Chapter 018: Devotion

Thus, amidst the vast crowd of elves, Naixiu was gently led by Du Fan by the hand, walking awkwardly among thousands of people. Naixiu’s beauty, Du Fan’s holy aura, and his calm smile made the elves feel that even as a human, such a pair would be a perfect match.
Du Fan led Naixiu to the raised platform. As an elder of the elf race, he was allowed to sit there during today’s event. Saito warmly invited Du Fan to sit beside him, and Naixiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, able to escape that awkward situation. She sat among a row of female elf elders.
“Lord Du Fan, our elf women are quite remarkable, aren’t they?” Saito said, lowering his head and giving Du Fan a smile meant only for men.
“Indeed, quite remarkable,” Du Fan replied, nodding repeatedly as he looked at Saito’s lecherous expression.
“But—” Saito raised his head in confusion and examined Naixiu carefully. “Why do I feel that Chief Naixiu is still a virgin?”
“Oh, well, respected chief, as you know, people make mistakes. So it’s not strange if you misjudge sometimes. After all, Chief Naixiu now possesses the highest level of cultivation; it’s not easy to judge her just by appearance,” Du Fan said, shaking his head.
“That doesn’t seem related to cultivation levels,” Saito murmured.
“Respected chief, may I ask what kind of event is taking place today?” Du Fan quickly changed the subject.
“Today will be an incredibly exciting day!” Saito suddenly became excited.
“Elder Du Fan, wait a moment—you’ll know what’s happening today soon,” Saito said mysteriously with a smile at Du Fan.
“That pervert!” Du Fan thought to himself.
“Now, a great moment has arrived!” Saito suddenly stood up and announced loudly to the elves gathered on the grassland.
“The once-in-a-thousand-years competition is about to begin! This millennium will show us who—will become the holder of the Eternal Bow!” Saito said excitedly.
“The Eternal Bow! A legendary artifact! Along with the Spring of Life, it’s one of the three greatest artifacts of the elves!” Upon hearing Saito’s announcement, Du Fan’s eyelids twitched suddenly.

“Let the Eternal Bow be unveiled!” As Saito spoke, a pure elven girl stepped forward. She held a box about a foot long in her hands. Even before the legendary bow was taken out, energy ripples could be sensed from within the box. That energy carried an aura of eternity, as if it had come straight from ancient times. Despite traversing countless times and spaces, its essence remained unchanged, eternal and unchanging!

“What a powerful aura, such strange fluctuations!” Du Fan thought to himself in amazement.

Near the box containing the Eternal Bow, there seemed to be an endless, dark vortex. It was from this spinning vortex that the astonishing energy emanated.

When the box was taken out, the entire elven race became excited. A divine artifact, a legendary-grade artifact! Unless one was a fool, who wouldn’t want to possess such a sacred bow?

Du Fan glanced secretly at Nai Xiu and noticed that she too was excited—not just excited, but extremely so. Her excitement was mixed with great anticipation and a firm determination. That determined gaze reflected a resolve to never give up until she obtained the Eternal Bow!

“Why does this girl want the Eternal Bow so badly?” Du Fan pondered quietly.

“The rules remain the same. Each tribe gets one chance to compete. You may start discussing registrations now. The official competition will begin this afternoon!” Saito continued to announce.

As soon as he finished speaking, the elves divided into small groups and began discussing quietly.

Nai Xiu also stood up and walked downstairs.

“Elder Du Fan, why aren’t you following Chief Nai Xiu?” Saito asked curiously, seeing that Du Fan remained seated while Nai Xiu left.

“Women shouldn’t be spoiled. If I keep following her, what kind of impression would that give?” Du Fan replied thoughtfully.

“A true master, indeed a master,” Saito thought, recalling the famous fierce female elf in his own family.

Soon, the elves sent their representatives to register on the platform. Du Fan glanced casually and saw that Nai Xiu was one of the competitors from the Kaiyi tribe—just as he had expected.

After registering, the competitors went back to prepare. In the afternoon, the first battles would begin.

Du Fan followed Nai Xiu back to their room.

I have to say, Naixiu is doing pretty well following Du Fan. Take this time for example—the new house carefully prepared by the Elven Ancient Tree clan for Du Fan and Naixiu is not only beautiful but also fully equipped. Behind the house is a bathroom, inside which some kind of magic array seems to be installed, allowing the temperature of the water to be adjusted at will.

Running into the bathroom, Naixiu locked the door tightly and sat down on a chair. Du Fan prepared to listen to the sound of the water and then indulge in his fantasies. But after waiting for a long time, not a sound of water came through. He secretly sent a bit of his mental energy to investigate, but as soon as it entered the bathroom, it was blocked by an energy barrier. Du Fan tried to guide that energy to probe around, only to find that it couldn’t get in at all.

“It seems this girl isn’t completely clueless; she even knows how to set up barriers to prevent me from spying. Hey, am I that lecherous?” After thinking for a moment, Du Fan smiled and shook his head.

When Naixiu came out after washing up, Du Fan’s expression froze. The little guy below had actually started setting up a tent. The freshly washed Naixiu was incredibly beautiful—her rosy face, her striking eyes, and her lips, full of deadly temptation, slightly curved upward. Her body, still damp from washing, carried a misty allure that was enough to make Du Fan daydream.

Worse still, since she was going to compete in the afternoon, Naixiu was dressed lightly, giving her an almost seductive appearance. Her clothes were minimal, revealing her flawlessly perfect curves. Her small but prominently raised breasts were covered by a bra, with hints of snow-white skin visible around it. Wearing a miniskirt similar to modern ones, her full hips and the snow-white area between her thighs made Du Fan want to explore further.

Feeling a surge of heat below, Du Fan quickly cast a spell to calm his arousal. Unfortunately, his nose felt cold, and two streams of liquid flowed down. “Damn it!” he thought. Chenchen also had such beauty, but she had never looked so tempting. At most, she only let Du Fan see half of her breasts. But Naixiu—her long legs, her full hips, and the faintly visible area between her thighs…

“Lord Du Fan, are you sick?” Naixiu asked worriedly, seeing him with two streams of nosebleed.

“Hmm…” Du Fan wiped his nose, removing the blood that had flowed down into his mouth. “Maybe I haven’t eaten meat for a long time, so my body is weak,” he said sheepishly.
“Well, it’s my fault. We elves don’t like meat, so we didn’t prepare any to entertain Lord Du Fan. If I win the Eternal Bow in this competition, I’ll go hunt meat for you myself,” Nayixiu said earnestly.
“Great, I’m looking forward to it,” Du Fan said with a smile.
You yourself are the best meat! When will I be able to eat this meat? Du Fan thought to himself.
Seeing Du Fan’s half-smiling, hungry expression, Nayixiu found it strange but didn’t think much of it. After leaving Nayixiu to rest alone, Du Fan went out to explore on his own.
Looking up at the giant Ancient Tree of Life above, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a gentle glow that lacked intensity but instead brought a sense of warmth. As Du Fan wandered around, a voice came from behind him.
“Elder Du Fan. Why aren’t you with Chief Nayixiu?”
Turning around, Lan Ling, the curvy beauty among the elves, smiled at him.
“She’s resting. There’s a competition this afternoon, so I told her to take a break first,” Du Fan replied absentmindedly.
“Elder Du Fan isn’t familiar with this place. Let me be your guide,” Lan Ling said with a smile.
The area around the Ancient Tree of Life was vast. There weren’t many elves along the way. Under Lan Ling’s guidance, Du Fan wandered around, and she patiently explained everything to him.
“This is Honey Lake.” The two arrived by a lake—a huge one. The surrounding area was covered with tall, lush grass, and among the grasses were countless flowers.
“What a wonderful place!” Du Fan exclaimed in admiration.
“Hehe, as expected, Elder Du Fan has good taste. The shores of Honey Lake are a popular spot for our elves’ young men and women to meet secretly,” Lan Ling said, her eyes sparkling as she began to describe the lake.
“Haha, that’s indeed a great place,” Du Fan said, turning to smile at her.
By chance, he saw the rare sight of turbulent waves among the elves. Inspired, he casually asked, “Hehe, has Elder Lan Ling ever met someone here secretly?” He regretted saying that immediately, as it was too frivolous and impudent!

I wonder if he saw Du Fan staring at those turbulent waves. Lan Ling lifted the hem of her clothes at her chest with her hand, turned her head back, raised her almond-shaped eyes, curled her crimson lips, and said deliberately or casually, “What are Elder Du Fan talking about? This is the first time Lan Ling has met someone here in secret.”

Hearing Lan Ling’s words, Du Fan suddenly felt a heat in his chest and became parched. Temptation! Clear temptation! Listening to Lan Ling’s words, he naturally assumed it was some kind of hint from her. Yet the girl still wore a calm smile, looking extremely devout, leaving Du Fan unsure whether she was truly tempting him or not.

“Since it’s the first time Elder Lan Ling has a secret meeting like this, how about we play some fun games?” Du Fan said, swallowing hard as he stared at those weapons.

“Hehe, such a smart person as Elder Du Fan—can’t you tell what I meant just now?” Lan Ling stepped forward two steps and spoke gently, turning her back to Du Fan.

Her light blue robe accentuated her graceful figure. As the breeze blew, the outline of her round buttocks became visible through the thin fabric…

Already agitated from Nayixiu’s teasing in the room earlier, Du Fan could no longer hold back upon hearing Lan Ling’s words! Another wave of heat surged from his lower abdomen. This time, he didn’t suppress it—he pressed his weapon against her back and reached forward, firmly pressing it against those rare waves of the elf race!
