Free Web NovelChapter 155: Chapter 76: Shh~ Don’t Let the Children Hear~
Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, an incredulous look on his face. He never would have imagined that Beiya Leila would come here!
"You..."
Before Su Xuan could ask why she was here, Beiya Leila had already slipped gracefully into the pool.
Water splashed, and a few drops landed right on the corner of Su Xuan’s mouth. But his mind was completely focused on Beiya Leila, leaving him no time to bother with the sweet droplets.
"Mr. President~ I was just bathing the children. Sorry to keep you waiting~"
Beiya Leila pressed close to Su Xuan, her soft, snowy-white skin clinging to his right arm. The sensation was wonderfully intoxicating.
"Ahem~ I don’t mind." Su Xuan tried to hide his nervousness and remain calm.
’So the Elf Race’s Elf Tree Pool... is for co-ed bathing!’
"Well then~"
Beiya Leila gently raised her hand. In her palm lay a tender sprout from the Elf Mother Tree. "Let me help you~" she said in a soft voice. "Fuli and Flora both love it when I wash them~"
"This..." A ripple went through Su Xuan’s heart, as if stirring a deeply buried memory. He said softly, "Then I’ll leave it to you."
"Don’t worry~ I’ll be very gentle~" Beiya Leila gently crushed the Elf Mother Tree sprout, carefully squeezing out the fresh sap. The sap could be used like a body wash and gave off a faint, pleasant fragrance of leaves that felt fresh and clean.
As Beiya Leila gently and meticulously applied it, the sap from the Elf Mother Tree evenly covered Su Xuan’s body.
The fresh scent of the sap, intertwined with Beiya Leila’s gentleness, brought Su Xuan an unprecedented sense of comfort and relaxation. He closed his eyes, immersing himself in the unique experience, feeling her fingertips glide across his skin. It was as if all his fatigue and stress were being released in that moment.
But Beiya Leila’s fingertips suddenly brushed against the forbidden part of the Holy Light!

"Please don’t squirm~"
!?
Faced with such an awkward situation, Su Xuan chose to distract himself by biting down on the straw and furiously slurping his juice. However, he quickly finished the drink, and suddenly he had nothing to relieve the awkwardness.
Beiya Leila watched him furiously slurping from an empty cup. She looked confused at first, but soon she smiled and said gently, "I’ll refill that for you~"

Meanwhile, the Elf Queen had returned to her chambers.
She said softly to Alina, "You may go rest."
Alina replied respectfully, "Yes~"
With that, she left the chambers.
After Alina had gone, the Elf Queen slowly walked to the mirror. Her gaze fixed on her reflection as she asked in confusion, "What was that Power? Why was I, even in the real world, affected by it?"
The Elf Queen in the mirror smiled and replied, "Who knows? They are blessed by the world. That kind of Power may be beyond our comprehension. Even beings such as ourselves must sometimes ask them for help, no?"
The Elf Queen agreed with her reflection’s words. She nodded, her azure eyes turning to look at the bright moon in the sky.
"The night is so beautiful tonight~" the Elf Queen murmured, her voice soft and poetic, as if she were singing a sweet ballad to the tranquil night.
"It is~" the reflection continued. "A pity you have no one to share this beautiful view with."
"But I have you, don’t I?" the Elf Queen responded with a smile, as if conversing with her own inner self. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"But I *am* you. We are one and the same," the reflection replied, a hint of resignation in her voice.
"Has that young man gone back yet?" the reflection asked, changing the subject to Su Xuan.
"Not yet. My Perception tells me he’s still within the lands of the Elf Race," the Elf Queen answered.
"He and Rella seem to be getting along well?" the reflection continued.
"Mhm~" the Elf Queen affirmed. "Their relationship is very... intimate."
...
"Lady Rella... are we not done yet?" Su Xuan asked, a little troubled. He looked at the water in the Elf Tree Pool, which had almost been dyed white, then at the empty cup in his hand, feeling rather bewildered.
’I’ve already drunk three cups of honeydew!’
"Just a moment longer. I have to make sure every part is sparkling clean," Beiya Leila replied with a smile. She was determined to carefully scrub every inch of his skin, especially that searing Holy Light, which required a particularly thorough cleansing.
"Mom, where are you?" Just then, the voices of Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo called out from a distance, shattering the tranquil atmosphere.
"We’ll be done in a minute~" Beiya Leila quickly called back, a hint of nervousness in her voice. She clearly didn’t want her daughters to find her washing Su Xuan.
"Are you with the President?" Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo asked, their voices growing closer. They were clearly heading in this direction.
"Hold on..." Beiya Leila’s cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly straightened the washcloth, then rose gracefully to her feet, ready to greet her approaching daughters. freeweɓnøvel.com
Su Xuan also realized the urgency of the situation. He quickly said, "Ahem~ Lady Rella, something’s come up. I have to get back."
With that, he grabbed his clothes from the side and scrambled out of the Elf Tree Pool. The searing Holy Light was still flickering; if he stayed any longer, Fuli and Flora might discover the little secret between him and their mother!
"Mhm~" Beiya Leila nodded gently, waving goodbye with a smile. "I look forward to seeing you again~"
A dazzling white light flashed, and Su Xuan returned safely to the Guild.
He took a deep breath as a notification flashed before his eyes.

"I didn’t expect bathing in the Elf Tree Pool to have such a magical effect..."
Su Xuan murmured, then walked briskly toward the practice room.
Even though it was after nine at night, he could still hear the sound of Rosaline swinging her sword in the practice room.
When he entered the practice room, he was captivated by the sight before him. Rosaline danced with the Oath Sword, its tip glowing with a pure white Sword Aura that seemed to scatter like soft moonlight. Her fluorescent-blue spiritual form moved through the air like a figure in a living painting.
"I believe I’ve had a new insight," Rosaline said, suddenly stopping her movements and turning to Su Xuan.
’Another new insight?’ A flicker of curiosity appeared in Su Xuan’s eyes. ’Is Rosaline about to master a new Sword Technique?’
’I remember last time she developed the High-tier Swordsmanship "Water Moon" into "Fallen Moon." Could she be about to master a Super-tier Swordsmanship directly this time?’
"However..." Rosaline raised the Oath Sword and pointed it at Su Xuan.
"I need your help."
The moment she finished speaking, a notification appeared in Su Xuan’s vision.
