Chapter 543: 508 "Beast Demon

Taiger Forest, Elf Country.

When Shane returned from outside and approached the hot spring-like Magic Power Source, Milu and Lide were still there.

"Ai Yi! Ai Yi!"

Milu was still clinging to Shane’s thighs, shaking them persistently; her intentions were quite clear.

"Okay, okay, shall I take you to see Ai Yi now?" Shane sighed, "I wanted to take another bath and clean myself up first."

Because Milu and Lide had disrupted his bath, Shane hadn’t really enjoyed it and was naturally a bit dissatisfied.

"Bath?"

Milu tilted her head, glanced at Shane, then at the hot spring, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing this, Shane was initially taken aback but then an idea struck him.

(Would this situation turn into a joint bathing session?)

Shane’s dissatisfied expression instantly changed, becoming full of anticipation.

With that, Milu let go of his thighs and step by step, ran towards the hot spring.

This made Shane somewhat excited.

However, reality was cruel.

"Hey!"

Milu dipped her tiny hands into the hot spring and then suddenly splashed, emitting a cute noise.

"Boom!"

A huge surge of water was splashed up by Milu from the hot spring, like a torrential downpour, instantly drenching Shane.

"Eh?"

Shane let out a silly noise, and concurrently with his excited feelings, was completely soaked by the downpour.

After the water subsided, there stood Shane, drenched and dumbfounded like a wet chicken, taking quite a while to recover.

"Bath! All done!" Milu ran back, clung to Shane’s thighs again, smiling beamingly, "Ai Yi! Ai Yi!"

So, the little girl didn’t want to share a bath with Shane; instead, she hastened the bath to hurry and meet Ai Yi.

In the simplest and most brutal way.

"I..."

Shane felt his spirits plummet.

Damn, this bath was worse than no bath at all.

"Phew! Hahaha!"

Lide, lying on Minu’s head, witnessed all this and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

That unrestrained laughter enraged Shane, who then grabbed the little fluffy creature and began tormenting it earnestly.

"You did that on purpose, didn’t you? On purpose?"

Shane, furious, rubbed and twisted Lide.

"Hey! Stop it! You can’t treat me like this!"

Lide, apparently not expecting Shane to lay a hand on him, or perhaps not expecting that someone would dare to do so, was shocked and then began to struggle, his voice filled with annoyance.

Shane didn’t care and vented fiercely, slightly alleviating his frustrated mood.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to see Ai Yi."

After tossing Lide back on Milu’s head, Shane wiped the water from his face and helplessly led the way.

"Ai Yi! Ai Yi!"

Milu, previously stunned by Shane’s rough treatment of Lide, snapped back to reality, happily following him.

"This brat, to dare treat me like this..."

Lide lay on Milu’s head, straightening his ruffled fur while muttering resentfully.

Shane ignored him and continued leading the way on his own.

After leaving the area of the hot spring, Shane then saw it.

Saw Carol pacing back and forth on the open ground ahead, looking quite troubled and agitated.

"You’re back...!?"

Carol, who seemed to have noticed some commotion, turned around, saw Shane and immediately rushed over excitedly.

"So agitated?"

Shane didn’t expect this reserved elf girl to be so worried about him, and was momentarily surprised.

Who would have thought, Carol, overcome with emotion, raised the magic wand in her hand without a word and struck at Shane’s head.

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, Shane caught Carol’s magic wand, stopping it just above his head.

"I knew it."

Shane had a look of expectation.

"Let go!" Carol snapped back her magic wand, glaring at Shane, bitterly saying, "Haven’t I told you not to engage in suspicious activities?"

Clearly, Shane’s disappearance had really upset Carol.

"Suspicious activities?" Shane blinked, looking innocent, "I was just taking a walk nearby, does that count as being suspicious?"

"You...!" Carol, furious, yelled, "Do you have any idea that because of you, Lady Ai and Goddess Lilith almost caused a huge commotion in Elf Country?"

This... Shane really didn’t know.

However, he could imagine the situation.

"It seems I made them anxious." Shane scratched his head, smiling wryly, "That’s set then, I’ll definitely be scolded when I go back."

Carol responded to these words, but it was Lide who had talked.

"It seems that girl really cares about you," Lide sighed with mixed emotions, "She got so anxious just from being away for a bit. It’s hard to imagine this is something Ai Yi would do."

"Yes, yes!" Milu nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"You are...?" Only then did Carol notice Lide and Milu, her anger replaced by confusion at the sight of the duo.

Shane didn’t pay her any attention.

"Let’s go, we should head back quickly."

Shane then called to Milu and Lide, planning to take them back to the treehouse.

However, Lide spoke up at that moment.

"You take Milu first," Lide told Shane, "I need to see the Elf Queen."

The one who reacted to these words wasn’t someone else but Carol.

"See the Queen?" Carol wasn’t shocked that Lide spoke eloquently, but rather became alert and asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to see the Queen?"

Carol stared at Lide with a face full of suspicion.

"Don’t worry, little Elf girl," Lide said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "I’m just going to talk to Sophie about what happened in Taiger Forest. I won’t harm her."

"Little... little girl?" Carol’s expression froze.

It wasn’t because Lide had called her "little girl," but because Lide had called Sophie, the Elf Queen, "little girl."

After all, as the Queen of the Elf Clan, Sophie had lived for thousands of years.

Those who could call such a Sophie "little girl" could be counted on one hand in all of Omni Potanssen.

And clearly, those few people were all individuals of a higher status than Sophie.

How could Carol not freeze?

But Lide was no longer paying her any attention.

"I’ll come over directly in a while," Lide addressed Shane, "Keep an eye on Milu for me, don’t let her wander off, okay?"

Having said this, Lide stood up from Milu’s head for the first time and immediately transformed into a black shadow that swept out at high speed, disappearing towards the direction of the Queen’s Palace.

"Wait...!"

Carol tried to stop her but was too late.

That made Carol instinctively want to chase after her.

"Come on, sister, save your worries, don’t bother about so much, okay?"

Shane reached out and grabbed the vice division commander of the Elf Corps by the collar, pulling her back.

"What are you doing!?"

Carol struggled.

Unfortunately, Carol might be a skilled Mage, but she definitely wasn’t a skilled athlete.

Her struggles were nowhere near enough in front of Shane.

Shane calmly carried the struggling elf girl while holding a delighted Milu with the other hand, as he walked toward the treehouse and spoke,

"Why bother?" Shane said, "If she really wanted to do something to your queen, then your queen would have died a thousand years ago."

With these words, Carol’s activity also froze.

"A thousand years ago...?"

When that sensitive year was mentioned, how could Carol not suspect something?

Back then, Sophie, as the Elf Queen, not only led the Elf Clan to participate in the final battle against the Demon King but also joined forces with Leiya, Nia, and the rest of the legendary heroes from the Human Race, forming a group of thirteen heroes to fight against the Beast Demon from the Six Great Demons.

Now, mentioning a thousand years ago, saying that the mysterious little creature wanted to do something to the queen implied that the queen would have already been dead at that time, which didn’t need further clarification.

"Could it be that talking Demon is...?"

Carol shivered.

Only then did Shane smile with delight.

"Of course, it’s your queen’s old rival."

That was precisely the situation.

...

Elf Country, Queen’s Palace.

At that moment, Sophie, who was sitting on the throne, had already opened her eyes and stepped down from her royal seat.

Ahead of her, Leiya and Nia had also arrived, both wearing tense expressions.

Sophie moved in front of these two close ministers, watching ahead.

There, the furry mysterious creature appeared, landing in front of these three legendary Elf Mages.

"Long time no see, Sophie,"

Lide said with a grin to the three familiar faces.

Seeing this creature, which was significantly smaller than before a thousand years ago yet still exuded an aura of terrifying ferocity, Sophie took a deep breath.

Leiya and Nia had already bowed.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Leiya and Nia bowed respectfully, their tones filled with reverence.

Sophie did the same.

"It really has been a long time."

Sophie’s voice carried respectful as she spoke,

"Beast Demon, Her Highness Lide Domar."
