Chapter 722: Exciting Event?
Chapter 722: Exciting Event?
Luna and Lynn were in the living room, enjoying a glass of green tea in the comfort of the wooden table covered by a futon. It was as if they had anticipated the arrival of Elysia and the others. Extra tea sets were provided on the table.
"Hmm?" Lynn's fox ears twitched slightly when she heard the footsteps of several people approaching.
"They've come." Luna put her glass on the table and closed her eyes.
*Clack*
The door opened, and a handsome knight-style man entered as if it was his own room. A group of gorgeous girls and heavenly beauties followed a few meters behind the man.
"Welcome back to Evroria Palace. It's a fancy day that's a bit chilly. Would you mind accompanying us with a glass of warm green tea?" Luna greeted with a hospitable attitude.
"With pleasure, my lady." Oceanid behaved with manners and sat across from the Fox Empress.
"Please have a seat, everyone. Allow me to brew you some tea." Luna pointed her hand at the cushion seats around the table.
"Lynn, how have you been lately? Uhm, do you know where my Space Bag is? I accidentally left it when my master took me away." Yuuki immediately went to Lynn's side to ask for something.
"Hm, after you left, nothing significant happened. Uhh, your hands are cold. We had a peaceful time, without a single sealed area collapsing. We are ready to deal with everything quickly and swiftly if anything happens. Perhaps, thanks to my divine battlesuit, I managed to save a lot of things with my full capability." Lynn held Yuuki's cold hand to provide some warmth.
"I'm relieved to hear that. Then, how about my Space Bag?" Yuuki raised the previous topic. That Space Bag was so important to her.
"Ah, I strayed from your question. Yup, I kept it for you in a safe place. It's in my room now. Do you want me to get it here now?" Lynn covered her mouth for a moment and nodded slightly.
"I'm grateful. Thank you for keeping my Space Bag for me. It and everything in it means a lot to me." Yuuki heaved a sigh of relief.
"You're welcome. I'll take it over here now if you want." Lynn replied with a warm smile. She was glad that Yuuki now no longer looked a bit lifeless like a few days ago when Elysia disappeared somewhere without any news.
"No, there's no need. We'll be there for that later. Well then, I shall return to my master's side. She may need me." Yuuki excused herself and went near Elysia.
"Master?" Lynn tilted her head slightly, and a realization suddenly came to her mind.
"Yuuki went that far for Elysia and her kindness, huh... How about me then?" Lynn spoke in a mosquito-like voice while glancing at Elysia.
"I hope things go under control and no tragedy occurs. However, grief is unavoidable because this is a defensive battle, a war of self-defense to protect the world. May I know a little of your story and your next plans? And, who is this new lovely girl?" Luna offered everyone a glass of tea elegantly.
She glanced at the two white-haired lovely beastkins around Elysia. One of them was Yuuki, but who was the other one? Elysia got one more beastkin companion?
"Greetings, I am Vanessa. Master Elysia's contracted beast." Vanessa put her hand to her upper chest and introduced herself gracefully.
"Van-nessa? You're Vanessa, Ely's contracted beast? Aren't you a winged tiger from the Beast Race? How did you come to have the form of a beastkin? Even though the winged tiger has impressive transformation abilities, it just-" Lynn widened her eyes in surprise. Still, she immediately ended her words when she received a gaze from her mother. "Ahem, sorry to say too much. I was just surprised. I didn't mean to offend anyone or be racist."
"It's okay, Lynn. My current human transformation was an unexpected event during my ascension to Saint-level. However, my master loves me more like this. I received a lot of head pats, hehe..." Vanessa smiled innocently. She moved her fluffy tail to the right and left cheerfully. Though, she put her fluffy tail onto her master's lap to provide some warmth in the end.
"..." Elysia only replied with a warm smile and stroked Vanessa's tail.
"Fufu, your group consists of many different races, but no discords as if dispute never happened. Everyone is getting along well." Luna covered her mouth with her folding fan.
"Racial strife is quite ridiculous, I must say. They only hate each other just because their ancestors said so. Blood hatred keeps on passing from generation to generation without knowing who is the real mastermind behind the scenes." Oceanid shook his head with a sigh.
"Fufu, I don't really care about that troublesome dispute as long as it doesn't involve my people. However, it will end in a huge turn of divine demands. The mortals will have no choice but to obey." Luna closed her eyes with a mysterious smile on her face.
"Hmm, let's see what happens next week at the grand meeting." Oceanid grinned and took a sip of his tea.
After that, Luna made a little approach to Elysia by talking warmly about some of the recently happened. She acted like a caring elder, from severe matters to trivial matters.
"I see, so you're going straight to the Beast Continent?" Luna folded her hands on the table and stared at each individual in front of her.
"Hm, yes. Is there something you want to say?" Rhea confirmed with a neutral tone.
"There's not much I need to say. However, I ask you to take my daughter with you. There will be an exciting event on the Beast Continent, and I would like a representative from me to be there to witness." Luna shook her head. She smiled faintly, opened her palm, and pointed it at her daughter.
"Mother? You're not planning on doing something reckless by telling me to leave, right? But, what kind of exciting event?" Lynn felt a bit worried and reluctant to carry out the task in today's chaotic world. She was concerned about her mother.
"What are you saying, my silly child? Do you doubt my abilities, hmm? Well then, do you still carry our fox talisman with you?" Luna flicked Lynn's forehead. She had previously told her daughter some hints regarding her little plans, but her daughter was a bit silly at times.
"Ouch, why? Mm, I still have that." Lynn held her forehead and pulled out a bluish-white talisman from her cleavage.
"Good. Take it with you. Here, I have prepared your things and everything you might need in this Space Bag. Meanwhile, Yuuki's Space Bag will be brought here soon. This might be inaccurate, but a sealed area on the Beast Continent will soon collapse in about an hour." Luna took out a purple Space Bag from under the table and placed it on her daughter's lap.
"You've prepared this too, mother? You've planned this from the beginning?" Lynn widened her eyes in surprise.
"Fufu..." Luna just covered her mouth.
*Knock* *Knock*
The door was knocked from the other side. Luna just waved her hand to open the door.
A bunny girl came into the room respectfully. She knelt behind Luna and handed over a white Space Bag. "This is what you asked to be brought here, Her Majesty."
"All right, you carried out your duty faster than expected. Now please return to your duty." Luna accepted it graciously.
"Then I shall excuse myself." The bunny girl stood up and immediately left the room. She glanced at the distinguished guests, then closed the door.
"Yuuki, this is yours. We returned it to its owner. We didn't check the contents of this Space Bag at all, but please check it to be sure." Luna put Yuuki's Space Bag on the table and pushed it towards Yuuki.
"Thank you for your concern, Luna." Yuuki didn't say much and immediately checked all the contents inside her Space Bag.
"En, nothing is missing." Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everything was still intact. Her belongings were just a few, but all of them were truly valuable to her.
"I'm relieved to hear that. With that being said, I can only advise you to immediately depart for the Beast Continent. They may really need your help. The Lazy God will once again be reluctant to involve himself on the battlefield." Luna gave a respectful suggestion, but she immediately covered her mouth with her folding fan. She could see one of the possible future, which was a bit funny.
"Well, if that's what you're saying, we can't linger here. A marker on the Beast Continent has also indicated a crack. It will collapse in less than an hour." Nell checked her talisman to make sure of it.
"Okay then, Fox Empress Luna. We shall take our leave. Please let us know via Lynn if an emergency occurs. We will be coming to your aid immediately." Elysia got up from her seat.
"Fufu, you are truly a respectful and caring girl. I appreciate it very much. However, it will be a few more days before we need to go to the battlefield. This war is still an easy battle due to my ability and anti curse mechanisms." Luna ushered everyone out of the room.
"It's an ability to make other races feel envious and fearful. Your safety can be in critical condition yet safe or dangerous. Please be careful with every step you take because this is a strategy game called life." Oceanid rubbed his chin as if remembering something.
"I am fully aware. Thank you for your wise words." Luna nodded in understanding.
Elysia, Yuuki, Lynn, and the others bid farewell to Luna before they boarded the Gravy Ark and flew into the sky in invisibility.
Luna waved her hand for a while, even though Elysia's group was no longer visible. She then heaved a subtle sigh and smiled faintly.
"Time to do something about that arrogant dragonkin~ Let's see if they will behave well or not, fufu..." Luna turned around and chuckled softly.
