“I don’t believe you!” Bai Ling said with absolute certainty.
The little loli just couldn’t take it anymore.
With a leap, she landed right next to Bai Ling, moving as fast as lightning.
That kind of speed would make her invisible to most people, but in front of Bai Ling, it was nothing special.
Bai Ling reached out a small hand and pressed it right on top of the little loli’s head.
Hmm, the feeling was just right.
The little loli flailed her tiny arms at Bai Ling, but she couldn’t even touch the hem of Bai Ling’s clothes.
“Hmph, human, you think having long arms makes you so great? Let go of me if you dare.” The little loli, unable to reach Bai Ling, tried to threaten her with words.
Bai Ling actually thought about what she said for a second.
In her previous life, she did have guts, but now… heh.
“So what do you think?” Bai Ling didn’t answer directly.
Instead, she smirked and looked at the little loli with a playful expression.
“Uh…” The little loli instantly wilted.
Bai Ling didn’t want to keep going, so she let go of the little loli’s head.
“Alright, who are you?” Only then did Bai Ling remember what she came here to do.
“Hmph, human, that’s a good question.
Since you want to know who I am so badly, I guess I’ll tell you, but you better remember, I am the super invinci—”
“Bonk!!” Before the little loli could finish, Bai Ling knocked her on the head.
“Speak normally!” Bai Ling didn’t like nonsense.
The little loli squatted on the ground, holding her head, looking very wronged.
“Hmph, human, how dare you hit me, don’t you know I am—”
“Bonk!!!” Another knock, right on the same spot as before.
After getting hit twice in the same place, the little loli finally couldn’t take it.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Ugh, human, my name is Green Vine.” The little loli finally didn’t dare act up anymore.
“Green Vine, huh? So why are you here? Where is this place? And why did you appear in the magic circle?” Bai Ling had a lot of questions and confusion.
She wanted answers from this little loli.
“Hmph, you think I’d just submit to your ** so easily? You’re underestimating me.” The little loli got cocky as soon as Bai Ling started asking questions.
But Bai Ling just gave her a look, and she spilled everything.
“Because this is my home, of course I’m here.
All magic elements have their own consciousness, though some are very weak.
But I’m the king among them, so I have self-awareness.
As for why I appeared in the magic circle, it’s because I only show up when the new generation’s healing magic element holder awakens, and I help them become the new king of the magic world.” The little loli spoke proudly, even puffing out her completely flat chest.
“So, you’re really strong then?” Bai Ling didn’t care about anything she just said.
Those questions were just out of curiosity, not because she actually wanted to know.
Isn’t it nice to play dumb? Blissfully ignorant.
Bai Ling was forcing herself to chat with the little loli.
Normally, she didn’t like talking, and now she had no idea how to keep the conversation going when there was nothing to talk about.
She just said something random, not even sure what she was saying anymore.
“Hmph, of course! I’m at least SS-rank, that’s the strongest you humans can get, right?” The little loli was feeling pretty full of herself now, almost floating.
Who wouldn’t be happy to be praised and called strong?
“Then why can’t you even beat me?” Bai Ling’s lips curled into a beautiful smile.
“Uh…” Right, she’s SS-rank, not a mage, but still stronger than mages.
So why couldn’t she even touch Bai Ling’s clothes just now? The speed she used would be too fast for most SS-rank mages to react to, so how did Bai Ling block her with just one hand? Are humans this strong now? Or has she lost her former glory?
She couldn’t figure it out.
The little loli blinked awkwardly.
No matter how many times Bai Ling saw that look, those eyes, she never got tired of it.
Seeing Bai Ling staring at her and not pressing the issue, the little loli finally relaxed.
To avoid bringing it up again, she coughed and changed the subject.
“So who are you? You must be this generation’s healing magic element holder, right?”
“Yeah, my name’s Bai Ling.
I guess you could say I’m this generation’s healing magic element holder.” Bai Ling went back to her usual indifferent self.
That’s the Xiao Ling I know.
“Looks like I was right.
You’re the healing magic element holder this time.
But I’m really curious how you got to the top floor.
There are tons of restrictions on every floor of this tower.
Without enough strength or a strong will, you can’t get up here.
Even if you forced your way through, it shouldn’t have been this easy for you.
How did you do it?” The little loli finally asked what confused her most.
“I already told you, I just walked up.
Your restrictions are just for show, totally useless.” Bai Ling was helpless.
Why wouldn’t she believe the truth?
“Impossible.
My restrictions can’t be broken without at least A-rank magic power, and the higher you go, the stronger you need to be.” The little loli was getting a headache from Bai Ling.
She really couldn’t figure it out.
“Because I’m stronger than you, duh!” Bai Ling was still as indifferent as ever.
She didn’t realize how much her attitude was crushing the little loli.
“No way.” The little loli looked like she was about to break.
“Why not? If it’s impossible, then explain why you couldn’t even grab my clothes just now?” Bai Ling rolled her eyes at her.
“I…” The little loli finally believed it.
Maybe it’s true? But how could a human be this strong right after awakening? In her experience, the strongest newly awakened human was only A-rank.
But how do you explain this one? Stronger than her SS-rank self right after awakening? Is this a joke?
“Do you believe me now?” Bai Ling looked playfully at the little loli, who was a head shorter than her.
“Hmph.” The little loli ignored her, snorted, and turned her head away.
But in her heart, she had already admitted Bai Ling’s strength.
If it’s true, then she’s way too scary.
If she’s already stronger than me right after awakening, then what about my, uh, elf rights in the future?
