I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Sylph's "beauty offering" was a success, and she once again gained Li Chen's appreciation. She received significantly more cultivation guidance and resource rewards, and her position in the family became more secure.

When she occasionally encountered Seratis, although she maintained basic politeness on the surface, a hint of smugness and provocation would always slip through her amethyst eyes, as if to say: You little brat, trying to mess with me? You're still too green. I can find my mother to offer up, and I can even scheme to bring other people's beauties here. What about you?
Seratis witnessed all of this, gritting her teeth in anger, yet feeling utterly helpless.

She knew that although her mother Ferrado was also favored, she was indeed inferior to Sylph in terms of "meritorious service".

However, she was not discouraged. Her eyes lit up and she came up with a new idea: 'If Sylph can find the outside, why can't I dig into the inside?'

Chief Lor'themar, that old bastard, has secretly taken in quite a few beauties and kept them in his private residence, many of whom are exceptionally beautiful. If we could find a way to present them to Your Majesty, wouldn't that be an even greater achievement?

A more ambitious plan to present her with beauty began to take shape in her mind.

Seratis was very clever. She understood one principle: she had to make His Majesty feel comfortable and enjoy being surrounded by beautiful women, but she couldn't cause him any trouble, and she couldn't get herself into trouble.

If she were to use coercion and enticement to forcibly seize the beauty that the clan leader had been hiding, not to mention whether the clan leader, Losema, would be furious and punish her, even if she succeeded, this behavior itself might arouse Li Chen's resentment, making her appear eager for quick success and using despicable methods.

Therefore, this matter must be carefully considered and requires a perfect opportunity and reason.

She chose a roundabout strategy.

First, she needs to increase her influence and voice within the family.

Leveraging the implicit prestige she wielded as a "close attendant to His Majesty," she volunteered to Chief Lor'themar to take charge of organizing the upcoming, unprecedented joint celebration of the half-elf races.

She advised Lor'themar, "Chieftain, this celebration concerns the honor of our clan and is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities and loyalty of our Windwhisperer family to His Majesty."

"Seratis is not particularly talented, but having served Your Majesty day and night, I have some understanding of Your Majesty's preferences and aesthetic tastes. If I were to coordinate, I would surely be able to arrange things in a way that better suits Your Majesty's wishes, allowing our people to shine before the many guests and letting Your Majesty see your thoughtfulness."

Lortherma stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, finding the statement to be reasonable.

Let this girl handle it. If she does well, the clan leader will naturally get a share of the credit; if she messes it up, the responsibility can be shifted to her, saying that she is young and inexperienced.

This deal was a win-win situation no matter how you looked at it, so he generously handed over the reins of the celebration preparations to Seratis.

Once authorized, Seratis immediately displayed a competence and shrewdness beyond her years.

Using the dual identities she obtained from Li Chen and the clan leader, she began to decisively command the manpower and resources both inside and outside the clan.

Whether they were senior elders or powerful deacons, they all had to show some restraint in front of her and listen carefully to her arrangements.

Her status rose with the power she gained. In the eyes of outsiders, this half-dark elf girl was already the most powerful figure in the Windwhisperer family, second only to the patriarch and a few core elders.

What's even more remarkable is that Seratis is not just all show; her organizational and coordination skills are truly outstanding.

From venue setup and program arrangement to guest reception and security patrols, she arranged everything in an orderly manner and considered every detail.

This celebration, hosted by the Wind Whisperer family, to "welcome the awakening of His Majesty of the Elf King's bloodline," had an impact far beyond Silvershine City, causing a sensation in more than a dozen important cities in the southern part of the Eternal Day Empire!
People flocked to witness the ceremony and catch a glimpse of the "ancient great power," with the number of applications reportedly reaching a staggering hundreds of thousands!
Ultimately, after rigorous selection, only two hundred guests of the highest status, greatest strength, or most unique background were granted entry. Among these two hundred spots, in addition to the patriarchs and elders of various half-elf families, representatives of human nobility, and powerful mercenary leaders, there were also undoubtedly carefully disguised spies from the Eternal Day Church and the royal family.

Their goal was simple: to see for themselves who this suddenly appearing "Elven King bloodline" powerhouse really was, and how strong and threatening he truly was.

On the day of the celebration, Windwhisperer Castle was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, giving it a brand new look.

The vast plaza was transformed into a magnificent banquet hall, with white jade steps, brocade flooring, and exquisitely carved totem poles depicting elven epics standing all around.

The air was filled with the aroma of delicacies and fine wines, and the melodious sounds of ethereal music.

Beautiful half-elf maids flitted among the guests like butterflies, serving them delicacies.

The scene was one of revelry and extravagance.

However, beneath this bustling and noisy surface, undercurrents are surging.

Countless gazes, some open and some hidden, swept intentionally or unintentionally toward the very front of the banquet hall, onto the most magnificent and spacious main seat, which was uniquely placed on a jade platform three feet above the ground.

That was a spot reserved for "Your Majesty," and it is currently vacant.

People whispered and murmured among themselves.

"I've heard that this Your Majesty is a direct descendant of the ancient Elf King, having slumbered for eighty thousand years before awakening. I wonder what kind of appearance you possess?"

"The Wind Whisperer family has truly had incredible luck this time, to have His Majesty linger here."

"The Vatican and the royal family are here too, aren't they? Hehe, this is going to be interesting."

"Let's see if this Your Majesty is truly as powerful as the rumors suggest."

Just as the banquet atmosphere was gradually reaching its climax and everyone was eagerly anticipating the event, a soft and pure rain of seven-colored light suddenly fell from the sky above the square without warning, and all the natural elements in the air seemed to become active and joyful in an instant.

A figure shrouded in hazy fairy light and misty spiritual energy silently appeared on the high seat.

There were no spatial fluctuations, no energy oscillations; he simply sat there naturally, as if he had always been there, integrated with the entire universe.

The noisy banquet hall fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Li Chen still retained his flawless "half-elf" appearance, with cascading silver hair and mysterious pointed ears. He didn't deliberately release any pressure, but the pure elven power flowing naturally around him caused strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.

Around the jade platform beneath him, tender green vines and wondrous flowers emitting a faint glow sprouted out of thin air; light elements in the air spontaneously condensed into tiny spirits of light, dancing gracefully around him; a gentle breeze carried the fresh scent of distant mountains and forests.
He simply sat there, and it was as if he were the center of the entire natural world, with all the elements of heaven and earth showing him the utmost affinity and submission!
