Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Su Xuan nodded understandingly, carefully placed the Elf Branch into his backpack, and then turned to leave the Elf Queen’s room.

The Elf Queen watched Su Xuan leave. Only after the door closed did she retract her gaze and immerse herself once more in the mountain of work before her.

Though her gaze was gentle, her expression revealed a hint of helplessness as she looked at the affairs piled high on her desk and sighed.

Even as a Queen, she was weary of her work. But the heavy responsibility she shouldered left her no choice but to bear it in silence and continue handling the mounting affairs of state.

The moment Su Xuan stepped out of the room, he saw Alina standing at the door, patiently waiting for him.

"Finished talking?"

Alina hopped lightly in front of Su Xuan like a lively little rabbit and asked curiously.

Su Xuan nodded. "Yeah."

"So... did the Queen agree?" Alina asked, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, her concern for the outcome clear.

"Mhm." Su Xuan nodded again and replied calmly, "Also, the Queen wants me to go with you to the Dark Forbidden Forest to see Paslo."

"You’re going with me?"

Alina was surprised to hear this, unable to understand the Queen’s reasoning.

The mission was something she could have handled alone; after all, the task was simply to relay a message.

But since it was an order from the Elf Queen, she naturally didn’t question it.

"Alright then. We’ll set off at first light."

"Sounds good," Su Xuan replied, then asked, "Since it’s not dawn yet, can I sleep in your room for a bit?"

"?"

Hearing his words, Alina looked at Su Xuan suspiciously, her eyes filled with utter disbelief.

But once she snapped out of it, she immediately retorted, "Absolutely not!"

"Then where am I supposed to go?" Su Xuan asked Alina with a frown.

"Go to Rella’s place~" Alina answered dismissively. "Her Majesty the Queen has already assigned new quarters for the mother and her two daughters. They’re in the chambers right next to mine."

"I can’t. How could I possibly disturb them at this hour?"

Su Xuan shook his head. ’Fuli and Flora are growing girls. I can’t disturb their sleep.’

"??? So you think it’s okay to disturb me then?"

Alina’s face was a mask of utter confusion. She simply could not comprehend Su Xuan’s logic.

"You’re the one who told me to find you in the Royal City. You should take responsibility for me," Su Xuan said with a shrug.

"You can go back to the Guild. I’ll notify you when I’m about to leave." Alina shot Su Xuan a look, her opinion of him plummeting.

"..."

Su Xuan completely ignored Alina’s suggestion and walked straight toward her bedchambers.

"Hey! Stop right there!"

Alina scrambled after him, but she still couldn’t stop him, allowing him to force his way into her private bedroom...

Morning arrived in the blink of an eye.

As the first rays of sunshine streamed into the bedchamber, Su Xuan slowly opened his eyes, waking up on Alina’s translucent Crystal Bed.

Meanwhile, Alina was sitting beside him, sulking resentfully about him having commandeered her Crystal Bed.

"It’s about time. Let’s get going."

Su Xuan stood up, stretched lazily, and said to Alina.

"Took you long enough!"

Alina glared at Su Xuan, then got up and followed him as they headed for the Forbidden Forest.

The Elf Race had a magical mode of transportation. A leaf from the apex of the Elf Mother Tree could serve as an airship, carrying Elves anywhere they wished. It was incredibly fast, capable of traveling immense distances in a single day.

However, the Dark Forbidden Forest was still thousands of kilometers from the Elf Kingdom. Even with the magical power of the Elf Mother Tree, it would take them several hours to reach their destination.

Su Xuan didn’t mind the travel time. He was just a little curious. ’The relationship between the Elves and the Dark Elves doesn’t seem to be what I imagined.’

This was because dozens of Elf Guards were accompanying them for their protection.

"Try not to talk much when we get there. I’ll handle everything," Alina instructed in a low voice, sitting beside Su Xuan.

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow at Alina. "That confident, are you?"

"But of course~" Alina puffed out her chest confidently and smiled. "Don’t assume that just because you’ve met a few Dark Elves, you understand their ways. There’s a reason they’re called *Dark* Elves, and it’s not just a name change."

"..."

Su Xuan fell silent for a moment, lost in thought.

’It’s true my knowledge of the Dark Elves is still shallow,’ he mused. ’It’s limited to the fact that they were corrupted by the forbidden power of the Elf Mother Tree.’

’Other than their personalities changing and dark-silver markings appearing on their skin, I know very few other details.’

’Oh, right!’

’They can also get huge!’

’Paslo is the perfect example. Her body is an astonishing five or six meters tall, and her Elf ears are even more shockingly long, a full two to three meters.’

’If you stood behind her, that pair of ears would look just like twin-tails!’

"Alright, I understand," Su Xuan agreed in a low voice, giving a nod.

Alina merely shot him a brief glance before turning to gaze quietly ahead, waiting for their arrival.

When the Elf Leaf touched down, they had arrived at the Dark Forbidden Forest.

The accompanying Elf Guards immediately grew tense, raising their weapons as if ready for battle.

"Let’s go."

Alina, by contrast, maintained her elegance and composure, walking toward the Dark Elves’ domain without a hint of panic.

The moment they stepped into the Dark Forest, they immediately became the focus of the wary Dark Elves.

In a flash, dozens of Dark Elves leaped down from the surrounding trees, swiftly encircling them.

"Elves! You trespass in the Forbidden Forest. What is your purpose here!" the Dark Elves demanded in unison, their voices filled with wariness and hostility toward the group led by Alina.

Among the group of Dark Elves, Su Xuan was surprised to spot a familiar face—Niru.

"Niru?"

"Su Xuan!?"

Niru recognized Su Xuan, and the other Dark Elves also remembered the human who had visited before, which caused the tense situation to ease slightly.

However, the hostility between the two sides did not completely vanish just because of this flicker of recognition.

The chasm and conflict between the Elves and the Dark Elves could not be resolved overnight.

Even with Su Xuan present, both sides remained in a standoff, the atmosphere tense and grave.

"I must see Paslo. Lead the way."

Alina took a few steps forward, her tone calm as she addressed the Dark Elves.

"Princess Alina?"

Upon recognizing Princess Alina, the Dark Elves’ attitude changed dramatically. They bowed their heads to her in salute.

This change surprised Su Xuan. He hadn’t expected Alina to hold such a revered status among the Dark Elves.

"Please come with us."

The Dark Elves immediately led Su Xuan and the others toward their settlement.

And so, Su Xuan once again saw the Dark Elves’ settlement and the Elf who stood over five meters tall—Paslo.

She was sitting with great poise on the ground, surrounded by numerous Dark Elves, apparently discussing some important matter.

The arrival of the Elves, led by Alina, broke the tranquil atmosphere.

The gazes of the Dark Elves turned toward Su Xuan’s group, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

"We have guests?" Seeing Alina, Paslo slowly rose to her feet and walked toward them.

GULP.

Seeing Paslo again, Su Xuan couldn’t help but swallow hard.

’In front of this Dark Elf, even if I used my Half-Dragon Transformation, I would probably still look tiny!’

’It’s a feeling of... unfathomable depth?’

"Alina, what brings you here for a discussion?" Paslo asked gently, her eyes glancing casually at Su Xuan, who stood nearby.

Up close, Paslo’s intimidating presence was even stronger, making Su Xuan’s heart beat a little faster.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he had some strange fetish. ’For example... do I just have a thing for big women?’𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
