Bai Ling admitted that she was sowhat tempted by Leticia's proposal.
If the elven race beca chaotic and weakened, it would naturally be a good thing for humanity. The only problem was that Leticia's demon race seed to also benefit quite a bit from this.
With this give and take, Bai Ling couldn't figure out what decision to make for the ti being.
Fortunately, there was still plenty of ti for her to think about the pros and cons.
After all, the more important thing right now was to take Evangelyne, who looked like she was about to die, back for treatnt. They couldn't just stay in this wilderness that had nothing.
Who knew how long it would take for Evangelyne to wake up like that.
Getting her back to Central City as quickly as possible for professional dical treatnt was the correct choice.
So after briefly packing up, Leticia's group headed toward Central City first.
Xue'er parted ways with Leticia to notify Iyeft and Guild Leader that they could wrap up and go ho, while also seeing if she could catch Songstress.
However, it seed she had caught wind of sothing. Xue'er wandered around the wilderness for almost two days, searching nearly the entire wilderness, but couldn't find any trace of Songstress.
She had probably escaped.
If soone really wanted to hide in the wilderness, it was quite convenient.
Unless they deployed massive manpower and resources for a carpet search, trying to find one person in the wilderness was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, Xue'er did have an unexpected gain. While looking for Songstress, she found the lost Aina. This directionally-challenged Heavenly King's position could be called extrely ridiculous—she was nearly a hundred kiloters away from that small town.
If Xue'er hadn't found her, this girl would probably have walked all the way to the border between humans and beastn.
"How does Senior Sang plan to handle that Yi Yujun?" At this ti, Leticia was already comfortably lying at ho, continuing her decadent lifestyle.
She planned to wait until Evangelyne woke up before returning to the Demon Realm, so these days she was packing things while waiting for the little empress to awaken.
Bai Ling had beco busy. She reported everything that had happened these days to Senior Sang in detail and handed over the Yi Yujun she had captured.
She also reported the matters about Eden and that priest, but Senior Sang didn't seem to care much about this.
"Senior Sang didn't say, but I think she'll probably just lock her up." Bai Ling scratched her head. After all, the other party's status seed quite high, and she possessed divine power, so just killing her outright would yield too little benefit.
Senior Sang probably planned to use Yi Yujun for so operations, trading her for sothing in return.
But these weren't problems Bai Ling needed to worry about. She just needed to be responsible for cutting people down—other matters could be left to more professional people.
"What about Evangelyne's matter? You didn't tell her?"
"I did, but Senior Sang said to let decide this matter."
"She really trusts you." Leticia curled her lips, then pushed away Bai Ling, who was almost pressing against her body, with so displeasure. "If you're watching TV, just watch TV. Why are you pressing over here?"
"You're about to leave, and you won't let stick close for a while longer?" Bai Ling pouted and said quietly.
Leticia was montarily exasperated. Didn't this guy understand why she wanted to leave? Wasn't it to maintain distance from her?
There would be no result between them.
"Look at how Little Xi looks at Evangelyne now. I think we could also..."
"No way, impossible!" Leticia said fiercely. "Speaking of Xi ngyao, I still want to ask you sothing. Are you really planning to let her keep these mories?"
"Ah, is there sothing wrong with that?" Bai Ling tilted her head.
Leticia covered her face. Of course there was sothing wrong! After Evangelyne woke up, she probably wouldn't accept Xi ngyao's feelings either.
She herself was a victim of cross-species romance—how could she repeat the sa mistake?
"Little Xi is an ordinary person, and now look at what she's experienced these past few days? Adventuring with the Elven Empress, escaping with the unconscious Elven Empress from under the demon race's Heavenly King." Leticia counted Xi ngyao's experiences these days one by one on her fingers. "These things are too heavy for her, an ordinary person."
"Evangelyne will definitely go back, and rather than having Xi ngyao always thinking about her, it's better to erase these mories. That would be good for everyone."
"But shouldn't we ask her?" Bai Ling frowned.
"Of course we should ask. After Evangelyne wakes up, I'll have a good talk with both of them. If she really doesn't want to forget these mories, then I won't force her either." Leticia indicated she wasn't a bad person—she would still reason with them and appeal to their emotions.
"I see. Can't they really be together?" Bai Ling was still sowhat unwilling.
This wasn't because she wanted to play matchmaker, but because from this matter, she could see Leticia's attitude toward cross-species romance.
Unfortunately, Leticia's attitude was quite resolute. She was very pessimistic about and unsupportive of such romances.
"When the world is truly at peace soday, lovers like them will be able to be together." Leticia sighed. But ideals were plentiful, reality was harsh.
By the ti the world was truly at peace, whether their generation would still be around was hard to say. Even if they were, they'd probably be ancient and decrepit.
"Lovers like them?"
"We are absolutely, absolutely impossible, understand?" Leticia snorted. "Xi ngyao is just an ordinary human. She can abandon everything and fall in love with Evangelyne, but can you? Can I?"
"No." Bai Ling shook her head.
Power brought responsibility. She couldn't abandon the human race and be with Leticia without reservation, and Leticia couldn't either... probably?
"You said you didn't want to be Demon King, right?" Bai Ling rubbed her hands together slyly. "Let Qila beco Demon King, and you abdicate."
Hearing this, Leticia didn't hesitate to knock Bai Ling on the head. This guy could actually say sothing like this—quite impressive.
"You think I can just abdicate whenever I want? The demon race can't do without . Qila can't suppress those old schers under her."
It wasn't that Qila wasn't smart enough, but her strength wasn't quite sufficient. Suppressing those big nobles would be very difficult.
"After I ca to power, I cleaned house once. The current bunch are much more obedient than before, but they basically only listen to . In their eyes, Qila is just a child who hasn't grown up." Leticia said.
"Speaking of which, I originally planned to stuff several of them into my harem."
Bai Ling's fist hardened.
When Candice knocked on the door, Leticia and Bai Ling were still fighting fiercely, their hands tightly grasping each other. From the expressions on their faces, this was definitely not so flirtatious ga between lovers.
Hearing the knock, the two quickly separated and straightened their expressions and clothing. Then, after exchanging a glance, Bai Ling consciously went to open the door.
"Miss Bai, Your Majesty, Her Majesty Evangelyne has awakened." As soon as the door opened, Candice delivered very good news—Evangelyne was awake.
Leticia imdiately walked out from the living room. "How is her condition now?"
"Recovery is good, but the toxins in her body are in an active state, constantly bringing her pain." Candice said. "I have no way to neutralize these toxins. Probably only the elven race has a solution."
"Sigh, as expected, we still have to send her back." Leticia had anticipated this. In her plan, Evangelyne was supposed to return to the elven race anyway. "Can I go see her now?"
"Of course."
Since Evangelyne had checked in with a 'family mber' this ti, Candice had moved to another room, while her original room was occupied by Miss Xi ngyao.
This young lady had also taken quite so ti to stabilize her emotions after experiencing so much. In the first few days after returning, every ti she closed her eyes, she would dream of being chased by strange monsters.
She would be scared awake several tis every night, which left this young lady sowhat dispirited.
When Leticia and Bai Ling arrived at Evangelyne's room, they saw Xi ngyao already asleep on top of Evangelyne, and Evangelyne with a smile on her face.
How did it feel like these two girls had sothing going on?
"Miss Bai, Your Majesty Leticia, thank you both for saving ." Seeing Leticia and the others arrive, Evangelyne quickly put away the smile on her face. She lowered her voice and said to them, "Little Xi is resting, so could you please keep your voices down?"
"Of course." Leticia moved a chair over from the side. "Ahem, we'll talk about relationship matters later. Your internal poison can't be delayed any longer."
Speaking of the poison, Evangelyne's expression beca sowhat unpleasant. She could feel the weakness coming from all parts of her body. If this wasn't resolved, she might not be able to get out of bed for the rest of her life.
During her unconscious days, she hadn't been completely unconscious but had been pulled into the divine artifact space by Qing and Flora for tutoring.
What surprised Evangelyne was that Qing actually agreed completely with her ideals.
This divine had even said things like "It would be best if Elves disappeared from this world."
Her resentnt toward the elven race seed very deep.
But these were historical legacy issues that had little to do with Evangelyne. She just needed to know that Qing also supported her.
"The poison I was given is specially formulated by the elven race to prevent elven emperors from using divine artifacts without authorization or betraying them. Although it won't kill , without an antidote, I might never be able to live normally for the rest of my life." Evangelyne explained. "I have to go back."
"The divine artifact you ntioned..."
"It's this one." Evangelyne raised her right hand, revealing the erald green ribbon wrapped around her wrist. "This is our elven race's staff. I brought it with when I ran away."
No wonder the elven race was so anxious to find Evangelyne. Good grief, she had even taken the staff with her.
This was basically equivalent to Leticia running away while carrying off the demon race's throne—quite damaging indeed.
"But I rember you said you threw this thing away?"
"Actually, I only learned that day that every elven emperor can summon the divine in the staff. As long as the divine is willing to respond, the staff can appear instantly beside the summoner." Evangelyne answered.
This answer made Leticia fall silent. Divine artifacts were just too convenient.
Also, how was Lin Qingyu's luck so good? The attitudes of those two divines in her artifacts were way too good.
They were complete opposites of that bastard Fog God.
Bai Ling didn't know that Evangelyne had escaped with two divine artifacts. She thought this was the only divine artifact Evangelyne had.
But this didn't prevent her from feeling uneasy about divine artifacts. "Divines are very dangerous."
"This is soone else's divine artifact. Stop nagging about it." Leticia imdiately retorted to Bai Ling. "You just heard Evangelyne's plan, right? She wants to return to the elven race, so let send soone to take her back."
Bai Ling frowned slightly. She instinctively wanted to object, but compared to herself, Evangelyne seed to trust Leticia more.
When Leticia had just spoken, Evangelyne kept nodding, looking like a little fan seeing her idol.
"Then this matter is settled. Tomorrow I'll send soone to take you back." Leticia made the final decision. "So, what do you plan to do about your relationship with Xi ngyao?"
From the expressions they saw when they first entered, it could be determined that currently Evangelyne had so feelings for Xi ngyao.
And Xi ngyao needn't be ntioned—Evangelyne was her savior. It was perfectly normal for a girl to develop feelings for her savior.
This basically fell into the category of mutual affection. If there were no other interfering factors, these two would probably complete all the things they should do within a week.
Unfortunately, there were quite a few interfering factors at present.
Evangelyne absolutely couldn't bring Xi ngyao back to the elven race. She wasn't planning to return alive this ti—after all, she was going to cause trouble, and causing trouble would get her in trouble with those elders.
If ordinary thods didn't work, those shaless old bastards would stop at nothing. Even for her own sake, Evangelyne couldn't bring her weakness back to the elven race.
"She and I are fated but not destined." Evangelyne sighed lightly. "Perhaps forgetting would be the best choice for her."
Her thoughts were the sa as Leticia's—both planned to have Xi ngyao forget what had happened these past few days.
"She's human, a girl with unlimited potential. She's a rising star, while I'm just a useless Half-Elf." Evangelyne said in a low voice. "I can't delay her because of ."
"So, let her forget ."
Bai Ling opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing, but her words stuck in her throat and wouldn't co out.
This was Evangelyne's choice, and for Xi ngyao, it was also the best choice.
But Xi ngyao was unwilling to forget.
"I don't agree!"
