Chapter 546: Chapter 353: Alina Challenges the Holy Light! A Mischievous Desire to Conquer

"You’re going to help me?"

Su Xuan was a little surprised to hear Alina volunteer to help him absorb the Power of the Snake Scale.

After all, a Snake Scale symbolized a marriage contract among the Snake-man Race.

The Elf Queen had warned him that he could choose any Elf he wanted, as long as they were willing—anyone except Alina.

But now...

Su Xuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

His pair of dark eyes stared intently at Alina, making her take a slightly shy step back.

Her cheeks were faintly flushed as she asked Su Xuan, "Why... why are you staring at me?"

"I was just thinking whether the Elf Queen will blame me for this," Su Xuan murmured.

"Why would the Queen blame you?" Alina was completely confused, unable to follow Su Xuan’s train of thought.

But she quickly realized the reason and immediately replied, "Don’t worry. What happens here stays between you, me, heaven, and earth!"

Uh...

Su Xuan glanced at Queen Medusa in the distance. ’Queen Medusa probably knows too...’

But none of that was important. As long as Alina was willing, he certainly had no objections.

Besides, it wasn’t a real marriage contract—just a way to establish a connection with Queen Medusa.

’The Elf Queen, far away on the battlefield, will never know!’

"Alright then!"

Having made up his mind, Su Xuan looked toward Queen Medusa and asked, "How should I use your Snake Scale?"

"You just need to place it between your foreheads, and it will automatically transfer the Power of the Snake-man Race to you," Queen Medusa said nonchalantly, resting her cheek on her hand. "But the process might be a bit strange. This Queen cannot guarantee there won’t be any... accidents."

She had never had a similar experience. After all, as the Queen of the Snake-man Race, Medusa had no offspring, nor even any clan members with close blood ties.

"Then let’s give it a try."

Su Xuan raised the Snake Scale, about to press it to his forehead.

But then he suddenly remembered that both of their foreheads had to touch the Snake Scale. Didn’t that mean...?

"What are you spacing out for? Let’s get this over with so we can hurry back to the battlefield!"

Alina took the Snake Scale from Su Xuan’s hand, pressed it to her own forehead, and immediately moved closer to him.

The distance between them closed in an instant, their foreheads pressing tightly together.

This extremely close contact made Alina, who hadn’t given it much thought before, suddenly realize something was off.

She could even clearly feel Su Xuan’s hot breath, and see his dark eyes staring fixedly into hers.

Ah—!

Alina flusteredly tried to turn her head away, but Su Xuan cupped her cheeks with both hands, preventing her from succeeding!

"Don’t move! The scale will fall off!" Su Xuan reminded her.

"Oh!"

Only then did Alina realize the reason, and she immediately stood still, quiet and obedient.

But her heart suddenly began to race, pounding like a panicked fawn!

’We’re so close!’

Alina averted her gaze, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks. At this moment, she didn’t dare look Su Xuan in the eye and only wanted to escape his stare!

As for Su Xuan...

Hiss~

Su Xuan’s gaze drifted downward. Her snowy-white softness was pressed against his chest, and the tender warmth made his own heart race.

He had felt the tenderness of Ivsha and the others, but Alina was... special.

Her heart would alternate between hot and cold, as if she had a temperature controller in her chest that responded to her emotions.

This felt incredibly novel to Su Xuan, making him even more curious about Alina’s identity.

’A Holy Spirit?’

’The Princess of the Elf Race?’

’An Elf personally plucked from the Elf Mother Tree by the Elf Queen herself?’

Su Xuan stared intently at Alina’s delicate face, his eyes filled with a peculiar sort of fervor.

This made Alina even more flustered, and her mind began to run wild with speculation.

’Of course, I can’t know what he’s actually thinking, but if I had to guess, it must be something lewd, right? After all, that’s just the kind of person he is, isn’t it?’

’Even though he hasn’t fully awakened his Holy Light, I can still perceive its presence through the fabric...’

HOOH... HOOH...

Alina’s breathing grew heavier, washing over Su Xuan’s cheeks in waves.

Her sweet-scented breath made Su Xuan’s heart race as well. He could even feel his head getting hot, a wave of dizziness washing over him.

Alina felt the same; as she perceived Su Xuan’s hot breath on her cheeks, her mind went blank.

But neither of them seemed to notice that the Snake Scale was gradually melting, slowly being absorbed into their skin.

"Has it begun?"

Queen Medusa sat upon her throne, her cool, wicked eyes watching Su Xuan and Alina calmly.

She herself didn’t know what effect the Snake Scale would have on its two users, but this sort of thing was typically used on a wedding night.

"I... I’m so hot..."

Alina suddenly felt her body grow feverish. A faint blush spread across her snowy-white skin, and a soft pink glow flickered in her eyes.

"Hahh... hahh..."

Su Xuan, on the other hand, was tense. He could feel that the Snake Scale on his forehead had vanished, and... his Holy Light was beginning to shine!

"You!?"

Alina could clearly feel the heat of the Holy Light, which was passing through the fabric to her skin.

But for some reason, she felt completely drained of strength. She didn’t even have the thought of escaping; instead, a strange impulse was blooming within her!

"This Snake Scale is..."

Su Xuan’s thoughts were still focused on the side effects of the Snake Scale. His gaze fell upon his right hand, where the image of a scale—be it a Snake Scale or a Dragon Scale, he couldn’t tell—was faintly shimmering into and out of existence on the back of it.
