Free Web NovelChapter 557: Events in the Elven Forest
While it is true that primarily, he just want to help these ladies given that they were once close friends of her student and his only relation in this continent, Liliana, Su Xiaotian isn’t planning to do this all for free.
Getting to know the kind of influence these ladies and their backing has in this place however, he thought that he already had the perfect idea on what he could get in exchange for helping them with this problem of theirs.
"If it’s just that, there’s no need to worry too much about it."
As soon as those words escaped out of his lips, his student, as well as her friends, couldn’t help but direct their attention towards him, a conflicted expression, a mixture of shock and doubt on their beautiful faces as the meaning of his words struggles to sink into their mind.
Despite being of the same generation, their womanly instincts tell them that this young man is younger than them by quite some years, meaning that he has less time than them to learn about all the things in the world, less time to improve himself, and less time to increase his own strength.
And yet even then, the doubts that should’ve been starting to take root in their minds couldn’t grow, as they already had a first-hand experience of this immortal-like young man’s terrifying prowess, the mental realm that drowned them blood and bones something that sends shivers down their spines every time their minds recall even a fraction of it.
"I am also part of the reason why everything is developing like this, so if they really decided to push for it, I will face those dragons..."
The immortal-like young man declared without a single trace of hesitation, light of confidence brimming beneath his gaze, something that proves itself to be fatally attractive to the ones looking at her right now.
Once again, the five ladies stares dazed at the young man’s handsome figure, that manly expression on his face causing them to lose track of time as the fail to realize that they had been staring at him for several moments now.
"Of course, I won’t do it for free, but given your combined influence, my request won’t be too hard for all of you to fulfill..."
Seeing them nod as if they already accepted his help, Su Xiaotian’s smile grew wider as he finally found the perfect opportunity to strike this little deal, the young leaders of each respective races, looking at him with curiosity in their eyes.
It was truly clear for everyone to see that they wonder what is it that this young master, whose strength none of them can fathom, even want from them, their minds thinking if there’s even anything worth their attention for him to request.
’Is it... us?’
The collective minds of these five ladies arrived at a single conclusion, causing a faint blush to appear on their cheeks as they imagine this being the only thing that this immortal-like figure can take interest on, their beauty, as after all, it is the five of them who stands at the very peak of the young ladies in this continent.
If only they knew that each and every single one of the immortal-like young man’s lovers stands at least a couple of level higher than them in terms of charms and appearance, they would’ve assumed otherwise.
Of course, even without them knowing such fact, they are bound to be disappointed as Su Xiaotian states his condition, the five of them paying as much attention as they can, prepared to agree to whatever he asks.
"Information, I want information on something..."
"Y-yes!!"
It seems that his words have yet to sink into their mind before they agree, causing them to pause for a while as they were thrown into confusion once they finally understood his request, prompting them to look at him with a questioning gaze.
Had it been anytime else other than now, Su Xiaotian would’ve laughed at their expressions, thinking of them adorable, yet now, his face merely cracks into a smile before he starts explaining his request.
"Simple, right? I just want to borrow your forces’ information network for a while..."
"For... what purpose, exactly?"
"I’d rather not have anyone meddling with it, Miss Orvus."
"We can help more if we know about it, you know?"
"I appreciate the intent to put more effort to my request, Miss Lilith, however, let’s just say it is something that no one can help me with, of course, other than providing me with information."
Seeing his adamant stance on not giving them information or just anything else regarding what he truly wants, these young leaders of their respective races couldn’t help but release sighs of defeat one after another.
They knew it very well, if they want the opportunity to escape from the grasp of the dragon race whose strength just continues to grow day by day, they had to rely on the chance that this young man is offering them.
Even without the certainty of him being capable of standing at the same level and going in an equal ground against the current dragon emperor, they were certain that it wouldn’t be a bad decision, as there is just no way that someone even younger than them can grow to such heights without some supreme master standing behind his back.
Hence the reason why they can only nod in agreement as they began to listen to his request, expecting to receive a difficult one about finding some mystical treasure, some legendary being’s tomb or anything else related, only to get themselves confused once more as they heard the simple request.
"I want thorough record of all the odd things that happened anywhere your information networks’ observation is capable of reaching, it doesn’t matter what it is, some weird natural phenomenon, some living beings who bears significant difference, whether form, appearance and the likes..."
"So, any peculiar events?" the beastkin beauty asked with one of her hands covering her fiery lips, her eyes already turning sharp as if she’s already thinking about information related to the immortal-like young man’s request.
"Yes, even anything related to them, although I guess you can pay more attention to ones that brought about more changes than the others..."
Su Xiaotian added, assuming that whatever it is that the hidden Divine-level being came here for, there is just no way their existence wouldn’t brought about big changes in this continent as after all, they are existence incomprehensible not only for the Western Continent, but for the entirety of the Sky Soul Star in general.
"Alfia, what about that guest who came to the Tree of Life a couple of months ago?"
"Hmm... that’s true, it’s a really odd event after all, but they already told us explicitly that they shouldn’t be disturbed from whatever they’re doing under any circumstances... although, they seem quite benevolent so there’s a chance that they will allow a meeting with you, Sir Su." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
As he heard those words from the dream demon princess and the elven priestess, Su Xiaotian’s attention was immediately piqued, his senses telling him that even if it is not exactly the Divine-level being that the elves encountered, there is just no way that being currently in the elves’ territory is not related to it.
