Chapter 286: Chapter 184: Traces of the Life Giant Dragon! You’ll Bully Her With Me, Right?

However, there was no need to rush this task.

After all, finding a Life Giant Dragon wasn’t going to be easy.

Su Xuan turned to Mare Rhine and asked in a low voice, "Can we find the Giant Dragon’s location from this information?"

"Not yet. This little thing needs some more time to recover."

Mare Rhine gently shook her head and placed the Dragon Scale back in Viora’s arms.

She muttered to herself, "Mira, since you haven’t entered the Divine Realm yet, I’ll have the chance to end your life with my own hands."

"No! I won’t let you have such an easy death," Mare Rhine’s voice grew colder. "I’ll tear your disgusting body to shreds, and I’ll smash those two... into a pulp!"

...

Su Xuan gently rubbed the tip of his nose and said to Mare Rhine, "Let’s head out for now. We should let them rest."

While walking toward the door, Mare Rhine glanced back to confirm with Su Xuan, "Human, you’ll be on my side and help me teach that Mira a lesson, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, of course."

Su Xuan replied nonchalantly. He turned to leave Alice’s room, flicking off the light they had left on.

However, the instant his finger touched the switch, he froze.

He noticed that in the dim light, a brilliant Seven-Color Rainbow Light was radiating from Viora’s body, as dazzling as a neon sign.

"Is this... also an effect of the Seven-Color Rainbow Light?"

Su Xuan murmured, then gently closed the door.

After returning to his bedroom, he drifted off to sleep to the sound of Mare Rhine’s stifled giggles.

Within the Dream Realm, he met the Elf Queen, just as he had hoped.

But...

This wasn’t the White Elf Queen he had been longing to see, but the true Elf Queen.

The moment Su Xuan stepped into the Dream Realm, the Elf Queen’s gaze immediately fell upon him. Hidden within her noble and gentle eyes was a trace of imperceptible coldness.

"Queen, it’s been a while." Su Xuan managed to force a smile.

The words had barely left his mouth when the Elf Queen strode up to Su Xuan. Her azure eyes bored into his, as if trying to uncover some secret hidden within his gaze.

"What is it?" Su Xuan took an involuntary step back, asking in confusion.

The Elf Queen’s voice was as calm as still water, yet it carried an undeniable seriousness. "Have you... recently set foot in the territory of the Elf Kingdom?"

Su Xuan’s heart sank. He hesitated, not answering immediately.

’Did the Elf Queen find out that I rescued the Dark Elves?’

"That’s enough. You don’t have to answer. Your reaction has already told me everything."

The Elf Queen shot Su Xuan a glance, then turned away and murmured to herself, "It seems Alina wasn’t truthful with me."

"Alina?" Su Xuan’s expression darkened instantly.

’Does the Elf Queen also know that Alina helped me escape the Elf Kingdom?’

’This is bad, this is very bad!’

’Looks like I’m about to face the Elf Queen’s wrath!’

"Queen, about those Dark Elves..."

Just as Su Xuan started to explain, the Elf Queen cut him off. "They escaped. I don’t know how they managed it, but since they’re gone, let’s just leave it at that."

?

Su Xuan was stunned by the Elf Queen’s words.

’So she wasn’t angry about the Dark Elves? Then what...?’

"She helped you with the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism?" the Elf Queen suddenly asked, interrupting Su Xuan’s train of thought.

"Yes." Su Xuan nodded.

"In that case, let’s continue." With a light wave of her hand, the Elf Queen made the stairway leading into the Elf Mother Tree reappear. "Follow me."

"Alright." Su Xuan agreed, following close behind the Elf Queen.

In the blink of an eye, Su Xuan stepped inside the Elf Mother Tree once more.

This time, however, his gaze was drawn to three figures in the pool’s water.

Beiya Leila and her two lovely children were immersed in a pool filled with the sacred blessings of the Elf Mother Tree. Colorful Elemental Magic Power flowed like a gentle stream through the water, slowly transferring to the two sisters, Fuli and Flora.

This Magic Power flowed gently over their delicate, porcelain-like bodies, like the soft caress of an angel’s feather, bestowing upon them a holy baptism.

Su Xuan quietly walked to the edge of the pool, his gaze falling upon Beiya Leila. Her skin was flawless and impossibly white, yet it still exuded a captivating charm.

Ahem~

Su Xuan suddenly realized that he and the Elf Queen seemed to exist on a different plane from Beiya Leila and her children.

’That made sense. I had entered this place through the Dream Realm created by the Elf Mother Tree, while Beiya Leila and the others had entered the Tree’s interior through an entrance in the real world.’

’Wait!’

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Su Xuan’s mind.

’Beiya Leila and her children couldn’t see me, but could they sense my presence?’

’They... probably could, right?’

"Is their baptism going smoothly?" Su Xuan asked the Elf Queen. After all, he knew from the White Elf Queen that the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism posed a certain amount of danger.

Otherwise, there would have been no need for Beiya Leila to assist them.

The Elf Queen nodded gently. "Rest assured. While Beiya Leila may not be the most powerful of the three Elf Princesses, her control over Elemental Magic is the most exceptional. A baptism in the Elf Mother Tree overseen by her is more reliable than one overseen by anyone else."

Su Xuan breathed a sigh of relief at the Elf Queen’s answer.

’Beiya Leila was one of the three Elf Princesses of the Elf Kingdom, after all. How could she possibly be weak?’

Perhaps his preconceived notions had led Su Xuan to mistake Beiya Leila for a fragile mother, but in reality, she was far stronger than he imagined.

"Stop hesitating. Take off your clothes and get in the pool," the Elf Queen urged.

The night was precious, and there was no time to waste.

"Together with them?" Su Xuan looked confused. He had thought he would be undergoing the baptism alone with the Elf Queen.

"With Rella here, my help is unnecessary," the Elf Queen said softly. "Rest assured, I will watch over you from the side to ensure your safety."

"Alright."

Su Xuan nodded, stripped off his clothes as the Elf Queen had instructed, and stepped into the pool.

Thanks to his previous experience, he adapted more quickly and with greater ease this time.

Furthermore, since Beiya Leila and her children were diffusing the effects of the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism, the power he felt was gentler and more comfortable than before...

Hmm?

Just as Su Xuan settled into the pool, he saw the Elf Queen gently shake the green tree at the water’s edge.

A few drops of multicolored sap dripped into the pool, instantly intensifying the power of the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism.

Pain washed over him like a tidal wave. It felt as if his blood had been replaced by a strange fluid, creating an indescribable sense of expansion from within.

Ngh~

Su Xuan heard Beiya Leila and her children let out pained groans.

But their eyes remained tightly shut as they quietly endured the pain.

Su Xuan gritted his teeth. After a period of agony, he finally began to acclimate to the pain.

Then, he too slowly closed his eyes, allowing the Elf Mother Tree’s Elemental Magic Power to permeate his every cell and perform its sacred baptism.

[You have received the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism. Elemental Magic Power has increased by 1%...]

[You have received the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism. Full Element Affinity has increased by 0.1%...]

The moment Su Xuan closed his eyes, a mysterious, green-haired young woman appeared silently beside the Elf Queen.

Her gaze swept over Su Xuan and the Elven mother and daughters for a moment before turning to the Elf Queen. Without her needing to open her mouth, a voice rang out serenely, "These two children have decent talent."

Mmm~

The Elf Queen responded with a gentle smile, signifying her agreement.

"He..."

The green-haired woman turned her gaze back to Su Xuan. After a moment of silence, her voice sounded again, "His Elemental talent isn’t exceptional, but he seems to be under the protection of some special Law, which prevents me from seeing through him completely."

The Elf Queen explained softly, "They come from a distant world and are protected by the Laws of their world."

After awakening, the Elf Queen had learned in detail about the rules of the Guild.

"Another world?"

The green-haired woman gazed at Su Xuan, an unusual light flickering in her eyes, before she fell into deep contemplation.

A few minutes later, she raised a finger. A droplet of emerald liquid condensed at its tip. It dripped slowly downward, and the instant it touched the water, the entire pool was dyed a vibrant, life-filled green.

At the same time, a crisp notification sound echoed in Su Xuan’s mind:

[You have received a gift from the Elf Mother Tree. Full Elemental Resistance has increased by 0.1%...]

[You have received the ’blood’ of the Elf Mother Tree. Your body has undergone a subtle change...]
