Chapter 489 - 324: Confronting the Life Giant Dragon! Can You Look at Me Properly?

Chapter 489: Chapter 324: Confronting the Life Giant Dragon! Can You Look at Me Properly?

He didn’t explain anything to Mare Rhine. Useless justifications would only cause unnecessary trouble.

Instead of explaining, it was more efficient to just make a grand promise!

"Really!?"

Mare Rhine’s interest was instantly piqued when she heard Su Xuan’s words.

"Of course it’s true!"

Su Xuan smiled faintly and continued, "But I’ll need a little more time. After all, it’s a seal meant for Gods."

"Hahahaha! That’s wonderful!"

Mare Rhine laughed so hard she clutched her stomach, her voice full of excitement. "Mira! You’re so done for!"

"?"

Su Xuan’s eyebrow twitched. ’Looks like Mare Rhine is even easier to fool than I thought.’

Of course, he had no intention of betraying this Little Stupid Dragon. As a member of the Guild, Mare Rhine was definitely more important than Mira Orri!

"Don’t worry!"

Su Xuan patted Mare Rhine on the head and continued, "I’ll always be on your side. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

The moment she heard the word "unless," Mare Rhine’s expression turned serious, and she stared intently at Su Xuan.

"Unless..."

After a brief pause, Su Xuan smiled and said, "It’s nothing. It’s getting late, you should get some sleep!"

With that, he ruffled Mare Rhine’s hair and walked out of the bedroom.

But this vague and unresolved conversation naturally left Mare Rhine unable to let it go!

"Hey! Human!"

"Are you some kind of riddler?"

"Damn it! Just tell me!"

...

’This Little Stupid Dragon...’

Su Xuan sighed and took off his VR headset.

Of course he wouldn’t betray Mare Rhine, so there was no "unless."

"Ahhh~"

Su Xuan stood up, stretched languidly, and walked out of his room.

He stood on the balcony of Xu Feiyan’s villa, amazed by the beautiful night view.

’A villa worth tens of millions, no wonder. It’s right next to the Qiantang River...’

BEEP BEEP~

Just as Su Xuan was admiring the view of the river at night, his phone vibrated.

’A message from Liu Xue?’

[Cute Rabbit: Su Xuan? Are you done moving?]

"Yeah, I’m done," Su Xuan immediately replied.

[Cute Rabbit: That’s great~ When are you going to invite me over to your place?]

"Anytime, I guess?"

Su Xuan wasn’t trying to hide anything from Liu Xue; she was welcome to visit anytime.

[Cute Rabbit: Then it’s a date!! But lately, I’ve been staying in the sacred lands of the Elf Race. The scenery here is just gorgeous! I even saw the legendary Elf Queen! She’s even more beautiful than the landscape!]

"True, the Elf Kingdom is beautiful, and the Queen is even more so."

Su Xuan agreed with what Liu Xue said.

’The Elf Queen... her beauty was truly unforgettable.’

[Cute Rabbit: By the way! I heard that the Elf Queen recently granted a human the title of Honored Guest Elder. I have no idea what he did to earn the Queen’s approval!]

"Er... is it possible he just helped the Elf Queen with a few quests?" Su Xuan replied.

[Cute Rabbit: No way! Just helping the Elf Queen with a few quests would never be enough to become an Honored Guest Elder! Don’t you know that Honored Guest Elder is the highest honor the Elf Kingdom can bestow upon a member of a Foreign Race? In the last ten thousand years, no more than five people have been given that title!]

"Huh? Is that right?"

Su Xuan was somewhat surprised by Liu Xue’s explanation.

He knew the position of Honored Guest Elder was special, but he hadn’t known there had only been five in the Elf Kingdom’s entire ten-thousand-year history.

[Cute Rabbit: Of course! And becoming an Honored Guest Elder means you’ve earned the Elf Queen’s personal approval! Within the Elf Race, their status is second only to the Elf Princess and the Elders! You can just imagine how highly the Elf Queen thinks of him! And most importantly, he’s the first male Honored Guest Elder in history. All the previous ones were women!]

"?"

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow. ’How does Liu Xue know so much about this?’

[Cute Rabbit: Can’t chat anymore, my sister’s calling me for a late-night snack.]

"Careful you don’t get fat," Su Xuan joked.

[Cute Rabbit: Pfft~ (sticks out tongue)!]

’An Honored Guest Elder of the Elf Race...’

Su Xuan sat on a chair on the balcony, letting the warm summer breeze caress his face.

He, too, had been puzzled about the Elf Queen bestowing the title of Honored Guest Elder upon him.

He wasn’t entirely sure if it was a reward for helping the Elf Queen on multiple occasions.

However, after thinking it over, he was certain that wasn’t the case. The Elf Queen must have had her reasons.

...

「The next day.」

Su Xuan arrived at the Guild early.

The free time during summer vacation allowed him to immerse himself in the game and speed up his progress.

It was only 6:00 AM in the game.

Alice and the others were still fast asleep. The Guild hall was exceptionally quiet, almost desolate.

’Looks like I’m a bit too early...’

Su Xuan sat on the sofa, looking for something to do to pass the time.

Just then, Mira Orri’s voice echoed in his mind.

"Are you really going to help Mare Rhine fight me, child?"

"?"

Su Xuan fell silent for a moment before replying, "I made a promise to Mare Rhine. I can’t go back on my word."

"Very well. I understand." Mira Orri gave a faint smile and continued, "I don’t mind you siding with Mare Rhine, but there’s something you should know."

"And what is that?"

"Even at her peak, Mare Rhine was no match for me." Mira Orri’s tone turned playful as she smiled. "I’ve even obtained that Divine Position. Do you really think the two of you, combined, can defeat me?"

"..."

Su Xuan’s gaze narrowed as his mind raced.

’Mira Orri obtained the Divine Position? Is she telling the truth?’

’If it’s true, then why would she be used as the vessel to seal the Daughter of Death?’

’But if it’s a lie...’

After a moment of silence, Su Xuan replied, "So what? I believe we will be victorious."

"Hehehe..."

The moment Su Xuan finished speaking, Mira Orri’s laughter rang out.

"You’re so amusing. I find you just as cute as Mare Rhine."

"?"

Su Xuan frowned. He had a feeling that was an insult.

"However..."

Mira Orri smiled radiantly. "I do like your confidence and courage. Sometimes, you have to risk it all and never show weakness."

"Since that’s the case..."

"Then allow me to show you the enemy you’re about to face. Namely... me."

As she spoke, Su Xuan’s vision froze for an instant before being swallowed by complete darkness.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a pitch-black space.

The space was empty and deathly silent, as if everything had been reduced to a void.

"Mira Orri? Where have you taken me?"

Su Xuan called out to Mira Orri, completely baffled as to where she had taken him.

Just as he finished speaking, Mira Orri’s voice rang out.

"Where? Why, right in front of me, of course!"

With that, a blinding white light flashed, forcing Su Xuan to shield his eyes.

He could only peek at what was in front of him through the gaps between his fingers.

When the white light faded, a massive, cyan-blue Giant Dragon several thousand meters long appeared before him.

Her aura was even more immense than Mare Rhine’s. Before her, Su Xuan felt as insignificant as an ant.

But what Su Xuan found strange was why she had her back to him.

What’s more, he could only see the lower half of the Giant Dragon. Her upper body... seemed to be bisected by darkness, its form indistinct.

"Child, are you not shaken to your core upon seeing my true form?" Mira Orri’s voice drifted over, but it left Su Xuan with a complicated expression.

"I am definitely shaken..." Su Xuan paused for a second, then asked Mira Orri, "But could you at least face me?"

"Oh, that’s a bit difficult for me."

A hint of embarrassment colored Mira Orri’s laugh as she replied, "My upper body is in another Sealed Space, so I can only show you my back. But don’t you worry, I can still see you..."
