Upon returning to her room, Xia Tong immediately moved the potted camellia plant from the window to the center of her desk.

Xia Tong gently touched the camellia flower.

"Without the Flower Fairy King's presence, the flower is just an ordinary flower. No wonder I couldn't see anything after looking at it all night."

After looking at the flowers, he went back to bed to sleep.

The next day, after Xia Tong woke up and washed up, she went to water the camellia. Although it was just an ordinary flower, she had brought it back after all, so she had to take good care of it.

Then, with a smile, he walked to the dining table, sat down, and said to Xia Mu in the kitchen, "Dad, the jujubes are ready!"

"Good morning, Xiaotong."

Xia Mu looked at Xia Tong's happy face and asked, "Did something happen? Why are you so happy?"

"It's nothing serious."

Xia Tong picked up a loaf of bread from the table, took a bite, and mumbled, "I just have a feeling... something good is going to happen today."

This wasn't just polite talk; it was an intuition that, after last night's chaos, life was heading onto a new and interesting track.

That said, bread is one of the few things that Natsuki makes that isn't bad-tasting.

"Oh, speaking of happy things, the camellia that Wang Ke asked me to grow has bloomed, so it looks like he can take it away today."

Xia Mu glanced at his watch. "He should be here soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia An'an ran downstairs calling out "Brother Wang Ke." She glanced at the food on the dining table, then decisively picked up the milk next to her and started drinking it.

"Dad, I'm leaving!"

As Xia An'an passed by the sofa, she poked Kukuru, who was placed on it, and then ran towards the flower bed.

"Haha, still so energetic." Xia Mu sighed as he watched her leave.

"I'm stuffed."

After finishing her bread, Xia Tong got up and walked towards the door.

"Be careful when playing outside."

"good--"

After leaving home, Xia Tong did not choose to go find Xia An'an, but instead planned where to go for a stroll.

After thinking for a while, Xia Tong headed towards the park, which, in his memory, seemed to be the location of the first season's boss.

What was it called again?

As Xia Tong walked, she pondered, "That's right, it's a ruyi (a type of scepter), and the corresponding flower seems to be the peony."

Xia Tong wasn't worried about running into her. The Elf King seemed to appear in the show in the order of the flowering season, so she wouldn't encounter her again, making it very safe.

In early spring, the streets were still covered with patches of unmelted snow in the shady areas, so—

Xia Tong had just turned a street corner when her foot suddenly slipped, and before she could react, she fell solidly to the ground with a "thud".

"Ouch...that hurts."

He rubbed his sore spot, grimacing as he slowly got up. "Wait, what's that?"

It was that fall that made him acutely aware, as he made intimate contact with the ground, that a familiar energy fluctuation was faintly emanating from beneath the patch of snow that had caused him to slip.

After clearing away the snow, a small, glowing green orb was revealed inside, and touching it revealed a slight warmth.

When Xia Tong picked it up, the small ball of light quickly dimmed and shrank, eventually turning into an oval-shaped seed, about two or three millimeters in size.

"This should be a seed, right?"

The seed lay quietly in Xia Tong's palm, and then he scratched his head with his other hand.

Xia Tong stared at the oval-shaped seed in her palm, feeling the lingering warmth.

He suddenly remembered the familiar aura from the orb of light earlier, and frowned as he pondered, "This feeling... is somewhat similar to Chun's aura from before."

He looked up at the direction of Andromeda Park, then looked down at the seed in his palm.

"Never mind, we can go to the park anytime."

He made a quick decision, carefully putting the seeds away. "It's more important to figure out what you really are first."

When Xia Tong arrived at her doorstep, Xia An'an was still waving goodbye to Wang Ke, who was heading in another direction.

After giving her a brief greeting, Xia Tong took a flowerpot from her own flower garden and returned to her room.

On the desk, the dark brown seed looked unremarkable.

"It shares the same origin as the 'Camellia,' but is somewhat different..."

So he chose to plant the seeds in a flowerpot, thinking that once the seeds sprouted, he would know what they were.

He then placed the flowerpot on the windowsill to keep the camellia company.

However, a short while later, there was a knock on Xia Tong's door, and Xia An'an's voice came from outside: "Xiao Tong..."

Xia Tong scratched her head in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Two minutes later, in Xia An'an's room...

"So you called me here just for something like this?"

Xia Tong looked at Kukuru with a bit of speechlessness.

Kukuru immediately flew to Xia Tong's side, its wings flapping rapidly: "Commoner! What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'? Collecting the Flower Fairy Kings and reconstructing the Flower Codex is a matter of utmost importance concerning the fate of the entire continent of La Belle!"

"But……"

Xia Tong glanced at Chun, who was gracefully floating beside her, and then pointed to Xia An'an, who was holding a new hair clip and smiling happily.

"My older sister has already agreed to help, and Chun is here too. Calling me over feels a bit redundant."

Xia An'an was completely oblivious to the conversation. She was still spinning around gently, touching the new hair clip in her hair, and muttering to herself, "Hehehe, the gift Brother Wang Ke gave me is so cute..."

Kukuru followed Xia Tong's gaze and was so angry he almost fell off the sky.

He suddenly pointed at Xia Tong, almost shouting, "Look at her like that! How can my great cause of revival be entrusted entirely to this lovesick commoner from Earth! Therefore, you, too, are responsible for assisting her!"

"Uh...me? Fight the Flower Fairy King?" Xia Tong pointed to herself, her face clearly saying, "Are you kidding me?"

"It's not about fighting! It's about assisting in taming!"

Kukuru corrected him, crossing his arms and trying to strike a princely pose, "The Elf Kings are peace-loving beings who protect nature; there's no need for fighting! What we need is to communicate with sincerity and strength to gain their approval!"

Chun, standing to the side, nodded slightly, her amber eyes smiling as she looked at Xia Tong: "Kukuru is right. The essence of subjugation is to establish a contract and friendship."

"So what exactly does it take to subdue them?"

"The most basic thing, of course, is knowing their names," Kukuru said, hands on his hips.

"name?"

Xia Tong frowned—it had been too long, and he could no longer remember the names of most of the Elf Kings.

"Kukuru, you should know the names of all the Elf Kings, right?"

Kukuru was momentarily speechless, stammering and unable to utter a word.

Chun couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I heard from other elves that he always skips classes and hasn't even learned elven magic. He's a real idiot prince."

"you……"

Kukuru, his sore spot touched, turned his attention to Xia Tong, "That's why I need your help! First, try to pass Chun's test and guess her name!"

"What are you talking about?" Xia Tong gave him a disdainful look.

"It's for you to guess without knowing the name!"

Kukuru stamped his foot in frustration, then turned to Tsubaki, "Tsubaki, quickly put him to the test!"

"I'm not your fairy, why should I listen to you?" Chun said, hands on her hips, refusing to cooperate at all.

"you……"

"Anyway, as long as we know the other person's name, that should be enough, right?" Xia Tong interrupted their conversation.

"Pretty much, what do you want?" Kukuru looked at him curiously.

"Awakening the hidden aspects of things..."

Xia Tong squatted down and poked at Chun's shadow with his hand. Dark purple light threads floated out from his fingertips and slowly disappeared into her shadow.

"This is dark energy. What are you going to do?"

Kukuru keenly sensed the energy. "You really are a lackey of the dark forces! Stop right now!"

"Let 'she' say her own name."

Xia Tong stood up and looked at him speechlessly, saying, "This is just a simple application of dark magic."

At this moment, the shadow that was originally pressed against the ground suddenly shook, as if it had been injected with life. A spirit that looked like Chun but was surrounded by a gray-black aura crawled out of the shadow.

Kukuru took a step back in fright and shouted, "Are you from Yaga?"

Xia Tong shook her head: "No."

"Then... are you a subordinate of the Dark God?"

"No, not exactly."

"You must be lying!"

Do you have any evidence?

"Then why can you use dark magic?"

Xia Tong was speechless. He scratched his head and said, "Just because it's usable doesn't mean it's evil? Don't you know about elements?"

Seeing that the shadowy figure didn't do anything else after it appeared, Chun said to Xia Tong, "The continent of La Belle is a land of light, and in order to protect the mysterious power, its people have always been fighting against evil forces."

"I know what comes after that."

Xia An'an, who had been engrossed in the hair clip, finally snapped out of her reverie and interjected, "Then a powerful dark force appeared, and the Ancient Spirit Fairy Clan was defeated... Ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, Kukuru kicked him.

Kukuru ignored Xia An'an and pressed Xia Tong for an answer: "Then tell me, what's the deal with the elements?"

"Wind, earth, water, fire, light, darkness..." Xia Tong shrugged and said to him, "Don't you know the basic classification of elements?"

"He doesn't even take magic classes, how would he know anything about this?" Tsubaki added, mercilessly exposing Kukuru's ignorance.

"Don't the continent of La Belle have any flower fairies who are associated with darkness?" Xia Tong asked curiously.

"Yes, there are, but they will be ostracized by the other flower fairies." Chun's tone softened.

Xia Tong thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true; over there, anyone associated with darkness had no human rights.

Forget it, if his sister hadn't been a flower fairy magician, he would never have had anything to do with Labbel in his life.

So Xia Tong said to Kukuru, "I'm too lazy to explain to you. Just consider me a neutral person."
