"Why do you say that?" Qin asked as Gaia's looked at Kai's face closely.

"He didn't avert his eyes, didn't skip a beat while speaking, made no facial expression, and even spoke in a grave tone." Gaia said as the people were confused.

"But that just states that he didn't lie." Qin answered but Kai thought of something else as he narrowed his eyes at Gaia.

'Could it be?' He thought as Gaia suddenly rose in the air and hovered in front of his face. She then stared into his eyes as they started a staring competition.

"Gaia, the elemental ruler of earth. Famous for being the only person to have control over the sacred metal Jaditeal." Kai said out loud as the royal family suddenly looked abashed.

As for Gaia, she averted her gaze and landed back on the ground as she turned back and left. Kai then turned towards Watanabe, Kiana, and Levina with a bitter smile on his face.

"We are going back to the elven capital right now." He said as Qin suddenly lurched forward.

Along with Kai and the girls, she also teleported to the elven capital as the people of the land of the earth wondered whether what Kai had said was true.magic

"Do you really think that the spirit of earth was named Gaia?" Gaia's mother asked as the other three people shook their heads.

She then turned back to look at the rest of the royal family and guards who were standing a respectable distance away and then looked up at the sky.

"Maybe our child really is someone special." She said with a smile as she walked away to find Gaia.

"You should have at least warned me that you were about to teleport so suddenly!" Qin complained as the five of them appeared in front of Laofen's palace.

"I wasn't thinking about bringing you here. Your presence will cause a huge outbreak here." Kai said with a smile as Qin shook her head."I am not going to leave this place unless you train me to be like you and her." Qin said as she pointed at Levina.

"It's fine. You both can train later on but for now, Levina please follow me." Kai instructed as Levina quietly followed him inside the palace.

"While you wait for them, why don't you explore this place with us?" Watanabe asked as Qin nodded and the three women went away.

"Gaia knows everything." Kai said to Levina as soon as they entered the palace.

"Then why is she acting like that. Does she believe that we are dead just like Hela believed that Aizza?" Levina asked as Kai shook his head.

"Except your ears, you still look like how you normally look. Gaia knows who you are. The reason is something else." Kai replied as Levina was even more confused.

,m "Then where are we going now?" She asked as they dashed through the hallways.

"We are going to collect Mariel and Hela before going to see her in private." Kai replied as they found Mariel sitting in her room with red chilies in her hand.

"You eat red chilies in your free time?" Levina asked as she saw the number of the chilies in Mariel's hands. The other girl just shrugged as she looked at Kai's serious face.

"Wait here for a second and let me get Hela. Oh, and you should probably finish those before we leave." He said with a smile before vanishing.

"Hela, I found Gaia." Kai said as soon as he appeared in Hela's room.

The girl was currently poking Lana's ears as she saw them wriggle on her touch. Kai had to admit that the scene was quite cute."You found who?" Hela's hand quickly retracted as she looked at Kai who had a small smile on his face.

"I said that I have found Gaia and she remembers everything but doesn't want to come back. So I want you, Mariel, and Levina to go and talk to her about what is wrong." Kai repeated as Hela's expression turned serious.

"But what about her?" She asked as she gazed down at Lana.

"Don't worry about her. Knowing Gaia, we will probably be back in less than an hour." Kai replied as Hela nodded and stepped forward.

They then teleported back to Mariel's room as Kia then took the three elemental rulers to the land of earth.

The people from the land of earth had already started repairing the broken part of the palace when the group appeared there.

Kai immediately put everyone under an illusion as they walked around the place and entered the palace.

"Are you sure that Gaia knows everything?" Mariel asked while walking as Kai nodded.

"She could tell that I was lying about something." Kai replied as Mariel went silent.

It was impossible to know whether Kia was lying or not unless you knew him for a long time. Everyone who hadn't known Kai for a very long could easily be fooled by his words even though he didn't deliberately do it.

"So then why is she like that?" Mariel asked but someone else spoke up before Kai could answer her.

"It's cause I am tired of things." Gaia stepped in front of the group as all of them were currently standing in an empty hallway.

"You look so… adorable!" Mariel exclaimed as she moved forward and bent down as she hugged the little Gaia.

"Ah! Mariel, you are hurting me, let me go now!" Gaia exclaimed as Mariel stopped hugging her but she immediately started pulling Gaia's cheeks.

The small girl growled a little as she suddenly groped Mariel's breasts. The latter being taken by surprise suddenly pushed Gaia away as the small girl dashed away.

"To be honest, she is cute." Hela commented as Gaia looked at her for the first time and her eyes widened.

"Hela?" She asked as disbelief crept up in her voice. Hela just gave her a small smile as Gaia dashed forward and hugged Hela's leg. The other girl looked abashed before she bent down and hugged Gaia to her chest.

Night slowly came as the Gaia lost herself in Hela's embrace.
