By the time Shien finished putting on his clothes, Mi Lu had already arrived in front of him.
"Ai Yi, Ai Yi …"
The little girl with a huge amount of magic power stretched out her hand and grabbed Sean's clothes. She kept tugging at it as if she was urging him to do something, and also as if she was anxious about something. Her face was full of anxiety.
"This …"
Shien didn't know what the girl was trying to do and was at a loss.
"Alright, don't worry, Ai Yi won't run away."
On the other hand, Lide comforted Mi Lu with a lazy tone. Although Mi Lu was still anxious, she didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Shien had an idea.
"Don't tell me she wants to see Ai Yi?"
Shien looked at the little beast on Mi Lu's head and asked with a strange expression.
"What? Haven't you already guessed it?" Lide yawned and looked at Shien with a strange expression. Her pair of beastly eyes glinted with intelligence. She smiled and said, "This girl likes Ai Yi the most. As long as she sees Ai Yi, she will keep pestering her until Ai Yi is annoyed. If it wasn't for you mentioning Ai Yi's name when we passed by, we might not have noticed your existence."
In other words, if it wasn't for the mention of Ai Yi, Shien might have been ignored by them.
To this man and beast, Shien's value seemed to be the fact that he knew Ai Yi. Other than that, there was nothing else that caught their attention.
… Hmm, I feel like I want to eat roasted beast legs.
"You want to see Ai Yi, right?" Shien put on a fake smile and said, "Alright, I'll bring you to see her."
When the time comes, I'll teach you a lesson.
However, just as Shien was thinking about this, Lide said something.
"Before that, help us do something."
Lide actually said such a thing.
"Do something?"
Shien frowned.
"That's right." Lide pointed outside the boundary and said, "It's in that direction. Let's go."
After saying that, without waiting for Shien to respond, Lide stroked Mi Lu's hair.
"Let's go, Mi Lu. We need to finish this quickly so that we can see Ai Yi."
Lide's words made the aggrieved Mi Lu's pretty face change.
"See Ai Yi! See Ai Yi! "
The little girl's face broke into a wide grin, and she immediately moved her little legs, heading outside.
Surprisingly, the Elven Homeland's barrier didn't seem to have any effect on this little girl.
The little girl with the mysterious little beast on her head seemed to have passed through a ripple of water. She silently passed through to the outside and was not affected by the barrier at all.
"What the hell … …"
Sean was dumbfounded by what he saw.
The barrier that the elves were so proud of, and it was likely that the Goddess of Nature herself had personally set it up, was completely ignored by the other party. This was truly astonishing.
Shien would not be surprised if the boundary that the Elven Hometown took pride in and was set up by the Goddess of Nature.
But she did not break the boundary. Instead, she ignored it. It was as if nothing in the world could stop her and she was not affected by the boundary at all.
She did not break the boundary. Instead, she ignored it. It was as if nothing in the world could stop her and she was not affected by the boundary at all.
She had some tricks up her sleeve.
Originally, Shien did not plan to follow her.
After all, if she told him to do something, then what would he be?
But now, Shien began to have some interest in the girl and the beast.
What did such an incredible combination want to do here?
"Let's go take a look."
Shien could not suppress his curiosity.
So, Shien followed.
Lide seemed to know that Sean would follow them and said to Mi Lu leisurely.
"Bring him out of the boundary, Mi Lu."
Hearing this, Mi Lu did not resist at all. She passed through the boundary and grabbed Shien's hand, pulling him out. She did it so easily that it seemed like she was taking a stroll.
"Ai Yi! Ai Yi! "
Holding Shien's hand, Mi Lu kept calling out this name. In the end, she simply dragged Shien and impatiently walked forward.
"Where are we going?"
Shien could not help but ask.
But …
"You'll know when we get there."
Sean narrowed his eyes at Lide's leisurely demeanor.
This little thing really needs to be taught a lesson.
I've decided to find a chance to screw it over.
It's been a long time since I've had fun. I wonder if my skills have regressed.
… …
On the other side, Caroline was still waiting a distance away from the hot spring, bored out of her mind.
"Why isn't he done yet?" Caroline complained. "He's a man, but he takes longer than a woman."
Caroline was starting to get impatient from waiting.
If it weren't for the fact that she was afraid of being caught red-handed and accused of embezzlement, she would have gone in while he was bathing. She had clearly said that no one would go in, but now she was barging in while he was bathing. She had completely disobeyed their previous agreement.
"I'm the vice-captain of the elven corps, a great mage of rank 89. Why am I acting as a lookout for a male of another race? I'm crazy."
Caroline began to mutter to herself, either in self-deprecation or helplessness.
"Hm?"
It was at this moment that Caroline noticed the abnormality and looked up in astonishment.
In front of her, beneath the beautiful night sky, an evil aura and the shadow of a dragon were rushing over at astonishing speed.
"That's …?"
Caroline's entire body tensed up.
She could sense a suffocating threat from the evil aura and the shadow of the dragon.
In the next second, the evil aura and the dragon shadow arrived. They lingered in the air for a while, but they didn't leave. It was as if they were looking for something and kept circling around.
Before long, the evil aura and the dragon descended.
Their target was her.
"What?"
Caroline's expression changed.
But before she could react, the demonic aura and the shadow of the dragon landed in front of her, revealing its figure.
It was Lilith and Ai Yi.
"Your … Your Majesty the Demonic Dragon …!? And Goddess Lilith …!? "
Caroline held her breath.
But Ai Yi and Lilith clearly weren't in the mood to chat with Caroline.
"Where's Shien?"
Ai Yi asked straightforwardly.
"Shien … Shien?" Caroline was startled at first, but she quickly reacted and said, "It's … it's Borztute. He's bathing inside."
"Inside?" Ai Yi looked deeply at Caroline, making her hair stand on end. Only then did she say indifferently, "He's already left the elven homeland and is outside the barrier."
"Wh … what?!" Caroline's eyes widened in astonishment. She said hurriedly, "That's impossible, the boundary of the home of the elves is still in effect. Since it's still in effect, only we elves can open the entrance to the boundary and enter freely. No one else can enter or leave as they please!"
This was a barrier set up by the Goddess of Nature. It used the power and environment of nature. If one didn't know the way to enter and exit, even an Extreme Level expert wouldn't be able to enter and exit freely. Even a Transcendent Level expert could only rely on their strength to break it.
Under such circumstances, the barrier was still active. Logically speaking, unless someone from the elven race was leading the way, Shien should still be within the barrier.
Now, Ai Yi said that Shien had already left the barrier. It was no wonder that Caroline was shocked.
But this was the truth.
"It's because he left the enchantment that the magic power I placed on him was isolated. Even the connection between Lilith and her [True Seal] was blurred, so we couldn't find his location." Ai Yi was very calm. She muttered as if she was talking to herself, "However, if it's them, they can indeed easily enter and exit the barrier here. Moreover, they've isolated our senses, making it impossible for us to locate Shien."
Ai Yi seemed to have guessed the reason behind this.
On the side, the evil aura on Lilith's body was constantly fluctuating, telling others that her emotions were very unstable. This caused Caroline to tremble with fear.
Caroline was a little worried that Lilith would cause a ruckus in the elven homeland.
If that happened, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, a savior soon appeared.
"Your Highness Ai Yi, Lady Lilith."
Along with such a call, an emerald green radiance descended from the sky, turning into the graceful figure of the Elf Queen.
"Sophie?" Ai Yi wasn't surprised by Sophie's arrival at all. She asked directly, "You felt it too, right?"
"Yes." Sophie sighed, then nodded gravely. "Such magical power, is it really those two?"
"It can only be them," Ai Yi said unhappily. Ai Yi was very dissatisfied: "Apart from them, who else would wander around in this ancient forest full of monsters?"
"Then …" Sophie said worriedly, "Since those two have appeared here, does it mean that something has happened to Tagore's Forest?"
"Who knows?" Ai Yi said coldly. "I just want to know what they're planning to do by abducting my man."
"Is it Borztute?" Sophie said hesitantly, "Isn't it because of Her Highness Ai Yi that he was taken away?"
Ai Yi immediately glared at Sophie, causing Sophie to laugh awkwardly.
She knew that she had revealed the truth, causing Ai Yi, who had intended to play dumb, to be unable to continue pretending.
"Do you want me to send someone to look for him?"
Sophie could only suggest this.
"… Forget it." Ai Yi's face was still full of dissatisfaction, but after thinking for a while, she said, "If it was in the past, I would be a little worried that Shien would be toyed with by those two. Now, that guy's strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and he should be able to handle those two by himself … As long as those two don't go too far."
At the end of her words, Ai Yi finally showed a look of a headache.
Lilith immediately pulled on Ai Yi's clothes, as if objecting to Ai Yi's actions.
"Don't worry." Ai Yi comforted Lilith. "He is still very safe. Otherwise, no matter how strong the separation is, you will be able to sense his location through the [True Seal]."
Once the host of the [True Seal] encountered danger, the owner of the [True Seal] would immediately sense it, and through the connection of the [True Seal], they would instantly arrive at the host's location.
Since Lilith could not sense Shien, it proved that Shien was not in danger.
Thinking of this, Lilith calmed down.
Only Ai Yi was left looking at the depths of the forest in front of her with a fierce glint in her eyes.
"If you don't bring him back in one piece, Milu, Lide, you will be in for it."
Ai Yi muttered.
The night continued.
