"My lord..."
Several maids in long skirts were so frightened that they knelt down.
They were just "servants" who had just returned with Sangmaik and knew nothing about anything here.
Xiao He and Sang Mai Kui look about 80% alike, and most people would think they are siblings. However, Sang Mai Kui's words just now were quite ambiguous.
Only a pointed-eared elf princess, whose country was unknown, stood silently by and watched from the beginning.
She glanced at Xiao He's lower abdomen; if Sang Mai Kui hadn't said she was pregnant, there wouldn't have been any visible bulge at the current stage.
Wang Xuefeng, who was standing next to her, had met him once before and knew that he was Sang Maikui's capable subordinate.
"Could it be that he discovered his sister had secretly made a life-altering promise with one of his subordinates? Is he angry?" She didn't say it outright, but she was already fairly certain in her mind.
Although she was originally a princess of the Elf Kingdom, her current status is that of a "captive," a spoil of war of the "Lord of Ice."
If Wang Xuefeng hadn't used threats and inducements to "persuade" her to surrender first, thus averting a bloodbath in the kingdom, she probably wouldn't have been able to accept the silver-haired man before her.
“Frost…” Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she thought, “Even a hint of anger is so oppressive, is this what the gods are like?”
Protoss.
Mysterious, ancient, and powerful, they were born at the pinnacle of racial strength.
When Sammek appeared on the king's throne with a dragon, she became deeply infatuated with him. She even volunteered to replace her sister, who was supposed to be a prisoner.
It was precisely because of her cooperation that Sammek did not restrict her movements.
"My lord, please calm down..."
Only when she spoke did Xiao He notice her.
My first impression was that she was good-looking, and my second impression was that she was as short as me.
However, Sangmaik remained expressionless, coldly staring at Xiao He in front of him, and did not look away even when he heard other voices.
"Then you should stay with your husband and not go anywhere."
"Fine, I won't go then. It's not like I'm the one who's at a disadvantage."
Xiao He gave him a disdainful look.
As if they had reached an agreement, the two simultaneously sheathed their swords.
Sangmaikkui snorted coldly and disappeared on the mountaintop with a gust of wind.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to hurry and follow.
The fairy princess glanced at Xiao He again, then slowly spread her wings, holding her small harp, and leisurely flew down the mountain.
After everyone had left, Xiao He turned around and asked Wang Xuefeng with a nervous expression, "How was it? Did I seem like a fiercely protective husband? Did he suspect me?"
The latter smiled and rubbed her head: "It's alright. As long as he holds my life in his hands, he'll trust you completely."
Unexpectedly, Xiao He frowned sharply upon hearing this: "Lifeline? What lifeline of yours is in his hands?"
"This... isn't a big problem."
Tell me, and I'll definitely help you get it back!
"Don't worry, I have a plan, everything will be fine."
"..." Xiao He hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Don't even think about it!" Wang Xuefeng put his arm around her shoulder and rode off into the air. "There seems to be an exotic performance today, want to go check it out?"
"Are those the same people from earlier?" Xiao He thought of the girl. "I feel like they're a bit strange, like those snake people. Can we take a look from a distance first?"
“Of course,” Wang Xuefeng said with a smile.
-
"Waaah—"
"Knock knock, knock knock..."
The dense drumbeats were very cheerful, mixed with sharp flute sounds, and seemed to have no fixed rhythm.
Several voluptuous snake women swayed their hips and danced and sang to their hearts' content on the stage.
However, Xiao He couldn't understand their "music" at all.
Sangmaik sat right in the center of the audience, neither eating nor drinking, like a serious spectator.
The fairy princess stood not far from him, glancing at the dance and then at him.
Further up the mountainside, Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng were no longer so constrained and could sit wherever they pleased.
Who is that girl?
"Princess Los of the Kingdom of Jeremyas, a Forest Elf."
"It's a bit hard to remember," Xiao He said honestly and seriously.
Wang Xuefeng smiled and said, "No need to remember. These small empires and kingdoms are as numerous as hairs on a cow, and some are not even half the size of Flying Dragon City."
"I see..." Xiao He suddenly realized.
"Yes, the number of elves is about the same as that of humans, but the elves have four major branches: the forest elves who live in the forests, the fire elves who live in the volcanoes, the rock elves who live underground, and the water elves who live underwater. Although their lifestyles are different, they have always kept to themselves..."
Wang Xuefeng added halfway through his sentence, "If it weren't for Sangmaikui."
Upon hearing this, Xiao He was taken aback: "What's going on?"
“Sangmaikui used the ‘Tree of Life’ as a bargaining chip to bribe many races along the way. Those who were already in competition had their balance broken, and the war began.”
"Is the continent of Wansla really that chaotic?" Xiao He was taken aback.
"Hmm." Wang Xuefeng nodded slightly: "Xiao Xing's task is not simple."
"This..." Xiao He thought and thought, but something still felt off: "Why is his mission so strange? It seems to be more difficult than mine!"
"The order he chose... the reward is that his whole family will live to be a hundred years old." Wang Xuefeng was also helpless.
Xiao He's lips twitched: "The whole...the whole family..."
The system will increase the difficulty of the task according to the reward level, something Xiao He had already tried.
“Yes, so he’s a high-level mission just like you. The reason he wasn’t promoted to the highest level is because the system lowered the difficulty for him since the team helped him,” Wang Xuefeng explained.
