After all, in a sense, they have become a family now.
At noon on the fifth day after setting out from Mond, Si Luo and his companions finally arrived at Qingquan Town, not far from the Wolf Territory.
"Let's take a break here today and ask the people in Qingquan Town what happened."
Ying looked at the beautiful town below and the windmills in the town that were very Mondstadt-style, then turned his head to look at Si Luo and made a suggestion.
The abnormal behavior of the wolf pack in the Wolf Territory was first reported by the residents of Qingquan Town. After all, Mond's wolf pack has never left the Wolf Territory and Mingguan Gorge for hundreds of years, so the residents have always lived in peace with them.
It was not until recently that a pack of wolves suddenly appeared near Qingquan Town, which made them alert. After all, after hundreds of years of development, no one knew how many wolf packs there were in the Benlang Territory. If they really wanted to expand their territory, it would definitely be a disaster that could destroy the town.
"Besides, Diona's father seems to live here. Didn't she ask you to bring a letter to her family when she came here?"
"Diona?"
Fischl, who was standing by, suddenly heard a familiar name and a puzzled look appeared on his face.
Although his relationship with Si Luo and the others had made rapid progress in the past few days, Fischl had never talked to him about life, so he didn't know that he had several older sisters who came to Mondstadt before him.
"Yeah... that's true..."
Si Luo was already familiar with meeting parents. After all, he had taken someone else's girl, so naturally he had to get their approval.
"Then let's rest here today. I'll go to Diona's house to visit her family first. Ying, you and Fischl go find a place to stay first."
Although Diona, the tsundere cat-eared loli, has always refused to admit her relationship with him, even when she was raped by him during mating, she would blush and deny what she said after she woke up.
But she was also a typical person who said one thing and did another. Although he was not sure about the specific content of the letter she wrote to her family, Si Luo noticed the shy expression on her face when she handed the letter to him, so he could guess what Diona was thinking to some extent.
No matter what, having a lover is such an important thing, even if Diona doesn't say it explicitly, she will definitely remind her family indirectly.
"Well, is everything okay on your end?"
Ying nodded, then looked at him with a hint of teasing.
"You know, Diona is still a child. If her family knew what you did~"
Si Luo had previously confessed to her about his relationship with the girls in his family, so she also knew what the meowing sound she vaguely heard in the tavern that day meant.
"Don't worry, if I can't even handle something like this, then I won't do such a thing."
Si Luo responded with a chuckle, then lowered his head and gently touched Ying's pink lips.
"And me and me!! You can't be partial!"
"Yes, yes~"
Si Luo touched Paimon's face with amusement, then turned around and looked at Fischl, who looked a little nervous and expectant.
"I'll leave Ying and the others in your care, Fischl~"
If Fischl were to be teased in this situation, it would most likely make this lovely princess angry and embarrassed, so Si Luo did not bully her. Instead, he reached out and hugged the girl's light and soft body. After lightly touching Fischl's soft lips, he spoke gently.
“Don’t…don’t worry!”
This was the first time that Si Luo did such a thing in front of Ying. Fischl almost subconsciously lowered her head and responded with hot cheeks.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Si Luo, the young lady often stayed here when she went on adventures."
"Well, once things are settled here, I will meet you guys as soon as possible."
Si Luo nodded, then released his arms that were holding Fischl, turned around and jumped directly down from a height of several meters.
As for the location of Diona's home, although the girl has left home for some time, her room naturally still retains the unique atmosphere of the girl.
...
Diona's father is the leader of the hunters in Qingquan Town, so the place where he lives is not difficult to find. In addition, due to Si Luo's outstanding appearance, he doesn't even need to locate Diona's breath, and kind old men and women come around to lead the way for him.
There was nothing unexpected about what happened afterwards. Si Luo not only told his neighbors about his relationship with Diona, but also gained their favor.
After all, this is where Diona grew up. The recognition and blessings from the people around her will probably make her happier.
After meeting the alcoholic father that Diona mentioned, the middle-aged hunter with a serious expression finished reading his daughter's letter. Although he was a little repulsive to Si Luo's attitude at first, with his deliberate efforts, in less than half an hour, he patted him on the shoulder and handed over Diona's future to him.
After staying for another hour and declining Duraf's invitation to stay for dinner, Si Luo took the letter given to him by his father-in-law and some prey he had just hunted today, and followed the protection on Ying and the others and walked towards the hotel in Qingquan Town.
"Ok?"
Just halfway through the walk, Si Luo seemed to have noticed something and his gaze suddenly shifted to the southeast of Qingquan Town.
After a slight hesitation, he put away the items in his hand, then changed direction and walked towards a lake in the south of the town.
As one of the lakes with the best water quality in Mond, Qingquan Town is also famous for its spring water. Every year, some chambers of commerce even come here specifically to spend a lot of Mora to buy the spring water here, and then sell it to other countries.
Standing on the edge of the lake, Si Luo lowered his head slightly and saw his own clear reflection through the extremely pure spring water.
"Come out, don't worry, I have no ill intentions, and you should be able to feel that I have the aura of Diona."
After watching quietly for a while, Si Luo, not noticing anything unusual, chuckled and spoke.
In order to confirm the strength of Diona's blessing, he had drunk the sweet dew of the cat-eared loli.
"Diona...I haven't seen that child for a long time..."
Ripples suddenly appeared on the calm lake surface, and then a life form made of water slowly emerged and spoke in a gentle female voice.
"Are you that child?"
"Lovers."
Si Luo responded without hesitation, looking at this water elf-like life form with a faint smile.
"You must be the spring spirit that Diona mentioned that she saw when she was a child."
"The spring water spirit... you can also call it that... I am a pure water spirit. I once came here along the water flow, and then I met that child..."
The pure water elf responded gently, its light body floating slightly in the air, presenting a unique beauty.
"I lost my past memories and most of my powers... So after seeing the child who spoke to me, I chose to stay here..."
I don’t know if it was because of Diona or because the pure water elf didn’t have so many schemes, but she told him her story directly. And I don’t know if it was Si Luo’s illusion, but he always felt that the pure water elf was looking at his face.
"Really? Anyway, as Diona's lover, I am very grateful for your companionship in her childhood and the blessings you bestowed on her."
"No, I should be the one thanking that child..."
The slightly ethereal female voice of the Pure Water Elf sounded again.
"That child was the only one who was willing to communicate with me, so I didn't have to endure loneliness anymore."
"Well... now I have to add you... human, what is your name?"
"Silo."
"Si Luo... I will keep this in mind. I hope you can bring happiness to that child."
The ethereal voice of the pure water elf coupled with the soft female voice is indeed very comfortable.
"It seems that the time has come... My current strength is too weak, and I can't even maintain this form for too long..."
Before Si Luo could respond, the pure water elf's body suddenly began to dissolve, and her voice became weaker.
"no need to worry."
Just as she was about to say goodbye to Si Luo, a hand suddenly touched her body, and then a warm feeling spread from her body.
Chapter 37: Anthropomorphic Elves, Sleeping Together
Si Luo didn't have any extra thoughts. As he said before, he was just simply grateful to the pure water elf for taking care of Diona.
Just like Diona's father Duraf, unless Diona actively requests it, he will not interfere with the other party's life span, but this does not prevent him from ensuring that Diona will not be plagued by diseases for the rest of her life until she dies of old age.
He is not a good person, but correspondingly, he is not a cold-blooded person either.
"This...this is..."
The body of the pure water elf, which had begun to dissolve, solidified again. The abundant energy allowed it to instantly get rid of its weak state. It looked at him with surprised eyes, and there was a hint of different emotion in its voice.
Because in its memory, except for Diona, every human who saw her showed resistance, so it didn't intend to come out to see Si Luo at first, until it saw the other's face, an inexplicable emotion suddenly drove it to emerge from the water.
It is obvious that Silona's charm is enough to transcend species. To the pure water elves, who only have females in the tribe, he is a kind of opposite sex that they have never seen before and has a fatal temptation.
"Hmm... it should be about the same."
Only after the pure water elf's body had completely solidified did Si Luo chuckle and take his hand back.
"You should be free to move now."
According to the information collected in the Mond Library, the pure water elf should be the follower of the previous water god. It gradually lost its power after his disappearance, so he simply modified it slightly and made the water source its source of power.
"Thank you so much…"
The pure water elf floated in the air, its graceful figure drew an arc, and then landed in front of Si Luo again.
"I can feel... my energy is more abundant than ever before... it's as if the spring water here has become the source of my strength..."
The calm voice carried some emotional fluctuations. Looking at the cute look of the pure water elf that wanted to get close to him but was restraining itself, Si Luo chuckled and reached out to touch its head.
"Not only the spring water here, but all water sources will become your source of power."
"Thank you very much... Si Luo..."
"Nothing, so, what are your plans next?"
"I don't know... I've lost a lot of my memories, and all I have left are the memories of being here."
The pure water elf responded calmly, like a coquettish little pet. Two tentacles made of water extended from its body, wrapped around Si Luo's arm, and then gently rubbed his palm.
"Really... then do you want to go meet Diona?"
"Diona?"
"She currently lives in Mondstadt. I think she would be very happy to meet you."
Although this happened when Diona was a child, she should not have forgotten about the spring spirit.
"I want to see Diona too...but...I am like this..."
"This is easy. Why don't you just personify it?"
“Personification…”
"It means changing into a human-like form. I think you can do it."
Si Luo chuckled and spoke.
Although it may be a bit rude, strictly speaking, pure water elves are extremely similar to slimes in some worlds and have strong shaping abilities, so mimicry should be a very common ability.
"Becoming a human..."
The pure water elf hesitated for a moment, then moved a little away from Si Luo, and began to try to mimic him.
What happened next went even more smoothly than Si Luo had expected. In less than a minute, the pure water elf had completed its mimicry and transformed into a posture extremely similar to that of a human.
"Is that so... I seemed to have remembered this method just now, but I have never tried it..."
The beautiful girl with aqua blue hair looked down at her body, then raised her head to look at him with a little trepidation.
"Is there anything strange?"
"Absolutely not!"
Si Luo responded without hesitation, then stretched out his hand curiously and pinched the girl's cheek.
The touch is almost the same as that of the human body, but it is more delicate, which makes him curious whether this body has other functions.
"If I hadn't known this in advance, I probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between you and humans."
"Yeah…"
The girl nodded. Perhaps it was due to the influence of her human form, but her eyes were fixed on Si Luo's face.
"That way it'll be fine."
Si Luo did notice the emotional fluctuations in the girl's eyes, but now was obviously not the time to do that kind of thing, so he temporarily put aside some thoughts, withdrew his hand that was pinching the girl's cheek, and then used energy to condense a blue butterfly.
"I have already set the destination on Diona. She will be responsible for guiding you."
"Um…"
The girl was a little hesitant, but after all, she had never had such an emotion before, so her reason made her suppress the emotions in her heart. After taking the butterfly from Si Luo's hand, she followed its guidance, turned and walked towards the road next to her.
...
After watching the girl's figure disappear from his sight, Si Luo withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked straight towards the hotel where Ying and the others were staying.
