**Chapter 119: Not Entirely Misunderstood**
She tightly hugged Xu Xiaofeng, an honest outpouring of emotion that also cleverly masked her own emotional mess.
“Little Wind, thank you. Really, thank you so much. Your help has been crucial for me!”
Xu Xiaofeng, caught off guard by the sudden display, awkwardly reciprocated, wrapping her arms around Elia and gently patting her back. “Me too, thank you very much, Sister. We… help each other and move forward together.”
“Exactly! Help each other and move forward together!”
This little exchange was overheard by a guy standing at the door, just about to step in.
He turned around and rushed back to the innermost, highest room to report.
“Did the girl really say that?”
“Yup, absolutely for real.”
“This…,” Ryan started to sweat a bit.
Edward’s orders were to meet requests as much as possible and to cooperate.
But how much is “as much as possible”? That was never clearly stated.
With tensions in the Imperial Capital rising like a loaf of bread in an oven, an all-out feud for the throne could pop off any minute. Sending a golden-haired little girl at this moment clearly meant Edward had something on his mind.
Truthfully, Ryan himself wanted to support Princess Elia more because he thought Prince Isaac was too harsh and lacked flexibility in his governance.
But that’s just his personal thought! Everyone knew the tide was flowing toward Isaac; supporting him was clearly the way things were headed.
“I need to think this over a bit more. Can we find Lord Edward?”
“Can’t. He’s already left Falling Leaf City.”
“Keep searching. It’s not time for direct decisions yet; Lord Edward must have some plans.”
“But what if…”
“Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t.”
“Sorry! I’ll take my leave now.”
“What if?”
Ryan chuckled.
If it truly came to that, playing it safe could be a valid option.
Even though the Dark Moon Knight Order didn’t appear strong on the surface, they had some unique tricks up their sleeves.
Elia and Xu Xiaofeng were jolted back to their seats by a knock at the door.
Ding! NPC Elia Qingyu O’Flie’s affection for you has increased! Your relationship status: Best Friends.
Faced with an abrupt jump in affection of ten thousand points, Xu Xiaofeng was already numb.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long until their relationship flipped to something far more… interesting.
This… could get a tad exciting…
“Little Wind, why are you nosebleeding? Is it because we hugged too long?”
Elia quickly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe it away.
“I’m fine, fine, just need to eat something.” Xu Xiaofeng handed the menu to the guy and ordered him to bring the food quickly.
After he set down the tea and cold dishes, he took the menu and took a quick look.
“Uh…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’ll go prepare!”
He actually wanted to ask why three people would order over ten dishes, but thought better of it.
I mean, it’s the Princess after all; indulging a little makes sense!
Once the guy closed the door and left, Elia turned back to Xu Xiaofeng.
“By the way, Little Wind, what’s your real name? ‘Little Wind’ is nice, but calling you ‘Little Sister’ feels kind of weird.”
“Name… my name.”
This was the second time today Xu Xiaofeng had been asked about her name.
And just like before, she really couldn’t remember…
She started searching her memories carefully.
According to Aslan, I do have a name. But it has a special meaning and shouldn’t be spoken outright.
So how did my previous parents call me?
There was indeed a faint impression, they called me…
called…
Suddenly, a spark of gold flashed in her eyes, and for a brief moment, her memory cleared. She saw a piece of paper with three characters written on it—Yuliya.
Yes! That’s it! That’s how my father and mother called me!
“Okay then, Sister Elia, you can call me Yuliya.”
“Wow, Yuliya, that’s a beautiful name, it represents art!”
“Actually, I don’t know much about art.”
I’m just a layperson who only loves gold.
As she spoke, Xu Xiaofeng glanced around her.
She remembered Aslan saying her name was forbidden and could bring calamity. But it seemed abbreviations were alright.
“But you seem very interested in history. Amelia, give this to Yuliya.”
Amelia took out a scroll from her sleeve. “Here’s what I gathered about the history of the Golden Kingdom. Since it’s been so long, the info isn’t complete; it’s all I have.”
Xu Xiaofeng quickly grabbed the scroll, opened it, and glanced at it.
From the simple info at the beginning, it was indeed the Golden Kingdom she wanted to know more about.
She tucked the scroll into her little bamboo basket. “This is a huge help, thank you!”
Elia looked at the suddenly appearing and then vanishing little bamboo basket, curiously asking, “Is that a spatial item?”
“Yup. A really handy spatial item.”
“This design is so interesting; it seems to have a lot of space.”
“Well… not really, just one cubic, nothing too big. It just suits me.”
Xu Xiaofeng didn’t dare say that her little bamboo basket’s space was practically limitless.
If it weren’t for this kind of subspace being uninhabitable, she would definitely want to travel with an entire nation!
Luckily, Elia dropped the topic of the bamboo basket and moved on to chat about other things.
Little master, there’s still more in this chapter, please click to the next page to keep reading; things get even more exciting!
When the dishes finally hit the table, it was time for a feeding frenzy.
After they finished eating, Elia and Amelia left first.
After playing all morning, the little loli had absorbed enough fun; it was time to get serious and not let the expectations of Sister Yuliya go to waste!
For several days, Xu Xiaofeng—or rather, Yuliya—spent time in the card-draw service.
Although this mechanical task was a bit dull, it wasn’t boring.
Because every day, there were silly netizens and jokesters doing their thing.
Either enjoying others’ antics or becoming the punchline themselves.
But the biggest fun had to be the Fiery Conflict Across the Sky.
This guy was getting a bit obsessed with drawing cards.
Why have I only gotten one purple?! Why!!!
Then, a joker launched a noodle bet, wagering how many purples would come out by the end of Fiery Conflict Across the Sky.
The odds for one purple had already dropped to a pack of noodles.
Yuliya laughed at the fun, but Xu Xiaoyue found it pretty dull and just wanted the pool to wrap up tomorrow.
Because during the event, the little loli had been super busy and couldn’t make a move, just stuck waiting patiently.
It felt like… even though she had found the best strategies, she was just waiting to dive in. And then you tell me that the newbie tutorial can’t be skipped?
I’m already in the second round!
Finally, after enduring the overly long tutorial, she had to sit through another smelly, long plot.
And the craziest part? This plot can’t be skipped either!
As for other players? Honestly, many didn’t have to be glued there every day; they just went about their business.
They could easily catch up through live streams and come back to draw cards when it was almost their turn, then rush off to do their own quests and grind their experience.
Drawing cards and leveling up at the same time—it’s the way to go!
(From now on, she’ll be called Yuliya in-game, and Xu Xiaofeng out of it.)
