Chapter 111: Chapter 34: Perfect, Holy, and Kind Queen! The True Owner of the Elf Tears
"Did you conquer even Alina, Mr. President?" Beiya Leila asked in pleasant surprise, her face beaming with a brilliant smile.
"She chose to support me voluntarily. I’m not sure of her motives, but at least the outcome was the right one." Su Xuan shrugged lightly. After leaving the Elf Mother Tree, he hadn’t returned to the Guild. Instead, he had come to Beiya Leila’s small wooden cabin again.
There was no particular reason. He was just thirsty and wanted a cup of milk tea, and while he was at it, he figured he’d ask Beiya Leila a few things about the Elf Queen.
"Is that so? Alina’s thoughts are indeed hard to guess. She’s just a little girl, not even a hundred years old," Beiya Leila said with a smile as she poured tea for Su Xuan.
"Not even a hundred..." Su Xuan took a light sip of his tea, sighing internally. ’Elves really are a long-lived race. They’re still considered little girls under a hundred!’
"Speaking of which, she’s not quite like the rest of you, is she?"
"Yes." Beiya Leila nodded and explained, "Alina is a fruit that the Elf Queen personally plucked from the Elf Mother Tree. There are rumors that she was fused with a wisp of the Elf Queen’s Original Magic Power. Because of that, her birth is nobler than any other Elf’s."
"So that’s how it is... No wonder I always felt she was different from the other Elves."
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan nodded thoughtfully.
Just then, Beiya Leila quietly sat down beside him, her soft body pressing against Su Xuan’s arm.
She leaned close to Su Xuan’s ear and whispered softly, "Thanks to you, Mr. President, there are far fewer voices within the Elf Race calling for my trial. I really don’t know how I can ever thank you. How about... I give you your reward right now?"
HAAA~
Beiya Leila’s hot breath tickled Su Xuan’s ear, carrying a unique milky fragrance that instantly invigorated him.
"Let’s wait until this is all over for the reward~," Su Xuan said with a faint smile.
’Fuli and Flora are still here. I can’t be doing anything not suitable for children!’
"You’re right. We can’t let our guard down yet. A few of the Elders in the race are stubborn old fossils. Even if Alina and the others are willing to give up on the trial, the Elders won’t give up so easily," Beiya Leila said, stroking Su Xuan’s cheek as if admiring her own possession.
The desire for control in her eyes grew ever stronger.
GULP!
Su Xuan swallowed hard. ’Beiya Leila’s possessiveness is way too intense! Is this what a true Strong Desire Elf is like?’
Just then, a fiery red figure pushed open the door and burst into view.
"Beiya Leila, I heard that even Alina..."
Hong Lian walked into the cabin and was about to say something when she noticed Su Xuan was there too. She froze for a moment, swallowing the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Oh, Hong Lian~"
Seeing Hong Lian, Beiya Leila smiled at Su Xuan and said, "Mr. President, how about you let Fuli and Flora show you around the Elf Kingdom? You’ve been here for so long, running around for my sake. You should take some time to properly appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Elf Kingdom."
"Alright."
"Let’s go, Lord President~"
Su Xuan immediately followed the two adorable Little Elves toward the central area of the Elf Kingdom.
Meanwhile, after walking into the cabin, Hong Lian shut the door tightly behind her.
"I heard Alina gave up on your trial, too?"
"Yes, it’s all thanks to Mr. President’s help~"
...
The scene changed. Su Xuan, following Fuli and Flora, stepped into the core area of the Elf Kingdom.
In front of the solemn and majestic Imperial Palace stood a jade statue of the Elf Queen nearly a hundred meters tall, inspiring a sense of reverence.
The jade sculpture was so lifelike it was breathtaking, like a goddess descended to the mortal world. Although it was just a jade carving, its vividness was no less than that of a real person, with rich colors and exquisite detail.
The Elf Queen was depicted in a magnificent white gown embroidered with intricate silver patterns, every detail showcasing unparalleled refinement. On her head was a matching silver crown that sparkled with a dazzling light. Her expression was dignified and elegant, and combined with her splendid attire, it made her appear incomparably noble.
She exuded the air of a graceful, motherly ruler, captivating Su Xuan and drawing him in with her Charm. Her presence alone seemed to make everything else pale in comparison.
"Lord President, this is the statue of our Queen. She’s beautiful, isn’t she?" Fuli said to Su Xuan.
"Yes, she is indeed beautiful."
Su Xuan nodded in agreement.
It could be said that the Elf Queen was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She and Edith each had their own unique charm. If Edith was a seductive red rose, then the Elf Queen was a pure white rose. Her sacred appearance inspired reverence in Su Xuan, rather than arousing his inner desires.
"The Elf Queen is the greatest being in our entire Elf Kingdom." Flora clasped her hands together, sighing in adoration. "With her own Magic Power, she nurtured tens of millions of Elves! She is the one all of us Elves worship!"
"Nurtured tens of millions of Elves? Aren’t Elves born from the Elf Mother Tree?" Su Xuan asked in confusion.
"Elves are born from the Elf Mother Tree, of course, but it needs to be irrigated with the Elf Queen’s Elemental Magic Power for the Elf Mother Tree to blossom and bear fruit," Flora explained. "In a way, the Elf Queen is the true mother of all Elves."
"Oh~" Upon hearing this, Su Xuan nodded thoughtfully.
He was beginning to feel a certain respect for this Queen. A Queen who had existed for the Elf Race for over ten thousand years, who was beautiful, powerful, and possessed a kind heart. She was also the creator of tens of millions of Elves and the Elf Kingdom... ’Truly wonderful~’
However~
"Shouldn’t you call her Mother, though? Or maybe Grandmother?" Su Xuan asked the two sisters, Fuli and Flora, jokingly.
"Oh~ You’re right!" The two sisters seemed to have a revelation, but then immediately added, "It doesn’t matter, though! Everyone just calls her Queen! The Elf Race doesn’t really have family relationships; everyone is just a kinsman. Only we and our mom are special!"
"And that’s what makes it so precious, isn’t it? That a special bond exists only between you," Su Xuan said with a smile, patting the two little darlings on the head. They froze for a second, then broke into happy smiles.
"Lord President, let’s go look around somewhere else."
"Mhm."
...
After wandering around for a while, Su Xuan and the two sisters, Fuli and Flora, finally returned to the cabin. Their timing was perfect; Hong Lian and Beiya Leila’s conversation had just ended, and they were emerging from the cabin. The group met unexpectedly at the doorway, their gazes crossing in the air.
"Thank you so much for this. Your help saved us a lot of trouble." Hong Lian’s smile was as bright as the Sunshine, and she clapped Su Xuan enthusiastically on the shoulder, not holding back her gratitude in the slightest.
"I just did what I had to do," Su Xuan replied nonchalantly.
"This was no small matter! You really are an outstanding Guild President. I believe that sooner or later, you’ll grow to become just as great as my own President." Hong Lian laughed heartily, her words filled with admiration and expectation for Su Xuan. She clapped him firmly on the shoulder again, as if encouraging him in her own way.
Su Xuan just smiled it off, but he was curious about Hong Lian’s President. ’Since Hong Lian is over Level 50 and has at least Epic quality, her President must be at least C-Level, right?’
"Alright, I have some things to take care of back at my Guild, so I’ll be leaving now," Hong Lian said. "I look forward to seeing your Guild in the future Guild Wars. By then, I hope you’ll have raised Fuli and Flora into Warriors who can stand on their own."
"Until we meet again." Su Xuan waved goodbye, watching Hong Lian’s retreating figure disappear from view, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts.
Guild Wars!
That was a special event limited to C-Level Guilds and above.
You could say that reaching C-Level was the true start of the game. Only then could you be considered to have truly formed an Adventurer’s Guild. Right now, they were at best the size of a mercenary group.
After enjoying dinner at Beiya’s home with her two daughters, Su Xuan returned to the Guild. He had just sat down when he felt a sudden heat from his chest.
Confused, Su Xuan took out the Elf Tears he kept in his breast pocket and discovered a faint, graceful silhouette appearing within it.
"What is this?" Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He still knew nothing about the origin of this Elf Tears.
It hadn’t come from Beiya Leila. So who could it be from?
Su Xuan stared at the blurry silhouette in the Elf Tears, and for a moment, it looked somewhat familiar.
It looked like...
The Elf Queen?
