Chapter 445 - 303: Scumbag Su Xuan! You Have to Take Responsibility
This time, she wore a white robe over the white bandages wrapped around her body.
Although her skin was a unique, starlit gray, it exuded a distinct charm when paired with the pristine white robe.
"Your Majesty~"
Paslo stopped ten meters before the Elf Queen and respectfully knelt.
Only then did the other Dark Elves follow her lead, saluting the Elf Queen.
"Paslo..."
đđđđđ°đ˛đŻđťđđđđš.đđ¨đ
When the Elf Queen saw that Paslo had personally brought the Semi-Divine Artifact, she fell silent.
Her azure eyes shimmered, a torrent of inexpressible emotions churning within them.
"Pfft~"
Hiding in the shadows, Alina tried to suppress a smile, the corners of her lips twitching upward.
Su Xuan, standing beside her, glanced over. âShe definitely has some strange quirk!â he thought.
However, Alinaâs glee didnât last long.
Suddenly, the Elf Queen turned and shot her a cold glare.
In the next instant, it felt as if invisible chains had bound her, leaving her unable to move. A mysterious Flame ignited deep within her, rendering her skin incredibly sensitive, as if every inch were being seared.
âThis is bad!â
Alinaâs heart leaped into her throat.
âI just wanted to enjoy the drama,â she thought frantically, âI didnât think Iâd provoke the Elf Queenâs wrath!â
Meanwhile, Su Xuan was completely unaware of Alinaâs plight.
He reached out and gently patted Alinaâs fair shoulder, whispering a reminder, "If the Queen lays into you later, donât you go crying."
Ngh~
The touch sent a jolt through Alinaâs body, like an electric current. A shiver ran down her spine, and a captivating blush spread across her skin.
Su Xuan, of course, noticed her reaction, which left him utterly confused.
âAlina was just gloating a moment ago. Why has she suddenly gotten so quiet?â
He then asked, "Whatâs wrong? Your face is so red. Are you not feeling well?"
Alina struggled to calm her racing heart, but her voice still trembled. "N-Nothing!"
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes quivered. Her thoughts were in a jumble, making it difficult to think straight.
"?"
Su Xuan was about to speak, but the conversation between the Elf Queen and Paslo was more important, and it drew his attention.
"Your Majesty, this is the Semi-Divine Artifact you gifted the Dark Elves long ago. We have come to return it." Paslo took out a unique item and presented it to the Elf Queen.
It was a small, delicate blue seed, which emitted a soft yet profound blue glow.
Though it was only the size of a thumb, the Power contained within it left Su Xuan completely stunned.
[Elfâs Seed of Elements (Semi-Divine Artifact): Contains the Elemental Goddessâs Seed of Law.]
"The Elemental Goddessâs Seed of Law?"
A flicker of shock passed through Su Xuanâs eyes as he read the Semi-Divine Artifactâs description.
âThe quality of a Semi-Divine Artifact is still Mythical, but its strength is a cut above ordinary Mythical equipment. The difference is probably that it contains Divine Law Power.â
"I thank you for your trouble."
With a gentle wave of her hand, the Elf Queen made the Elfâs Seed of Elements float from Pasloâs grasp as if summoned, disappearing into her sleeve without a trace.
Then, she spoke slowly, "Paslo, have you... been well lately?"
"Thanks to you, Your Majesty, weâve been doing well," Paslo replied with a faint smile.
"Is that so..."
The Elf Queenâs gaze fell. It seemed there were a thousand things she wished to say, but she couldnât voice a single one.
For she could sense that, apart from Paslo, the other Dark Elves remained on high alert, their hostility toward the Elves as stark as the divide between fire and water.
...
After the brief conversation between the two leaders, the Elf Queen immediately arranged for the Dark Elves to take up temporary residence in the Elf Palace. This was in preparation for the upcoming activation ceremony for the Seed of Elements.
Su Xuan learned that activating the Elfâs Seed of Elements required the Power of two Demigod Level experts.
Since Pasloâs combat strength, bolstered by the Power of Corruption, was nearly at the Demigod Level, her help was required to activate the Elfâs Seed of Elements.
Of course, the Elf Queen had originally planned to invite a friend to assist her. But now that Paslo had joined, she no longer needed to trouble the other female Demigod.
The activation process would last a full week, which was why Paslo had to undergo a special sealing.
With an ordinary seal, she might have been driven mad during the activation of the Seed of Elements.
If Paslo were to be driven mad, it would very likely trigger a large-scale conflict between the Elves and the Dark Elvesâan outcome that neither the Elf Queen nor Paslo wished to see.
After the talks concluded, Su Xuan didnât return to the Guild immediately, instead lingering for a while in the Elf Kingdom.
"I canât believe nothing happened. How boring," Alina sighed, a little disappointed by the anticlimactic outcome.
As for the Elf Queenâs punishment from before, Alina seemed to have forgotten all about it.
"Arenât you afraid of the Elf Queenâs anger?" Su Xuan asked curiously, glancing at Alina.
Alina rolled her eyes and explained, "What do you know? Sure, the Elves and Dark Elves seem to be at each otherâs throats, but the Queen was actually desperate to meet with Paslo again to ease the tension between them."
"Unfortunately, itâs still far too early for them to reconcile. After all, their feud has lasted for millennia. It canât be resolved overnight."
