Chapter 442 - 302: The Elf Queen’s Nightmare? Don’t Be Afraid, Queen, I’ll Protect You
"As if!"
Lucia rolled her eyes at Su Xuan’s invitation before gracefully taking a seat.
Lucia had only to slightly raise her delicate, jade-like hand for Alice to understand. She obediently brought her a cup of coffee.
Su Xuan sighed in frustration. ’So this is the authority of the queen bee, huh?’
"Do you have any plans for today?"
Lucia took a small sip of her coffee before asking Su Xuan.
"We still have one C-level Task to complete," Su Xuan answered methodically.
He had, of course, already planned out the day. After finishing this task, they would head to the Elf Kingdom to welcome Paslo.
"Oh~"
After hearing the day’s agenda, Lucia said nothing more, simply continuing to savor her coffee in silence.
Just as she took a sip, Ivsha emerged from Su Xuan’s bedroom, her clothes in disarray. She leaned weakly against the doorframe, casting a pleading gaze at Su Xuan and moaning faintly, "Mr. Su Xuan, could you get me a glass of ice water? Your scorching Holy Light has left my stomach feeling a bit unsettled~"
Lucia: "!?!"
Su Xuan: "Ahem~"
Alice: "Of course~ Just a moment!"
...
「Time flew by, and soon it was three in the afternoon.」
Su Xuan led the guild members back to the Guild.
The final commission for their C-level Task was complete. The objective had merely been to kill a level 65 Rock Giant that stood over thirty meters tall.
For Ivsha and the others, it was a piece of cake. The Rock Giant was utterly destroyed by their Magic before it could even get to its feet.
Back at the Guild, Su Xuan took stock of the remaining C-level Tasks.
Aside from two Guild Achievement Badge tasks, their guild was just one special commission away from being promoted to a C+ Level Guild.
However, the specific description of this special commission wouldn’t be revealed for another three hours.
As for the two Guild Achievement Badge tasks, Su Xuan assigned them directly to Rosaline.
These tasks were of moderate difficulty and primarily focused on combat, making them perfect for honing Rosaline’s Sword Technique.
To ensure her safety, Su Xuan specifically arranged for Kanlutia to accompany her.
Although Kanlutia was extremely reluctant, she was compelled by Su Xuan’s "silver might" and the temptation of his blood. In the end, she had no choice but to stay by Rosaline’s side and ensure the tasks were completed successfully.
"I’m heading out, then."
After settling all the arrangements, Su Xuan prepared to depart for the Elf Kingdom.
However, just as he was about to step into the Teleportation Array, Lucia’s slender, snow-white hand gently landed on his shoulder.
"I’m going with you," Lucia said softly to Su Xuan.
This took Su Xuan by surprise, as Lucia had never been to the Elf Kingdom before.
"What are you going for?" Su Xuan asked, turning to look at her curiously.
Lucia gave a perfunctory reply, "To protect you."
Her answer made Su Xuan chuckle. ’The Holy Maiden isn’t a very good liar, is she?’
But he didn’t press the issue, simply nodding in agreement. "Alright, then you can come with me."
Before he had even finished speaking, Ivsha rushed over, looking at him with an expectant expression. "Mr. Su Xuan~ I want to go too!"
"Me too! Me too!" Alice and the other guild members also gathered around, all expressing their desire to go to the Elf Kingdom as well.
In the end, aside from Mare Rhine, Kanlutia, and Rosaline who remained at the Guild, all the other members followed Su Xuan to the Elf Kingdom.
With a flash of white light from the Teleportation Array, Su Xuan arrived in the Elf Kingdom.
As soon as he stepped out of the Teleportation Array, he saw Fuli and Flora, who had been waiting for some time. With them was their mother, Beiya Leila.
"Alice? Ivsha? Why are you guys here too?" Fuli and Flora were pleasantly surprised to see Alice and the others with Su Xuan, and they both trotted over to greet them.
"We..."
Su Xuan naturally chose to ignore the children’s conversation and walked straight toward Beiya Leila.
"Long time no see."
Su Xuan greeted Beiya Leila with a smile.
"Yes~ It has been a long time~"
Beiya Leila gave a charming smile, then her gaze shifted to Lucia and Ivsha behind Su Xuan. "Hello," she greeted.
Ivsha smiled and waved in response. "Good afternoon, Rella."
She had been to the Elf Kingdom before and had dinner with Beiya Leila, so of course they knew each other.
Lucia, on the other hand, was visiting the Elf Kingdom with Su Xuan for the first time, so this was her first meeting with Beiya Leila.
"Mm."
She responded with a simple sound, her reply concise and reserved, revealing no emotion.
Of course, this was Lucia’s usual demeanor.
Her relaxed and carefree attitude at the Guild was a rare sight, to say nothing of her embarrassing state during her "Holy War" with Su Xuan...
Ahem~

"President Su Xuan~"
Just then, Alina approached with her Elf Guards, walking briskly toward Su Xuan’s position. "Paslo will arrive at the Elf Royal Palace in ten minutes. Your timing is impeccable."
Su Xuan turned to Alina and asked, "Was it your idea to have Paslo deliver the Semi-Divine Artifact in person?"
Alina gave a slight nod, not denying it. "More or less."
At the same time, her gaze naturally fell upon the Adventurers standing with Su Xuan. This was the first time she had seen the members of the Su Xuan Guild.
Aside from Fuli and Flora, they were all strangers to her...
"Hm?"
Alina’s gaze suddenly froze on Lucia. There was something strangely familiar about the white-veiled Saintess, but she couldn’t immediately recall who she was.
In response, Lucia merely gave her an indifferent glance, her expression showing no hint of emotion.
