Chapter 293: Chapter 267: Enthusiastic! Elf

"Hey! Boss? Why have you come back?"

"Old Pi, I suddenly remembered, didn’t you tell me that you wanted the wood from the Tree of Life to make yourself a new body?"

Pinocchio was about to nod when a chill crept up his spine, giving him a bad premonition.

"Boss, actually, I’m not in that much of a hurry."

"Less talk, follow me!"

Lette grabbed Pinocchio without saying another word and quickly walked in a direction.

Guided by the Divine Power Seed gifted by the Life Goddess, they quickly arrived at a location within the Fairy Tale Subspace.

The Divine Power Seed emitted a dazzling light, clearly indicating this was the closest point to the Jade Dream.

Lette tossed the seed out, and it took root upon landing, quickly growing into a long vine that formed a not too big nor too small archway.

Lette carried the Liar Demon and stepped inside.

Upon entering the dreamlike realm, the Liar Demon finally responded.

"Huh! Isn’t this the Jade Dream?"

"You know it too?"

"Of course I know, this is the secret realm of the Elf Clan. Boss, you underestimate me; the War of the Gods was at least something I instigated.

How could I not know the backgrounds of each race?

Oh! I get it!

You entered the sea from Bay City, then from the sea into the Fairy Tale Subspace, then into the Jade Dream, and finally arriving at the Elf Imperial City.

This is a shortcut!

A journey of several days has been shortened to a few minutes by you!

Boss, you truly are a genius!"

"Flattery well done, but unfortunately, this plan wasn’t my idea."

"But you are the implementer! Coming up with the idea is important, but having the courage to execute it makes the idea meaningful!

The person who first thought of eating crabs is not great, but the person who actually first dared to try them is!

Boss, you really are..."

Lette threw the Liar Demon aside: "When did you learn so much about flattering?

Did you secretly go to the Holy City and meet with a trade association president named Grandet?"

"Boss, I praise you!"

The Liar Demon had a gloating smile all over his face: "Just now, when you said you would use the wood from the Ancient Tree of Life to make me a body, I thought you were trying to trick me into doing free work for you again.

I didn’t expect that you really meant it and are taking me to the Elf Kingdom!

Where in the world could I find a boss like you who cares so much for your subordinates?

What luck I have to work under you!

Ah! Boss! You..."

"Shut up!"

Lette glared at him: "Your flattery is quite utilitarian! Do you think that by flattering me this time, you’ll make me feel embarrassed when I need you to work for free?

Listen, Old Pi.

You’ve overestimated your little schemes and underestimated the cold-bloodedness of a boss.

Simply put, keep it simple when you talk.

Okay?"

The Liar Demon’s little schemes were seen through, and he immediately slumped.

He followed behind Lette, his spirits not very high.

"Boss, if that’s the case, why not chat with me about how you plan to exploit my remaining labor this time?

So I can be mentally prepared? So I won’t break down crying in front of everyone."

Lette glanced at him and briefly explained the situation.

Upon hearing about the Array from the Tower of Truth found on the Ancient Tree of Life, the Liar Demon fell silent too.

"Boss, the casting time and effectiveness of this Array is crucial."

"You’re thinking the same as me."

The Liar Demon clapped his hands: "I get it, you want me to use the Power of Lies to first transfer the Array away.

So that the Life Goddess’s succession ritual can continue, while we have the time and energy to analyze this Array.

Once the Life Goddess completes her succession and regains all authority,

they can use the memories of the Tree of Life to find out who, and when, set this Array?

Boss, you’re wise! Boss, you’ve thought it all through!"

Lette glared at him with brows furrowed: "Are you the Demon of Lies or the Demon of Flattery? I think I should change you so that if you keep flattering, you’ll turn into a donkey!"

The Liar Demon was immediately more behaved with such a scare from Lette.

Turning into a puppet can still let you deceive yourself that it’s a style. Turning into a donkey, there’s no turning back from that.

They hadn’t walked far before they saw the exit of the Jade Dream.

Without much thought, Lette led the Liar Demon outside.

When they passed through the Dream Gate back into the present world, they unexpectedly found, outside the Jade Dream, a gathering of kneeling female elves.

They were devoutly praying, not knowing what for.

"Boss, did they know we were coming?"

"I... don’t know, maybe Nora’s two sisters informed them?"

Upon hearing voices, the kneeling elves all raised their heads.

When they saw Lette, they were first surprised, then ecstatic, and finally greedy.

"A man! It’s a man! The Life Goddess has truly returned! Our prayers have really been answered!"

"So handsome! So dashing! Physically fit! In the prime of youth!

Oh my, I can hardly imagine how fragrant he must be!"

"This man, why does he feel like a human male?"

"Who cares! He’s a man anyway!"

Watching as one elf after another slowly rose, Lette suddenly felt a chill over his whole body.

"Hey, hey, hey, something feels off here!"

"Boss! I feel like you might be in some danger. Something’s not right here!"

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, a figure suddenly stepped out, standing in front of Lette.

"Stop! Everyone calm down! He is not the man gifted to us by Lady Goddess!

This individual is one of the Apprentice Saints of the Holy Light Church, the renowned Holy Sin!

The great Saint Wright!"

Upon hearing this name, the restless female elves instantly calmed down.

Lette! Lette! Lette!

This name, in the Elf Empire, is known to all.

After all, the Elf Free Development Zone has completed its inspections, and the economic and political status of the Elf Clan has improved due to continental trade.

Saint Wright is highly esteemed among the elves.

But Lette was puzzled about how this elf recognized him.

"Miss Elf, do we know each other?"

The elf maiden turned around, looking at him with an odd expression: "Great Lord, don’t you recognize me?

I am your most devout follower!"

Lette looked utterly confused: "I don’t recall having any followers from the Elf Clan! Wait, I don’t have any followers, just about half an employee.

Hey, this elf girl looks a bit familiar!

Aren’t you the elf princess Rosadina, who got scared and cried in the Holy City three years ago?"
