Chapter 181

The banquet's atmosphere grew ever hotter under the catalysis of alcohol and dance.

Night Elves, Li Qingxuan, Human Race, and a male (not a named entity).

Xila, Ailina, and Li Qingxuan.

Li Qingxuan.

He (Li Qingxuan) and a generic Night Elf.

He (Li Qingxuan), Moon Shadow, Star Radiance, and Elder.

Therefore we need to output "Star Radiance Elder". We also need to add it to the glossary; the glossary should list every named entity or coined term appearing in these lines. Since Star Radiance Elder appears, we should add an entry: {"raw_term":"Star Radiance Elder","original_term":"Star Radiance Elder"}.

Similarly, Moonshadow Elder appears; we have a glossary entry for Moonshadow Elder (provided). We must reuse the exact English from the glossary: Moonshadow Elder.

Enchanting Shadow Elder appears; the glossary entry is Enchanting Shadow Elder.

When the wine was half-drunk, a Night Elf with an especially tall and voluptuous figure and a more mature, alluring demeanor walked over holding a wine cup.

She wore a deep purple gauze dress, with key parts faintly visible, her visage absolutely beautiful, exuding the poise and allure of one long accustomed to high station.

As soon as she appeared, the surrounding elves instinctively restrained themselves a little, their eyes filled with awe.

Lord Li Qingxuan, the Enchanting Shadow Elder, and the Shadow Moon Tribe appear; diplomacy and entertainment are not named entities.

She especially emphasized the two characters "entertainment", her jade-green eyes like a deep pool, as if they could suck in a person's soul. "Lord, you truly have remarkable composure; facing the enthusiasm of my clan's sisters, you can actually remain so unmoved."

Lord Li Qingxuan and the Enchanting Shadow Elder.

"Oh?" the Enchanting Shadow Elder stepped closer, exuding a strange, faint fragrance that could easily pluck at the heartstrings, "I wonder what weighs on your mind, Lord? Perhaps… my Shadow Moon Tribe could share your burdens?" Her finger, intentionally or not, traced across the back of Li Qingxuan's hand.

At that moment, an aura far vaster and deeper than that of the three elders descended like moonlight, silently enveloping the entire banquet grounds.

All clamor fell silent instantly; the dancing elves halted their movements and, one after another, respectfully lowered their heads.

Li Qingxuan.

From the most splendid treehouse atop the Giant Tree, a slender figure descended slowly, stepping through the air.

She wore a long dress woven of silver threads, its hem flowing like moonlight; her features were flawless, not of this world; her silver-white hair fell like a waterfall to her waist, and upon her head she wore a crown woven of Moonlight Vine and Star Gem.

Her eyes were pure silver, deep as if containing an entire starry sky; wherever her gaze fell, it seemed she could see through a person's heart.

The Shadow Moon Tribe's queen is the Moon Priestess, Aister.

Queen Aister's gaze fell directly upon Li Qingxuan, carrying scrutiny, curiosity, and a hint of… indescribable appreciation and interest.

The Human Race's strongest (not named), Li Qingxuan, and Queen Aister.

The three elders are Moon Shadow, Star Radiance, and Charming Shadow.

They knew Li Qingxuan was strong, but they never expected the Queen to give such a high evaluation, outright stating that his power far surpassed theirs!

The surrounding elves let out a low gasp, their gazes toward Li Qingxuan growing even hotter, even tinged with adoration.

In the Night Elves' value system, strength is the greatest source of charm.

Li Qingxuan and Her Majesty the Queen (not a named entity; we refer to her as Queen).

Queen Aister.

She waved her hand; the other elves understood, quietly withdrawing to the periphery, leaving the central area for the Queen, a few elders, and Li Qingxuan.

Queen Aister, Li Qingxuan, Friendly Liaison, and Intelligence Trade.

Faced with the Queen's question that cut straight to the Core, Li Qingxuan knew that further prevarication was pointless.

He set down his wine cup, his gaze meeting Aister's silver eyes, which seemed able to perceive everything, with frank openness.

Apocalypse Arrival, All Races Struggle, Guangtan Fortress, and Chaos.

Transaction and Cooperation, Alliance Covenant, future, food, and Shelter.

Such words could be called extremely bold, almost tantamount to a direct solicitation.

Moonshadow Elder, Star Radiance Elder, and Enchanting Shadow Elder.

Queen Aister's face showed no joy or anger; only the light in her silver eyes flickered slightly. "Join your retinue? Lord Li Qingxuan, your ambition is not small. But do you know that my Shadow Moon Tribe has a long heritage—how could we easily submit to others? Even if you are strong."

"Not submission, but alliance and following." Li Qingxuan corrected, gently releasing a trace of his own aura.

Not a full-force eruption, but like a gentle ripple in the deep sea, a pure, mighty spiritual power tinged with a hint of majesty spread out; though only a trace, it instantly turned the faces of the three elders present pale, making them feel an oppression emanating from the soul.

Queen Aister.

She clearly felt that the essence of this power was immensely strong!

Li Qingxuan timely retracted his aura and calmly said, "I have confidence that I can lead my followers toward a broader future. My strength is the guarantee of that confidence. Your Majesty, please consider it; there's no need to rush a reply."

He was not overbearing, but instead gave them space.

Displaying strength was to increase leverage, not to coerce.

Queen Aister fell silent for a moment, and finally her exquisite face bore a faint, meaningful smile: "What an interesting proposal, Lord Li Qingxuan. Your strength is indeed…… impressive. This concerns the tribe's future; I need to consult with the elders. During this period, you shall be an honored guest of my Shadow Moon Tribe, free to enjoy our hospitality."

Her words left ample room.

No.

The banquet continued, but the atmosphere had already changed.

Li Qingxuan and a Night Elf.

Originally stemming merely from attraction to strength and appearance, now there was added a measure of awe and yearning for power.

Queen Aister personally kept him company, engaging Li Qingxuan in conversation, asking about the outside world and about himself, her interest growing ever stronger.

Li Qingxuan and a Night Elf tribe (not a named entity).

Seed.

Whether this powerful Dark Night Elf Tribe could be brought under one's control still required some time and opportunity.

But at least, he had successfully drawn the high regard of their supreme ruler, taking a crucial first step.

Night Elf Queen Aister.
