Chapter 451 - 306: Your Majesty the Queen! Why Are You Peeking! The Queen and the Pope
"How could this be..."
The Elf Queen quietly lay at the entrance of the tree hollow, peeking at the scene inside.
The heroic sight of Su Xuan brandishing his Holy Sword inevitably made her feel deeply embarrassed.
But what concerned her more was Lucia’s pious posture as she prayed to the Holy Light. While she couldn’t yet be called a Silver Simurgh, it was hard to imagine this was the kind of demeanor the rumored Bright Pope would display.
’If it were someone else...’
’Hmph, hmph~’
’There are no "ifs" in this world!’
’Speaking of which~’
The Elf Queen’s gaze landed gently on Lucia, and she developed a keen interest in this new Bright Pope.
Although Lucia was only in her early twenties, her achievements could rival those of any previous Pope.
Just from what the Elf Queen had heard, Lucia had a glorious track record of single-handedly defeating seven of the Demon King’s Army commanders before becoming the Pope.
And after ascending to the papal throne, she had even severely wounded the Sloth Demon King!
One had to understand that since the creation of the seven thrones, the master of the Sloth Throne had never changed, which was a testament to the Sloth Demon King’s power.
However, even such a mighty Demon King had suffered defeat at Lucia’s hands.
This had made the Elf Queen very eager to meet this new Pope.
But after meeting her...
’Hmm~’
’It seems she’s a little different from what I imagined!’
Perhaps the only things that matched the rumors were her nation-toppling beauty and her graceful, voluptuous figure.
However, as for the rumored aloof and elegant temperament, like a snow lotus on a frozen mountain... the Lucia before her seemed to deviate from this image. For instance, right now, her posture was not at all as cold and proud as a snow lotus.
Instead, she was more like a Rose, delicate and alluring, practically dripping with dew.
’But~’
The Elf Queen’s gaze was firmly captivated by the sight of the intertwining Holy Light. The scene was so lewd it was breathtaking, causing her red lips to part slightly, as if she had forgotten to close them.
Her azure eyes trembled slightly with the flickering of the Holy Light, and her heart began to race for the first time in a long while.
As a Queen who had lived for ten thousand years, she had never witnessed such a soul-shaking sight in her long life. But recently, it seemed she had been seeing a bit too much of it.
Su Xuan and Lucia, Su Xuan and Beiya Leila, Su Xuan and Yuluxi, Su Xuan and... her own wicked thoughts!
"This little rascal is really something~" the Elf Queen sighed softly. Her impression of Su Xuan was now set in stone.
’As expected of a man who consorts with a Succubus. Sooner or later, anyone around him will be eaten clean!’
Just as the Elf Queen was admiring the magnificent Holy War, Su Xuan slightly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the crack in the tree hollow.
"Hmm?"
He felt an inexplicable sensation of being watched, but no matter how he searched, he couldn’t pinpoint the other party’s presence.
"Why did you stop?" Lucia noticed something was off with Su Xuan and turned around in confusion to ask him.
"Do you feel like someone is peeping at us?" Su Xuan asked back in a low voice.
"How could that be! Impossible!"
Lucia’s cheeks flushed crimson the moment she heard Su Xuan’s words.
’There’s no way I could let anyone see me in this shameful state. I’d rather be punished by having to copy the Holy Scripture of Light a hundred times!’
As for whether someone was actually peeping at them, she hadn’t detected anyone with her Perception.
Therefore, she could guarantee that no being below the Demigod Level was watching their Holy War.
And as for anyone above Demigod Level...
This was the holy land of the Elf Race, protected by the Elf Queen and the Elf Mother Tree. They would never permit any Demigod Level existence to pry into this place.
As for the Elf Queen and the Elf Mother Tree, it was even more impossible!
’The Elf Queen is hailed as the most perfect woman in the world. How could her character and dignity allow her to do something like peeping?’
"Stop being so paranoid and finish up!" Lucia urged Su Xuan. If they didn’t finish soon, the Elf Race’s event would be over!
"Alright, alright!"
SMACK!
Su Xuan chuckled, his large hand landing on Lucia’s honeyed rear.
A crisp sound echoed inside the tree hollow, immediately followed by a delicate cry as melodious and graceful as a nightingale’s song~
But even so, Su Xuan still felt that someone was watching them.
And—!
’It’s not just one pair of eyes!’
But since Lucia had said so, he didn’t pay it too much mind.
After all, Lucia’s Perception was top-tier in the Guild. Since she’d said it was fine, there probably wasn’t a problem.

’Phew~ I almost got caught~’
The Elf Queen once again cautiously peeked out, her gaze penetrating the tree hollow to watch the scene inside.
She also felt puzzled inwardly, wondering why she had developed such a strong interest in these things.
’Or rather, is it not these things that interest me, but the people doing them?’
One was the President of the Adventurer’s Guild who had helped her escape her wicked thoughts, and the other was the current Pope of the Bright Church Court.
Both of them interested her deeply, even if they were doing something... heart-pounding.
"Lucia!"
"Wait! Outside! Outside!!"
"Don’t!"
"!!!"
As the Holy Song ceased, the Holy War inside the tree hollow came to an end.
Lucia hurriedly took out some Holy Water to wash away the traces of the Holy War, while Su Xuan, standing to the side, had a look in his eyes that suggested he wasn’t quite finished yet. He still wanted more...
Ahem~
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Su Xuan felt someone else’s gaze again. He looked up alertly, his eyes quickly scanning the entrance of the tree hollow.
However, there was still no one there.
He frowned, a trace of doubt rising in his heart.
Just as he was pondering, Lucia’s voice broke the silence. "Su Xuan, can you help me? This part seems a little... oh, wait, I think I can handle it myself."
