Chapter 303: Chapter 201: The Dark Elf Queen’s Compromise! How About Becoming My Slave?

"Strange?"

Fuli, curious and confused, cautiously reached out her small hand, wanting to figure out what was going on.

However, when her little hand passed through, she was surprised to find no invisible wall blocking her path, which left her utterly bewildered.

’Did I just see a ghost?’

Ah~

Panicked, Fuli looked at her mother with teary eyes, hoping for an answer.

Seeing Fuli’s expression, Su Xuan’s heart filled with guilt.

’Did I go too far?’

’Look how scared the poor kid is!’

In response, Beiya Leila walked softly to Fuli’s side. She knelt and gently stroked Fuli’s hair.

She comforted her in a soft voice, "There now, Fuli. You’ve just been working too hard lately and started seeing things. Let’s go eat first. You’ll feel better with a full belly~"

"Really?!" Hearing Beiya Leila’s reassurance, Fuli finally relaxed.

"Of course it is~" Beiya Leila said with a smile, gently patting Fuli’s forehead. "Come and eat now~"

"Mhm!"

Fuli nodded and happily took Flora’s hand, running toward the cauldron of hot soup.

At that moment, Beiya Leila’s gaze shifted behind her.

She could feel Su Xuan standing silently right behind her. The familiar warmth made her heart race, and she gently pressed her hands to her chest, trying to calm her fluttering heart.

"Mama! Hurry up!"

"Coming~"

Beiya Leila gave a radiant smile and walked over to her daughters...

「The scene changed.」

The time for the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism arrived once more. Beiya Leila and her daughters were already immersed in the spring water, receiving the Elf Mother Tree’s blessing.

Su Xuan, meanwhile, waited patiently for the Elf Queen to appear. However, an hour passed, and he still hadn’t seen any sign of her.

’Strange. Did she stand me up?’

Su Xuan rubbed his chin, a little puzzled. He couldn’t find any trace of the Elf Queen, and even the girl with long green hair was gone.

Since he couldn’t wait for the Elf Queen any longer, Su Xuan decided to join Beiya Leila and the others in the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism.

After sitting down, Su Xuan took out the Dark Elf Fruit.

Nourished by the Elf Mother Tree, the fruit’s surface shimmered with a multicolored black luster.

It would still be some time before its effects activated, but Su Xuan was full of anticipation for this Dark Elf Fruit.

He knew that there was no life within the fruit, so it was almost impossible for a new Elf to be born from it.

’But... perhaps it could serve as some kind of vessel?’

After gently tossing the Dark Elf Fruit into the clear spring water, Su Xuan slowly closed his eyes and began to fully accept the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism.

In his vision, a stream of notifications appeared:

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

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

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

Just as Su Xuan, Beiya Leila, and the others were receiving the Elf Mother Tree’s baptism, the Dark Elf Queen appeared silently beside them.

Her deep, dark-golden eyes stared intently at the Dark Elf Fruit floating in the water, a complex emotion hidden within her gaze.

As the most unique of the three souls—a being of malicious thought—she had long yearned to break free from the Elf Queen’s control and become the true ruler of the Elf Kingdom, satisfying her own immense ambition.

However, a recent series of events had begun to make her feel uneasy.

Su Xuan’s appearance had once been an opportunity for her, but now, it was more of a threat.

Therefore, she had to do something!

...

Within the Bright Church Court, Lucia sat upon the solemn Golden Throne. The night was deep, but she had no desire to sleep.

Her golden-red eyes glinted with shame and fury as scenes from before replayed endlessly in her mind. The images left her with a complex mix of feelings, her brow tightly furrowed.

Although it was only an avatar she had created, every minute sensation the avatar experienced, her soul had experienced just as vividly. There was no difference from her real body!

The fact that she had been captured by the Holy Light filled her with extreme displeasure and anger.

What shamed her even more was that her backside still faintly ached...

"Insolent fiend! (•́へ•́╬)!"

Lucia mulled it over and over, but the fire of her rage was impossible to quell.

She was determined that the next time she met Su Xuan, she would make him pay the price to satisfy the hatred in her heart!

Just as Lucia was lost in thought, the ethereal form of Saintess Vanessa suddenly appeared before her.

"Your Holiness~" Vanessa called out softly.

Lucia quickly composed herself, her expression turning calm as she turned to Vanessa. "Have you found anything?"

"Yes, I’ve found what you were looking for!"

...

「Deep within the Elf Mother Tree.」

Su Xuan quietly felt the nourishment of the spring water, each drop like Holy Water, cleansing his skin.

As today’s baptism was about to end, he slowly opened his eyes. In that instant, however, his brows knitted together tightly.

Because what greeted his eyes was the Dark Elf Queen’s flawless, jade-like body, as pure as moonlight, and her pair of golden eyes, filled with nobility and indifference.

"Dark Elf Queen?"

Su Xuan was taken aback for a moment. He had been wondering why he hadn’t seen the Elf Queen today; it turned out it was the Dark Elf Queen’s turn.

The Dark Elf Queen naturally held no fondness for this human male who had once "enlightened" her.

But to fulfill her obsession, she had no other choice.

Besides, she had been humiliated by Su Xuan and the White Elf Queen together...

"What? Is this Queen not allowed to receive the baptism with you?" the Dark Elf Queen’s voice carried a hint of coldness.

Although she needed something from Su Xuan, her personality hadn’t changed. She still maintained her inherent nobility and aloofness.

Su Xuan shrugged lightly, his tone casual. "Of course, you can."

He didn’t mind having the company of a stunning beauty like the Dark Elf Queen while he bathed.

Then, he closed his eyes again, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, the Dark Elf Queen’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her gaze pierced through the water’s surface, looking toward the Holy Light.

She discovered that the Holy Light wasn’t shining as brilliantly as she had expected.

’Why is that?’

Doubt rose in the Dark Elf Queen’s heart. In the past, whenever Su Xuan saw her jade-like body, his Holy Light would shine dazzlingly.

’But why is his reaction so calm today?’

’Has my allure to him vanished?’

’Impossible!’

’Absolutely impossible!’

As for the mystery in the Dark Elf Queen’s heart, Su Xuan naturally wouldn’t be the one to solve it for her. His body was already exhausted; how could he have the energy to "grace" Her Majesty the Queen?

Unless Her Majesty the Queen were to make some changes, only then might the Holy Light flicker faintly.

"You..."

After a long silence, the Dark Elf Queen finally spoke slowly, "Open your eyes. I have something to say to you."

Su Xuan didn’t move, merely replying flatly, "You can just say it. I can hear you."

"You!"

His words seemed to strike a nerve. The Dark Elf Queen’s beautiful eyes widened instantly, a complex mix of emotions swirling within them.

But she quickly regained her composure.

The Dark Elf Queen took a deep breath, stared at Su Xuan, and said seriously, "I can compromise with you all, but I have one condition."

"What condition?"

The Dark Elf Queen said coldly, "I want a new body, and the position of Executive Elder in the Elf Kingdom. I must be allowed to participate in the management and decision-making of the Elf Kingdom, and have the power to veto the Elf Queen’s decisions."

Hearing this, Su Xuan thought for a moment before replying, "Alright. But I have a condition too."

The Dark Elf Queen raised an eyebrow. "What condition?"

Su Xuan opened his eyes, looked directly into the Dark Elf Queen’s, and said slowly, "Sign a Soul Contract with me."

When the Dark Elf Queen heard this, a flash of shock and fury crossed her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes widened, her tone laced with a chilling frost. "You dare ask this Queen to sign a Soul Contract with you?!"
