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

She nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. She'd been here for half a day, and this guy was only now finding out she was human? She angrily tried to break free from the weeds' hold, but the more she struggled, the tighter they bound her, terrifying Lin Xueyin so much she dared not move again.

“That’s right, little girl. We are elves, we won’t do anything to you. I just want to ask you a few questions.”

"Is this the attitude for asking a question?" Her almond-shaped eyes widened in anger, and her pearly white teeth made a gurgling sound.

After a few minutes of silence, the same voice came from the Dream Stone, "This place is too important to us elves, so please understand. If we find any mistakes, we will apologize and give you a branch of the Tree of Life as compensation."

Blinking, Lin Xueyin considered it in her mind. A branch of the Tree of Life! This staff made from it could more than double her combat power. It was just a question, so she decided to accept it.

"You said we've lost contact with Queen Kirstiel? What's going on? You know, we've always been in contact with her. Just now, we were discussing some things."

"Um, well, I don't know what you two discussed, but did you know that the elves and humans formed an alliance to resist the orcish invasion?"

Although she understood that she would benefit from this later, Lin Xueyin still found it difficult to continue to respect the ten elders in front of her, even if it was just a formality.

They knew this too, and they didn't take Lin Xueyin's mocking tone to heart. Instead, they were quite shocked by what she said. That's right, they didn't know about this.

If the Elf Queen were to form an alliance with the human race, she would at least need to communicate with the ten elders, but they knew nothing about it.

"Alright, judging from your expressions, you don't know. Well then, I entered the Azure Dreamland before, and it was corrupted by some unknown evil energy, which disturbed the Jade Dragon Mother in her slumber, almost causing the Azure Dreamland to be destroyed. Do you know about this?"

The silence of the Dream Stone made Lin Xueyin look at them mockingly, and then she continued, "The situation of the Elven race is very complicated right now, and we need to discuss it with you. However, Her Majesty the Queen realized a long time ago that she could not communicate with you, and had no choice but to ask me to come here in the hope of finding you. I never expected to be humiliated like this by you."

Volume 4: Kerluqin Forest: Chapter 33 Rewards and Compensation

The ten elven elders, who had long been detached from society and rarely interacted with others, were at a loss for words and even felt ashamed.

“Little girl, as we said, we will give you some compensation. Moreover, I think the branch of the Tree of Life will be very useful to you.”

"Hmph, how can human dignity be bought with mere material possessions?"

On the surface, he looked disdainful, but in his heart he was thinking, if he couldn't even squeeze out a little more, how could he do justice to the naivety and gullibility of these elders?

After thinking about it for a moment, it seems to make sense. Since people have already hurt each other, it would be somewhat inappropriate to try to forgive and forget with a little favor. Besides, I had already said that I would reward her.

"Little girl, here you go. It's the Dew of Nature, which the Goddess of Nature bestows upon us every year. It not only increases one's cultivation level, but also allows one to maintain a youthful and beautiful appearance and a long lifespan, just like the elves. I think this should be enough."

Looking at the vibrant green droplet of water spinning in her palm, Lin Xueyin suddenly felt a surge of joy within her body, as if she were very fond of this drop of natural dew.

However, "one drop is not enough."

Of course it's not enough. Nana doesn't have it yet, the princess doesn't have it yet, and neither does Aria. It's not good to keep such a good thing to yourself.

"One drop isn't enough, little girl. Don't be too greedy. Even we don't have much of this stuff."

The ten elders were extremely dissatisfied with the young girl's greed, and their tone was cold and low.

"Not enough, of course not enough. I risked my life to get in here, I deserve credit, I passed the test, so I should be rewarded. Don't you think all of that counts? So what if I want more? This isn't enough. I haven't even said anything about how you repay kindness with enmity."

As they spoke, their eyes glanced a few times at the clumps of grass binding them that they had forgotten to remove, which finally made the ten elders reluctantly remove the grass. They could only helplessly squeeze out a few drops of natural moisture from the tree trunks once again.

"These natural dews must be preserved well. After leaving the dream world, you must... Where did you hide them?"

Seeing Lin Xueyin casually manipulate the Dew of Nature in the air, disappearing without their notice, sent a chill down their spines. They felt a growing sense of apprehension towards this young human girl.

The saying "those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts" is not only true for humans, but also for elves. In addition, I had given her a few drops of Dew of Nature, and I thought that she would need to consume it as soon as she left, even if she didn't give it to the elves, I would use it myself.

However, it seems that this girl has a way to store these natural dews that I cannot discover, which is tantamount to aiding the enemy.

"Don't worry, the people I sent are all kind-hearted. They won't do anything to the elves. Besides, we humans are now allies with the elves. Isn't the strength of our allies a form of strength for ourselves?"

"Little girl, you're so good at talking. Forget it, since we've already given it to you, there's no need to dwell on these things. But whatever you do, don't let us know that your human race has broken the contract and attacked us, otherwise, we will make you pay the price."

This clearly threatening remark didn't make Lin Xueyin feel insulted like before. Of course, her attention was now completely focused on her spatial backpack.

"Nature's Dew is a legendary substance that can enhance one's affinity with nature. It is said to grant the user the lifespan of an elf and eternal youth."

It really is true. But why do these things make one's sacred energy surge so intensely, as if they are very welcoming of its arrival?

Lin Xueyin found it a little strange, but she didn't think too much about it. She had almost maxed out her Holy Priest skills and still had some money left, which improved her life somewhat.

Upon returning this time, the king will likely reward me handsomely, allowing me to stay in the capital. Although I won't be very free, I'll have enough connections to search for Nana.

Searching on one's own in such a vast continent is somewhat beyond one's capabilities; it would be best to have one's own power and connections.

However, I wonder if we can try to contact the orcs. If Nana has gone to the orc alliance, that would be a real problem.

Meanwhile, the ten elders were not idle either. They were carefully searching along the veins formed by the roots of the giant tree in the dream, checking all the dream nodes one by one.

Still not finding any problems, at this moment, Lin Xueyin suddenly felt a terrifying energy descend from the sky, and the originally peaceful dream space was instantly transformed into a dead zone.

The grassland, which had just been vibrant with life, was now barren and withered, and the towering tree was also bare of leaves in the west wind, making her feel a sense of desolation like autumn, a far cry from its previous vitality.

"This is, this is..."

"It's a nightmare. I never expected a nightmare to enter our dream. How did a demon get here?"

Enraged, the ten elders were unable to find a solution. With the enemy in the open and themselves in the dark, they had no idea of ​​the enemy's location and could only passively choose to resist.

“Little girl, hurry up and leave. This dream might cause a big problem. Be sure to tell the Elf Queen that the demons have attacked us. Tell her to be careful.”

"I never imagined that the demons would disregard their civil war and choose to attack us. Aren't the Nightmare Clan afraid of being crushed and destroyed by other forces?"

Lin Xueyin was somewhat bewildered. How long had it been since they had had effective communication with the Elf Queen? Didn't they know that the Demon Race had now unified?

"Elder, now..."

"Haha, you old codgers, how could you lowly races like you understand the ways of the demon race? Hand over the blessing of the Goddess of Nature obediently, and I might give you a quick death."

He had just finished speaking when he turned a strange look to Lin Xueyin. "I didn't expect to actually find you here. Now that you're here, there's no need to go back."

Before she could finish speaking, she raised her arm slightly, and a black aura instantly spread towards Lin Xueyin, engulfing her in darkness.

Oops, I accidentally broke off here! Author didn't mean to, definitely not to tease you, hehehehehe. Ahem, let's hide this. Things have been a bit erratic lately, how am I going to fix this?

Volume 4: Kerrochin Forest: Chapter 34 Nightmare

As darkness engulfed her, Lin Xueyin sensed the impending danger. With a flick of her wrist, a bottle of potion radiating holy light appeared in her palm.

Just as she was about to open it and drink it, a pure black energy cloud completely engulfed her, without her even making a sound.

The ten elders simply stood by and watched as things unfolded, as if everything was within their expectations, or even within their plans.

With a tiger at your side, how can you not feel apprehensive? But if a pack of wolves comes, wouldn't it be a win-win situation to drive away the wolves and tiger?

After darkness completely engulfed the girl, the ten elders finally took a second look at this uninvited demon, whose black energy continuously surged against the giant tree they were on.

"What, you really think you can defeat me?"

The mocking voice was full of disregard and contempt for the elders, and his dark brown eyes were filled with an air of absolute confidence.

In the darkness, the girl seemed to have returned to Earth, but she was still a girl. This made her realize instantly that this was definitely another dream, but the previous one was a beautiful dream, and this one was a nightmare.

Why do I say this? Because even after returning to Earth, I'm still in this female body—what else could it be but a nightmare? The worst part is, I still have a boyfriend who's a complete jerk.

Lin Xueyin really wanted to talk about this nightmare guy. Bro, do you really think girls have to find men? Do you think we're all idiots?

Unable to vent her frustration, Lin Xueyin simply kicked her scumbag boyfriend aside and left on her own.

This kind of annulment story, this kind of scumbag male and female story, doesn't fit the style of this novel. It's better to get rid of the evil spirits quickly, Lin Xueyin thought to herself, and of course her hands wouldn't be idle.

He carefully searched his spatial inventory, looking for anything that could help him escape this dream, especially when he saw his former classmates looking at him like he was a beautiful woman; his head felt like it was going to explode.

His eyes swept over the many potions, but he couldn't find a suitable one to get him out of his predicament. However, he saw this drop of natural dew.

As if possessed, he took out a drop and put it in his mouth. Soon, the enormous life energy inside spread throughout his body, bringing with it the opposition and unity between the sacred and the natural.

At this moment, Lin Xueyin suddenly discovered that many more grayed-out skills had appeared in her skill list, which surprised her greatly. Yes, she was very surprised.

I was already very familiar with these grayed-out skills before, back when I didn't have the money to invest in Holy skills. I never expected that these skills would reappear now, just when I had almost maxed out my Holy Priest skills.

Moreover, this was brought to her by the natural dew, which was somewhat unexpected for Lin Xueyin, yet also brought her a feeling of pleasant surprise.

“Mind Blast, Mind Scream, and Divine Spirit—these are all related to the spirit, but I don’t think they belong to the Discipline school.”

Lin Xueyin was a little confused, especially when she saw the annotation below—Discipline System. It made her even more puzzled, but now was not the time to think about these things. Lin Xueyin quickly maxed out all the skills. Although she didn't have much money, it was more than enough to max out a few skills.

Without a suitable staff, Lin Xueyin could only take out the unprocessed branch of the Tree of Life from before. As soon as she held this raw, unprocessed branch in her hand, Lin Xueyin felt her energy increase slightly again.

This was surprising. At his current level of mana, it was very difficult to simply increase it even slightly. Unexpectedly, he was able to clearly perceive an increase in energy.

Although she didn't know if she could succeed, Lin Xueyin still picked up the branch of the Tree of Life in her hand and slammed it heavily to the ground, amidst the stares of those around her who seemed to be looking at her like she was mentally ill.

The mental shockwave instantly brought him back to reality.

Just as Lin Xueyin was immersed in the dream, Nightmare was also facing off against the ten elders of the elves. If it were really a contest of strength, he might not be a match for these ten elders. Unfortunately, this time they were not competing in strength. In this dream, he was the greatest ruler.

"Haha, if you don't cooperate, then I'll have no choice but to send you into an endless dream, just like this little girl, and let you exhaust all your energy and die there."

"Hmph, you bastard, do you really think we're like that human girl, someone you can slaughter at will?"

The ten elders of the Elven race also mocked this nightmare's boast. "This is our sacred land, a place where we can communicate with the Goddess of Nature. Who gave you the audacity to commit such a heinous act here?"

"Haha, the Goddess of Nature? I've been here for so long, have you seen her yet? There's already an insurmountable chasm between gods and mortals. Even if there's a loophole to exploit, you still have to see if the other gods agree. You've been communicating with the Goddess of Nature for so long, it's time to end this."

Nightmare burst into laughter when he saw that the ten elders were still thinking about the Goddess of Nature. The Goddess of Nature was too busy taking care of herself to have time to spend with them.

"By the way, let me tell you something else. The gods have long been at war, and because of their war, they have closed all channels of communication with the mortal world."

The unbelievable information caused the ten elders to cry out in shock. However, having already entered the Dream Stone, they were powerless to change the situation and felt completely overwhelmed.

"Hmph, you think you can just say whatever you want?"

"Of course, it's not up to me to say everything, but your recent communication with the goddess of nature..."

As Nightmare spoke, several mysterious and unpredictable voices appeared, silencing all the elders.

"So this is your previous communication with the Goddess of Nature? You never thought that the one you were actually communicating with would be my nightmare, the demon race's nightmare, hehehe."

The eerie laughter sent a chill down the spines of the ten elders, and an ominous premonition lingered in their hearts.

As soon as he raised his hand, dark energy rushed towards him again. This time, it wasn't just about devouring a small human girl like before; it was an overwhelming force poised to completely engulf the entire giant tree.

"I originally planned to use this dream to disrupt the internal affairs of the Elf race, but the appearance of a little girl has ruined all my plans. But it doesn't matter, since I've swallowed her into the endless nightmare anyway."

Volume 4: Kerluqin Forest: Chapter 35: Sneak Attack

"Ahem, well, if you really want me to die, you might need to put in a little more effort."

As soon as she came out, she heard the nightmare arrogantly say that he was doomed, which made Lin Xueyin helplessly touch her nose, and then interrupt the other party's arrogant laughter.

"Actually, I'm really sorry I wasn't in your dream."
