Ming Shu's popularity level has increased, and he can probably understand, how can an elf ask a dragon to wear shoes for him?

As for the favorability... Si Ning did not reject him and actually put on his shoes, proving that he was willing.

There was a little conflict between the two, but what Mingshu did was just enough to complete the task.

As for the last line of the progress bar, there is no description, so it is difficult to determine the reason for the increase.

There is no system prompt for this progress bar, and Mingshu didn't even notice when it increased for the first time.

Since it appears on the panel, there must be a reason and purpose, but it is made so mysterious.

It can't be something strange...

Mingshu turned off the system panel, quietly held his sleeves and looked at Si Ning.

Si Ning reached out to rub his cheek again, and gently raised the tip of his chin: "Wait for me here, don't run around." Yesterday, he

let Ming Shu go out to play, and he actually wandered outside for almost a whole day. He didn't come back until it was almost dark.

Mingshu asked, "Are you going to see His Highness?"

He just heard the attendant say that His Highness was still waiting for Si Ning in the front hall.

"Well," Si Ning stood up, took a petal from the small plate on the table, and put it into Mingshu's arms, "Eat more."

He didn't mean to take Mingshu with him, so Mingshu didn't take the initiative to ask.

There were no tasks that needed to be completed in a hurry, so he could sit back and do nothing.

After watching Mingshu sit down, lift up the flower petals and take a small bite, Si Ning turned around and left the dormitory.

He walked through two corridors and came to the front hall in the center of the palace. The door was open and several attendants were waiting outside.

Si Ning walked in, and the people inside raised their heads and immediately put down the tea cups in their hands: "Fifth brother!"

Si Lian stood up to greet him with a smile on his face.

He was wearing a simple white robe, his hair was meticulously tied up with a jade crown, and his temperament was warm and gentle.

Si Ning stood still in front of him, keeping a distance: "Brother."

"You are finally here. Sit down quickly." Si Lian called the attendant to add tea and looked at him, "That new elf you acquired , why didn't you bring it with you?"

Si Ning said slowly: "He ran around and bumped into his second brother yesterday, and he is being locked up by me for reflection."

The expression on Si Lian's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered: "He was just born An elf who has only been a few days old will inevitably become wild-tempered."

He didn't quite believe this, and he couldn't question it face to face, so he could only follow Si Ning and continue.

Si Ning picked up the tea cup and Si Lian added: "Actually, I came here today for this matter. Si Yin came to see me this morning." He glanced at

Si Ning's reaction and continued: "He didn't mean it. , I killed my own elf by mistake, and now I am regretting it. I dare not come to see you."

Si Ning took a sip of tea and said, "Really?" Is half of these words true? He didn't even look at Si Lian, and his side face was covered with a cold light.

Si Lian looked as usual, not feeling embarrassed at all: "So he asked me to come over and explain a few words to you."

He raised his hand to summon his personal attendant, holding two exquisite boxes in his hands.

The attendant placed the boxes on the table and opened them one by one. Si Lian said: "This is a gift of apology. Fifth brother, please accept it. Don't punish your elf again." The box contained some precious items

. Treasures, several luminous pearls and golden coins were stuffed to the brim, as well as a ten thousand-year-old stone ginseng, which is a medicinal material that is extremely beneficial to the practice of dragons.

Si Lian even prepared something for Mingshu. It was an exquisite waistband. The front end was inlaid with fine white gemstones, and a very small and cute bell hung on the side. It would make a faint sound when moved, but it would not make any noise. .

Putting these things together, just to apologize for what happened yesterday is already full of sincerity.

Si Ning glanced at it and looked away: "Thank you, brother."

Si Lian then said a few good words for Si Yin, which probably meant that he had no bad intentions, nor was he deliberately targeting Si Ning and the guardian elf he had finally accepted. .

He wisely did not mention the fact that Si Ning had not formed a contract with Ming Shu. Regardless of whether Si Yin misunderstood or not, his wanton behavior in Si Ning's territory could be regarded as a provocation.

Si Lian spoke carefully and kept his posture low, as if Si Ning was his elder brother and hoped that he would stop arguing with the ignorant Si Yin.

Si Ning was silent and seemed a little absent-minded. Later, Si Lian chatted for a few more words and asked him about coming in to practice spells and incantations, but he only responded perfunctorily.

Si Lian knew that his patience was limited. After the things were delivered and the words were spoken, he got up and left at the right time.

As soon as he left, the attendant came in and asked, "Your Highness, where will these things be stored?"

Si Ning remained silent for a long time before standing up.

He walked to the table, reached out and picked up a luminous pearl from the box.

The snow-white beads are round and shiny, delicate and cool to the touch.

Then Si Ning tightened his palms, and the Night Pearl shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground. A small black insect emerged from the debris, twisted its body and screamed, and evaporated immediately when exposed to the air.

The little bug in this luminous pearl died, and several other pearls also cracked a crack, and the fine smoke that floated out quickly dispersed, leaving no trace.

Insects are hidden in the night pearl, and they are harmful things at first glance. Si Lian personally sent them... Although Si Lian never said that the things came from his warehouse, apart from him, it was Si Yin.

The two highnesses and Si Ning have the same father and mother. Although their relationship is not always the best, they are on the surface harmonious and have not had any major problems.

What's more, the bug died as soon as it was discovered, leaving no evidence. Si Ning was unharmed, and when asked, Si Lian could say he had no knowledge.

When the attendant saw this scene, he was so frightened that he could not stand still on his legs. He trembled and buried his head, fearing that he would be silenced accidentally.

Si Ning looked indifferent, his eyes swept over the residue, and paused for a moment on the gem belt prepared for Mingshu.

"Here, let them make an identical pair." Si Ning looked away and didn't take another look. "Throw away the others." The attendant agreed, carefully picked up

the two boxes, and walked out of the front hall quickly.

-Mingshu

finished eating two petals, drank two drops of dew, and sat by the window waiting for Si Ning to come back.

Si Ning had not been gone for long when a familiar figure appeared at the corner of the corridor. Ming Shu immediately flew over to greet him: "Your Highness."

He was curious as to why His Highness came to Si Ning. Was it because of what happened yesterday?

The plot description has not yet mentioned the relationship between the Dragon Clan's Highnesses, and Mingshu has only met the Second Highness and the Third Highness so far.

He always felt that Si Ning was not close to them, whether it was an illusion or some other reason.

Si Ning raised his hand and let Ming Shu fall into his palm.

Mingshu vaguely smelled a faint fragrance and sniffed the air: "What does it smell like?"

It smelled very sweet, a bit like fresh petals, but it didn't seem like it.

Si Ning just touched the night pearl, there is only a possibility that it is the remains of the pearl.

Mingshu looked curious and did not reject the smell.

Si Ning hesitated for a moment, then took Ming Shu into the dormitory, and took out a luminous pearl from the cabinet in the corner.

The bead was not big, just enough for Ming Shu to hold it. It emitted a faint glow in the dimly lit corner. It looked like the best quality at first glance, and was much more precious than the ones Si Lian sent.

The beads were placed in front of Mingshu. He sat on Si Ning's hand, held them up and smelled them closely: "This is the smell."

The fragrance became stronger, and Mingshu couldn't help but want to take a bite.

He didn't know what kind of bead it was, so he certainly didn't know how precious it was. Since Si Ning gave it to him, it was his.

Mingshu hugged it and gnawed it, and he actually bit off a little bit of powder from the hard surface of the bead.

Mingshu licked his lips: "It's sweet."

Elves were born in nature, and theoretically they could fill their stomachs by eating dirt and stones, but they just didn't taste good.

Perhaps because Mingshu's wings glow, he prefers luminous pearls to the gems and jades inlaid throughout the palace.

He took two more bites, and his arms were suddenly empty.

Si Ning took away the beads: "Don't eat too much.

To him, beads are like snacks and candies, and flower petals are the staple food.

Si Ning put the beads into a small plate on the table and said that Mingshu could be allowed to eat after meals every day. Eat a little bit.

Ming Shu reluctantly said: "Okay..."

But he didn't know that there were only five luminous pearls of this kind in the entire dragon clan. Now they are used as snacks for a guardian elf. What a luxurious and unique thing.

Si Ning didn't care and took Mingshu to the study again.

Mingshu hadn't forgotten what happened yesterday, and the side mission was successfully completed. He stopped running around and stayed by Si Ning's side. , reading with him.

Mingshu sat next to Si Ning, trying to teach himself how to read, trying hard to stare at the crooked symbols on the page.

Si Ning noticed his behavior and deliberately slowed down the movement of turning the book. A little.

But when he looked at Mingshu again, the silver-haired elf had already tilted his head and started looking at the scenery outside the window.

Si Ning turned over a page: "Want to go out to play? "

Mingshu shook his head and cheered up again.

The wind started blowing outside, the leaves rustled, and a corner of the book page was lifted. Mingshu flew over to help hold it down. Other than that

, Si Ning didn't seem to have any need for him. Yes, he is indeed like a dispensable pendant.

I don't know where the meaning of "guarding" from the guardian elf comes from. Is it just to accompany the dragon clan to relieve their boredom? There is

an elf lying in the corner of the book page, and Si Ning is flipping through it. The speed was even slower.

Finally, he put down the book and reached out to grab Mingshu in front of his eyes.

"Boring? Si Ning asked, holding him in vain with his fingertips.

His palms became chairs, and his fingers acted as armrests. Mingshu leaned over and said, "...a little bit." "

The key point is that Si Ning concentrates on reading. He is embarrassed to ask Si Ning to teach him how to read. He doesn't know if the Dragon Clan has the habit and rules of hiring a reading teacher for the elves...

Si Ning looked at Ming Shu's swaying legs and lowered his head. The lowered eyelashes cast a small shadow, looking cold and callous: "Find something to do by yourself. "

The meaning of this seems to mean that Shu has disturbed him, which is indeed the case. The closer Mingshu is, the more times Si Ning looks at him.

So if Mingshu feels bored, he can go out to play. Strictly speaking, They didn't form a contract, so Mingshu didn't have to stay here.

Mingshu was shocked. He originally thought that Si Ning had saved him in time yesterday, cast a new protective spell on him, and personally put on his shoes in the morning. Today, Si Ning's The mentor was not here, so he could get closer to him.

Unexpectedly, Si Ning still disliked him for being in the way... His expression fell a little, he got up from Si Ning's hand, turned around and flew out of the window.

Si Ning frowned slightly. Mei, why do you seem a little unhappy? You didn't even say hello and flew away.

Mingshu just flew a short distance when he received a system prompt.

[The npc's popularity value has been updated, please go to the background to check]

The popularity value has increased 5 o'clock.

Mingshu stopped in mid-air and looked back at the open window of the study.

It was Si Ning who asked him to "find something to do", which had nothing to do with him.

Mingshu continued to fly in the direction of the garden, approaching his destination. Slow down and slow down.

The garden has returned to its previous appearance, and there is no trace of Si Yin's visit. Only the flowers in the flower bed on the edge have changed colors, which proves that what happened here yesterday.

With Si Ning's protective spell on his body, the shadow and fear in Mingshu's heart subsided slightly. He looked around to make sure there was no one else and flew into the garden. The weather was not

bad, so Mingshu walked around a few times and lay by the flower bed to bask in the sun.

Sining Palace There were only a few attendants here, and it was very quiet here with no one to disturb. Mingshu, like yesterday, did not go back at noon and was going to have lunch in the garden. As soon as he stood up, he saw Si Ning standing in front of the corridor.

, looked towards him, not knowing when he arrived.

Si Ning didn't say anything, so Mingshu pretended not to see it, flew to the center of the flower bed, picked a petal, and nibbled on it.

After a while, footsteps sounded behind him. There was also a slight sound of the fabric of clothing rubbing against each other.

Mingshu could no longer pretend not to see it and turned around: "Your Highness. Si

Ning sat on the wooden armchair beside the flower bed and tapped the armrest with his fingers: "Aren't you hungry?" "

Have you forgotten how long you played again?

Mingshu raised the petals in his hand and waved them: "I've eaten them. "

I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but Si Ning's face seemed to have darkened a little.

But he didn't say anything. He just opened his palm, revealing a familiar night pearl.

Mingshu suddenly smelled the sweet fragrance and couldn't help it. He dropped the petals and flew to Si Ning.

Knowing that he wanted to eat, Si Ning stretched out his hand to hold him over, holding the luminous pearl in his other hand and feeding it to him.

Mingshu gnawed it with his hand, knocking off a little of the surface of the luminous pearl. There were almost invisible dents.

Si Ning still refused to let him eat more, and quickly put away the beads.

Ming Shu leaned on his fingertips, and because Si Ning took the initiative to come to the garden to look for him, the previous unhappiness was offset. .

He rubbed Si Ning's fingertips: "Does Your Highness also like me? "

He was very familiar with this kind of cold-faced and soft-hearted attitude, and wanted to take this opportunity to ask Si Ning why he hadn't formed a contract with him yet.

Si Ning asked in return: "You like it? "

He seemed to be unfamiliar with the word Ming Shu said. After all, most of the dragons' love for the guardian elves was not very important, and he had never wanted to raise an elf.

"Isn't it right? "Mingshu whispered, looking at Si Ning with amber eyes.

He stood up and flew close, circled around Si Ning, and kissed him on the side of his face.

The touch was so slight that Si Ning remained silent, and Mingshu followed. She came to him, held his chin, and kissed him on the lips.

Sining's eyelashes trembled, and he subconsciously reached out to grab Mingshu, but he didn't use any force, and Mingshu kissed him again.

Mingshu didn't mean anything else. He was so young now, so of course he couldn't do anything. He just expressed his love to Si Ning out of habit.

They had been together so many times before that kissing had become normal.

Mingshu hugged his fingertips and confessed to him vaguely: "I like Your Highness."

He had said this the first time he met Si Ning, so it didn't matter if he said it again.

Si Ning remained calm and glanced at Mingshu's lips. He had just nibbled on the night pearl, and his lips were red from being licked, making them look softer and more delicate.

He stared for a little longer, his deep eyes just concealed by the shadow of the trees behind him, and finally said nothing.

Mingshu didn't notice. He thought that the closeness just now would increase his favorability. After waiting for a while, he didn't receive any system prompts.

He opened the panel and found that the progress bar without description had increased.

Mingshu was stunned and subconsciously sat upright.

...Is it because of the kiss? But why hasn't the favorability level increased?

He quietly looked at Si Ning and didn't find anything different about him.

Then, another system prompt pops up.

[A new plot update has been detected. Do you want to check it now? ]

[Plot Tips]:

[The relationship between the Fifth Highness and the elf is subtle, but he is very tolerant towards the elf and never treats him badly in all aspects. The elf cannot take the initiative to leave the side of the fifth highness. They can barely maintain the status quo. Sometimes the brothers of His Highness Five would find some clues, and His Highness would even explain to the elves to prevent them from having any objections to the elves. ]

[Originally, the elf thought that the days to come would continue like this, until His Highness the Fifth Prince became stronger and truly showed the power of the bloodline of the abyss dragon, so that he would no longer have to follow His Highness the Fifth Prince to protect him all day long. However, the accident happened suddenly. The elf accidentally overheard the conversation between two dragon clans, saying that the dragon clan needed to protect the elves, and there was another more important reason. 】

【The dragons are naturally powerful. Even if they are slightly less talented in training, they are still much stronger than most races. However, their infancy is too long and they will be exposed to many dangers from the outside before they grow up, so they need the protection of guardian elves. . ]

[In addition, the Dragon Clan is still a cursed race. ]

[The elves not only need to protect the dragons in their childhood, but also need to resist the power of the curse that breaks out for them one day when the dragons become adults, and die on their behalf. This is the meaning of the existence of the guardian elves. Every elf who forms a contract with the dragon clan must die. 】

【After learning the truth, the elf was shocked. He once thought that as long as he protected the Fifth Highness with all his heart and fulfilled his responsibilities, he would be able to "retire" when the Fifth Highness grew up, and he deserved the extended life span in exchange. of remuneration. ]

[But the fact is that no matter how perfect he does, he can't escape his destined fate. ]

[The elf is even more resentful and unwilling, and wants to find a way to get rid of all this. 】

The plot has come to an abrupt end, and no new tasks have been released for the time being.

Some of the details are still different from the actual ones, but they fit in perfectly. Why do powerful dragons need the protection of an elf?

Mingshu was stunned, holding the fingertips in his arms tightly and looking at Si Ning.

So is this the reason why Si Ning didn't form a contract with him?

But in this case... he wouldn't be able to complete his main mission.
