Chapter 532: 499 "Don’t... don’t come any closer...!

Amidst such noise, Elf Country finally welcomed the night.

The nights in Elf Country, compared to the days, undoubtedly became more beautiful.

Despite being deep in the forest with fierce demons everywhere outside, Elf Country was protected by a barrier, unaffected, resembling a village on an enchanted night, permeated with a faint tranquility and peace.

The Light Tree radiated a soft brilliance.

Fairies and butterflies also danced about, dragging long tails of light, drawing beautiful patterns in midair.

Creatures like unicorns appeared to have already gone to sleep.

The elves seemed to be engaged in post-dinner activities; some were taking walks, others were doing some handicraft work, seemingly preparing for the next morning’s life in advance.

Shane and his companions had also settled into their treehouse and had dinner.

Dinner was prepared by Lasha.

This formidable Big Sister had somehow, at some unknown time, sourced a pile of ingredients that no one had ever seen before and then calmly succeeded in cooking, making a luxurious dinner.

The dishes for dinner, according to what was said, were types Lasha had never made before.

However, although these were dishes she had never made before, they were so delicious that one could want to swallow the plates and tonges, almost more magical than Elf Country itself.

Fortunately, Shane had already given up being too curious about it; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to sleep at night.

In the end, the phrase "Big Sister is unbeatable" settled it.

After dinner, everyone just gathered to chat for a while, then dispersed on the spot.

"I’m sleepy, don’t call me if it’s nothing."

Ai Yi quickly dropped this line, then immediately retreated to her room and snored away.

"I’ll go look for Merica."

For some reason, Luoqi had this idea, seemingly very concerned about what Merica was currently doing and quickly left.

Shane initially wanted to follow, but found that the girl had already run out of sight.

"Why run so fast?"

Shane was quite displeased.

He seriously suspected that this princess couldn’t contain herself any longer and wanted to go out and have fun.

Since coming to Elf Country, this girl had been restlessly wanting to play, and now she must be curious about the night scene of Elf Country?

There’s nothing wrong with that.

However, to leave her own husband behind and go play outside alone was not an approach he encouraged.

"I’ll deal with you later tonight."

Shane noted this grievance, then turned around to go back, planning to cuddle with Lilith, the little girl, and entertain her to pass the time.

To his surprise, Lilith was also asleep.

"Miss Lasha, I will take care of Lilith."

Lasha, holding the already soundly sleeping Lilith, went straight back to her room.

Shane stared in bewilderment at all this, then suddenly realized.

"Am I being abandoned?"

Yes.

He was abandoned.

In this village not so friendly to men, he was left behind by the girls around him, turned into a lonesome man.

"I..." Shane wanted to curse but then he sighed and said, "Fine, I should also sleep early."

Thus, Shane returned to his room and lay on the bed.

It’s worth mentioning that here, the beds were not the soft, warm quilts but rather tree beds resembling hammocks.

Vines extended from the walls of the room, intertwined into a net, which was covered with unknown herbs and leaves, emitting a refreshing fragrance that was very pleasant.

Shane tried it and found that this bed was not wobbly like a hammock, very stable, not only did it not make him uncomfortable but it was so cozy that he didn’t want to get up, coupled with the lingering fragrance, Shane almost fell asleep instantly.

"No wonder those two little girls went to sleep so early."

Shane realized.

When choosing rooms in the daytime, Ai Yi was extremely satisfied with this kind of bed, and Lilith had been bouncing on it for quite a long time. Influenced by the external atmosphere of tranquility and peace at night, it was understandable that they wanted to sleep early.

Shane glanced outside the window and then discovered that You Lin had flown to the Queen’s Palace, lying directly on the treetop, comfortably asleep.

That scene almost made Shane believe that this village had been occupied by this dragon, now sleeping at the highest point of Elf Country, posing like a lord.

"That guy is taking revenge for what happened during the day, isn’t he?"

Shane nearly laughed out loud.

He knew that because of the day’s events, You Lin’s impression of the Elf Clan had hit rock bottom, and now lying at the highest place in Elf Country to sleep, with the Queen’s Palace below, was clearly intended to annoy those elves.

"This little female dragon is becoming more human-like."

Shane mused.

Although You Lin was intelligent before and could understand human language and respond to some extent, she wouldn’t have made such a human-like move.

Until recently, Artlu’s Black Dragon seemed to be becoming more human-like; not only would she roar a few times upon seeing the beautiful scenery, but if someone spoiled her mood, she would retaliate like this, deliberately annoying others, a far cry from her past.

"Could it be that she’s really about to undergo a Human Transformation?"

Shane had used "Outer Destiny" to peek and discovered that magic power inside You Lin seemed to have undergone some changes.

It wasn’t a case of more or less power, but it seemed like the way it worked had changed.

In the past, You Lin had a lot of magic power, and it was strong, but it only "existed" inside her body, like stored energy.

But now, You Lin’s magic power, like that of Human Race life forms, wasn’t just stored but also circulated in a fixed pattern.

Although still somewhat clumsy and complicated and ambiguous in meaning, Shane always felt that continuing like this, the magic power inside this dragon’s body would operate in a cycle like that of the Human Race.

When that time comes, would it be the moment for this girl to transform into a human form and advance to Demon Clan?

"I have to say, I am somewhat looking forward to it."

Shane gave a slight smile, deciding to "supplement" the Mother Tyrannosaurus’s diet in the future.

His Magic Power would definitely be very useful for that girl, whether it was absorbed to enhance her strength or deciphered to learn the Human way of using Magic Power. You Lin would definitely need it.

As long as he kept providing Magic Power, perhaps You Lin could shorten the Human Transformation time and, at the very least, enhance her Level and strength—why not?

After all, Shane now had so much Magic Power that he had no use for it all. Even if he used some, it would recover in an extremely short time. Providing a bit more for You Lin was not a bother at all.

"The rest is up to that girl herself."

After saying that, Shane left the window, glanced at the bed, thought for a moment, and decided not to lie down.

"Let’s take a bath first."

Usually, he indulged in a bath every day, comfortably soaking before going to bed, which had become a habit.

Now, asking Shane to skip the bath and go straight to sleep—that was something he really couldn’t do.

"But, where is the bathroom?"

Shane scratched his head and made a full circle around the treehouse, but he could not find a bathroom or bathing area.

"I’ll go ask outside."

Finally, Shane left the treehouse and went outside.

...

The treehouse where Shane and his party stayed was very high, extremely high, at least a hundred meters above ground.

It was chilly at night, but there was no strong wind at such a high place. It was unclear whether it was Elf Country’s Barrier blocking the wind or some Magic mechanism at work.

After coming out from the treehouse, Shane simply leaped down directly.

Normally, when leaving the treehouse, one would take a bridge made of tree vines to be lowered to the ground.

Unfortunately, as romantic and magical as it looked, it was a bit of a waste of time.

If he was with everyone else, Shane wouldn’t mind spending time slowly descending, but since it was just him alone, he didn’t bother with such hassle and just jumped straight down.

This height, if it were in his past life, would definitely result in broken legs at best if Shane dared do such a thing.

Now, Shane didn’t need to do anything special to easily mitigate the force of the fall, descending to the ground as if riding the wind, both stable and graceful.

Then, Shane began wandering around Elf Country.

His goal was to catch an Elf and inquire about the bathroom.

However...

"Excuse me, miss..."

When Shane encountered an Elf girl and tried to strike up a conversation, before he could finish his sentence, she ran away at full speed.

Shane fell silent for a moment, then turned to another direction, looking for another passerby.

"Excuse me, beautiful..."

As Shane spoke, he ended up scaring her.

"Don’t...don’t come any closer...!"

She screamed, panicking as if she had encountered a rogue during a nighttime stroll, and ran off.

Shane fell silent again before switching his target.

"Excuse me, miss..."

"Ah!"

"Excuse me, big sister..."

"Eek!"

"...Excuse me, mate?"

"Aaaaah!"

"Excuse me..."

"Man... man...!"

"..."

"..."

About ten minutes later, Shane stood expressionlessly in the middle of the street, watching as the Elf scattered around him, screaming as if facing a plague. He finally admitted a fact.

That was, here, he was starkly being rejected.

"Maybe I should just destroy this village..."

Shane murmured.

A voice immediately responded to him.

"What sort of terrible thing are you saying over there?"

Hearing this, Shane turned, looking behind him.

There, an Elf girl was staring intently at him, as if viewing a dangerous person.

Who else could it be but Carol?

"So you’re here?"

Shane, completely unsurprised, spoke indifferently.

"What do you think?" Carol also replied calmly and defiantly, "With such an unstable element appearing in our village, how could I not keep an eye on you?"

"So?" Shane retorted slightly, "So you just watched me suffer unfair treatment in your village?"

"It’s not unfair," Carol frowned and countered, "This is the treatment all men receive in Elf Country."

It turned out to be fair, after all.

...You think I’d say that?

Fair my ass!
