*Drap... Drap...*
A woman of medium build and slimness walks into a room filled with various flower plants; her face looks cute but childish, her wide eyes sparkle with gray pupils, and her grayish pink hair dances behind her. Her figure is quite attractive in a white sleeveless dress, allowing people to see the smoothness of her skin and her big breasts.
"Why are you in such a hurry, Nu Shen?" A woman with long, wavy white hair standing in the corner of the room asked her. The woman figure is quite tall and slender, with breasts that are not big but not small either, and her light blue dress fits perfectly on her body, showing off her perfect curves. Her face looks calm and mature, and her blue eyes are filled with tenderness. Her nose is a bit sharp, and her pink lips are beautifully curved.
Nu Shen answered her directly. "Mother, I just got news from our people guarding the main portal that there is a big movement from the spirit realm, and the little emperor ordered his guardians to capture Luxuria and a human male."
"Hmm?" The white-haired woman was none other than the Elf Queen, Nu Wang. Hearing that, she turned to her daughter, but her expression did not seem surprised at the news. "That little guy has finally made his move, huh?"
"Eh?" Nu Shen was surprised by her reaction. "Did you already know about this matter?"
"En." Nu Wang nodded to her before explaining. "I've been expecting this to happen for months, especially after Lyra came back and told me about them."
"Lyra? Since when did she come back, Mother? And what happened? Why did that little king order his guardians to hunt them down?" Nu Shen asked with a confused look, as Zhu Ling's movements were really unusual.
"Lyra came back several months ago, but you were still busy in the secret chamber." Nu Wang then sighed heavily before telling her. "Anyway, Luxuria sacrificed one of her kin for that human male in order to turn him into an immortal like her."
"What?" Nu Shen exclaimed in shock. "Is that true? Why would Luxuria do such a thing for the sake of a human male? And who was the spirit she sacrificed?"
"That's true." Nu Wang then called Lyra to meet them. "Luxuria is one of the oldest spirits, but she is the spirit of lust, and her attachment to humans is too strong. Apparently, she loves that man so much, so she dared to commit a reckless act by sacrificing Invidia's soul in order to be with him forever."
"What a fool!" Nu Shen cursed after hearing that. "Even though she is the spirit of lust, she shouldn't do such things, let alone sacrifice her own kin; that is truly a heinous act and betrayal for the spirit race."
Nu Wang looked at her daughter with a smile. "You've never fallen in love before, so you won't be able to understand Luxuria's feelings, but I can understand her feelings. Even so, I agree with you that her actions were too heinous, and they would face serious problems if Zhu Ling stepped in to hunt them down, especially since his cultivation had already been broken through to the High Supreme God Realm."
"Then-"
"Why do you call me, Queen?" Lyra asked as she approached them, and she then greeted Nu Shen. "Long time no see, Princess."
"Haha." Nu Shen laughed and hugged Lyra. "I'm glad you're finally back! I thought you were dead after you disappeared for so long."
"If it wasn't for Luxuria and Ling Yun, I would probably be dead by now." Nu Shen was surprised by Lyra's answer. "Back then, I got lost and was stranded in the lower realms because of those space storms, and I fell under the control of a woman. However, they saved me from her, and I came back here after I recovered."
"I see." Nu Shen nodded in understanding. "Is it true that Luxuria sacrificed Invidia's soul for Ling Yun?"
"That's right, princess." Lyra answered with a nod. "However, Ling Yun is not an ordinary human, and he has a dragon bloodline in his body."
"Huh?" Nu Shen looked at her with blinking eyes. "Do you know anything about his dragon bloodline?"
"No." Lyra shook her head at her. "However, Luxuria told me that she was the one who gave the dragon bloodline to Ling Yun, and I know that it came from a powerful dragon."
"Hmm?" Nu Shen frowned after hearing that.
Nu Wang then asked Lyra. "Did you really detect immortal qi from Ling Yun's body?"
"Yes, my queen. I can sense it, even though it's still miniscule, and it should have become stronger by now, but they probably still haven't noticed it."
Nu Wang nodded in understanding. "In that case, Luxuria's efforts were not in vain, and Ling Yun will become immortal in the future, but he is still too weak for now. Moreover, Zhu Ling has already made his move, so they have to be prepared to face him and his guardians."
"Yes, I have heard about it." Lyra replied with a regretful sigh, as she was sure that Ling Yun and Ling Xi couldn't possibly face them. "Do you think I should warn them, Queen?"
"Huh? Do you know where they are now?" Nu Shen asked her.
"No, I don't know about their whereabouts." Lyra shook her head at her. "However, I gave my green feather to Ling Yun, so I can find his location easily, but they might have gone to higher realms."
Nu Shen frowned and asked angrily. "Why did you give it to Ling Yun? Are you also attracted to him?"
"It's not like that, Princess." Lyra replied with a bitter smile. "Honestly, Ling Yun is not a bad man, and Luxuria did that out of her own selfishness. Moreover, he saved my life, or else I'd be dead by now, so I gave it to him."
"She's right, Shen'er. I'm sure that Ling Yun didn't know the risks when Luxuria did that, but everything has happened, and the spirit race is already hunting them now." Nu Wang then turned to Lyra. "I want you to go look for him, but you don't need to do anything because I don't want to cause trouble with Zhu Ling, and you just need to warn him about them."
"Why did you do that, Mother?" Nu Shen asked with an annoyed look. "I know that you are quite close to Luxuria, but you don't know anything about Ling Yun."
However, Nu Wang just smiled mysteriously at his daughter and said it to Lyra again. "You can go now."
"Yes." Lyra immediately turned to leave.
"Tch!" Nu Shen gritted her teeth because of her mother's attitude, and she chased after Lyra. "Mother! I'll go with her! I wonder what's so special about that man that you want to do that!"
Nu Wang just shook her head at that, and she then muttered to herself. "You are truly crazy, Luxuria. I want to help you, but I can't do it, or it would cause chaos in our realm if I had to face Zhu Ling."

Meanwhile, a man with a small body and a crown on his head looked seriously at the man kneeling in front of him, and his expression became shocked after listening to everything. "We have lived peacefully for so long, but I didn't expect that one day I would hear that someone from the nature race killed her own kin, and Luxuria was too reckless to sacrifice Invidia for the sake of a human male."
"What do you think will happen next, Lord?"
The man with the crown is none other than Xian Di, the leader of the dwarves. "Sooner or later, Zhu Ling and his guardians will definitely discover their location, and they will probably kill them outright."
"Should we do something to help the spirits, Lord?"
"No need." Xian Di refused by shaking his head. "We dwarves and spirits are both nature races, but that is their own business, so we don't need to interfere in their problems. However, Luxuria is quite cunning and calculating, so she must have thought of something to avoid being hunted by them. Besides, many spirits were very close to her, and one of them was Zhou Yu, the spirit of void. She won't stand idly by as they pursue her sister, and I have no doubt that she will do whatever it takes to save her.
"Doesn't that mean she will disobey Zhu Ling's orders? If that happens, he will definitely capture her too."
"That's true." Xian Di nodded in agreement with that. "However, Zhou Yu is different, and there is only one spirit of void in this universe. Even though Zhu Ling has broken through to the final stage, he won't be able to do anything to them if she is protecting Luxuria and them."
"Is Zhou Yu stronger than Zhu Ling?"
"Zhou Yu's cultivation should still be at the Saint God Realm now, but she has absolute control over the void, and Zhu Ling will not be able to do anything to her." Xian Di then stood up from his seat. "You don't need to think about their problems, and we will go to see my disciple now, Shou Zhe."
"Eh?" Shou Zhe was surprised to hear that, but he immediately followed Xian Di to leave the room. "It's been a long time since I saw him; I hope his blacksmithing is better now."
