Chapter279-Encountering the Young Girl Again
Although the 5-Element God King wanted to throw a tantrum at this moment, Daniel wasn't wrong in what he said.
Judging by the looks of the Greenwood God King, he must have been utterly infuriated last time when the 5-Element God King escaped with Great Elder Lomont. Otherwise, he wouldn't resort to such tactics to disgust him now.
From the expression of the 5-Element God King, it was clear that the Greenwood God King had succeeded. He had truly managed to disgust him thoroughly.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, the Greenwood God King didn't really say anything bad about you, did he? You can just talk to him directly and clear the air," Daniel suggested.
"That's true. But I'll keep a record of this. I'll make sure he pays for it in the future!" the 5-Element God King said fiercely.
Once the 5-Element God King had mostly calmed down, Daniel signaled for the server to come back in. As a professional, the server naturally sensed that this guest seemed to have some dissatisfaction with the policies of the Greenwood Temple. Thus, upon returning, the server subtly changed the topic, though it was still related to the 5-Element God Realm.
However, this time, the topic left the 5-Element God King at a loss for words.
"In fact, not everyone thinks that way. There are some people in the Greenwood God Realm who feel that the 5-Element God King's actions are quite in line with their ideals. Some even wish to go to the 5-Element God Realm," the server said, furrowing his brow before continuing, "But recently, there seems to be some issue with the teleport array connecting the Greenwood God Realm and the 5-Element God Realm..."
The Greenwood God Realm and the 5-Element God Realm were connected by a teleport array. However, Daniel and his group had not used the teleport array to travel.
Since their strength was formidable, traveling here directly only took a few days. Along the way, they could also gather information about the situation in the Greenwood God Realm.
Another key reason was the trouble caused by the 5-Element God King in the Greenwood God Realm last time. It was likely that the higher-ups of the Greenwood God Realm were already gnashing their teeth in hatred for the 5-Element God King.
If the 5-Element God King's avatar used the teleport array to arrive in the Greenwood God Realm... he would likely be exposed immediately.
Thus, they didn't use the teleport array.
Now, it seemed that the teleport array wasn't just unavailable; there might be a deeper issue. Judging from the server's tone, it wasn't simply a matter of the teleport array being broken.
After resting at the inn for a while, they left, planning to head toward the teleport array.
Since this was still only the outer region of the Greenwood Temple, accessing the inner area required using a small teleport array. Additionally, the teleport array leading to the 5-Element God Realm was located within the inner area.
This led Daniel to speculate that this arrangement wasn't solely for security purposes but also to prevent anyone from the 5-Element God Realm from entering the Greenwood God Realm again.
It was evident that the Greenwood God Realm was now on high alert against the 5-Element God Realm.
Arriving at the mini teleport array in the outer area, Daniel noticed a familiar face—it was the young girl they had encountered at the city gate earlier.
Back then, she had stared at Big White for quite some time. Now, here she was again.
This time, the girl was still staring at Big White.
Big White, no fool, naturally sensed her gaze. Whispering to Daniel, he said, "Dad, I think someone's watching me."
Big White signaled with his eyes toward the direction of the girl.
Daniel noticed this and replied, "It's nothing. She's just looking at you because you're cute. You're acting as if she's planning to do something to you."
At first glance, Daniel could tell that the girl's strength was likely at the Human God rank, and she appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. Moreover, she seemed to possess an interesting talent—the ability to communicate with spirit beasts.
"That girl has someone with her—a rather strong old man, probably at the God Lord rank. He's likely her bodyguard," the 5-Element God King remarked.
Since they had nothing else to do at the moment, they decided to treat this as a way to pass the time.
"It's probably because Big White is particularly adorable, so she's drawn to him," Elise said with a laugh.
"Hehe, Elise-sis, you sure know how to say nice things," Big White replied, grinning.
As they chatted, the girl seemed to be arguing with the elderly man beside her. Moments later, she approached them.
A small bird perched atop her head.
Upon approaching, she greeted them, "Hello, everyone. My name is Cyr."
"Do you need something?" Daniel asked.
"We've met before, haven't we? At the Greenwood Temple's entrance. I really like that little white creature on your shoulder. May I ask what its name is?"
Big White spoke up on his own, "I'm King White!"
This name was something Big White made up on the spot. Since everyone was calling themselves God Kings, why not King White? Dropping the "God" part, he became King White.
Big White's sudden speech startled the girl named Cyr. She hadn't expected a spirit beast to talk.
"King White? Can I call you Whitey?" Cyr asked hesitantly.
"No! You can call me Big White," Big White rejected her outright. Unexpectedly, his made-up name was completely disregarded. It seemed he should have just introduced himself as Big White from the start.
Cyr chuckled, "But you're not big at all!"
"That doesn't matter. I... I'll grow big someday!"
"..."
Soon, Cyr and Big White were chatting and laughing together.
Before long, the elderly man sternly approached and said, "Miss, we must leave now."
Cyr looked reluctant. "I'm sorry, Big White, I have to say goodbye. But I'm happy to have met you. If we meet again, can we be friends?"
"No problem," Big White replied, feeling no animosity toward the unfamiliar girl.
At that moment, the elderly man suddenly said, "Miss, if you like that little creature so much, why not just buy it?"
"Yorton-uncle!" Cyr exclaimed unhappily.
Clearly, the old man's words embarrassed her. At the Greenwood Temple's entrance, she had already stated that she would never do such a thing. How could one use divine stones to snatch a beloved companion?
Every spirit beast shares a bond with its master akin to that of family. How could she bear to take that away?
Back then, Cyr had outright rejected Yorton's suggestion. Yet, here he was, saying it again, and in front of the very people involved! How could he speak so thoughtlessly?
"Friend, you heard what I said. If you're willing, I can offer a very good price," Yorton said to Daniel.
Finding it amusing, Daniel asked, "What price are you offering?"
"I see this spirit beast isn't one for combat, likely more ornamental. Therefore, I'm willing to pay ten times the market value—100,000 divine stones. What do you think?"
Before Daniel could respond, the 5-Element God King burst into laughter.
"Hahaha... Big White is literally the consciousness of an entire world, and he's only worth 100,000 divine stones?

"Oh, this is too funny!"
Unable to resist, the 5-Element God King quickly took out a memory stone to record the scene.
