Half-Step Multiple Desires Legend (Complete) - 34

Chapter 493 At the Duke's banquet,

Duo Duo chuckled, "I never said that breasts as small as a hand and breasts as large as a foot each have their own merits. I like them both, hehe..."

Lucy blushed and stepped forward to help Yana and the others straighten their evening gowns, which Duo Duo had wrinkled. She said coquettishly, "Then mind your own business, really..."

Duo Duo said, "Fine, I won't mind. I'll keep an eye on them tonight. If anyone keeps looking at your chests, I'll gouge out their eyes and use them as a football!"

The group laughed and joked, and before they knew it, the night had deepened, and the sounds of people outside began to fill the air.

A moment later, a servant respectfully announced from outside that the banquet had begun… Duoduo coughed twice, straightened his back, and adopted an extremely serious and solemn demeanor. Lucy, watching from the side, chuckled and said, “Is it really necessary? Are you nervous?”

“Damn, who’s nervous…” Duoduo’s face flushed slightly. He was genuinely nervous; he had never experienced anything like this before. He remembered watching those aristocratic banquets on television in his previous life, and they were all very elaborate. He was afraid he would lose face if he made a mistake.

“I’m telling you, today we’re all watching your performance. Don’t embarrass us beauties…” Lucy said.

“Don’t worry, who am I! It’s just a banquet…” Duoduo secretly encouraged himself and then walked out first.

The Duke’s mansion was already filled with guests.

Some were admiring the novel flowers that Duke Os had carefully cultivated in the courtyard, while others were drinking and chatting in the lavishly decorated hall.

Duke Os was currently in the courtyard, surrounded by three or five nobles, discussing his experience in flower arrangement. When he saw Duoduo and the others approaching from afar, he smiled and parted the crowd. He walked to the light at the entrance, clapped his hands vigorously, and said, "My esteemed friends, the banquet begins! Now, please welcome the protagonists of our banquet..."

With that, Duke Os quickly chanted a spell. A fist-sized, milky-white light appeared in his palm, then slowly flew above the heads of Duo Duo and the others. The milky-white light gradually expanded, forming a halo with a diameter of one meter, and soft light poured down, bathing Duo Duo and the others in it. Duo Duo and

his companions instantly became the center of the banquet, the focus of everyone's attention. A

handsome man and several women of breathtaking beauty. Such a combination was enough to dazzle anyone.

Especially when the halo arrived, Lucy suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly covered her face with the butterfly sleeves of her evening gown. When she lowered her arms, she had regained her true appearance. This change in appearance left the wandering spirits around her stunned.

Lucy chuckled and whispered, "What? This is my true appearance? If you don't quickly remove the magic concealment, I'll hold you back..."

To be honest, the wandering soul had also wondered. While Lucy's appearance was good, she paled in comparison to her and Yana's, yet Duo Duo favored her the most.

Now, she finally understood. Lucy was the most beautiful among them all.

In terms of looks, the women around Duo Duo were all beautiful in their own way. But none of them possessed Lucy's气质 (qi zhi, a kind of refined elegance or aura)—that dignified and unapproachable air.

Especially now, with Lucy in her evening gown, her usual mischievousness seemed to vanish. Every frown and smile was perfectly timed, making her the highlight among the women.

The wandering soul felt no jealousy; on the contrary, she was completely convinced.

"Oh my god, isn't that Princess Lucy...?"

"Yes, I heard she's back today."

"But who's that man with her?"

"I don't know, but those women are so beautiful, so sexy...tsk tsk...humans actually have such beautiful women? Damn it, even our elven women can't compare. I'm afraid only Princess Lucy can rival them."

Such discussions rose and fell, all the men's eyes were focused on the woman beside Duo Duo, while the noblewomen's eyes were fixed on Duo Duo with a strange look.

"Damn it, a bunch of perverts!" Duo Duo cursed inwardly. He was very unhappy with the men's gazes, but he didn't show anything unusual. His handsome face was filled with a gentlemanly smile, and he walked with extraordinary demeanor, appearing elegant and graceful. Damn it! It

's just acting ,

anyone can do that!

Duo Duo was very satisfied with his performance and looked at Lucy with a smug look, but he was surprised to see that Lucy had returned to her original appearance, and his eyes couldn't help but stare blankly.

Perhaps this was Duo Duo's only lapse in composure at the banquet, but what could he do? His little princess was just too beautiful.

Lucy looked at Duo Duo with a relieved smile. This fatso learned so quickly! He was staring intently at the nobles, mimicking their gestures, when they came downstairs, and now he was performing with such ease.

Duke Os warmly greeted them, leading them into the hall. He then walked to the head of the table and said, "Thank you, distinguished friends, for attending my banquet in Os. Here, I solemnly announce some good news: our most beautiful Princess Lucy has returned!"

The nobles below applauded enthusiastically. Duo Duo keenly noticed that several young men in the noble group were looking at him with hostility.

Damn it, don't treat me like a country bumpkin!

I've seen this old-fashioned drama on TV. Needless to say, these guys must have had feelings for Lucy before, and now they're unhappy that I've taken her for myself!

"Damn it, if you're not afraid of getting your testicles kicked out, then go ahead and be unhappy..." A cold glint appeared in Duo Duo's eyes as he defiantly met the gazes of the young men. At this moment, Duo Duo's heart was filled with fighting spirit. "Damn it, who is that guy! He's glaring at us!" said a somewhat thin, handsome elf man.

"Hilary, he's provoking us! A blatant provocation! A vulgar fellow!" echoed another, shorter elf man.

"Andri, why aren't you saying anything?" After speaking, the shorter youth turned to look at the tall, handsome man beside him, who was noticeably more robust than the other elves.

Andri smiled and said, "We'll talk after the introductions. Who knows what his relationship with Lucy is? Tsk tsk... I do like the women behind that man. Damn, such large breasts are rare on elf women!" Andri's eyes gleamed with lewdness as he sized up Yana, Maria, and Alice.

Hillary chuckled, "How enviable! If all those women belonged to us, we'd be having crazy sex parties every day."

After Duke Os announced Lucy's return, he was about to introduce Duo Duo when Lucy stopped him with a smile.

Duke Os immediately understood Lucy's meaning and stepped aside with a smile.

Lucy walked to Duo Duo's side, and under everyone's gaze, smiled and said, "I'll introduce my future husband..."

Boom!

The entire hall erupted in commotion!

Although the nobles had mostly guessed the relationship between Lucy and Duo Duo, Lucy's personal announcement still caused a stir.

A princess wasn't an ordinary person; even daughters of ordinary noble families couldn't arrange their own marriages, let alone a princess.

According to procedure, such news should at least be announced by His Majesty the King and then by the Royal Master of Ceremonies, informing the entire nation.

Lucy, oblivious to the nobles' questioning gazes, declared, "They are all my sisters, we belong to the same husband!"

Boom!

The uproar grew even louder… Just who was this elf?

Not only had she won the princess's heart, but she also possessed so many stunning women!

Damn it, comparisons are truly infuriating… Many nobles, who might have previously felt their lives were quite comfortable and fulfilling, suddenly felt their lives were utterly incomplete, practically gray, after seeing Duo Duo.

Duo Duo was somewhat displeased with Lucy's introduction. Damn it, Alice, Felicity, and Maria were clearly his female slaves! When did he give them equal status? It was far too lenient on them.

After her brief introduction, Lucy stepped aside, sweetly taking Duo Duo's arm.

Duke Os stepped forward and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, the banquet is about to begin! Music!"

Melodious dance music filled the spacious hall, filling it with a festive atmosphere. However, this harmony was merely superficial; countless people were consumed by envy, wishing they could kill this happy man with their eyes. The elderly nobles, having lost their competitive spirit, lamented their descendants' lack of such fortune, gathering in small groups to drink and chat, discussing why

Lucy

had acted unconventionally today.

Lucy smiled and walked down the steps with Duo Duo and the others into the main banquet hall, preparing to introduce Duo Duo to the nobles, quickly introducing her man to the elite circles of the Giant Tree Elf Empire… "This is Earl Lantian."

"This is Duke Susolami…"

Lucy introduced each noble to Duo Duo, who responded with utmost politeness. His gentlemanly demeanor, especially the sun-like smile on his handsome face, captivated the hearts of the watching noblewomen.

"Hmm, strange, this guy doesn't have any magical fluctuations at all!"

As Dodo approached Hillary, Hillary secretly sensed the energy fluctuations around Dodo and said curiously.

"Ha, as expected! I never thought our Princess Lucy would choose such a good-for-nothing..." Andri sneered. In their eyes, a high elf who couldn't use magic was definitely the worst of the worst.

"Hey, how about we each pick a woman? Let's see who can get to her first..." Andri grinned lewdly, his eyes constantly lingering on Yana.

"Great! Great! It's such a waste to give so many beautiful women to this good-for-nothing. Let's show them what real elite men are like, hehe..." Hillary chimed in.

This shameless suggestion immediately won the approval of several noble youths, and a moment later, they approached

Dodo. "Oh. My dear friend. Your Highness, is it really you who has returned? You are even more beautiful than before, your radiance makes the flowers of the Duke's mansion pale in comparison." Andri loudly flattered him.

Lucy glanced at the elven youths led by Andre with disgust and said indifferently, "This is Earl Andre."

Lucy's lukewarm attitude made Andre feel embarrassed. He chuckled twice and gave a gentlemanly bow, saying to Dodo, "Greetings, esteemed sir, I am Earl Andre. You may address me by my first name." Dodo

smiled and nodded, and to Lucy's astonishment, he also performed a perfect gentleman's bow.

Lucy couldn't help but be secretly amazed. Good heavens. Even if he had just learned it, how could he have learned it so quickly? This gentlemanly etiquette seems simple, but every detail is crucial. How...how could he perform it so perfectly?

She didn't notice the chastity charm ring on Dodo's right thumb.

This guy had the face of so many beautiful women on his shoulders; how could he dare to be careless?

At this moment, it was natural to request reinforcements. Don't forget, Da Nian? Zhang, that old lecher, was once the heartthrob of countless noblewomen in the court. He had seduced countless women into his bed, and for a time, he was extremely fond of court banquets. He was intimately familiar with court etiquette.

One was skilled, the other genuinely eager to learn, so whenever facing nobles, Zhang would meticulously explain the proper etiquette to Duo Duo. Duo Duo, naturally, learned it immediately. He wasn't stupid; when it came to something he wanted to learn, he was definitely among the smart ones.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Earl. You may also call me by my name, Duo Duo," Duo Duo said with a smile.

Duo Duo?

Andrei almost laughed out loud. What an idiotic name! How dare he introduce himself… Suddenly!

Duo Duo's smile froze, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.

While Andrei was talking to him, those bastards behind Andrei bypassed him and went to find the women behind him.

"Oh, beautiful lady, may I dance with you? Praise be to the goddess of nature, for I have encountered such a beautiful human woman... I am Viscount Hillary, you may call me by my name, Hillary." Hillary smiled obsequiously at the wandering soul, then struck what he thought was a very dashing pose.

The wandering soul looked at Hillary with disgust, but had to politely say, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know how to dance."

"Ah? How can such a noble and beautiful lady not know how to dance? Then allow me to teach you?" Hillary's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing that the wandering soul couldn't dance. He knew that teaching a woman such a court dance was definitely a good opportunity to grope her.

"Sorry, I have no interest in dancing..." the wandering soul said coldly.

Hillary was somewhat embarrassed, standing there with a dry laugh, watching his companion's progress.

At this time, those noble second-generation rich kids were choosing their targets, making harassing invitations. Yana and the wandering soul were still okay, at least their abilities were still intact, but Alice, Maria, and Felicity had already been restrained.

Dodo turned his head, coldly observing everything without uttering a word.

A chill permeated the hall; the ruthless killing intent sent shivers down the spines of anyone with life-or-death experience.

Lucy gripped Dodo's hand tightly, watching him nervously. She knew Dodo's temper best, and she knew that his women were his forbidden zone!

"What are you doing! Didn't you hear the ladies say they disagree? Why are you still arguing? Don't you have any aristocratic manners?!" Lucy, fearing Dodo would cause trouble, hurriedly went over and reprimanded the young nobles.

Hillary, having suffered a setback with Youhun, looked quite displeased. Now, being reprimanded by Lucy in front of everyone, he felt a surge of anger and embarrassment. He said, "Princess Lucy, the banquet is a place for dancing and socializing. Can't we find our own dance partners?" Dodo slowly walked over and stood beside Lucy. Lucy's heart pounded. She didn't want her first banquet back in the empire to become Dodo's battleground.

To his surprise, Toto suddenly smiled, walked to Hillary's side, and said with a grin, "Would you like to ask her to be your dance partner?"

Hillary saw this as a sign of Toto's cowardice and straightened up, saying, "Yes, sir, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"

Toto suddenly leaned close to his ear, and in that instant, Toto's face turned icy, and he whispered viciously, "Why don't you go find your mother!"

Hillary's face changed instantly, alternating between pale and flushed as she glared at Duoduo, angrily saying, "You... how can you be so vulgar?"

Duoduo innocently replied, "What did I do? Good heavens, does it mean that if I told you my woman can't dance and doesn't want to dance with you, it would be considered vulgar in your eyes?"

"You're talking nonsense! You clearly told me to go find... find..." Hillary's face flushed red, unable to utter the words no matter what. In her world, even when she was jealous, she always pretended to be very civilized, but today she had encountered someone like Duoduo, whom she had never met before.

The wandering soul beside Duoduo clearly heard Duoduo's words and almost burst out laughing. She dug her fingernail hard into her palm to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

"Ahem..." The wandering spirit coughed twice, then said calmly to Hillary, "Your Excellency, my husband just made it very clear to you. I really can't dance. Do you really want me to embarrass myself on the dance floor? I'm sorry, you've disappointed me greatly. I thought the nobles of the Great Elf race were all civilized and elegant, but I never expected that you would insult my husband for being vulgar when he said something perfectly normal. If I hadn't heard you, I might have been misled by your one-sided story. Then, I would have blamed my husband, and he would have felt very wronged..."

Hillary was completely stunned. He looked at the indignant wandering spirit and the innocent-looking Duo Duo, then after a moment, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

No one else had heard what Duo Duo had just whispered in Hillary's ear. Duo Duo and the wandering spirit's performance was so convincing; the two of them, working together, had deceived everyone. The elders began to sigh that the younger generation was becoming increasingly incompetent.

"Lashi, what are you doing! Come over here!" An elder approached, calling out to his family members. The young nobleman who had been pestering Felicity had no choice but to slink away.

Then, the elders present ordered their family members to apologize to Dodo and the others.

Finally, only Andrei remained by Dodo's side, without any way out. Watching his companions leave one by one, Andrei felt incredibly embarrassed and hated Dodo even more. Dodo

walked towards Andrei with a beaming smile, pondering how to properly provoke this idiot. Damn it, the best thing would be to force him to duel with him; then he'd either beat him to death or leave him half-dead!

(Chapter 495: The Mature Woman at the Banquet

) Just then,

a languid voice came over.

"Andrei, what are you doing?"

Looking in the direction of the voice, Dodo's eyes lit up. Wow, what a mature and beautiful woman!

She wasn't tall, but her figure was curvaceous and well-proportioned. If you weren't comparing her to others, you wouldn't notice her short stature at all; in fact, she would appear taller. Especially striking were her well-sized breasts, which jiggled slightly with every step. Judging by her appearance, this mature woman was definitely not wearing a bra.

He'd had his share of virginity!

But this was the first mature woman he'd encountered, and Duo Duo couldn't help but feel a surge of desire. His eyes were fixed on the woman, unblinking.

Andri, however, had never seen such a lewd look in Duo Duo's eyes. Like Duo Duo, his eyes lit up. The opportunity… had finally arrived.

"Oh, Mother, where were you just now? I didn't see you," Andri greeted her.

Mother?

Holy crap!

It's that bastard's mother… tsk tsk, she's really well-preserved; you'd never guess she had such a grown son.

A barely perceptible sneer crept across Duo Duo's lips. He could clearly feel the woman's gaze occasionally glancing at him, and in those fleeting moments, her eyes flashed with the lustful light Duo Duo knew all too well.

"Heh heh... you bastard, since you're after my woman, then sorry, I'll sleep with your mother! I'll be your cheap dad for once!" Duo Duo thought filthyly.

"Oh, my little Lucy, you're finally back! Let me see you..." After saying a few words to Andrei, the woman walked enthusiastically towards Lucy. She said she wanted to take a good look at Lucy, but her eyes kept glancing at Duo Duo.

"This is Duchess Martha," Lucy introduced with a smile.

"Duchess, this is my future husband, Duo Duo.

" Duo Duo? "Oh, what an interesting name..." Duchess Martha laughed heartily, her alluring breasts trembling captivatingly. Every smile and frown exuded charm; she was truly a masterpiece among mature women.

"Hello, Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you," Duo Duo said, bowing.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you too. Please forgive my rudeness just now," Duchess Martha said, her eyes fixed on Duo Duo.

In the noble circles of the Giant Tree Elf Empire, who didn't know Duchess Martha's fame?

Countless men had fallen at her feet. Moreover, she possessed social skills commensurate with her beauty; otherwise, it would have been impossible for Andri, at his age, to have attained such a high rank compared to his peers.

Looking into her eyes, Duo Duo suddenly became bold and said, "Your Excellency, may I ask you to dance?" "Damn it, I'm going all in. It all depends on Zhang's teaching ability and my own learning capacity!" Duo Duo added, "However..." "I'm not very good at dancing, so please don't laugh if I make a fool of myself, Madam. Shall we just dance the simplest kind?" Duchess Martha laughed and said to Toto, "Won't your ladies mind?" Lucy interjected, "No. It's his honor to have you personally teach him the steps. He's so clumsy; every time I have to teach him, my feet swell up for days." "Really?" "Duchess Martha exclaimed dramatically, 'Then I'll have to see just how stupid your husband really is…' With that, she extended her small hand to Duo Duo.

Duo Duo grasped Duchess Martha's small hand, giving it a slight squeeze. Their eyes met, a knowing, ambiguous connection forming between them.

Duchess Martha's small hand was soft and delicate; Duo Duo could hardly believe it belonged to a middle-aged woman. The skin, almost as smooth as milk, amazed Duo Duo.

The slow dance music began to play.

Seeing Duo Duo enter the dance floor first, the nobles who had been chatting nearby invited their partners to join them, and they began to dance slowly to the music." "Get moving!"

Lucy led Yana and the others to the side, each picking up a glass of sweet fruit wine and chatting with the ladies sitting together.

This infuriated Andrei! That bastard!

He wouldn't allow anyone to invite his woman, yet he invited someone else's mother… Andrei watched as Dodo's hand slowly moved across his mother's back, wanting nothing more than to rush over and magically kill this despicable fellow. Dodo,

peering through the crowd, keenly noticed Andrei's restless movements and hateful glares, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. "You little bastard, just you wait, the best is yet to come!"

"Duchess Martha, your dancing is wonderful..." Duo Duo said softly. This wasn't flattery; Duchess Martha was indeed a social butterfly. Her dance steps were skillful and superb. Under her guidance, Duo Duo had danced for so long without making any obvious mistakes. Duchess

Martha smiled radiantly, looking up at Duo Duo, and laughed, "You learn quickly. It seems Lucy was exaggerating a bit. You're not that clumsy..." Duo Duo laughed heartily, tightening his grip slightly, bringing Duchess Martha's body even closer to his. The two mounds of beautiful flesh against his skin felt incredibly comfortable.

A flicker of surprise crossed Duchess Martha's pretty face, but she quickly leaned closer, saying, "Aren't you afraid your wives will see?" Duo Duo chuckled and replied, "Even if they see, there's nothing they can do. They'll understand. I'm a normal man. If I were unmoved by a beautiful woman like you, that would be hypocritical..." Duchess Martha laughed, "You're quite the charmer. Did you manage to win over your wives with your words?" Duo Duo chuckled again, then suddenly leaned down and whispered in Duchess Martha's ear, "You're wrong. What truly conquers them isn't my mouth..." With that, Duo Duo boldly licked her earlobe.

Duchess Martha's body trembled. She looked up at Duo Duo and said, "You're so bold..." Duo Duo replied, "I'm not only bold, but I'm bold in other ways too." "Haha, you're so witty..." Under Duo Duo's repeated teasing, Duchess Martha found herself increasingly unable to resist.

Dodo keenly sensed the changes in her body and whispered, "Do you think I'm lying to you? I really want you to try, but I'm worried you won't be able to handle it..." "I won't be able to handle it?" Duchess Martha's face flushed slightly, her eyes gleaming with barely suppressed desire. She was a woman who had experienced many loves, and hadn't met many men, but Dodo was the first man as outstanding as her. If, as he implied, his skills in bed were also top-notch, then this man was truly one in a million.

"Duchess Martha, why don't you try it? You know, the first time I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you. Your charm instantly captivated me," Dodo whispered, boldly taking Duchess Martha's small hand and secretly guiding it to his lower body when no one was looking.

Duchess Martha's body trembled violently. Even through her clothes, she could feel the enormous size. Oh my god, she couldn't take it anymore. Her body went limp, and she felt as if she were hanging on Dodo's arm. "There are so many people here, and it's so chaotic right now. If we leave for a while, no one will notice..." Dodo further tempted her. "

Mmm..." Duchess Martha moaned softly as Dodo's large hand gently kneaded her soft buttocks.

"You audacious man, you'll kill me..." Duchess Martha whispered.

"My dear lady, I'm almost smitten with you..." Dodo tightened his grip, causing Duchess Martha's body to arch slightly.

"Please leave first, I'll sneak out to find you right away..." Dodo whispered.

Duchess Martha hesitated for a moment, unable to resist the allure of such a handsome man, and nodded. The two separated, and in the dim light of the dance floor, Duchess Martha gave Dodo a tender look before walking towards the back door unnoticed.

Dodo smiled slightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings, noticing Lucy and the others chatting happily.

Meanwhile, that bastard Andre was sitting in the corner, sulking and drinking heavily.

Dodo's eyes lit up, and an idea immediately formed.

He quickly walked towards Andre, then, as if passing by, lightly touched Andre's table with his foot. He glanced at Andre, then said as if in a hurry, "Sorry, I didn't mean to." Without waiting for Andre's reaction, he quickly walked towards the back door.

(Chapter 496: The Sexual Beauty)

Andre, his vision blurred with drunkenness, watched Dodo's retreating figure. Suddenly, he sat bolt upright, his eyes darting around the dance floor, but he couldn't see his mother anywhere. "

Damn it!"

Andre cursed under his breath, hurrying towards the back door.

But when he stepped out, he saw a wide garden outside, the shadows of the trees swaying in the night, but Dodo was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly!

He saw a glimpse of a garment around a corner and quickly walked in that direction… Duke Os's mansion had a front yard and a back yard, different from each other. The front yard was planted with rare flowers, while the back yard was mainly filled with shrubs.

Moreover, the back yard was many times larger than the front yard. As he walked, looking at the trees that were more than half a person tall on both sides, Duo Duo couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Damn it," he thought, "this is truly a perfect place for an affair!"

Looking around, Duo Duo couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He had only known that the back yard was a garden, but he hadn't expected it to be so big. Where was he going to find that charming duchess?

But he couldn't make a sound; it wouldn't be good if someone discovered him.

Although he knew Lucy and the others wouldn't blame him, he still had to save face for Lucy. If others saw this and spread the word that the princess's husband had cheated on her on their first dinner party, it would be Lucy who would be embarrassed.

Duo Duo pondered this as he searched everywhere.

As he rounded a corner, a hot body suddenly clung to him like an octopus, soft red lips meeting his.

"Ugh…you wretched man, why did you take so long? Are you trying to kill me…" Duchess Martha murmured, her voice thick with desire. Her hands were already inside Dodo's clothes, caressing his firm muscles.

Dodo couldn't help but chuckle; it seemed this mature woman had been holding back for a long time on the dance floor, all an act.

Not bad!

His first taste of a mature woman's beauty, and he'd encountered such a sex toy. His luck was truly extraordinary.

"You made me search so hard…" Dodo, abandoning all pretense, prepared to fully enjoy this feast.

He embraced Duchess Martha tightly, his lips and teeth responding forcefully to her passionate kisses, his large hands kneading her ample buttocks, searching for an opening in her clothes.

Damn it! This

damn evening gown, how am I supposed to get it off… Dodo cursed inwardly, unfamiliar with the dress. He frantically tried for a long time without making any progress.

In desperation, Duoduo simply picked up Duchess Martha and crawled into a nearby thicket. There was a small clump of grass between each circle of trees, which suited Duoduo well. He laid Duchess Martha down on the grass, rolled over, and pressed down on her, forcefully kneading her full breasts through her clothes. Just as he had expected, the woman wasn't wearing a bra. With each kneading, he clearly felt her nipples harden in his palm.

"No… um… wait… wait…" Duchess Martha seemed to remember something and suddenly struggled to speak.

Duoduo was a little puzzled, but he still temporarily released Duchess Martha, looking at her questioningly.

Duchess Martha was panting. She glared at Duoduo coquettishly and said, "You've wrinkled my evening gown. How am I supposed to go back and face everyone?"

Duoduo found it quite amusing; she actually remembered this at a time like this—she seemed quite experienced!

As the elegant evening gown left Duchess Martha's body, in the cool moonlight, Duoduo was momentarily stunned.

Normally, even with the best care, Duchess Martha's body would show the marks of time at her age. But there are always exceptions. This woman was undoubtedly a favorite of desire; her skin was as soft and white as a young girl's, radiating a jade-like glow in the moonlight.

Her breasts were round and full, like two tempting pears, trembling and teasing desire, without the slightest sagging, still proudly erect.

What amazed Duoduo most was that the rosy pink of her nipples was a color even some young girls lacked… *gulp*… Duoduo couldn't help but swallow, a surge of heat rising in her lower abdomen, her desire burning intensely, and a large tent proudly bulging in her lower body.

Duchess Martha was clearly pleased with the allure her body held for the man. She giggled and said, "Darling, didn't you say you weren't just bold?"

Toto gasped for breath and said, "You can come and see, but there are conditions if you want to be satisfied..."

"Greedy man, I've already done this much, what conditions do you still want?" Duchess Martha smiled seductively.

Toto grinned mischievously, "I can't tell you yet, do you want to see?"

Before the words were even finished, Duchess Martha pounced like a tigress. Her movements were practiced; without Toto moving, she quickly unbuttoned his dress and pulled down his trousers.

When the enormous member, long restrained by his trousers, sprang forth, a look of lust flashed in Duchess Martha's eyes, and the flames of desire began to burn fiercely in her bright eyes.

"My God, so thick and long..." Duchess Martha murmured, gently stroking the erect member.

The difference between elves and humans lies in their appearance. Elves are all handsome, with no ugly creatures among them. However, since heaven bestowed upon them beauty, it naturally takes something away. Physiology is the price for beauty. Elven men generally have average sexual function, and their genitals are not as thick or long as humans' on average. Even if there are a few exceptionally gifted individuals, they are still not on the same level as Duo Duo.

"My dear lady, I have conditions..." Duo Duo said with a wicked smile.

"What conditions?" Duchess Martha's eyes never left the enormous thing.

"I want to know how wonderful it feels for me with your little mouth." Duo Duo gently patted the back of Duchess Martha's head and said with a wicked smile.

"You're so naughty..." Duchess Martha said coquettishly with a charming smile. As she spoke, she grabbed the enormous thing with her hand and lowered her head to gently lick it with her little mouth.

It has to be said, this mature woman was truly a stunner in bed. Her tongue moved with incredible agility. As her tongue circled and licked the edge of the enormous tip of Duo Duo's lower body, Duo Duo couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Damn, that feels so good... Hehe... I wonder what that bastard would think if he saw his mother serving him like this?"

Duo Duo sneered. Even though Duchess Martha's mouth was skilled, unfortunately, the size she was dealing with was different. She had never encountered anything this big before.

She diligently licked Duo Duo's lower body, like a person who had been starving for a long time suddenly encountering the most delicious food.

Duo Duo sat on the grass, watching the woman earnestly serving his lower body, feeling the pleasure brought by her mouth and tongue, and couldn't help but feel secretly smug.

"Come closer, let me touch your big ass!" Duo Duo said crudely.

"Ugh..." Duchess Martha licked Duo Duo's lower body while moving her body, sticking her buttocks out next to Duo Duo.

"Smack..."

Duo Duo slapped her snow-white buttocks hard.

Mmm... Duchess Martha let out a soft moan as her buttocks trembled, seemingly unperturbed by Duo Duo's roughness.

Duo Duo looked up into the distance, thinking, "Damn it, can't that bastard hear me?" Smack,

smack, smack... Duo Duo slapped her several more times, leaving bright red handprints on Duchess Martha's snow-white buttocks.

Thump, thump, thump... The sound Duo Duo hoped to hear finally drifted over, the hurried footsteps proving the person's anxiety.

Duo Duo smiled inwardly, then thrust his finger in, and with a soft "plop," his entire index finger entered Duchess Martha's already aroused depths.

Ugh... Duchess Martha let out a soft moan, and Duo Duo's other hand seized the opportunity to press down hard on the back of her head. Caught off guard, his massive member penetrated even further, pressing against Duchess Martha's throat, causing her to gag.

"Don't spit it out!" Dodo hissed, the hand that had been inside her now consisting of two fingers, rhythmically thrusting in and out. "

Mmm..." Duchess Martha let out a series of muffled moans. Finally, she struggled free from Dodo's grasp, spitting out the massive member, its saliva-covered surface gleaming lewdly in the moonlight. "Give it to me

... I want it..." Duchess Martha eagerly grabbed Dodo's member, rising to sit on it. Suddenly, Dodo stopped resisting, his eyes seductively fixed on Duchess Martha. Just as her lower body was about to touch the massive member, about to eagerly allow it to penetrate her long-desired cavity, a furious shout rang out. "I'll kill you!" Andri finally arrived. He had appeared as Dodo had hoped. Seeing his mother so lewdly entangled with Dodo, shame and anger fueled his rage. He wasn't unaware of his mother's character; in fact, he was used to it. In the upper echelons of the Elven Empire, socialites like his mother were not uncommon, and his mother was clearly the cream of the crop. Andri understood perfectly well how much of what he possessed came from his mother—his status, his money… even the respect many people had for him stemmed from his mother's connections. Many nobles feared him because of his mother; after all, Duchess Martha associated with those of absolute power, and those of lower status were beneath her notice. Normally, with others, Andri might have turned a blind eye, but today, it was this very person who had just humiliated him. His initial jealousy of Dodo had morphed into resentment, and now into a furious rage! In the throes of this intense hatred, Andri didn't even have time to chant magic. Amidst Duchess Martha's gasp, he charged at Dodo bare-handed, wanting nothing more than to strangle him instantly. Duo Duo sneered, remaining motionless, and with a casual wave of his hand, a faint burst of Nine Yang energy shot towards Andri. Andri, who had rushed forward, was struck as if by a heavy punch. With a scream, he flew through the air and crashed heavily into the nearby bushes. "You old lecher, are you done?" Duo Duo asked Da Nian Zhang using his consciousness. "Don't worry, I've set up a soundproof barrier ten meters away. As long as you don't go too far, no one should hear anything from here," Da Nian Zhang said smugly. A conspiracy! Yes, it was Duo Duo's conspiracy! Think about it, Duo Duo's bottom line is his women, and this bastard Andri had actually crossed that line. He hadn't reacted on the dance floor, out of respect for Lucy, but... he would absolutely not let those guys off the hook. The difference was that Andri was the first to suffer, because he had such a seductive mother! "Andri!" Duchess Martha exclaimed, rushing over to see her son. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, a pair of large hands firmly gripped her waist. With a splash, Dodo's enormous member forcefully penetrated Duchess Martha's secret place. The unprecedented size of the member caused her body to feel a tearing pain, followed by a feeling of fullness that made her feel as if her body was swelling.

"Mmm...no...no..." Duchess Martha writhed, moaning, trying to refuse but her body was weak and powerless. The hot, massive member gave her an unprecedentedly wonderful feeling. Her body betrayed her reason in that instant, watching Andre lie groaning in the grass. She couldn't leave this man's body.

Dodo grabbed Duchess Martha's breasts, thrusting gently from behind, panting, "You really don't want it?"

Mmm...oh... Duchess Martha moaned continuously. With each thrust, she didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Don't worry, I'm very careful. Your Andre isn't dead. I'm just punishing him a little. Didn't you notice how much he offended me?" Dodo whispered in Duchess Martha's ear.

As he spoke, Dodo's thrusts became slightly more intense, his hands kneading her breasts more forcefully, the soft, perky breasts changing into various lewd shapes between Dodo's fingers.

"Relax your body, and I'll let you experience unprecedented pleasure..." Dodo's voice was full of seduction. He simply released Duchess Martha's breasts, gripping her slender waist with both hands, making it easier to exert force.

Duchess Martha was different from Dodo's other women; this woman was anything but inexperienced in sex, even extremely skilled, so her demands were higher. Dodo planned to completely conquer her physically this time. Judging from Lucy's behavior, the situation in the Giant Tree Elf Empire seemed much more complicated than he had imagined. In such a complicated situation, wouldn't it be a great thing to have such a courtesan at his disposal?

As for Andri, Dodo wasn't worried. After all, he had only slightly punished Andri. Once he had physically conquered Duchess Martha and promised her an alluring price, he believed she wouldn't mind the punishment he had given Andri tonight.

Even if she did mind, it didn't matter. If soft methods didn't work, then hard methods would do!

*Slap slap…* Dodo thrust forcefully, his lower abdomen slamming against Duchess Martha's firm, full buttocks, creating alluring ripples and a seductive slapping sound.

Duchess Martha, who had initially managed to stand, grew increasingly weak as Dodo's thrusts intensified. With each groan, she bent over, her hands on the ground for support, her buttocks raised high, allowing Dodo's unrestrained conquest. It

felt so good… She had never experienced such intense pleasure before. Compared to this, all her previous sexual encounters seemed so dull and tasteless. "

Oh… give me… harder… harder…" Duchess Martha's reason was completely overwhelmed by lust. Already a wanton woman, she was now even more reckless in the throes of this exquisite lovemaking.

Using the strength of her arms, she thrust backward forcefully, meeting Dodo's thrusts.

"It's coming... Oh God... Give it to me..."

With a long moan, she suddenly used all her remaining strength, like a madwoman, to thrust her hips forcefully, making Dodo's thrusts even more violent.

Ah... Duchess Martha's head suddenly jerked back, her body trembling violently, her hands gripping a handful of grass on the ground, squeezing hard... Her first orgasm finally arrived, she felt as if she had reached the peak of pleasure, tasted ecstasy, and experienced what it truly meant to be in a state of blissful ecstasy.

As her body gradually relaxed, her arms could no longer support her, and her upper body slowly slumped down.

Dodo enjoyed the wonderful feeling of Duchess Martha's hot vaginal fluids surging against his lower body during her orgasm, and his body also squatted down with her.

"Is it comfortable?" Dodo asked breathlessly.

"Comfortable...comfortable..." Duchess Martha said indistinctly, her eyes half-open.

"Want more?"

"Yes...yes...fuck me to death...I want...oh my god, it feels so good..."

Dodo chuckled, pulling his lower body out of Duchess Martha's body, shifting his position, and thrusting his lower body, covered in vaginal fluid and love juice, towards her: "Lick it clean for me, and I'll continue..."

Duchess Martha glanced at Dodo, struggling to lift her head, licking Dodo's lower body, cleaning up all the mixture of love juice and love juice.

"Hehe, I like docile women...now, I'll feed you..." Dodo laughed.

Saying that, Dodo moved between Duchess Martha's legs, lifting her legs high, using his swollen lower body to find the right position, and thrusting in hard.

Oh...the continued feeling of fullness made Duchess Martha moan with pleasure.

This time, Dodo didn't care about technique, but instead thrust hard and wide. He had deliberately made Duchess Martha enjoy herself, and now it was his turn to vent.

This position made Duchess Martha's lower body fully protrude, making it easier for Duo Duo to enter.

Duo Duo's size was larger than she had ever accepted before, and now, using this position, the sensation was indescribable. Each time he penetrated, the moment he hit her deepest uterus, she felt as if her soul was about to be blown away.

"Oh, God, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore..." As another climax approached, Duchess Martha began to ramble incoherently.

"Want more later?" Duo Duo asked breathlessly, thrusting forcefully. "Yes

...yes..."

"From now on, your body belongs only to you, understand? No one else can satisfy you..." Duo Duo said with a cold laugh.

"Yes, yes...from now on, as long as you fuck me..." Duchess Martha probably didn't even know what she was saying anymore.

Duo Duo chuckled, gritted his teeth, and began to unleash his pent-up desires...

Chapter 498

After a long period of intimidation...

With a muffled groan, Toto released all his desire into Duchess Martha's body, then ordered the nearly unconscious Duchess Martha to lick his genitals clean before getting up to straighten his clothes.

Duchess Martha, too weak to move, lay in the grass, panting, her naked body trembling slightly in the afterglow of pleasure.

Before leaving, Toto mercifully draped his evening gown over Duchess Martha, then turned and walked towards Andrei.

Andrei was still lying in the grass; he had been unconscious for quite some time.

Dodo walked up to him, squatted down, and sneered, "Mr. Andre, you were already awake, weren't you? You just didn't want to see this, didn't you?"

Andre's hand clenched suddenly in the grass. He opened his eyes, looked at Dodo, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm going to kill you!"

Dodo laughed, "Why? Just because I had sex with your mother? Let me tell you, this is your punishment! I have my bottom line, and that's my women! To be honest, if it were up to my temper, you would have been torn to shreds by now!"

Then, Dodo snorted again, "You think you're not convinced? You, this so-called 'magician,' haven't been able to cast a spell yet, have you? Let me tell you a secret, I've encountered mages of a higher level than you

. Just two days ago, I met such opponents: Earl Campbell of the Green Grass Elf Empire, and Duke Os… You don't know Duke Os, do you?" Andre was stunned. He didn't know if this guy was bragging or if it was true.

But he had indeed been inexplicably knocked away and knocked unconscious. Was it magic? He was an elf. He must have used magic. Good heavens, so that means he doesn't even need to chant spells?

Duo Duo said mysteriously, "If you're not convinced, I can give you a chance to duel, but there's one condition: if you duel me, I will kill you! Think about it..."

With that, Duo Duo stood up and turned to walk towards the hall.

A moment later, Duo Duo heard the sound of chanting a spell, but he didn't turn around. What a joke! He'd even seen someone close to a mage like Duke Os. What was this little bastard compared to that!

"He's using water magic. It's not surprising, his magical skill is quite good, reaching the level of an intermediate mage," Zhang's voice echoed in Duo Duo's mind.

When Duo Duo felt a dampness in the air and a pressure coming from behind, his Nine Yang Energy instantly surged, an energy shield covering his entire body.

Boom!

A muffled sound rang out, and Duo Duo's body trembled slightly as he used the energy shield to forcefully block Andri's water magic attack.

As the water mist exploded and spread, Duo Duo suddenly turned around—Knight's Code, Greatsword!

A phantom of a broadsword rapidly formed between Dodo's hands. To Andre's incredulous, terrified gaze, the phantom shot towards him with lightning speed and an incredibly bizarre trajectory.

Good heavens!

Battle aura!

This elf was using battle aura. And it was unimaginably powerful. No wonder he hadn't sensed any magical fluctuations around him earlier.

"No!" Duchess Martha, her clothes disheveled and not yet fully dressed, shouted loudly from a short distance away.

Dodo sneered. The broadsword suddenly exploded near Andre's nose, vanishing without a trace, but the intense heat of the Nine Yang energy still slightly burned Andre's nose.

"No, please, don't kill my son..." Duchess Martha staggered over; Dodo had been too cruel. Only after regaining her senses did she feel the burning, swollen pain in her lower body.

Andre was completely terrified!

He finally realized the gap between himself and this guy. Good heavens, this guy could dissipate his intermediate-level magic attack simply by using his battle aura defense, and he could also quickly unleash such a powerful and bizarre move… Instantly, a layer of cold sweat seeped through Andre's body; the brush with death chilled him to the bone.

Dodo laughed, “My dear lady, of course I won't harm your son. I said it was just a punishment, a small punishment. Perhaps I can make some deals with Earl Andre in the future…”

Then, Dodo looked at Andre and said, “I said I'd give you a chance to duel. This time, it's considered a sneak attack, not a duel, so I won't kill you. How about that? Am I magnanimous enough? If there's a next time, no one's pleas can stop your death!”

With that, Dodo turned and strode away.

Duchess Martha walked unsteadily to Andre's side and said softly, “You are the most important person to me. Everything my mother did was for you. I hope you know that… alas…” With that, she also left.

A moment later, Andre collapsed to the ground, looking up at the sky. His confidence was completely shattered. He clearly understood that when he had just been on the verge of death, he was far less strong than he had imagined. He had almost wet his pants and even had the urge to kneel and beg for mercy… When Dodo returned to the hall, the nobles looked at him with suspicion because he had been gone for quite some time.

Dodo chuckled dryly and said, “I’m sorry, gentlemen, I had a little too much to drink and wanted to go to the back for some fresh air, but I got lost…”

This was clearly a perfunctory answer, but no one took it seriously. What he did was none of their business.

Lucy saw Dodo and suddenly rushed over anxiously.

Dodo asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Lucy quickly pulled Dodo aside, her eyes reddening. Dodo was startled and immediately became flustered, unsure how to comfort her.

“Just now… just now…” Lucy stammered, revealing the extent of her anxiety.

"What happened just now? Don't panic, tell me slowly." Duo Duo took a glass of fruit wine and slowly fed it to Lucy.

Lucy gasped for breath and said, "I was chatting with Countess Susan just now, and when we talked about my brother, she casually mentioned that just ten days ago, my brother participated in this year's Royal Magic Competition in perfect health and even won first place." "

The awards ceremony was just three days ago. My brother even participated in the award ceremony and accepted the trophy himself… But… but today he's so sick… Duo Duo… Duo Duo… my brother is really dying… Waaah…" Lucy said incoherently, then buried her face in Duo Duo's chest and sobbed.

Fortunately, You Hun and the others deliberately stood in front of Duo Duo, so outsiders couldn't see Lucy's condition.

"You mean your brother's life is in the next three days?" Duo Duo asked, startled.

“Yes, my brother is a light-element mage. His healing magic is very powerful. Even if he's always been weak, he wouldn't suddenly become this sick in such a short time!” Lucy said, her eyes brimming with tears.

Duo Duo frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Tomorrow, let's go see him…”

Duo Duo suddenly realized that if it really was an illness, he certainly wouldn't be able to help. But according to what Lucy said, there might be external causes rather than the illness itself. For any reason, he had to go see her. He couldn't, but there was still Da Nian.

As the banquet drew to a close, no one suggested extending it.

Everyone noticed Princess Lucy's sudden heavy heart; continuing the festivities was pointless.

That evening,

Duo Duo and the others stayed at Duke Os's residence.

In Duo Duo's room, they began discussing the possibilities.

Ultimately, the illness itself was only 30% likely; the remaining 70% was something they dared not imagine.

The prince of the inner palace, the heir to the throne—if, as they say, there's a 70% chance, it was an outsider's plot to kill him, then the situation is truly terrifying.

Lucy shudders at the thought. Since returning, she's felt increasingly uneasy. At night, she clings tightly to Duoduo in bed, letting him hold her close, as if that gives her a sense of security.

"Duoduo, you…you must never leave me…" Lucy whispers, nestled in Duoduo's arms.

Duoduo laughs, "Silly woman, how could I bear to leave you? Unless I die."

Lucy trembles, covering Duoduo's mouth with her hand, pleading, "Don't mention that word, I'm afraid…"

"Okay, okay, my little princess, I was wrong, I'll never mention it again…I won't die, neither of us will die, okay? Let's be eternal devils together…" Duoduo says softly.

Lucy laughs, saying, "That's more like it."

"Baby, sleep now, aren't we going to see your brother tomorrow?" Duoduo gently pats Lucy's back. "Mmm." Lucy nodded obediently, hugged Duoduo tightly, and drifted off to sleep in his arms.

Chapter 499: Speculation.

Duoduo lay awake, his mind racing. Since arriving in the Giant Tree Elf Empire, his plans hadn't even begun before he was caught up in the chaos of the royal palace. Sigh… there was nothing he could do… Duoduo looked down at the soundly sleeping Lucy, kissed her forehead, and for this woman, he would shoulder even the most devastating consequences!

Morning.

Dodo was woken up by Lucy pinching his nose. Looking outside, he saw it was already bright daylight, and the clear chirping of birds filled the room, giving him a feeling of being in a fairytale. He

opened the window and took two deep breaths of fresh air; the faint fragrance of flowers and grass in the air soothed him.

With Yana's help, Dodo finished washing up. Lucy pulled him along, saying, "Let's go! Uncle Os has already sent someone to call us twice. Don't let them think we're lazy."

Dodo chuckled, "Who's lazy? It's all their fault for being so diligent..."

"Ah, you can say something like that? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?" Lucy laughed.

"You guys heard it, but would you laugh at me? Yana, would you laugh at me? Youhun, would you laugh at me? Hmph, anyone who dares to laugh at me, I'll strip them naked tonight and spank them until their bottoms are swollen!" Dodo said arrogantly.

Amidst laughter, the group walked down the small building and, led by a servant waiting outside, headed towards the dining room.

As Duoduo walked, he said, "Alice, Maria, and Felicity, stay here today. Too many of us going into the palace is not good. If what you suspect is true, we need to be even more careful."

Then, Duoduo added, "Don't get any bad ideas. I'll have my powerful male slaves guard you, Maria. Hehe. You can spend the whole day with your father."

Maria's face changed, and she was about to speak when Duoduo waved her hand to interrupt her, saying impatiently, "I know what you want to say. It depends on your performance. Maybe one day you'll please me, and I'll grant your request."

"Ah? Really?" Maria said in surprise. All along, she had lived under Duoduo's tyranny, and all she had done was abuse. This was the first time he had given her hope like this.

"Of course!" Duoduo said decisively. After saying that, he secretly added in his heart, "It's fake..."

Damn it, even if I wanted to release his father, I wouldn't!

The soul puppet is a big deal. Whether Zhang's method can be cured or not is another matter entirely.

When Duo Duo and the others entered the dining room, the long rectangular table was already laden with various delicious breakfast dishes, and Duke Os was sitting at one end of the long table, waiting for them with a smile.

These people had only drunk some wine last night and hadn't eaten much at the banquet, so they didn't care about their image anymore. Led by Duo Duo, they all ate heartily, making Duke Os laugh incessantly. After

finishing breakfast, Duo Duo and the others exchanged a few pleasantries with Duke Os before claiming that they needed to go to the palace to see the King and visit their ailing brother. They didn't say much else.

It wasn't that they were deliberately hiding anything from Duke Os. It was just that everything was still speculation, and the situation was unclear. They would wait and see.

Upon hearing the messenger's report,

Emperor Giant Tree III was already waiting for Lucy and the others in the main hall.

Yesterday, his daughter had just returned, but left after a quarrel, which greatly worried Emperor Giant Tree III. He was also curious to see the man Lucy had brought back—what kind of man could make Lucy so devoted?

Duo Duo entered the palace. Aside from that fleeting glimpse at the city gate, this was only the second time he had seen His Majesty the King.

Because he had been turned away at the palace gate last time, Duo Duo, though not particularly bothered, still felt somewhat uncomfortable, so his attitude wasn't overly respectful; rather, he appeared neither servile nor arrogant.

Looking at Duo Duo's tall figure, handsome face, and composed demeanor, Emperor Giant Tree III nodded secretly.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," Duo Duo said, bowing after Lucy pulled him back.

"No need for formalities," Emperor Giant Tree III said with a smile. "And these two are?"

"Her name is Yana, my maid, and her name is Youhun, she's my..." Duoduo introduced them one by one, but before he could formally introduce Youhun, Youhun interrupted, "I'm also my master's maid..."

Youhun's words were quite thoughtful.

Among Lucy, Yana, and herself, in front of the king, Lucy was naturally Duoduo's woman, but if Duoduo introduced her as his woman as well, leaving Yana alone in the maid's position, Youhun felt a little guilty.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad, no wonder Lucy always praises you," His Majesty the King said with a smile.

"Lucy, my darling woman, are you still angry with your father? Did you come here specifically to see your father?" His Majesty the King looked at Lucy with affection, his eyes full of love.

Lucy smiled faintly and said, "I've come to let you see my husband, and also to see my brother."

"Ah?" For some reason, the face of the Great Tree Emperor III darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Didn't you already go see him yesterday?"

"Yesterday is yesterday, today is today. Can't I let my husband see my brother?" Lucy said, dissatisfied.

"No need to go today, another day..." the Great Tree Emperor III said softly, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"Father, you seem to have forgotten. You said yesterday that I should leave the Great Tree Elf Empire. I'm afraid I won't have time another day," Lucy said.

"Lucy, you...you're still angry with Father?" the Great Tree Emperor said, his voice trembling.

"Lucy isn't angry, she's just a little confused. Why does everything seem so unfamiliar since I came back? Father, what happened? Please tell me..." Lucy became somewhat agitated.

"Stop talking!" the Great Tree Emperor shouted. "Nothing has happened, don't make wild guesses!"

Duo Duo, watching from the side, grew increasingly angry. Damn it, he clearly had something on his mind, yet he was still hiding it. Why get so angry?!

After a moment's hesitation, Duo Duo walked to Lucy's side and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please allow me to say a word."

"Speak," the Great Tree Emperor said hesitantly.

"Lucy is your daughter. She cares about everything you do, you know? Because of her willful departure last time, she and I agreed that she would come back to make it up to you, but you treat us like this. Family can share everything!" Duo Duo said in a deep voice.

The Great Tree Emperor's face grew increasingly grim. His lips moved slightly, but he remained silent for a long time.

This further confirmed Duo Duo and Lucy's suspicions. It seemed that something had indeed happened to the Great Tree Emperor, no, perhaps the entire palace.

Dodo thought that if they couldn't get anything from the Great Tree Emperor, they could try Duchess Martha. Since she was a renowned socialite, her information network was naturally excellent.

"Your Majesty, since you don't want to tell us anything, Lucy, let's go!" Dodo said, then took Lucy's hand and turned to leave.

"Halt!" the Great Tree Emperor shouted in a deep voice.

When Dodo and Lucy turned back, their faces full of surprise, the Great Tree Emperor slumped into his chair and said, "Lucy, let's leave the palace. Be careful..."

Dodo immediately became angry and sneered, "Don't worry, I've got you covered!"

With that, he turned and quickly left the hall with Lucy.

To be honest, this was a bit of an overreaction. Dodo was genuinely worried that the Great Tree Emperor would become enraged and attract the guards, making the situation difficult to manage. His only belief was that the old man deeply loved Lucy, which was evident in the way he frequently glanced at her.

After walking a long way, and only when he was sure no guards were chasing him did Duo Duo pat his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked, looking at Duo Duo.

Dodo looked back and said, "You scared me to death! I was really worried the old man would get angry and send guards to arrest me."

Lucy was taken aback and said, "Huh? I thought you were such a hero just now, but I was just moved for nothing!"

Yana and the Wanderer chuckled beside them.

Dodo shamelessly said, "I'm not afraid of the guards arresting me, I'm afraid that if they do, I'll hurt too many people, and the old man will lose face! Hehe, I have to consider my father-in-law's reputation."

"You're just bragging!" Lucy rolled her eyes at Dodo and scolded her.

Dodo quickly changed the subject, "How far is it from your brother's palace?"

"It's just around the corner ahead," Lucy said.

After taking a few steps forward, the Wanderer suddenly said, "I feel something's off."

"What is it?" Dodo asked, startled. The Wanderer

, a member of the five hundred Dark Elf branch,

closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings. He opened his eyes and said in confusion, "Hmm? Was it just my imagination? The feeling I had just felt suddenly disappeared."

At this moment, the New Year. Zhang's voice suddenly rang in Duo Duo's mind: "Such a strong aura of the dead!"

"Aura of the dead?" Duo Duo exclaimed in surprise.

Yana, the wandering spirit, and Lucy all looked at Duo Duo at the same time. Duo Duo frowned and said, "It seems that the 70% chance might be true. Be careful, don't stray too far from me."

She entered the palace.

The palace was as cold and dark as when Lucy had come yesterday, filled with a strange smell of potions.

Lucy's brother lay quietly on the bed, like a skeleton.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?" A palace attendant stepped forward and bowed.

Lucy said coldly, "Can't I come to see my brother?"

"His Majesty the King has decreed that no one is allowed to enter the prince's palace without his permission," the attendant said in a low voice.

"Get out of my way!" The usually gentle Lucy was completely enraged and shouted angrily.

Duo Duo stepped forward and said coldly, "Say one more word, and I'll take your life right now!"

The chilling killing intent made the attendant shudder. He glanced fearfully at Lucy and Duo Duo, bowed, and didn't dare utter a sound before quickly walking away.

Lucy stared at the prince on the bed, her eyes reddening, and slowly walked towards him. Duo Duo, Yana, and the wandering soul hurriedly followed behind. This place was far too eerie; they had to be extremely careful.

Lucy reached the bedside, grasped the prince's hand, and began to sob.

Duo Duo, Yana, and the wandering soul looked down at the prince's withered face, unable to discern anything for a moment.

"You old lecher... I beg you..." Duo Duo spoke to Da Nian and Zhang with unprecedented politeness. Seeing Lucy's sorrow, his heart ached terribly. He would give anything to make his woman happy.

"Alright, I'll try," Da Nian said. Zhang also realized the seriousness of the situation. He unusually refrained from joking with Duo Duo.

Black mist began to form on the chastity charm ring, drifting towards the prince.

A moment later, the mist entered the prince's nostrils, and his body jolted violently. His previously expressionless, sleeping face suddenly contorted.

"Ah?" Lucy exclaimed, looking at Duoduo in fear.

Duoduo said, "It's alright, it's alright."

Suddenly!

The prince's body trembled violently. A gurgling sound came from his throat.

A cloud of black mist suddenly enveloped his deathly gray face. He looked incredibly eerie and terrifying. Duoduo

also felt a pang of panic. He had never encountered such a situation before. Duoduo

gripped the chastity charm ring tightly, desperately calling out in his mind, "Old lecher, old lecher..."

A moment later, the prince's trembling intensified, his hands flailing wildly in the air as if grasping at something.

"Brother...brother...what's wrong with you!" Lucy cried out in terror.

Duoduo completely panicked, rushing to Lucy's side and looking down at the prince, but he was at a loss for what to do.

Just then!

A wisp of black mist emerged from the prince's ears, mouth, and nose. The mist was much thinner than when he had entered.

It quickly entered the chastity spell ring.

Duo Duo hurriedly called out with his mind, "Old lecher, old lecher! Are you alright?"

A moment later, Da Nian Zhang's weak voice rang out, "You brat, you almost killed this old man!"

"What happened?" Duo Duo asked anxiously.

"Damn it, I don't know who it was. They actually set up the forbidden necromancy spell 'Purgatory' on the prince's soul!" Da Nian Zhang exclaimed in shock.

Forbidden necromancy spell. Not to mention Duo Duo, even wandering spirits who practiced necromancy probably had never heard of it. This kind of magic had supposedly disappeared many years ago, and was considered a taboo by all magicians in the world. Even necromancers had given up on practicing it.

This forbidden magic could neither attack nor defend; its only use was to torture people!

It could be said that such magic was useless; there were many ways to torture people, and there was no need to bother practicing such a difficult spell.

"Purgatory" only has an absolute torturous effect on the soul, so the result of Zhang's soul encountering "Purgatory" was suffering, and it seems he never returned.

Suddenly!

In the dimly lit corridor on the right, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind.

Duoduo's ears twitched, and she suddenly looked in that direction... "Your Highness, hello!"

Booker walked in like a ghost, and even though his expression was respectful, his tone always sounded sinister and uncomfortable.

Needless to say, it must have been the servant who had just left who informed Booker, otherwise he wouldn't have appeared so promptly.

Lucy wiped the tears from her pretty face and said, "Mr. Booker, my brother, he..." Booker interrupted, "Your Highness, you can rest assured, Booker will not take it lightly. This is a crown prince, and I will do everything in my power!" "

That's for the best. Please do your best to save my brother," Lucy said politely.

Booker smiled slightly but did not speak.

Yana and the wandering spirit observed everything from the sidelines. A hint of doubt flashed in Yana's eyes. Her attention had been focused on the prince on the bed, but now her gaze was fixed on Booker.

Perhaps it was an instinct, but being stared at always made him more or less aware. Booker subconsciously looked up at Yana, his body visibly trembling, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. "

Who is he?" Duoduo asked疑惑地, feeling quite annoyed at being left out. Even though he didn't have a formal title, this guy was still practically the prince consort. "

Sent by the Temple of Nature to save my brother," Lucy said softly, turning her head to glance at the dying prince, her heart filled with sorrow once more.

Duoduo looked at Booker with some surprise. In this world, there were magicians and martial arts practitioners, but Duoduo clearly didn't belong to either. Therefore, he was much more sensitive to any aura than others, because in terms of cultivation, he was more of an observer. "

Someone from the Temple of Nature?"

Dodo had encountered similar auras before, even the highest-ranking Saintess Mulan. That aura was unforgettable, and he had even come to the elven territory hoping to see that otherworldly woman again. Every time he thought of it, the aura he sensed that day was as clear as if it were yesterday.

Clearly, he couldn't sense that Saintess Mulan's holy aura on this Booker. Although the surface aura seemed somewhat similar, the inner essence was completely different.

Despite his doubts, Dodo couldn't voice them.

He couldn't believe that an anomaly could infiltrate the palace of the Giant Tree Elf Empire.

Besides, even if he were an anomaly, this one was impersonating the elven faith—the Temple of Nature.

Perhaps this guy's level was far lower than Saintess Mulan's? That's why he gave him this feeling. Dodo pondered for a while, and it seemed that only this reason could explain it. "

Mr. Booker, is there any hope for my brother?" Lucy asked anxiously, almost desperately. "

Please trust the Temple of Nature!" "Booker said bluntly.

The Temple of Nature is the faith of the Great Elves, an unattainable existence. Even in Lucy's heart, her upbringing taught her that the Temple of Nature is omnipotent.

Mr. Booker," Yana suddenly called out from the side.

Booker, who had been secretly watching Yana out of the corner of his eye, looked up sharply at Yana's call, his expression very complicated. "

Are you a branch of Elder Turam?" Yana suddenly said something that Duo Duo and the others didn't understand.

Booker's body trembled violently, looking at Yana with incomprehension.

Yana slowly walked to Duo Duo's side, staring at Booker and said: "I am the current Holy Maiden of the Night Elf Clan!"

This sentence surprised Duo Duo and the others, but it seemed to have an unusual shock effect on Booker. He looked at Yana in astonishment, his expression changing repeatedly, his lips moving, but he couldn't say a word. "

Are you a direct descendant of Elder Mora?" Yana's expression was somewhat excited, but her tone was as calm as possible.

Booker stared wide-eyed at Yana, his gaze extremely conflicted, as if deep in thought.

Yana hesitated; she understood Booker's feelings—he must be filled with doubt and unable to make a decision.

The best approach would be to reveal the Saintess's special abilities to dispel Booker's suspicions. However, they were currently in the heart of the Great Elf race, in the palace of the Giant Tree Elf Empire. Who knew what kind of powerful figures might be lurking in some corner? If they revealed their strength, causing energy to leak out and be sensed by the Great Elves, it would lead to a great deal of trouble.

Chapter 501: Suspicion

Within the Dark Elf race, if there were any secrets worthy of the title, Elder Mora would undoubtedly be one of the greatest secrets in the history of the Dark Elf race.

The Dark Elf race of the past was far larger than it is now. The direct descendants of the four elders constituted a complete Dark Elf race. Back then, although they were also fleeing from the pursuit of the Great Elves, they still had the ability to launch a counterattack when the opportunity arose.

However, during a certain decision-making meeting, due to differing opinions, a fierce debate broke out among the four elders.

Among them, Elder Mora's lineage took a more realistic approach to the current situation, proposing to ally with a powerful patron to use against the Great Elves, thus completely shifting their strategy from fleeing to actively attacking.

However, the other three elders disagreed with Elder Mora's proposal. They believed that the Night Elves were independent beings, not subservient to anyone. Even without anything, they possessed absolute freedom; if they were to ally with another, they would eventually become slaves.

This issue led to a heated and protracted argument, culminating in Elder Mora's fiery temper leading his lineage away from the Night Elves, disappearing without a trace.

For Yana, Elder Mora's lineage was history, a distant past beyond her years.

Previously, the Night Elves' surrounding communities had assumed Elder Mora had perished in the Great Elves' attack after leaving their group, and they had deeply mourned him.

Unexpectedly, in this environment, Yana sensed the aura of the Night Elves emanating from Booker, who claimed to be from the Temple of Nature. Although the aura was faint, as a fellow Night Elf, even the faintest scent would trigger an instinctive connection.

Yana knew every Night Elf in the world, and encountering a stranger in this unfamiliar environment could only mean that this person was from Elder Mora's lineage.

What puzzled Yana was how this person had infiltrated the palace of the Giant Tree Elf Empire.

Even more astonishing was that Booker was impersonating the Night Elves' natural enemy—a member of the Temple of Nature!

Suppressing her numerous doubts, Yana let out a long sigh, circulating the energy of the Death Spider Queen within her. The small red spider mark between her brows emitted a striking light, though faint; Yana dared only use this much energy. She dared not rashly provoke Duo Duo.

This little bit was enough!

Spider markings are a symbol of inheriting the power of the Death Queen Spider. This has been passed down through generations of the Night Elves, and even though Booker has long since left their ranks, he has heard of it.

Seeing Yana's reaction, Booker no longer had any doubts. His usually impassive face began to show excitement, and his body trembled slightly. "

My God, you…you are Her Highness the Holy Maiden…" Booker's voice trembled. He was extremely excited.

Elder Mora, like all the Night Elves, possessed absolute loyalty to his race. They simply had different views on the future development of their race. Although he had left the Night Elves, he was always worried about his people. His lifelong wish was to prove his views were correct.

Unfortunately, no creature can fight against time. Elder Mora eventually succumbed to his natural death. But his wish continued to be passed down through his direct descendants, becoming the ultimate mission of their bloodline. And so it has

continued to this day. Elder Mora's bloodline has flowed for countless generations, yet no one dares to forget it. They strive for it, actively searching for the Night Elves, attempting to fulfill Elder Mora's last wish and re-establish contact with their people.

Unfortunately, for many years the Night Elves have been homeless, constantly fleeing the pursuit of the Great Elves, so even with the best efforts of Elder Mora's direct descendants, they haven't been able to find their people.

Booker's surprise at this moment was no less than Yana's, perhaps even more profound.

He hadn't expected to encounter a member of the Night Elf clan so easily here, especially their only Holy Maiden!

Although excited, Booker remained cautious, revealing the difficult circumstances Elder Mora's people had faced over the years.

He looked up at Yana with utmost respect, but a wary glint remained in his eyes as he glanced at Duo Duo and the others. "

They're alright," Yana said softly, understanding Booker's meaning.

Booker hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Yana with standard Night Elf etiquette, before whispering, "Your Highness, please forgive me, this is truly not the place to express my respect... I reside at Duke Os's residence; you may visit me at any time." Yana replied knowingly.

Booker visibly trembled at the mention of Duke Os, his expression one of utter horror.

Duo Duo, who had been watching him closely, keenly noticed the change in his expression. A thought struck her, and she said, "This afternoon, we'll find a private room in the largest restaurant in the capital..." Booker glanced at Duo Duo, and seeing Yana nod in agreement, he nodded slightly as well. "

Let's go!" Duo Duo said.

Lucy was completely bewildered. With her abilities, she naturally couldn't discern Booker's identity as a Dark Elf. Although she vaguely suspected it, she couldn't believe it; she couldn't believe that someone from the Temple of Nature could have any connection with Yana.

However, seeing that Duo Duo was determined to leave, she didn't say anything. She turned and walked to her brother's bedside, glanced at him with tears in her eyes, then turned back to Duo Duo, sobbing softly as she hugged his arm tightly.

Duo Duo turned and gazed at Booker, then turned and led Yana and the others away from the prince's palace. After leaving the palace, Duo Duo didn't head towards the main hall, but instead walked briskly towards the palace gates. "

Aren't we going to see Father?" Lucy glanced longingly at the main hall. Even though her father had displeased her somewhat, her affection for him remained undiminished. "

Tomorrow, I have some things to do today," Duo Duo said calmly.

Lucy didn't press further. She rarely objected to Duo Duo's decisions, especially seeing his serious expression; he must have something important to discuss, so she certainly wouldn't raise any objections.

The palace guards bowed respectfully as Lucy and her group approached, none daring to stop them.

The group hurried along, quickly leaving the palace... "What are you doing? Uncle Os's residence is over there!" Lucy grabbed Duo Duo's arm.

Duo Duo laughed, "It's so early, why rush back? Let's have a good time today, I want to experience the prosperity of the Giant Tree Elf Empire."

"You fatso, are you hiding something from me?" Lucy demanded fiercely. Although she knew Duo Duo had ulterior motives, the man's concealment pained her.

Dodo hugged Lucy and said, "My little princess, how could I dare hide anything from you? Even if I told you everything, we still need to find a quiet place, right?

That's more like it. Where shall we go?" Lucy's anger turned to laughter, and she said happily.

Dodo glanced at Yana and Youhun and said, "Let's play for a bit first. Sigh... I'm really ashamed to say this! As a man, I haven't even bought any gifts for my beloved women yet."

Lucy felt sweet inside, but said rather unappreciatively, "So you finally realized that?"

Dodo chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Back in Mandala City, even if I wanted to, I was powerless. Now I have plenty of time and opportunities, so why shouldn't I, Dodo, buy you lots of gifts you like?"

The word "Dodo" appeared repeatedly in his sentence, which made Lucy angrily pinch Dodo hard and say, "Are you reciting a rhyme? Look how pleased you are with yourself!"

Dodo spread his arms wide, pulling Yana, Youhun, and Lucy into his embrace, saying, "With such considerate and beautiful women like you, it would be a waste of my luck not to adorn myself..." Lucy, Yana, Youhun, and the others all felt a tremor in their hearts. Dodo was rarely serious, but whenever he spoke earnestly, it was always so touching. "

Alright, take us to the bustling market. Today, we won't hold back!" Lucy giggled, "But remember, tell me everything later. Don't hide anything from me."

Dodo laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said cheerfully, "Let's go, my women! Today, we won't hold back on anyone. Let's make up for all the past grievances!"

After saying that, he embraced the three beauties and, following Lucy's directions, headed towards the most bustling area of Giant Tree City.

(Chapter 502: Happiness is Actually Very Simple)

Three stunningly beautiful women and a handsome male elf—such a combination would cause a sensation anywhere, attracting attention at least 200%.

Especially noteworthy was the presence of a human woman among the three beauties, which left the passing elves speechless.

The Great Elves, renowned for their striking looks, considered themselves far superior to humans. But now, a human woman standing before them, no less beautiful than their most beautiful woman, was a rude awakening to their arrogance.

However, it was precisely this that made Duo Duo's existence a source of vanity!

So what if humans have beautiful women?

They're still conquered by the men of the Great Elves!

This mentality led passersby to treat Duo Duo with extreme friendliness, lacking the usual envy.

If they knew that several other beautiful women were beside Duo Duo, their friendliness would likely vanish instantly, and everyone would secretly curse, wishing Duo Duo dead and themselves in her place.

The streets of Giant Tree City were extremely wide, allowing the self-proclaimed elegant Great Elves to maintain their composure amidst the crowds.

Shops lined both sides of the streets, their bustling atmosphere rivaling that of the most prosperous cities in human territories.

Because merchants had recently been banned from entering, the specialties in the human territory were mostly stockpiled items with nothing new. Fortunately, the specialties in the elven territory were just as exquisite and delightful, ensuring that Duo Duo and his companions wouldn't leave empty-handed.

For the first time in their lives, You Hun and Yana, women burdened with heavy fates, experienced the simple joy of shopping.

Encouraged by Duo Duo and infected by Lucy's laughter, they quickly joined Lucy's group, excitedly selecting their favorite items, forgetting everything else and enjoying this brief moment of happiness.

Duo Duo watched his women shop with a smile, realizing that sometimes a man's happiness is simple: being able to buy a gift his beloved woman liked brings a strong sense of accomplishment.

As for the price, Duo Duo wasn't stingy. He was no longer the slave in the Half-Step Duo Tavern, but a Great Elf, and his equipment naturally had to match his new status. He needed to have plenty of gold coins on hand.

They walked on, buying non-stop.

Dodo naturally took on the role of a laborer, his body laden with bags and packages, drawing envious glances from the elven women passing by. It's worth noting that even in elven territories, there's a degree of male chauvinism, and elegant elven gentlemen wouldn't do something so undignified for their women.

As noon approached, the joy of shopping was gradually overwhelmed by exhaustion.

Lucy began to look listless, and Yana, the wandering soul, was no longer as excited as before.

Dodo considerately said, "Let's find a place to rest; it's almost lunchtime."

Lucy clung to Dodo's arm, her voice like a child's pleading, "You fatso, you're so good..." Dodo suddenly remembered Booker's situation, and a thought struck him. He said, "Lucy, do you know where the most luxurious and largest restaurant in Giant Tree City is?"

"Of course I know," Lucy casually mentioned her brother, her eyes reddening. "When my brother and I sneaked out of the palace..."

Duoduo hurriedly said, "Then take us there, um... I've decided. I'll treat you to a good lunch!"

Lucy didn't want her sadness to affect others, so she suppressed her tears and forced a smile, saying, "You said it yourself, we won't hold back, not only with our hands but also with our words!"

Duoduo laughed, "Whoever holds back to their words today, I'll teach them a lesson tonight!"

As they chatted, they strolled along, until Lucy called them to stop. Only then did Duo Duo notice a three-story building ahead, its sign reading "Xiaoxiao Restaurant."

As a seasoned restaurant server, Duo Duo, with her professional eye, examined the restaurant and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Its size was roughly the same as the Banbuduo Restaurant. "

Tsk tsk… this is the biggest and most luxurious restaurant in Giant Tree City?

It's about the same size as Banbuduo Restaurant," Youhun muttered.

Lucy covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister Youhun, do you think elves are as fond of gluttony as you humans? Let's go, the food here is quite good, much better than Banbuduo Restaurant."

Duo Duo and the others followed Lucy into the restaurant, secretly marveling at its interior.

Compared to Banbuduo Restaurant, this hardly seemed like a place to eat… elegant!

These two words were perfectly embodied in every detail, from the murals on the walls to the artworks on display, even the tables and chairs were intricately carved.

Dining in such a place made Duo Duo feel a little uncomfortable. Having seen so many scenes of lavish eating and drinking, she felt somewhat restrained in this atmosphere. "

We'd like a private room," Lucy said, walking confidently to the bar.

Yana suddenly added, "A room facing the street, by the window."

Behind the bar was an elderly elf with a kind face, exuding a friendly aura.

Seeing Lucy, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "It's been a long time since you've been here."

Lucy said with a grin, "I just returned to Giant Tree City, Grandpa Asu. I was so eager to come back that I drooled all the way here!"

"Really?" "Haha, then I'll cook for you myself today," Grandpa Asu laughed heartily.

Lucy stuck out her tongue, swallowed dramatically, and said, "Wow, we're in for a treat today!"

"Are those your friends?" asked Old Man Asu.

Lucy glanced at Duo Duo and nodded shyly.

Seeing Lucy's reaction, Old Man Asu was even more pleased and said, "Looks like I'll have to work harder today, at least to give our princess some face."

"Grandpa Asu, you're just trying to embarrass me..." Lucy stamped her foot. "Grandpa Asu, you're just trying to embarrass me..." Lucy said, stamping her foot.

Old Man Asu laughed heartily and said, "Go upstairs quickly, I'll prepare right away. Grandpa Asu will show off his skills at noon!"

With that, Old Man Asu beckoned a half-elf youth in a clean uniform, instructing him to lead Lucy and the others to a private room upstairs by the window facing the street. He then greeted Lucy and headed towards the kitchen.

Duo Duo and the others followed the half-elf servant to a private room on the third floor by the window facing the street. The half-elf servant respectfully prepared a cup of sweet plum water for Duo Duo and the others before leaving the room.

Dodo chuckled, "Looks like half-elves are better suited to be waiters in restaurants..." Lucy giggled, "They're much better than you! Even when serving others, you're always thinking about something else. If a pretty female customer comes in, aren't your eyes always wandering to her chest?" Dodo

blushed, chuckled dryly, and said, "You're wronging me."

Lucy said, "How am I wronging you? I've seen it."

Dodo chuckled shamelessly, "Let me tell you, I usually glance at her butt first, then her chest..." Lucy blushed again, and said coquettishly, "Have you no shame! You fatso! You lecher!"

Yana and the Wanderer couldn't help but chuckle.

Dodo said mischievously, "That was before. Now I wouldn't even glance at you. With you guys around, what woman could possibly catch my eye?"

Although Lucy, Yana, and the wandering spirit knew that Duo Duo's words were just to please them, they still couldn't help but feel a sweet warmth in their hearts.

After a moment, Lucy suddenly asked, "Fatty, what's all this secrecy about in the palace? You should tell me by now!"

Duo Duo laughed, "My little princess has quite the temper."

"Tell me, tell me quickly..." Lucy walked to Duo Duo's side, sat in his lap, and kept rubbing against him, acting coquettishly. Her soft, delicate body made Duo Duo's temper rise, and he felt overwhelmed, wishing he could take this little girl right there and then .

Although Duo Duo vaguely guessed something, he wasn't sure and still had some doubts.

He turned his head and waved to Yana, who obediently sat down beside him, letting Duo Duo's large hands play with her breasts through her clothes.

"Yana, you should reveal the mystery now." Duo Duo smiled, slipped his hand inside Yana's collar, and truly felt the softness of Yana's large breasts. "

The feeling of home in Chapter 503

..." Yana groaned, her body limp as she leaned against Duo Duo, adjusting her position to make it easier for him to touch her.

After a moment's hesitation, Yana said, "That Booker is a member of the Night Elf race... Ah?"

Lucy exclaimed in surprise. She was already astonished by Yana's connection with Booker of the Temple of Nature, but now, hearing that Booker of the Temple of Nature was actually a Night Elf, she was even more incredulous!

Lucy absolutely refused to believe that the Temple of Nature would take in a Night Elf. That meant Booker was an imposter, but if he was an imposter, how could he have infiltrated the palace of the Giant Tree Elf Empire and convinced everyone there?

Duo Duo was also very surprised. Currently, his connection with the Night Elves was extremely close, but he knew nothing about Elder Mora.

Yana told Duo Duo about Elder Mora in detail, based on what she had heard, and then gazed at him, clearly seeking her master's instructions.

Dodo paused, momentarily stunned. Just because of a disagreement, they'd fallen apart?

But now, it seemed the Night Elf race had already abandoned its former traditions and was subservient to him.

Of course, he could only think these things to himself; Dodo didn't want to hurt Yana's pride… After a moment's thought, Dodo said, "That Booker isn't stupid. He should know he'd come looking for us. Let's keep an eye on the window. When he arrives, everything will be clear."

Lucy remained silent, a hint of anger in her eyes. Booker was an imposter. And he acted so mysteriously. Lucy began to suspect that Booker was responsible for her brother's current state.

Dodo, seeing Lucy's expression, understood her thoughts. He didn't want the relationship Lucy and Yana had just built to completely collapse because of this, or even worse. "

My little princess. When Booker arrives, everything will be clear! If it really was him, that would be a good thing! Would he dare disobey Yana?" "Then let Yana order him to heal your brother. If he doesn't listen, at least we know the source, and I'll naturally do everything to your satisfaction," Duo Duo said softly.

Lucy's expression softened slightly.

After thinking about it carefully, she realized Duo Duo's words made sense. If they had been kept in the dark, her brother's death would have been inexplicable. Now that they had found the cause, there would always be a solution.

Lucy began to look forward to Booker's arrival. Looking at Duo Duo beside her, she was full of confidence in her brother's safety.

A moment later, footsteps approached, followed by the fragrant aroma of food, making Duo Duo and the others' mouths water and their stomachs rumble.

So, everyone looked expectantly at the door of the private room, wondering what kind of dishes could emit such a fragrance.

"Your Highness, have you been waiting long?" Old Man Asu's warm voice rang out, followed by a tray with several delicate dishes as he entered the private room.

Lucy blushed slightly and tried to sit up in Duo Duo's arms, but Duo Duo held her tightly. Helpless, she looked at Old Man Asu with a flushed face and said, "Grandpa Asu, I wasn't hungry when I arrived, but the aroma of your food has made my stomach rumble."

Old Man Asu chuckled, "Am I that hungry?"

Lucy replied, "If you don't believe me, ask them. Heh heh, didn't you see their eyes widen? They're probably practically drooling."

Old Man Asu had already noticed the unusual relationship between Lucy and Duo Duo, but seeing their unabashed intimacy only reinforced his suspicions. He couldn't help but glance at his future son-in-law a few more times.

The wandering soul stepped forward to help Old Man Asu set the dishes on the table. Anyone would feel a sense of warmth towards such a kind old man, let alone an orphan like the wandering soul.

Her diligence naturally earned Old Man Asu's praise.

The dishes were exquisitely prepared, a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate; just looking at them made one's mouth water, as Lucy had said.

Lucy wanted to politely invite Old Man Asu to dine with them, but remembering they had other matters to attend to, she hesitated and remained silent.

Old Man Asu, being perceptive, exchanged a few casual pleasantries before leaving the private room.

Duo Duo smiled and said, "My little princess, you seem to know him quite well."

Lucy pouted and said, "Of course! Grandpa Asu was my grandfather's former bodyguard. After my grandfather passed away, my father wanted to bestow an official title upon him, but he refused, saying he had been busy his whole life and should do something he enjoyed. That's why he opened this restaurant here. I'm not bragging, Grandpa Asu is definitely the best chef in Giant Tree City."

Her words had barely left her lips when her eyes widened.

While she was speaking, Duo Duo had lost patience and, unable to resist the temptation of the food, rushed to the table to satisfy his hunger.

While You Hun and Yana weren't as boorish as Duo Duo, they too eagerly began to sample the food.

Lucy stomped her foot and, with a playful groan, joined in.

Led by Duo Duo, the beauties seemed to be infected by the trend, each losing some of their reserve. Hmm… this felt good. Someone once said that the best food is the hardest to come by, and this kind of scrambling created a special, intimate atmosphere.

It could be said that Duo Duo had never tasted such delicious food in either his past or present life. In his past life, he was a low-level wage earner, struggling to maintain basic sustenance, let alone enjoying fine cuisine.

In this life, the food in the slave market was worse than pig swill. Later, at the Banbu Duo Restaurant, things improved considerably, but the fast-food style of the Banbu Duo Restaurant couldn't compare to this.

Yana, too, had lived a difficult life with the Night Elves since birth, barely managing to get enough to eat; gourmet food... was out of the question.

The Wanderer fared somewhat better; her family was wealthy in her childhood, but a tragic accident destroyed her family, and she had endured hardship for many years. Even when she had the means to enjoy fine food, her heart was filled with hatred, and everything tasted bland. Only after meeting Duoduo did her mindset change, and her attitude towards life began to shift.

As for Lucy, needless to say, she was used to such delicious food, but after spending so long at the Half-Step Restaurant, her cravings had tormented her.

Unfortunately, Old Man Asu's cuisine was more about quality than quantity; after a whirlwind of eating, the few exquisite dishes were already empty, but Duoduo was still not satisfied.

Looking at the clean plate, Duoduo turned to look at Yana, the Wanderer, and Lucy, and suddenly laughed.

Lucy scolded, "You fatso, what are you grinning about?"

Dodo opened his arms and said, "My women, come here!"

Youhun, Yana, and Lucy walked up to Dodo with a puzzled look, only to be embraced by him. Dodo buried his head in Yana's chest, and after a moment, looked up and said, "This feels so good. I feel like I have a home."

Yana, Youhun, and Lucy felt a surge of warmth. Lucy laughed, "Is it just about fighting over food?"

Dodo shook his head and said, "It's the intimacy that comes from fighting over food. Only when we're together can we feel this way. We...we'll be together forever!

Forever together!"

Lucy, Youhun, and Yana said in unison, then nestled against Dodo, enjoying the peaceful tranquility.

After a moment, Dodo said, "Yana, you should look out the window. Booker will probably be here soon."

Yana nodded, got up, grabbed a chair, and sat down by the window, staring intently outside.

After a long time, Yana turned back and said, "He's here."

Duo Duo got up and walked to Yana's side, looking outside. She saw Booker wearing a long robe, the high collar obscuring half his face. If it weren't for Yana's Dark Elf senses, it would have been difficult to recognize him at first glance. "

Tell him you're here," Duo Duo whispered.

Yana nodded, activating the Death Spider Queen's energy to send a subtle message. Booker looked up sharply, saw Yana at the window, nodded slightly, and went straight into the Laughing Restaurant.

After a series of hurried footsteps, Booker entered a private room. Before he could speak, Old Man Asu hurriedly followed, saying, "Sir, there's already someone here." "

Grandpa Asu, he's here to see us," Lucy said.

Old Man Asu then stopped, looked at the strangely dressed Booker, muttered something, and left the private room. "

The current Fourth Elder, Booker, greets Her Highness the Holy Maiden!" Booker respectfully bowed and said.

In Chapter 504,

during the interrogation, Yana displayed absolute authority, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor in front of Duo Duo. She nodded slightly and asked, "What generation are you?"

Booker replied, "Counting from Elder Mora, I'm the seventh generation."

Yana pointed to the chair beside Booker and said, "Sit down." "

Thank you, Your Highness." Booker turned and sat down.

Yana stared at Booker and said, "I need an explanation, an explanation for your actions in the Giant Tree Empire's palace."

Booker glanced at Duo Duo and the others, his eyes filled with doubt, and remained silent for a long time.

Yana angrily said, "Are you defying my orders?! You should know that any member of the Night Elf race will have their life taken at the whim of the Death Spider Queen!"

Booker's body trembled violently. He looked up at Yana and said, "Your Highness, Booker dares not disobey your orders, but this matter is of utmost importance!"

Yana's expression softened slightly as she said, "It's alright, there are no outsiders here. Just speak."

Dodo was puzzled by Yana's attitude. One would expect her to be more polite upon reuniting with a long-lost member of her tribe, but Yana showed no respect for Booker, acting quite coldly.

Dodo didn't realize that he was subjectively confusing Yana's attitude towards him with her attitude towards others. Yana was likely only ever so docile and cat-like towards him; her attitude towards others would be completely different. The Night Elf Saintess, who inherited the power of the Death Spider Queen, was always a transcendent being. Moreover, Yana was deliberately trying to intimidate Booker, especially since Elder Mora's faction had been absent for too long. She wanted to test whether Booker's respect was genuine or feigned.

"Your Highness. My ancestor, Elder Mora, left the tribe in a fit of anger, and remained resentful until his death..." Booker unexpectedly encountered the Holy Maiden of the Night Elf Clan, and her attitude towards him seemed rather unfriendly, making him somewhat nervous and momentarily at a loss for words. He only wanted to explain the situation in the most detail possible to satisfy the Holy Maiden.

Yana waved her hand, interrupting Booker, and frowned, saying, "Let's talk about these things later. Right now, I just want to know how you got into the palace of the Giant Tree Elf Empire, and what your purpose was."

Booker hesitated, then forced a smile and said, "I impersonated someone from the Elf Temple to enter the palace. My purpose was to blackmail the king. To launch a coup..." Lucy suddenly exclaimed. She rushed in front of Booker, grabbed his collar, and shouted sharply, "Did you do that to my brother?!"

With Yana by his side, even though Lucy's actions were a bit excessive, Booker didn't dare to act rashly and could only look at Yana with a wry smile.

Dodo got up and walked to Lucy's side, gently hugging her and whispering, "My little princess, don't get excited, let him finish. Don't worry! I'll take care of everything!"

"You…you have to help me…" Lucy looked at Dodo with teary eyes, like a wronged child. Dodo felt

a pang of heartache, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, which he deliberately made sure Booker saw, before coldly saying, "My little princess. Don't worry. Anyone who dares to bully you, I'll take their life!" He then gave Booker a cold look and carried Lucy back.

To be fair, Booker's abilities, even if not as good as Dodo's, probably weren't far off; after all, he was one of the current elders of the Dark Elf race.

But Dodo's cold gaze sent a shiver down his spine, as if he had encountered his nemesis.

This should be attributed to Yana. Dodo carries Yana's aura and some of the Death Spider Queen's energy. For any member of the Night Elf race, the Death Spider Queen's energy is a divine skill, instilling an instinctive fear. "

How did you impersonate someone from the Temple of Nature?" Dodo asked in a deep voice. This was the question he was most curious about. Everyone knew the Temple of Nature was the place of worship for the Great Elves, completely opposed to the Night Elves. While Booker's concealment ability might fool ordinary Great Elves, it was likely to be exposed by the experts within the Temple of Nature.

Not only was Dodo curious, but Yana and Lucy were also extremely curious. The Wanderer was an exception, as she didn't know much about the Temple of Nature or the Night Elves.

Booker looked at Dodo with suspicion, wondering about this person's identity. That morning, he had seen the Holy Maiden seem to obey him in the palace, and Booker's suspicions were no less than Dodo's. "

I'm asking you a question," Yana said.

Booker gave a helpless, bitter smile. Sigh… He was an elder himself, yet now he was being interrogated like a prisoner. What could he do? He had encountered Her Highness the Saintess. Elder Mora had cursed his descendants before his death. Even though the Mora lineage had left the Night Elves, they were not allowed to betray them. Everything they did was for the sake of the entire Night Elf race, and their dying wish was for the Mora lineage to return to the tribe.

Booker said, “Your Highness, it is indeed very difficult, even impossible, for us Night Elves to impersonate people from the Temple of Nature. However, with help, it is not impossible.”

Help? Who could help with such a favor? Yana asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, Duo Duo suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Recalling Booker's behavior that morning, she blurted out, “Duke Os!”

Booker's body trembled, and he looked at Duo Duo in astonishment. His behavior had already told everyone that Duo Duo was right.

Heavens! How could this be! "Lucy exclaimed in shock! Booker's impersonation of someone from the Temple of Nature to enter the palace was clearly ill-intentioned, but the person who helped him do such a heinous thing was actually her kindest uncle, Duke Os! You're spreading rumors!" Lucy said angrily, her pretty face turning deathly pale.

Duo Duo sighed inwardly. The fleeting look of horror on Booker's face when they mentioned staying at Duke Os's residence that morning had already proven everything. He suddenly remembered the hypocrites in the movies and television shows he'd seen in his previous life—weren't they all pretending to be virtuous and righteous, but secretly harboring dark and sinister intentions?

Not to mention those truly wicked individuals, even among Duo Duo's colleagues in his previous life, there were plenty of two-faced individuals. Duo Duo

gently patted Lucy's back and said softly, "Let's hear what she has to say first, honey, don't get agitated, okay?"

Then, Duo Duo asked, "How did Duke Os help you impersonate someone from the Temple of Nature? What was his purpose? Was there some kind of deal between you two?"

"Dodo's questions are very comprehensive. In TV dramas or movies from my past life, these were really old-fashioned plots. If you didn't know how to handle them

, you'd be a complete idiot," Booker said. "I don't really know how he did it. I only know that when he notified me to enter the palace, everyone was already convinced that I came from the Temple of Nature. As for the deal, I'll use Purgatory to force the king to abdicate!" "

What exactly is Purgatory?" the wandering spirit suddenly asked. As someone who practiced necromancy, she was very interested in such vicious magic. "

Purgatory is a dark magic that tortures souls. It also has a greater function: it can easily infect the souls of the person being cast on through their bloodline, making even their closest relatives unable to resist Purgatory's invasion," Booker said. "

Holy crap!

This is terrifying! It

's practically a super contagious disease among direct blood relatives..." Dodo couldn't help but gasp inwardly. "

Tell me in detail," Dodo said.

Booker coughed twice and said, "The prince was practicing the magic book given to him by Duke Os when I secretly planted the Purgatory spell on him. The magic book had a deliberate flaw in its cultivation process, causing the prince's magic immunity and resistance to be almost zero at that moment! Using the prince's bloodline, I could easily attack the king, but unfortunately, the king's magic cultivation was too powerful, and his magic immunity made it impossible to find any opportunity to attack... At that time, Duke Os told me that the king's most beloved daughter had never practiced any magic... so there was no question of magic immunity..." When Booker finished speaking, everyone understood that the king's change stemmed from Booker's coercion, and that he wasn't worried about himself, but about Lucy, who had never practiced magic.

Lucy burst into tears, burying herself in Duo Duo's arms, her body trembling. Between sobs, she murmured, "Father, I wronged you... Father..." Duo Duo comforted her repeatedly, turning to look at You Hun. You Hun also stepped forward, softly consoling Lucy. Recalling her own past, also persecuted by villains, You Hun's eyes reddened, glistening with tears.

Seeing the two women grieving over this, Duo Duo felt a surge of anger. He coldly glanced at Booker, stood up, and asked, "What good does this do you?"

(Chapter 505: Negotiation.

Duke Os and the Silver Eagle Prince promised that once their goals were achieved, they would grant the Dark Elf race a rich land for their survival!) Booker spoke these words calmly, believing he had done nothing wrong; everything was for the tribe. The

Silver Eagle Prince? Duo Duo exclaimed in surprise, "The Silver Eagle Prince of the Garo Empire?"

Yana was also astonished, asking, "How did this get involved with the Silver Eagle Prince of the Garo Empire again?"

Booker asked, "Your Highness, are you aware of Elder Mora's opinion back then?"

Yana nodded and said, "I know."

"After we left our tribe, we embarked on a long journey, searching for a powerful force to rely on and achieve our goals... Eventually, we ended up in the human-controlled Garo Empire..." Booker recounted everything in detail: the hardships the Mora lineage endured after leaving the tribe, their longing for their people, and their determination to change their situation... Finally, he mentioned that by chance, the Mora lineage decided to submit to the Garo Empire. "For many years, we have served the Garo Empire's royal family, and they have provided us with a comfortable life. During this time, we have never given up searching for our people..." Booker said softly. "

You have been serving the Garo Empire's royal family all this time? If so, there should have been no word of it." Yana asked doubtfully. Her doubts were justified; night elves were already a rare race, and if such a race were serving the royal family, it would have caused a huge uproar long ago. "

We are the shadows of the royal family; only the rulers and heirs know of our existence. They call us Shadow Assassins..." Booker said.

Then, Booker added, "We do all sorts of clandestine tasks, like eliminating dissidents and assassinating important figures in rival nations."

Yana looked at Booker's expressionless face and felt a pang of sadness; her people had been used as tools by others for years—a deadly weapon. "

How did you get involved with Prince Silver Eagle?" Duoduo asked.

Booker said, "The Garo Empire was under the dictatorship of Queen Qing. The old emperor, bedridden for years, couldn't stop her violent autocracy. Prince Silver Eagle found us because he's the heir and one of our clients, so we helped him." Duoduo asked

doubtfully, "You mean... Prince Silver Eagle suddenly turned around... and you were the ones who defeated Queen Qing's regime?" "

Yes," Booker nodded, "We killed Queen Qing's loyal supporters and secretly helped Prince Silver Eagle, on the condition of a fiefdom he promised."

Duoduo scoffed, "Serving the royal family, getting a fiefdom isn't easy, is it? Why are you only promising it now?"

Booker sighed and said, "I hope our Night Elf fiefdom is on elven territory!"

Dodo's heart skipped a beat, connecting all of Booker's words, a thread gradually forming in his mind. He asked, "You mean the Silver Eagle Prince has already colluded with Duke Os?"

Booker nodded and said, "That's right. The two are cooperating. The Silver Eagle Prince will first help Duke Os gain control of the Giant Tree Elf Empire. Once Duke Os becomes the King of the Giant Tree Elf Empire, they will cooperate. The Silver Eagle Prince will lend Duke Os a powerful warrior legion, while Duke Os will provide the Garo Empire with a powerful mage legion! You know, these are precisely what both sides lack. Then, the Silver Eagle Prince will unify the human territories, and Duke Os will become the ruler of the entire elven territory.

This is quite a clever scheme… With both sides working together so cunningly, it's actually possible they'll succeed. The only thing Dodo can't understand is, if Duke Os really implements these conspiracies, how will the Temple of Nature react? Will the Temple of Nature just let them do this?" Dodo

was increasingly confused. He really couldn't be bothered with this kind of thing, but he had no choice. It concerned Lucy, and he couldn't stand idly by; he had to do his best. "

Can Purgatory be lifted?" Dodo suddenly asked.

Booker paused, then nodded, but didn't reveal anything. Elder Mora's lineage had been lying low in the Garo Empire for many years, acting as someone else's tool, all for the sake of having a hiding place while waiting for an opportunity to gain the greatest benefit for the entire Night Elf race.

This was clearly a perfect opportunity!

You see, the Night Elves harbored a deep hatred for the Great Elves. Now, they could both torment the Great Elf royal family and achieve their own goals—it was a win-win situation. Booker had no intention of giving up; he had even already decided to give his life for this plan. "

Then lift the Prince's Purgatory." Dodo, out of consideration for Yana, pleaded in his words.

Booker hesitated for a moment, then shook his head without speaking. He had already discerned the close relationship between the elven man and the Holy Maiden. While wondering how his tribe's Holy Maiden could be involved with a High Elf, he also refused Dodo's request.

A

surge of anger rose in Dodo's chest. Since gaining immense power, Dodo had never been so submissive in front of anyone, yet this was his first rejection.

Dodo's face darkened, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

Lucy was his woman, but so was Yana. He couldn't bring himself to harm one woman for the sake of another. He had to find a way to resolve this perfectly.

Dodo gestured to Yana, who walked to his side. "

You are the Holy Maiden of the Dark Elf race, can't you lift the spell of Purgatory?" Dodo asked softly.

Yana shook her head helplessly and said, "Master, Purgatory isn't a skill of our Night Elf race. They must have acquired the cultivation method somewhere else and learned it later. I can't help them."

Duo Duo smiled and nodded, saying, "This matter needs to be resolved. Don't speak, just listen to me."

Yana was also troubled by this. Although she appeared cold to Booker on the surface, it was merely to maintain her dignity as a saintess. In truth, seeing her long-lost clansmen filled her with immense joy.

Booker's rejection of Duo Duo had made Yana's heart leap into her throat. Torn between her master and her people, Yana had no choice.

Now, Duo Duo was taking on everything, and how to resolve such a thorny issue was a mystery to her. Seeing Booker's resolute attitude and his motives being for the sake of the entire Night Elf race, Yana absolutely couldn't resort to any forceful methods to coerce him. Seeing Duo Duo's confidence, Yana breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt somewhat puzzled.

Dodo composed himself, smiled, and pulled up a chair, sitting down opposite Booker with an air of authority.

"You're cooperating with Prince Silver Eagle and Duke Os so that you can have a piece of rich land belonging to the Night Elves in the elven territory in the future, isn't that right?" Dodo asked.

Booker glanced at Dodo and nodded, saying, "Yes." "

For this fiefdom, you became a tool of humans, making an exception to cooperate with the Great Elves. In other words, you're willing to pay any price to achieve your goal, is that right?" Dodo asked again.

Booker sighed deeply and said, "The moment Elder Mora's lineage left the tribe, they were already absolutely traitors to the entire Night Elf race for the sake of the tribe. I'm willing to pay any price!"

These words were very frank, and not only Yana, but even Dodo admired them. Apart from that scoundrel Monrek, the loyalty of all the Night Elves was beyond question.

Dodo smiled; his mind gradually cleared, and it seemed the problem wasn't so difficult to solve.

Dodo's smile gave everyone a sense of mystery, leaving them wondering what he was planning.

Booker was especially curious, wanting to know what methods this elven man would use to persuade him, but at the same time, he was determined not to compromise even when faced with force, because this day was far too important for Elder Mora's lineage. "

Don't you think your plan is full of detours and has a very small chance of success? It includes many hidden dangers that could make your plan fail," Dodo said. "

What?" Booker looked at Dodo curiously.

Dodo said, "First, you used Purgatory to blackmail the King of the Giant Tree Elf Empire. What if he disregards the lives of his children and uses ruthless methods to kill you? Well, you might say Duke Os will help, but right now he's clearly in the stage of accumulating strength to prepare for a coup. If the King takes a hard line, he will immediately sever ties with you to avoid getting burned, and even… killing you might become a bargaining chip for him to curry favor with the King!

"

Booker's expression changed. He had considered all of Dodo's points.

But what could he do?

The only thing he could do was gamble everything. Even if he failed, at least he had tried, and he was willing to die!

Dodo glanced at Booker and smiled, "That's just the first point. Think about it again. Even if everything goes smoothly, and Duke Os successfully seizes power and rules the entire elven territory, will he really keep his promise and give you a fiefdom?" "You know, the Great Elves harbor immense hatred for the Night Elves. If he grants you land, let alone the Temple of Nature, do you think the people in the elven territories would agree?"

Booker's facial muscles twitched a few times as he said, "Duke Os said he will rule the elven territories with an iron fist. In the history of iron-fisted dictatorships, the people dared not raise any objections to their rulers..." Dodo sneered, "You don't know Duke Os's character, do you? Look how cleverly he's disguised himself! Benevolent, kind, talented... He dares to launch a coup only because of his excellent reputation among the people and his good relationships with the powerful, right? You're just a tool. Don't think he'll lose his reputation and his vested interests with those powerful people because of a tool!"

Dodo's words were cold and precise, each one piercing Booker's heart. These were the things he feared most, and the things that were very likely to happen.

The reason he was taking this gamble was simply because he had been lying low for too many years; he could no longer wait. He had encountered an opportunity, even with numerous dangers. He was going to give it his all. If he succeeded, he would become a legendary figure who changed the fate of the Night Elves, forever etched in their history. Even if he failed, he would be a tragic hero!

Booker's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. His eyes bloodshot, and his well-hidden Night Elf aura began to leak out due to his overwhelming emotions. "

I... what can I do? Do you think we're willing to be someone else's tools? We yearn to return to our tribe! We want to return to the embrace of the Night Elves! But we were the ones who left back then! If we go back like this, what face will we have? We can't wait any longer. This is the only chance we have, no matter the outcome. We all want to try!" Booker said hoarsely.

Dodo suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter left everyone bewildered.

"It seems your fate is truly remarkable..." Dodo gazed at Booker and said, "You've met your Holy Maiden, so let your Holy Maiden announce that Elder Mora's lineage is immediately returning to the Night Elf race... As for your plan, how about I replace it with a better, more complete one?" Dodo said in a deep voice.

Yana understood Dodo's meaning, walked to Dodo's side, and gazed at Booker, saying, "Elder Booker, you're overthinking it. You yearn to return to the tribe's embrace, and the tribe, too, longs to be whole again. Every member of the tribe is an inseparable part of the Night Elf race; without you, the Night Elf race will always be incomplete! Now, as the Holy Maiden of the Night Elf race, I announce: Elder Mora's lineage has returned!"

"Holy Maiden..." Booker's lips trembled violently. His long-cherished wish of so many years had been fulfilled at this moment, and Booker was speechless with excitement. His eyes glistened with tears.

Dodo waved her hand and said, "A happy ending!" It seems Elder Booker won't be willing to abandon the current plan unless I offer a better one, will he?

Then, Duoduo said, "The Night Elves cannot be with the Great Elves. I imagine you'll be both surprised and curious when you see your Holy Maiden with us, right?"

Booker hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Duoduo secretly circulated her Nine Yang Energy, using it to force out the remaining aura of the Death Spider Queen within her body, enveloping Booker.

Booker visibly trembled, looking at Duoduo in astonishment, immediately understanding the relationship between Duoduo and Yana.

The Death Spider Queen's contract wasn't a secret among the Night Elf elders, and Booker knew this as well, but he was somewhat puzzled as to how this elven man had formed such a contract with the Holy Maiden.

Despite his doubts, when he saw the sweet smile on Yana's face, he immediately understood.

He never expected that the Night Elf Holy Maiden would form a death contract with an outsider for the first time in history, and the other party was none other than their mortal enemy, the Great Elves.

Dodo smiled and said, "Now you can trust me, and you know my relationship with your Holy Maiden, right?"

Booker stood up to bow, but Dodo waved him off, saying, "My plan avoids all dangerous elements. You should know that this beautiful lady is Princess of the Giant Tree Elf Empire, right? And the reason you can threaten His Majesty the King now is simply because of the King's immense affection for the princess."

Booker glanced at Lucy and nodded. Dodo was right.

Dodo said, "Then I'll tell you now, the relationship between the princess and me is the same as the relationship between your Holy Maiden and me."

Good heavens!

What kind of man is this?

Not only has he conquered the Holy Maiden of the Night Elf race, but he has also conquered the royal princess of the Great Elf race. Looking at that human woman, her identity must be quite astonishing, right? Booker thought to himself. "

Think about it, given the King's affection for the princess, if we were to marry, wouldn't his attitude towards me be very different? At that time, if we were to persuade the King, wouldn't the chances be much greater than if you cooperated with Duke Os now, and it would be much more peaceful?" Dodo said, "So, instead of cooperating with those bastards, it's easier to succeed by helping me!"

Booker was somewhat tempted; Dodo's method seemed much more reliable than his own.

He had only chosen to cooperate with Duke Os and his group out of desperation before, but now there was a better way, and he was on the side of his Holy Maiden. Only a fool wouldn't choose that.

However, it was only the Giant Tree Elf Empire; the other two kingdoms wouldn't agree… Booker expressed his concern.

Dodo laughed and said, "Duke Os dared to dream of ruling the entire elven territory, why can't I!"

These words startled even Dodo himself. To be honest, he only wanted himself and his woman to live comfortably and happily; he hadn't really thought about becoming king or conqueror. Those words had just slipped out of his mouth.

"Ah? Really?" Booker became excited, looking at Dodo with elation.

Dodo felt a headache coming on and mumbled, "Of course, I'll definitely make sure the Dark Elves live comfortably then, since your Holy Maiden is my woman." But in his heart, he thought, "Damn it, there's always a way out. Let's deal with this immediate crisis first, and take it one step at a time.

" After this conversation, Booker no longer had any doubts.

His expression became lively, no longer the gloomy and rigid one he had been, and he asked Duo Duo how to proceed.

Duo Duo said, "When you go back later, just pretend nothing happened. We'll go to the palace again tomorrow, and I'll teach you what to do then."

Booker nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I'll go back now. Duke Os has many eyes and ears in the palace; I'm afraid I'll arouse his suspicion." Duo

Duo nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Booker stood up, bowed to Dodo and Yana, turned up his collar, and left the private room.

"Master, do you really want to unify the elven territories?" Yana asked softly.

Dodo smiled wryly, "Do you think your master has such ambition? If there were any other solution, I wouldn't do such a difficult thing. But if there's really no other way, Master, I can only grit my teeth and forge ahead. Sigh… who can blame me when my women are so important to me?"

Lucy, seeing the matter resolved, was in a much better mood. As for whether Dodo wanted to unify the territories, she didn't care. She only knew that whatever her man wanted to do, she would obey.

Hearing Dodo's words with such emotion, she let out a soft moan and threw herself into his arms, saying gently, "You fatso, you're so good to me."

Duo Duo chuckled and pinched Lucy's pert buttocks twice, saying, "I'm only so-so, your Uncle Os is the real deal! Damn it, if it weren't for Booker, we wouldn't even know how we died!"

Lucy frowned and said, "I can't believe Uncle Os is such a bad person… He's a real ruthless leader. We were lucky, but he's capable, he's been scheming and preparing for so many years, most people can't do that." Wandering Soul chimed in from the side.

Duo Duo

nodded in deep agreement, saying, "There's nothing we can do, now that we know, we won't let him succeed!" Then Duo Duo instructed, "Don't show anything unusual in front of Os, that guy is very sensitive. Lucy, especially you."

Lucy nodded and said, "I know, I won't hold you back."

Duo Duo stood up and laughed, "Not bad, not bad! Things went much better than I imagined. Although it involved some complicated matters, I'm a man, who am I afraid of! Haha... shameless!" Lucy covered her mouth and laughed.

You Hun and Yana also smiled at each other, their eyes filled with sweet satisfaction.

When Duo Duo returned to Duke Os's mansion with the three beauties, it was already evening, long past dinner time.

However, the Duke's dining room was already brightly lit, filled with the aroma of food, and Duke Os was standing at the entrance, eagerly waiting.

Upon seeing Duo Duo and the others enter the mansion, Duke Os hurriedly went to greet them, his refined face showing the anxiety of an elder: "Why did you only just return?"

Normally, Duo Duo might have thought this elder was quite nice, but now, when the mask of hypocrisy was torn off, revealing his insidious heart, Duo Duo could

n't suppress the disgust in his heart. Someone who had worked at the Banbu Duo Restaurant, his acting skills were truly exceptional.

Despite her inner contempt for Duke Os, Duoduo showed no sign of it outwardly, smiling as she said, "Giant Tree City is too bustling. Before we could fully appreciate it, it was already dark."

Duke Os laughed heartily, saying, "It's not like we only have one day. Take your time. I'll take you to a better place another day."

"Hey, what's wrong with our princess? Why does she look so pale?" Duke Os asked, looking at Lucy.

Lucy was too naive, her ability to feign incompetence was too poor, despite Duoduo's repeated admonitions. But facing Duke Os, the mastermind behind everything, she couldn't maintain her composure.

Duoduo quickly chuckled, saying, "Her Highness was scolded by His Majesty, and while shopping, she complained that I always bought cheap things to appease her! What?! She's clearly taking out her

anger from His Majesty on me!" Lucy quickly composed herself, echoing Duoduo's words, and said with a wronged expression, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault!" "I just love that beaded necklace!"

Lucy suppressed her disgust and walked to Duke Os's side. As usual, she took his arm and asked, "Uncle Os, what's wrong with my father? He just got back, and he's already scolding me like that. I've already apologized for running away!"

With Lucy and Dodo's help, the doubts in Duke Os's eyes disappeared, and he chuckled, "My princess... she's about to become someone else's wife, why is she still acting like a child? His Majesty's mood is probably affected by the prince's health, isn't it? What, you really like that beaded necklace? How about Uncle Os gives it to you?" "

No, I want him to give it to me! You stingy fellow!" Lucy pouted and glared at Dodo.

Duke Os laughed heartily and said to Dodo, "See? You're the one who made our princess angry. Go buy that beaded necklace for her tomorrow. If you have any financial difficulties, feel free to borrow from me."

Dodo nodded with a smile, secretly pleased. "Damn, this little panda's disguise isn't bad at all. Since Os has said so, I'll just treat him like a living bank for now… Haven't you had dinner yet? Come in with me quickly," Duke Os said warmly.

To be honest, Dodo and the others didn't have much of an appetite, their minds preoccupied with tomorrow's trip to the palace.

However, at Dodo's prompting, they all pretended to be very hungry as they entered the dining room, even though the food was tasteless, they still feigned praise. "

I've already ordered dinner for the others to be sent to their rooms," Duke Os said.

Dodo said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Your Highness. Hehe, I'm so sorry."

Duke Os laughed, "Why are you being so polite with me? Lucy is someone I've watched grow up; in my heart, she's almost like my daughter." Hearing this, Dodo and Lucy almost vomited up all the food they had just stuffed into their stomachs, and could only mumble their thanks repeatedly.

After dinner, Duke Os intended to invite Duo Duo and the others to another noble's residence for entertainment, but Lucy declined, saying she was too tired from shopping all day and needed to rest.

Duke Os didn't insist, and after some pleasantries, ordered a servant to escort Duo Duo and the others back to their small house in the backyard.

Ugh… As soon as the servant left, after confirming no one was around, Duo Duo dramatically gagged, saying, "I've seen hypocrites, but I've never seen anyone this hypocritical."

Lucy said with lingering fear, "Throughout dinner, I was really worried I wouldn't be able to control myself and would pounce on him and strangle him!"

Duo Duo laughed, "It's a good thing you didn't, otherwise it would have been troublesome later. That bastard made detailed preparations."

As they were talking, a series of light footsteps suddenly sounded outside. Duo

Duo went to the window and looked out, seeing the charming and sophisticated Duchess Martha, led by a servant, walking briskly towards their small house.

Dodo felt a headache coming on. Although Lucy and the others didn't object to his philandering, shouldn't he at least know his limits? Now, his mistress had come knocking, and Dodo blushed slightly. "

Duchess Martha…" Lucy said softly, then glared at Dodo. Dodo and Duchess Martha had disappeared together at the banquet—one was her lecherous man, the other the infamous Duchess. It would be strange if they did something like that.

Dodo felt awkward and gave a dry laugh. To avoid escalating the embarrassment, he turned and walked out alone, heading straight to her. "

Oh, Duchess Martha, we meet again. You seem even more beautiful than yesterday," Dodo said with a gentlemanly bow, his eyes lingering on Duchess Martha's trembling, large breasts.

Dodo's unbridled gaze made Duchess Martha's heart skip a beat. The extreme pleasure from last night still lingered in her body, and that wonderful feeling was something she would never forget. Just being swept by Dodo's gaze made her body go limp.

"Yes, sir, we meet again. What a coincidence..." Duchess Martha looked at Dodo with seductive eyes, her voice soft and sweet like autumn fruit wine. "

Madam, did you come here specifically to see me? Or to see Princess Lucy?" Dodo asked. "I

came to see you. Do you have time? I'd like to speak with you alone for a while," Duchess Martha said with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Dodo chuckled, turning his head to look at the second-floor window. He saw Lucy, Yana, and the wandering soul standing in front of the window, looking in this direction, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Duchess Martha said urgently, "Really, I really have something urgent to discuss with you..." Dodo hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly. After all, they had shared a night of passion, and he had even given her son a good beating. It would be too much to refuse even this much face. "

Alright, Your Excellency, please follow me." "Dodo said in a low voice," then turned and walked towards Alice and the others' quarters. He was afraid that if he went back upstairs, Lucy, who was already in a bad mood, would become even more jealous and punish him after Madam Martha left.

Alice, Maria, and the others sat in the room. Duke Os didn't know their identities and only assumed they were Dodo's concubines, so he treated them with the same hospitality as Dodo and Lucy, both in terms of food and lodging.

In fact, this kind of life had been like paradise recently.

It was much better than the cellars in the Dark Elf encampment, and far better than being stuffed into a bundle on the road. However, these physical pleasures did not bring Alice and Maria any happiness, but rather utter despair.

Alice could never have imagined that the ordinary elven girl was actually the princess of this elven empire... Recalling her past harshness towards Lucy, she was already grateful that she hadn't suffered any retribution.

Maria's intelligence network, though vast, was limited to human territory. She lacked the ability to control the archetypes; those self-proclaimed noble and elegant archetypes would never serve under her as undercover agents.

Therefore, upon entering elven territory, she knew escape was likely impossible. Moreover, her kind father, manipulated by that devil, was now glaring at them with undisguised murderous intent. Clearly, if they made any rash moves, her father would be the first to raise his sword.
