Chapter 224: Mother and Daughter! The Night Elf Queen!

"Princess, we're home!"

Qingluan looked at the underground city ahead.

This was the underground city belonging to the Night Elves.

This underground city was very large, with over fifty thousand Night Elves living inside.

The Elves had never been a populous race to begin with.

After the Night Elves moved underground, their population simply stopped growing altogether.

Elves required a Tree of Life to bear children.

Where in an underground city would one find a Tree of Life?

The underground was far more dangerous than the surface.

What's more, certain underground creatures, bewitched by the Dark God, would frequently come attack the Night Elves.

Fortunately, the Night Elves were a powerful race, and after all these years, they had firmly established themselves here.

"Mm, we're home!"

Seeing this underground city, a smile appeared on Princess Chenxi's face.

This was the first time she had returned to the underground city with such a relaxed state of mind.

For many years past, she had been searching everywhere for a way to lift the curse.

She had even gone to the Full of Dangers abyss.

Princess Chenxi was actually quite strong-willed!

Now, she had finally found one!

"Let's go find the Queen first!"

Princess Chenxi said to Qingluan.

Qingluan gave an "Mm."

Princess Chenxi and Qingluan walked along the passage toward the underground city.

The passages around the underground city were all guarded by Night Elves around the clock, to prevent attacks from enemies.

"Princess, you're back!"

Some Night Elf guards, upon seeing Princess Chenxi, all took the initiative to greet her.

It could be seen that Princess Chenxi held very high prestige among these Night Elves.

Princess Chenxi nodded and responded to them in a friendly manner.

Not many people knew that she and Qingluan had gone to the abyss this time.

The two women pressed forward and soon entered the underground city.

Seeing Princess Chenxi, passing Night Elves would all take the initiative to greet her.

These Night Elves were all fair-skinned, beautiful women — the Night Elf race truly didn't have a single male elf!

Their looks, placed among humans, would all be great beauties scoring above nine out of ten.

This was also the reason why many human kingdoms liked to plot against the Elves.

Princess Chenxi made her way all the way to the depths of the underground city.

There stood a palace, built of stone, yet crafted with exquisite refinement.

Elves were creatures that pursued perfection, and the Night Elves were no exception.

Even though they had been cursed by the Dark God and lost the Moon Goddess's blessing, forced to come underground, they still maintained a refined life.

One could see that even in the lightless depths underground, their clothes never picked up so much as a speck of dust!

Their faces were also always clean, without the slightest trace of grime!

Before the palace, two Night Elves stood guard. When Princess Chenxi arrived, she asked:

"Is the Queen still inside?"

Those two Night Elves said: "Yes, the Queen has been inside all along."

Princess Chenxi let out a sigh.

She turned around and said to Qingluan: "Qingluan, wait for me here."

Qingluan nodded.

Princess Chenxi came before the palace, pushed open the door and walked in, then turned and closed the door behind her.

The inside of the palace was not dark.

Above the palace hung a great chandelier, and upon this chandelier burned magical flames.

Such a chandelier would be an extraordinary luxury in a human kingdom, commanding a price that could be called astronomical.

This chandelier required expensive magic stones as its energy source — a single magic stone could keep the dozens of small flames on this chandelier burning for an entire year!

Princess Chenxi walked along the exquisite red carpet toward the depths of the palace.

At the end of the red carpet was A Step, and upon A Step sat Wang Zuo.

Princess Chenxi's "mother," the Queen of the Night Elves, was sitting upon it!

She had been sitting there for a very long time, motionless, like a statue.

For over a dozen years, she had remained within this palace.

This was a form of self-imposed exile.

The Night Elves' calamity had been brought about by her!

Although her starting point was for the sake of the Night Elves, for the sake of allowing the entire Night Elf race to enter the Loki Forest to dwell, she had adopted a method most unforgivable in the eyes of the gods.

That was to seek help from the Abyss Demon God, the evil Dark God.

The Abyss Demon Gods all shared a common trait.

As long as you give them something of equal value, they will grant you the corresponding power.

But sometimes, forcing growth is not the best approach.

The abyssal Moshenbu Society will not consider whether these powers will bring you side effects, will not consider whether you can digest them, will not consider whether your body can bear it after a sudden surge of power.

But the Jieshenming Society will.

In the situation at the time, even if the Night Elf chieftain sought help from the Moon God, the Moon God would not have bestowed too much power, because the Moon God certainly would not be willing to force growth.

Of course, the reason among them may also be related to the Moon God being stingy with his own divine power.

But undoubtedly, the actions of the Night Elf Queen dragged the entire Night Elf clan into the abyss!

After being abandoned by the Moon God, cursed by the God of Darkness, and rejected by the nearby elves, the Night Elf clan had no choice but to move underground.

The Night Elf Queen then began her self-exile.

Exile day after day for over a dozen years!

Over a dozen years passed, and among the Night Elves, there were actually not many who still blamed Princess Chenxi's mother.

Because although Princess Chenxi's mother's methods were a bit extreme, her starting point was for the entire Night Elf clan, and coupled with the fact that she had already self-exiled for so long, quite a few Night Elves had in fact already forgiven her.

Princess Chenxi walked down to the bottom of the steps, her mother still not moving at all, as if she had not noticed her arrival.
