Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

Volume 4: Kerluqin Forest: Chapter 28 Misunderstanding

The idea of ​​becoming a guest elder of the Elven race and staying with them filled Lin Xueyin with a sense of crisis. She had originally thought that the Elven race itself would not have any ambition to expand outwards, but she did not expect that her very existence was a threat.

He simply used the phrase "This is too sudden, let me think about it" to buy himself some time and avoid giving an immediate answer. However, even when he tried to delay, there was a time limit.

Lin Xueyin felt as if she had shot herself in the foot. She had thought the elves wouldn't do anything, but she hadn't expected them to choose to leave her here.

"Too clever by half," Lin Xueyin suddenly thought to herself. If she had returned to the Xima Empire and come here with the envoy group, she could still be considered an envoy, and the other party would have some reservations. But now, they were completely unprepared.

"Yukine, you're thinking about that again. Why don't you just refuse?"

Hearing Ailiya's carefree words, Lin Xueyin scratched her head in a bit of a dilemma, and sighed helplessly with her pouting sexy little mouth.

“Aria, do you think I don’t want to refuse? But this isn’t a human empire, it’s an elven race that stands on the same continent as humans. Although I’m saying this to flatter myself, a being that can revive comrades on the battlefield is a threat in itself.”

Staring blankly at her friend, Ailiya hesitated, but ultimately didn't say anything. Instead, she continued to listen to Lin Xueyin.

"How awful! Why did this have to happen? If I had known, I wouldn't have resurrected those elves in Azure Dream. Now look what's happened, the High Priest must have told the Queen everything, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a hurry to make me a guest minister."

"You mean the High Priest told the Elf Queen everything about your performance in Azure Dream?"

Aria opened her mouth slightly in surprise, looking at the somewhat frantic girl. Suddenly, a feeling of wanting to laugh lingered in her heart and then surfaced on her pretty face.

"You, you're still laughing? Don't you have any friendship at all? What about love? Don't you give me any love at all?"

"Yes, yes, I give you love, I give you my truest and most sincere love..."

The crisp clanging sound of something falling to the ground temporarily ended the friendly interaction between Ailiya and Lin Xueyin.

Luo Yu stared in disbelief at the scene before her. Ailiya gently touched Lin Xueyin's pointed chin with her finger, while the other woman, her face flushed (from the rush of blood to her head due to her recent outburst), looked up at Ailiya with hazy eyes and a sweet breath.

This scene, which seemed like—no, it was a genuine confession—made Luo Yu stomp her foot angrily and stride aggressively toward the two who had separated like startled birds because of her interruption.

"Yukine, Aria, what were you doing just now?"

Although she was filled with rage, Luo Yu tried her best to suppress it, not wanting to let the flames about to explode, and to avoid showing too much anger. However, some of her sharp voices still made it clear that the speaker was not at peace.

"Hey, Luo Yu, are you angry?"

When Lin Xueyin saw Luo Yu's dark face, she felt a sense of guilt for some reason. It was like the feeling she had when the male protagonist in a harem anime was caught by the female protagonist being with other girls outside.

Lin Xueyin looked at the elf princess who was slowly walking towards her, and whose aura grew exponentially with every step. Lin Xueyin hid behind Ailiya in fear.

Sensing Lin Xueyin's fear, Ailiya gently patted her slightly cold hand that was tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, and fixed her eyes on the elven princess.

"Your Highness, may I ask what brings you here today?"

"What? You don't welcome me?" Luo Yu shifted her gaze from Lin Xueyin to Ailiya, who was protecting her behind her. It was no wonder that Xueyin liked her so much because of her heroic and valiant temperament, but that was all.

She wasn't particularly pretty, and the fact that she had been away fighting for a long time had made her skin less than one would expect. Moreover, it was obvious that this woman came from a poor family, which made it difficult for her to have that aristocratic air. In short, she was just a country girl.

However, this country bumpkin dared to lay her hands on her woman, which made her very unhappy. If she were an elf, she would definitely teach her a lesson. But now, she naturally had her own way of dealing with it.

"It's not that you're not welcome, it's just that Your Highness is so busy..."

"You should come and see Xueyin even if you're busy, don't you think?" As she was speaking, a pair of slightly narrowed, threatening eyes fell on Lin Xueyin, making her shyly hide behind Ailiya again.

She shuddered in shock, then nodded rather spinelessly, indicating that what she said was true.

Looking at her timid friend, Aria could only shake her head helplessly. This girl was really good at everything. She was just as fierce as a warrior when fighting, always scaring her heart. How come she was behaving like a frightened kitten now?

Seeing Lin Xueyin nod timidly, Luo Yu calmed her anger slightly and pulled her out from behind the eyesore, Ailiya. Although the other party was not cooperating, as a princess of a country, she still had some dignity.

Of course, that's not the point. Actually, it was only after she assured Lin Xueyin that she wouldn't do anything to her that she finally let go of Lin Xueyin's protection, allowing her to easily release the girl who was cautiously glancing at her expression.

"Why weren't you like this back in Azure Dreamland?"

"How can that be the same? You're not enemies, you're my friend."

He spoke with conviction and self-righteousness, yet his face showed utter grievance. He felt he hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he being angry with him?

Luo Yu was at a loss for words after being interrupted by Lin Xueyin. However, since the other party dared to confess to Lin Xueyin, she shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.

"Xueyin, Mother told me that the Emerald Dreamland has now completely stabilized and can be entered at any time."

"This time it'll be fine. Don't let it be like before, where I hadn't even gone in before I discovered that the energy inside was raging, and we had to wait for several more days."

The sentence "So many strange things happened on my end" was left unsaid.

"Don't worry, it's all arranged, we can go in anytime."

Lin Xueyin glanced at Ailiya, feeling uneasy for some reason, yet unable to pinpoint the problem. She could only blame herself for being a bit of a worrywart. She then agreed to go to the palace with Luo Yu the next day, preparing to head to the Emerald Dreamland.

Volume 4, Kerrochin Forest: Chapter 29 The Demon Clan's Strange Movements

It wasn't the darkness Lin Xueyin had imagined, but rather, just like everyone else, within the Demon Clan's majestic Demon King's Castle, where a voluptuous woman dressed in casual black clothes held a glass of blood-red wine, quietly gazing at the bright sunshine outside.

Behind her, a nobleman kneeling on the ground trembled and lowered his head, not daring to look up at the elegant and beautiful woman.

"You mean, the Azure Dream of the Elven race has been completely quelled, and it was Lin Xueyin who did it?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." The flat, emotionless voice made it impossible to discern the speaker's true feelings, leaving the listener completely at a loss for words or actions.

"Heh, I didn't expect this little girl to be so capable, actually daring to enter the Azure Dream. Luckily she's alright, otherwise..."

Seeing the Demon King muttering to himself while gazing at the glass of blood-red, alluring wine, she had something on her mind that she wanted to say but dared not utter aloud.

"What, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, Morogal is furious because Lin Xueyin broke his demonic energy, so, so..."

"So what?"

The Demon King quietly turned around and fixed his aggressive gaze on the subordinate kneeling in front of him. How could a mere Morogal cause trouble so easily?

"He found the assassin clan, hoping to use them to assassinate those who ruined his plans within the Emerald Dream..."

"How dare he! Who gave him the right to arbitrarily mobilize the assassin clan to cause trouble for Xueyin? Does he have a death wish? Also, tell Morogal that if Xueyin loses even a single hair, I will make his entire clan pay with their lives. If Xueyin unfortunately suffers an accident, hehe, then let him wait for the arrival of the Black Dragon Clan."

Her words already revealed her murderous intent, but the Demon King turned his gaze back to the wine glass. The talisman he had left her earlier would naturally prevent any accidents from happening to her, but she could suffer a little.

Let her know that the outside world is too dangerous without me, and it'll save her from running around aimlessly in the future. As if thinking of something, a captivating smile curved at the corner of her lips.

"Yukine, I wonder if you'll cry when you see me next time. I really want to see your cute face, all wronged and wanting to cry but not daring to."

The crimson wine dripped onto the ground from his crushed hand, filling the kneeling man with terror.

"Go down now, and remember to tell Morogal what I said: my patience is limited."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly convey your words."

After saying that, the man turned and left. Just as he stepped out of the Demon King's castle, he saw the Demon King's personal guard captain running towards him.

"Lord Hermer, please wait."

Seeing that the other man had stopped and was waiting for him, the captain of the guard quickened his pace and came to his side again.

"My lord, has the Demon King given any instructions to Lin Xueyin?"

"Hmm? This is a question that shouldn't be asked by you, nor should it be answered by me. If you have any questions, you can ask His Majesty. I will not give you any answers here."

He stared at the captain of the guards for a moment, sneered, and turned to leave. Although he had great respect for His Majesty the Demon King, how dare a mere guard speak to him in such a tone? He really didn't know who he was.

Watching the other person leave with a cold, mocking laugh, the guard, whose entire face was hidden behind a mask, let out an angry snort and turned to walk inside.

"Lin Xueyin..."

Meanwhile, Lin Xueyin was already prepared in her room, ready to go to the palace with Luo Yu at any time to meet the Elf Queen.

"Yukine, are you really ready? That place is fraught with danger, so don't be reckless."

Looking at the eager Lin Xueyin, Aria was still somewhat worried. This time, because she was going to meet the ten elders of the Elven race, she could not go with them. However, although the Emerald Dream was not as dangerous as the Azure Dream, it was still dangerous, wasn't it?

After witnessing the numerous crises in Azure Dreamland, it would be impossible for Aria not to worry. However, Lin Xueyin still looked carefree, as if she were going on a picnic.

"Xueyin, don't take this lightly. You have no idea how dangerous it is inside. What will I do if something really happens to you?"

The original intention was that he had promised Princess Irabel to protect her, and if something really happened to her, how could he explain it to the princess? Besides, she was also his good friend. He wouldn't be happy if something happened to his friend.

However, to Lin Xueyin, that meant another member of her harem. Overwhelmed with excitement, Lin Xueyin waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, I'll be fine. Don't forget, I'm a priest. If I can't beat them, I can still run away."

Is this supposed to be a consolation? Aria looked at her friend in front of her, a little confused, and didn't know how to respond. However, just because she didn't respond didn't mean others wouldn't. Luo Yu, who had just entered the room and heard the two talking, slowly walked in.

"Don't worry, Xueyin is a distinguished guest of our Elf Clan. We would never allow her to get hurt. The purpose of our trip to the Emerald Dream is simply to investigate the reason why we cannot communicate normally with the Tenth Elder. We have no other requests."

"And..." She glanced briefly at Lin Xueyin, who was blinking her beautiful eyes, and continued.

"Moreover, there are no magical beasts in the Emerald Dream, it's just a small energy field, there's no danger there."

She smiled at Lin Xueyin, but Lin Xueyin sensed a hint of danger in her eyes. However, she could also clearly feel that this danger was not directed at her, which made Lin Xueyin even more confused.

"Alright, Yukine, I'll take you to Mother's place first. Aria, please wait here for a few days. I think Yukine will be back soon."

Seeing Luo Yu preparing to leave with Xue Yin, Ailiya suddenly wanted to say something, but she had nothing to say. She simply said, "Have a safe journey," and then fell silent. She could only shake her head gently, turn around, and tidy up the bed again.

Incidentally, I picked up a long, golden hair from the bed. Hmm, could this be a hair that Yukine dropped?

Volume 4: Kerrochin Forest: Chapter 30: Emerald Dream

The Queen looked at the girl standing in front of her, her long golden hair casually tied into a long ponytail, revealing her pretty little face to everyone's eyes.

Beneath her slightly flushed face was a long, slender, and fair neck, resembling that of a swan. Her delicate and pitiful demeanor naturally drew everyone's attention to her. If it weren't for the High Priest's earlier mention of this girl's formidable fighting prowess...

Her pitiful and endearing aura alone is enough to make people instinctively see her as someone who needs protection, wishing they could keep her close by and protect her under their wings.

"Yukine, are you ready? The Emerald Dreamland may not be dangerous, but it has its own unique features. Remember to stay true to yourself. Only then can you safely return to reality."

The Elf Queen looked at the girl before her with some worry. Although the girl's very existence posed a threat to the elves, as a race that naturally loves peace, their inherent kindness prevented them from wishing anything bad to happen to the girl who had traveled so far to help them.

"Don't worry, I'm all prepared, there won't be any problems." Waving her slender arms, Lin Xueyin indicated that she was perfectly fine.

Caught off guard, Luo Yu gently tapped her on the head, causing her to cry out in pain. She turned her beautiful eyes to Luo Yu behind her with displeasure.

"Luo Yu, what are you doing? Why did you hit me?"

"Why would I keep you alive if I didn't beat you? Didn't you hear your mother say there was danger inside? How could you be so careless? Do you really think that just because it's a dream, you can do whatever you want?"

Seeing Lin Xueyin's still fearless expression, Luo Yu said with a look of utter disappointment, "Didn't you ever consider that this place is connected to the dream realm of the Goddess of Nature, Princess Kerluqin? How could it be so simple?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xueyin belatedly realized that since it was a dream connecting the mortal world and the goddess, it naturally had its unique features. If she went in with such expectations, it would be strange if she didn't suffer losses.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be careful."

Seeing Lin Xueyin's remorseful expression, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she knew, she shouldn't be in any danger given her abilities.
