Yiran nodded, a little guilty.
Song Yutu stayed silent, leaning back in a chair to contemplate life.
Meanwhile, the kids had a lot to say, chattering around Song Yiran.
“At first, Tutu suddenly attacked Sister Sul, and she tied him up with vines!”
“Yeah! Then we realized you were gone, so we tried to find you, but Tutu told us to run.”
“Right, and Fifth Brother was tied into a ball by Sister Sul! Then Tutu set the vines on fire and used his tail to wrap us up and escape.”
“Fifth Brother was with us then—Tutu held him in his arms!”
“Then Tutu ran with us, and Sister Sul chased us, later…”
