Half-Step Multiple Desires Legend (Complete) - 33

Four Hundred and Seventy-Eight Passionate Waters:

Duo Duo immediately relaxed, remembering how he had almost choked to death. He couldn't help but smile wryly. Looking down, he saw Lucy clinging to his neck, her legs wrapped around his waist, her eyes tightly shut. He chuckled and said, "My little princess, it's alright."

Hearing Duo Duo's voice, Lucy slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Duo Duo teasingly looking at her, she blushed and scolded, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't scared me, I wouldn't have fallen

!" Duo Duo pinched Lucy's bottom hard in the water and laughed, "I'll punish you! How dare you sneak here to bathe without telling me!

You…you were with Yana, how could I tell you? Besides, you made me all sweaty last night, my body felt sticky and uncomfortable." Lucy pouted, instinctively hugging Duo Duo tightly and trying to rub her body against him.

This friction worked wonders; the cleft of Lucy's buttocks rubbed against Duo Duo's lower body. He had been momentarily distracted by the fright, but now that the danger was over, all his senses returned. Duo Duo, feeling Lucy's shapely body in the water and recalling the stunningly beautiful image of her bathing, felt his lower body rise in the water, pressing against Lucy's buttocks…

Lucy felt the massive object in her buttocks and blushed, saying, "You're naughty… you never forget about this…"

Duo Duo chuckled mischievously, "With a beauty like you by my side, if I didn't think about this, I wouldn't be a man!" Saying this, Duo Duo grabbed Lucy's buttocks with both hands, lifting her body and rubbing his massive object back and forth against her buttocks. "

My little princess, there's no one here. Just the two of us…" Duo Duo whispered in Lucy's ear.

Under Duo Duo's teasing, Lucy's body gradually became aroused. Hearing Duo Duo's words, she let out a soft moan and buried her head in Duo Duo's arms without comment.

Dodo felt as if Lucy's pink, tender lower body was suddenly being drawn to his manhood, and he knew that the girl must be aroused. He couldn't help but feel secretly delighted; finally, he could taste Lucy's beauty again. For so long, he could only look but had to hold back, and that feeling was truly uncomfortable.

Want some? Dodo's fingers, which were gripping Lucy's buttocks, gently stroked the folds of her anus. Everything was so smooth in the water, saving him a lot of trouble. Dodo applied a little pressure with his fingers. His index finger had already inserted a section into her anus.

Oh… Lucy suddenly arched her body and let out a groan. She hugged Dodo's neck, looking at him with watery eyes, and gently nodded: Hmm…

Dodo, having received permission, didn't hesitate any longer. He forcefully lifted Lucy's body so that her breasts were directly in front of his mouth, and then quickly took the nipple into his mouth, sucking it gently.

"Mmm..."

Lucy moaned, clutching Dodo's head tightly, wishing she could shove her entire breasts into that tormenting mouth.

"Mmm...mmm...mmm..." Lucy whimpered, urgently expressing her desire; the quiet, pleasant environment amplified her urgency. "

Here you go, baby..." Dodo gripped Lucy's buttocks tightly. Aiming at his erect penis, he thrust forward. *Plop*, he was fully inside Lucy. "

So tight, baby..."

This was Dodo's first time making love in the water; the smooth sensation was exquisite. Plus, Lucy hadn't had sex in a long time, her passage as tight as a virgin's.

"Oh..." Lucy threw her head back and cried out in pleasure, her long-suppressed desire finally released. The long-awaited fullness almost made her soul tremble.

The buoyancy of the water prevented Dodo from thrusting as forcefully as usual, but it offered a unique and intoxicating pleasure.

With each thrust, Lucy's moans grew louder, as she clung tightly to Duo Duo's body. Each time Duo Duo penetrated, her legs, wrapped around his waist, would tighten to meet his thrusts. "

Does it feel good?" Duo Duo asked breathlessly.

"Good...good...give it to me...I want it...I want it..." Lucy said urgently. "

What do you want?" Duo Duo thrust suddenly, making Lucy's bones feel weak. Her upper body tensed, her head arched back, water droplets from her hair flying and falling into the water like pearls on a jade plate.

"Mmm...I want...I want you...

what do you want from me?"

Duo Duo kept asking during the thrusts, finding it incredibly stimulating. He longed for this noble little princess to utter lewd words at such a moment. "

I want you...I want you...you bad boy, harder..." Duo

Duo thrust suddenly, a rapid, powerful series of thrusts almost driving Lucy mad. During the thrusts, Duo Duo cried out urgently: "Tell me quickly, what do you want!"

"Put it in me...push it in me hard...oh...faster, I'm coming..."

In the throes of intense pleasure, Lucy was completely absorbed in the exquisite sex. Facing the powerful Duo Duo, she let go of everything, all her desires transforming into lewd words, stimulating Duo Duo and also unleashing the wildness within herself.

Just as Duo Duo and Lucy were enjoying this unique sex experience in the water, not far away, You Hun and Yana approached side by side. In the moonlight, their brows were furrowed, and anxious expressions appeared on their pretty faces...

The moonlight was cold, and the sound of water was constant.

The intense sex in the pond added an endless atmosphere of debauchery to this peaceful night.

Duo Duo saw Yana and You Hun approaching from afar, and of course, he noticed the worry in their expressions.

When Yana and You Hun saw this scene in the pond, they were immediately stunned.

They and Duo Duo had no shortage of sexual experience, but they had never tried, or even imagined, such unique aquatic sex.

In matters of sex, they were passive, while Duoduo was active. After being deflowered by Duoduo, all their sexual experiences were given by her. They always did whatever Duoduo wanted, and their creativity in sex was practically zero.

Youhun and Yana only watched for a moment before feeling their bodies heat up. Their minds uncontrollably conjured up images of themselves moaning under a man's crotch in the pond—what would that feel like?

However, the reason they had come was to tell Duoduo something important. After hesitating for a moment, Youhun stepped forward to call out, but Yana grabbed her arm and stopped her with a look.

"Wait a minute..." Yana said with a smile.

"But this is very important!" Youhun said anxiously.

Yana smiled and said, "Anyway, this has been going on for a while now. Since we haven't found out yet, we might as well waste another night. Besides, do you think Master will be happy if you disturb him at this time?"

Then, Yana suddenly smiled mischievously and leaned close to Youhun, saying, "If you were the one being fucked by Master in the water, and he stopped before you were satisfied, would you be happy?"

Youhun blushed and gently pinched Yana's arm, saying, "You're becoming more and more like him. 'Fuck'? That's too vulgar..."

Yana chuckled and said, "There's nothing I can do about it being vulgar. I really don't know any other adjectives to describe such things. Besides, I'm Master's slave girl, so naturally I have to learn from him. Speaking of which, you should all be my mistresses."

"Sister Yana, I didn't treat you like a slave girl! He's really something, calling himself Master and slave girl. We'll curse him together later!" Youhun hurriedly said.

Yana said, "It's alright. Having such a master is my blessing. Besides, my master once told me that I, like you, am one of her beloved women. Otherwise, would I dare to speak to you so rudely? Hehe, perhaps I would have to respectfully greet the mistress every time we meet... I know how good my master is to me. I would be content to be his slave for life..."

Yana's genuine emotions touched the wandering soul. Watching the man venting his emotions in the water, she sighed softly. Didn't she share the same thoughts as Yana? She truly didn't know what charm this man possessed that made her so devoted!

In the water,

centered on Duoduo and Lucy, violent ripples spread outwards with each of their movements.

Lucy was now embracing Duoduo tightly, their bodies intertwined like gnarled tree roots. Their lower bodies were connected, and Duoduo was vigorously thrusting into her buttocks. This position meant she was facing away from Yana and Youhun, so she was unaware that her passionate moans and entanglements were being watched. Otherwise, she would have been mortified. Duoduo

held Lucy, but his eyes were fixed on Yana and Youhun, his gaze filled with both burgeoning lust and an encouraging invitation.

Youhun,

however, didn't understand Duoduo's intentions. She was struggling with her own body; the scene before her was too stimulating for her, and in her turbulent emotions, she ignored everything else.

Yana gently nudged Youhun, who let out a soft moan and came to her senses, only to be surprised to see Yana slowly undressing.

Her clothes slipped down, revealing a lithe body that, in the moonlight, was as flawless as a goddess statue. Yana smiled slightly at the wandering soul and whispered in his ear, "Hurry up, Master is waiting...Aren't you curious about what it feels like in the water?"

The wandering soul's heart skipped a beat. Hesitating,

he watched as Yana quietly entered the water, her movements light and graceful, her voice completely drowned out by the intense passion of Duoduo and Lucy. Duoduo smiled at Yana, moving lightly to meet her. When the water reached his waist, he joined Yana.

While the waist-high water could conceal the point where Duoduo and Lucy's bodies were joined, Duoduo's deliberate, forceful movements repeatedly lifted Lucy's buttocks above the water before pulling her down forcefully, creating a loud, splashing sound. Especially with each withdrawal, a section of her enormous member was exposed, directly in the wandering soul's line of sight—this was blatant temptation.

Lucy was completely lost in the beauty of desire…

This night, this environment, this beloved, this intense activity, this exhilarating release—all of these combined to create an incredibly stimulating experience for her, especially the pent-up physical urges that, after three or four orgasms, brought her unparalleled pleasure.

She clung tightly to Duo Duo's neck, her body thrusting against his, moaning softly, completely immersed in the passion. It was as if, at this moment, only Duo Duo and she remained in the world.

Suddenly!

Lucy's body jolted, her eyes snapping open in shock, only to see Duo Duo grinning mischievously at her.

She felt Duo Duo's hands leave her body, but another pair of hands appeared behind her, holding her in that position. Without those hands, she felt as if she were being held up by Duo Duo's massive member in the water, completely unsupported.

Lucy turned around hastily, and was shocked to see Yana smilingly hugging her from behind, her full, large breasts gently rubbing against her back.

"Ah!" Lucy exclaimed, her face flushing even more. She didn't know when Yana had arrived. It seemed that Yana had seen everything she had just done.

Dodo chuckled, "My little princess, look over there..." Dodo's eyes glanced in the direction of the wandering soul.

When Lucy saw the wandering soul, she was even more ashamed, wishing she could immediately sink into the water so no one could see her face.

Helplessly, Yana's hands were tightly wrapped around her from behind, and not to mention her hands, the huge thing still inserted in her lower body was already feeling even more swollen and hard. She couldn't bear to leave no matter what.

"You fatso! You...you bastard! You didn't even tell me, and everyone saw us..." Lucy glared at Dodo in shame and anger, scolding him in a coquettish voice.

Dodo chuckled and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? There are no outsiders, my dear little princess. You have no idea how well you performed just now. Didn't you see they were all seduced by us?"

As she spoke, Dodo secretly winked at Yana.

Yana smiled slightly behind Lucy. She nodded, hugged Lucy even tighter, and then whispered while licking Lucy's sensitive earlobe, "You performed so well, we can't take it anymore, let us join you and enjoy the wonderful things our master has given us..."

When Yana's tongue touched Lucy's earlobe, Lucy's body trembled violently. Dodo could clearly feel it even when he was inside her. At that moment, Lucy's body moved like a small mouth, showing how nervous she was.

With Yana's help, Dodo's free hands began to knead Lucy's soft breasts, diligently using various flirtatious techniques on them.

Her earlobes, back, and breasts were all "attacked," especially the latent stimulation in her heart, causing Lucy's recently calmed consciousness to gradually blur again.

Although she still had some resistance in her heart, her body did not resist in any way because of her resistance. She just clenched her fists, closed her eyes tightly, and let Duo Duo and Yana play with her body.

Duo Duo looked at You Hun and laughed, "Aren't you coming? If you don't come, there won't be any for you."

You Hun stood on the shore, her eyes fixed on the man and two women entwined in the water. She felt that her lower body was already incredibly wet, and even just standing there, her legs were rubbing against each other uncontrollably... Hearing Duo Duo's

call, You Hun hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, took off her clothes, and resolutely walked into the water.

The coolness of the pool water slightly relieved the desire she had been aroused, but it increased her anticipation even more. She was getting closer and closer to that passionate camp.

As soon as the wandering soul approached Duoduo, Duoduo grabbed his neck with a large hand and pulled him forcefully to his side. Before the wandering soul could react, Duoduo's lips were already domineeringly kissing him.

The wandering soul made two soft moans, his arms wrapped around Duoduo, and he began to open his teeth, meeting Duoduo's roughness, his fragrant tongue entwining with Duoduo's.

For a long, long time...

when the wandering soul was almost out of breath, Duoduo finally pulled away from her lips. Looking at her heavily panting, her pretty face flushed, Duoduo chuckled and said, "Let's start together..."

To be honest, Duoduo felt incredibly excited at this moment. He had experienced the bed scene of one emperor and two empresses, but now it was one emperor and three empresses, something he could only imagine in his fantasies. Of course, in the cellar of the Dark Elf tribe, Duoduo had also been with Yana, Alice, and Maria at the same time, but what did that count for? The blatant humiliation, devoid of any emotion, could be considered a form of torture rather than sex. The feeling was naturally worlds apart from holding three beloved women in his arms.

Duo Duo pulled You Hun close, his large hand sliding down the water to grasp and knead her firm, full buttocks. His fingers gently teased the alluring edge of her anus, eliciting soft moans from You Hun, her body limp and clinging to Duo Duo.

Duo Duo chuckled and said, "Darling, this is yours now..." As he spoke, Duo Duo gently tugged at Lucy's erect, rosy nipples.

Lucy glared shyly at Duo Duo, then tightly closed her eyes again. "Oh my god! Why am I starting to feel this anticipation?"

Lucy felt incredibly embarrassed by the strange feeling that had arisen within her. She didn't dare look at the person beside her, yet she secretly hoped that he would begin to touch her body. Yana's movements behind her felt incredibly comfortable. If her beloved man liked it, Lucy wouldn't mind completely releasing her body.

The wandering soul hesitated, but under the expectant gazes of Duo Duo and Yana, she moved shyly, leaning closer to Lucy, opening her small mouth to take Lucy's jewel-like nipple into her mouth.

"Mmm…"

Lucy couldn't help but let out a moan, her legs clamping tightly around Duo Duo's waist.

This moan was like a horn, and Yana began her movements, massaging Lucy's back with her breasts from behind, her tongue swirling around Lucy's earlobe. "

Damn! This is so exciting

!

It's incredibly exciting!"

Seeing all this, Duo Duo's lust intensified. The massive member inserted into Lucy's body trembled slightly, growing even harder and more engorged.

He reached out with both hands, one reaching underwater to grasp Lucy's buttocks, the other teasing You Hun's lower body. At the same time, he began rhythmically thrusting in and out. The combined effect was excellent, causing Lucy and You Hun to moan incessantly. Yana, however, was in no hurry. She knew her master would not mistreat her and would satisfy her cravings...

The sounds of water, moans, and panting filled the quiet night, the sounds of the four intertwining, rising and falling, forming a primal and seductive symphony of debauchery.

As their initial shyness was completely overwhelmed by their rising lust, the four became even more engrossed, their movements shifting from hesitant to bold and unrestrained.

Finally, Lucy succumbed to the fifth surge of pleasure, and You Hun was now the one receiving Duo Duo's enormous member.

The wandering soul, her back to Duo Duo, bent over with her buttocks sticking out. In front of her was Yana, who was now grasping Yana's breasts, her small mouth diligently licking them. Lucy had taken Yana's place, rubbing against Yana's body from behind, just as Yana had treated her earlier.

Hmm…

480 business.

The rear-entry position allowed Duo Duo to directly strike the softest depths of the wandering soul's body with each thrust.

The water, reaching only waist level, no longer had the buoyancy that Duo Duo and Lucy had when they were indulging in passion. The reduced buoyancy made Duo Duo's movements even more powerful, causing the wandering soul to groan incessantly. She had to hold onto Yana's body to maintain her balance, preventing herself from collapsing weakly in the water from Duo Duo's onslaught.

The night deepened, and the wind carried a slight chill.

But in this pond, the passion surged, the scene of unrestrained desire adding endless spring to this ordinary night.

With his three beloved women by his side, Duo Duo experienced the pleasure and joy that any man in the world seeks. With each thrust, each ejaculation, and each subsequent erection under their caresses, it seemed as if the limits of his life were being pushed to the limit. In this moment of yin and yang harmony and blissful joy, the Nine Yang Energy within him unconsciously began to circulate.

The Nine Yang Energy truly lived up to its reputation as a wondrous treasure of nature; its circulation not only relieved the women's fatigue and gave them even more exquisite pleasure than usual, but also made Duo Duo's body increasingly strong. The word "fatigue" seemed to be fading away from him. While Yana moaned and begged for mercy, while You Hun and Lucy weakly clung to his body, passively submitting to his pleasure, Duo Duo felt refreshed and exceptionally comfortable.

"Want more?" Duo Duo asked softly, a smug smile playing on his lips, as he held the three beauties.

"No, no, I really can't take it anymore, I'm sinking into the water, my legs are so weak..." Lucy clung tightly to Duo Duo's arm. All her strength was hanging on Duo Duo's arm. Her eyes were glazed, pleading pitifully.

"Master, if you... if you're not satisfied, then go ashore and let your slave girl serve you with her mouth..." Yana said softly.

"Sister Yana. It's all because you spoil him. Sooner or later, we'll be tortured to death by him..." Youhun said coquettishly.

Duo Duo laughed and pinched Youhun's delicate nose, teasingly saying, "Torture? Is this torture? Who was it that kept telling me to go harder and not stop? What, when did my little beauty develop masochistic tendencies?"

Youhun's face immediately turned extremely red with embarrassment, and she opened her small mouth to bite Duo Duo's finger. But Duo Duo quickly dodged, saying, "It's all your fault for forcing me to say that. Now you're bringing it up to embarrass me. I'm ignoring you!"

Lucy chuckled, "It's best if we ignore him. If he gets too cocky, his mouth won't let us off the hook!"

Then, Lucy looked at the sky and said, "Let's go up, I'm getting a little chilly..." Her words carried a hint of determination; despite being the youngest, she possessed a certain authority of a mature woman.

You Hun and Yana exchanged glances, then took Lucy's arms on either side, leaving Duo Duo behind as they staggered ashore.

"Hey, how can you leave your man here!" Duo Duo shouted.

Lucy turned and glared at him, saying, "Aren't you done yet? If you keep yelling, we'll both teach you a lesson, you fatso!"

You Hun and Yana found it amusing and burst into laughter. Duo

Duo stood in the water, touched his nose, and chuckled dryly, saying, "Who knows who'll teach whom a lesson! I'll let you off the hook for now!"

On the shore...

Dodo sat naked on the grass, Yana gently draping his clothes over him, while Youhun, Lucy, and Yana were already dressed.

In the heat of passion, it was fine, but now that things had calmed down, no one would feel comfortable being naked like Dodo.

Dodo turned to look at them, beckoning them over. Lucy, Yana, and Youhun sat beside him, Lucy and Youhun each holding his arm, while Yana gently massaged his shoulders from behind.

"Sister Yana, why are you serving him like this? If you make him feel good, we'll be the ones who suffer

later." After their group passion in the water, Lucy and Yana seemed much closer. If before they were deliberately getting close out of consideration for Dodo, now it was Lucy's true intention.

She had come to terms with it; she was just Dodo's woman, and all that racism could go to hell!

Lucy only wanted to be a good wife, a woman her beloved man would want to see…

Duo Duo chuckled contentedly, simultaneously circulating the Nine Yang Energy to create a warm red light shield that enveloped them all. In the night, the light shield shone brightly, and the smiles of everyone inside were genuine and sweet.

After a moment, Duo Duo asked, “Yana, Youhun, is there something you need here?”

Youhun playfully retorted, “So you finally remembered the important thing?” Duo Duo

grinned mischievously, “What’s the important thing? Getting intimate with my women is the most important thing. Everything else is trivial compared to this!”

Lucy teased, “You fatso, your mind is so filthy, yet you say it like it’s perfectly natural. Have you no shame?”

“Tch, with you guys, why would I need a face? If heaven wanted me to exchange my face for you, I’d not only be shameless, but if necessary, I’d even throw away my ass…hehe…”

"Pah, you're disgusting!" Lucy spat lightly, then turned to Youhun and said, "Sister Youhun, what's wrong?"

Youhun smiled and said, "Don't blame me if I tell you."

Lucy was taken aback and said, "Why would I blame you?"

Youhun said, "You were too gentle with that survivor when you questioned him today, and he didn't say anything. So, after you left, I interrogated him again..."

Lucy's eyes widened and she said, "He told you everything when you interrogated him? Damn it, I asked him so many questions, and he didn't utter a single word..."

Youhun smiled and said, "I just used a different method than you. Fortunately, I got information from him that we didn't know."

"Huh? What method did you use? You hit him?" Lucy asked.

"That kind of person seems tough, but he immediately softens after just a couple of slaps. So, there's no need to be merciful to our enemies in the future," Youhun said casually.

She spoke casually, but Duo Duo knew that those so-called two slaps were some kind of torture. The Wandering Soul's gentleness was only reserved for himself and the woman he cherished now; he felt no emotion towards anyone else. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the cold-blooded Wandering Soul feared by everyone.

To avoid Lucy getting too entangled in this matter, Duo Duo deliberately asked directly, "What news did you get?" To be honest, Duo Duo didn't want Lucy to get involved in these cruel things. This simple and lovely woman, he only wanted to hold her in his arms forever, letting her see only the most beautiful things, keeping all the ugly and cruel things out of her.

"We're currently about two days' journey from the official border of the Elven Kingdom, which is the intersection of the roads leading to the three countries. According to the information I got from that guy, the border is completely under martial law! Recently, all caravans and horse caravans have been stopped there and are under control, unable to enter the Elven Kingdom, and not allowed to return!" the Wandering Soul said.

Dodo paused, then suddenly realized why he had only seen merchants from human territories at the Half-Step Restaurant recently, instead of caravans returning from purchasing goods in elven territory. He hadn't paid much attention before, but now it was indeed a puzzling issue.

"Ah? Why is that? Who's controlling them?" Lucy asked in surprise.

"It's a coalition of three elven empires..." the wandering spirit said.

"Heavens! No way! While our elven kingdom has strict regulations regarding human purchases, we won't do anything unreasonable as long as human merchants don't violate them. Could it be that those controlled merchants have broken the elven empire's trade regulations?" Lucy couldn't believe that the noble Great Elves would do such a barbaric thing.

"Heh, I meant all the merchants. Even if only a small portion broke the regulations, all the merchants have been traveling between the human and elven empires for a long time. Would they break the regulations? Their only goal is profit. Besides, you saw it yourself, weren't those who blocked us also Great Elves?" the wandering spirit said.

“Yes, they are also great elves. At first, I thought they were natural archers from the Temple of Nature. Their arrows even have a spirit…” Lucy said, pausing for a moment.

The wandering spirit laughed, “Hehe, Lucy, you, a noble of the great elf race with super magical talent, don’t even know about magic circles? They just inlaid some clever magic circles on the arrows and bows…”

Chapter 481 Mysterious Hearing

Lucy’s pretty face blush, she muttered softly, “I was lazy before, I didn’t want to learn those troublesome things…”

Dodo, afraid that Lucy would be embarrassed, reached out and hugged Lucy in his arms, saying softly, “That’s right, why learn those things? From now on, our duty is to protect my little princess. My little princess just needs to stay quietly in my arms. If anyone dares to bully her, I’ll twist their head off!”

“You fatso, how can you be so rude!” Lucy scolded, but her heart was filled with sweetness as she snuggled into Dodo’s arms.

Yana was fine, but Youhun couldn't help feeling a little jealous. She now knew that none of them could compare to Lucy's position in Duoduo's heart.

A slight look of disappointment crossed Youhun's pretty face, but she quickly regained her composure. She had known Duoduo much later than Lucy, and Duoduo was treating her very well now. Knowing her, she believed that if anyone were to harm her, Duoduo would do what she had just told Lucy—twist off that person's head.

Contentment…that's the key to happiness!

Youhun didn't want to incur her beloved's dislike because of jealousy. Her goal was simple: she didn't mind sharing her man with others, as long as she always held a place in his heart.

"What exactly happened?" Duoduo asked. He was becoming curious and enjoying the feeling of his woman seeking his advice and treating him as her pillar of support.

"The rumors in the elven territory aren't just about treasure. If it were just treasure, the elven empire wouldn't be so tense, and there wouldn't be any cooperation between the three kingdoms. According to that elf's confession, the treasure is just a side issue. The rumored location of the treasure also holds the secret to becoming a god..." the wandering spirit said.

"Becoming a god?" Dodo was stunned. His past life's experiences had made him an absolute atheist, so when he heard the word "becoming a god," he felt inexplicably resistant and disbelieving.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that he had already experienced the strange phenomenon of time travel, and it actually happened in this world where magic and martial arts were rampant. So, what else was impossible?

"My God? Becoming a god? Really?" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.

"Whether it's true or not is still unclear, but at least it's certain that this news has made the Elven Empire nervous! The Great Elves only worship the Goddess of Nature, and within their territory, no second god is allowed. And with too many caravans and horse caravans being controlled ahead, they can't possibly control all the humans heading there. That's why they sent these archers to ambush them halfway, attempting to use bloodshed to scare the caravans and horse caravans back on their own..." The Wandering Soul said. These things sounded somewhat unbelievable, but looking at the Wandering Soul's furrowed brow, it was clear that, at least in her opinion, it was quite credible.

After hesitating for a moment, Duoduo said, "Let's continue. We want to see for ourselves!"

The Wandering Soul, Yana, and Lucy nodded together. Duoduo smiled and said, "There's nothing to worry about. At least we still have Lucy, my precious little princess. Let's see who can stop our princess from returning home!"

The Sumen Mountains, a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles, can be considered the gateway to the Elven territory.

Beyond the Sumen Mountains lies a wide road, with three forks leading to the Heavenly Vine Elven Empire. The Giant Tree Elf Empire, the Green Grass Elf Empire.

For merchants who frequently traded between the human and elven empires, the Suman Mountains were a dividing line between poverty and wealth. Successfully crossing the Suman Mountains meant embarking on the road to riches.

Of course, given the importance of this mountain range, it also meant extreme difficulty. The Suman Mountains were incredibly treacherous, teeming with terrifying magical beasts. Only those with immense wealth to hire skilled bodyguards, purchase the necessary tools, and acquire various supplies could

succeed. Therefore, crossing the Suman Mountains was an undertaking only for the wealthy. Even among adventurers seeking riches, the vast majority perished in the Suman Mountains, while the very few who succeeded quickly rose to the ranks of the rich.

At this moment, the foot of the Suman Mountains was filled with a cacophony of voices, a cacophony of shouts and curses.

On the vast grassland, numerous caravans and horse packs were gathered, their colorful tents stretching like small hills.

Due to the limited area, the excrement of both people and the unicorns used for transport was all contained within this area, resulting in a foul stench permeating the air. It seemed these people had been trapped here for some time.

The grassland was surrounded by a forest of towering trees, a dark expanse that exuded a chilling aura of danger.

"Damn it, those vile elves! I really want to capture them, kill the men, and fuck the women to death!" A burly man, seemingly a caravan leader, sat in front of a black tent, cursing loudly as he looked at the surrounding forest.

"Yeah! Damn it, they dare to imprison our freedom! Bastards, we have to go back and complain to the Empire! This will incite war! Let our Empire's iron hooves trample the Elven Empire!" A large man nearby echoed.

"Sigh..." an old man sighed, saying, "What on earth is going on? I've been trading back and forth for so many years, and I've never encountered anything like this before. Don't those elves know how serious the consequences of their actions might be?"

"I wonder when they'll let us go back! Sigh... trading back and forth is just too dangerous. Anyway, I've made enough money. As long as they let us go back, I'll turn around immediately and never trade with the Elven Empire again. Tsk tsk... I really miss the sweet fruit wine from the Half-Step Tavern!" the burly man said, licking his lips.

"Haha, I think you miss the proprietress of the Half-Step Tavern more..." a companion teased.

"Damn it, you still have the mind to joke around? Your own life is in danger now!" the burly man cursed.

His companion's expression immediately fell, his brows furrowing as he said, "That wretched woman only showed herself once, saying she'd let us go, let us go! Damn it, it's been so many days, and we haven't even seen a trace of her! I really want to rush out!"

"Are you out of your mind? Look over there, the blood's still wet..." the old man said, his lips trembling.

Everyone immediately stopped talking, their eyes filled with a despairing gray. At the edge of the meadow, in the direction of their return path, several pools of dark red blood stood out starkly against the lush green grass.

And in front of several tents in the distance, several corpses lay silently.

They would never forget the deadly arrows that had shot from the forest when these people ignored the elves' warnings and tried to rush out of the meadow to return the way they came.

These caravans and muleteers included many highly paid martial arts masters and mage bodyguards, but even these skilled warriors were helpless against the sheer number of these relentlessly pursuing arrows, which seemed to possess a life of their own.

"Sigh... let's wait a little longer. If only one person could slip out, at least we could send word to our empire, and the imperial army wouldn't stand idly by!" the old man sighed.

No one echoed his sentiment, for the lessons learned in blood told them that within the range of the numerous elven archers in the forest, it was simply impossible for anyone to slip out... Deep in the forest, nestled among several towering trees, stood a small tent.

The tent looked uncomfortable, squeezed between the surrounding trees; one could imagine how suffocating it would be for anyone inside.

However, for the great elves, who revered nature, it was impossible to arbitrarily cut down trees for their own comfort.

Remarkably, despite its small size, the tent didn't feel cramped inside; one had to admire the designer's skill.

A fist-sized pearl hung in the center of the tent, illuminating it as bright as day, yet the light was soft and not at all glaring.

Seated on a chair above was a woman of stunning beauty, with a spirited air about her and a chillingly cold gaze.

If Duo Duo were present, she would be no stranger to this woman; she was none other than Catherine, the one Duo Duo had raped, tortured, and driven out of Mandala City.

On either side of her sat two middle-aged elves, dressed differently but both possessing an extraordinary air, clearly high-ranking individuals.

“Princess Catherine, are you not going to release these humans? Our mission is to blockade the Suman Mountains, not to imprison these caravans of humans. You should know that doing so could have serious consequences!” said a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe. He was Duke Os, the representative of the Giant Tree Empire for this joint blockade operation.

Another middle-aged man, Earl Campbell, the representative of the Green Grass Elf Empire, chimed in, "Yes, this is all unnecessary. We only need to seal off the Suman Mountains. What is the purpose of using bloodshed to imprison them? Is this what your Heavenly Vine Empire intends? But why drag us into this?" Duke Os

of the Suman Mountains

said, "As far as I know, the news has already spread, so your control is unnecessary."

Catherine smiled coldly and said, "The reason I'm doing this is to let these humans know the seriousness of this matter! Those despicable fellows, if we only seal off the Suman Mountains, they will be even more curious and will try their best to slip through. At that time, we will be spending every day dealing with those persistent opportunists." "They're annoyed by our harassment! Only death can frighten them, making them abandon their greedy thoughts in fear!"

Catherine continued, "Don't worry, we won't imprison them for long. When their hearts are completely filled with fear, we will release them. Moreover, we are doing this in the overall interests of our elven territory. I believe the human empire will not abandon the long-standing peace between us because of these merchants! Duke Os, Earl Campbell, there's a saying in the human territory: 'Words can be a fearsome thing.' When we use their words to portray our methods as even more ruthless and forceful, I believe that others who intend to cause trouble here will also be frightened. Even if there are still adventurers, I believe their numbers won't be many, which will make things much easier for us."

Duke Os and Earl Campbell stared at Catherine in disbelief.

Since the rumors of treasures leading to godhood appeared in the elven territory, the high-ranking officials of the three countries were greatly shocked, and the people were in a state of panic. Although the truth of the matter had not yet been confirmed, the situation had to be controlled. The Great Elves had only one faith, the Goddess of Nature, and this faith was also the way the royal family used to numb the people's minds.

Their mission was to blockade the Suman Mountains. Until the matter was fully resolved, or rather, until the rumors were confirmed, trade with humans was suspended. In their eyes, humans were extremely greedy, and they wouldn't allow greedy humans, upon hearing the rumors, to cause trouble in elven territory. Such actions would only fuel the people's ambitions and could potentially corrupt them with greed, leading to political instability.

Duke Os and Earl Campbell knew there were many ways to avoid this, but after careful consideration, they couldn't deny that Catherine's method might be the most effective.

However, hearing such a ruthless approach from the mouth of an elven beauty still sent chills down the spines of these two elven lords.

The rumors were indeed true. The iron-fisted princess of the Heavenly Vine Elven Empire was truly ruthless!

No wonder she scared away two fiancés… Catherine was quite pleased with the expressions on Duke Os and Earl Campbell's faces. Her ambition for power was growing ever stronger, though she knew the bitterness in her heart. Ever since being raped by that powerful elf in Mandala City, she didn't know what kind of curse had been placed on her body. Exhausted, Catherine returned to the Heavenly Vine Empire only to find that her body no longer seemed to belong to her. When she had physical desires, her lower body, besides feeling a burning urge, was completely immobile; even attempting to insert a finger was excruciatingly painful.

After countless attempts, Catherine finally understood in despair that the damned man had not only destroyed her virginity but also her future sexual happiness… Of course, this couldn't be known to outsiders. Catherine went to great lengths to conceal this, which is why two fiancés were scared away by her ruthless methods. She gradually transferred her physical and psychological desires to power, making this already ambitious woman even more terrifying.

Moreover, through her efforts and skillful methods, she actually managed to suppress her elder and younger brothers, performing exceptionally well before the king. Her current status is vastly different from what it once was, granting her the right to participate in court affairs.

The three empires within the elven territory have always maintained a friendly relationship, so even nobles from other countries observe proper etiquette. Among the representatives of the three kingdoms, Catherine clearly holds the greatest power and the highest status. Therefore, although there is no explicit division of labor, on the surface, Catherine has more power.

Duke Os and Duke Campbell, two renowned nobles, naturally wouldn't compete with Catherine for such short-term power, and they often politely defer to her... Night fell.

Dodo's caravan didn't rest early but continued their journey.

Originally, they planned to follow the proper customs of a caravan, but now it seemed unnecessary. According to the elf's instructions, infiltrating the elven empire seemed difficult, and it appeared they were in for some trouble.

"The Suman Mountains are just ahead, then turn left, and we'll reach our Giant Tree Empire!" Lucy exclaimed excitedly, her joy at the prospect of returning to her long-lost home filling her with excitement.

Yana and the Wandering Soul were also infected by Lucy's excitement. Although they anticipated difficulties ahead, they knew there was always a solution, and with Duo Duo by their side, they felt reassured.

Alice, Maria, and Felicity were released. After being confined in the package for several days, the three beauties looked noticeably haggard.

For safety reasons, Duo Duo didn't order Yana to release the restrictions on their bodies; they would deal with it once they reached the Elf Empire.

Alice, Maria, and Felicity were utterly desperate. After several days of living in the dark, dreary package, they didn't even know where they were, let alone how to escape.

Following behind Duo Duo, the three walked slowly, listening to Lucy and the others' cheerful laughter ahead, and seeing their own predicament, their hearts ached.

Dodo turned to look at them and sneered, "You're walking very slowly. Should I have the unicorn carry you again like before?"

Maria, Alice, and Felicity shuddered. They no longer wanted to endure the pain of being curled up in the bundle. Hearing Dodo's words, they quickly quickened their pace.

Dodo laughed, "That's more like it. As long as you're obedient, I won't torture you. Otherwise, don't blame me!"

At this moment, Dodo was still in his chubby half-elf form. Apart from Maria, Alice and Felicity had no idea that Dodo also had the incarnation of a handsome elf. Alice was somewhat better off, as she already knew that Dodo was surrounded by many beautiful women. But Felicity was extremely surprised. She only knew that Yana was this devil's accomplice, but she didn't expect that there was such a beautiful woman by his side, who seemed to love him very much... "Hurry up, speed up the process, and try to reach the Sumatra Mountains before resting!" Lucy shouted loudly.

Shouts rose and fell, and the unicorns quickened their pace considerably under the urging of the caravan members.

When the towering Sumatran Mountains appeared in the distance like a ferocious beast in the night, Lucy became even more excited, clutching Toto's hand, her little face flushed and incredibly adorable.

"Little darling, look how happy you are," Toto said with a smile.

"Of course I'm happy! We're almost home! I really miss my family," Lucy said, giving Toto a playful glare.

Toto feigned disappointment, saying, "What if they don't accept me? Then not only will I not be able to become the prince consort, but I'll probably even lose you, my precious wife..."

Lucy retorted crisply, "Who dares! Hmph, my father loves me the most, don't worry, everything will be alright."

Toto suddenly felt a pang of curiosity; it seemed that Lucy always spoke of her father when mentioning royalty, but never about her mother.

This curiosity flashed through Duo Duo's mind and was quickly forgotten... As they approached the Sumatran Mountains, at the edge of the forest, Yana raised an eyebrow and said, "Here we go again..."

Duo Duo and You Hun naturally understood Yana's meaning; they also sensed a strong killing intent emanating from the forest. Damn, was it really necessary to be so tense?

Could the rumors be true?

Whoosh... Arrows inlaid with magic arrays shot out from longbows also imbued with magic!

Having learned from their previous experience, Duo Duo and the others were naturally prepared, and the arrows didn't bother them at all.

Duo Duo smiled slightly, shielding You Hun and the others behind him. He spread his arms and secretly activated a technique from the fundamental rules of knighthood. In an instant, many red spears formed from the Nine Suns energy appeared before him. These spears only had the appearance; their length was no different from the arrows. With Duo Duo's current abilities, if he were to conjure so many properly proportioned spears, he would probably be exhausted.

Even so, this move still amazed his beloved women.

"Go to hell!" Duo Duo roared, his arms jerking violently, and a swarm of phantom spears shot out before him like lightning.

These phantom spears didn't meet the arrows head-on, but instead flew directly towards their origin. Then, a massive Nine Yang Energy Shield reappeared around Duo Duo, ignoring the crackling sounds of the arrows shattering against it.

Perhaps those hidden archers never imagined their magically imbued arrows would be shattered. In that moment of hesitation, death had arrived! The

spears, formed from the

Nine Yang Energy, were like the horns of death, the tolling bells of hell, striking their bodies with lightning speed, then immediately dispersing, carrying unparalleled destructive power, utterly destroying them.

A few screams and soft explosions echoed through the forest, followed by a spray of blood that rained down from the treetops to the ground. Had Lucy not been blinded by the darkness, the gruesome sight would have made her want to vomit.

After standing still for a moment, confirming that all those who had ambushed him were dead, Dodo raised his hand, ordering the caravan to remain where they were, while he began to discuss the situation with Youhun and the others.

"Let's go check it out first. The caravan is large; if there are more ambushes, someone could die if we're not careful," Dodo said thoughtfully.

Youhun nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

"I want to go too!" Lucy exclaimed impatiently.

Dodo hesitated for a moment, then said to Yana, "Yana, we'll go. You stay here! I'm worried there might be powerful elven royalty ahead. If they discover your dark elf aura, it'll only cause more trouble. Besides, everyone here needs protection."

Yana thought to herself, if anyone in this Elf Empire could sense her Dark Elf aura, it could only be the Saintess Mulan of the Temple of Nature. But her master clearly knew this.

When Yana looked at Duoduo, she saw him wink at her, and she was momentarily stunned. Then she realized that Duoduo had kept her here because of a magical connection between them. If something happened here, Duoduo would sense it, which was much faster than tipping them off.

"Yes, Master," Yana bowed. Duoduo

smiled coldly. He glanced at Maria and the others and said, "If they're not obedient, don't be polite!"

Then, following the method Professor Zhang had given him, he made several hand gestures. The old carpenter, a soul puppet not far away, hadn't been looking this way, but as soon as Duoduo finished making the gestures, he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and walked to Duoduo's side: "Master," the old carpenter said respectfully.

Maria saw this scene, and her heart ached. Oh God, what had happened to her father? What kind of bizarre magic had these bastards cast on her?

Unfortunately, she was barely able to protect herself at this moment, let alone investigate the details. Rescuing her father would have to wait for an opportunity later… To make things easier, Duoduo transformed into a beautiful elf shortly after entering the forest and changed into the clothes Lucy had brought.

Lucy gently straightened Duoduo's clothes, saying in a gentle, almost admonishing tone, "You must be careful later." Her tenderness was truly like a wife's concern for her husband.

Duoduo couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If anyone should be the most careful, it was the defenseless Lucy, yet she only seemed to be giving him instructions. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and Duoduo gently hugged Lucy, saying, "My little princess, don't worry, I will be careful. I still have to be a prince consort! But you, you must never leave my side, understand?"

Lucy smiled and nodded. She said softly, "Even if you chase me away, I will never leave your side, never…"

A cool breeze blew. A cool breeze swept over him, clearing his mind and making him feel much more alert.

Looking at the dark forest ahead, like the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, a surge of domineering pride welled up within him. No matter how dangerous the path ahead, he would blast it to smithereens!

Dodo straightened his back, wearing the Sealed Magic Gauntlet on his left wrist and the Chastity Ring on his right. He hadn't been fully equipped like this in a long time. Better

safe than sorry! Dodo deeply believed in this saying.

The old carpenter led the way, the wandering spirit followed in the middle, and Dodo, arm in arm with Lucy, brought up the rear, advancing into the forest.

As they went deeper, Dodo was amazed by the old carpenter's strength. "Damn it, is this his true power?" he thought.

"Impressive!

Impressive!"

Dodo felt that the old carpenter was almost as good as him.

It's important to understand that anyone with consciousness and intention, even if they are incredibly focused on anything, will inevitably experience slight distractions as their mind wanders, making it impossible to maintain complete concentration. A clever person may have a wide range of knowledge, but their dedication to mastering a single subject may not match that of a seemingly foolish person, because only the truly single-minded can achieve complete focus.

Soul puppets possess this quality. When the old carpenter was lucid, he would inevitably have some reservations when fighting, his true abilities slightly diminished. However, as a soul puppet, he was single-minded, fearlessly disregarding life and death when obeying his master's orders. Therefore, soul puppets almost seemed to have unlocked their full potential.

The old carpenter's fist techniques were extremely powerful!

And his speed was astonishing; before the afterimage of his arms had even disappeared, he had already delivered at least a hundred punches.

Moreover, the force was overwhelming. Facing those arrows, a single punch would shatter them to pieces, while the energy beam would return along the arrow's trajectory, instantly killing the archer.

While this was incredibly powerful, it also created a tremendous amount of noise.

Trees struck by the energy from the punches, even if they didn't collapse immediately, would have large holes blasted into them.

Lucy, seeing this, felt a headache coming on. Committing such acts of nature destruction within the elven territory was a serious crime!

But turning to look at Dodo, she saw he seemed quite disapproving of the old carpenter's actions, and hesitated before saying nothing.

Deep in the forest, in a tent, Catherine, Duke Os, and Earl Campbell were chatting when they faintly heard a whooshing sound, followed by a slight tremor in the ground beneath their feet.

"Ah? What's happening!" Duke Os exclaimed, rushing out of the tent first to look in the direction of the sound.

Campbell followed closely behind, standing shoulder to shoulder with Duke Os, gazing into the distance, but saw nothing amiss, only the constant sounds and the incessant tremors of the ground.

Catherine brought up the rear, and after watching for a while, she clapped her hands, summoning two elven warriors and ordering them to investigate immediately.

Before the elven warriors could even set off, several archers who had been hidden along the road rushed over in a panic.

"Your Highness!" the leading warrior bowed and said, "Several deadly figures have arrived from the direction of Mandala City! My God, most of our companions hidden along the road are dead!"

"Who are they?" Earl Campbell asked in shock.

"Humans and elves, they're too powerful, too cruel!" the warrior said, his face pale and trembling.

"Damn it, in the end, some human experts have come because of the rumors," Duke Os said, frowning.

Upon hearing the warrior's words, Catherine's body trembled violently, and she asked coldly, "Do elves use magic?"

Earl Campbell replied, "Princess Catherine, are you confused? The only thing we elves can cultivate is magic."

Catherine ignored Campbell's words, instead staring intently at the elven warrior leader, and demanded, "Answer me!"

"It seems...it seems to be martial arts..."

the elven warrior hesitated. After Earl Campbell's words, even the warrior leader began to doubt his own eyes. Yes, elves can only use magic. Had he just seen wrong?

Catherine felt as if struck by lightning. The direction of Mandala City...elves possessing powerful martial arts...Heavens! Could there be another besides the demon who destroyed her?

A strong desire for revenge arose in Catherine's heart, along with a nightmarish fear. After all, the cruelty of that night had left an indelible shadow on her heart.

Catherine turned to look at Duke Os and Earl Campbell, desperately trying to drive away the fear in her heart. What was there to be afraid of! That night, she was trapped in her room by herself, but now she had a three-nation allied force behind her. Of course, she wasn't naive enough to think these people could kill that demon. She remembered how, back in the Dark Elf territory, it was his appearance that caused the elite extermination team from various nations to suffer a crushing defeat. "Ah! Are you mistaken?" Duke Os exclaimed in surprise at the elven warrior. He hadn't left the elven territory

, and the members of the extermination team who had seen Duo Duo back then hadn't mentioned it after returning home. After all, having their extermination plan ruined by a martial arts-skilled elf, resulting in heavy casualties, wasn't something to boast about. "He's right, such a being does exist!" Catherine said calmly.

"Oh my god! Elves can practice martial arts?" Campbell exclaimed.

"He's a devil!" A fierce hatred flashed in Catherine's eyes, making Duke Os and Earl Campbell sense that things weren't so simple.

A moment later, Catherine beckoned to one of her personal guards and ordered him to quickly summon experts from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire.

As the guard left, Duke Os and Earl Campbell asked, "Is it really that serious?"

Catherine replied, "It'll only be worse than we imagine!"

"Let's prepare," Catherine continued, turning and entering the tent first.

Duke Os and Earl Campbell exchanged glances and followed her into the tent. A moment later, the rustling of leaves filled the air, and a large number of elven warriors were deployed to intercept them.

Catherine deliberately placed the warriors of the other two empires at the forefront of the deployment, while relegating the warriors of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire to the rear. She understood that even the devil himself would break through the defenses, let alone now that he seemed to have powerful allies.

Let the warriors of the other empires serve as cannon fodder! Catherine secretly calculated her plan.

Duo Duo and the others advanced faster and faster. These past few days they had traversed either grasslands or forests, and Duo Duo was gradually getting used to it.

The wind blew through the forest, the leaves rustling, and a thick killing intent, like a biting cold wind, slowly permeated the forest.

"They're really going all out! Damn it, since you're not afraid of death, I'll grant your wish!" Duo Duo closed his eyes, sensing a large number of archers in the forest. He couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Dealing with the archers wave after wave earlier, while unfailingly effective, was truly too troublesome, making Duo Duo somewhat irritable.

Standing among the trees, Dodo impatiently looked ahead, slowly extending his left hand, clad in a sealing magic shield… “Come out!” Dodo roared. He activated the sealing magic shield.

A gigantic black skull appeared from a cloud of black mist, hovering and crackling among the trees. Each time it opened and closed its mouth, it spewed out countless fist-sized skulls, specifically seeking out living beings to devour their souls.

The elven warriors hidden in the treetops were terrified!

They had never seen such grotesque and bizarre magic, especially after the small skull successfully devoured the soul of an unsuspecting elven warrior; the other elven warriors began to panic.

Not far away, Catherine, Duke Os, and Earl Campbell stood side by side, gazing at everything that had happened.

“Heavens, necromancy? Not martial arts!” Earl Os exclaimed in shock.

“Yes, what vicious necromancy!” Earl Campbell said. Catherine was speechless. The sealing magic sheath itself had been lost in her hands, becoming a powerful weapon for this demon. Every time she thought of it, she felt a surge of frustration.

"I'll handle it!" Duke Os said softly, then took a longbow from a nearby warrior. Without even drawing an arrow, he silently chanted a spell, and an energy arrow radiating a milky-white light appeared between the bowstring.

Powerful light magic fluctuated violently around Duke Os's body, and the energy arrow grew increasingly bright and dazzling.

As an imperial nobleman, Duke Os was undoubtedly a man of genuine skill. He was indifferent to power and had little ambition, but he enjoyed exploring a wide range of knowledge, whether in the arts like music and painting, or in magical cultivation, ranking among the best in the Giant Tree Elf Empire.

Whoosh… When the light magic arrow in Duke Os's hand was fully charged, it shot out with a whooshing sound, the milky-white afterimage behind it like a dazzling shooting star.

A fist-sized skull was the first to encounter the Light Magic Arrow and instantly vanished, while the arrow itself was unimpeded and shot straight towards the massive black skull.

"Such powerful Light Magic!" The long-silent voice of Da Nian Zhang suddenly echoed in Duo Duo's mind.

Seeing the power of the Light Arrow, Duo Duo was unsure if the skull could withstand such an attack. Hearing Da Nian Zhang's voice, he hurriedly asked, "Can the skull withstand such an attack?"

Da Nian Zhang replied, "It's difficult. These are two opposing energies, and that Light Magic is at least at the level of a Magister. I think you should quickly retrieve the skull and switch to the monster. That monster is capable of withstanding such Light Magic, and it'll be a good opportunity to severely injure it, reducing its own magic power. That way, you can control it. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

" Zhang told Duo Duo that the original monster inside the Sealed Magic Set had accumulated too much magic power and was about to go out of control. Duo Duo hadn't used it since, which was why he felt so annoyed using the Sealed Magic Set. Hearing this from Zhang, Duo Duo's face lit up with joy. Without hesitation, he raised his hands and summoned the skull, then released the monster.

From a thick black mist, the ferocious monster roared and appeared, reluctantly facing the magic arrow under Duo Duo's full force. It seemed Zhang was right; the monster was indeed about to go out of control. Duo Duo was struggling to control it, his hand wearing the Sealed Magic Set aching slightly.

Under Duo Duo's intense control, the huge black skull flew rapidly towards him, while the monster moved behind it to meet the arrow of light.

Awooo!

The monster let out a mournful horn as its massive body collided with the Arrow of Light. The black mist surrounding it thinned considerably, and its form visibly shrank. The Arrow of Light vanished without a trace.

This outcome was an unexpected bonus for Duo Duo, but such an attack could only be met once.

If it happened two or three more times, the monster would likely be completely destroyed!

Duo Duo's ranged combat, relying on the Sealed Magic Set, had been going extremely well, but the appearance of Duke Os and the others turned the tide. Currently, Duo Duo preferred close combat.

"My little princess, you and the Wandering Soul stay here!" Duo Duo whispered.

"No, I want to go with you," Lucy said reluctantly.

"My darling, wait for me, wait for me to pave the way home for my little princess..." Duo Duo said softly, then instructed the Wandering Soul to protect Lucy while he and the Soul Puppet Old Carpenter darted forward like lightning.

Lucy stood rooted to the spot, looking around but seeing no elven warriors in sight. Having lived in the inner palace during her time in the elven empire, she was not interested in outside politics and, aside from the attire of her own country's warriors, knew little about other nations. Regarding

the elven warrior captured by Dodo, Lucy only knew he wasn't from her own country, but didn't know which nation he belonged to.

Therefore, although she knew her opponent was an archel, Lucy dared not shout rashly. If he were from another country, she, as a princess, would have little standing, especially after fleeing the empire and abandoning her dream of becoming a saint. Lucy could imagine becoming a laughingstock among the nobles of other nations.

The Wandering Soul protected Lucy with utmost care. She knew that if Lucy were harmed while she was by her side, Dodo would go mad.

Under the Wandering Soul's full power, necromantic magic and death aura emanated from her body, condensing into two giant serpent-like currents that swirled around her and Lucy, defending against any external attacks.

Dodo, like a red meteor radiating a dazzling halo of Nine Yang energy, streaked through the forest. Trees he struck crashed down, carving a straight path through them.

As the trees fell, the survivors hidden in the canopy were forced to leap down, unleashing a hail of arrows at Dodo.

The old carpenter followed behind, specifically to deflect the arrows. Though the arrows rained down, the old carpenter's defenses were impenetrable, making Dodo even more grateful to Da Nian. Zhang had actually provided him with such a useful servant.

"Such a powerful aura!" Duke Os, having released such an arrow, was nearly depleted of his magic power and was currently recovering. Seeing Dodo charging towards him like a demon god, he felt an immense pressure even from a distance.

"Damn it, it really is battle aura! Elves can actually cultivate battle aura! And it's so powerful!" Earl Campbell, like everyone else, mistook Dodo's Nine Yang energy for a magical battle aura.

Chapter 485 Long-lost relatives

Catherine's eyes flashed with hatred. Seeing her nemesis, who had destroyed her, right before her, she wanted nothing more than to rush forward, tear him to pieces, and drink his blood!

Unfortunately, despite her recent rapid increase in magical cultivation, the shadow of her past nightmares prevented her from facing this powerful demon.

She turned to Duke Os and Duke Campbell, saying, "How do we deal with him?"

Duke Os asked doubtfully, "Is there some misunderstanding between us? He's also a Great Elf; there's no need for him to oppose us."

Catherine said coldly, "The corpses of my men are right before our eyes. Don't you believe the truth?"

Duke Os and Earl Campbell only knew that Catherine had imprisoned the caravan, but they didn't know that she had simultaneously set up an ambush ahead. Catherine had kept all of this a secret from them. Now, with her changed status, Catherine had become somewhat headstrong in everything she did. If she believed it was right, if she wanted to do it, she would never care about anyone else's opinion.

When an elven warrior was smashed to pieces by Dodo, his flesh and blood flying everywhere...

Duke Os, no longer caring about any misunderstandings, quickly glanced at Earl Campbell and said, "Let's hold him off together!"

Earl Campbell nodded, his eyes flashing with a yellow light, his lips moving rapidly as he chanted a series of obscure incantations.

The ground began to tremble violently, the soil shifting and churning. As an earth mage, Campbell's magical power, though not as high as Duke Os', was still far more potent than light magic in terms of sheer attack power. "Mountain Collapse

and Earth Shattering !" As the incantation ended with a strange note, Earl Campbell raised his arms and shouted. Instantly, countless massive cracks appeared in the ground, from which countless rocks rained down on Duo Duo. The power of the advanced magic was immense; seeing countless boulders hurtling towards him, Duo Duo, who had never witnessed such a scene before, couldn't help but feel a little panicked. "Tsk tsk... your opponent is quite powerful, a high-level mage. A near-magician..." Da Nian. Zhang said. Duo Duo cursed angrily, "You old lecher, you're gloating!" "Kid, see that? That's the power of a mage, incredibly powerful in ranged combat!" Zhang said. "Heh... powerful in ranged combat? Well, I'll take a few hits and go for close combat, smashing their heads one by one!" Duo Duo said viciously. Looking at the rocks hurtling towards him, a sinister determination flashed in Duo Duo's eyes. At the same time, Duke Os's magic power had recovered to about 70-80%, enough to coordinate with Earl Campbell to attack Duo Duo. As the incantation was chanted, a dazzling halo like the sun appeared above Duke Os's head. He held the halo in his hands, about to unleash the strongest magic attack he could use at this moment. Just as the milky white ball of light magic was about to leave his hands, a clear voice suddenly came from afar: "Uncle Os, Uncle Os... I'm Lucy, I'm Lucy..." Duke Os suddenly trembled and looked urgently in the direction of the voice. Seeing Lucy from afar, he stood there gracefully, waving excitedly at her. In truth, Lucy had been a great help to Duo Duo. Although Duo Duo had considerable combat experience, this was his first time directly confronting a mage of this level. Leaving aside the difference in strength, their experience was vastly different. Just now, Duke Os's light magic had illuminated a large area, allowing Lucy to see him and quickly greet him. "Princess Lucy, is that you?" Duke Os asked excitedly. In the Giant Tree Elf Empire, Duke Os belonged to the royal bloodline. Although there was no direct blood relation, he was Lucy's distant uncle. Despite his lack of power, Duke Os adored this innocent, adorable, and guileless girl. Their relationship was even closer than that of their closest relatives. Duke Os was undoubtedly one of the people most worried about Lucy's departure. For so long, he had never stopped sending people to inquire about Lucy's whereabouts, but due to his busy political affairs, he could not leave the Elf Empire without the king's permission. In this environment, in this scene, Duke Os unexpectedly saw little Lucy, which filled him with immense joy. When he confirmed it was indeed Lucy, when he saw her running towards him with a beaming smile, Duke Os raised his hands... Boom! A loud bang, and a milky-white ball of magical light exploded in mid-air, illuminating the forest as if it were daytime. "Stop!" Duke Os shouted, fearing the chaos would harm little Lucy. When Lucy called out to Duke Os, Duo Duo heard it too. As he prepared to retaliate, he caught a glimpse of Lucy excitedly running towards the powerful middle-aged elf, calling him "Uncle," and immediately understood what was happening. Hearing Duke Os shout "Stop!", Duo Duo quickly dodged a wave of rock attacks, his eyes fixed on Lucy with concern, afraid the little girl might be accidentally injured. "Count Campbell, halt the attack for now, our princess has arrived!" Duke Os hurriedly said to Campbell. Campbell was taken aback, somewhat puzzled as to why the princess of the Giant Tree Elf Empire would suddenly appear here. Could she be the rumored little princess who abandoned her sainthood and ran away from home? "Uncle Os, I'm so happy to see you!" Lucy hugged Duke Os's arm, her eyes slightly red. After being away from home for so long, she had finally seen a relative, and one she was usually closest to. Lucy was overjoyed and almost burst into tears. "Praise be to the Goddess of Nature! Am I dreaming? My princess, you've really returned?" Duke Os's hand trembled slightly as he stroked Lucy's head, his voice trembling. "Yes, yes, Uncle Os, Lucy has really returned, standing right before you," Lucy said, choking back tears. "Princess, where have you been all this time? Let Uncle Os take a good look at you. Oh, you've grown taller, my princess is a young lady now," Duke Os said with a smile. “Uncle Oss, you’re getting old.” Lucy wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corner of her eyes and said with a smile. Then, Lucy turned her head and called out to Toto in the distance, “What are you standing there for? Come on over.”

"What's your relationship with him?" Duke Os suddenly realized that Lucy had actually come with that incredibly powerful elf, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

At this moment, Dodo realized that the fierce battle had just passed, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over with the wandering spirit.

Faced with Duke Os's question, Lucy lowered her head shyly and changed the subject, saying, "Uncle Os, do you think he's alright?"

Duke Os, being an experienced man, could easily guess Lucy's relationship with Dodo when he saw her inexplicably shy appearance. He paused for a moment, then laughed heartily, saying, "My princess has really matured, haha..." "Uncle Os, don't embarrass me!" Lucy said coquettishly.

Duke Os and Lucy's long-awaited reunion led them to overlook Catherine and Earl Campbell, especially Catherine. When she saw Dodo getting closer, her eyes almost blazed with anger.

Catherine stared coldly at Dodo, her fists clenched tightly beneath her, her mind frantically searching for a way to deal with him.

Damn it, this devil has actually gotten involved with that good-for-nothing princess of the Giant Tree Empire!

What to do?

Catherine took a slight step back. As Duoduo drew closer, that painful night resurfaced in her mind.

Duoduo also glanced at Catherine as he approached.

Although he hated this arrogant woman, he couldn't deny that Catherine's standard, voluptuous figure had given him a very pleasant feeling.

Duoduo clearly saw the murderous intent in Catherine's eyes, but he didn't care. Since things had already developed to this point, he would just take it one step at a time. It was obvious that Lucy and that man had a very close relationship, and he didn't want to put Lucy in a difficult position at this time.

Of course, not taking the initiative didn't mean he wouldn't fight back!

If Catherine dared to play any tricks, he would teach her a lesson!

"Oh, dear Earl Campbell, Princess Catherine, let me introduce you to the most beautiful little princess of our Giant Tree Empire! Hehe, I'm so happy I forgot my basic manners, I'm so sorry!" Duke Os said excitedly. (

Chapter 486: Love Me , Love

My Dog) Although a large part of the royal family in the Giant Tree Elf Empire considered Lucy a disgrace, in Duke Os's eyes, Lucy was a brave girl who dared to pursue the life she loved. Such a girl was not a disgrace, but his pride!

At this moment, Lucy was still under a magical cover, not her true appearance. She looked at most cute and charming, but far from being the most beautiful. Earl Campbell greeted her politely, and after a moment's hesitation, Catherine also stepped forward and gave a perfunctory reply, her attitude somewhat cold.

It seems the Giant Tree Elf Empire won't fight that devil anymore, and Earl Campbell seems to have a good relationship with Duke Os. Whether he can help her in the future is another matter. For now, she can only suppress her anger and wait for reinforcements from the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire.

As Catherine approached, Duo Duo secretly glanced at her. When he saw Catherine meeting his gaze with furious eyes, Duo Duo licked his lips suggestively… Catherine was immediately filled with shame, her body trembling uncontrollably. The scene of that nightmarish night resurfaced in her mind.

Damn devil! What evil methods did he use on her? She had to force him to lift that evil restriction, otherwise, her life would be forever tragic.

"Duke Os, it seems that the one who caused our allied forces' heavy casualties was actually a friend of your princess. I wonder how you intend to deal with this matter?" Catherine deliberately avoided Duo Duo's gaze and asked Duke Os coldly.

"Ah? Oh..." Duke Os paused, a headache creeping over him. This was indeed a difficult problem to solve. The young man before him was the princess's beloved. Yet, it was he who had caused such heavy casualties among the elven warriors.

"Tch. We encountered many ambushers along the way, launching random attacks to kill us! Under such circumstances, of course we had to defend ourselves!" Lucy pouted.

"Ambushers? Oh, my princess. Who dared to ambush you? Good heavens, let Uncle Os check if you're alright!" Duke Os exclaimed in surprise.

Lucy looked at Duoduo with affection and whispered, "If it weren't for him, your niece might have died under their arrows..."

In front of her elders, Lucy would seize any opportunity to flatter Duoduo, eagerly seeking their approval.

Catherine's heart skipped a beat. This had already been mentioned before. The decision to send men to ambush them along the way was her own; she hadn't consulted Duke Os or Earl Campbell. Normally, this wouldn't have been a big deal, but unfortunately, she encountered the princess of the Giant Tree Empire.

When Duke Os heard Lucy explain their encounter on the road, and that Lucy told him there was a surviving member in the rear camp, our usually mild-mannered duke was instantly enraged. He coldly sized up Catherine and asked, "Princess Catherine, I think the one who should explain is you!"

Earl Campbell was also somewhat surprised, but he remained silent. As a citizen of a third country, he wouldn't get involved in the affairs between Catherine and Duke Os; it wasn't his business, and he was happy to be an observer.

"I've already stated my reasons. Everything I did was simply to achieve my goal. You didn't object before!" Catherine said coldly.

Duke Oss loudly proclaimed, "We only raised no objection to your control of those caravans, but you didn't even suggest sending men to ambush them along the way!"

Catherine sneered, "If your princess wasn't among those coming, you certainly wouldn't deny that my plans were perfectly executed, would you?"

Duke Oss was speechless; a man who loved studying art, he wasn't particularly skilled with words. Duo Duo

gave a silent, cold laugh, then said earnestly, "Your Excellency Catherine, it's an honor to meet you. Here, I apologize for my actions, but you can't deny that my outrageous behavior was entirely a misunderstanding. To protect Princess Lucy, I had no choice but to take those measures."

Seeing Duo Duo's humble demeanor, as if he were a stranger, Catherine's heart bled. Kill him, she had to kill him!

"Yes, Uncle Oss, you don't know how dangerous the scene was! If he hadn't protected me in time, that sneak attack arrow would have pierced my chest!" Lucy exclaimed dramatically upon hearing Duo Duo's words, her little face showing lingering fear.

Duke Os looked at Lucy with heartache, then turned to her and said seriously, "Princess Catherine, things are clear now. It was all a misunderstanding, and I won't pursue your decision-making on your own. Of course, you don't need to pursue your friend's defensive actions either. It's a miracle that our princess is safe and sound. If she had been harmed by your excessive strategy, I think it would have escalated into a conflict between our nations!"

Duke Os's words were clear: the two incidents canceled each other out, as if nothing had happened.

Catherine was heartbroken. Almost all the soldiers involved in the attack were from her Heavenly Vine Empire, and now almost the entire army had been wiped out—a significant loss.

However, the accusation of a conflict between nations was too heavy. Even though Catherine's position in the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire was currently at its peak, she couldn't bear the blame for the time being. Reluctantly, Catherine made a decision: to let it go for now and wait for reinforcements from the Heavenly Vine Empire to arrive.

“Since Duke Os has said so, then I have no choice but to accept it,” Catherine said expressionlessly.

Suddenly!

Catherine's delicate body trembled violently, her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground, a blush inexplicably appearing on her cold, pretty face.

“Princess Catherine, are you alright?” Earl Campbell asked with concern.

“I'm fine, I'm fine… I'm feeling a little… a little unwell… I'll go back first…” Catherine said intermittently, turning and slowly walking towards the tent. Looking at her back, if one looked closely, one would be surprised to see that her legs were occasionally rubbing against each other as she walked… This sudden change surprised both Earl Campbell and Duke Os. Normally, given Catherine's personality, even if she accepted the conciliation proposal, she wouldn't give up so quickly. Could it be that some hidden ailment of hers had just flared up?

No one saw the wicked grin on Dodo's lips as he lowered his head. His thumb was clenched in his palm, and his pinky was gently rubbing a red mark on the chastity charm ring on his thumb… Damn it, little panda, being controlled by the chastity charm ring, the only outcome is that I'll play you to death!

After Catherine left, the atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Duke Oss's stern face regained its smile, and he chatted warmly with Lucy about how much he had missed her during their separation. At the same time, through Lucy's introduction, he had a friendly conversation with Dodo.

Dodo immediately felt a great liking for this middle-aged elf. Perhaps it was because he loved Lucy so much, but since Lucy and he were so close, Dodo naturally didn't treat him like an outsider.

"Young man, I am so grateful to you. Not only did you bring our princess back, but you also protected her safety! Please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to you again!" Duke Oss said to Dodo with a smile.

Before Duoduo could speak, Lucy blurted out, her face flushed, "Uncle Oss, don't thank him. Protecting me is what he should do!"

This was tantamount to formally telling Duke Oss about her relationship with Duoduo. Lucy was incredibly shy after saying this.

Duoduo smiled and said, "Yes, protecting Lucy is what I should do in my life..." His eyes were filled with love as he looked at Lucy.

Duke Oss laughed heartily, finding Duoduo incredibly satisfying. Not only was he handsome, but he also possessed terrifying strength. If only his background were better, he would be perfect!

"Who is this?" Duke Oss asked the old carpenter. He had witnessed the old carpenter's immense power when he and Duoduo rushed over together.

"This is my servant," Duoduo smiled faintly. Then, he pulled over the wandering soul beside him and said, "This is my woman..."

It was better to introduce her proactively than let Duke Oss ask.

Huh?

Duke Os paused, looking at Duo Duo and then at You Hun with surprise. You Hun felt a little embarrassed, though she was incredibly happy inside. This man was introducing her to others as his woman…

Chapter 487 Little Girl, I'll Play You to Death.

“Sister You Hun, this is Uncle Os. You should call him Uncle too.” Lucy affectionately pulled You Hun over.

Duke Os's mind was a little blank. Just who was this man the little princess had brought back?

Not only did he possess incredibly powerful martial arts skills beyond comprehension, but he also had such a formidable servant. Even more surprising was that he had such a beautiful and extraordinary woman by his side… However, Duke Os didn't care too much. A man, as long as he had the ability, it wasn't strange for him to have many women. His only worry was that Lucy had to be the first wife. Otherwise, it would be improper for a royal princess to be someone else's concubine.

“Uncle Os, let's go to the tent. Why are we talking here? I'm getting a little cold…” Lucy said.

"Oh, oh, I forgot, hehe, come on, let's go back to the tent and talk slowly!" Duke Os waved his hand and walked towards a tent first.

Dodo and the others followed behind, Dodo never letting up on rubbing the chastity ring... Inside Catherine's tent.

Catherine was enduring immense torment.

She leaned against the headboard, her body trembling slightly, her legs twisted together, rubbing forcefully, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, her pretty face flushed crimson.

"Your Highness, what...what's wrong?" A female elven guard, seeing Catherine's appearance, asked in alarm.

"Get out! Get out! Don't let anyone in! Get out!" Catherine shouted frantically.

The female elven guard shuddered in fright and quickly left the tent.

When only Catherine remained in the tent, she rolled over onto the bed, groaning in pain.

Heavens!

How could she endure such torment again, and this time so intensely!

In the past... as a mature woman... Although her first sexual experience wasn't perfect, her body had been awakened, and it was natural to have physiological needs. However, when she realized that her body had been placed under an evil spell by the devil, she shifted all her attention to the struggle for power. This shift proved very effective.

But Catherine hadn't expected that her long-dormant desires would suddenly resurface under those circumstances, more intense than ever before.

She felt an invisible hand caressing her most intimate area, teasing her body.

"Ah…" Catherine groaned. Then she covered her lower body with her palm through her clothes, rubbing it vigorously.

Although she longed to relieve the pain with her fingers, the intense pain from countless previous attempts made her hesitant to even consider it. "

Mmm… the devil… the devil… mmm…" Catherine gritted her teeth, her small hands rubbing her lower body, rolling around on the bed. Her carefully styled hair was now disheveled, and her once elegant clothes were wrinkled and crumpled from the rolling.

"What...what's wrong with me! It hurts so much...um..." Catherine mumbled incoherently, groaning...for a long time.

Only when Duo Duo, inside Duke Os's tent, stopped rubbing the chastity charm ring until his fingers ached did Catherine's ordeal finally end.

After such torment, Catherine looked incredibly haggard, her pretty face still flushed with desire, but she looked sickly.

She lay on the bed, breathing heavily, her hand still covering her lower body trembling violently. She looked as if she had been through a serious illness.

"Oh God, what's wrong with me?" Catherine thought, "How could this suddenly happen?"

Suddenly!

Catherine's eyes widened in shock. The devil! It must be that devil! Why did her body react so violently whenever he appeared?

When Duo Duo's image appeared in Catherine's mind, she couldn't help but recall that horrific night.

A shameful thought flashed through her mind: that kind of rape, though brutal, was still... still much more comfortable than the torture she had just endured... Immediately, Catherine dismissed the thought, clutching the sheets, her eyes flashing with resentment.

"Uncle Oss, how is my father?" Lucy asked.

Duke Os sighed softly and said, "You know, your father's health has never been good. After what happened to you, he's become even weaker. If it weren't for the temple's saintess maintaining his health, I'm really worried he wouldn't be able to hold on."

Lucy's face darkened, and a look of sadness flickered in her eyes. She said softly, "It's all my fault for being too willful..."

Hearing this from the side, Duo Duo thought to herself, "Damn it, if you hadn't been so willful, where would I have found such a good woman like you?

" "Your Highness, are you still blaming His Majesty the King?" Duke Os asked.

"Father... Father promised me that after Mother's death, he wouldn't remarry, but... but she broke her promise, and because I'm in her way, she's sending me to the temple to become a saintess!" Lucy became somewhat agitated as she mentioned this.

Duo Duo was momentarily stunned; it seemed there were some hidden secrets she didn't know.

Duke Os sighed, “Lucy, you don’t understand your father’s heart at all… His health is poor, and as you know, your brother inherited his wisdom, but also his frail constitution. Do you know how much the other members of the royal family covet the throne? How long can two sickly people sit on this throne? If something unexpected happens, do you think you, the princess, will be able to avoid being bullied by those people? Under such circumstances, a second marriage and the establishment of a queen are inevitable. If the bloodline can be continued, and you have a younger brother to speak for you, at least you will have a support system and a close relative in the future!”

Duo Duo understood somewhat, but the complexity of the situation still made him secretly gasp. Good heavens, the affairs within the royal family are truly a mess!

“Did my father say all of this?” Lucy’s eyes glistened with tears.

“Yes, and he also consulted me. The establishment of a queen was also my suggestion!” Duke Os said softly.

Tears streamed silently down Lucy's pretty face. She blamed herself for her impulsiveness in running away from home without understanding the reasons behind her actions.

"But why did he insist on sending me to the temple to be a saintess? Wouldn't it be better if I stayed by his side forever?" Lucy said through her tears.

"Do you think being a saintess is so easy? Every time I told you before, you would absentmindedly slip away. Now I'm telling you, being a saintess requires talent and being chosen by the Goddess of Nature. You should know the supreme status of the Temple of Nature in our elven territory. It was your luck that you gained the favor of the Goddess of Nature. If you become a saintess, who would dare to disrespect you in the slightest? If your father's illness worsens, he will naturally be able to leave in peace..." Duke Os said sorrowfully.

"Waaah..." Lucy burst into tears, hugging Duke Os and sobbing, "Uncle Os, why didn't you tell me all this! Why didn't you tell me all this!..."

Duke Os smiled bitterly, "How could I tell you? When I wanted to find you, you were already gone..." He continued, "Your departure was a huge blow to your father, you know? After you left, your father never saw Her Majesty the Queen again, and he blamed himself every day. Actually, Her Majesty the Queen was a kind woman, you know that, you understand how much she wanted to get close to you, to please you..." "Don't say it, don't say it! I... I'll go back with you now and repent before my father..." Lucy cried loudly.

Dodo looked somewhat depressed. He stepped forward and said softly, "My little princess, don't cry anymore. Since you know you were wrong, let's make amends in the future, okay? Little princess, think about it, it's all fate. If these things hadn't happened, would we have met?" "Waaah... Who told you to bully me, you scoundrel..." Lucy cried and complained.

Dodo couldn't help but smile wryly at Duke Os. Duke Os patted Dodo's shoulder and said to Lucy, "Look, you just said you wouldn't be willful anymore, but now you're doing it again. Dodo's right, it's all fate. If nothing had happened, how could you have brought back such an outstanding young man? I think your father would be very pleased." Dodo was secretly thrilled!

Being praised felt so damn good!

On the surface, Dodo smiled modestly, but inside he was overjoyed.

"Waaah... Uncle Os, let's go back quickly!" Lucy said, choking back tears.

Duke Os said, "Alright, I'll instruct my men to begin preparations. After I've settled things here, I'll take you back to the Giant Tree Empire." After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with Duke Os, Dodo, and Youhun, he turned and left the tent, excitedly going to prepare.

Only Dodo and Youhun remained in the tent. With Duke

Os

gone, Dodo felt more at ease; otherwise, even if she was putting on an act in front of an elder, she should at least pretend to be a good person for a while.

"Still crying? My little princess..." Dodo walked to Lucy's side, smiling as she wiped away her tears, saying, "Don't cry anymore, or Youhun and I will laugh at you."

"I'm sad," Lucy said sadly. "

If you're sad, then when you go back, be even nicer to your father and make up for all the time you've missed," Dodo said softly.

Lucy stopped crying, gazing at Dodo, and said, "Then you have to make up for it with me!"

"Of course," Dodo nodded readily, saying, "I'm at least the prince consort, hehe..."

"Shameless! You haven't even become one yet!" "Lucy said coquettishly.

Seeing that they were really about to enter the Elf Empire, Duoduo also prepared to review his lessons, recall his thoughts, and then plan his specific actions.

He instructed the Wandering Soul to check the tent entrance, and after confirming that no one was coming in, he mysteriously pulled out several sheets of paper from his pocket.

Duoduo's memory was quite good; these sheets of paper were what he had drawn from memory during his free time that evening after deciding to leave the Half-Step Tavern. They were the treasure maps on the Wandering Soul, Alice, Linda, and Xiuzhen.

Although the lines were a bit stiff, the general routes were correct.

"What are you doing, being so mysterious!" Lucy asked curiously, leaning closer.

Duoduo chuckled and said, "You'll see when you look at them." "Saying this, she piled all the papers on the large table and tried to piece them together according to the connections in the map.

This was similar to a jigsaw puzzle. It wasn't difficult, but it wasn't easy either. The important thing was that after piecing them together, they discovered that the treasure map they currently possessed wasn't complete. It was clearly missing a part.

Damn it!

I thought it was all there!

Damn it, I don't know who made this treasure map, but it's divided into so many pieces. Isn't this obviously playing tricks on us... Duo Duo cursed inwardly.

When You Hun heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She never expected that her family would be destroyed by bad people because of this incomplete treasure map. She had thought her treasure map was complete. But after Duo Duo found so many that she didn't know about, there were still some missing parts.

Thinking about the conditions she had made with Duo Duo based on this treasure map, You Hun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"What exactly is this? A jigsaw puzzle?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Hmm, this map seems incomplete. How do we put it together?" "

Even Lucy can see that this map is incomplete, which shows how important a part of this treasure map is missing.

" "Yes, it's still incomplete!" Duoduo sighed, her face full of frustration. Damn it. The map she had gone to so much trouble to get was still incomplete. If it weren't for the beautiful woman she enjoyed while working on the map, this deal would have been a complete waste.

“But it’s okay, I think the Queen has a similar puzzle too, perfect! The one I saw looks like the one you’re missing…” Lucy’s mood instantly brightened as she was about to go home.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Dodo and Youhun exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide as they stared at Lucy.

Lucy paused, then said, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Lucy, are you sure you really saw it?” Dodo hugged Lucy tightly, asking urgently.

“Yes, the Queen invited me to her place for dinner to get to know me better. I accidentally saw it in one of her books, it seemed to be tucked inside. I didn’t know what it was at the time, but it turns out it’s a puzzle, right? Hehe, it’s a pity she only has that one piece, not as many as you guys, but we can play with it if we put them together…” Lucy said with a grin.

Dodo couldn’t describe his feelings at that moment. Haha, he finally understood what it meant to find something you’ve been searching for without even looking for it!

"Damn it, even the heavens are on my side! It seems that treasure is definitely mine!" Duo Duo was overjoyed.

"My little princess, can you help me get that part?" Duo Duo asked.

Lucy hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think so. That woman has always been trying to please me; she wouldn't refuse me this small favor, it's just a puzzle piece."

Duo Duo and You Hun were immediately delighted. Duo Duo didn't want to hide anything from Lucy, but this was a long story, and now was clearly not the time to tell her in detail. Hmm, once they reached the Giant Tree Elf Empire, he would definitely tell Lucy about the treasure map and the purpose of their visit.

At this moment, not only Duo Duo, but even Lucy hadn't expected that what they thought would be simple would be so difficult when they actually tried to do it… When Duke Os proposed leaving the Suman Mountains, Earl Campbell had clearly anticipated this and immediately agreed.

Surprisingly, Catherine remained silent, relaying all orders through guards within the tent. This attitude displeased Duke Os, but he didn't pursue the matter.

Since they were currently on a mission, Duke Os could only leave with his personal guard, leaving the troops from the Giant Tree Empire behind. He entrusted the important task to a trusted officer and secretly instructed him that he had the right to refuse any further orders from Catherine.

When Duke Os returned to the tent, Duoduo, Youhun, and Lucy were chatting and laughing.

"Our little princess can set off now! If all goes well, we'll arrive at the Giant Tree Empire by this time tomorrow," Duke Os said with a smile. Lucy said, "Uncle Os, we have to wait a bit. There are still some of our people in the forest..."

"Oh? Aren't there just the three of you? You have companions?" Duke Os asked, puzzled.

“No, we came with a caravan. We weren’t familiar with the route, but it was much easier with them.” Lucy kept her mouth shut, offering a friendly reassurance to Duke Os.

Duke Os nodded and said, “No wonder those hidden figures attacked you.”

“What exactly happened?” Lucy asked.

Duke Os glanced at Dodo and the Wanderer and said, “I’ll tell you the reason when I have the chance. However, the three empires within the elven territory have reached an agreement to temporarily suspend trade.” It seemed that Duke Os had taken some precautions against Dodo and the Wanderer.

Dodo smiled and said, "Wandering Soul, go and inform our people to come quickly. As for our friends in the caravan, inform them in advance that the Elven Empire has decided to suspend trade, so they don't need to go any further to avoid unnecessary trouble. Oh, and thank them. If it weren't for them leading the way, we wouldn't have been able to travel so smoothly."

Wandering Soul glanced at Dodo, already understanding his meaning. As she walked past Dodo, he said in a very fast and soft voice, "Tell them to find a place to camp and wait, and to be discreet!"

Wandering Soul remained expressionless and quickly left the tent.

Lucy laughed, "Uncle Oss, you'd better be prepared later."

"What preparation?" Duke Oss asked, startled.

"Ask that womanizer!" Lucy glared at Dodo and said.

Duke Os didn't understand Lucy's meaning at first, until Lucy laughed, "Uncle Os, you're too honest! What I meant was, all the women coming later are beauties, all women of that womanizer! Hmph."

Duke Os was taken aback, but didn't say anything, only chuckled a few times, secretly admiring his princess's magnanimity. He wondered what method this young man named Duoduo had used to make the princess so obedient.

A while later,

when the wandering spirit led Yana, Alice, Felicity, and Maria to the allied forces' camp, the appearance of this group of beauties immediately caused an uproar among the elven warriors.

The Great Elves were practically free of ugliness; the men were handsome, the women beautiful, and their standards for beauty were extremely high. However, seeing so many stunningly beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, was a first for them.

Even Duke Os and Earl Campbell, two nobles accustomed to grand occasions, were stunned for a moment, and when they recovered, they couldn't help but secretly envy Duoduo's boundless good fortune with women.

Dodo introduced them one by one, collectively referring to them as his women. When his sinister gaze swept over Alice, Maria, and Felicity, the three women had no choice but to cooperate, forcing smiles as they greeted Duke Os.

Meanwhile, Yana had already used her energy to completely conceal her dark elf aura. Although Duke Os was powerful, he was still somewhat inferior to Yana in level and couldn't see through her dark elf identity.

(Chapter 489: Crossing the Suman Mountains)

After bidding farewell to Earl Campbell once more, Duke Os led his guards, inviting Dodo and the others to head towards the Suman Mountains.

Because Duke Os hadn't anticipated this, he was unprepared, only offering Lucy his own luxurious carriage, which she refused, insisting on traveling with Dodo and the others. This gesture immediately earned him more favor from Yana and the Wandering Soul.

Looking at the majestic Suman Mountains in the distance, with their steep cliffs and towering primeval forests, the winding paths within seemed extremely difficult to traverse.

Duo Duo glanced at the empty luxury carriage in the back and couldn't help but marvel. "These nobles really love to show off!" he

thought. "Using a carriage on such a difficult road, I really don't know how such a large carriage manages to travel along those winding mountain roads."

What happened next forced Duo Duo to admit he was truly ignorant; there were so many things in this world he couldn't have imagined.

Unexpectedly,

the Great Elves had set up short-range magical teleportation arrays throughout the Suman Mountains, and the carriage even had the function of transmitting energy from the magic array crystals.

From the foot of the mountain to the summit, Duke Os familiarly searched for and activated the various magic arrays.

Once the carriage was placed in a magic array, the others only needed to surround it, and with the carriage transmitting magical energy, they could easily activate the teleportation array. It's no exaggeration to say that this seemingly extremely treacherous and difficult Suman Mountains was the most pleasant part of Duo Duo's journey so far; he barely walked, easily teleporting between magic arrays.

Before long, they had successfully crossed the Suman Mountain Gate. Standing at the foot of the mountain, on that wide road at the three-way intersection.

"Tsk tsk..." Duo Duo marveled at the wonder of magic once again, but unfortunately, magic was ultimately beyond his reach... "These magic circles are at least a thousand years old. Elven magic is indeed much more powerful than human magic!" Da Nian. Zhang also began to utter a series of praises in Duo Duo's mind.

Duo Duo laughed, "Old lecher, this is the first time I've heard you praise someone else's magic!"

Da Nian. Zhang said, "Kid, do you think I'm that arrogant? I'm the most humble and realistic person..."

Duo Duo opened his mouth, gagged twice, and said, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

Da Nian. Zhang chuckled, "What do you mean you haven't seen anyone? Look in the mirror and you'll see someone even more shameless than me!"

Duo Duo was speechless with anger and cursed, "Old lecher, are you provoking me?"

Da Nian. Zhang said, "Even if it is a provocation, it's not me. I learned it from your precious woman. Haven't you seen that little princess calling you shameless all the time?"

Duo Duo was immediately at a loss for words. Just as Duoduo was about to banter with Da Nian, he heard Lucy's call. Looking up, he saw that the group had changed direction and was heading towards the left fork in the road.

The road was wide and straight, with lush vegetation on both sides, a lush green that was very pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, every so often, there were inns and teahouses, clearly prepared for the human merchants who used to travel back and forth.

Unfortunately, the Elven Empire had now suspended trade, so these inns and teahouses were now very deserted, with few or no customers. Most of the owners and waiters were idly sunbathing outside.

When Duke Os's group passed by, they would greet them respectfully and offer words of blessing. In terms of politeness, Duoduo thought that the Great Elves were still much better than humans.

As Duoduo walked, admiring the scenery along the way and listening to Lucy's detailed descriptions of the local customs, he felt extremely comfortable.

After leaving Mandala City, the journey took them through sparsely populated forest paths. Suddenly entering the elven realm, they saw large elves dressed in various styles, and elven men and women working by the roadside. Everything felt new and exciting to Duo Duo.

"Fatty, we've entered the territory of the Giant Tree Elf Empire! Everything ahead is my territory, hee hee..." Lucy exclaimed excitedly.

"Oh, my precious little princess's territory? Your Highness, from now on I'll be relying on you for protection. My requirements are simple: plenty of meat and fish every day, and beautiful women to serve you in bed every night. Okay, I don't want repeats..." Duo Duo said with a mischievous grin.

"You! How can you be so shameless! Don't say things like that again. If others hear you, it will have a bad influence on you," Lucy said urgently.

Dodo smiled nonchalantly and said, "What does it matter if my influence is good or bad? As long as you don't mind, that's fine."

Lucy whispered, "Don't think all royalty are as kind and friendly as Uncle Os. Let me tell you, there are a few families that are the worst. They love to nitpick and even give my father a hard time."

"Huh? The king gets a hard time from them? Tsk tsk, my father-in-law is such a spineless king!" Dodo said mischievously.

Lucy said, "What do you know? Those families are hereditary lords with large and fertile territories. They are wealthy, have their own local armed forces, and wield considerable influence. Even my father has to give them some face."

"Weren't their territories granted by the king? Damn, what's so great about that? I'll teach them a lesson one by one." Dodo said shamelessly.

"You're just bragging!" Lucy laughed and scolded.

"Who's bragging? You won't believe me until we try!" Dodo said.

Lucy clung to Duo Duo's arm, pouting, "My man, my fatso, my big jerk... you have to promise me you won't cause trouble, okay? You have to give your Lucy some face..." Duo Duo felt a wave of pleasure wash over him; it was so comfortable. If there weren't so many people around, he would have loved to hold Lucy close and give her a good kiss.

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, alright?" Duo Duo said repeatedly. Lucy looked at Duo Duo seductively and said, "That's more like it. Be good,

be a good girl, and I'll reward you handsomely later."

The allure in her beautiful eyes made Duo Duo's heart flutter. He asked, "How will you reward me?"

Lucy rolled her eyes at Duo Duo, her pretty face flushed, and said, "You bad boy, you know the answer! I'm not telling you..."

Oh my god!

Lucy's mood improved dramatically after entering the Elf Empire, making her incredibly alluring. Especially after witnessing the mass sex in the pond, the girl seemed to have grasped the true meaning of womanhood overnight, exuding irresistible charm... The procession moved at a very fast pace.

Passing through several small cities, the procession received a warm welcome in each one.

Whether local officials or commoners, everyone showed utmost respect upon seeing Duke Os's banner.

Lucy said with some pride, "How about it? Uncle Os is popular, isn't he? You know, in the Giant Tree Elf Empire, besides my father, Uncle Os is the most beloved by the people. He's far more popular than those so-called direct royals." Duo Duo smiled and nodded on the

surface, but inwardly thought that such adoration for a duke might not be a good thing. If he genuinely served as a subject, that was fine; but if he harbored ambitions, it would be disastrous.

However, based on his interactions with Duke Os over the past two days, Duke Os didn't seem to be someone who harbored ambitions. There were only two possibilities: either Duke Os was truly a benevolent and righteous nobleman, or he was frighteningly cunning.

"Fatty, what are you thinking about?" Lucy asked, noticing that Duo Duo seemed lost in thought.

Duo Duo paused, then looked around for a moment before grinning mischievously, "I was thinking, why doesn't your Giant Tree Elf Empire have any beauties? Tsk tsk, none of them are as pretty as my little princess. If my little princess regained her original appearance, I bet all the flowers in your Elf Empire would wither from jealousy."

Lucy blushed, quite pleased with Duo Duo's flattering words, and said coquettishly, "You're all talk. Let me tell you, don't forget your promise to listen to me more often."

"Yes, ma'am!" Duo Duo said shamelessly.

"Who's your wife!" Lucy said shyly.

"Aren't you? Are you sure? Okay, then I'll shout right now who's my wife? Has anyone seen my wife?" Duo Duo said with a mischievous grin, making a move to shout.

Lucy glared at him and said angrily, "See if you dare to shout! Do you want to embarrass me to death? I'm ignoring you..."

Duo Duo chuckled and said, "If you don't want to talk to me, then don't. I'll talk to you..."

(Chapter 490: The Giant Tree Elf Empire)

Just as the two were joking, an elven warrior riding a unicorn galloped towards them from afar. After Duke Os received the king's decree brought by the warrior, he found Lucy and said, "Lucy, your father knows you've returned and has been restless in the palace. If it weren't for his frail health, he would have come here to greet you long ago."

Lucy asked anxiously, "Uncle Os, what was the decree the messenger conveyed?"

Duke Os smiled and said, "In short, hurry up and see his precious daughter as soon as possible..." After saying that, Duke Os turned around and shouted, "Speed up! Try to enter the capital before dark!"

Under Duke Os's orders, the pace quickened.

Duo Duo, forced to mount a unicorn, clumsily kept up with the gallop. Looking around, everyone—from Wandering Soul and Yana to Alice, Felicity, Maria, and even Lucy—was far more skilled riders than him. If it weren't for Duo Duo's powerful Nine Yang energy, he would have fallen countless times in such a short distance.

Fortunately, Duo Duo's riding skills were improving, preventing

him from making a complete fool of himself. Dust billowed and hooves thundered as the caravan raced towards the capital, Giant Tree City… Just as Duke Os had predicted, the caravan finally arrived outside Giant Tree City at dusk.

Duo Duo surveyed Giant Tree City, marveling at its grandeur. He lamented his limited experience, wondering which was more magnificent—the capital of the Elven Kingdom or the capital of the Human Empire. He resolved to travel there someday if given the chance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Three loud explosions rang out as three magical fireworks exploded in the sky, bursting into dazzling light. It was incredibly beautiful.

Then, the city gates swung open, revealing a wide red carpet that stretched endlessly into the distance.

There, a frail, elderly elf, dressed in magnificent robes, with a sickly face but an air of dignified composure, stood surrounded by servants in palace attire, looking at Lucy with intense emotion.

"Father!" Lucy cried out, leaping from her unicorn. She nearly fell, staggering a couple of times before rushing towards the old man.

"Lucy, my daughter, I've missed you so much!" the old man said, his voice trembling as he approached.

What followed was a heart-wrenching scene, moving everyone with the genuine affection between father and daughter.

Alice, in particular, felt a pang of sadness upon witnessing this, realizing how much less familial affection existed among the nobles of the human empire.

Lucy didn't introduce her father to Duo Duo outside the city.

Instead, she supported her father's arm and, surrounded by the crowd, entered Giant Tree City first. As she left, she turned back and gave Duo Duo an apologetic smile.

Duo Duo naturally didn't mind; after all, Lucy and her father had been separated for too long. Lucy was his, and there would be plenty of time in the future, so Duo Duo couldn't bear to deprive her of this precious time with her family.

When Duo Duo walked onto the red carpet, he suddenly felt an urge to laugh. He remembered seeing movie award ceremonies on TV in his previous life, where stars considered walking the red carpet an honor, vying to display their handsome and charming demeanor, hoping to win the audience's favor.

Unexpectedly, those things that seemed unattainable in his previous life were now coming to him one by one in this life, even including this red carpet… Duo Duo began to wonder if he should also give a smile back? Or strike a more impressive pose? Then, he was amused by his own childlike thoughts and almost burst out laughing.

In fact, without any fake smiles or boastful poses, Duoduo had already become the undisputed star of the red carpet.

His strikingly handsome face and strong, slender physique alone were enough to make the hearts of the elven maidens in the audience flutter.

But what truly made him stand out were the women around him. An elven man who could conquer so many beautiful human women—that was the envy of every elven man!

Those onlookers would find that after gazing at those women for a while, when they looked back at their own women, they felt utterly uninterested, even though their own women were clearly among the most beautiful elves. The red carpet stretched from the city gates to the palace gates, a considerable distance, taking a long time to cover. During this time, Duoduo certainly got to experience being a star.

To Duoduo's displeasure, they were stopped by guards at the palace gates.

A man who appeared to be an officer approached Duke Os, and after a brief whispered conversation, Duke Os smiled and nodded.

"Dodo, come with me to my manor tonight. I'll treat you to a welcome dinner," Duke Os said with a smile.

Dodo felt an urge to explode. What the hell did this little panda mean? He clearly didn't respect him!

Knowing his temper, he might really cause trouble, but remembering Lucy's instructions, he could only sigh deeply, suppress his anger, and nod to Duke Os with a smile.

Duke Os's manor wasn't far from the palace. Although the buildings were magnificent and tall, they looked very old, with mottled moss covering the walls.

Duke Os warmly led Dodo and the others into the manor. Upon entering , everyone was pleasantly surprised.

From the outside, the manor was at most magnificent, but otherwise quite ordinary. But upon entering, it felt like stepping into a hidden paradise. The front courtyard wasn't large, but its layout was ingenious. The vibrant green of the flowers and plants seemed to be arranged with the human eye in mind, giving one the feeling of being in nature. Especially when a gentle breeze blew, and Duo Duo closed her eyes, she could smell a faint, refreshing fragrance, and listen closely to hear the gentle murmur of water in the wind. What a magnificent ducal mansion!

To be honest, everyone present except Duo Duo was quite worldly, yet they all showed expressions of admiration.

Duo Duo looked around and thought to herself, this little courtyard is far superior to the gardens she had seen on television in her previous life. At least it's economical and beautiful, and feels pleasant—much better than those built with money.

"Gentlemen, please..." Duke Os said with a smile, clearly very confident in his design, and those who were behaving like this were probably not the first guests.

Duke Os led Dodo and the others into the main hall. The hall was simply furnished, with comfortable but not overly brightly colored sofas and antique yet beautiful tables. The most valuable item seemed to be the white shaggy carpet on the floor.

This simple arrangement created a grand and elegant atmosphere, and most importantly, it ensured that the guests would not feel constrained. It was clear that every detail was carefully considered and not haphazardly chosen.

Duke Os chuckled, "My place is rather shabby, please excuse me, haha. I don't usually think about this, but with you distinguished guests here today, I realize I really can't accommodate everyone."

Duo Duo laughed, "Your Grace, if this place is any more shabby, we really won't dare sit down." Duo Duo feigned an air of worldly experience, saying, "It's no exaggeration to say I've been to many noble residences, but yours is definitely the most comfortable I've ever felt."

Behind him, You Hun and Yana found it somewhat amusing; their host was probably only familiar with the wooden tables and chairs of the Half-Step Restaurant and the messy furnishings of the Six-Pointed Star.

Duke Os laughed heartily, exchanged a few more pleasantries with Duo Duo, then summoned a waiter and instructed him to prepare a simple family dinner that evening to introduce Duo Duo and his friends.

Meanwhile, Duo Duo was wondering what was going on with Lucy—why she had gone in but he had been kept out…

In the royal palace of the Giant Tree Elf Empire, Lucy and her father, the Giant Tree Emperor III, were engaged in a rather heated argument.

"Lucy, you've just returned and you're already upset with your father? Couldn't you let his excitement last a little longer?" the Giant Tree Emperor III said sadly.

Lucy's eyes reddened as she asked, "Father, I just want to ask you, why didn't you summon Dodo? They didn't come in; you must have blocked them, right? Why? I was so excited to introduce the man I love to you, but you…"

"Lucy, you were too young when you left. How could you distinguish between good and evil? The man you love, what is his background? Who knows if he harbors evil intentions? Lucy, why can't you understand your father's thoughts?" Emperor Tree III said in a deep voice. Lucy was speechless with anger. She couldn't possibly tell her father everything about how she met Duoduo, could she?

Chapter 491: In a place of right and wrong

, a half-elf waiter in a tavern possessed the miraculous ability to transform. The two met by chance, and after being raped, they developed feelings for each other?

This... this is too absurd... "Father, I thank you for your kindness, but please believe me, your daughter Lucy is no longer a child! I have my own eyes, my own heart. I can tell what is true and what is false, I can feel how much he loves me..." Lucy said sadly.

The Great Tree Emperor III sighed deeply and shook his head, saying, "My dear child, have you been bewitched outside? Go to the temple for two days of quiet meditation tomorrow, and let the Goddess of Nature restore your purest mind." "

I'm not going anywhere!" Lucy retorted angrily. Why was her father so unreasonable? It seemed all her words were in vain.

The Great Tree Emperor III looked at Lucy in astonishment. Why was his most obedient daughter now so fiercely retorting? His lips trembled slightly, and after a moment he said, "You are my daughter, and when I say no, it means no!"

Lucy said mournfully, "Father, you weren't like this before. You were so loving and reasonable. So when I realized how willful my departure was, and understood your good intentions, I regretted it and longed to come back and make amends for my mistakes. But I never expected this to be what awaits me. My dearest father is going to tear his daughter and the one she loves apart! If I had known this would happen, I would rather pray for you from afar forever than come back!"

The Great Tree Emperor III's pale lips trembled slightly as he gazed at Lucy, speechless for a long time. His daughter had truly grown up, able to so fiercely defend her love. But... why didn't she understand his predicament?

"Alas... since you insist on not listening to me, then I have no choice. Lucy, go, go see your brother. His illness is getting worse... after a while... you and your man should leave..." the Great Tree Emperor III sighed.

Lucy seemed unable to believe her ears. She stared intently at her father, a bitter smile on her face, and said, "My dear father, are you driving me away? Fine... since you don't want to see me anymore, I will leave with my man!"

With that, Lucy turned and walked quickly out of the hall towards her brother's palace.

Watching Lucy's retreating figure, the Great Tree Emperor III suddenly stood up. He seemed reluctant to let her go, wanting to stop her, but ultimately remained silent, slumping back into his chair and murmuring, "My dear daughter, become a free bird, spread your wings, and follow the eagle you love to pursue your own happiness. Go... go... leave this place of trouble..."

In Prince Simbala's palace, Lucy sat by the bed, sadly looking at her brother, who had become emaciated.

"Brother, Lucy is back. Aren't you going to take Lucy to fly kites?" Lucy murmured, tears streaming down her face.

The once handsome and dashing young man was now a skeleton, skin and bones. He bore no resemblance to his former self.

Dark circles under his eyes, blackened lips, and bulging veins on the back of his hands. It seemed that, as the Great Tree Emperor III had said, the prince was at his last gasp.

Lucy gripped her brother's hand, her mind replaying the wonderful times they had shared: flying kites, catching fish in the palace pond, watching him practice magic… everything felt as vivid as yesterday… Lucy sobbed uncontrollably, calling out her brother's name: "Simbara, wake up! Your father, your sister needs you, you know? Your sister has truly found a man who can tame her. Didn't you always pinch her nose and say that when you met a man who could tame me, you would arrange for me to marry him… Simbara, my brother, please wake up! Waaah…"

Suddenly!

Lucy's crying suddenly stopped, her eyes wide open as she looked at her brother on the bed. Just now, she had suddenly felt Simbala's hand gently squeeze hers.

"Brother, brother, can you hear me? Open your eyes and look at your sister. I'm a grown-up now," Lucy said with surprise.

Simbala's eyelids trembled weakly, as if he was trying his best to open them, but he was powerless. Tears slid down his cheeks. Lucy only felt his hand tightly gripping her small hand, though the force was very light, it was perhaps all the strength her brother could muster. Lucy

threw herself onto the bed, hugged her brother, and cried loudly... "Your Highness, you should leave now. His Highness needs the best rest to recover..." A middle-aged man approached and said respectfully.

"Who are you?" Lucy looked at the stranger through her tear-filled eyes.

"Your Highness, I am His Highness's attending physician. My name is Booker, and I come from the temple in the Giant Tree Forest..." the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Oh? You're from the temple? Then you can surely heal my brother, can't you? Please, you must heal my brother..." Lucy grasped at a straw, like all the great elves, she held a fanatical reverence for the Temple of Nature.

"I will, that's exactly what I'm after," Booker said. "However, please give His Highness some time to rest."

Lucy hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, I'll leave now." As Lucy prepared to leave, she felt her brother's hand pulling her tightly. She leaned down to the prince and said softly, "Brother, I'll come to see you every day. Get well soon, my dear brother."

After saying this, she gently pulled away from Simbala's hand, put his hand under the covers, turned and smiled at Booker before leaving the palace.

Booker's eyes were fixed on Lucy's retreating figure until she disappeared, his eyes suddenly flashing with a venomous light.

After leaving Simbala's palace, Lucy turned and gazed at her father's palace one last time, then resolutely walked out of the palace.

For some reason, the palace that had once given her endless warmth and joy now felt incredibly oppressive. She wanted to leave, to go to the man she loved; only there did she feel truly safe.

A breeze stirred.

Lucy's dress fluttered as she walked sadly across the wide square, her thin figure a heartbreaking sight.

Reaching the palace gates, Lucy asked the guards, "Where are all the people who were with me?"

"Your Highness, they were all taken away by Duke Os," the guard bowed.

Lucy smiled faintly. Uncle Os was the best; otherwise, if Duoduo felt neglected, with his bad temper, he would never let it go.

Lucy left the palace, heading confidently towards Duke Os's residence… Duoduo was overjoyed by Lucy's arrival, but when he hugged her tightly, he saw her swollen eyes and the tear stains on her face.

He was furious! He

was enraged!

Dodo swore countless times that he would never let Lucy cry again, though he repeatedly broke his vows and treated them like dirt. But that was only for himself; if anyone else made his little princess cry, he would definitely wring their head off. Damn it, this guy has the typical double standard – he's a hypocrite!

Duke Os arranged for them to stay in a secluded courtyard with gardens and pavilions, an extremely comfortable environment. The upstairs room, in particular, was far more luxurious than the main hall; it seemed Duke Os had prepared it especially for his distinguished guests.

Dodo picked up Lucy and carried her to the sofa, letting her sit in his lap. He said with concern, "Tell me, who bullied you! I'll go twist their head off! Damn it!"

Dodo's indignant expression warmed Lucy's heart, and she chuckled, saying, "Whoever bullies me, I have to twist their head off?"

Dodo had finally found a perfect opportunity to play the hero in front of his woman. He patted his chest and said, "Of course!"

Lucy laughed, "Then you'll twist your own head off first, and then twist my father's head off, is that what you mean?"

Dodo was immediately speechless with anger, and chuckled dryly, saying, "I need to use my head to think about how to be good to my woman, so I'll leave it for now. Your father's... hehe... I'll leave it for a while too, and I'll twist it off for you when I have the chance..."

"You fatso, I'll twist yours first! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll get mad at you!" Lucy sternly twisted Dodo's ear hard.

Dodo grimaced and said, "My little princess, I'm just going along with what you're saying. Would I really dare to pinch you?"

"You bad guy, you bastard, you scoundrel! I'll pinch you to death!" Lucy said through gritted teeth. Dodo

kept stomping his feet in pain, while Yana and Youhun giggled on the side, but no one came to help. Alice, Maria, and Felicity had never seen Dodo like this before, and they were dumbfounded, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Chapter 492 Tailor-Made Clothes

Lucy finally vented her frustration, then nestled obediently in Duo Duo's arms, gently blowing warm breath on her reddened ear, saying, "Baby, does it hurt? Did I hit too hard?"

Duo Duo was immediately at a loss for words, saying with a mournful face, "No, it doesn't hurt..."

Then, Duo Duo asked, "Baby, what happened?" "

I don't know, I really don't know, it seems like everything has changed..." Lucy murmured, "I'm so scared, I'm so scared..."

Looking at Lucy's appearance, Duo Duo felt a pang of heartache, hugged her tightly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you. Even if the sky falls, it'll hit me, the tall one, first..."

Lucy chuckled and said, "Why can't you be serious? Always so glib."

Duo Duo said mischievously, "Is this what you call being unserious? My goodness, what a sentimental confession! I thought you'd be moved to tears."

"Dream on! I've become immune to your words by now..." Lucy chuckled.

Dodo gently wiped away her tears and said, "Looks like I'll have to change my tactics...hehe..."

Though he said this, Dodo sensed that things weren't so simple, and even his goal seemed more difficult than he had imagined. What had happened in the palace of the Giant Tree Elf Empire?

"Tomorrow I'll take you to see my father, and my brother, he..." Lucy's heart sank at the thought of her brother, and tears welled up again.

Dodo quickly asked, "Baby, don't cry. Tell me. What happened?"

"I don't know. My brother used to be just weak, but this time he's come back so sick. I'm afraid he won't make it," Lucy said sadly.

Dodo was helpless. He wasn't a doctor. He couldn't help Lucy, even though he desperately wanted to share her burdens, he was ultimately powerless.

All he could do was gently coax Lucy and soothe her emotions; that was all.

Just then, footsteps sounded on the stairs.

A moment later, Duke Os stood at the door with a beaming smile. His eyes lit up when he saw Lucy. He exclaimed happily, "Lucy, when did you arrive?"

Lucy quickly got up from Duo Duo's arms, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Just arrived, Uncle Os, what have you been up to? I haven't even seen you yet."

Duke Os smiled and said, "Busy with the family dinner tonight. I'm preparing to introduce Duo Duo to all my friends. Hehe, you've come at the perfect time; it will truly be an honor tonight."

Hearing Duke Os's words, and recalling her experiences with her father, she realized that even her closest relatives couldn't offer as much warmth as an uncle.

"Uncle Os, I'll definitely attend tonight," Lucy said with a smile.

Duke Os squinted at Lucy and said, "I'll immediately hire the best tailor to make dresses for you and your friends. Hmm. If you pay several times the price, they can definitely finish them before the banquet."

Lucy said gratefully, "Uncle Os, thank you so much."

Duke Os frowned and smiled, "Little girl, when did you learn to be so polite with your Uncle Os? You weren't polite at all when you stole my paintbrush back then."

"Hehe... I've grown up." Lucy said shyly.

Duke Os laughed and turned to leave the room.

Duoduo laughed, "Your uncle is really good to you."

"You just realized? Although he's my distant uncle, he's much better than those blood relatives. Besides, Uncle Os's calligraphy, painting, and musical scores are famous throughout the entire elven territory. When I was little, I especially admired Uncle Os. Hehe, I even thought I would marry a man like him someday. I never expected to end up on your pirate ship..."

"Haha..." Yana and the Wanderer could no longer control themselves and burst into laughter.

Alice, Maria, and Felicity were truly amazed today. This cold-blooded devil had actually suffered repeated setbacks in front of them, making them unable to help but chuckle.

Alice was especially surprised; how could Lucy, such a young girl, possess such great charm? She had never noticed it before at the Half-Step Restaurant.

A short while later,

Duke Os arrived upstairs with several old elven tailors.

The old elven tailors skillfully took their measurements and asked them what styles they preferred.

Apart from Lucy, no one else was familiar with the clothing customs of the elven territory, so Lucy handled everything herself, designing for one person and then another, bustling about enthusiastically.

"Master, I... I don't really want to participate..." Yana said softly, somewhat embarrassed.

Dodo understood Yana's meaning. As the saintess of the Night Elf race, her people were constantly hunted by these Great Elves, forced to hide and live the most arduous lives. Now, she was to attend the banquet of these enemies, witnessing their extravagant and comfortable lifestyle. It was something she couldn't accept.

Dodo smiled and whispered, "Why not attend? Know your enemy, see how these guys are corrupt… Don't overthink it, understand?"

Yana could only accept Dodo's order.

A moment later, the old elven tailors finished taking measurements and memorizing Lucy's designs for everyone's clothing. Led by Duke Os, they left the small building to hurry and finish their work. After

Duke Os and the others left, Dodo approached Alice and suddenly stood before her, saying, "My slave girl, you must be very familiar with this kind of banquet, right?"

This was the first time Dodo had spoken so directly to Alice in a long time. She quickly replied, "Yes, Master."

Lucy was genuinely surprised by Alice's appearance, but Yana tactfully explained the situation to her. According to Yana, the reason Duo Duo treated Alice this way was because Alice had threatened to kill him and Lucy, leaving Duo Duo with no choice but to act against her… Furthermore, Alice hadn't been well-regarded by Lucy in the past, so Lucy didn't stop Duo Duo from doing these things. Besides, even if it was without reason, Lucy wouldn't interfere if Duo Duo wanted to do it.

Duo Duo glanced at Maria and Felicity and smiled, "Still not giving up?"

Maria and Felicity trembled but remained silent, their fear betraying their inner submission.

The allure of money was indeed powerful.

Several royal gowns actually arrived just before the banquet. It must be said, the tailors Duke Os hired were masters among masters; the gowns were not only perfectly made, but they also perfectly replicated the designs Lucy had described, even surpassing her descriptions in beauty.

Duo Duo wore a purple velvet elven men's evening gown, which accentuated his tall and well-proportioned figure. He looked incredibly dashing in it, drawing admiration from Lucy, whose pretty face was filled with pride.

Yana and the others wore gowns of similar styles, but with noticeable differences in details. Thus, even though the gowns were all the same, they looked fresh and unique on them.

The only drawback, and what Duo Duo found displeasing, was that the necklines of the elven gowns were ridiculously large.

Lucy, Youhun, and Felicity fared better; their proportionate figures didn't reveal anything amiss.

But Yana, Alice, and Maria were the epitome of voluptuous figures!

Her enormous breasts stretched the evening gown into two towering peaks, the deep cleavage enough to entice any man's gaze. "Damn it, isn't this just inciting crime?" He thought. "I bet after the banquet, countless men will be masturbating in bed." Duo Duo

walked up to Yana, Alice, and Maria, forcefully pulling up the neckline of her gown. While the neckline went up, the aesthetic was greatly diminished, making her look quite awkward.

Yana knew what Duo Duo meant and couldn't help but smirk.

Lucy, pulling Duo Duo's arm from behind, scolded, "What are you doing! They're dressed perfectly fine, why are you messing around?"

"What am I messing around? Damn, showing so much skin, isn't this inciting crime?" Duo Duo muttered.

The Wandering Soul laughed and said, "I'm really impressed with you, you even get jealous over something like this."

Lucy also laughed and said, "This is how elven evening wear is, everyone wears it like this, what are you afraid of? There's an undershirt underneath! What, do you think our figures aren't as good as Yana's?"
