You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

If it were just that Shiloh acted so rudely towards her, it would be one thing, but the fact that he dared to treat her most respected aunt like that instantly made Nora blush.

"This guy..."

Nora maintained a smile on her face, but the bulging veins on her forehead revealed the anger she was feeling inside.

Seeing Nora's unstable state, Serena frowned slightly. It was the first time she had ever seen her niece lose her composure like this because of someone.

"Nora, calm down."

Serene stroked Nora's back, gently patting her. A gentle energy, like sweet rain, seeped into her heart, calming her chaotic emotions.

Nora let out a long sigh, turned to look at Serene, and said with some self-reproach in her eyes, "Aunt, I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."

Upon hearing this, Serene shook her head and asked with some concern, "It's nothing, I don't think it's offensive at all... but, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Nora froze upon hearing this. She knew that her aunt had seen her anxiety, but she found it difficult to express her true feelings at the moment, so she simply shook her head to indicate that she was alright.

Looking at Nora, who remained silent, Serena sighed inwardly, thinking that her child had grown up and had her own thoughts, unlike before when she would tell her aunt everything on her mind.

but……

Serena recalled Shiloh's appearance in her mind, and she had a feeling that this guy seemed to know something about Nora.

Moreover, assuming this premise, what Shiloh said just now seems to have been deliberately intended to provoke Nora.

Although she found it somewhat unbelievable that Shiloh knew some of Nora's secrets, Serena, for the sake of her niece, still planned to find an opportunity to ask him what was going on.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Serene was startled, her face suddenly feeling hot.

Tsk, is this what this guy was planning...?

The farewell kiss in the border city, its passion and intensity, her body still savors it to this day... even though Serene would never admit it.

After getting off the bus, Nora and the other exchange students, led by their hosts including Shilo, headed to the dormitory area that had been used to house the elf exchange students for many years.

The dormitory area is located in a natural mountain forest with many trees and flowing water within the academy, which is very suitable for the living environment of the elves.

After settling into their dormitory, a small cabin nestled in the woods with two people per room, Shiloh suggested taking the elves out to experience local customs and culture, but Nora refused, saying that "the journey is tiring and they need to rest."

Nora instinctively felt that Shiloh wanted to harm her lovely people, and she was even prepared to be harassed by him, but she didn't expect that he would suddenly become magnanimous and directly agree to her idea.

However, this only made Nora more wary. Judging from their previous encounters, Shiloh's "retaliation" could come at any time.

After a moment's thought, a look of shock flashed in Nora's golden eyes, and she thought to herself, "Could he be—"

Nora's heart pounded with panic. Like a lamb that had suddenly lost its way while out for a walk, she desperately wanted to find her mother. So she quickly pressed her fingers to her ear and used a communication prayer.

hum-

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

The communication was quickly established, and Serene's voice entered Nora's mind through the prayer mark, which relieved her.

"Auntie, are you resting in your dormitory now?"

The high priest had a special status and lived on another mountain some distance away from them.

That place was a large estate, a residence specially provided to Serene by the Empire.

"Yeah, I just arrived. I'm currently organizing some things I left here before... um~"

The communication signal suddenly became unstable. Hearing the strange sounds coming from Serene on the other end, Nora's eyes narrowed, and she asked, "Auntie?"

"I just found something I used to really like—cough cough! It's nothing! I just saw some dirty stuff and got a fright."

Serene's voice sounded somewhat annoyed. Nora thought to herself, "Could it be that the Human Empire didn't do a good job cleaning my aunt's place? How rude of them!"

"I need to do some cleaning here. If anything happens, please let me know, okay?"

"Oh, I see—"

Before she could finish speaking, Serene hung up the call, apparently to deal with the filth.

Nora sat on the soft bed, the unique woody scent lingering around her nose. The environment here was indeed very satisfying, but for some reason, she always had a feeling of unease.

“Sillo Wells…”

Nora lay back on the bed, murmuring Shiloh's full name, and looked at the dazzling sun outside the window, biting her lip with some resentment.

Nora slowly raised her hand, reached out and "grabbed" the sun, looked at her clenched fist, and as if making a vow, slowly said, "I will absolutely... never approve of you."

"Only the elves can save the future of the elven race!"

"Hey! What nonsense are you telling me to recite?!"

Meanwhile, at Serene's manor.

In the master bedroom, Serene slapped away Shiloh's hand, which was writing words in the air in front of her eyes with magical fluorescence, and looked at him with some embarrassment and anger, scolding him.

They actually wrote something like "my darling I used to love"... Who would like that kind of dirty, grotesque, and filthy stuff?!

Serene sat upright on the edge of the bed, forcing her gaze to meet Shiloh's, using her strong willpower to prevent it from sliding down.

Even so, the scarlet head of that grotesque creature still appeared in her sight intermittently.

"So? You became like this because you embodied the divine power of three great gods?"

Looking at the young Xi Luo in front of her, his appearance gradually overlapped with a certain memory from her past, making the image of the little boy she saw when she came to the capital more than ten years ago slowly come to life.

However, the contrast between this handsome and adorable little boy and the filthy and terrifying things he possessed was so stark that Serena found it hard to accept.

"That's how it is~ But for now, we can maintain a normal state for a while. It will probably take some time before we can fully recover."

"First Release by ??0??u.com Reading Club"

Serene nodded, trying to maintain a businesslike attitude, and asked casually, "My second question is, which princess of your country did you marry? If I remember correctly, your Wells family should have a tradition of such marriages for generations, right?"

"Ha, actually I haven't made a choice yet, and I'm having a headache about it right now... Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Seeing Shiloh's amused expression, Serene's lips curled into a cold smile. She pinched his cheek, like a gentle and dignified mature female homeroom teacher who had lost her composure due to the mischievousness of her students, and said, "Those female students who were lying in ambush near my manor, their aura seems to belong to the guards of the Audrecian royal family. I think they're probably some princess who wants to take you back, right?"

Shiloh gripped Serene's wrists with both hands, his expression stiffening for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"They have no power to force me into an engagement; those people are probably just here to gather intelligence on my whereabouts."

"Oh? Okay, I'll lift the restriction right away—"

Before she could finish speaking, Serene's raised hand was pressed down by Shiloh, and the mature elf aunt's amused gaze drifted over, making Shiloh's expression even more stiff.

Tsk, that's why older women are really...

"hiss--!"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Xiluo's face was pinched hard, causing him some pain.

"You seem to be thinking about something impolite?"

Serene stared into Shiloh's dark eyes, a "kind" smile appearing in her amber gaze.

"...I urge you to plead your case (that you are innocent)."

"Humph~"

Serene let Shilo go, her smile playful: "If you want me to help you avoid being caught by them, just answer one question for me."

Chapter 211 Serene (5k)

"Oh? Go ahead."

Shiloh probably guessed what Serene was going to ask, but still pretended to be a helpless and submissive person to boost her "arrogance".

Serene didn't know if she realized that Shiloh was doing it on purpose, but she seemed to enjoy Shiloh's frustrated look.

Serene gave a smug hum, crossed her arms, and asked, "Do you know what happened to Nora?"

As expected!

A subtle smile played on Shiloh's lips, then she feigned confusion and asked, "I only truly met Nora on my first day, so why do you think I know what happened to her?"

To be honest, Serene wasn't sure at first, but seeing Shilo's feigned ignorance that made her so angry yet helpless, she instantly realized that he must know something!

"Intuition... are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'll let them in to arrest people."

Faced with Serene's threat, Shiloh put on a pitiful expression and said, "How can I explain something I don't know? Besides, can you really bear to let them kidnap your little lover like this?"

"Who, who is my little lover?!"

Serene blushed deeply at Shiloh's words and immediately got up to distance herself from him, but Shiloh, quick as a flash, grabbed her arm, and the voluptuous woman who had just left the bed sat back down with a "thump".

"You...you let me go!"

You should know that Shilo is now in a completely liberated state. While holding her arm, a weapon thicker than her wrist is constantly stabbing her waist with her movements.

The solid, fiery sensation made Serene's amber eyes watery, a warm glow gathering within them, and the switch sealed in her heart for thousands of years was gently pried open once more by Shiro...

goo~

Under Shiro's marksmanship, Serene's mind was thrown into chaos, and she was unable to think straight. So she could only blurt out, "I know, I know! I won't let them in, okay?!"

Upon hearing this, Shiloh immediately calmed down, gave Serene a sly smile, and then, without embarrassing her too much, simply lay back on the soft bed in a starfish position.

Feeling Shilo's departure beside her, Serene breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a strange emptiness in her heart. This feeling startled her, and she quickly patted her burning cheeks to banish these chaotic thoughts from her mind.

Serene sat upright on the edge of the bed, not daring to move her gaze even an inch backward, for fear that seeing that hideous creature would cause her to have some strange reaction again.

Looking at the heavy pumpkin, Serene clutched her chest, bit her lip, and her brows furrowed with embarrassment and annoyance. She said, "Answer seriously, you really don't know?"

"Hmm...do I know or not..."

Shiloh deliberately drew out his words, and his mocking tone made Serena inwardly scoff.

Stubborn.

Serene's tightly clenched hands crumpled the fabric of her dress on her thighs. She knew that Shiloh understood how important Nora was to him, which was why he was so fearless.

Serene could roughly guess why Shilo didn't want to be "captured" by the princess's subordinates.

Isn't it just that this brat who always wants to be in a superior position doesn't want to show his childish, intimidating side in front of those two marriage partners?

While this matter could threaten Shiloh to some extent, it was clearly not as significant as the bargaining chips the other party held.

As long as Shiloh doesn't get the benefits he wants, she really won't get Nora's thing. Serene has a very deep understanding of this brat's wicked nature.

Damn it! How could I, the most talented High Priest in the history of the Elven race, be suppressed to this extent by a mere human brat?!

Serene grew increasingly resentful, her jade-like hands gripping and kneading the fabric repeatedly before, as if she had made up her mind, a resolute glint flashing in her amber eyes.

Swah——

The sound of clothes rustling rang out, and without turning her head, Serene lifted her hand from her thigh and reached behind her.

"Hmm? Whoa~"

"With delicate hands, she binds the evil dragon," the scene before her prompted Shiloh to utter a meaningful sound.

Her hands, as pure and beautiful as a goddess's, tightly bound the ferocious and unyielding dragon. The contrast between the two contrasting scenes filled Shiloh with a deep sense of satisfaction.

"So? Is that all?"

A mocking voice came from behind her. Serene bit her lip slightly, gave a cold, frosty snort, and said in a deep voice, "I don't need you to tell me."

After saying that, the goddess began to rub with her fair hands, gradually making a sticky, squelching sound.

Feeling Serene's movements go from awkward to skillful, Shiloh leaned back against a cushion, sighed comfortably, and chuckled, "You didn't secretly read the books in the Elf Kingdom's library, did you? Are you thinking of getting back at me when we meet again?"

Upon hearing this, Serene's hand visibly stiffened, clearly indicating that she had been hit where it hurt.

"I want you to take care of it!"

Enraged by having her secret exposed, the mature elven woman quickened her pace, trying to finish Shilo quickly, but to no avail.

Moreover, as the sweat accumulated, the dragon's body, which was already difficult to fully grasp, became somewhat slippery, as if it were about to slip out of my hands at any moment.

Serene realized she couldn't continue like this, so she slowed down her movements, somewhat complaining about why Shiloh's body temperature was so high, making her palms sweaty and almost unable to hold him.

"I'm telling you, if all else fails, just hold it with both hands."

Shiloh looked at Serene with amusement and made the suggestion.

"..."

Serene didn't speak, but silently turned around and focused intently on the repair, like a plumber intently fixing a pipe.

She knew she couldn't win an argument with Xi Luo, so she decided to settle things with her hands!

However, Serene overlooked one point.

As a follower of the Mother Goddess Wansen, Xiluo absorbed the life energy bestowed by Wansen, which has now been completely integrated into his Yin and Yang meridians, and the spiritual liquid is rich in energy.
