Chapter 235 - 143: Teaching the Giant Dragon a Lesson! The Next Recruitment Target Appears?

Chapter 235: Chapter 143: Teaching the Giant Dragon a Lesson! The Next Recruitment Target Appears?

"Wake up!"

Su Xuan shook Mare Rhine awake from her deep sleep, desperate for an answer.

’What in the world did this girl do while I was asleep?’

"What is it, human?"

Mare Rhine slowly opened her crimson Dragon eyes, her response cold and indifferent.

"What did you do while I was asleep?" Su Xuan demanded of Mare Rhine.

"Hmph. I helped you put out the Flame. You should be thanking me, not questioning me so rudely," Mare Rhine retorted, displeased.

"Put out the Flame?"

Hearing this, Su Xuan’s brow furrowed. He pressed on, "Why was there a fire? And how did you put it out?"

"By stomping it out, of course! I even made sure to use my human form so I wouldn’t hurt you. Now, get on your knees and thank me!" Mare Rhine said proudly to Su Xuan, her arms crossed over her chest.

At the same time, her Dragon tail gave a happy little wag behind her.

Su Xuan was rendered speechless by her answer.

’A Giant Dragon, a symbol of destruction, had to stomp out a tiny flame with her foot?’

’Shouldn’t she have been able to just blow it out with a single breath?’

’Looks like you’re itching for a beating!’

"What are you doing, human! Are you trying to rebel?"

"Get down!"

"Human! You...! Let me go!"

(What followed was a scene of the Giant Dragon being taught a lesson. One hundred words omitted...)

「The next afternoon.」

Su Xuan returned home from school and casually tossed his backpack onto the bed.

However, he didn’t log into the game right away. Instead, he picked up his phone to check his WeChat group chat messages.

Group Chat—Elf Squad:

Piggy who loves sweets: I’m all ready! I can leave anytime!

Cute Rabbit: Go for it! With Su Xuan here, you’ll definitely be able to complete this B-Level task!

Piggy who loves sweets: Mhmm!

Colorful Husky: ? Who changed my group nickname?

Su Xuan looked confused. How had his group nickname become "Colorful Husky"?

’It must have been Liu Xue!’

’So mischievous!’

Su Xuan put down his phone and logged into the game.

After entering the game, he saw that Ivsha and the others had been waiting in the Guild for a long time. Only Lucia hadn’t arrived yet.

’Where’s the Holy Maiden?’

"President!"

Just then, Fuli and Flora saw Su Xuan arrive at the Guild and immediately trotted over to him.

"What is it?"

Su Xuan asked the Elf Sisters.

"President, we plan to receive the baptism of the Elf Mother Tree," Fuli replied.

"Mhmm!" Flora also nodded lightly and said, "As long as we receive the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism, our Magic Power will become even purer!"

"Then, we’ll be able to help you better, President!"

Hearing this, Su Xuan smiled, reached out, and gently patted the Elf Sisters’ heads.

"I’ll be looking forward to your performance then!"

"Mhmm!"

"However..."

Fuli and Flora glanced at each other, then looked at Su Xuan and said, "President, the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism might take a full week. We might not be able to come to the Guild for a week."

"A week?"

Su Xuan hadn’t expected the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism to last so long.

’Doesn’t that mean I won’t see these two little ones for a whole week?’

But this was a chance for Fuli and Flora to become stronger, and he certainly wouldn’t let them miss it.

"This is a unique opportunity for you. I won’t let you miss it, you absolutely must go! Of course, if I start to miss you, I’ll come visit you in the Elf Kingdom," Su Xuan said with a smile.

’And while I’m at it, I can also visit their mother...’

"Thank you for your support, President!" Fuli and Flora expressed their gratitude upon hearing Su Xuan agree to let them take a week for the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism.

"So when does the baptism begin?"

"Tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?" Su Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "In that case, it’s perfect. You two little ones can accompany me on a mission to the Elf Kingdom today."

"Okay!"

The Elf Sisters nodded happily.

This time, Su Xuan didn’t plan to bring too many people. Their purpose in going to the Elf Kingdom was simply to rescue the Dark Elves trapped in the Dark Prison.

They would avoid combat if possible.

Therefore, the fewer people, the better.

As for why he was bringing Fuli and Flora, it was naturally to have them act as inside contacts and scout out the Elves’ movements.

Besides them, the only other Guild member he would bring was Mare Rhine.

The White Elf Queen had said there might be a Magic-sealing effect in the Dark Prison, so the physically stronger Mare Rhine was the best choice.

As for Rosaline and the others, Su Xuan left the remaining two D-level Tasks for them to complete. After he returned, they could take on the special commission task to upgrade their D-Level evaluation to D+.

The only thing that puzzled Su Xuan was why Lucia still hadn’t shown up today.

He immediately sent Lucia a message, but the reply he got was: Busy today, will be there tomorrow.

"..."

"The Holy Maiden is certainly a busy woman," Su Xuan muttered to himself, then led Mare Rhine and the Elf Sisters to the Elf Kingdom.

With a flash of white light, Su Xuan arrived in the Elf Kingdom.

As agreed, Liu Xue and the other members would be waiting for him at the statue of the Elf Queen.

Su Xuan walked toward the statue of the Elf Queen. However, as he gazed from afar at this statue symbolizing the Elf Queen’s Holiness, the image of the Dark Elf Queen being conquered by the Holy Light in his Dream Realm last night couldn’t help but surface in his mind.

Utterly beautiful...

"Su Xuan~!"

Liu Xue stood under the statue, waving at him from a distance.

Beside her were the Female Elf Vini and a Centaur Female Warrior.

This Centaur Female Warrior was different from Xu Feiyan’s. Perhaps due to an age difference, her frame wasn’t as large as Azkman’s—her back could probably only carry one girl.

But for a tall guy like Su Xuan, she might seem a bit petite.

Furthermore, this Centaur Female Warrior had crisp, dark green short hair, was clad in heavy armor, and was equipped with a signature long spear, which indeed fit the typical characteristics of a Centaur Warrior.

"Your Highnesses!?"

When Su Xuan reached Liu Xue, the Female Elf Vini immediately curtsied to Fuli and Flora.

"There’s no need for formalities. Please rise," Flora quickly helped Vini up.

"You managed to recruit Elves, too?" Liu Xue’s face showed surprise as she looked at the two Elves beside Su Xuan.

The last time they met was during the special mission against the Slimes, and back then, he only had Ivsha...

Only a short time had passed, and now Su Xuan had two princess-level Elves and a...

Liu Xue stared at Mare Rhine, a flicker of doubt in her clear, dark eyes.

’Is that a Half-Dragon-man?’

"Just good luck."

Su Xuan gave a faint smile, then turned his gaze to Liu Xue’s Centaur Female Warrior. "So this is the Epic-quality Adventurer you recruited?"

"That’s right!"

The moment the Centaur Female Warrior was mentioned, a proud look appeared on Liu Xue’s face. "Sophie possesses the strongest Centaur bloodline! Even though she’s only Level 20, her combat power already surpasses many Level 25 Adventurers!"

"It’s a pleasure to meet you."

Centaur Sophie gave Su Xuan a friendly smile.

"Hello."

Su Xuan smiled in return, then casually asked, "Do you know Azkman?"

"Azkman?" Sophie repeated the name. "She is one of the ten Guardians of our clan. However, some things have happened recently that have made the relationship between our branch and theirs a bit tense."

"May I be so bold as to ask what happened?" Su Xuan’s brow twitched slightly as he inquired of Sophie.

"Well..." Sophie looked at Su Xuan, then back at Liu Xue.

Only after getting a nod from Liu Xue, confirming that Su Xuan was trustworthy, did Sophie speak. "Our clan recently had a member born with a natural Domain. Normally, she would become the next Clan Leader and receive the full support of the clan for her development. However..."

Sophie fell silent for a long moment before she continued slowly, "Her biological traits showed that she did not have a pure Centaur bloodline, so she was exiled from the clan."

"She is not a Centaur, but more like... a Half-human Deer."
