The Forest of Tagore, the home of the elves.
When Shien came back from the outside and returned to the hot-spring mana source, Mi Lu and Lide were still beside him.
"Ai Yi! Ai Yi! "
Mi Lu was still hugging Shien's thigh and kept shaking it. It was obvious what she wanted to do.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll bring you to see Ai Yi now, okay?" Shien sighed and said, "I wanted to take another bath and wash myself clean."
Because he was disturbed by Mi Lu and Lide, Shien did not have much time to take a bath, so he was naturally a little dissatisfied.
"Bath?"
Mi Lu tilted her head and glanced at Shien, then at the hot spring. She seemed to be thinking about something.
Seeing this scene, Shien was startled at first, and then his heart moved.
(This situation, don't tell me that we're going to take a bath together?)
Shien's dissatisfied expression suddenly changed, and he was full of anticipation.
Under such circumstances, Mi Lu let go of Shien's thigh and ran towards the hot spring step by step.
This made Shien a little excited.
However, the reality was cruel.
"Hey!"
Mi Lu put her hands into the hot spring and splashed the water with all her might. She then let out an adorable cry.
"Boom!"
A huge stream of water was suddenly splashed from the hot spring by Mi Lu, and like a downpour, it instantly poured towards Shien.
"Eh?"
Shien let out a silly sound, and then along with the excitement in his heart, he was drenched by the downpour of water.
When the water subsided, Sean, who was standing there, had become a drenched chicken. He seemed to be in a daze, and could not react for a long time.
"Bath! Done! " Mi Lu ran back, hugged Shien's thigh again, and said with a smile, "Ai Yi! Ai Yi! "
This little girl did not want to take a bath with Shien, but to quickly see Ai Yi and help Shien take a bath.
In the simplest and most violent way.
"I …"
Shien was having a mental breakdown.
Damn, this bath is better than not taking a bath.
"Pfft! Hahahaha! "
Lide, who was lying on Mi Lu's head, could not help but laugh.
That unbridled laughter infuriated Sean. He grabbed the furry little beast and ravaged it with all his might.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? On purpose, right? "
Shien was furious as he rubbed Lide around.
"Hey! Stop! Don't do this to me! "
Lide didn't expect Sean to attack her, or rather, she didn't expect that someone would dare to treat her like this. She was shocked, and then struggled, her voice full of anger.
However, Sean did not care. After venting his frustrations, he felt a little better.
"Let's go, I'll bring you to see Ai Yi."
After tossing Reid back onto Mi Lu's head, Sean wiped the water off his face and led the way in front with a lifeless look on his face.
"Ai Yi!" Mi Lu, who had been stunned by Shien's ravaging of Lide, immediately threw everything to the back of her mind and happily followed.
Mi Lu, who was initially stunned by Sean's actions, immediately threw everything to the back of her mind and happily followed behind.
"This brat, how dare he treat me like this …"
Lide, on the other hand, was lying on Mi Lu's head, tidying up his messy fur while gritting his teeth and muttering.
Lide lay on Mi Lu's head, muttering through clenched teeth as she tidied up her messy fur.
After leaving the area where the hot spring was, Sean saw it.
He saw Caroline pacing back and forth in front of him, looking rather vexed and anxious.
"You're back …!?"
Caroline seemed to have sensed some movement. She turned her head and looked in this direction. After seeing Sean, she immediately rushed over excitedly.
"Why are you so excited?"
Sean didn't expect the inflexible elf maiden to be so worried about him, and was a little surprised for a moment.
Who would've thought that the agitated Caroline would raise the staff in her hand and knock it on Sean's head without a word?
Bang!
With a crisp sound, Shien caught Caroline's staff and stopped it above his head.
"I knew it."
Shien looked as if he had expected this.
"Let go!" Caroline abruptly retracted her staff and glared at Sean. She said hatefully, "Didn't I tell you not to do anything suspicious?"
It was obvious that Shien's disappearance had left Caroline in a terrible mood.
"Suspicious?" Sean blinked and said innocently, "I'm just taking a walk around. Is this considered doing something suspicious?"
"You …!" Caroline was furious. "Did you know that Her Highness Ai Yi and Lilith almost caused a huge ruckus in the elven homeland because of your disappearance?"
This … Shien really didn't know.
However, he could imagine the situation.
"Looks like I made them anxious." Shien scratched his head and laughed wryly. "Great, I'll definitely be scolded when I get back."
These words didn't elicit a response from Caroline. Instead, it attracted Reid's attention.
"From what you've said, that girl cares a lot about you." Reid sighed with mixed feelings. "She's so nervous after leaving for such a short time. It's hard to imagine that Ai Yi would do something like this."
"Yes, yes!" Mi Lu nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"You are …?" Only then did Caroline notice Reid and Mi Lu's presence. Seeing the human and beast duo, the anger in her heart was replaced by doubt.
Shien ignored her.
"Let's go back first."
Shien called out to Mi Lu and Reid, intending to take them back to the treehouse.
However, Reid spoke up at this moment.
"Take Mi Lu there," Reid said to Shien. "I'm going to see the elven queen."
The one who reacted to these words was none other than Caroline.
"See the queen?" Caroline wasn't shocked by Lide's ability to speak. Instead, she became vigilant and said to Lide, "Who are you? Why do you want to see the queen? "
Caroline stared warily at Lide.
"Don't worry, little elven girl." Reid wasn't angered by Caroline's attitude. Instead, he said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "I'm just going to talk to that little girl Sophie about what happened in Tagore Forest. I won't do anything to her."
"Little … little girl?" Caroline's expression immediately froze.
It wasn't because Reid called her a little girl, but because Sophie, the elven queen, had been called a little girl by Reid.
One had to know that Sophie had lived for thousands of years as the queen of the elven race.
There were only a handful of people in the Omnippertansen who could call Sophie a "little girl".
And it was obvious that all of them were existences of higher status than Sophie.
How could Caroline not freeze up?
But Reid was no longer paying attention to her.
"I'll head over to your side later," Reid said to Shien, "Help me keep an eye on Mi Lu. Don't let her run around, got it?"
After that, Lide stood up from Mi Lu's head for the first time. With a "swoosh" sound, he turned into a black shadow and instantly disappeared in the direction of the Queen's Palace.
"Wait …!"
Caroline wanted to stop him, but she couldn't make it in time.
This made Caroline want to chase after him subconsciously.
"Alright, Sister, don't worry too much. Don't worry about so many things, okay?"
Sean stretched out his hand, grabbed the back collar of the deputy division leader of the Elven Division, and pulled him back.
"What are you doing?!"
Caroline struggled.
Unfortunately, Caroline might be an excellent mage, but she wasn't an excellent athlete.
In front of Sean, the strength of her struggle was completely insufficient.
Shien calmly carried the struggling elf girl in one hand and the happy Mi Lu in the other. He walked towards the treehouse as he spoke.
"Why?" Shien said, "If she really wanted to do anything to your queen, she would've died a thousand years ago."
Caroline's movements froze at these words.
"A thousand years ago …?"
How could Caroline not have guessed something when this sensitive year had been brought up?
Back then, Sophie, as the elven queen, had not only led the elves to participate in the final battle against the Demon King, but had also joined forces with Reiya and Niya to form a team of 13 heroes to fight against the Demon Beasts of the six demons.
Now that Shien had mentioned a thousand years ago and said that the mysterious little beast had wanted to do something to the queen, the queen would've been finished then. There was no need to say what this would make people think of.
"Could it be that the talking monster is …?"
Caroline shuddered.
Only then did Shien smile playfully.
"Of course it's your queen's old rival."
That was it.
…
The elven homeland, the queen's palace.
At this moment, Sophie, who had been sitting upright on the throne, had opened her eyes and walked down from her throne.
In front of him, Reiya and Niya had also arrived, but their faces were tense, and they looked very nervous.
Sophie arrived in front of Reiya and Niya, as if bringing these two close officials with her as she stared at the opposite side.
There, a mysterious furry little beast appeared and landed in front of the three Legendary elven mages.
"Long time no see, Sophie."
Lider looked at the three familiar faces in front of her and grinned.
Sophie took a deep breath as she stared at this little beast that was much smaller than it was a thousand years ago. Yet, she could still sense a trace of terrifying malevolent aura from it.
Reiya and Niya were already bowing to him.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Reiya and Niya bowed respectfully, their tone filled with reverence.
Sophie did the same.
"It's really been a long time."
Sophie's voice spread respectfully.
"Demon Beasts, Your Highness Lieddorma."
