Chapter 426: Chapter 293: The Elf Kingdom Main Storyline Begins! I Want It All

Furthermore, a unique fragrance filled Alina’s chambers, as if the air were saturated with a rich, heady perfume.

The scent was more alluring than the light, delicate fragrance in the Elf Queen’s chambers, causing Su Xuan’s heart to unwittingly beat a little faster.

"So, what business do you have with the Elf Queen?" Alina asked, lying languidly on her side on the bed, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Su Xuan sat on a crystal chair, casually picked up an exquisite crystal cup, and poured himself some tea.

He took a light sip, savoring the tea’s delicate aroma as it filled his mouth, before replying calmly, "I can’t say. It’s a secret."

"A secret?"

Alina propped her cheek up with her hand, her beautiful eyes staring intently at Su Xuan, as if trying to see through to his innermost thoughts.

A moment later, she continued, "If you don’t want to say, then fine. It’s not like I’m interested in your affairs anyway~ But if you want to see the Elf Queen, you have to do one thing for me."

"What is it."

Su Xuan set down his crystal cup and turned his gaze to Alina on the bed.

Moonlight spilled through the window into the room, landing right on Alina and draping her in a silvery-white halo.

In the moonlight, her silvery-gray dress faintly outlined her graceful figure, as well as...

’She’s not wearing anything underneath?’

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly. It was normal to wear a nightgown at night, but for there to be nothing at all underneath... ’Isn’t that a bit much?’

*Ahem, ahem*.

He coughed lightly a few times, trying to ease the awkwardness, but his gaze couldn’t help but be drawn to the alluring figure in the moonlight.

And just then, Alina made an unexpected request.

"Stay here tonight. Spend the night with me."

PFFT!

Hearing this, Su Xuan was caught so off guard that he spat out the tea in his mouth. He stared at Alina with wide, incredulous eyes, as if there were something wrong with his ears.

’Who would have thought Alina was actually after his body!’

"What? You’re not willing?"

Alina glanced at Su Xuan, somewhat displeased by his reaction.

’She was a princess of the Elf Race, with beauty that could topple nations. Was she not worthy...’

’No, no, no!’

She quickly dispelled those wild thoughts from her mind. When she said "spend the night together," she absolutely did not mean anything illicit!

"I don’t mind, but you..." Su Xuan replied.

’For the sake of his mission, he was already prepared to endure any hardship!’

"I think you’ve misunderstood something." Alina shot Su Xuan a look, then patted the Crystal Bed beside her, beckoning him over. "Come here~"

"?"

Su Xuan hesitated for a moment but stood up and walked toward Alina’s Crystal Bed. ℯ

However, just as he was about to get on the bed, Alina suddenly questioned him, "Aren’t you going to take off your shoes? Or wash up?"

"You didn’t take yours off either, did you?"

Hearing this, a flash of displeasure crossed Alina’s face. She retorted, "I’m different from you!"

"How are you different? Let me see for myself."

Curious, Su Xuan leaned closer to Alina, lifted her small, delicate, jade-like foot, and began to examine it closely.

"???"

This action made Alina freeze for a second, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

She hadn’t expected Su Xuan to be so direct. A mix of shame and anger filled her heart as she quickly pulled her foot back, glaring at him. "Wh-what are you doing!"

"Let me get a closer look!"

"You wretched man! Let go!"

...

After a bit of a struggle, Su Xuan lay quietly on Alina’s Crystal Bed.

The two of them just lay there quietly, with no other extraneous movements.

"So I just need to spend the night with you? Is there nothing else to do?"

Su Xuan asked in confusion, staring at the ceiling.

In response to his query, Alina simply closed her eyes. After a moment of silence, she said, "The Elf Kingdom has been a bit unsettled lately. If it’s not something important, it’s best you don’t see the Queen."

...

Hearing this, Su Xuan hesitated for a moment.

Then he slowly said, "That’s exactly why I’ve come."

"?"

The moment Su Xuan’s words fell, an incredulous look appeared in Alina’s eyes. She stared at Su Xuan, her expression full of astonishment.

She demanded, "How did you know? Besides the Queen and myself, no one else is aware of this!"

"I only know that the Elf Kingdom is in trouble, but I don’t know the real situation," Su Xuan replied. "If you can, could you tell me the details?"

"I see..."

Alina frowned slightly, a complex light flickering in her beautiful eyes. Then, she said coldly, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Why must you keep pressing?"

Su Xuan turned his head to look directly into Alina’s eyes and said, "I am Fuli and Flora’s President, after all. If the Elf Kingdom is in trouble, I have a responsibility to know."

...

Su Xuan’s words left Alina silent for a long time.

The two were now lying on the Crystal Bed, a distance of only a few centimeters between them.

Alina could clearly feel the warmth of Su Xuan’s breath, and Su Xuan could smell the unique fragrance of the Elf Princess, a scent as fresh and pleasant as Jasmine.

After a long while, Alina gave Su Xuan a light glance, seemingly a bit helpless against his persistence. She said softly, "So you’re here for Beiya Leila’s two children. I thought you..."

"?"

Su Xuan was deeply puzzled by Alina’s words. He couldn’t shake the feeling that this Elf Princess was deliberately trying to lead him on.

"There’s no harm in telling you."

Alina’s voice sounded again. "The crisis the Elf Kingdom now faces is actually a lingering problem from that war. Because some of the Elves fell to darkness, the kingdom’s overall Power has weakened. Add to that the Queen’s poor health, and our enemies are growing restless."

"Enemies?"

A grave expression appeared on Su Xuan’s face as he listened with rapt attention to Alina’s every word.

"You should know that the Elf Kingdom was invaded by the Undead Monarch a thousand years ago, right?" Alina sighed softly and continued, "Now, it seems they’re showing signs of making a comeback. Furthermore, our investigation has revealed that the Beastman Kingdom is also involved."

"The Undead Monarch..." Su Xuan’s gaze hardened slightly. That war a thousand years ago not only gave birth to the Dark Night Elf Legion, but it also caused evil thoughts to fester within the Elf Queen.

Moreover, even though the Undead Monarch was defeated, its minions have been constantly harassing the Elf Kingdom ever since.

It was in this continuous war that Princess Yuluxi lost a close friend, forcing her to accept the inheritance of a Witch.

But this left Su Xuan utterly perplexed. He didn’t understand—what was the identity of that Undead Monarch?

How could it pose a threat to the Elf Kingdom?

After all, the Elf Kingdom, with its Elf Mother Tree, should possess an overall strength far surpassing that of the Sun Sect Country.

"Do you have any clues about the Undead Monarch’s identity?" Su Xuan asked.

"The Queen might know," Alina answered succinctly. "If you want to help the Elf Kingdom overcome this crisis, you have only two choices."

As she spoke, she held up two slender fingers and clearly laid out the options:

"One: have the Dark Elves return to the Elf Kingdom. If that happens, the kingdom’s overall Power will be greatly enhanced, enough to resist the Undead Monarch’s assault."

"Two: restore the Queen’s Power to its peak!"

Faced with the two options Alina presented, Su Xuan fell into a brief silence.

After thinking for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Why can’t we achieve both goals at the same time?"

"That depends on your strength, little man~"

Alina lightly tipped up Su Xuan’s chin with her slender fingertip, a seductive smile playing on her lips. "If you can really save the Elf Kingdom from its dire straits, I might consider offering you a special reward."

Her words were laced with provocation as her fingertip slowly trailed down, gliding from Su Xuan’s firm chest toward his Holy Light.

When her finger touched that scorching spot, a flash of surprise and admiration crossed Alina’s azure eyes, as if she were stunned by the terrifying thing hidden there.

"So hot!"
