Chapter 288: Chapter 186: Until the Holy Light Dissipates! Madam! There’s Really Nothing Left

"Mwah~"

While holding it fast in her snowy-white embrace, Beiya Leila affectionately kissed the brilliant Holy Light.

Her pious posture made Su Xuan clench his teeth, lost in the unique charm of the Elf.

As the Elemental Magic Power gathered, the Holy Light erupted like a brilliant firework!

"Ooh~!"

Beiya Leila blinked her bright eyes, the baptism of Holy Light reflecting on her cheeks in that moment.

She lightly licked the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, revealing a gentle and charming smile as she whispered, "As expected of Mr. Su Xuan. What an intoxicating feeling~"

Su Xuan wanted to respond, but Beiya Leila couldn’t hear his voice, so he could only nod again in acknowledgment.

As the prayer ritual ended, the emerald-green light released by the Elf Mother Tree’s ’blood’ gradually faded, once again vanishing from Beiya Leila’s sight as if it had turned invisible.

"It’s gone..."

A flicker of surprise crossed Beiya Leila’s face, but her smile quickly returned to its full brilliance, for she could still feel the scorching heat of the Holy Light.

The disappearance of the light did not mean it was gone. It was still here!

"Mr. Su Xuan~"

Beiya Leila gently caressed the Holy Light, her eyes revealing a deep captivation. She asked, "Fuli and Flora have been under your care these past few days. I can feel that they’re different from before~"

"They’ve become more confident and brave! Their growth and change bring me such joy."

Hearing this, Su Xuan subconsciously touched the tip of his nose.

’The reason Fuli and Flora have become more brave and confident is probably closely related to Rosaline.’

’As an Oath Knight, Rosaline took great care of Fuli and Flora, not only passing on her experience to them but also playing a positive role in guiding their growth.’

Of course!

’As the Guild President, he also played an indispensable role!’

This sense of pride made the Holy Light tremble proudly.

However, this seemed to be a peculiar signal, releasing faint traces of Lust Magic Power that made a heart-shaped light bloom in Beiya Leila’s eyes.

She smiled, gently touching the spot where the now-vanished Holy Light was with her fingertips. Although she couldn’t see it, she could deeply feel its presence.

"What a cute little thing~"

Beiya Leila slowly stood up, her graceful, snow-white figure displayed in full view for Su Xuan.

Perhaps because she had given birth, her lower abdomen was fuller and her figure more alluring. Every movement she made exuded an endless charm that was impossible to resist.

GULP~

Su Xuan’s heart trembled. He swallowed hard, his gaze tightly following Beiya Leila’s every move.

When Beiya Leila walked over to the Holy Light and gently played with it, her snow-white skin rippled like the surface of water. Her every subtle movement exuded a captivating charm, making it impossible for Su Xuan to look away.

Just then, Beiya Leila’s enchanting voice drifted into Su Xuan’s ears like a gentle breeze, softly plucking at his heartstrings.

"Now~ let me reward you properly~"

(What follows is a hidden scene. One hundred thousand words omitted...)

...

「Star Kingdom, Blood Territory.」

"Duke Jito, everything you asked for is here."

A Law Enforcement Knight respectfully presented a detailed file on the Blood Territory to a man with a deathly pale face and crimson eyes.

"Mm..."

Duke Jito took the file, then used his crimson eyes to carefully size up the male knight standing beside him.

After a long stare, the corner of his mouth curved into a meaningful smile.

"You’re the Knight Captain of the Blood Territory?" Duke Jito asked softly.

"Yes, Duke Jito," the Law Enforcement Knight replied.

However, the moment the words left his mouth...

SQUELCH!

His heart was easily pierced by a hand.

The Law Enforcement Knight stared at Duke Jito in astonishment as the Duke effortlessly pulled his hand from the knight’s heart, then greedily licked the blood from his fingertips like a ravenous wolf.

"What a wonderful taste," Duke Jito said, nodding in satisfaction as he sucked the blood from his fingertips.

The Law Enforcement Knight tried to resist, only to find to his horror that his body was bound by an invisible force, unable to move.

Just then, Prince Laps walked over, his voice cold. "I just received word. They’ve already gathered all the Magic Power needed to activate the Star Ceremony. Once Vivian receives the blessing of the Power of the Stars, she’ll be able to ascend to a Demigod! When that happens, we’ll all be finished!"

"You’re too anxious, Laps." Duke Jito nonchalantly licked the blood from his fingers, a hint of ridicule in his voice. "You should learn from your uncle. He’s always so calm and composed, never showing the slightest bit of panic."

"Jito! I’m talking about something serious! Don’t you know how powerful the Power of the Stars is? It’s..." Prince Laps rushed toward Duke Jito in agitation, grabbing him by the collar.

Before he could finish, however, Duke Jito shoved Prince Laps away with astonishing strength, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Laps, watch your behavior." Duke Jito’s expression instantly darkened. "As a Prince, you shouldn’t lose your composure like this," he said coldly. "If there’s nothing else, do not disturb my meal."

With that, Duke Jito shouldered the helpless Law Enforcement Knight and strode away, leaving Prince Laps alone, fuming with frustration.

"You!"

A vicious glint flashed in Prince Laps’s eyes. He stared intently at Duke Jito’s retreating back, but he was helpless.

He knew that to contend for the throne of the Star Kingdom, he had to rely on Duke Jito and the power behind him from the Abyss of Pride.

Therefore, even after being treated this way, he could only endure it in silence.

"That bastard!" After Duke Jito left, Prince Laps furiously pounded the ground, venting his anger.

Just then, a Royal Knight approached him and reported, "Your Highness, we’ve found the whereabouts of the Deer Maiden through a lead provided by a Centaur."

"Oh?" A flicker of interest appeared in Prince Laps’s eyes. "Where is she?"

"The Deer Maiden has joined a Guild and become an Adventurer," the Royal Knight reported. "But we don’t yet know which specific Guild she joined. Since these Adventurers frequently travel between regions using Teleportation Arrays, it might take some time to find her."

"There’s no need to search anymore." Prince Laps waved his hand, a cold smirk on his lips. "I have my own way of finding her."

Although the Royal Knight was confused, not understanding the Prince’s specific plan, he didn’t ask any further questions. He simply responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."

"By the way, where is the Centaur who gave us the lead on the Deer Maiden now?" Prince Laps asked suddenly.

"We’ve already brought him back to the castle to await your reward," the Royal Knight replied.

"A reward?" Prince Laps sneered and ordered, "Tell him that if he wants to live, he must give up all the other Centaurs who know about this. Then, feed all of them to the Earth Dragons. This must be done cleanly. No one can know, especially not my uncle. Understand?"

"But..."

"That’s an order!"

"As you command, Your Highness!"

The Royal Knight quickly departed to carry out Prince Laps’s order. After watching his back disappear, a sinister smile crept onto Prince Laps’s lips.

"As long as I get my hands on that Deer Maiden," he muttered to himself, a sneer glinting in his eyes, "I won’t have to act according to Duke Jito’s whims anymore. Jito, you want my blood? Heh, I’ll make you pay with your life!"

...

「Deep within the Elf Mother Tree, the sacred prayer had drawn to a close.」

"Mr. Su Xuan~ Thank you~"

Beiya Leila placed a kiss on the Holy Light to express her gratitude.

Although she had already given birth to Fuli and Flora, this was her first time experiencing the wonder and pleasure of Life Magic.

As for Su Xuan?

Beiya Leila couldn’t see Su Xuan’s current expression; he was exhausted, submerged in the water.

Before entering the Dream Realm, he had already nourished Ivsha, and just now he had bestowed the Holy Light upon Beiya Leila...

At this moment, Su Xuan had nearly exhausted his combat capabilities, letting the Elemental Magic Power flow gently over his skin.

It couldn’t be helped!

Beiya Leila couldn’t see or hear his presence, so she had no idea that Su Xuan had long since reached his limit.

And so, she remained immersed in the Holy Light until it grew faint, until its very last flicker vanished, before she finally, slowly, stopped her movements.

’Painful!’

’But if Su Xuan had to choose again... he’d do it a hundred million more times!’

However, it was worth mentioning that since Su Xuan’s Holy Light was transparent at the moment, and he was behind her...

Ahem~

He could clearly see Beiya Leila’s beautiful form, and...

"What are you doing?"

Just as Su Xuan was soaking in the pool, silently recovering his strength, a green-haired girl suddenly appeared at the water’s edge. She looked down, her gaze as sharp as a torch, fixed on him.

Huh!?

Startled by the sudden voice, Su Xuan quickly sat up in the water, his eyes fixed on the green-haired girl before him.

This was the second time Su Xuan had seen her, and her appearance made him both surprised and a little nervous.

"You..."

The green-haired girl merely glanced nonchalantly at Beiya Leila, who was combing her beautiful hair off to the side, and immediately understood what Su Xuan had just been doing here.

The indifference on her face made Su Xuan’s heart involuntarily speed up.

’After all, this is the inside of the Elf Mother Tree, a place filled with a sacred and solemn aura.’

’And here I was, exploring the mysteries of Life Magic with Beiya Leila...’

’If this green-haired girl really is the personification of the Elf Mother Tree, then my actions are undoubtedly touching upon a taboo. I’m afraid it might provoke the Elf Mother Tree’s unpredictable wrath!’

However, the girl’s reaction was not what Su Xuan expected.

She just stated calmly, "Your baptism for today is over. You may leave."

"Huh?"

Su Xuan was caught off guard by this and couldn’t react for a moment.

But in the next moment, the space around him began to twist and distort, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

Immediately after, Su Xuan’s consciousness was abruptly pulled from the deep Dream Realm, and he returned to the Guild.

At the same time, several notifications appeared in his vision:

[Current Full Element Magic Power Increased: 100%!]

[Current Full Element Affinity Increased: 30%!]

[Current Full Elemental Resistance Increased: 15%!]

"Phew~"

Su Xuan gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, his heart still unable to calm down. The face of the green-haired girl kept replaying in his mind.

’She must be the personification of the Elf Mother Tree, right?’
