Half-Step Multiple Desires Legend (Complete) - 36

In Chapter 531,

the tailor had already taken his measurements for the suit, leaving him with nothing else to do. As for the troublesome task of tasting the dishes, Duo Duo would naturally find excuses to avoid it; Lucy was enough, and besides, Duo Duo's goals were all based on Lucy's preferences.

Around noon,

Duo Duo led Yana out of the palace and headed towards Duchess Martha's residence.

It should be added that Duchess Martha's husband, the proper Duke, had died of illness in the first month after Duchess Martha's marriage. Because of this, many rumors circulated that Andrei was not a descendant of the Duke, but rather the result of Duchess Martha's infidelity.

Members of the family had racked their brains trying to expel Duchess Martha, but Duchess Martha was cunning and used her connections to rely on many powerful backers. In the end, the family members failed, and instead, Duchess Martha used her methods to seize much of their wealth.

This is just gossip, worth mentioning briefly, but there's no need to elaborate. The Duchess of Martha's shrewdness is evident from her status over the years.

The Martha family is very old, as can be seen from the appearance of their mansion, but its grandeur also speaks volumes about the owner's historical standing.

When Dodo brought Yana to the gate, the guards, though trying to stop them, were extremely polite and even recognized Dodo, claiming his family had been in the central square at the time, and that Dodo had become their idol.

Andrei was drinking alone in the restaurant.

Loneliness, emptiness, and other emotions made him very irritable, and he couldn't muster any energy.

At the banquet at Commander Soth's house, he experienced feelings he had never felt before. Those companions who used to laugh and joke with him, at least outwardly, seemed to suddenly not recognize him that night.

Especially the contemptuous looks from many people, which drove him to the brink of madness.

Spoiled by his past, Andri couldn't bear the disparity, especially since Duoduo, who had promised him the most beautiful dreams, ignored him at the banquet.

Andri gulped down a glass of fruit wine. His bloodshot eyes scanned the surroundings, frightening the maids.

When a guard announced Duoduo's arrival, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Andri's eyes, and he seemed to instantly perk up.

He hurriedly straightened his clothes and asked the maids if his attire was proper. This sudden change in attitude terrified the maids, who retreated, stammering unsure what to say.

Only when Andri realized his behavior was utterly foolish did he curse harshly and rush out to greet Duoduo.

Andri acted with extreme humility upon seeing Duoduo.

Ever since the Great Tree Emperor's rule-breaking declaration at the Soth family banquet, everyone could see that the Great Tree Emperor was determined to elevate Duoduo at all costs.

This rising star of the Great Tree Empire was ascending at breakneck speed.

Andri wasn't stupid. He treasured the promises Duoduo had given him, and his disappointment stemmed from Duoduo's indifference at the banquet. But now, Duoduo had come to see him in person, rekindling immense hope in his despairing heart. "

Duke Duoduo, your arrival is a great honor. The entire Duke Martha's mansion is thus honored," Andri said respectfully.

Duoduo chuckled, completely disregarding etiquette, and went straight to Andri, grabbing his hand, saying, "We're practically family! Stop with the formalities!"

Andri looked at Duoduo, somewhat flattered, and hurriedly invited him into the hall. The hall was already set out with the freshest fruit, the most delicious pastries, and fine wines by maids.

Although Andri hadn't ordered these, anyone could see that the person Andri had so hastily greeted was a VIP among VIPs!

Duoduo entered the hall and, without any ceremony, sat down in the main seat. What a joke! He was now a rising star of the empire, wasn't he? How could he not have some airs?

Sitting to his left, Andrei asked with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, "Duke Dodo, what brings you here?"

Dodo, not wanting to waste words, smiled at Andrei and said, "Do you remember my promise?"

Andrei immediately perked up and hurriedly replied, "Duke Dodo's words are my motivation!"

Dodo was very satisfied with Andrei's reaction. Some people are like that; given enough benefits, they won't hold grudges, even for past grievances. Besides, Andrei's mother, Duchess Martha, was no saint. "

Count Andrei, listen carefully now. I wish to appoint you as the deputy captain of the Royal Guard!" Dodo said solemnly.

Andrei was startled, looking at Dodo with surprise and delight. Although he was already a count, the noble title was merely a formality, lacking real power. Real power came from official positions, and he never imagined he would suddenly become the second most powerful person in the capital. "

Duke Dodo, no, Commander-in-Chief Dodo, you…you mean it?" "I'm utterly astonished," Andri said. Dodo

smiled and said, "Count Andri, do you think I'm joking? I've thought it over. This deputy position must be filled by someone I trust most. After much deliberation, I still think you're the most suitable!"

Andri excitedly stood up and said, "Duke Dodo, it's a great honor for Andri to have your trust!"

Dodo's voice suddenly turned cold, and his face instantly darkened. He said, "However, I only hope you pledge your loyalty to me! I remember my promise, which shows I'm a man of principle! Those who pledge their loyalty to me will receive immense benefits; those who betray me will only face death! Count Andri, I witnessed your situation at the banquet. Now is your chance to shock everyone again. Do you want to miss it?"

Andri bowed without hesitation and said, "Loyalty to Duke Dodo, that's my promise!"

(Chapter 532: Following the Clues)

Saintess Mulan's gaze towards Dodo changed; that indelible memory resurfaced in her mind.

She stared at Duo Duo in astonishment, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

Duo Duo, however, seemed oblivious to all of this. In his memory, Saintess Mulan had only once visited the Banbu Duo Restaurant to look for Lucy. As for the incident where he almost raped Saintess Mulan during the struggle for the Nine Yang Manual, it was all during his unconscious state, so he had no recollection of it.

Saintess Mulan carefully examined Duo Duo, then was surprised to sense a faint aura of a Dark Elf Saintess on him.

A Saintess's aura!

Indeed, as the only Saintess of the main temple, and having clashed with the Dark Elf Saintess Yana several times, Saintess Mulan would not be mistaken.

A long time ago, Saintess Mulan might have already launched an attack.

But after that incident, Saintess Mulan's attitude towards everything had changed. She began to wonder, how could this guy dare to meet her? And he seemed to have no unusual expression whatsoever. If it weren't for the Dark Elf Saintess's aura, Mulan would probably have thought she had only encountered someone with a similar appearance.

Saintess Mulan suppressed her doubts, deciding to hold off for now. She needed to ascertain this man's true identity and, more importantly, trace the clues to the Dark Elf Saintess.

After a moment's hesitation, Saintess Mulan gave Duo Duo a gentle smile, her tone understated, and simply said two words: "Thank you!"

This greatly disappointed Duoduo. After all, she was a newly risen noble, holding a high position; even a saintess shouldn't be so arrogant, right?

Unfortunately, even though Duoduo was angry, looking at Saintess Mulan's ethereal beauty seemed to dispel all his anger.

Duoduo led the way, occasionally turning back to steal glances at Saintess Mulan.

"Captain, have you taken a fancy to Saintess Mulan?" Andri, though lacking in other areas, was remarkably adept at reading people. "

You haven't?" Duoduo chuckled.

Andri quickly said, "That would be blasphemy against the Goddess of Nature. Saintess Mulan is the messenger of the Goddess of Nature..." While Andri might not behave very properly in other matters, he was exceptionally devout when it came to the Temple of Nature.

Andri, perhaps realizing this would disappoint Duoduo, quickly added with a fawning smile, "Captain, if you'd like, I'll invite you to the East Garden tonight? The women there are quite attractive." Some virgins even possess a temperament comparable to that of Saintess Mulan.

Duo Duo sneered, "Count Andrei, aren't you afraid of blaspheming Saintess Mulan with these words?"

Andrei chuckled, "I wasn't targeting Saintess Mulan; I was just making a comparison because of the Chief Guard's attitude."

Due to the arrival of the Saintess of the main temple, the priests of the branch temple of the Natural Temple of the Giant Tree Elf Empire rushed to Giant Tree City to greet them.

The Giant Tree Emperor had made arrangements for this, preparing a very luxurious inn to receive them.

Two priests from the branch temple of the Giant Tree Elf Empire of the Natural Temple arrived, both reportedly powerful figures. Duo Duo looked at the two expressionless middle-aged priests and began to wonder who among them was colluding with Duke Os, according to the Giant Tree Emperor. Booker was able to gain trust upon arrival entirely because he possessed the Natural Temple's exclusive documents.

Saintess Mulan didn't speak another word to Duo Duo, but when she heard that Duo Duo was the protagonist of tomorrow's wedding, her gaze towards him became even stranger.

Around noon, both the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire and the Green Grass Elf Empire sent envoys.

And they were all old acquaintances. The Heavenly Vine Elf Empire's envoy was none other than Catherine. The Green Grass Empire's envoy was none other than Earl Campbell, whom they had met in the Suman Mountains.

These two were now powerful figures in their own countries. The fact that they would personally lead a delegation to offer congratulations for the neighboring country's princess's wedding suggested that their purpose was less about celebration and more about seeing Saint Mulan.

When Catherine saw Duo Duo, who was greeting them, and after Andri's obsequious introduction, she felt worse than if she had swallowed a fly. She couldn't believe that Duo Duo was doing so well in the Giant Tree Elf Empire, so successfully that it was enviable.

The wedding was tomorrow, but Duo Duo, who should have been preparing, seemed completely unconcerned. This fellow had taken a liking to these welcoming and sending-off ceremonies, flaunting his official position. It wasn't

until the wandering spirit came out to search for him and brought him back that he had no choice but to obediently return to his palace and begin trying on the hastily made formal attire.

It must be said, the tailor's skills were truly exceptional, worthy of royalty. Wearing the magnificent attire, Duo Duo looked even more handsome and dashing, exuding an imposing aura. "

Yana, be careful these next few days. The Holy Maiden Mulan of the Temple of Nature is here," Duo Duo whispered to Yana.

A glint flashed in Yana's eyes. She had sparred with the Holy Maiden Mulan many times before, always wanting to see whether she, the Holy Maiden of the Dark Elf race, was more powerful, or the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Nature of the Great Elf race.

To be honest, since following Duo Duo, she hadn't thought about these things for a long time, but hearing news of the Holy Maiden Mulan now, the fighting spirit deep within her began to stir again.

How could Duo Duo not see through Yana's thoughts?

He solemnly said, "Important matters come first. In the future, I will give you the best opportunity!"

Yana trembled slightly, looked at the serious-looking Duoduo, and nodded, saying, "Master, I understand."

Chapter 533: The Most Hypocritical Animal.

The Giant Tree Emperor was waiting for this opportunity to reveal everything to Saintess Mulan. Hearing her question, he immediately recounted everything that had happened in the central square. However, adhering to the principle of evidence first, the Giant Tree Emperor was quite helpless in not being able to implicate Duke Os. "

Who exactly is behind that Mr. Hillary?" Saintess Mulan asked.

Lucy was very dissatisfied with her father's roundabout way of speaking and interjected, "Besides Os, who else could it be?"

"Who is Os?" Saintess Mulan asked疑惑地. The

Giant Tree Emperor, appearing quite helpless, told Saintess Mulan everything, including how Duke Os sent people to impersonate temple members to infiltrate the palace, how he used Purgatory to harm the prince and blackmail him, forcing him to abdicate… The Giant Tree Emperor's words shocked Saintess Mulan immensely. She didn't care about the affairs of the Giant Tree Elf Empire; whoever was in power, as long as they were believers of the Temple of Nature, it was fine.

But now it seems the Temple of Nature is being used by others. People within the temple? They even dare to impersonate this? Using something like a Death Scroll for sabotage?

Saintess Mulan couldn't comprehend this. She knew that every so often, when the various branches of the Temple of Nature reported back to her, it was always a picture of peace and prosperity. "

Your Majesty, are you certain about what you've said?" Saintess Mulan asked. The

Great Tree Emperor smiled and said, "The matter concerning my country's interests will be resolved soon, but regarding matters involving the temple, I hope Your Highness will personally investigate."

Saintess Mulan hesitated and nodded. It seemed the trip to Great Tree City was far more complicated than she had imagined… When the Great Tree Emperor left the inn with Duo Duo and Lucy, he chuckled and said, "Now Os will be busy. The temple is investigating him? Ha, this is an unprecedented honor for a noble. He probably never imagined that a Death Scroll would lead to so much trouble."

"Father, where are we going?" Lucy asked.

The Great Tree Emperor said, "You two go and pay your respects to the delegations of the other two countries. I won't go.

It's perfectly acceptable for the King to personally visit the Holy Maiden, but it's obviously impossible for him to personally visit the delegations of neighboring countries. Besides, the two main protagonists of tomorrow's wedding are already giving the delegations enough face."

Catherine and Earl Campbell were each arranged to stay in two separate inns, which were extremely luxurious, their level of luxury reflecting the status of their guests.

Earl Campbell was clearly very satisfied with this arrangement. When Lucy and Toto visited in person, he was extremely warm and happy. When Toto left, Earl Campbell escorted him to the door with words of blessing. By the time they arrived at Catherine's inn, it was almost noon. The blazing sun was overhead, and the scorching sunlight made everyone sweat profusely.

Especially since Duo Duo's Nine Yang Divine Skill was an extremely yang technique, it was impervious to cold, but in this weather, he felt a stifling heat deep in his bones, making him quite uncomfortable.

He still had to visit them one by one. "Damn it, why don't they come and visit me themselves!"

Sitting in the flying horse carriage, Duo Duo wiped his sweat and grumbled.

Lucy gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, giggling, "Look at you, so stingy! They've come from afar, they're guests, of course we should visit them."

Duo Duo chuckled, "I was just saying it casually, what, you dare complain to your husband? Watch out for the family discipline tonight!"

Lucy blushed and scolded, "You can't stop talking about that kind of thing...you rascal!"

Dodo laughed heartily, pulling Lucy into his arms. His large hand reached for her breasts, but Lucy struggled, saying, "You fatso, you'll wrinkle my clothes! I'll embarrass myself!"

Just then, the carriage abruptly stopped. A guard outside announced respectfully, "Your Highness, Commander-in-Chief, we've arrived at the Tian Teng Elf Empire's residence."

Dodo paused, muttering, "Why so fast?"

He then rose to get out of the carriage, waiting for Lucy, and said fiercely, "Just wait until tonight, I'll teach you a lesson."

Lucy pouted and snorted, following behind Dodo. She then kicked him hard, nearly sending him sprawling face-first as he stepped out of the carriage. The guards nearby wanted to laugh but dared not, feeling incredibly awkward.

Catherine sat in the central hall, her beautiful face filled with a grave expression.

This was a conspiracy!

Absolutely a conspiracy!

Chapter 534: The Cooperation of Ambitious Individuals.

Catherine was anxious to arrange domestic affairs, remotely controlling her subordinates to consolidate her power, while Lucy, this naive girl, had managed to feign hypocrisy for so long, which was already quite remarkable.

When Duoduo stepped out of the inn, the sunlight softened slightly, and there was a gentle breeze on the street, much more comfortable than before. "

How is it? The weather in our elven territory is still better, isn't it?" "Ah... it feels so good to walk under a clear sky. Back in the Half-Step Inn, the weather in Mandala City was gloomy for at least five out of ten days, so stifling." Lucy, holding Duoduo's hand, looked up at the vast blue sky and said with great contentment.

Half-Step Inn... Mandala City... these two names suddenly felt very distant to Duoduo. It seemed like he hadn't thought of these two places in a long time.

Was it because he had been too busy since arriving in the Giant Tree Elf Empire, or was he too cold-hearted, having no fondness for the place he had lived in for so long?

Dodo subconsciously gazed in the direction of Mandala City, the images of Xiuzhen and Linda flashing through his mind. Then, the figures of Liumang and Pulis also appeared in his mind.

Was Liumang still endlessly crafting scrolls?

Was Pulis still eating so much?

Did they know that tomorrow was my wedding with Lucy?

As he thought about it, a feeling of melancholy suddenly arose in Dodo's heart, a faint sadness that hadn't surfaced in a long time.

He began to miss Liumang and the others.

Sigh… Dodo sighed. If he had brought Liumang with him back then, he would definitely be a good helper now. "

What's wrong? You look so pale?" Lucy asked with concern.

Dodo smiled and said, "My little princess, you will soon officially become my wife. There are many things I didn't have time to tell you in Mandala City. Do you want to hear them now?"

"Yes, yes! I want you to tell me as a story, but let's make it clear first, no embellishment or bragging!" Lucy giggled.

Dodo smiled, pulled Lucy into the carriage, and the carriage moved forward. Dodo began to ponder: Where should I begin to tell you?

While Dodo was starting to miss Hexagram

, Hexagram was also busy. During this time, the situation in Mandala City had changed drastically due to the arrival of Prince Silver Eagle.

There's a saying in the human realm: "Even a mighty dragon can't suppress a local snake." This saying is really unreasonable. A dragon that can't suppress a local snake can't be considered strong, right?

If it's truly a powerful dragon, how could it not suppress a snake?

Just like Prince Silver Eagle, although he's a passerby, he's of noble status. The Gara Empire is the number one empire in the entire human realm. It has a powerful military and a developed economy, and Prince Silver Eagle has now successfully defeated Queen Qing's party, completely seizing the throne of dictatorship.

With such a powerful dragon, which local snake can afford to offend him?

Prince Silver Eagle's entourage was extremely large, with over a thousand guards, each wielding a broadsword and wearing golden armor, looking very imposing.

The enormous carriage, pulled by thirty unicorns, looked like a mobile house.

Moreover, the unicorns themselves appeared incredibly strong and agile, moving at breakneck speed, yet the carriage itself showed no signs of shaking.

This procession caused a huge stir on its very first day in Mandala City.

Mandala City was usually bustling with merchants, but since the elven territories sealed off the Suman Mountains, the number of travelers had dwindled. Mandala City was unusually quiet.

However, the arrival of Prince Silver Eagle brought life back to the city. Prince Silver Eagle was generous and lavish, at least in his enjoyment. The previously deserted merchants saw hope and tried to make a fortune during this period.

Prince Silver Eagle's procession camped in the central square of Mandala, the former site of Maria's circus.

No one had seen Prince Silver Eagle's face. From the first day, he never left his carriage, and guards surrounded it, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Every day, purchasing officials were seen buying supplies and various luxury goods, indicating that the visit was only a brief reorganization, with the likely target being the elven territory.

This sparked much discussion among everyone. In Mandala City, the residents were a diverse mix of races.

Humans and elves were the most vocal in their speculation, guessing the Silver Eagle Prince's intentions. If the Silver Eagle Prince's target was indeed the elven territory, then he would be the first high-ranking official to visit it.

This situation remained unchanged until the third day.

After careful consideration, Sith Kane decided to proceed with his previously planned strategy.

At dusk, Sith Kane, accompanied by Brown and several burly men pulling a cart laden with gifts, arrived at the Silver Eagle Prince's residence.

He spoke to the head guard who stopped him, and the guard hurriedly entered the Silver Eagle Prince's carriage. Moments later, Sith Kane received an invitation.

The luxurious furnishings inside the carriage left even Sith Kane speechless.

Prince Silver Eagle sat lazily on a soft sofa, while the twin beauties fed him dates. Judging by his habits, these dates were probably still soaked in the twins' virgin vaginas.

Chapter 535: I'll do whatever you say.

Respected Prince, please call me Sith… Sith.” Kane said humbly.

Prince Silver Eagle laughed and said, “Then, can you tell me the whereabouts of the three princesses now?”

Sith. Kane said, “Half-Step More Restaurant…” A moment later, Sith. Kane took his leave.

Prince Silver Eagle suddenly grabbed Queen Qing and pulled her down forcefully.

Queen Qing obediently knelt on the ground, unzipped Prince Silver Eagle's pants, and began licking his erect penis as if it were a delicacy… Half-Step More Restaurant… Half-Step More Restaurant… Haha… Prince Silver Eagle muttered to himself as he enjoyed Queen Qing's service.

Evening.

Prince Silver Eagle, dressed in commoner's attire, stepped out of the carriage with only two personal attendants. After alighting, they took a long detour, avoiding the gazes of passersby, and then headed towards the Half-Step Restaurant, as instructed by Sith Kane.

At the Black Blood Society headquarters, in the garden house where Six Mang resided, Six Mang appeared even more capable than before.

During this time, he had to put aside his greatest interest—crafting magic scrolls—and focus on making money. The arrival of the Silver Eagle Prince had stimulated the economy of the entire Mandala City, and the Black Blood Society, as one of the underground gangs, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Of course, while making money, Six Mang also devoted his attention to sending out a large number of spies to guard the area around the Silver Eagle Prince's residence, constantly observing their movements.

Duo Duo's departure had made Six Mang more mature; he knew he had to rely on himself.

And this was his chance to prove himself. Six Mang was giving it his all, hoping that when his master returned, he would praise him for everything. "

Guild Master..." A thin man with a withered appearance walked in.

Six Mang raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?" "

My spies just reported that three people got out of the Silver Eagle Prince's carriage. Judging from the situation, two looked like attendants, and the other seemed to be of high status." "Guild Master, do you think it might be the Silver Eagle Prince?" "We don't even know what the Silver Eagle Prince looks like; this is just our brothers' guess." The man spoke truthfully.

Six Mang asked, "Where did they go?"

"It seems they went to the Half-Step More Inn..." the man said.

Liu Mang's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "The Half-Step More Inn?"

The man was puzzled by the guild leader's drastic change in expression and could only nod.

Before Yana left, she told Liu Mang to keep a close eye on the Half-Step More Inn and to secretly keep an eye on Alice, the owner of the inn. Although Liu Mang didn't know why Yana had given him this order, he had been carrying it out meticulously. "

Send a shrewd brother to stay at the Half-Step More Inn and report the whereabouts of those three people to me at all times!" Liu Mang decisively gave the order.

The man hurriedly nodded, turned, and quickly walked out... What a different morning.

The sky was still as blue as ever, and the sun was still as bright as ever.

However, for Duo Duo and Lucy, and even the entire Giant Tree Elf Empire, this was a significant morning. Today, the princess of the Giant Tree Elf Empire and Duke Duo Duo, the chief of the Imperial Palace Guard, were holding a grand wedding.

Just as the Great Tree Emperor had promised, although the time was somewhat rushed, the preparations would be lavish and grand.

He delivered!

After two days of busy work by all the officials in charge of the ceremony, the wedding preparations went far better than expected.

The high-ranking nobles of Giant Tree City arrived at the palace early in the morning, dressed in their finest attire and carrying valuable gifts. Those nobles from their own territories, having received the news two days prior, had mostly already arrived in Giant Tree City.

A joyous atmosphere permeated the entire city.

In Duo Duo's palace, already dressed in his groom's attire, Duo Duo began to wander around, sometimes bothering Yana, sometimes pinching the wandering soul. He was the one with the most nothing to do.

If it weren't for the rules and the fact that now wasn't the right time, Duo Duo would really like to take advantage of this wedding to marry the wandering soul too. "My little slave girl, when will your master marry you too?" Duo Duo hugged Yana from behind, his large hands starting to knead her breasts.

Yana shook her head, turning to look at Duo Duo and saying, "Master, Yana has said it before, I will only be your slave, forever your slave, that's enough."

Duo Duo hugged Yana tightly, kissing her cheek, and said softly, "My little darling, actually, in my heart you are no longer a slave."

Yana whispered, "Master, Yana knows, knowing that Master is good to me, Yana is very content." Duo Duo

said apologetically, "It's a pity you can't attend the wedding today, that Saintess Mulan is there."

Yana suddenly turned to Duo Duo with a sly smile and said, "Master, you must be careful of her." Duo Duo

was taken aback and asked, "Be careful of her? Why?

" Yana giggled and said, "There's something I've been forgetting to tell you. I thought it was unimportant, but who knew I'd run into that Mulan again, so I have to tell you."

Duo Duo asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Yana, grinning mischievously, told Duo Duo everything that happened in the cave the night they stole the Nine Yang Manual. Duo Duo's eyes widened. "I almost raped her? How come I didn't know?"

he exclaimed. Yana replied, "You were out of your mind then. You'll forget when you're sober." Duo

Duo scratched his head. "What a damn shame! Why didn't I succeed?"

Yana laughed. "Just a little bit more, and Master would have become the man who possessed the holy maidens of both the Great Elf and the Dark Elf races." Duo Duo

grinned mischievously. "No wonder she looked at me strangely. Strange, why didn't she lay a hand on me? Didn't she want revenge?"

Yana said, "That's why I told you to be careful of her."

Chapter 536: The Wedding Ceremony The

wedding ceremony began on time.

When Lucy and Duo Duo walked hand-in-hand into the wedding hall, the entire hall erupted in cheers.

What does it mean to be a perfect match?

Dodo and Lucy perfectly embodied the word. The man was handsome and tall, the woman breathtakingly beautiful. When they stood side-by-side, their faces radiant with happiness, almost all the light in the world was overshadowed by them. In everyone's eyes, only they existed.

The Great Tree Emperor and Saintess Mulan stood side-by-side at the front of the hall.

Saintess Mulan, at the invitation of the temple, had acted as the officiant and would bestow blessings upon Dodo and Lucy in the name of the Goddess of Nature. For

the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Nature to personally officiate a wedding was an immense honor; even princes and princesses from other countries had never received such treatment.

It was quite a coincidence, really; if Saintess Mulan hadn't discovered the presence of night elves in Great Tree City, she wouldn't have come here. Dodo

was a complete novice when it came to weddings. Although he had been instructed on wedding etiquette for the past few days, he was always distracted, dismissing those who spoke only a few words.

When they actually arrived at the wedding venue, Duo Duo realized this wasn't a game; there were so many rules and regulations. Luckily, Lucy was there to whisper reminders from time to time, otherwise, he would have made a complete fool of himself.

As the wedding progressed, Duo Duo couldn't help but find it somewhat laughable. In his previous life, he was practically a virgin, let alone married. Yet in this life, he not only had a stunningly beautiful female slave but also held such a grand wedding… Suddenly!

A voice rang out: "Stop!"

The voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it. Based on previous experience, this was someone skilled in wind magic.

Sigh… It's so good to know wind magic!

If I had magic like that in my previous life, megaphone manufacturers would probably go bankrupt.

Everyone, including Duo Duo, turned their gaze towards the speaker… A woman, or rather, a mature woman, possessed beauty no less than that of Duchess Martha, but without that wanton expression; she appeared quite dignified. She had an impressive bearing; one could tell at a glance that she held a high position and possessed profound refinement.

The Queen… The Queen?

Hearing the surrounding whispers, Duo Duo's eyes widened as she scrutinized the woman. This was the current Queen, the stepmother Lucy hated so much?

Come to think of it, Duo Duo had been in the palace for several days. Not only had she never seen the Queen, but she hadn't even heard the Great Tree Emperor mention her.

The reason behind this was utterly perplexing to Duo Duo. If the Great Tree Emperor also disliked the Queen, then why did he marry her?

The Queen wore a pure white gauze dress, an attire clashing with the overall color scheme of the wedding. She slowly approached the Great Tree Emperor with a detached expression

. "Your Majesty," the Queen said, bowing. "

Why have you come?" The Great Tree Emperor remained expressionless, but a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. "

Why can't I come? Don't forget, I am still the Queen of the Great Tree Elf Empire. Can't the Queen attend the wedding of the Great Tree Empire's princess?" the Queen said calmly.

Duo Duo felt the Queen's words made sense. Since he was still the nominal Queen and Lucy's stepmother, he had to tell her to get through this. But now it seemed the Great Tree Emperor hadn't told the Queen about Lucy's marriage at all. "

That wretched woman!" Lucy muttered angrily under her breath. Duo Duo

grew increasingly curious, determined to find a chance to find out the whole story. Otherwise, keeping this curiosity bottled up would be deadly.

The Queen seemed completely oblivious to the displeasure in the Great Tree Emperor's eyes, standing there with an unchanged expression, still the indifferent one who seemed to care about nothing.

The once lively wedding ceremony suddenly fell silent, the atmosphere extremely heavy.

Saintess Mulan smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, please have the Queen stand beside you, lest the wedding be delayed."

Mulan spoke up, and the Great Tree Emperor couldn't possibly refuse her request.

Moreover, many subjects were watching, and he couldn't afford to lose his composure here. Delaying Lucy's wedding would be absolutely intolerable to the Great Tree Emperor. "Come, stand beside me," the Great Tree Emperor said expressionlessly.

The Queen smiled slightly, then suddenly turned and left.

This coming and going was very short and unexpected, it seemed the Queen's arrival was just to cause trouble.

Lucy stomped her foot angrily, muttering complaints under her breath.

Dodo grabbed Lucy's small hand and said, "My bride, why are you angry with her? Alright, the wedding begins.

Everything is for the wedding!"

After a moment, the Great Tree Emperor composed himself and loudly announced that the wedding would continue.

Everything went smoothly afterward, with the most enthusiastic moment being when Saintess Mulan, in the name of the Goddess of Nature, bestowed blessings upon Dodo and Lucy.

Lucy, the princess of the Great Tree Elf Empire, received the blessing of the highest saintess, a glory for the entire Great Tree Elf Empire, and everyone felt their faces were filled with pride.

Chapter 537 An Unforgettable Night

Rhys interjected, "I saw her at the wedding ceremony today, tsk tsk, she's really beautiful! Those breasts, that butt..." Rhys's eyes gleamed with lewd light.

Captain Sos glared at Rhys and said, "What use is she to us?

Don't underestimate that woman, her power in the Heavenly Vine Empire is growing, but I've received word that she's probably not having an easy time now, because she's too conspicuous and has been ostracized by a coalition." Duke Os said, "I'll sound her out then. If it's possible, I'll discuss cooperation with her. You know, she's currently the head of the Second Magic Guild of the Heavenly Vine Empire!"

Soth asked doubtfully, "Duke Os, the more I listen, the more confused I get. Could you explain it more clearly?"

Duke Os said, "I do regret not listening to your advice back then. And, in the worst-case scenario, even if we back down, they won't let us go! So, if all else fails, we'll follow your plan! But we must be absolutely certain. I'm worried our current military strength is somewhat weak, and some of the nobles in the magic guild might defect. Therefore, we need external assistance!" "

But will Catherine agree to cooperate with us?" Commander Soth asked.

Duke Os said, "I worked with her in the Suman Mountains. From what I understand, this woman is very ambitious and somewhat stubborn! Now that she's facing a united front against her, she's probably thinking about how to change the situation and completely crush those who are vying for power with her."

Then Duke Os said, "This is inherently a mutually beneficial matter. Our military power is our bargaining chip. What we're worried about now is probably what Catherine is worried about as well."

Commander Soth said, "In short, we have to give it a try!"

Duke Os nodded slightly and said, "You all go back. Everyone be careful these days. Soth, we're all in the same boat. You can't escape, and neither can I."

Commander Soth smiled and said, "Duke Os, you should trust me. I, Soth, have always been utterly loyal to you."

Duke Os laughed, "Just saying, I just wanted you to remember our close alliance." Soth

laughed heartily and said, "In short, we're going to take a risk this time. Hopefully, we'll have good luck!"

In the palace

, the banquet had ended, but the air still seemed to linger with the aroma of fine wine.

All the guests had departed. The palace returned to its usual tranquility.

Not far from Dodo's bedroom... Several magicians simultaneously fired various colored magic bullets into the sky, the exploding bullets bathing the entire area in a dazzling display of light.

This was the final part of the wedding ceremony; after all one hundred magic bullets had been fired, the wedding would be perfectly concluded.

Duo Duo sat on his bed in the palace, Yana gently massaging his shoulders, You Hun massaging his legs, while Alice and Maria washed his feet. Such comfort would make any man envious.

"Sigh… getting married is really tiring. I've been walking all day without even a moment to rest," Duo Duo complained.

Lucy, who was adjusting her wedding dress, glared at Duo Duo and said in a coquettish voice, "Are you the only one like this? I'm with you too! I haven't even said anything yet!"

Duo Duo chuckled, "I was just venting, Alice. Go help your mistress.

" Alice responded. Just as she was about to get up, Lucy waved her hand to stop her. She said, "No need, I must arrange my wedding dress myself."

Toto said, "My little princess, you really don't know how to enjoy life… Oh, comfortable… Do you think everyone is like you? Lazybones!" Lucy said with a grin.

Seeing that Lucy was in a good mood, Toto hesitated, wanting to bring up the Queen's matter again, but worried that satisfying his own curiosity would ruin Lucy's good mood.

After pondering for a while, Toto gave up the idea and decided to ask Duchess Martha tomorrow; maybe that well-informed woman would know something. "

Go to sleep, go to sleep… Tonight is my wedding night, I want to be with you all…" Toto said with a mischievous smile, pulling Yana into his arms.

Yana quickly dodged, saying, "Master, today is just your and the mistress's wedding night, it has nothing to do with us, we're leaving..." With that, Yana, the wandering spirit, Alice, and Maria, as if they had planned it, entered the side room of the palace and closed the door tightly.

The lights went out.

The palace was plunged into darkness. Lucy, holding Duoduo, whispered, "I feel so happy right now, you know? You fatso, I had this dream many nights back in the day."

Duoduo kissed Lucy's forehead and said, "This isn't a dream. I promised you, and I kept my word today, didn't I? This proves your husband keeps his promises."

"Don't be so vain, talking like you're the one who's lost out," Lucy said coquettishly.

Duo Duo quickly smiled apologetically, "Who said I'm the one who's lost out? I've gotten a huge advantage! I get an official position, and I've married such a beautiful and understanding wife. Is there any man happier than me?"

Lucy smiled sweetly, nestled in Duo Duo's arms

, and said, "That's more like it." Duo Duo's nimble hand slipped inside Lucy's undergarment, and he whispered, "My dear wife, shouldn't we do what we should do now?"

Under Duo Duo's caresses, Lucy's soft body slumped into his arms. She was already prepared; tonight, this unforgettable night, she would do her utmost to serve her husband… In the southeast corner of the palace, there was a secluded courtyard.

At this moment, the Queen sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, her face filled with desolation.

She felt like a pitiful woman; the King had married her so that his children could once again receive a mother's love.

However, when Lucy and the prince didn't treat her as their mother and even rejected her, the king immediately neglected her as well.

She felt like a tool, a tool that could be discarded by its master at will.

Sometimes, she felt that the king was the greatest and most loving father, but a terrible husband. In the king's eyes, she, the queen, was probably not even worth a little finger of the prince and Lucy.

"Alas..." the queen sighed. "Perhaps it's my own fault!

If Lucy hadn't witnessed that scene back then, she wouldn't be treated like this today... Maybe I really am a wanton woman, a harlot despised by everyone!"

(Chapter 538: Bedtime Romance)

"Andrei, thank you for your thoughtfulness. I really do have some things to do today. You can continue your work here," said Dodo. "

Commander, please go ahead with your work. Everything will be fine with me here," said Andrei.

Dodo nodded and left the guardhouse hall. After wandering around for a while, she walked straight out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, Duoduo quickly made her way to the Duke of Martha's residence.

Inside, the Duchess of Martha lay languidly on the bed, her hair loosely spread across the pillow. Her purple silk nightgown was pushed up over her large breasts, revealing her naked body beneath.

The Duchess of Martha shifted slightly on the bed, one hand kneading her full breasts forcefully, emitting soft moans, while her other hand moved between her legs under the covers, the movements appearing quite vigorous.

"Mmm…oh…" the Duchess of Martha moaned repeatedly, her hands increasing in pressure and the range of her movements constantly changing.

"Master…mmm…Master…fuck me to death…" the Duchess of Martha gasped, her eyes glazed over, clearly lost in thought.

Suddenly!

A maid's voice came from outside: "Madam…" The Duchess of Martha's expression changed instantly. She had almost reached orgasm in her imagination. That wretched maid! She must be punished! "What is it!" Duchess Martha said curtly.

"Duke Dodo requests an audience with you..." the maid announced loudly.

"Ah?

Duke Dodo?" Duchess Martha asked, her face lighting up with surprise. "

Yes, he's already waiting for you in the drawing room..." the maid replied.

Duchess Martha felt a little flustered and wanted to get up quickly to dress and put on makeup, but hesitated for a moment and then lay back down on the bed. She called out, "Bring Duke Dodo directly to his room." "

Yes, Madam." The maid responded and left.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and when Dodo's magnetic voice entered Duchess Martha's mind, her heart skipped a beat. "

Duchess Martha. I'm here.

Please come in quickly..." Although Duchess Martha's magical skills weren't high, she could still easily cast a simple door-opening spell.

Before Dodo appeared before her, Duchess Martha gently smoothed her hair, making herself look even more languid, as if she had just woken up. She knew very well what kind of woman could entice a man.

Dodo appeared before Duchess Martha, smiling at her.

Duchess Martha stretched seductively, her large breasts becoming even more erect with the exaggerated movement. Through her purple nightgown, her nipples were clearly visible. "

Master...you've come..." Duchess Martha's voice was soft and sweet, yet not unpleasant; rather, it was captivating.

Dodo chuckled, strutted onto the bed, and reached out to pinch one of Duchess Martha's nipples through her nightgown, slowly kneading it.

"Mmm..." Duchess Martha moaned, coquettishly saying, "Master, you're so naughty..." Dodo laughed. "Look at you, so slutty, are you craving a man?"

Duchess Martha smiled alluringly, "I did miss you, Master. Master, come and pamper your slave." As she spoke, she boldly placed her hand between Dodo's legs, gently caressing her.

Dodo secretly exclaimed, "What a stunner! She

's only been here a short while, and this woman has already aroused me. A mature woman is indeed a mature woman. She understands men so well."

Dodo had originally come to ask Duchess Martha if she knew anything about the Queen.

But before he could even get to the point, his desire had already been ignited. Under Duchess Martha's caresses, Dodo quickly got a large erection.

Duchess Martha slowly removed her silk nightgown, panting, deliberately trembling her full, round breasts, looking at Dodo with hazy eyes, and said, "Master, come on, touch me..." Damn!

This little panda's seduction... he's either impotent or frigid. Dodo

simply abandoned his original purpose for the time being, deciding to have some fun with this slut.

Lying on the bed, Dodo laughed, "If you want it, come and make yourself comfortable."

Duchess Martha's naked body instantly coiled around Duo Duo like a snake, using her skillful lips and teeth to undress him.

This was truly an art!

Even Duo Duo found it troublesome to undress himself, but now Duchess Martha could slowly untie them with just her lips and teeth. Duo Duo

enjoyed it immensely. A moment later, his shirt was undone by Duchess Martha, revealing his muscular chest, which made her eyes light up. She then leaned down, rubbing her large breasts against Duo Duo's chest, while her hands began to pull down his trousers. Before

long, with Duo Duo's deliberate cooperation, all his clothes were off… Duchess Martha's soft and sexy body entwined around Duo Duo, her fragrant tongue skillfully licking every inch of his skin from top to bottom.

Duo Duo, meanwhile, reached down to her lower body, forcefully grasping and kneading her two full breasts, while simultaneously using two fingers to gently twist her nipples.

Mrs. Martha slowly moved her body downwards, and when she reached Toto's swollen, hard member, she looked up at him seductively, then lowered her head as if facing a most precious treasure, gently rubbing her cheek against the hot, massive member. Toto

let out a comfortable moan. With such meticulous and exquisite service from this woman, he experienced not only physical satisfaction, but more importantly, immense psychological fulfillment.

After fully experiencing the heat of Dodo's body, Duchess Martha began to skillfully circle the tip of his massive member with her tongue.

This mature woman possessed abundant skills with men; if she wanted to please a man, he could reach the peak both physically and psychologically. Dodo was, at this moment, the only man she wanted to please.

Beside this man, she experienced feelings she had never experienced before.

For example, the wild stimulation of public debauchery, the special feeling between women, especially since this man was not only outstanding on the outside, but also possessed enough inner qualities to make her feel like she was in heaven, enjoying unprecedented pleasure.

Chapter 539 Falling

Duchess Martha felt even more stimulated, and swayed more violently. Gradually, this friction-like swaying was no longer enough to satisfy her needs. She straightened her upper body and began to move up and down rapidly.

Plop plop... Speaking of which, Duchess Martha's vagina was definitely a rare wonder. Not only was it not loose, but the amount of spring water was astonishing. Every time she moved up and down, the sound of spring water splashing was a factor that aroused desire.

Dodo grabbed Duchess Martha's buttocks, helping her move more powerfully, while he thrust his lower body, trying to penetrate as deeply as possible with each stroke.

"Oh... Master, harder... harder... I'm going to die..." Duchess Martha cried out almost in a sob, her movements becoming even wilder.

"Ah..." With a desperate groan, Duchess Martha reached her first orgasm. The pleasure of reaching the peak of desire left her weak and limp, yet a satisfied smile still appeared on her lips.

"Want more?" Dodo asked with a wicked grin.

"Mmm... yes... more..." Duchess Martha lay limp on Dodo's body, moaning weakly, yet still demanding more. Dodo

simply lifted her off the bed, letting her lie face down, and then placed a pillow under her lower abdomen, so that Duchess Martha wouldn't exert too much effort, and her buttocks would stick up. "

How about I give you a little boost?" Dodo said.

"Hmm..." Duchess Martha probably didn't even understand what Duoduo was saying, just moaning and thrusting her buttocks forward.

Duoduo reached out and caressed Duchess Martha's pink, tender vulva, which was still wet with spring water. When his fingers touched the spring water, Duoduo slowly smeared it on her alluring anus.

Then, Duoduo spread her buttocks apart, thrusting his lower body forward, and slowly inserted it into her anus.

"Ah..." Duchess Martha let out a scream. The huge thing in front would make her feel like she was dying of pleasure, but when it opened up that untouched anus path, her body trembled violently as if it were being torn apart. She turned her head and looked at Duoduo in astonishment.

Duoduo said sternly: "Don't move!"

This kind of sadistic play stirred a strange stimulation in Duchess Martha's heart. She looked at Duoduo pitifully with teary eyes: "Master... I... I won't move..." Duoduo grabbed Duchess Martha's buttocks and thrust his lower body forward, watching as her anus was slowly stretched open. The massive object slowly entered the muddy path.

So tight! Dodo groaned in pleasure. Duchess Martha's sphincter contracted powerfully, almost crushing Dodo's lower body. At first, it might feel a little uncomfortable, but slowly it would become incredibly pleasurable.

Duchess Martha's eyes rolled back in pain, her hands gripping the sheets tightly, forcefully suppressing her urge to escape, enduring the pain.

When Dodo's erection was fully inside, he gently patted Duchess Martha's buttocks and said, "It will hurt the first time, but slowly. You'll find it can drive you even crazier!"

Duchess Martha gasped in pain, trying to adjust to the large object inserted into her rectum.

Dodo slowly began to move, each withdrawal bringing out a bit of tender flesh. Because his endowment was so large, even with his carefulness, he still managed to tear Duchess Martha's anus. Tiny traces of blood stained Dodo's erection, appearing and disappearing… Pain!

Pain so intense it was numb!

This was how Lady Martha felt at that moment, but as Toto's thrusts, though not rough, began, a strange sensation slowly grew within her, becoming stronger and stronger.

Just as Toto had said, this feeling almost drove her mad; she couldn't describe the specific sensation, but it was a truly strange pleasure, so strange that it made her want to scream uncontrollably.

Toto felt Lady Martha's rear becoming increasingly wet, and gradually loosened his movements, increasing the amplitude of his thrusts.

*Slap slap...* When Toto was so overwhelmed with pleasure that he couldn't control his movements, wanting only to quickly gain even stronger pleasure, the strange sensation within Lady Martha's body began to overflow. "

Ah... harder! I don't want to live anymore... Master, harder... I'll give you everything..." Lady Martha screamed, shaking her head violently, her hair disheveled. While screaming, Lady Martha, like a madwoman, recklessly thrust her hips, desperately responding to Toto.

This feeling was just too good!

Completely lost in the pleasure of desire, Duoduo thrust forcefully for an unknown amount of time, finally ejaculating with a muffled groan.

Duchess Martha's body trembled, tensed sharply, and then slumped limply onto the bed, groaning incoherently.

After enjoying the contraction of his sphincter for a while, Duoduo slowly withdrew, bright red blood and thick semen flowing out… Duoduo grabbed a sheet, carefully wiped his own genitals, then helped Duchess Martha clean herself before getting into bed beside her, stroking her smooth back. "

How was it?" Duoduo asked with a grin. "

Mmm… I'm dead… I'm dead…" Duchess Martha mumbled groggily.

Duoduo slapped Duchess Martha's bottom and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lady Martha weakly opened her eyes, glanced at Duo Duo, then closed them again, saying, "Master, you...you're too amazing...you're almost killing me..." Duo Duo chuckled, "Really? In that case, how about we stop playing like this?"

Lady Martha hurriedly opened her eyes, saying, "Play, Master, wait until I feel better before you play like this again..." Duo Duo said, "Good, good. Remember, you can only be my slave. Lady Martha, you're truly a beauty.

Master is a powerful man; I've never been like this before." Lady Martha forced a smile and said.

*Smack!* Duo Duo

slapped Lady Martha's bottom hard, his face hardening, and said, "Don't mention other men to me!"

Lady Martha hurriedly said, "Master, I won't say anything more. From now on, I belong only to you." Duo Duo nodded, saying

, "That's more like it."

Then, Duo Duo asked, "I want to ask you something."

Duchess Martha shifted her body, saying, "What does Master want to ask?" Duo

Duo said, "Do you know the Queen?"

Duchess Martha nodded and said, "I know, why is Master asking her?"

Dodo said, "I feel something's off. At my wedding with Lucy yesterday, His Majesty didn't invite her at all, and you saw her at the wedding, didn't you? What's going on? Her relationship with Lucy seems really bad, and her relationship with His Majesty isn't good either. So why was she chosen as Queen?"

Duchess Martha said, "Actually, I'm not entirely sure either. For a while, the Queen was the most talked-about person in our clan. It's strange, really. When His Majesty the King first married the Queen, Lucy was only seven or eight years old. At first, Lucy liked her very much and often followed her around. At that time, she was also very favored by the King. But things changed suddenly. Lucy seemed to suddenly dislike her. The Prince naturally sided with Lucy, and the Queen, disliked by both Lucy and the Prince, immediately lost the King's favor.

That's all I know, and I heard it from others." Duchess Martha

was completely confused and asked doubtfully, "Does her favor with the King have anything to do with Lucy?"

Duchess Martha exaggeratedly said, "Don't you know how much His Majesty the King loves the Princess and the Prince? Of the three elven empires, our Giant Tree Elf Empire's royal family is the smallest, consisting only of the Prince and the Princess. This is because His Majesty the King has only truly married one woman, Lucy and the Prince's mother. From this perspective, His Majesty the King is truly a devoted man!" After the death of the former queen, His Majesty the King originally did not intend to appoint another queen, but in the end he did so anyway. The reason was that he hoped the princess and prince could regain their mother's love, and the current queen's value was just that! At first, the king favored her because Lucy and the prince liked her, but later, when Lucy and the prince not only disliked the queen but also began to hate her, she naturally lost her value, and His Majesty the King also began to become increasingly indifferent to her.

"

Master, are you interested in the queen? She's truly a beauty, it's just a pity she's so cold." Duchess Martha suddenly said. "

Holy crap!"

Duoduo looked at Duchess Martha in astonishment. This woman really dared to say anything! "

She's the queen, am I looking for death?" Duoduo rolled her eyes at her and said. "

But I'm still a duchess! How dare you play me like this?" Duchess Martha said with a charming smile: "She's just a queen in name only. It's just that the king doesn't want to appoint another queen, so he's reluctantly keeping her in that position."

Then, Duchess Martha seduced, "Really, Master, do you want to? I can help you. Actually, there are quite a few people in those noble circles who covet her, but some are afraid, and some, even if they're incredibly bold, don't have the ability to seduce her. Master, I think you can."

Dodo couldn't help but become interested and asked curiously, "How can you help me?"

Duchess Martha chuckled and said, "Master, you've given yourself away!"

Dodo put on a stern face and said, "Do you want me to do it to you again?"

Duchess Martha hurriedly covered her buttocks and exclaimed, "Master, please spare me! Let me rest for a couple of days before you play..." "Then tell me quickly!" Dodo laughed and scolded.

Duchess Martha said, "In our noble ladies' circle, we hold a ladies' gathering every ten days. It's really just a form of chatting, and each time it's hosted by the ladies of the four major noble families and the Queen in rotation. Tomorrow is the time for the noble ladies' gathering. You can attend as a newly promoted noble with Princess Lucy..." "Damn it, do you want me dead?" "Lucy hates her so much. Why would I deliberately bring Lucy to her side?" Duo Duo slapped Duchess Martha's bottom.

Duchess Martha frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "That's simple. Tomorrow you can say Lucy can't attend because of something, and you can go and greet everyone on her behalf. You know, lately, all the high-society ladies have been talking about you. If you fancy someone? I can definitely get her into bed for you..." Duo Duo was immediately dumbfounded and said, "Are all high-society ladies this promiscuous?"

Duchess Martha suddenly giggled, quickly dodging to the side, quite a distance from Duo Duo, and said, "I've never seen anyone like you and them before, not even the people around my master are promiscuous."

Duo Duo threw a pillow at her, then pounced on her, saying, "How dare you talk about your master like that? I think you need a beating!"

Duchess Martha shouted exaggeratedly, dodging around naked on the bed. For a moment... The atmosphere in bed was incredibly romantic… That night, Duoduo took out all the treasure maps he had obtained and pieced them together again, confirming that if anything was missing, it was only the piece from the Queen's possession.

Of course, only Yana and Youhun were present when he did this; Duoduo deliberately avoided everyone else.

He was afraid that Lucy would be angry if she found out, and as for Alice and Maria, Duoduo still couldn't fully trust them.

Now, Duoduo's only worry was that Lucy's memory might be faulty. So many years had passed; had she misread the map when she saw it from the Queen? Or had she misremembered it?

Even if Lucy was right, given the passage of time, was the map still with the Queen?

Youhun. "Want to come with me tomorrow?" Duoduo said.

"Me? I think I'll pass. There are noblewomen everywhere. Noblewomen are the most jealous group; if I go, it will be disadvantageous for you…" Youhun said.

Duoduo smiled: "You seem to understand the mentality of noblewomen very well?"

The wandering spirit's expression immediately darkened, a strange sadness flashing in her eyes.

Duo Duo knew she must be recalling the past, and quickly stepped forward to hug her, saying, "Baby, don't be sad. I promised you, I will keep my promise, believe me!"

The wandering spirit forced a smile at Duo Duo and said, "I believe you. Besides, I'm much more indifferent to those things now than before. Now, all I think about is being by your side; some things don't need to be pursued so deliberately."

Duo Duo felt a surge of warmth, a surge of emotion welling up in his chest. He embraced the wandering spirit tenderly, kissing her forehead, and murmured, "We will be together forever. After some time, I will marry you too. The wedding will be as grand as Lucy's."

The wandering spirit sobbed softly, tears streaming down her face, burying herself in Duo Duo's arms, her body trembling slightly.

Duo Duo held the wandering spirit tightly, and Yana stepped forward as well. The three of them embraced… Night always passes quickly.

That night, Dodo didn't indulge in his usual revelry.

Instead, he went to the palace gate, sat on the steps, and gazed at the stars, his mind filled with reflection.

Since the establishment of the Giant Tree Elf Empire, everything had gone too smoothly, making him somewhat arrogant. He had fulfilled Lucy's wish, but had become preoccupied with other matters, neglecting the wishes of other women—Wandering Soul and Yana.

Was this favoritism? Dodo asked himself, feeling a pang of shame. Thinking of how good Wandering Soul and Yana had been to him, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

He couldn't continue like this. Dealing with Duke Os was important, but he couldn't neglect his beloved women.

It seemed he needed to work even harder in the future; only then could he see the genuine smiles of his women again… Dodo made a silent resolution.

As the dawn's sunlight bathed the palace, Dodo bid farewell to Lucy and the others, leaving the palace for Duke Martha's residence.

Duchess Martha had already risen early, dressed in her finest attire, looking exceptionally beautiful and charming.

It seems that the so-called "ladies' gathering" is nothing more than a pointless party where wealthy women get together to compare themselves to each other.

When Duchess Martha saw Duo Duo arrive, she immediately stepped forward, took his hand, and said with a fawning smile, "Master, do you think I'm pretty?" "

Pretty? Absolutely mesmerizing!" Duo Duo playfully pinched Duchess Martha's nose and said with a laugh. "

If anyone's mesmerizing, it'll only be Master..." Duchess Martha said with a grin.

Duo Duo gave Duchess Martha a hard slap on the bottom and said, "I'm already mesmerized by you, so hurry up and leave!"

Duchess Martha said with an exaggerated expression, "Yes, my dear mistress..." The venue for this ladies' gathering was a medium-sized mansion belonging to the Newman family.

When Dodo and Duchess Martha entered the mansion, they suddenly saw Lewis inside directing the servants.

Upon seeing Dodo, Lewis's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to greet her, saying happily, "Duke Dodo, hello."

Dodo smiled and said, "Lewis, why are you being so polite with me? Should I address you as Earl Lewis from now on?"

Lewis laughed heartily and said, "Anyway, your official rank and title are higher than mine. If we skip the formalities, I'll be the one who benefits."

Dodo said, "Then you can have that benefit. In return, invite me for a drink another day."

Lewis said, "No problem. I know you're busy with your wedding recently, otherwise I would have already come to drink with you."

Chapter 541 A Chat Among the Noble Ladies

Lewis chuckled, "If they were all beauties like Duchess Martha, I'd accept being ganged up on."

"Smooth talker!" Duchess Martha retorted, but the smile on her face showed she was quite pleased with Lewis's words.

Just then, several noble ladies arrived one after another.

As Lewis had said, these ladies were indeed using this time to compete, each dressed more luxuriously than the last, each adorned with more expensive jewelry than the next.

Elven women were all beautiful, but it depended on who they were compared to. Compared to Duchess Martha, these noble ladies were far inferior.

At this moment, Duo Duo was definitely a prominent figure in Giant Tree City, and as Duchess Martha had said, an idol to the noble ladies.

When the noble ladies saw Duo Duo, their eyes lit up, and they all surrounded him.

Seeing the ladies arrive, Duchess Martha quickly moved closer to Duo Duo, taking his arm. With this one move, Duchess Martha had won today.

Dodo chuckled inwardly. It seemed Lady Martha had brought him here for her own benefit; this woman was truly shrewd.

However, Dodo didn't feel offended. She was just a woman; comparison was in a woman's nature. She'd given him such pleasure in bed, so she should at least help her out.

Dodo smiled and greeted the ladies, who chattered amongst themselves, as if afraid of missing a single word. Only when Lewis intervened did Dodo escape the group of ladies and, surrounded by them, enter a newly furnished room—a room of unparalleled opulence and luxury.

Dodo was deliberately placed in the center, close to everyone. This slightly lessened the ladies' jealousy of Duchess Martha.

"Oh! Princess Mulan is here!"

"Yes. Why is she with the Queen?"

The ladies' chatter suddenly grew louder. Duo Duo instinctively looked outside and saw the ethereal Saint Mulan walking side-by-side with the dignified and beautiful Queen.

It seemed Saint Mulan and the Queen had a good relationship; though he couldn't hear what they were saying, their smiles were undeniable.

The Queen actually smiled… Yes… he'd never seen her smile before… Duo Duo listened to the whispers, his gaze fixed on Saint Mulan, his feelings indescribable.

Even when Saint Mulan laughed like an ordinary person, the otherworldly air about her always made people feel unworthy of her respect. Duo Duo couldn't imagine what it was like when, as Yana had said, he almost raped her in the cave.

In fact, for the first time, Duo Duo's heart softened.

Faced with such a fairy-like woman, could he really devise a vicious plan?

Even if he did, could he execute it?

In a daze, Duo Duo's gaze froze... The host of the rotating ladies' gathering, Lewis's sister, was the first to go out to greet them.

The arrival of the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Nature—what an honor for their gossipy, so-called meeting!

This meeting, frankly, was originally just a place for noblewomen to exchange information about the latest fashions and jewelry. It gradually became a stage for comparison, and for men, such ladies' gatherings were considered low-class. But today, besides the rising hero Duke Duo Duo, the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Nature had arrived.

Holy Maiden Mulan was very amiable, with a gentle and approachable smile for everyone.

Having grown up in the Temple of Nature, her understanding of the outside world was pitifully limited, even with past experiences. However, due to her status as a Holy Maiden, she couldn't truly experience them.

Coming to Giant Tree City was an opportunity for her.

At least she had a reason to move within the elven territory, and within the elven territory, the three high priests naturally wouldn't send their trusted confidants to protect her—that was freedom.

Saint Mulan still remembered Lucy's composed and confident demeanor when she questioned her.

Lucy was young, perhaps no more than Yana's age; it would be strange if a girl that age didn't have curiosity… During the struggle for the Nine Yang Manual, in that cave, she was about to be raped by Duo Duo when she unexpectedly gained the energy of the Goddess of Nature, avoiding the rape, but her mindset gradually changed.

The symbol of the Temple of Nature was those thriving plants, but what did plants represent?

Saint Mulan slowly realized that plants represented vitality, a harmonious and upward-moving vitality… For a long time, possessing most of the Goddess of Nature's energy, she mostly reflected on whether the Great Elves and the Night Elves were truly incompatible.

Since the Goddess of Nature represented peaceful vitality, why use violence to eradicate heresy?

Life and death originally shared a common origin; having seen through this, Saint Mulan began to ponder the source of the incompatibility between the Great Elves and the Night Elves.

As for why she came with the Queen, it was quite simple. First, unaware of the situation, she felt some sympathy for the Queen, and like Duo Duo, she had a strong curiosity. Second, she hadn't expected the Queen's situation in the palace to be so dire. She approached the Queen partly out of sympathy, and partly to learn from her about recent events in the palace… The arrival of Saint Mulan and Hero Duo Duo enlivened this otherwise ordinary ladies' gathering.

The ladies, who usually only knew how to compete, suddenly became uncharacteristically eager to speak, vying to impress Saint Mulan and leave an impression on their families—a great achievement indeed. Throughout the gathering, Duo Duo's eyes darted between Saint Mulan and the Queen.

Duo Duo understood nothing of so-called fashion; she'd rather spend her time admiring the two beauties with their distinct styles.

The ladies' gathering was divided into two phases.

The first phase was the kind of conversation Duo Duo had just experienced, a verbal battle to see who understood fashion better—in short, a kind of bickering.

The second stage is the banquet. Normally, men are the main characters at banquets, but at the ladies' gathering, women are the main characters.

This has been a long-standing custom, probably a form of self-expression.

(Chapter 542: Having suffered a setback) Duo Duo

smiled and said, "Duchess Martha, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have missed this banquet… Master, the Queen is over there…" Duchess Martha took a step closer and whispered.

Dodo looked around and saw the Queen in the corner, her current situation seemingly disproportionate to her status. She stood there forlornly, looking around forlornly, holding her wine glass forlornly… How am I supposed to get over here? Dodo said softly, “There are so many people… Go have a drink and greet her first, I’ll find you an opportunity later…” Duchess Martha said.

Dodo suddenly realized that there were no brothels in this world; otherwise, Duchess Martha would definitely be the best candidate to be a madam… Well, but how should I address her? Dodo had a headache; he really didn’t know how to address the Queen. “

Just call her Your Highness. Actually, her relationship with Lucy is no secret. You don’t need to be overly polite,” Duchess Martha said.

Dodo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked straight towards the Queen with his wine glass.

"Your Majesty, I am..." Duo Duo politely began to introduce himself according to protocol, but the Queen waved him off, saying calmly, "I know you, Lucy's husband..." This left Duo Duo unsure how to respond. He smiled awkwardly, picked up his wine glass, and said, "May I have a drink with you?" The Queen glanced at Duo Duo, then downed her drink without a word.

Duo Duo stared blankly at the Queen, feeling utterly humiliated. This woman had gone too far. Damn it. If it weren't for the treasure map, Duo Duo wouldn't have wanted to provoke this cold-faced woman.

After finishing his drink, Duo Duo stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do next.

This was the first time he'd encountered such a situation. If he were alone with the Queen, she might have gotten angry and resorted to force. But this was a gathering of noblewomen, and there were far too many people around. "

Old lecher!

Old lecher, are you dead?!"

In desperation, Duo Duo gently touched his chastity charm ring, calling out to the old lecher.

"Da Nian." Zhang's lazy voice came: "So you finally asked me for help? I thought you were self-taught and didn't need me at all!

Stop talking nonsense!" Duo Duo said irritably: "Can't you see how pathetic I am right now?"

"Da Nian." Zhang laughed: "You have so much experience, how about it? Besides using force, you can't do anything else? For mature women like this, the only way is to be thick-skinned!"

"Will it work?" Duo Duo asked doubtfully. "

My experience is like this. But let me make it clear first, I can't guarantee it, it's all up to you! So that you won't blame me later if you fail because of your own reasons." "Da Nian." Zhang said. Duo Duo hesitated for a moment and said: "Give it a try, if it really doesn't work, just turn her palace upside down!" "

Da Nian." Zhang said: "Kid, I advise you to start with her, a woman like this must be sad inside. Coldness is just a mask." Don't forget, if one person hides something, even ten people can't find it. If you rashly search for it, it'll be strange if you find it!

Duo Duo grew increasingly agitated. He said, "Let's try!"

"Duke Duo Duo,"

he said. "What are you still doing standing in front of me?" Duo Duo and Da Nian, who had been exchanging pleasantries, stood silently before the Queen, appearing quite dazed.

Duo Duo looked at the Queen and said, "I was just a little lost in thought, because of your beauty..." The Queen smiled contemptuously and said, "Duke Duo Duo, are you also a philanderer?" I've heard this kind of low-level flirting many times. The only thing I thank you for is that you treated me like a woman... Duo Duo forced a smile and said, "You are a woman, and a beautiful one at that."

The Queen sneered, "But I am still the Queen, your nominal mother-in-law. You can't deny that, can you?"

Duo Duo immediately felt his face flush red, but he forcibly suppressed his embarrassment and said, "I was just praising your beauty. Can't I praise my mother-in-law?" "You know our relationship is, as you say, nominal. So why do you need to use this blood relation to embarrass me?"

the Queen sneered. "I'm ashamed of your shamelessness, and I grieve for Lucy finding a husband like you! Everyone has their bottom line, and Duoduo is no exception."

The Queen could use any contemptuous words to treat him, but she couldn't mention his woman! "Damn it, does this woman think I'm really interested in her?" Duoduo felt very frustrated. "Damn it, if it weren't for that last piece of the treasure map, Duoduo would definitely be on Lucy's side, sharing the same hatred, and wouldn't even glance at her." " My shamelessness stems from my admiration for your beauty and my sorrow for your plight. Don't talk about grieving for Lucy! Lucy knows her own joys and sorrows with me. Besides, do you even have the right to grieve for Lucy?" Duoduo said angrily. The Queen's face turned deathly pale. She stared blankly at Duoduo, her body swaying slightly. Seeing the stalemate had already formed, and knowing there was little chance of resolving it in front of everyone, Duo Duo hesitated for a moment, then raised her glass to the Queen before turning to leave. " Master, how is it?" Duchess Martha asked, leaning closer. "There seems to be a garden behind us, let's go for a walk there, I have something to say," said Saint Mulan , glancing at a side door. Duo Duo nodded readily and said, "Alright!" Under the watchful eyes of many, Duo Duo and Saint Mulan walked through the side door and arrived at a small garden. The garden was filled with a riot of colorful flowers, a truly beautiful sight. Just entering the garden, a unique fragrance filled the air, intoxicating and refreshing… Saint Mulan walked silently, heading straight to a heart-shaped flowerbed in the center. Duo Duo could only follow behind, cautiously circulating her Nine Yang Energy. " You just found out?" Saint Mulan suddenly asked. Duo Duo was startled and blurted out, "Know what?" Saintess Mulan smiled faintly and said, "The first time you saw me, your eyes weren't like this, but now there's a hint of wariness in them..." Duo Duo feigned ignorance and said, "Your Highness, are you speaking in riddles? I don't understand what you mean." Saintess Mulan said, "Don't worry, you were out of your mind back then, I won't blame you." Damn! Really? Duo Duo couldn't believe it. He had almost raped her, and now she was speaking so understandingly. " Duke Duo, those things are in the past. Today, I want to ask you, where is the Holy Maiden of the Dark Elf Clan?" Saintess Mulan suddenly stared intently at Duo Duo, her clear eyes almost able to see right through him. Duo Duo trembled. To be honest, he was far more worried about this matter than about Saintess Mulan's revenge. If it was only targeting him, then let her come at him. He could use the power of the Giant Tree Elf Empire to maneuver. At the very least, he could find a chance to escape with the women. However, the matter raised by Saint Mulan regarding Yana was far from simple. The Great Elves had always considered the Night Elves their mortal enemies! Currently, Duoduo was unaware of the Great Tree Emperor's opinion of the Night Elves, and had no time to persuade him. If Saint Mulan were to announce now that Duoduo had a Night Elf saintess by his side, his positions as Duke and Chief of the Guard would be over in the next few days. Those devoted followers would follow Saint Mulan's orders and lay a trap for him throughout the entire elven territory. Duoduo's mind raced, weighing the seriousness of his loss of composure and devising a plan to deal with it.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? What Dark Elf Saintess?" Duo Duo asked, feigning ignorance.

Saintess Mulan said, "Since you already know about what happened between us, you naturally won't pretend to be stupid anymore. Leaving aside the fact that the Dark Elf Saintess was with you that night, you even have a faint aura of the Death Spider Queen on you right now. Only I can sense it in the Purple Heaven Continent." Then, Saintess Mulan continued, "To be honest, the reason I came to Giant Tree City this time is because I sensed the aura of the Dark Elf race. Did you think I would come specifically to attend your wedding?"

Duo Duo was caught off guard by Saintess Mulan's aggressive approach, unsure how to answer. Thinking carefully, he realized that it was probably when Yana revealed the Death Spider Queen energy to Booker that Saintess Mulan sensed it. He

had initially thought that a small amount of energy wouldn't cause any problems. Now it seemed he had been too careless.

But what could he do?

Yana was his woman, his beloved woman. Was he really going to betray her like this?

Ha!

"What a joke! If you want to deal with his woman, you have to deal with him first!"

Duo Duo made up his mind. Deciding to deny it to the death, he feigned ignorance and said, "Your Highness, what are you saying? I really don't understand..." Saintess Mulan said helplessly, "Just tell me where she is. I really have something to tell her. Don't think I want to deal with her..." Duo Duo sneered inwardly. Who would believe that?

Every member of the Great Elf race, brainwashed from childhood, would want to wipe out the Night Elves, let alone her, the leader of the faith—the Saintess of the Temple of Nature?

Come to think of it, weren't all the extermination operations orchestrated by the Temple of Nature behind the scenes? Those most lethal weapons, like the Death Scroll, weren't they created by the Temple of Nature to slaughter the Night Elves?

Duo Duo stared at Saintess Mulan, inwardly sneering. Was this woman stupid, or did she really think he was stupid? Using such low-level words to deceive him was an insult to his intelligence.

Duo Duo hadn't expected that such a seemingly ethereal and beautiful woman could be so vulgar, resorting to such despicable means to achieve her goals. "

Can you tell me?" Saintess Mulan asked.

Duo Duo smiled and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I really don't understand what you're talking about! The Archeel and the Night Elf races are sworn enemies. If I knew where the Night Elf Saintess was, I would definitely risk my life to kill her!"

(Chapter 544: An Unintentional Success) Duo Duo

couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Duchess Martha was truly a remarkable woman!

She had initially sought her out simply because she was seduced by her mature and alluring charm. Now it seemed like an unintentional success, as she had unexpectedly gained the help of such a woman. "

Duke Duo…you…you come and drink with me…" Lewis, seeing Duo Duo, stumbled to his feet, his words slurred.

Dodo smiled, picked up a glass of wine from a servant's tray, raised it to indicate he would drink it. He wasn't about to be foolish enough to go to Lewis's place; those drunken ladies would practically devour him.

Lewis's shout caught the attention of Duchess Martha. When she saw Dodo, she smiled and said a few words to the Queen before rising to approach him. "

Master, I have good news for you. The Queen has accepted my invitation for tomorrow..." Duchess Martha said boastfully, "Then it'll be up to you."

Dodo glanced at the Queen, his irritation growing. He had come specifically to target the Queen, but now the appearance of Saint Mulan had ruined his mood.

"No need!" Dodo said gruffly, downing the rest of his wine in a large gulp.

"Huh? Why?" Duchess Martha asked, puzzled.

Then, she suddenly grinned mischievously and said, "Master, have you taken a fancy to someone else? Tell me, who have you taken a fancy to?" "I'll definitely arrange it for you, so you can get your hands on... Saint Mulan!" Duoduo said in a muffled voice.

"Ah!

Saint Mulan?"

Duoduo turned to look at the utterly astonished Duchess Martha, a wicked smile playing on her lips. "

What? Did I scare you?"

Duchess Martha gasped. Duoduo's words had exceeded her expectations. She had only assumed Duoduo might have designs on the Queen.

If Duoduo did have designs on the Queen, then Duchess Martha had already decided to help Duoduo get the Queen into bed.

Being a woman herself, and familiar with the Queen's situation, Duchess Martha could deeply sense that beneath the Queen's dignified and aloof exterior lay a heart full of desire. Such a woman, no matter what mask she wore, could easily have that mask torn off if the method was right.

To curry favor with Duo Duo, Duchess Martha had even devised a series of traps targeting the Queen… The Queen would be a gift for Duo Duo. Duchess Martha, with her absolute political acumen, knew Duo Duo's future was limitless. Besides, her body had already completely submitted to Duo Duo. She wanted to elevate her status and secure a place in front of this powerful man by any means necessary.

As for the consequences, Duchess Martha hadn't considered them. The Queen was merely a queen in name only; even if things were exposed, if someone wanted to pursue her, Duo Duo would be there to shield her, and it wouldn't have a serious impact on her.

Duchess Martha's little scheme was well-thought-out, but now it seemed to have failed.

She couldn't believe that the man before her was coveting the goddess of the Great Elves—Saint Mulan!

The goddess of nature!

Normally, anyone who harbored even the slightest impure thought towards the saintly Mulan would be considered an unforgivable desecration. But now, a man made no attempt to conceal his desire, wanting to take a woman to his bed… Duchess Martha, her pretty face paling slightly, turned to look at Mulan in the distance. She shuddered violently. The mere thought of such an ethereal woman being so roughly handled by Duo Duo in bed sent chills down Duchess Martha's spine.

Duo Duo moved closer to Duchess Martha, took a small sip of wine, and pressed his fragrant lips against her ear, laughing frivolously: "My dear Duchess, your expressions are truly fascinating. I've never seen anything like it in bed…" Duo Duo's warm breath tickled Duchess Martha's earlobe, and the familiar masculine scent emanating from him made her weak. She couldn't help but recall Duo Duo's prowess in bed, and her face flushed crimson. "

You dare not, do you?" Duo Duo whispered.

Then, his voice, laced with irresistible allure, provoked: "Think about it, serving me on the same bed as your saintess, and seeing her scream and groan wildly as she's being fucked—isn't that incredibly exciting?"

Duchess Martha's body trembled. She looked up at Duo Duo, her eyes filled with complex emotions—fear mixed with a flickering, almost frenzied fire.

Duo Duo chuckled and said, "Consider it. Do you want to do your best for your master? Of course, whether you succeed or not, I won't blame you. I just want to see your loyalty..." Duchess Martha downed the emerald-green liquor in her glass, her voice still somewhat hoarse: "Master, I... I didn't have the chance... Opportunities are created." Duo Duo said, looking up at Saintess Mulan, only to find her eyes also fixed on him. A lewd smile immediately appeared on his face, causing Saintess Mulan's expression to change, and she quickly turned her head away.

Damn it!

Now that the pretense of civility has been laid bare, there's no need for pretense anymore, Duo Duo thought viciously. He was now desperately eager to obtain the treasure. If it truly contained some immense secret to godhood, what would Saintess Mulan be compared to him?

If she angered him, he'd destroy even the Temple of Nature!

Thinking this, Duo Duo raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, "I have something to ask you."

Duchess Martha looked up at Duo Duo and said, "What is it?

I heard there's a treasure in the elven territory? And that's why they united to seal off the Suman Mountains?" Duo Duo asked.

Duchess Martha laughed and said, "What? Even you, Master, believe these absurd rumors? There were such rumors before, causing widespread panic and chaos, especially among greedy humans who caused trouble and widespread destruction! But after official investigation, the rumors have been officially debunked, stabilizing the situation."

Dodo was stunned, not expecting things to turn out this way. It seemed the mistake was due to the time difference.

From the moment the news broke in the elven territory to its spread to Mandala City and even the human territories, a considerable amount of time had passed. During this time, the elven territory had begun to refute the rumors and stabilize public morale.

Those who had just received the news, however, still thought it was freshly released. By the time they arrived, the elven territory had already taken appropriate measures.

However, Dodo wasn't disappointed. The so-called refutation was merely an official measure to stabilize public morale.

Even if the officials investigated personally, so what?

Chapter 545: The Debauchery of High Society.

This was a very difficult, almost impossible task, but after much deliberation, she felt it was the right thing to do. What did her personal gains or losses matter? If successful, there would be no more cruel killings in the future, saving countless lives.

This wasn't just her concern, so after much deliberation, Saint Mulan decided to personally meet with Saint Yana of the Night Elf race to hear her opinion. If Yana also valued peace, then with joint efforts, even if success wasn't immediate, they could minimize the animosity between the two races.

Saint Mulan was worried about Yana's attitude; after all, for many years, the Night Elves had been on the defensive, suffering the greatest casualties.

But she had to try anyway. Since arriving in Giant Tree City, Saint Mulan had heard about the Death Scroll and how someone could easily impersonate temple personnel to harm the Elven royal family. She was deeply troubled; beneath the seemingly calm surface, a terrible undercurrent was brewing… Saint Mulan smiled and politely brushed off a noblewoman who approached her, sighing inwardly, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Duo Duo.

The Holy Maiden holds a supreme position in the temple, but this position doesn't grant her the right to act on any matters. The Nature Archers in the Temple of Nature, as well as the priests of various branch temples, are all trained by the three high priests of the main temple.

Compared to the three high priests, Holy Maiden Mulan has no one she can trust, so she has to handle everything personally.

It seems she'll have to interact with this man a few more times… When Holy Maiden Mulan realized this, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Putting aside Duo Duo's shameless stubbornness, the scene in the cave that day would uncontrollably surface in her mind every time she faced this man. All of this caused ripples in Holy Maiden Mulan's usually calm state of mind.

The Ladies' Gathering had been held for several sessions, but it had never been as lively as it was today. The simultaneous appearance of two extraordinary figures, the Empire's rising star Duke Duo Duo and Holy Maiden Mulan of the Temple of Nature, made these ladies feel incredibly honored.

Therefore, this gathering lasted much longer than previous ones. Late into the night, Lewis's drunken sister, who was also the host of the event, reluctantly stepped forward and announced its end.

"Dodo...don't...don't go...we...we'll have a little more..." Surrounded by a group of noblewomen, Lewis was so drunk he couldn't even recognize his own father, his speech slurred and incoherent. He clung tightly to Dodo's arm.

Fortunately, Lewis's sister appeared just in time, ordering servants to pull Lewis aside and free Dodo.

"Your Grace, Duke Dodo, please excuse my rudeness..." Lewis's sister was a beauty among the elves, younger than Duchess Martha, tall but somewhat frail, not Dodo's type of voluptuous woman.

Dodo smiled and said, "It's nothing, Lewis and I are good friends.

It's an honor for him and for the Newman family to be your friends." Lewis's sister smiled alluringly, a slight flush rising to her pretty face from her intoxication, making her exceptionally beautiful. "

Duke Dodo, do you have some time later?" Lewis's sister continued, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a captivating charm: "You can't spend all your time with Duchess Martha..." Dodo secretly felt a surge of attraction. If he weren't in the mood, he wouldn't have turned down such a beauty's offer. After all, he had boundless energy, and the more beautiful women throwing themselves at him, the better.

At the same time, Dodo sighed inwardly. Everyone said elves were noble and aloof, but the atmosphere among the nobility seemed no better than among human nobles—it was practically decadent. No wonder Duchess Martha had been so confident when she came, telling him that she could get anyone she fancied into bed.

Dodo smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have other things to attend to. Perhaps another day?"

Lewis's sister smiled and said, "Another day?" "Your Grace, may I take this as a promise?" "

Of course it's a promise! How could I bear to disappoint such a beautiful lady like you? It would be my honor to have the opportunity to spend time with you someday," Dodo said sincerely. "Your

Grace, you're so kind. So, it's settled then?" Lewis's sister chuckled. "

Then I'll take my leave. Thank you for your hospitality," Dodo said with a bow, glancing back at Lewis's sister as he left, giving her a teasing wink.

As Dodo walked out the door, he saw Duchess Martha and several other ladies gathered around Saint Magnolia and the Queen, discussing something.

However, Duchess Martha's eyes kept glancing towards the door, clearly distracted. It seemed their discussion was a pretense; they were actually waiting for Dodo.

As Dodo approached, the ladies greeted him warmly, some even giving him flirtatious glances.

Dodo responded politely to each one, a charming smile appearing on his handsome face, utterly captivating.

"Your Highness, it's an honor to meet you today. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Duo Duo bowed and said, glancing at the Queen, still preoccupied with how this woman had embarrassed him, and didn't greet her.

Saintess Mulan looked at Duo Duo, smiled faintly, and nodded, but remained silent.

Duo Duo couldn't wait to get away from Saintess Mulan; until he had a concrete plan, he felt it was best to minimize contact with her.

"Duchess Martha, may I ride in your carriage?" Duo Duo asked with a smile.

Duchess Martha nodded and smiled, "It would be my honor to ride with Duke Duo Duo back in the same carriage. "

(Chapter 546:

The sounds of swallowing and spitting filled the carriage, the small space instantly filled with a passionate atmosphere.)

However, Duo Duo wasn't entirely satisfied. Although his body was beginning to feel desire, his mind was in turmoil, preventing him from fully immersing himself in the experience.

Duo Duo's mind was filled with the image of Saint Mulan, and the words she had spoken to him that evening kept echoing in his ears. This made him somewhat absent-minded and filled him with a sense of panic.

In other places, Duo Duo wouldn't have given such a woman a second thought, but this was elven territory. Dealing with Saint Mulan meant that almost all the Great Elves would become his enemies. With his current strength, he estimated that a single spit from each of them could kill him.

Most importantly, during his interactions with Saint Mulan, Duo Duo had secretly sensed the magical fluctuations around her, and the results surprised him greatly. Yana had told him that Saint Mulan's strength was roughly equal to Yana's, but now it seemed that if Yana's assessment wasn't wrong, then Saint Mulan's abilities had increased dramatically. Duo Duo's senses revealed an unfathomable power… This meant that even if Duo Duo attacked Saint Mulan, he had no confidence in defeating her. At this moment,

after a series of swallowing and spitting, Duchess Martha felt the enormous object in her mouth grow even harder and longer. She couldn't wait any longer and got up, lifting her torn skirt to reveal her round, white buttocks. She straddled Duo Duo's legs, aimed, and swallowed the entire thing in one gulp.

"Mmm…" Duchess Martha let out a comfortable groan, slowly rising and falling.

Suddenly, Duchess Martha stopped. She looked at Duo Duo curiously.

The man before her wore such a solemn expression, showing no sign of enjoyment whatsoever. This filled Duchess Martha with a sense of frustration and intense curiosity. "

Master, what's wrong?" Duchess Martha looked down at Duo Duo, asking with a puzzled expression.

Duo Duo opened her eyes, looked up at Duchess Martha, and smiled, saying, "I'm a little unsettled." "Something

on your mind? You were fine just now. Is it because your slave hasn't brought you pleasure?"

Duchess Martha was a captivating beauty in the eyes of men, the most famous socialite in the upper echelons of the Giant Tree Empire, not only because of her stunning appearance but also because of her seemingly understanding personality. Of course, this so-called understanding was a facade; she could only be so understanding because she had a thorough understanding of men's hearts. She could discern a man's mood from a subtle detail in his expression or gesture.

Duo Duo wrapped her arms around Duchess Martha, kneading her plump buttocks, gently lifting and slowly lowering her, slowly thrusting in and out.

"Master, what's wrong?" "I want to get the Queen..." Duchess Martha asked sweetly. Duo Duo hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "I want to get the Queen..." Duchess Martha paused, then laughed. Getting the Queen was much easier than getting the Saint Mulan Duo Duo had mentioned earlier.

"Hehe. You're not worried about her being your mother-in-law this time?" Duchess Martha chuckled mischievously.

Duo Duo glared at her, then chuckled, "You dare tease your master? Do you want me to punish you?!" After some thought, Duo Duo decided to focus his attention on the treasure map. Those unaware of its existence might think the rumors about its existence were just gossip, but Duo Duo didn't consider them rumors. He already had a large portion of the treasure map in his hands. Moreover, Duo Duo was skeptical about the rumors that the treasure contained the secret to godhood. What if it was true? If he could become a god, would the current troubles still be troubles?

"Master, punish your slave girl severely..." Duchess Martha slowly moved her hips, her two large breasts repeatedly slamming against Duo Duo's face.

Duo Duo laughed and said, "Alright, this is your own choice, so don't beg for mercy later!" "

Come on, my dearest master, punish me severely with your weapon, fuck your slave girl to death!" Duchess Martha said crudely.

Duo Duo understood the solution to the problem and simply stopped caring. There was no point in arguing anyway, so he might as well take it one step at a time and enjoy himself for one day at a time! Duo Duo vigorously kneaded Duchess Martha's buttocks, his arms gradually increasing in strength, lifting her high each time and forcefully lowering her. The slapping sounds of flesh colliding grew increasingly intense, and Duchess Martha's moans gradually rose in pitch. If it weren't for the small soundproofing magic arrays installed on all the noble carriages in the Elf Empire, Duchess Martha's moans would probably have caused traffic chaos.

Dodo lifted Duchess Martha and placed her on the car seat, her legs spread wide and resting on the armrests. This position maximized the exposure of Duchess Martha's intimate area, allowing him to penetrate deeper and thrust more forcefully. "

Hehe, be careful you don't have the strength to get out of the car later," Dodo said with a lewd grin, standing between Duchess Martha's legs, his massive member erect. "

Master, put it in... put it in... fuck me hard..." Duchess Martha gasped, her eyes glazed, her expression utterly alluring.

Dodo didn't waste any more words, aiming at her and thrusting his lower body forcefully, penetrating deeply, almost making Duchess Martha's soul fly away. Dodo

gave Duchess Martha no chance to catch her breath, his movements rapid and powerful, fully enjoying the intense pleasure brought by her tight, beautiful vagina. After his previous agitation, this became his best form of relaxation.

"Mmm...oh..." Duchess Martha's moans never ceased, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes weak. Her hands gripped Dodo's arms tightly, her legs spread wide, trying her best to please him, offering her entire body.

After an unknown amount of time, Duchess Martha hovered at the peak of climax several times before Dodo finally released his desire.

Driven by a desire for unbridled indulgence, Dodo didn't use any of his Nine Yang Energy, resulting in his clothes being soaked with sweat after such intense activity.

(Chapter 547: Night Visit)

To be able to meet the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Nature's main hall and have the opportunity to speak with her face-to-face would normally be an opportunity Catherine would absolutely desire, but now, she simply had no desire for it.

"Your Highness..." a maidservant called out softly at the door, her expression fearful.

Catherine, in a bad mood, turned and glared at the maidservant, saying, "Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to disturb us!"

The maid, pale with fright and trembling, stammered, "Duke Os of the Giant Tree Empire said he has something very important to discuss with you, and that it's something you most want to hear, so I... I..." Catherine's expression softened slightly, a question lingering in her mind: what was Duke Os doing here at this time?

Catherine harbored no goodwill towards Duke Os. Back in the Suman Mountains, he always feigned compassion while thwarting her ruthless methods, which she found deeply repulsive.

But hearing the maid relay Duke Os's words, Catherine felt a surge of curiosity. What was it that she most wanted to hear? What could Duke Os possibly say that she most wanted to hear?

After a moment's hesitation, Catherine said, "Please invite Duke Os in."

The maid quickly nodded and left. A moment later, the impeccably dressed and elegant Duke Os, with his signature gentle smile, followed the maid in. "

Princess Catherine, it's been a long time." Duke Os bowed and said, "In terms of rank, I am a duke of a country, naturally not as high as Catherine's, but the necessary etiquette cannot be omitted."

Catherine nodded slightly and smiled, "Duke Os, what brings you to see me today?

I've been wanting to visit Her Highness the Princess. But as you know, I've been busy with the Princess's wedding lately, and there have been many trivial matters. Please forgive me." Duke Os said.

Mentioning Lucy's wedding, Catherine naturally thought of Duoduo. Her expression darkened slightly, and her smile vanished. "

I heard you have something important to discuss?" Catherine said casually, gesturing for Duke Os to sit down.

Duke Os said, "Your Highness must be in a bad mood lately." "

What do you mean by that?" Catherine raised an eyebrow.

Duke Os said, "I heard that your two princes are impeaching you? Saying that a princess is no longer suitable to serve as the commander of the Magic Legion?"

Catherine's expression changed drastically. She was already in a bad mood because of this matter, and Duke Os was simply bringing up a sore spot. Was this guy here specifically to make fun of her?

Catherine sneered, "Your Highness Duke Os, I didn't expect you to care so much about our country's affairs?"

Duke Os's expression turned serious. He said solemnly, "Princess Catherine, I have something important to discuss with you, so I've been a bit direct. Please don't take offense." "What is it?" Catherine asked.

Duke Os said, "I hope we can cooperate and help each other. In return, I will use the military strength of the Giant Tree Elf Empire to help you ascend the throne of the Heavenly Vine Empire. I heard that your father, the Heavenly Vine Emperor, has been seriously ill and has not yet recovered. It seems that the most crucial moment is approaching!"

Catherine was immediately moved and said, "Duke Os, what exactly do you want to say? I hope you can be more explicit. "

Duke Os got up and closed the door behind him. Under Catherine's surprised gaze, he walked to her side and began to speak softly.

While listening to Duke Os, Catherine's expression changed very complexly, showing that Duke Os's words had a profound impact on her.

Their discussion lasted a long time, ending only at midnight.

When Duke Os left Catherine's room, his expression was visibly relaxed, as if he had achieved his goal.

Inside Catherine's room...

Catherine sat in a chair, summoning a maid to prepare a steaming, fragrant cup of fruit wine for her. She sipped it slowly, her brow furrowed in deep thought.

The matters discussed with Duke Os had greatly shocked her; she hadn't expected the seemingly gentle Duke Os to be such a cunning and ambitious schemer.

However, she had to admit, the conditions Duke Os offered were very tempting—not only would he help her ascend the throne, but he would also cede a portion of the Giant Tree Elf Empire's land to the Heavenly Vine Empire.

(Chapter 548: Peeping)

Yana frowned and said, "Strange, why would she ask you? If she suspected I was right beside you, with her status, she could easily enter the palace herself. If her strength is truly unimaginable, she could sense my presence if she's not too far away."

Duo Duo was taken aback; he didn't understand either, and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Never mind her, we still need to be careful!"

Yana nodded and said, "Master, I've implicated you."

Duo Duo slapped Yana's bottom hard and said, "Saying that deserves a severe punishment! You're my precious little slave girl. If anyone tries to harm you, don't even mention a damn saintess; even if the Goddess of Nature came, I'd fight her to the death!" Duo

Duo's words made Yana's eyes redden, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, looking at Duo Duo with gratitude and boundless love.

"Master, thank you," Yana said, feeling truly happy.

Duo Duo chuckled and said, "If you really want to thank me, then thank me in bed...hehe."

Yana blushed, burying her head in Duo Duo's arms, her delicate body trembling, letting out soft sobs.

Duo Duo gently patted Yana's back. To distract her, Duo Duo's eyes darted around, and suddenly he said, "Yana, shall we do something?"

Yana looked at Duo Duo with teary eyes and asked, "What is it?" Dodo whispered in Yana's ear, "Let's go spy on her."

"Spy? Spy on whom?" Yana asked curiously.

"The Queen!" Dodo chuckled.

"Huh?" Yana looked at Dodo in surprise.

Dodo didn't say much, took Yana's hand, and unleashed his Nine Yang Energy, shooting off like lightning.

Dodo, currently the Chief of the Palace Guards, although he spent his days idly, leaving all the work to the incredibly enthusiastic Andri, wasn't completely neglecting his duties. There were certain things he should be aware of procedurally, such as the distribution of the palace guards' sentry posts.

And now, his knowledge of that distribution map provided him with great convenience. They moved swiftly, weaving through the guards' posts without alerting anyone, and quickly found the Queen's palace. "Hey, the Queen's quarters are really shabby," Dodo said, looking at the small courtyard and the old, mottled walls of the palace. "

It must be quite boring for the Queen." "I've gained a hollow title, but lost my freedom," Yana whispered.

Duo Duo turned and laughed, "My little slave girl is really quite the talker now!"

Yana gave Duo Duo a sheepish look and said, "I've been reading a lot of books with Lucy and Youhun lately..." Just then, Duo Duo suddenly noticed a faint whooshing sound coming from the Queen's villa. He gestured for Yana to be quiet and carefully led her closer, hand in hand.

In a secluded corner, Duo Duo and Yana soared up the wall, using the shadows of the overhead branches to conceal themselves perfectly.

When they found their spot and looked inside, both Duo Duo and Yana were instantly stunned.

In the villa, two bottles of fruit wine sat on a stone table, and just above the table, not far in the air, the Queen, dressed in a white gauze dress, floated and danced gracefully.

In the night, under the brilliant starlight, a stunningly beautiful woman... The graceful dance created a breathtakingly beautiful scene. "

Good heavens, this is how you dance... I never knew it could be like this..." Duo Duo stared intently at the Queen's figure, her gaze following every movement.

Yana was also mesmerized. As a woman, she had never received any dance training, and her environment didn't allow her such entertainment. Watching the Queen's enchanting dance, she felt a pang of shame. Turning to look at Duo Duo's stunned expression, she secretly resolved that she would definitely learn to dance someday, to dance for the man she loved.

Little did she know, at that moment, Duo Duo was contemplating a wicked thought: "What would it be like to do a striptease with these moves?"

The Queen danced lightly, her robes fluttering in the evening breeze, her dignified and beautiful face radiating a blissful expression. Only when immersed in dance were she truly relaxed, free from worries.

A profound silence fell over the world.

On nights like this, the whole world seemed to belong to her, and only at such times did she ignore everyone's cold treatment of her.

The Queen… ha!

A queen even nobles dared to covet her—what did they take her for?

A wanton woman wearing the queen's crown?

She hated it, hated the unfair treatment, hated the king, and hated herself even more… The queen's dance gradually slowed, finally ending with her sitting on the stone table, downing the remaining fruit wine in her cup.

In the cold moonlight, the tears rolling down her beautiful cheeks resembled two glistening pearls.

When she first became queen, everyone revered her; her family treated her like a goddess. But when she fell out of favor with the king, that reverence vanished. Those who once respected her began to secretly cast lecherous glances at her, and even her own people turned cold.

It all felt like a dream, a dream both beautiful and terrifying. The stark contrast caught her completely off guard; it was as if everything had changed overnight.

Should she blame others?

She should blame herself. If she hadn't succumbed to sweet words, treating that man as a confidant, allowing him to take advantage of her, and if Lucy hadn't witnessed it all, she wouldn't be in this predicament. She

had to taste the bitter wine she had brewed herself.

Tears streamed into her glass; the fragrant wine brought her only endless bitterness. Setting down the glass, the queen slowly rose into the air, beginning the next round of dance. Every day was like this; without the numbing effect of alcohol, without using dance to exhaust herself, she couldn't sleep peacefully.

Chapter 549 Nothing is as simple as

it seems. Duoduo turned her head towards the Queen's palace and whispered, "She is my prey. Don't forget, the last piece of the treasure map is in her hands."

"Master..." Yana hesitated, wanting to speak, but was interrupted by Duoduo. Duoduo said, "Yana, besides you, anyone I judge is only whether they have any use. There's no emotion involved. You must understand this. I want the once cold-hearted Dark Elf Saintess back by my side. Now is not the time to be too kind."

Yana's body trembled, and she silently nodded. Looking up at Duoduo, she asked, "Master, is there anything I can do?"

Duoduo smiled and said, "Yes!" "

What does Master want me to do?" "Yana will never disappoint Master," Yana said in a deep voice.

Duo Duo chuckled, hugged Yana, and said in an incredibly suggestive tone, "What Master wants you to do now is come back to the palace with me and help me rape You Hun...hehe..." Yana blushed and said, "You Hun's turn isn't until tomorrow...Today it's Lucy and me, so...so I'll help you go back and rape Lucy..." Duo Duo asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'taking turns'?"

Yana blushed and said, "It was something Lucy and I discussed together. If too many people are with you every night, it'll be almost dawn by the time we're done, which will affect your rest too much. It's okay occasionally, but if it's like this every day, we're worried about your health."

Hearing Yana's words, Duo Duo felt a warm current surge in his heart. His dear women had even considered these things for him. Facing these gentle women, what reason did he have not to bravely face anything? Duo

Duo took Yana's hand and laughed, "Your master is the invincible tornado in bed, haha, let's go, if we're going to take turns, let's start tomorrow. Tonight we'll have a group battle."

"Ah? Master." It's almost dawn... Whatever, dawn it is, I'll keep going until the sun shines on my backside, no one can escape... Haha, Duoduo, pulling Yana along, disappeared into the night like lightning... Morning.

After completing the procedural prayers at the inn, Saint Mulan sat in a chair, drinking fragrant water infused with flower petals. Her brows furrowed slightly.

Last night. She hadn't slept a wink all night; whenever she closed her eyes, Duoduo's image and that terrifying scene in the cave would appear in her mind.

Saint Mulan hesitated. Having grown up in the Temple of Nature, interpersonal relationships were her weakest point.

She thought that going through Duoduo instead of personally entering the palace to search would show her sincerity, but that despicable fellow completely failed to understand her good intentions. Not only did he stubbornly deny it, but what angered Saint Mulan most was that, during her conversation with Duoduo, she actually saw a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Is he an idiot?" Saintess Mulan thought to herself. As the first person cursed behind her back by a saintess, she didn't know whether to be happy or frustrated.

At this moment, a nature archer entered and bowed to Saintess Mulan with a temple salute. He said, "Your Highness, the matter of the Death Scroll has been investigated. The Death Scroll in Giant Tree City may have been passed down from the last great battle between the Great Elves and the Night Elves. None of the branch temples have any records of this scroll."

Saintess Mulan frowned and said, "Is that possible? Don't you know that the Death Scroll also has an expiration date? After a hundred years, the magic will naturally disappear. How many hundred years has it been since the last large-scale battle?"

The nature archer was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "What I just reported to you were the investigation results from the various temples, Your Highness..." Saintess Mulan waved her hand and said, "Go and tell the three high priests about these things immediately. The Temple of Nature needs a serious overhaul! Good heavens!" Such a blatant lie actually appeared in our Temple of Nature! Who dared to do such a thing? Aren't they afraid of the Goddess of Nature's punishment?

The Nature Archer hurriedly nodded and turned to leave, but was stopped by Saintess Mulan. Mulan said, "What about the matter of that imposter in the Giant Tree Empire's palace? How's the investigation going?"

The Nature Archer said, "I've already relayed it to the branch temple of the Giant Tree Elf Empire, and they've begun their investigation."

Saintess Mulan sighed deeply and said, "Have you forgotten that I told you to investigate yourselves?"

The Nature Archer said with difficulty, "Your Highness, but... but according to regulations, the affairs of the Giant Tree Elf Empire should be managed by this branch temple. If we... if we intervene ourselves, won't..." Saintess Mulan raised an eyebrow and said, "Won't what? Do as I say. Don't rely on them. Since someone has impersonated a temple member and infiltrated the palace, endangering the royal family, even the branch temple is implicated. I hope you can give me an answer!"

The Nature Archer nodded solemnly and, at Saintess Mulan's signal, turned and left.

Saintess Mulan sat in her chair, slightly panting. Even with her usually calm demeanor, she couldn't help but feel angry at such a situation. She had originally thought the Temple of Nature was a place beyond worldly affairs, far less complicated than the relationships within the Elf Empire. But now it seemed that things weren't so simple.

Chapter 550

: Colluding with each other. Duke Os sneered: "High Priest Potter, are you trying to distance yourself now? Putting aside everything else, you personally opened the fake temple personnel's message. If I were in trouble myself, that message I carefully kept might be found..." High Priest Potter's face changed drastically. He said: "Os, are you threatening me?!"

Duke Os said: "Your Excellency, how could I dare threaten you? I'm just reminding you how close our friendship is..." High Priest Potter looked at Duke Os, feeling disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly at this insidious fellow. He wished he could immediately swat this damned little bug, but could he? No, as Duke Os said, he had already made a mistake. If that letter were discovered, he would face the temple's most severe punishment.

Then, Duke Os's next sentence plunged him into despair.

"High Priest Potter, there's something I forgot to tell you. The imposter temple staff member was actually a night elf..." Duke Os dropped another bombshell.

Boom!

High Priest Potter felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind, leaving him swaying and completely blank.

Good heavens!

What was that bastard Os thinking?

How could he have such audacity? If it were merely the imposter being exposed, he could say he had been deceived by Os and would at most receive a severe punishment. But if the imposter was a night elf, then he would face the death penalty!

High Priest Potter's face turned deathly pale. He pointed at Duke Os and stammered, "You...you..." Duke Os suddenly became serious. He said, "High Priest Potter, we are now bound together by fate. Things aren't as bad as you think!

What should we do..." High Priest Potter, like a defeated warrior, lowered his head completely.

Duke Os leaned closer to High Priest Potter and muttered something softly.

High Priest Potter suddenly shuddered and staggered. He exclaimed in shock, "Os, how could you have such audacity! It's terrifying, terrifying!"

A sinister look appeared on Duke Os's face. He said, "What else can we do? Die together? This is a gamble, but think about it, what are the chances of success? If we succeed, we won't die. We'll enjoy wealth and glory."

Then... Duke Os sneered, "High Priest Potter, the Holy Maiden has begun investigating the temples of the Giant Tree Empire. If she discovers that when you were choosing the Holy Maiden, the nominally chosen one was actually just a sex slave for the branch temples… hehe, the result will be far worse than I imagine, won't it? At that time, even your teacher, the Priest of the Main Temple, won't be able to protect you.

Os, you devil, your heart is blacker than the heart of the Night Elves, your nature is more cruel than the Night Elves!" High Priest Potter cursed, his face pale. "

High Priest Potter, instead of cursing me, use that energy on something more important!" Duke Os said contemptuously. He despised people like Potter the most. They flock to things when there are benefits, but try to walk away when there is a crisis. "

You… how much chance does your plan have of success…" High Priest Potter said weakly.

Duke Os laughed heartily and put his arm around High Priest Potter's shoulder. He said, "That's right. My plan has almost no chance of failure, and if it succeeds, we can pin everything on the Night Elves. You know, Prince Silver Eagle still has many Night Elves who can be our scapegoats. All you need to do is intercept the messages from the Holy Maiden to the main temple of the Temple of Nature, and the messages from the main temple to the Holy Maiden, and delay them for a few days."

Then, Duke Os chuckled lewdly, "After we succeed, you'll receive not only a lot of wealth every year, but also a hundred beautiful Elven virgins and a hundred human virgins. I think Prince Silver Eagle will definitely grant you this request. By the way, haven't you always been lusting after the Queen? I'll find a way to let you have your fill." "

How can I be in the mood for that now? Damn it, you'd better make your plan even more meticulous! If it fails, Os! I will use all my divine power to curse your bloodline, so that everyone in the Os family will never escape the torment of the curse!" High Priest Potter said viciously.

Duke Os said nonchalantly, "As long as we work together, we will succeed!"

Then he added, "Is there anything else?" "If not, I'll be leaving. My lovely ally, Princess Catherine, is waiting for me to discuss further plans with her!"

"Os, you will destroy the entire elven territory!" High Priest Potter said in a trembling voice.

"It's better than us being destroyed!" Duke Os said coldly, then stepped into the six-pointed star magic circle. After a dazzling burst of light, he disappeared.

High Priest Potter slumped to the ground, his expression incredibly ugly, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.

After a long while, he called over a low-ranking priest and ordered, "From now on, all messages from the main temple, as well as messages that the Holy Maiden ordered us to forward, must be reviewed by me." "

Yes, High Priest." The low-ranking priest replied in a low voice.

In the royal palace of the Giant Tree Elf Empire.

Dodo, accompanied by Andri, inspected the various sentry posts.

Andri smiled obsequiously: "Duke Dodo, as you instructed, I've recently been brainwashing those guys and starting to recruit some frustrated but capable legion soldiers from various legions into the Royal Guard."

Dodo nodded and smiled: "Will the legion commanders cooperate? Will they hand over their soldiers to us?"

Andri said: "I have a few good officer friends in various magic legions. If we take a liking to a soldier, my officer friends just need to find an excuse to expel him from the legion. Those soldiers are ostracized in the legions and have no status. No one will care if they're gone."

Dodo

recalled that when he first met Andri at the banquet at Duke Os's mansion, he thought these guys were all powerful noble scions. But it wasn't until he met Lewis and the others at the banquet at Commander Soth's mansion that he realized they were from completely different worlds.

The treatment of idle, dissolute young men is completely different from that of the future noble elites of the empire. "

Find me a few trustworthy people and tell them to carefully observe their family's movements and report any unusual activity to me immediately," Dodo said in a deep voice. "Don't be stingy with gold coins. Any necessary expenses can be obtained from the palace steward. Just say I'm acting on orders. Also, tell them that as long as they do well and listen to us, we won't mistreat them."

The word "we" delighted Andrei. Dodo cleverly made Andrei feel that these matters not only belonged to Dodo but also to him. "

Yes, Duke Dodo, I'll take care of it right away," Andrei said, bowing.

Dodo smiled and said, "Lewis of the Newman family is inviting me for drinks tonight. Come with me."

Andrei said somewhat awkwardly, "But he didn't invite me… We invited him many times before, but he completely ignored us."

Dodo laughed and said, "What does it matter? Before?" "Back then, you were just Earl Andre, a mere scion with a nominal title. Now you're the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guard, the second most powerful figure in Giant Tree City! Besides, Lewis is my friend, and you're my brother. What's wrong with having a drink together?"

These words made Andre incredibly happy, and he nodded repeatedly, turning away with tears of gratitude.

Dodo watched Andre's retreating figure, a satisfied smile appearing on

her face, before turning and walking towards the palace. Lucy, Wandering Soul, and Yana were already waiting in the palace in casual clothes. The simple attire didn't detract from their beauty; instead, it added a unique charm.

Dodo had promised them that morning. Such a beautiful, sunny day was perfect for shopping. She felt a little guilty for neglecting them in the palace these past few days, having been busy with those troublesome matters.

Alice and Maria sat on the sofa to one side, Alice especially looking on with envy at Yana and the others who were all ready to go, feeling incredibly disappointed. She just didn't understand. She had tried so hard to please Duoduo, so why hadn't her status improved?

"Beauties, I'm here!" Duoduo shouted as he entered the palace.

Then, making an exaggeratedly lewd expression, he said, "Beauties, who told me to touch your butts first... Shameless!

Lewd!"

Lucy and Youhun laughed and cursed in unison, dodging Duoduo's claws that were specifically targeting their lower bodies.

Yana watched with a grin, not expecting Duoduo to suddenly change course while grabbing Youhun and Lucy. He pulled her, the onlooker, into his arms. "

Behold my invincible breast-grabbing hand!" Duoduo shouted out the name of this awesome martial arts technique he had seen in a movie in his previous life.

As he spoke, he accurately grabbed Yana's high breasts with both hands, enjoying the softness in his palms.

Yana screamed in perfect unison, her expression one of fear and panic, like a victim facing a pervert.

"Alright, alright, what's all this fuss about? This is never going to end. Look at your dirty hands, you've even gotten Yana's chest dirty..." Lucy said, pulling on Duo Duo's arm.

Duo Duo subconsciously looked at his hands. Damn, they really weren't clean. Looking at Yana's chest, if she hadn't been wearing a dark dress, there might have been obvious handprints. "

Hehe, our Prince Consort, Your Excellency the Duke, you didn't go out early this morning to find a place to play in the mud, did you?" You Hun teased.

Duo Duo turned to look at You Hun, who was wearing a light pink dress. He couldn't help but chuckle, waving his dirty hands as he rushed over, scaring You Hun into screaming and running away.

When a person changes, it's evident in every detail, like their clothing. Before, the wandering spirit always wore that heavy black robe, but now she seems to increasingly prefer these feminine, warm-colored clothes. Perhaps she herself doesn't realize it, but under Duo Duo's love, she has already softened... Just as Duo Duo was about to leave with the three beauties,

Yana's delicate body trembled, and she suddenly stopped. "

What's wrong, Sister Yana?" Lucy, caught off guard, almost bumped into Yana and asked in confusion.

Yana listened intently, and after a moment, walked to Duo Duo's side and said, "Master, Booker is summoning me." Duo Duo

was taken aback and said, "Where is he? I'll go with you."

"No need, don't spoil Lucy and the others' fun. I'll go see for myself, it'll be alright," Yana said with a smile. "

Are you really alright?" Duo Duo asked with concern.

Chapter 552 Maria's Little Scheme

Ever since Toto kidnapped Felicity from Mandala City and staged that scene outside the city, Toto's disgust for Felicity reached its peak for a time. Although this disgust stemmed from severe jealousy, it was undeniable that Toto's male dignity had been thoroughly trampled upon by Felicity.

Therefore, after arriving at Giant Tree City, even Maria gained her freedom, but Felicity was not so fortunate.

Toto didn't even want to see her. When they moved into the palace at Duke Os's mansion, Lucy mentioned Felicity to Toto, but Toto interrupted her with extreme annoyance.

Helpless, Lucy had to make arrangements to make Felicity as comfortable as possible.

This room, if not for the old carpenter's godlike presence, would have been quite comfortable and peaceful.

But Felicity's situation was terrible; Toto used the magic of the chastity ring to control her, and even though Lucy wanted to help, she was powerless to do so.

Although Maria had lost her magical abilities, she still possessed some practical skills; for example, she quickly opened the lock on the door.

However, she dared not enter the room.

The old carpenter, now a soul puppet, had no familial affection. If Maria rashly entered, he would undoubtedly carry out Duo Duo's orders and assassinate her.

Father… Maria stood at the doorway, looking at the old carpenter's vacant, expressionless face, and tears streamed down her face.

Such a calamity had befallen her and her father—was this a curse from God? Or had the god they believed in abandoned them?

Maria had been enduring it all, daring not to show any emotion in front of others. She already knew that surviving adversity required bearing hardship and humiliation, otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

She had no other thoughts. She just wanted to be able to steal a few glances at the old carpenter. She hadn't felt it when they separated before, but now her affection for her father seemed to surge like a raging flood, unstoppable. She was the one who had dragged him down; if it weren't for her, perhaps he would still be living a peaceful and uneventful life in that small carpenter's shop in Mandala City.

Maria. Don't cry, that devil will be punished.

It seemed this wasn't the first time Maria had done something like this; Felicity recognized Maria.

Bound by the magic of the chastity ring, Felicity had become much thinner. Her once round face was now a slender oval, and her skin was very pale from prolonged lack of sunlight.

For Felicity, this period of confinement, though painful, was far better than facing that devil every day and having her body toyed with by him.

If it weren't for the magic of the chastity ring constantly infusing her soul with energy, she would probably be dead by now. It was precisely this inability to die that made Felicity suffer so much; death had become a luxury.

Retribution? Maria looked up resentfully, saying, "Felicity, do you know what's happening outside? That devil's luck is just too good. There's no way he'll get his comeuppance. The Imperial Prince Consort, the Chief of the Royal Guard… It's a pity I can't contact my master, otherwise he would definitely save me." Even now, Felicity hasn't given up on her fantasies about Sith Kane. "

Your master?" Maria paused. "

Yes, Maria. I don't want to hide it from you anymore. My master is Sith Kane of Mandala City," Felicity said. "

The president of the Hermit Guild?" Maria asked in surprise.

"Ah? You know him?" Felicity's voice held a hint of surprise. "

Yes, I've heard of him. The Hermit Guild is a gathering place for the strong," Maria said.

Suddenly,

Maria's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Will he really save you?"

"Yes, definitely. My master is a man of great loyalty and compassion. Although he must be resentful of me now, he won't abandon me once he knows the truth. I would be willing to die just to see him..." Felic said sadly. "

Perhaps I can help you pass on a message to him!" Maria suddenly said. "

Really? If it's really possible, that would be wonderful. But I'm afraid of implicating you. You know how cruel that devil is," Felic said.

Although Maria's intelligence organization hadn't developed much in the elven territory, a world apart from the human territory, it didn't mean there was no intelligence network there. There were still a few contacts. The reason Maria hadn't considered this was firstly because she hadn't had the opportunity, and secondly because the members of the intelligence network were all skilled intelligence agents, but lacked martial arts and magic experts. There had been some, but they had all perished in Mandala City. Maria

understood very well that with Duo Duo's current strength and influence, if she wanted to mobilize the intelligence network to save her, it would be tantamount to sending her subordinates to their deaths.

But now things are different. She unexpectedly learned that Felicity was actually Sith Kane's slave, and it seemed their relationship was quite close.

Hmm... perhaps the ability to relay messages could be used.

Maybe she should give it a try?

If Sith Kane really did rescue Felicity, she might get a good opportunity. Even if the rescue failed, it would be good to cause some trouble for that devil. The trouble caused by the Hermit Guild would definitely give that devil a headache. Maria

had basically resigned herself to her fate, but subconsciously she was still unwilling. As long as there was even the slightest opportunity, even if it only caused Duo Duo some trouble, she would be happy to see it. Anyway, even if the Hermit Guild wasn't Duo Duo's match, how would Duo Duo know that she was the one secretly plotting? In the end, it would be Felicity who would suffer... On the most bustling street of Giant Tree City,

Lucy, the Wanderer, and Alice strolled aimlessly around Duo Duo.

Because the Suman Mountains were not yet open, almost all the goods from human-controlled areas were sold out during this period. Even if there were any remaining stock, they were of poor quality and no one wanted to buy them.

"Why isn't the Sumatra Mountains open yet? I'll have to ask Father when we get back," Lucy pouted.

The Wanderer chuckled, "There's quite a lot of goods here, but they're all from the elven territory. You get tired of seeing them after a while. I think they're pretty good." The Wanderer was already carrying several small bags; it seemed she had a good haul.

Duo Duo smiled, "Just buy some for now. Once the Sumatra Mountains open, I'll splurge and buy you even more, okay?"

(Chapter 553: The Paul family's

so-called inspection was really just the vanity of the noblewomen; they simply wanted to show off their wealth.)

Duchess Paul was a beauty, especially tall—a rare height among elven women, even taller than some of the elven men Duo Duo had seen. Her figure was curvaceous and alluring, befitting her height. "

You are Duke Duo Duo?" "Hehe, I've been hearing your name all the time since I returned to Giant Tree City. It's such an honor to meet you so soon," Duchess Paul said with a smile.

Duo Duo was taken aback, but thankfully Duchess Martha explained, "Duke Paul has been managing the Paul family's mines on his private estate for the past two years. He only returned to Giant Tree City yesterday, and that's why he dragged us out to go shopping with him today."

Lucy whispered to Duo Duo, "The Paul family is the richest family in the Giant Tree Empire, controlling 60% of the economy. Several consecutive finance ministers have been from the Paul family."

Duo Duo suddenly understood, giving Duchess Paul a careful look. She thought to herself, "Damn, she's really a wealthy woman! No wonder she owns such a bustling street in the capital."

To control a country, besides military power, there's the economy. Duo Duo, with her memories from her previous life, had learned this from television and movies. Thinking of this, Duo Duo couldn't help but secretly observe Duchess Paul more closely.

Duchess Paul clearly noticed Dodo's lingering gaze on her, and secretly felt smug. She was always confident in her beauty and believed that few in the entire Elf Empire were worthy of her, not even her husband, Tom Paul. Tom Paul, though a renowned handsome man and economist in the Giant Tree Elf Empire, was at least a head shorter than Duchess Paul. More importantly, there was an incident that Duchess Paul had never forgiven her husband for. Duchess Paul

subtly straightened her posture. Even Alice, a woman considered tall even by human standards, was shorter than her, only about half a head shorter than Dodo. Standing in a crowd, she and Dodo would undoubtedly be the most conspicuous.

Duchess Martha, quick-witted and astute, noticed the exchange of glances between Dodo and Duchess Paul, and then smiled, "Duke Dodo, you haven't held a banquet for us since your wedding." "How can that be..." Duo Duo understood immediately and smiled, "In that case, how about I arrange a banquet tomorrow night?"

Duchess Martha said, "No, Duchess Paul just returned to the capital. She's been in that remote, impoverished place for so long. Please arrange it tonight, so that Duchess Paul can reintegrate into our atmosphere."

Duo Duo sneered inwardly, "Damn it. Managing a territory's mines, what kind of mines would a family of pure noble blood take so seriously? And now they're calling it a remote, impoverished place... Fine, tonight it is. I'll go back and order preparations." Duo Duo smiled. "

It's settled then, see you tonight," Duchess Martha said.

Duo Duo nodded. Duchess Paul and another noblewoman bowed to Duo Duo in thanks and then left with Duchess Martha. "

All I do is have banquets all day long..." Lucy muttered discontentedly.

Duo Duo smiled, "My little princess, are you jealous?"

"Tch! Who would be jealous of you? You lecherous fatso." "You really think I don't know you're having an affair with Duchess Martha?" Lucy glared at Toto.

Toto immediately felt guilty and chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Don't talk nonsense."

Lucy giggled, "Fatty, still being stubborn? I'm ignoring you, I hope you'll behave yourself. Let me tell you, we don't care if you mess around outside, but if you add any more sisters to the group, you'd better watch out!"

"Ahem...the weather's really nice today..." Toto said with a forced laugh, "Hmm...if you don't choose anything, I won't pay next time...you dare!" Lucy snapped, "Fatty, keep interrupting! Just remember what I said, or you'll be sorry!"

The wandering soul chimed in from the side, sounding rather sinister, "Lucy, I don't mind killing people to maintain our numbers...I'm speechless!"

Toto stared in disbelief, "Is it that serious? Please, I'm just playing along. Putting this much pressure on me will affect your man's sexual function...I really want to cut off that troublesome thing of yours!" Lucy said coquettishly, her expression exaggerated, clearly fake.

Duo Duo, looking distressed, approached Lucy and said, "My little princess, have you forgotten that troublesome thing of mine makes you scream with pleasure every night... you fatso, I..." Lucy glared at Duo Duo, her pretty face flushed.

Duo Duo laughed and said, "Anyway, if that really happens, I'll definitely ask for your opinions, okay?"

"Good job!" Lucy said coquettishly.

The group chatted and laughed, strolling leisurely through the bustling streets.

Although Duo Duo smiled broadly, a hint of anxiety flashed in her eyes from time to time. Where was Yana now?

In a secluded mansion in Giant Tree City, the old mansion was dilapidated, clearly a poor man's dwelling.

Inside the room, Yana and Booker were talking.

"Your Highness, I've contacted my people. They know I met you and are eager to see you," Booker said.

Yana asked, "Are they still with Prince Silver Eagle?"

Booker's face darkened, and he said helplessly, "Yes, that's all we can do for now, because we haven't found a better solution.

You can send them to Mandala City; our people are all living in seclusion there, and the other elders are there too." Yana hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Your Highness, I just received news that Prince Silver Eagle has sent several of our people to the Giant Tree Elf Empire, saying they're here to assist me. Has Duke Os not told Prince Silver Eagle about the situation here yet?" Booker asked疑惑地.

Yana frowned and said, "My biggest worry was that our people would suffer retaliation. Legend has it that Prince Silver Eagle is a treacherous and ruthless fellow."

Booker shook his head and said, "They shouldn't. They don't know the true situation here. The reason for their failure might be that I was discovered and forced to release Purgatory. Besides, even if Prince Silver Eagle were to retaliate, our people wouldn't be harmed with their abilities. Before they came, I told them to be careful." "

When will the people arrive?" Yana asked.
