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

Looking at her daughter, whose face was full of anxiety, the Queen could only manage a weak smile before saying, "We have already established stable communication with the elders."

If Lin Xueyin had appeared, these words might have put Luo Yu at ease. However, with Lin Xueyin still not showing up, he had no interest in caring about the elders' affairs.

He let out a long sigh. "Xueyin was caught in the self-protective mechanism of the dream world while fighting against the demons. Now, she might... she might already be..."

"No, impossible, absolutely impossible. Yukine can revive others, how could she die? How could she die?"

She couldn't believe what she was hearing, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She had promised her that she would take good care of her friends, but she never came back.

"She promised me she would come back safely. She promised that nothing would happen to her."

"You little brat, I hadn't even finished speaking when you stopped me. How am I supposed to say anything now?"

Uh, staring blankly at the somewhat angry queen, Luo Yu was a little confused. Wasn't she already sucked into the dream? How come she was still alright?

"You, don't you think about that little girl's own abilities? How could anything happen to her? It's just that she might not be in our Kerluqin Forest anymore."

"Is this true? Is it really true?"

The Queen watched her daughter's happy face quietly, but her expression remained unchanged, her slightly furrowed brows making her look preoccupied.

"Mother, I'll tell the human envoys this good news first, and then we'll search for Xueyin properly later."

"Yes, you should go quickly. Your mother still has some things to do."

As she watched her daughter leave, several mysterious elven rangers suddenly appeared behind the elven queen, kneeling on one knee behind her, awaiting her orders.

"You guys should know what kind of being you're facing, right?"

"clear."

"Okay, that's good. Remember, your task is simple: find her, find a way to tell the demons where she is, and then let the demons handle it."

In an instant, the gentleness he had shown when facing his daughter turned into a cold and murderous aura, his icy tone filled with intense killing intent.

Upon receiving the order, the mysterious elven rangers departed as silently as they had arrived.

He tossed the pale blue sheet of paper containing his plan to appoint Lin Xueyin as an unofficial retainer of the Elven race into the nearby altar, his eyes filled with indifference.

Don't blame me, little girl. If you could get lost in the emerald dream as I imagined, or if you could agree to join our elven race, then I wouldn't have made this move. It's a pity, a real pity.

Thinking back to what the Tenth Elder had told her about what happened in her dream, the Elf Queen reaffirmed her resolve. As for Luo Yu, as an elf, time was never an obstacle, so one day she would naturally forget this being who was less than an ant in her life.

Of course, there are still some things to do. At the very least, I need to properly commend this girl's achievements inside, and let the humans, demons, beastmen, and even dwarves and winged races all know about them.

As long as some of these races harbor fear of her, then naturally someone will come to help her accomplish what she needs to do.

"Goodbye, little girl, may you be safe. And may our elven race return to the pinnacle of the continent once more."

Volume 5: The Winged Race and the Dwarves: Chapter Thirteen: Arya's Worries and the Demon King's Revenge

Inside the elven embassy, ​​Luo Yu told everything she knew to the girl who had been waiting for Lin Xueyin, and saw her outward calmness and her trembling body.

"Luoyu, thank you. I'll leave now and head to find Xueyin."

"Ailiya, you don't even know where Yukine was teleported to? How are you going to look for her? Why don't you wait here for our news? Maybe, just maybe, Yukine is still in the forest?"

"That's unlikely. I think Yukine might have already left."

Arya spoke her mind in a serious and resolute manner, her mind made up. Yukine's disappearance had amplified her unease, making her feel as if she would never see her again.

"They've already left? How are you sure? Our elven search teams haven't given us any feedback at all. How did you confirm that?"

Hearing Aria's confident assertion, Luo Yu began to suspect that the human race had far more informants than the elves themselves. This behavior, which crossed the elves' bottom line, filled her with both anticipation and apprehension.

What they hoped for was to know the specifics of Yukine's situation, and what they were naturally alarmed about was the enormous threat that the elves were currently facing from the humans.

"It's intuition, of course."

Hmmmm, this serious demeanor suddenly made Luo Yu want to hit someone. Forcing herself to refrain from rolling her eyes at her, Luo Yu could only say in a self-deprecating tone.

"Aren't you afraid of causing problems by relying solely on your intuition?"

“I promised Princess Irabell that I would find Yukine and bring her back. Now that this has happened, I can’t just sit here waiting.”

"Is it just because you promised the princess?"

Seeing that Aria was clearly stunned, Luo Yu did not continue to ask questions.

"Go find Yukine quickly, and remember to let me know when you find her."

He pulled out a white messenger bird from who-knows-where and handed it to Aria, then continued, "This messenger bird is a gift from me to Yukine, to tell her that no matter where she is, she must never lose contact with me."

"Well, I see."

Arya carefully put away the white messenger bird and prepared her luggage for departure, while Luo Yu also left somewhat absentmindedly.

I initially thought I should eliminate this eyesore, but now I actually hope she can see Yukine safely. Life is so full of ups and downs, isn't it?

In the long course of life, the most beautiful thing is to be able to know and stay with someone you love. Even if this beauty is only fleeting, it will still give you the most beautiful memories.

Meanwhile, Arya was also caught in a state of confusion. Was she really only acting because of the princess's request? Gradually, her confusion turned into determination. She had told her before that she would protect her safety, so she would do the same this time.

As a knight, I am Yukine's knight, a knight who will always protect her, a knight who will never betray her and will always stay by her side.

Gripping the longsword at his waist tightly, donning his armor, and slinging his packed backpack over his shoulder, he resolutely pushed open the door and walked outside. "Wait for me, I will find you."

The Demon King's situation was far from harmonious. From the dark dungeon came screams of agony as he slowly descended the winding stairs into the cold, damp dungeon.

In the dim firelight, the surroundings were illuminated, revealing a landscape filled with instruments of torture, each stained with blood, testifying to the carnage and brutality that had taken place there. It also bore witness to countless cries of agony and agony.

The cold, sweeping gaze around made the manager leading the way feel immense pressure, breaking out in a cold sweat. The one who had been brought over earlier was the chieftain of the Nightmare Clan. Although the Nightmare Clan itself had a large population, he was still a high-ranking and powerful chieftain.

However, this person didn't even blink an eye and threw himself in without giving a reason. He even specifically requested that he experience all the tortures here, but he couldn't die.

Of course, there was also a Shadow Clan assassin. The Shadow Clan itself didn't have many people, and now he was also imprisoned. This made the prison warden realize the Demon King's unpredictable temper.

"Why is that person's scream not very loud? It seems like you weren't putting in any effort?"

"No, Your Majesty, how could we not exert ourselves? It's just that after these past few days, he's exhausted. Let alone calling out, he probably won't even be able to speak."

Hearing the prison administrator's answer, the Demon King was slightly satisfied. This was the result she wanted. After learning that Lin Xueyin was still alive, she waited two more days before coming over.

It was all to make these two people suffer more, as a form of interest on the fear and anxiety I had created for myself.

"Your Majesty, shall we go there now?"

"lead the way."

In the dim firelight, shadowy figures moved about, accompanied by low, mournful screams emanating from within, yet a faint smile appeared on the demon king's face.

Upon opening the cell door, the man inside, once so glamorous, beamed with amusement.

"How is it, my great patriarch? Doesn't it feel great and comfortable?"

"You... what did I do to deserve this?" Spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, Morogal still couldn't believe that he, the dignified chieftain of the Nightmare Clan, had been beaten to this state because of a single defeat. It was utterly ridiculous.

"You said you did something wrong? Well, to put it simply, you didn't do anything wrong. But I just don't like you. Is that a valid reason?"

How dare you lay your hands on Xueyin? We've already spared your entire family because Xueyin is alright. If anything had happened to her, would your Nightmare Clan still have any reason to exist?

Of course, I can't say that yet. After all, I've just ascended to the position of Demon King, and I haven't dealt with many of the previous Demon King's loyalists. If they knew about Yukine's existence, although I'm confident I can protect her, there's no such thing as being able to guard against a thief for a thousand days. Even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw. So, for now, I'll let her play outside.

Of course, some things are fun, and some things... He stomped on a crawling cockroach, then a strange glint flashed in his cold eyes.

"Your Majesty, as I have already stated, that woman is our nemesis and the greatest obstacle to our demon race's unification of the continent. Moreover, during our battle, she showed you great disrespect, even saying..."

As Morogal embellished Lin Xueyin's words, the demon king's expression grew increasingly somber.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more."

Seeing the Demon King's face ashen, Morogal sneered inwardly. Since he was going to die anyway, he would drag that annoying little girl down to hell with him. She had ruined his plans and caused him to end up like this, so he absolutely could not let her live a good life.

Now that the Demon King knows of her existence and has made such outrageous and arrogant remarks, he probably won't let her live peacefully in this world.

Lin Xueyin, I will be waiting for you in hell.

Volume 5: The Winged Race and the Dwarves: Chapter 14 The Shock of the Humans and the Crisis of the Dwarves (Two chapters published together)

Inside the Tianlu Academy of the Human Race, two little girls were tidying up Lin Xueyin's alchemy room. Some nobles had come over earlier and started gossiping about them. Why didn't they come over when Sister Xueyin was around?

Angrily wiping the table clean, Kaliel took out the bottle of Holy Protection Potion that Lin Xueyin had given her before leaving. Perhaps thinking of something, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Sister, are you thinking about Xueyin again?"

Seeing her sister's state, Kashar realized that she was thinking about the girl whose feelings had been gone for a long time.

"You silly girl, don't you miss it? I wonder who it is that keeps calling out 'Sister Xueyin' in their sleep at night."

"Hey, sister, how could you eavesdrop on other people's sleep talking? Forget it right now, forget it!"

Enraged or humiliated, the little girl stood up and pounced on the older sister who was still holding the Holy Protection Potion.

Just as the two little girls were having a great time playing around, the door to the alchemy lab was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and Irabell rushed into the lab anxiously.

Seeing the two little girls inside, before they could say anything, he quickly grabbed their hands and led them outside.

"Princess Irabel, what is this...?"

"Don't talk, come with me. That girl Xueyin is going to cause trouble again. The palace is discussing how to deal with her opinions right now."

Startled by those words, the two little girls' eyes flashed with a cold killing intent, but it vanished without a trace, and even Irabel, who was holding their hands, didn't notice it at all.

"What's wrong, Xueyin-neechan? Did something happen?"

"That girl directly helped the Elf race solve two major issues in their dreams, and even beat the Nightmare Clan Chief of the Demon Race to a pulp. Now, her status is going to rise even higher."

"Your Highness, please forgive my bluntness, but isn't this a good thing? Why do you say it like this..."

"A good thing? You think this is a good thing? The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. Xueyin is now that tree that is about to break through the sky. What do you think the demons will do after they find out about this?"

One guess was enough to send chills down the spines of the three. That's right, since she had become an obstacle, they had to eliminate her by any means necessary before she could truly grow up.

"Then we..."

"You are Yukine's assistants. Do you think those assassins would let such a good opening slip by if you were to become her assistants?"

After a moment of silence, the Kalier sisters realized that everything the other said was true. However, they had now become a burden to Lin Xueyin. This answer, which was so different from reality, filled the two little girls with an indescribable feeling.

"Come with me, I'll take you to my place, and I'll use all my abilities to protect you." If something happens to you, how will I have the face to face Xueyin when she comes back?

Silently reciting this to himself, he led them towards his palace. Meanwhile, inside the imperial palace of the capital, the current emperor of the human empire—Allens Edward—sat upright on his throne. His lowered eyes revealed nothing of his thoughts.

“Your Majesty, as a baron of our empire, I believe it is necessary for us to bring Lin Xueyin back. As for the Elven claim that she is missing, that is simply a joke, and I find it hard to believe.”
