"Lin Xueyin? Don't think we'll be afraid of you just because you're some ridiculous pastor."
"Oh, since you're not afraid of me, then what are you saying? If you have the guts to say it, then say it; if you don't have the guts to do it, then heh, you're all just so-so."
Volume 4: Kerluqin Forest: Chapter 12 The Princess and the Queen
Before the banquet officially began, some elves came to cause trouble for her. Lin Xueyin didn't believe that the real high-ranking people wouldn't know about these things and would just be watching the show from the sidelines. Since they had already come to cause trouble, they wouldn't blame her for making a scene.
Watching Lin Xueyin and the two elven men escalate their argument, Urna showed no concern whatsoever. He even pulled the somewhat worried Aria aside to watch from the sidelines.
He knew very well that Lin Xueyin was a guest brought by the elves, while he was the human envoy. The conflicts between Lin Xueyin and these elves, no matter how much they argued, were ultimately just a matter between the host and the guest.
This is also why Lin Xueyin stopped him earlier and took all the blame. In other words, if things really escalated, it could only be said that these elves didn't know how to treat guests, while the human envoy himself had already been deliberately marginalized by Lin Xueyin.
"Little girl, don't think that just because you have a princess as your backer, we won't dare to do anything to you. This is the Elf race, not your human race."
Is this disrespect towards their own princess? Lin Xueyin glanced unintentionally at the princess, whose face was already covered in frost, who was not far away from her. Hmmm, for the sake of her own life, she decided to keep quiet.
"Could you tell me, what is the difference between me and a human princess?"
Seeing that Lin Xueyin dared not say another word, the elven noble was about to press his advantage when he heard a cold voice behind him, making the two of them unable to believe their ears for a moment.
"What? Am I, Princess, so lowly that you can ignore me at will?"
"Princess, Your Highness, shouldn't you be with those priests..."
"Yes, I should be with those forest priests, but I don't need you to insult my friends." Beneath the cold voice lay boundless rage.
The two elves could clearly sense the silent rage emanating from her. Wasn't it said that the princess was simply accompanying her on a trip? Wasn't it said that the princess didn't like this little girl? How come the wind has suddenly changed?
"You're all very good. Now, tell me, why are you causing trouble for Yukine?"
"We...we never intended to look for Miss Lin..."
"If you don't want trouble, then what are you doing here? Don't tell me you were just chatting here."
Her sharp eyes swept silently over the people around her, and the whispers that had been swirling around them fell silent. In an instant, the powerful aura of a princess of the clan filled the air.
"Yukine, what do you think we should do?"
"Huh? Do you need to ask me that? I'm not an elf, am I?" Suddenly, Luo Yu turned the conversation to Lin Xueyin, causing her to exclaim in surprise.
"Luo Yu, let's just forget about it. They didn't say anything."
When Urna heard Lin Xueyin say this, he wanted to speak out in disagreement, but then he swallowed his words. After all, he had already been pushed aside, and it would be inappropriate for him to speak out now.
"Xueyin, are you really going to let them go like this?" Luo Yu glanced at Lin Xueyin quietly, and seeing that there was no abnormality on her face, she turned her gaze over here.
He gave a cold, forced smile, and was just about to speak when he heard the Queen's imminent call.
The Queen descended the spiral staircase on the second floor, her light blue evening gown complementing her long, emerald green hair, her perfect beauty captivating and stunning.
Her delicate eyebrows were like autumn waters, her jade-like skin swayed gently in the breeze. She moved like a wisp of cloud emerging from a mountain peak, her waist swaying gracefully like a willow branch. I've seen many beauties: Irabel's aloofness, Aria's dashing spirit, and Luo Yu's regal elegance. But only Nana could rival this Elf Queen. That alluring charm, both righteous and wicked, emanating from her very bones, could truly rival Her Majesty.
"Luo Yu, this is a banquet hosted by our Elven race to welcome the human ambassador. We must not be impolite."
"Yes, Mother." Luo Yu watched as Her Majesty the Queen arrived in the center of the hall, her beautiful, watery eyes calmly scanning the surrounding crowd.
"Yukine, come to me."
"Huh? I'm going over there?" Lin Xueyin was a little flattered to hear the Elf Queen calling her over. She looked at Luo Yu and saw that she was also a little confused, so she could only nod and head towards the Elf Queen.
"Xueyin, come here..." He pulled the girl who had come to his side to the center of the crowd, his stern eyes looking at the people around him. His lips, naturally red, parted and opened, and his voice, though melodious, was also imposing.
"This is Lin Xueyin of the human race, the legendary holy priest who can resurrect the dead. I specially invited her here to do our elf race a great favor."
At this point, Her Majesty the Queen glanced at the crowd around her again, a smile playing on her lips, and continued, "In my capacity as Queen of the Elf race, I hereby declare that Lin Xueyin is the most honored guest of my Elf race, and she shall not be treated with the slightest disrespect wherever she is."
These words left the two elves who had just been causing trouble for Lin Xueyin speechless. They had been annoyed by a human wandering around aimlessly, and now, well, she had become their most esteemed friend.
If anyone were to disrespect her, it would be an insult to their own queen. Although the elves do not value power, the queen is the representative of the elven race. To insult her would be no different from insulting the entire elven race.
As for Lin Xueyin, she had no idea what the queen's words meant and just stared blankly at the equally bewildered crowd around her.
She looked to Luo Yu and Ailiya for help, only to see them exchange wry smiles before slowly walking to her side, preparing to pull her aside for a proper explanation. Of course, she also needed to explain herself to them.
"Alright, Luo Yu, let's have you and Xue Yin dance together for the first dance. I don't think anyone will have any objections if we start with your dance."
Well, so they directly created the personnel for the first dance. But is it really okay for two girls to dance together?
Luo Yu was overjoyed to hear that she would be able to dance the first dance with Lin Xueyin. However, Lin Xueyin was stunned. Dancing with Luo Yu was fine, but the main problem was that she couldn't dance. Yes, Lin Xueyin was completely inept at dancing.
Volume 4, Kerrochin Forest: Chapter Thirteen, The Jade Dragon (Part 1)
Lin Xueyin, who was lying in bed and unable to sleep due to guilt, fully experienced what it was like to dance with an elf princess.
She danced a dance unique to the elves that she knew nothing about, stomping hard on Luo Yu's jade feet. Finally, thanks to the Elf Queen's perfect intervention, the suppressed low laughter of the elves could no longer be heard.
"Ugh, I'm so ashamed to show my face in public."
Biting the blanket, its bright blue eyes were already brimming with tears, its aggrieved expression seemingly telling how sad its owner was at that moment.
The nights for elves are not much different from those for humans; outside the exquisite windows, one can see the same bright silver moon and the eerie crimson blood moon.
As the night breeze gently blows, time passes little by little. When darkness is replaced by light, a brand new day begins with the rhythmic knocking at the door.
Lin Xueyin, still half asleep from sleeping too late last night, opened her eyes, looked at the bright sunshine outside, shook her head, and was about to lie down for another nap when she heard the knocking on the door again, just as the person who had woken her up earlier was doing so.
"Ugh, what's wrong? I'm not awake yet."
"Xueyin, didn't we agree yesterday that I'd take you to see the Jade Dragon today? Why aren't you awake yet?"
Hearing the noise outside, Lin Xueyin remembered that she had made an appointment with Luo Yu before the party yesterday, and that Luo Yu would take her to see the Jade Dragon of the Elf race today.
These are the legendary pets of the forest goddess. Although there are quite a few of them, their existence is one of the reasons why many surrounding countries dare not turn their attention to the elves.
Without the deterrence of force, how can there be peace? Especially on this turbulent continent, absolute peace is absolutely impossible without such high-level military power.
"Okay, I understand. Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
She hurriedly dressed and opened the door. Looking at the beautiful young woman outside, who was already dressed neatly, Lin Xueyin always felt that she was like an ugly duckling in front of the swan, with her noble temperament that could not be hidden even if she was plain.
"Xueyin, really, how can you go out like this? Come in with me."
Seeing the girl hurriedly opening the door, dressed so simply, Luo Yu couldn't bear it. Before, it didn't matter what she did, since it was their first time meeting. But this time, she was the most esteemed friend of the Elf Clan. How could she dress so casually as before?
They carefully helped Lin Xueyin put on some gorgeous elven clothes. Not only were the decorations on the clothes made of fine fabric, but the clothes themselves also had some intricate patterns, which made the wearer look even more elegant.
"Hmm, Luo Yu, I'm not used to wearing these clothes."
"Hmm? Not used to wearing it? You'll get used to it eventually. Besides, these clothes should be quite comfortable to wear. They're made from silk threads produced by the Tree of Life, which are incredibly valuable even among humans."
Huh? This is priceless material, and it's only for this one garment? Lin Xueyin looked at the meticulously woven garment and suddenly felt a little confused about the existence of the elves. Are all elves this rich?
After meticulously grooming Lin Xueyin's beautiful blonde hair, he finally clapped his hands and showed her to herself in the mirror. Her pretty face, paired with her exquisitely styled long blonde hair, left Lin Xueyin utterly amazed by her reflection.
"Alright, let's go to the Jade Dragon's territory. It's quite a distance from here."
"But is it really okay for us to keep going out and having fun like this? Her Majesty asked me for help, but so far I haven't helped at all and have only been troubling you. I feel so bad about that."
Luo Yu placed her hand on Lin Xueyin's long hair and said softly, "It's alright. Mother is still making preparations, which should take a few more days. Let's take this time to have some fun. Once things get busy again, who knows when it will end?"
It seemed that what the other person said made some sense. Lin Xueyin nodded in agreement and was then pulled by the hand to the door. There, she saw a carriage that had been prepared and pulled by two silver-white unicorns. The patterns carved on it were even more magnificent than the one she had ridden in before.
"let's go."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Yu had already taken Lin Xueyin's hand and led her to the carriage. Looking at Ailiya running towards them from behind, Lin Xueyin really wanted to take her along, but saw her shake her head helplessly.
“Xueyin, it’s not that I don’t want to take her, but that place is a secret place for the elves. You are our guest, and the Queen Mother specifically instructed that you be allowed to go, but she is not qualified.”
Well, Lin Xueyin was speechless at this point. It was already quite good that the other party's military intimidation was enough for her to see. It would be unrealistic to let envoys from other countries see it as well.
Knowing Lin Xueyin's destination, Ailiya understood that it was not a place she could go, so she waved her hand, telling Lin Xueyin to go and play first, and she would come over when she returned.
If Urna were here, she would probably understand what these elves were planning. Unfortunately, the two girls who came were complete novices when it came to such matters and had no sensitivity to them.
As the carriage moved forward, Lin Xueyin arrived at the same temple as before, and was once again blindfolded before being teleported to a completely unfamiliar place.
"This is?"
"We've already left our main city. Let me take you to see those awake Jade Dragons first."
The Jade Dragon, hailed as the pinnacle of the Elven race, along with the Black Dragon of the Demon race, and the Red and Blue Dragons who live in seclusion overseas, are among the most powerful races on the entire continent.
Aside from the Demon King's clan, few beings can rival them. It is said that the Black Dragon clan became their vassals after being defeated by the Demons in a great war. Although they maintain their independence, they belong solely to the Demon King's clan and obey only the Demon King's commands.
Moreover, the Jade Dragon is said to be the pet of the Forest Goddess. Blessed by the Forest Goddess, it is skilled in using natural magic and also possesses the powerful physique unique to dragons.
Whether in close combat or ranged attacks, they are incredibly powerful. They possess wisdom and are not as irritable as other dragons. They can be considered rare wise beings among the dragons. Lin Xueyin was very excited to see them here.
Volume 4: Kerrochin Forest: Chapter 14 The Jade Dragon (Part 2)
Its massive, emerald-green body was larger than the tallest building he had ever seen. Its hard scales seemed capable of withstanding any sharp weapon, and two long, thin whiskers hung from its ferocious head. Its dark pupils were filled with an inexplicable gleam.
"Little girl, why did you bring a human girl here this time?"
“Uncle Everle, I was just worried you were too lonely, so I brought my friend over to play with you.”
Lin Xueyin seemed to see a hint of a smile on her face as the dragon lowered its head. However, given the ferocious appearance of the dragon, she wondered if she was mistaken. She scratched her head and looked at the dragon with the characteristics of a Western dragon.
Despite its ferocious appearance, why does it speak in such a soft and cute voice? Yes, soft and cute—clearly an adorable female dragon, yet possessing such a terrifying face. Most importantly, Luo Yu calls it "uncle."
Her values seemed a bit distorted, but Lin Xueyin didn't dare to say it aloud. Who knew that if she spoke her mind, this giant Western dragon wouldn't devour her whole?
"Uncle, this is my good friend Lin Xueyin, a holy priest of the human race. She's very powerful. And let me tell you, she can truly resurrect the dead."
A pair of beautiful eyes traced a graceful arc, and her pretty little face gently pressed against the ferocious dragon head of Aifel. Her breath, as sweet as orchids, made the dragon's eyes burst forth with dazzling light.
"You mean, this girl can resurrect the dead?"
Her words were tinged with disbelief, and the dragon's mouth seemed to be gently spitting out the news in anticipation. However, Lin Xueyin only smiled bitterly as she spoke.
"It's not that exaggerated. Although I can resurrect people, I can't help them if they've been dead for too long. And I can't help people who die of natural causes either."
Lin Xueyin's words dimmed the expectant look in Aifel's eyes, and he could only sigh softly, "So that's how it is. I was wondering why. If we could resurrect without limit, wouldn't the human race become the most powerful race on the continent?"
"I just wonder how many priests among the human race can resurrect others."
Upon hearing Aever's words, Luo Yu chuckled, "Uncle, if the human race had so many priests who could resurrect the dead, we should probably unite and exterminate the human race."
Their casual conversation already revealed the intense killing intent within. Although Lin Xueyin was terrified, she was not stupid. She knew that she was alone now. Although she posed some threat to various countries, as long as only she could do it, she could only affect the battle. In a real war, she really had no significant role.
That makes sense when you think about it. In the battlefield of the game, even if there are battle resurrections, what difference does it make? People who are meant to die will still die, and people who are meant to lose will still lose. If it were really that overpowered, there would be no need to fight. We could just compete to see who has more priests.
