Chapter 522: Chapter 341: I Want to Date the Queen! A New Host Appears?

"You may rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Alina slowly got to her feet, clutching her rear. She was biting her rosy red lips so hard they nearly bled.

’It hurts so much!’

Although a thrill had bloomed within her during the punishment, making her cry out in spite of herself.

The pain, however, was still seared into her memory—and it was all Su Xuan’s "handiwork"!

’That bastard!’

After shooting Su Xuan a resentful glare, Alina turned her gaze to the Elf Queen, awaiting her judgment.

"You are dismissed for now. I still have matters to discuss with President Su Xuan." The Elf Queen waved her hand, signaling for Alina to leave.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Alina gave a slight nod and left the study, still clutching her rear.

As she closed the door, she grumbled, "It hurts like hell! You wicked, awful man! Just you wait! Hmph!"

Su Xuan was entirely undaunted by her resentment.

’If worst comes to worst, I’ll just have to find another time to teach this Elf Princess a proper lesson.’

"Alright~ Now it’s just the two of us~"

The Elf Queen raised a hand, her fingertips tapping lightly on the desk. She spoke softly, "Next time, don’t do strange things in my chambers. If the Elf Elders were to find out, not even I could protect you."

"Are the Elf Elders really that powerful?" Su Xuan was a little surprised. ’Even the Elf Queen has to listen to them?’

"They are the cornerstones that uphold the Elf Kingdom," the Elf Queen explained. "Besides, many of the Elf Elders are only a few years younger than I am. They are also great Guardians of the Elf Race."

"So, unless the circumstances are exceptional, I will not use my authority as Queen to suppress them."

"Besides, you were the one at fault to begin with."

"Er..." Su Xuan was speechless for a moment. ’Was I... really in the wrong?’

Ahem~

’But, compared to all that, it seems the Elf Queen isn’t actually blaming me for what happened with Alina?’

’At least she doesn’t have the attitude of the Elf Elders, who’d probably want to stuff us adulterers in a pig cage and drown us...’

"Alright~"

With a flick of her finger, the ruler in Su Xuan’s hand instantly flew back to her own.

Then, she said softly, "Let’s get back to the matter at hand. Your reward."

~

Su Xuan fell silent. The ’reward’ he’d just received had already left him quite satisfied!

Ahem~!

He cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, the reward you wish to bestow upon me... it couldn’t be this ruler, could it?"

"Yes and no."

The Elf Queen shook her head and said softly, "I hope that you can help me remove this item’s restrictions."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan was taken aback for a moment. He retorted, "Your Majesty, are you sure this counts as a reward?"

"You can use this item on any Elf you wish."

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"

Su Xuan’s immediate change in attitude brought a knowing smile to the Elf Queen’s face. She then said, "Aside from that, the Undead Monarch’s precise location has been confirmed. I will personally lead the troops there tomorrow morning, and I hope President Su Xuan will be present."

"Mhm, I’ll be there."

Su Xuan patted his chest, assuring the Elf Queen.

"Very good~"

The Elf Queen once again tossed the Elf Ruler into Su Xuan’s hands. Then she stood up and continued, "Although the Elf Race has always forbidden marriage with outsiders, I have given you my word before that you are an exception."

"For now, we will let the matter with Alina go. I will not pursue it further."

"However!"

The Elf Queen’s tone suddenly turned serious as she warned Su Xuan, "If you are thinking of taking Alina as your wife, you had best abandon that notion as soon as possible. She is not like the other Elves."

"Is it because she is to inherit your throne?" Su Xuan asked cautiously.

"Yes and no."

The Elf Queen gave another ambiguous answer. "You may fall in love with any Elf, as long as they are willing. But Alina is the sole exception."

"But..."

Su Xuan hesitated for a moment before asking in return, "Does that mean I can be in a relationship with you?"

His question made the Elf Queen freeze for a second. But she quickly shot Su Xuan a cold glare and said icily, "What do you think?"

"Let’s get back to the matter of the Undead Monarch."

Su Xuan immediately changed the subject, asking the Elf Queen, "Earlier, Alina mentioned that the Divine Realm has been shattered... What happened? Could you tell me about it?"

"It’s exactly what it sounds like."

The Elf Queen slowly began to explain to Su Xuan. "Because the World Core was shattered, the Divine Realm has become a place of nothingness. Not even the Gods can survive in the Divine Realm now, and this happened over a thousand years ago."

"The Divine Realm is shattered?"

Su Xuan’s expression was one of utter disbelief.

’If the Divine Realm is shattered... doesn’t that mean the path to godhood has been cut off?’

"The Gods of today can only rely on their own Divine Power to sustain their respective Domains and protect their followers," the Elf Queen continued. "But some Divine Domains are too vast, and even the Gods cannot supply them with Divine Power for long periods, causing those Divine Domains to teeter on the brink of collapse."

"Therefore, those Gods trick Demigods from the Lower Realm into entering Their Divine Domains. They use the lives of these Demigods to serve as the cores for their realms. That is the state of the Divine Realm today."

"Tricking Demigods?"

After hearing this, Su Xuan immediately thought of Queen Medusa.

’She was also tricked into ascending to the Divine Realm. Could it be related to this?’

"However~"

The Elf Queen spoke again, but her tone was tinged with a hint of skepticism. "Rumor has it that a group of Gods is trying to find a way to fix the shattered World Core, and one of them has apparently found a solution."

"Oh?"

Su Xuan raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "And what solution is that?"
