Chapter 541: The Unluckiest Contestant? Confronting the Holy Son of Eternal Night!

"Slap!"

A crisp slap rang out.

With tremendous force.

Julius struck himself so hard he drew blood from the corner of his mouth.

His face twisted with unwillingness as he stared fiercely at Su Yu.

Yet, with Ai Ai Liya standing nearby,

he said nothing and stepped back.

This actually made Su Yu look at him with new respect.

This elf offered no excuses, no rebuttals,

but cleanly slapped himself.

Nor did he change his attitude toward him.

The elf race's straightforward nature suited Su Yu's taste.

No hidden daggers behind smiles, no need for hollow diplomacy.

If they dislike you, they dislike you.

If they like you, they like you.

"Su Yu."

The Elf Empress, Miliyagis, approached gracefully,

her eyes filled with a smile.

A gentle breeze lifted her hair, revealing boundless charm.

The Ten Thousand Races Ranking Battle,

was the first step Su Yu had taken,

and also the first step the Elf Race had taken.

The first step toward ascending to the heavens.

She lifted the long skirt behind her and sat down beside Su Yu.

Seeing this,

the other big shots of the Elf Race erupted in uproar.

Although rumors had circulated within the clan long ago

that Su Yu and Your Majesty the Elf Empress had a private friendship,

no one expected it had reached this level.

And those few contestants participating in the Ten Thousand Races Ranking Battle

were even more stunned.

Among the Elf Race, besides Ai Ai Liya,

only seven people participated in the Ten Thousand Races Ranking Battle.

Unlike the struggles between various factions of the Human Race,

Ai Ai Liya and the Seven Sons of the Elves all represented Your Majesty the Elf Empress's faction,

and also represented the entire Elf Race.

Therefore, the support they received from the clan

was greater than what the thirty-two stars of the Human Race could possess.

Julius stared blankly at the Elf Empress chatting and laughing with Su Yu.

He had originally thought

that Su Yu had bewitched Her Highness the Princess,

relying on his pretty-boy looks

to win Her Highness the Princess's affection and also gain the Elf Empress's favor.

To be honest,

for an elf race whose members are all good-looking—a race that other races consider pretty-boys—

to call a human male a pretty-boy...

would leave any race speechless if they knew.

It must be said that regarding Su Yu's appearance,

Julius felt a trace of jealousy.

However,

now seeing the Elf Empress's attitude,

he realized he was completely wrong!

This damn thing had absolutely nothing to do with Her Highness the Princess's affection.

Your Majesty the Empress was close to Su Yu for other reasons.

This,

simply,

simply looked as if Your Majesty the Empress had been bewitched by Su Yu!

How did this guy do it?

This... was the Elf Empress.

Facing the Elf Empress,

Julius could only lower his head from a distance, daring not to look up even once.

Naturally, no jealousy arose in his heart.

"Su Yu..."

Julius murmured softly and shook his head.

No man had ever caught the eye of Your Majesty the Empress.

This fellow could not possibly, merely due to his appearance,

have elicited such an attitude from Your Majesty the Empress.

"Could it be that Your Majesty the Empress has entered into some cooperation with the Human Race?"

Julius thought,

completely unable to imagine how a newly appointed Human Race lord

could have earned the favor of the Elf Empress on what grounds.

Therefore, he could only think on a grander scale.

The more he thought, the more reasonable it seemed.
