Chapter 514 The Magic of Fruits
Mia nodded, and both of her ears twitched simultaneously.
"Not just butterflies~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xixi caught something out of the corner of her eye.
At the base of a giant tree beside the street, there was something that looked like a squirrel.
It is two sizes larger than the squirrels on Earth, with dark green fur and an exaggeratedly fluffy tail that is bigger than its body, like a cloud.
Moreover, its tail was glowing, like a lantern.
It was sitting on the tree root, holding a fruit the size of a fist, its black bean-like eyes curiously staring at passing tourists.
They are not afraid of people at all.
Zhang Xixi immediately squatted down, raised the selfie stick, and aimed it at it.
"Look, everyone! This little squirrel's tail is glowing!!"
"The way it's holding a fruit and munching on it is so cute!!"
The comments section went crazy again.
"What kind of divine creature is this?!"
"This squirrel-like creature actually has special effects?"
"I have a pet squirrel at home, and I love this little elf so much! Please, streamer, ask if I can buy it? I want to buy it for my squirrel to be its husband!"
The green squirrel took a couple of bites of the unknown fruit, glanced at Zhang Xixi, and then "whoosh," it darted up the tree trunk and disappeared into the foliage.
Zhang Xixi stood up, still reeling from the "cuteness overload," when she saw two white deer with glowing vines wrapped around their antlers quietly walking past the shop entrance on the other side of the street.
A fawn even turned its head and touched the back of a tourist's hand with its wet nose.
This place doesn't seem to be a commercial street.
Instead, it's a three-in-one combination of an elven version of a zoo, a botanical garden, and a magical forest.
"I wish this place were habitable. I'd like to retire here and live a carefree life every day," Zhang Xixi said to the camera.
The skirt had turned into a very pure emerald green.
A comment floated across the screen:
"Your skirt is so green it's like an elf's! Are you going to grow pointy ears, streamer?"
Mia led Zhang Xixi deeper into the Elf Zone.
"Sister, the shops of the Elf race are mainly divided into three categories, meow~"
Mia listened intently as she walked.
"The first category is 'Fruits,' selling all sorts of magical fruits and herbs, meow~"
"The second category is 'Spirit Weaving,' which sells floral jewelry and plant-woven products from the Elven race, meow~"
"The third category is experiential; which one should we go to first?"
Zhang Xixi didn't even think about it.
"Only children make choices; I want it all!"
They arrived at a shop called Fruit Shop, whose decor resembled the interior of an exceptionally thick ancient tree.
The moment Zhang Xixi stepped inside, she felt as if she had entered a tree hollow that was several hundred square meters in size.
This tree hollow is three stories high.
The inner wall has a wood grain texture, and the surface is covered with fine water droplets, making it feel cool and smooth to the touch.
The air was filled with an extremely complex blend of fruity aromas.
It tastes a bit like strawberry, a bit like mango, and has an indescribable, minty coolness in the finish.
The room was filled with stalls selling fruits of all sizes and colors.
The first thing Zhang Xixi saw was a spherical fruit about the size of a fist.
Its entire body is light purple, and its surface is translucent, with liquid flowing inside that can be vaguely seen.
flow.
The juice inside the fruit flows on its own.
"This is called 'Moon Dew Fruit,' meow~" Mia pointed on tiptoe.
"It's one of the most commonly grown fruits among elves, meow~"
Zhang Xixi looked closer and saw that the fruit peel had fine silver lines on its surface, distributed like leaf veins.
You can smell a sweet fragrance even through the peel, with a slight coolness, as if the dew has been transformed into a scent.
"Hello, how much?" Zhang Xixi immediately looked up and called out, her eyes quickly searching for a shop assistant in the dense crowd.
"Moon Dew Fruit, three copper coins per pound."
One of the elf shopkeepers spoke up.
Zhang Xixi turned her head and was stunned for a moment.
The shop assistant was a male elf.
Tall, slender, with sharp shoulder lines.
Her facial features looked as if they had been drawn with a ruler and compass, with soft but not effeminate lines, and her pale green eyes looked as if they were soaking in mint water.
Pointed ears.
Long, pointed ears peeked out from her light golden hair, the tips of which curled slightly upwards.
He wore a light green robe with a subtle vine pattern, and a leaf-shaped brooch with a tiny dewdrop-shaped gem on it that was still faintly glowing.
The elves are twice as good-looking as the best-looking people of the Holy Humans, Dwarves, and Orcs combined.
Zhang Xixi doesn't think so.
That's what hundreds of thousands of people in the live stream felt at the same time.
The barrage of comments instantly turned into a sea of exclamation marks.
"Holy crap, is this face photoshopped???"
"The elves are truly a game-changer... I used to think centaurs and winged people were cool, but now I realize that was just ruggedness. These are what real coolness is!"
"Not just handsome! He's beautiful! He's so beautiful!! Can male elves really be this good-looking?"
"Oh no, the streamer's skirt has turned pink again!"
Zhang Xixi looked down.
The skirt is shifting from emerald green to pink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She frantically told herself to calm down, calm down, calm down.
But the skirt doesn't listen to what the heart says; the skirt only listens to true emotions.
The shop assistant glanced at her dress and smiled slightly.
Zhang Xixi felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.
"How much was it again?"
"Three copper coins per pound."
In order to serve tourists from Daxia, the Terra sales staff had all received instruction manuals from Zhao Gang, which could be considered as training.
Three copper coins.
Thirty yuan.
Zhang Xixi thought she might have misheard.
This fruit looks high-end, and the inside even flows on its own, and it's only thirty yuan?
She immediately took out her money and bought a pound.
Seeing that the scale was still a Da Xia electronic scale, there was a strange sense of incongruity and familiarity.
One jin (500 grams) actually only contains two.
The elf shopkeeper helped pick up the Moon Dew Fruit, and with a gentle twist, the peel automatically split open along the silver lines, blooming into four petals like flower petals.
The pulp inside is gel-like, translucent light purple, with a faint silver sheen.
A rich, sweet aroma instantly spread.
Zhang Xixi used the small wooden fork handed to her by the elf shopkeeper to scoop out a piece and put it in her mouth.
It was cool the moment it entered my mouth.
It's not the kind of cool that's icy; it's the minty coolness that seeps from the tip of your tongue down your throat and into your chest.
Then comes the sweetness, just the right amount of sweetness.
It has no sourness, no astringency, and no other off-flavors; it's just sweet.
As the fruit slid down her throat, Zhang Xixi felt as if she had been thoroughly cleansed, inside and out.
The tension that had been subtly building in my mind suddenly eased.
It wasn't drowsiness, but a sense of clarity.
Like opening the window after a downpour, the air is so clear you can see the outline of the distant mountains; everything is so beautiful.
Her dress slowly changed color.
The color transitions from pink to a soft light blue.
peaceful.
Pure tranquility.
"Family members...this fruit is amazing, I don't know how to describe it."
"It's like... after eating it, I suddenly felt like all my worries disappeared."
"My mind is completely calm."
"It's really comfortable."
