With the help of Nanfeng Caoling, the epidemic was quickly brought under control.

"Just now, another batch of southerly grass has matured, and at this rate, the sick people will soon be able to get the antidote." Luo Yao helped grind the last pair of medicines, stood up and stretched his limbs, and then said with a smile.

Nanfeng Caoling smiled slightly and said, "That's good." ”

"What's next for you two?" Luo Yao asked.

"What else can I do? Just listen to it. Nanfeng Grass Spirit said.

"The Protoss asked the Dragon Realm Xingshi for his guilt, and the Dragon Venerable has ordered that the Nine Springs Netherworld Flower Spirit be handed over to the Protoss for disposal." Luo Yao hesitated for a moment, but still told him the news he heard this morning.

The South Wind Grass Spirit was silent for a moment, then asked, "When is the verdict?" ”

"Tomorrow." Luo Yao replied.

"I see." Nanfeng Caoling said lightly.

"Aren't you worried at all?" His reaction was beyond Luo Yao's expectations, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.

Nanfeng Caoling smiled, "There's nothing to worry about, it's a big deal that I'll die with her." ”

Luo Yao raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, he heard a rush of footsteps outside.

"Princess, princess, no." The elven messenger rushed in breathlessly.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yao hurriedly asked.

"Elf King, Elf King, his old man, is dying." The elven messenger said with a slight cry.

Luo Yao was taken aback, "How can this be?" I saw that he was in good spirits two days ago, why didn't he work so suddenly? ”

"Actually, the elf king has always had a heart disease, and he usually can't see it, but this time he suddenly had a seizure, and the doctors in the elf world came to see it, and they all said that he was tired of returning to heaven." The elven messenger said sadly.

Luo Yao was also a little sad.

The elven messenger said, "The elven king has sent me to deliver a message that I want to see you again. ”

"Want to see me?" Luo Yao was a little surprised, she actually only had a few encounters with the Elf King, but she didn't expect him to see her when he was dying.

"Yes." The elven messenger nodded.

"Alright, let's go then." Luo Yao simply packed up his things and followed the messenger to the palace.

The Elven King was lying on a huge bed, his breath faint.

"Father." Qiu Ye held the old elf king's hand and said in a low voice.

The old elf king's lips were closed up and down, as if he was saying something, Qiu Ye leaned over his ears to listen, and vaguely heard two words, "Jie Ran".

He stood up and walked outside.

"Do you really refuse to go in and see him one last time?" Qiu Ye looked at the back of the black-clothed Divine Monarch in front of him with some anger and said, "He was calling you just now." ”

Jie Ran just looked up at the sky and didn't speak.

"I know, you've been blaming him, blaming him for betraying your father. But no matter what, he is your grandfather, and now that he is about to die, even if you lie to him, can't you go in and see him, say a few nice words, and let him leave with peace of mind? Qiu Ye said to him almost in a pleading tone.

"I can't do it." Jie Ran said.

"What's not to be able to do? Is it so difficult to just let you coax an old man? Qiu Ye said with a glare.

"You're not me, so you don't know how hard it is for me." Jie Ran said in a deep voice.

Qiu Ye looked at him for a while, suddenly drew his sword, put it on his neck, and asked, "Are you going?" ”

"Brother Jieran!" Luo Yao happened to arrive at this time, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but shout, and said angrily to Qiu Ye again, "What are you doing?" Why are you holding a sword at my brother Jieran? ”

Qiu Ye also knew that he was reckless, so he snorted and put down his sword.

Jie Ran frowned and said, "Luo Luo, why did you come here?" ”

"The elven king said he wanted to see me." Luo Yao looked at Jie Ran and said, "Brother Jie Ran, did you also come to visit his old man's house?" Let's go in together. ”

Jie Ran was silent, and after a while said, "You go in by yourself, I won't go." ”

Luo Yao went to pull his sleeve, "It's all here, how can you pass through the door and not enter?" Let's go in and take a look, if the Elf King really ......, you will regret it in the future. ”

Jie Ran still didn't speak, but let Luo Yao drag him in.

Coming to the elf king's sickbed, smelling the pungent smell of herbs, and looking at the dry and emaciated old man, although the time spent together was short, Luo Yao couldn't help but feel a trace of sorrow in his heart.

"Elf King," Luo Yao leaned down and said softly, "The epidemic has stabilized, and no one has died in the past few days. You have to get well quickly, the people of the elven world are still waiting for you. ”

The old elf king's eyelids moved, and he slowly opened them, looking at Luo Yao with a kind smile in his eyes.

"Princess," he said with great difficulty, "I have a word that I want to say to you alone. ”

"What about Brother Jieran?" Luo Yao glanced at Jie Ran hesitantly, and the old elf king said, "Xingjun also stay, and the rest of the people will go out." ”

The attendants in the house answered and retreated.

"Princess." The old elf king's lips trembled for a long time before he spit out these two words, but his voice was still very low.

"Say, I'll listen." Luo Yao hurriedly put his ear close to him and said.

"You know, he," the old elf king said as he looked at Jie Ran, "he's my ......."

Seeing that the old elf king was struggling to speak, Luo Yao hurriedly continued, "I already know, Brother Jieran is the son of Concubine Ming, and he is your grandson. ”

The old elf king nodded slightly, and Jie Ran looked at the two of them without speaking.

"Jie Ran, very similar, his, mother, dear." The old elven king gasped for a moment when he said a word, "His, mother, paranoid. I'm worried about him, he's ...... too"

"Are you worried about Brother Jieran?" Luo Yao said.

The old elf king nodded effortlessly.

Luo Yao glanced at Jie Ran, a little bit puzzled by what the old elf king was worried about, but he still comforted, "Don't worry, Brother Jie Ran has a lot of people around him, there are his master Antarctic Immortal Emperor, and friends like me, we will all care about him and take care of him, and we won't let him have anything to do." ”

The old Elf King's lips moved, "I, there's one, please." I don't know, princess, can you, answer, answer, me? ”

Luo Yao hurriedly said, "You said, I will definitely agree to do it." ”

The old elf king stretched out his withered and old hand and grabbed Luo Yao's hand, and Luo Yao hurriedly held his hand. He stretched out his other hand to reach Jie Ran's hand, but Jie Ran stood there motionless, refusing to reach out to hold him.

Luo Yao couldn't look at it, stepped forward and pulled Jie Ran's hand and handed it to the old elf king.

A trace of helplessness appeared on Jie Ran's face, but a smile appeared on the old elf king's face.

The old elf king used all his strength to put the two young hands he was holding together.

Luo Yao and Jie Ran looked at the two of their overlapping palms, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and looked down at the old elf king.

"Princess," the old elf king exhaled, as if returning to the light, and his state was suddenly much better than before, and his words became clearer. "I'd like to ask you to help take care of Jieran. This child is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and has a high guard against people. But I can see that he is different from you, and he only listens to you. ”

He glanced at Jie Ran, and his tone carried the guilt that had lingered for many years, "This kid, I owe him too much." He hates me and doesn't recognize me, it's all right, and I don't blame him. I only hope that he will be safe and sound in the future, and not make stupid and wrong things, and in the end, he will never recover, and he will regret it. ”

Luo Yao frowned when he heard this, "What mistake will Brother Jieran make?" What exactly are you worried about? ”

Jie Ran lowered his gaze and remained silent, and the old elf king looked at him and sighed deeply.

"Your Royal Highness, can you promise me?" The old elven king placed his hand on the overlapping hands of the two of them, and said in a pleading tone, "Help me to take care of him, watch over him, and take him back to the right path when he is about to go astray." ”

The old elf king breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are a good child, although you are young, but you are the cleanest eye and the purest heart I have ever seen. If it were you, I believe you would be able to hold him down. ”

"You want to entrust Brother Jieran to me?" Luo Yao understood a little, but somehow, he suddenly remembered the smile on his eyebrows when Hanchen said that he wanted her to be responsible. When he realized what he was thinking, Luo Yao hurriedly shook his head and drove out those strange thoughts. But in my heart, it was like knocking over the spice bottle, and the five flavors were mixed, and I couldn't get back the taste for a long time.

Seeing that the old Elf King and Jie Ran were looking at him, Luo Yao hurriedly said, "Elf King, don't worry, I have known Brother Jie Ran for so many years, he is like my own brother, if he has anything, I will definitely not stand idly by." ”

When he heard 'like a brother', Jie Ran couldn't help but darken his eyes and turned his head away.

The old elf king spoke again, and he said, "I don't have much time left, so I don't care about any politeness or impoliteness, please don't blame the old man for my rudeness." ”

Luo Yao heard it in a fog, "If you have anything to say, just say it." I'm a junior, so you don't need to be polite to me. ”

"Then I'll tell you straight, old man." The old elf king said solemnly, "Princess, are you willing to marry Jie Ran as your wife?" ”

As soon as these words came out, let alone Luo Yao, even Jie Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Elf King, you, how are you ......" Luo Yao didn't know how to answer for a while, and said with a slightly flushed face.

"Princess, you don't have to reply to me now, you are still young, and you have time to think about it." The old elf king smiled and said, "I bring it up with you now because Jie Ran no longer has any family, and I want to do something for him while my old bones are still alive." Over the years, I owe him so much that I can compensate him a little. ”

He looked at Luo Yao and smiled kindly, "I can see that he likes you very much." It can also be seen that you only have brother and sister affection for him now. Today, I will tear this layer of window paper, and whether the two of you can really come together in the future depends on your fate. ”

"It's been hundreds of thousands of years, and I'm tired." The old elf king looked at Jie Ran reluctantly, then closed his eyes and smiled contentedly, "It's time to go to your grandmother and mother." ”

Jie Ran looked at him straightly, but he still couldn't say a word.

"Father." Qiu Ye walked in at some point and whispered to the old elf king.

"Ye'er," the old elf king opened his eyes with a smile and looked at him, "you have also grown up, and in the future, the elf world will be handed over to you." ”

"Father," Qiu Ye said with a plop on his knees in front of the old elf king's bed, his eyes flushed, "don't worry, the child won't let you down." ”

The old elf king smiled and nodded, looked at the three of them again, and finally closed his eyes in satisfaction.

And then it never opened again.
