Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

"Su Xuan," Niru approached quietly, her gaze holding a hint of curiosity. "Why did you come here with Princess Alina?"

Su Xuan’s gaze shifted from Paslo and Princess Alina, who were talking inside the wooden cabin, to Niru. "At someone’s request."

"Was it the Elf Queen?" Niru asked softly, her voice seemingly tinged with complex emotions.

"Yes," Su Xuan answered frankly, with no intention of hiding it from Niru.

Hearing this, Niru lowered her head slightly. Her deep, dark purple eyes seemed to be veiled in a thin mist as if she were lost in thought.

"Do you all... still resent the Elf Queen?" Su Xuan asked Niru with some concern.

"Resentment?"

Niru mulled it over for a moment before shaking her head. Her tone was somewhat cold as she replied, "More than hatred, we’re confused. Why would she cast us aside so cruelly after using us?"

"Is that what you all think? But the truth might not be what it seems." Su Xuan’s brow furrowed upon hearing Niru’s words.

’I hadn’t expected the Dark Elves to believe the Elf Queen had used and then ruthlessly abandoned them.’

"I don’t know the full truth either, since I wasn’t among the first Dark Elves," Niru continued. "But this is the source of Lady Paslo’s sorrow, and we only wish to fight for her!"

"..."

Su Xuan fell silent at Niru’s addendum.

He was beginning to understand that the root of the conflict between the Elves and Dark Elves likely stemmed from a schism between the Elf Queen and the Dark Elf Leader, Paslo.

They were once the closest of friends, but something drove them apart, ultimately leading to the formation of two separate groups: the Elves and the Dark Elves.

Of course, the number of Dark Elves was far smaller than that of regular Elves, making up only about three percent of the total population.

However, they possessed immense Power. Compared to an Elf of the same Level, they were about 20% stronger.

What was more noteworthy was that this gap in Power became even more pronounced as their Level increased.

A Dark Elf above Level 80 could potentially match two regular Elves of the same Level.

But this formidable Power came at a price. The mental state of the Dark Elves would gradually grow strange before they eventually went mad.

However, Su Xuan found this particular point extremely strange.

His gaze drifted unconsciously toward Paslo, who was speaking with Alina, and a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes.

’Because Paslo’s personality didn’t match the description of a Dark Elf at all.’

As a Level 94 Dark Elf, she was only a hair’s breadth away from the Demigod realm. Logically, a Dark Elf of this Level should have been driven to extreme madness by her Power.

But puzzlingly, Paslo displayed an unexpected calmness and gentleness. Her elegance and composure could even rival that of the Elf Queen.

"Oh, right! Su Xuan!"

Niru suddenly broke him out of his thoughts. She gripped Su Xuan’s hand tightly and pleaded, "Could I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it? Go ahead," Su Xuan replied.

"Lady Paslo’s current condition still requires the Elf Mother Tree’s Elemental Divine Liquid for treatment, so I was hoping you could help us! Of course! I’ll be sure to give you a generous reward!" Although Niru’s tone was sincere, her eyes betrayed an unconcealable anxiety.

Clearly, the impoverished Dark Elves couldn’t offer a reward of equal value to the Elf Mother Tree’s Elemental Divine Liquid.

"I’ll do what I can."

Su Xuan nodded, accepting Niru’s request, but he didn’t see a quest acceptance notification appear.

’This is probably because Niru can’t provide the quest reward immediately and needs some time to prepare it.’

"That’s wonderful!"

Hearing Su Xuan’s response, Niru’s face lit up with a brilliant smile. She added apologetically, "Please rest assured, I will gather the reward as quickly as possible. If I really can’t manage it..."

She bit her lower lip and said resolutely, "I am willing to become your servant and work myself to the bone for you!"

"Ahem~ That won’t be necessary."

Su Xuan quickly waved his hand, declining the offer. ’That’s too heavy a price.’

"No, that won’t do. We of the Elf Race never go back on our vows." Niru shook her head forcefully, almost as if she couldn’t wait to be his workhorse.

’What exactly is the reward Niru plans to give me?’

He then asked, "So, what is this reward you want to give me?"

Niru smiled faintly, a confident light glinting in her eyes. "I can’t tell you right now, but I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

"?"

"Su Xuan!"

Just then, Alina walked over to them, interrupting their conversation.

Su Xuan turned to Alina and asked, "Have you relayed the Elf Queen’s message to Paslo?"

"Yes."

Alina nodded, shot a cold glance at Niru standing off to the side, and then said with a light chuckle, "Paslo needs some time to think it over. We can return to the Elf Kingdom now."

"Then let’s head back," Su Xuan replied, getting ready to leave with Alina.

However, just as he was about to leave, Alina suddenly stopped him, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. "Hey now~ You can’t go back just yet~"

"?"

Confusion was written all over Su Xuan’s face; he didn’t quite understand what Alina meant.

"You need to stay and help Paslo stabilize the seal," Alina said with a smile, gently poking the tip of Su Xuan’s nose with her finger.
