The Genius Mage

Her entire body was snow-white, making her look especially adorable. Audrey, who had always been calm, could not help but want to pinch the meatball. She had indeed done so.

The meatball felt extremely soft and comfortable to pinch.

“Hmph, you impolite brat, why are you pinching me the moment we meet? It hurts so much.” The meatball jumped up anxiously, his face filled with displeasure.

Audrey retracted her hand and smiled embarrassedly. “How did you appear?”

The otherworldly realm had already given her too many surprises. Audrey was not too shocked by the sudden appearance of meatball. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised.

She had long heard that there were Guardian Elves in the otherworldly realm. Could it be that this meatball was one of them?

“I’ve lived here for tens of thousands of years. I didn’t come out of nowhere.” Meatball snorted coldly, raised his head, and glared at Audrey.

“Then why haven’t I seen you before?” Audrey asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, meatball coughed lightly, seeming a little embarrassed. “This… wasn’t it when the previous owner left? I was injured, so I hid in the depths of the hot spring to recuperate.”

The previous owner?

Audrey frowned slightly. “Who was your previous owner?”

Audrey had always been very curious about who had built the otherworldly realm. She also wanted to understand everything in the otherworldly realm.

However, the answer disappointed Audrey.

“I’m not very sure either. After tens of thousands of years, my memory has become blurry. I only remember that there was such a thing.” Meatball frowned and said in distress.

“Alright.” Audrey sighed.

A complicated look flashed across her deep blue eyes. After a moment, she raised her head. “So, you’ve been staying here all this while. Then, tell me what the otherworldly realm is like.”

“Hmm… the otherworldly realm is a precious place for cultivation. However, this place can not only cultivate, but it can also heal injuries. It can grow flowers, herbs, and herbs three times faster than the outside world.

“Other than that, the otherworldly realm will expand according to the cultivation level of the owner, unlocking more interesting places.”

Meatball continued to speak. Audrey nodded thoughtfully. What it said was more or less the same as what she had guessed.

“There are many, many more. I’ll tell you slowly in the future.”

“By the way, my name is Qilan.”

“Got it, Meatball.” Audrey chuckled as she bent down. The corners of her lips curled up as she teased, “From now on, you’ll be called Meatball.”

What?

Meatball had a look of shock and dissatisfaction. “I’m not Meatball. You’re bullying me.”

“I’m bullying you.” Audrey reached out and pinched Meatball’s cheek. However, no matter how angry Meatball was, he could not touch Audrey.

Having such a cute little Elf, Audrey was also very happy.

Thinking that it was time to leave, Audrey left.

“Audrey, how’s your injury?” Kate immediately came up to ask the moment he left. The concern in his eyes was obvious.

“It’s already healed,” Audrey said casually.

Only then did Kate relax.

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the quiet forest. Kate immediately covered his stomach in embarrassment and looked at Audrey awkwardly.

“We’ve been gone for so long. It’s time for us to rest and eat something.” Audrey looked around and said, “Wait here. I’ll go and hunt some prey.”

As soon as she said that, Audrey had already left.

Soon, she returned with a small wild boar, a pheasant, and some fruits in her hands.

“Audrey, how did you get so much food so quickly?” Kate asked in surprise. How could she see prey in this dark forest?

“Hurry up and start a fire.”

Audrey quickly cleaned up the animals, put them on wooden sticks, and roasted them over the fire. After roasting them for a while, the meat began to sizzle with oil, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.

“Brat, what are you eating? It smells so good. I want to eat it too.” At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in her mind. It was Meatball’s voice.

Audrey was stunned. She had not expected Meatball to have such a connection with the outside world.

“Are you sure you can eat these?” Audrey replied with her mind.

“Of course. I’ve eaten them before. The food in the outside world is really delicious,” Meatball said with a smile.

Audrey was stunned for a moment. She did not find it funny. No wonder Meatball was so fat. It turned out that he was also a glutton. It seemed that his former owner had fed him quite a lot.

“Hurry up and send me some. I haven’t eaten for so many years. I’m dying of hunger,” Meatball said with a pitiful voice.

Audrey chuckled in her heart. Although she did not agree, she still generously cut off a large piece of meat and threw it into the otherworldly realm when Kate was not paying attention.

“It smells so good,” Meatball immediately exclaimed. Audrey could even vaguely hear the sound of it eating meat. It really is a glutton, Audrey thought to herself.

The two of them ate quietly, their thoughts heavy.

Ever since the time of the Red Moon, they had encountered too many dangers in the forest. Now that Klein’s condition was unknown, it was truly a matter of urgency.

“Audrey, what should we do next?” Kate asked worriedly.

“We can only take it one step at a time. We have to think of a way to wake Klein up as soon as possible. His current puppet state is really worrisome,” Audrey replied. By midnight, Klein would become aggressive again. It would not be good if they hurt each other.

Kate nodded.
