Chapter 566 - 566 Spider Forest

566 Spider Forest

Huanhuan had just returned to her residence when she saw an elf guard standing at the door.

The elf guard said, “Her Majesty has asked you to come over.”

Huanhuan was confused. “Why does she want me to go over?”

The elf guard followed Her Majesty’s instructions and lied without changing his expression, “Murphy fainted. Her Majesty wants you to go and see him.”

Hearing this, Huanhuan’s heart tightened. “Why did Murphy faint? Is he sick?”

“I don’t know about that.”

“Take me to see him.”

The elf guard brought Huanhuan to the palace.

Huanhuan quickly walked into the bedroom and saw Murphy lying on the bed.

The Elven Queen sat by the bed, her eyes slightly red. She looked rather sad. When she saw Huanhuan, she immediately waved at her. “Come here.”

Huanhuan walked over quickly, her eyes fixed on Murphy. He was pale and lying motionless on the bed. He was obviously unconscious.

She was anxious. “What happened to Murphy? He was fine when he went out. Why did he suddenly become like this?”

“Did Murphy tell you he has a night elf for a younger brother?”

Huanhuan was slightly stunned. “Younger brother? Isn’t Lance the older brother?”

Hearing Lance’s name, the Elven Queen’s eyes flashed with imperceptible disgust.

She stood up. “Murphy needs a quiet environment to rest in. Let’s go out and talk.”

Huanhuan followed her out of the bedroom.

Outside was an exquisite and beautiful small garden. b.u.t.terflies danced in the flowers. The breeze was warm, and the scenery was very beautiful.

The Elven Queen walked to the resting platform. Her long silver dress trailed behind her, making her back look even more graceful and elegant.

She looked at the blooming flowers and spoke elegantly.

“Do you know that among the elves, night elves represent evil and curses? Lance’s descent means that the curse fell on him, so he died not long after he was born.”

Huanhuan listened silently, but she did not agree with the Elven Queen.

The Lance she knew was eccentric and sensitive, but he was definitely not evil.

As for curses, they were even more unfounded.

As she was standing behind the Elven Queen, the Elven Queen did not see the disapproving expression on her face.

The Elven Queen sighed. “I thought that after Lance died, the curse would end there, but I didn’t expect his soul to enter Murphy’s body. This means that the curse brought by Lance has fallen on Murphy. The reason why Murphy suddenly fainted is because of the witch’s curse.”

“So, you mean…”

“If we want to save Murphy, we have to undo the curse. The only way to undo the curse is to go deep into the spider forest and find the spider witch. We have to get her tears and bring them back for Murphy to take.”

The Elven Queen turned around and stared straight at Huanhuan. “My ident.i.ty means I can’t go too far from the Tree of Life. I can only ask you to go to the spider forest to get the tears in my place.”

Huanhuan thought for a moment. “Although I really want to save Murphy, the spider witch you mentioned… Just the name sounds especially fierce. I don’t think I can beat her until she cries.”

The Elven Queen: “…”

The atmosphere was suddenly silent.

After feeling awkward for a few seconds, the Elven Queen spoke again, “Why do you want to beat her up? Shouldn’t normal people think of moving the witch and making her sad when they hear the word ‘tears’?”

Huanhuan asked, “Don’t you think it’s harder to move or upset a witch than to beat her up?”

The Elven Queen was speechless. That made sense. She was dumbfounded now.

The atmosphere was awkward for a few more seconds.

The Elven Queen forced herself to ignore it. She said slowly, “It doesn’t matter if you can’t beat the spider witch. You can rely on your kindness and bravery to move her or make her sad until she cries.”

Huanhuan said slowly, “But I’m neither kind nor brave. What should I do?”

The Elven Queen: “…”

The other party was so honest that she couldn’t retort.

The Elven Queen was a little afraid of this girl’s terrifying verbal skills. She took a deep breath and quickly finished everything she wanted to say.

“Murphy told me that you saved him when you first met, so Murphy and I are convinced that you’re a kind and brave girl. Now that Murphy is in a coma and will probably never wake up, only you can save him. Now, I beg you to help him. As long as you can retrieve the spider witch’s tears and undo the curse on Murphy, I’ll give you my blessing and let you two be lovers.”

Huanhuan thought about it seriously. “Can I refuse?”

“Why?” The Elven Queen couldn’t understand. “Don’t you love him very much? Why aren’t you willing to save him?”

Huanhuan a.n.a.lyzed, “I’m willing to save him, but I’m really no match for the spider witch. Even if I go, I’ll only die. This kind of meaningless sacrifice won’t save Murphy at all. Instead of that, we might as well think of another way.”

“But this is the only way to remove the curse!”

“No, no. I don’t believe in curses. We have to believe in science. Science changes fate.”

“Science?” The Elven Queen thought the word was especially strange. “What is that?”

“That’s a very mysterious thing. You might not be able to understand it in your life. It’s more important for us to save Murphy now. Let’s not talk about this for the time being. If we have time in the future, I’ll introduce you to science and let you explore the mysteries of the universe.”

The Elven Queen: “…”

She could understand every word, but not when they were strung together in sentences.

The Elven Queen frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy. “In the end, the reason you’re unwilling to take the risk to go to the spider forest is that you’re afraid of death, right?”

“Yes, I’m very afraid of death,” Huanhuan admitted bluntly.

She still had to live to be reunited with Bai Di and her family!

The Elven Queen did not expect her to be so shameless and straightforward. For a moment, she did not know what to say about her.

Huanhuan said slowly, “If you really think that the spider witch’s tears can remove the curse, you can send an army to the spider forest. Those elite soldiers under you are much stronger than me. If they face the spider witch, their chances of success will definitely be much higher!”

“But I don’t trust them. I only trust you.”

Huanhuan looked puzzled. “Why?”

“Because you love him!”

“I don’t love him…” Huanhuan blurted out.

The Elven Queen frowned. “Huh?”

“…I mean, if I don’t love him, then that means no one in this world loves him!”

The Elven Queen’s expression softened. “That’s more like it.”

Huanhuan wiped her cold sweat. She had almost let it slip. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and managed to smooth things over at the last minute.
