Chapter 498 My favorite food is—grass (plants).
When Rena heard Elius's voice coming through her headset, her eyes widened instantly, and she glared fiercely at the hacker.

"I'm so sorry, I meant to contact them, but I accidentally picked up your voices too."

The hacker shrugged innocently and apologized, but Rena could tell he did it on purpose!

"You kid..."

Reina was so angry that she was already rubbing her hands together, ready to give the hacker a good "fox scratching its face" lesson.

Sensing the danger, Holder evacuated the danger zone first, while the hacker with the equipment had nowhere to hide.

Fortunately, Liang He spoke up in time, instantly pulling Reina back to her senses.

We have already left the building; please meet us later.

With Elius's help, Liang He and Ling Lu successfully escaped the abandoned building.

As for how he helped... he sat on the back of the black dragon that Elius had transformed into.

Under the cover of night, Elius did not fly rashly to avoid being detected by surveillance, but instead chose to descend slowly, close to the exterior wall of the building.

"Come with me."

Once on the ground, Liang He restored Elius to human form, and the three of them moved nimbly and silently, successfully completing the rescue plan.

After everyone successfully reunited, there was no time for further discussion. They first drove their respective aircraft away from here to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Where are we going now?

Since the headsets provided by the hacker were very useful, everyone decided to continue using them for easy communication on the road.

It's already four or five in the morning. We can't go back to the research institute for the time being, but the existence of the Spirit Deer can't be known to anyone. After all, with so many people around, it's easy for word to leak out.

Come to my place!

Reina, piloting her own aircraft, excitedly offered to help hide the spirit deer, as it would be safe with the protection of the Leonard family.

No need, my uncle just messaged me saying it's all arranged.

The uncle that Holder mentioned was naturally Hoan.

Considering that Huo An knew the entire operation plan and that the Huo family had a close relationship with Ulrik, Liang He declined Reina's offer after careful consideration.

【Then let's go to the place Brother Huo arranged.】

However, Liang He felt that the fewer people who knew the location of the Spirit Deer, the better.

It's not that we don't trust anyone, it's just that this approach is more secure and provides better protection for both parties' safety.

Reina, you've worked hard for a whole day and night, so go home and get some rest. I'll come visit you again in a couple of days.

Liang He decided to let Reina and the hacker leave first, while the remaining four of them would head together to the place arranged by Huo An.

Upon hearing this, Reina felt a moment of disappointment, but she understood Liang He's intention: she didn't want the Leonard family to be involved.

Okay then, be careful, I'll head out at the next intersection.

Even if Rena didn't care, she still had to consider her family. Moreover, Ellitell controlled the Ellitell family, and with the situation still unclear, it would indeed be a problem if they really wanted to take drastic measures against the Reinard family.

As for the hacker, his mission was simply to assist Liang He in rescuing Ling Lu. Now that the mission is complete, it's time for him to retire gracefully.

Okay, see you later.

The hackers were clearly more efficient, bypassing Liang He and his group's aircraft and speeding away until they disappeared from their sight.

After Reina left at the fork in the road, Liang He turned off her headset, and the four of them headed to the place arranged by Huo An.

"Erius, do you have a way to give him a new face?"

Liang He pointed to the spirit deer. It was getting light, and there were quite a few early risers. She was careful not to be seen by anyone.

"It should be possible. I'll try it."

Elius, who never refuses Liang He's requests, begins to try to 'remodel' the spirit deer.

Although Elius cannot transform the spirit deer into other forms, he can still change its facial features.

"Speaking of which, we don't seem to know your name yet?"

Looking at the spirit deer whose features were completely different from before, Liang He raised an eyebrow slightly. It was hard not to suspect that Elius was doing it on purpose. This was no longer the appearance of an ordinary person; it even looked somewhat deformed.

After noticing Liang He's gaze, Elius raised his chin confidently.

"I don't have a name."

The spirit deer used to live in the forest and didn't need a name.

Later, he was captured by a dark wizard for research, but he was only given a code name.

"Can you give me a name?"

When Linglu saw that Liang He was the second person named Liang Jia, she was actually a little envious.

"Of course! Hmm... do you have anything you like?"

Liang He inquired about Ling Lu's preferences, wanting to help him choose a name he liked.

"Does liking... grass count?"

Forgive Linglu for being naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world. She had always stayed in the forest and had never tasted any delicacies; her mind was filled only with grass.

After all, this was the essential food that sustained him as he grew up; without grass, he might have starved to death long ago.

"Of course it counts, as long as it's something you genuinely like."

Liang He never felt there was anything wrong with liking a certain food, just like how some people on Earth would name themselves wheat.

"There's an ancient book on Earth, and there's a sentence in it that's quite suitable for you."

The deer cry out, "You you!" as they eat the wild herbs.

Qin refers to a type of grass.

"How about you name yourself Lu Qin?"

"Deer... Qin?"

Linglu listened to the name Lianghe had given him, repeating it over and over again, becoming happier with each repetition.

"Hmm! Deer antler velvet!"

Seeing Lu Qin finally having her own name, Elius pouted unhappily.

Why is it that he's simply named Xiao Hei, while this stupid deer gets such a nice-sounding name?

"Alright, alright, are you afraid people won't know you're Linglu? What are you shouting for?"

Elius didn't hold back and launched into his sarcastic remarks, unsurprisingly drawing disapproving glances from Liang He.

However, Liang He did not blame him. Instead, she reached out and patted Elius's head to comfort him.

"I...I'm not jealous of him at all."

Elius, who had been successfully appeased, muttered under his breath that he had confessed without Liang He asking him anything.

"Yes, I know. 'Little Black' is my special nickname."

When Elius heard the words "exclusive title" from Liang He's mouth, his eyes lit up, his whole body relaxed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"That's right!"

"Xiao Hei" is a nickname that belongs only to him and her!

Holder, who was in charge of piloting the aircraft, glanced at Elius's changes in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

As expected, the only one who could easily subdue this great demon king was Liang He, who was also the zookeeper.

"Ahem, we're almost there. We might need to be checked. Be careful to disguise yourself."

The place arranged by Huo An was indeed top-notch in terms of security, but it was not very convenient to get in and out.

Fortunately, Huo An had made prior arrangements and had a trustworthy person to meet them. They quickly passed through the checkpoint and headed to the villa area.

"Isn't that the house where Elitaire lives?"
