Chapter 98: Chapter 21: The Elf Sisters’ Invitation! Mom’s Cooking Is Really Delicious

[Snow Porpoise Egg (Epic): An egg from a Snow Dolphin. (Don’t lie to me! Dolphins are mammals!)]

"Why is it an egg?"

Su Xuan looked around the cave. There was only a single, snow-crystal-colored egg and nothing else.

He reached out a fingertip and gently touched the shell, but he couldn’t feel any pulse of life from within.

’Could it be a lifeless egg?’

"Master, I think it’s already dead..."

Alice said, looking at the snow-crystal-colored egg, her sky-blue eyes shimmering with a faint light.

As a Witch’s Creation herself, she could sense the other’s witchy aura.

But the being inside the egg didn’t respond to her, which meant there was no life within it.

"I see."

Su Xuan nodded lightly, but his mind was filled with confusion. ’Why would a lifeless egg appear in a place like this? Was the Snow Dolphin silently guarding it?’

Just as they were lost in thought, a slight noise broke the silence. They turned to see a white Snow Dolphin had appeared behind them.

"Danger!"

Rosaline reacted instantly, pulling Su Xuan tightly behind her. Her Oath Sword pointed directly at the Snow Dolphin as she went on full alert.

However, what happened next left them stunned. The Snow Dolphin showed no hostility toward them. Instead, it hopped and bounded toward the Snow Porpoise Egg. Just as they were wondering what it was doing, they saw it begin to continuously channel its Magic Power into the egg.

"What is it doing?" Su Xuan was deeply confused.

"Master... It’s killing itself!" Alice cried out, her voice filled with anxiety.

"Killing itself?"

"Yes!" Alice nodded and explained, "As Witch’s Creations, our existence depends on a sliver of the Witch’s Original Magic Power. Right now, it’s transferring its own Original Magic Power to that egg! When its Original Magic Power is completely gone, it will die!"

Su Xuan’s brow furrowed upon hearing Alice’s words. He didn’t understand why the Snow Dolphin was doing this. ’By giving its Original Magic Power to the egg, could it really bring the egg to life?’

While he was still puzzled, the Snow Dolphin had already transferred all of its Original Magic Power to the egg. It then turned and let out a few "EEE EEE EEE" cries at Alice.

"You want us to help you raise this egg?" Alice asked in shock.

"You can understand it?" Su Xuan asked, surprised that Alice could understand the Snow Dolphin’s language.

"Yes!" Alice nodded affirmatively. "We are both Witch’s Creations, so we can communicate in the language of the Witches. Master, the Snow Dolphin hopes we can help it raise the Snow Porpoise Egg."

Hearing this, Su Xuan’s brow twitched slightly. He looked at the Snow Porpoise Egg in the Snow Dolphin’s embrace. Even though it had absorbed the Snow Dolphin’s Original Magic Power, it still wasn’t emitting any sign of life. The Snow Dolphin, on the other hand, had exhausted its Original Magic Power, and its Life Force was fading rapidly.

Looking at the hopeful expression in the Snow Dolphin’s eyes, Su Xuan finally nodded and said, "Tell it we’ll help take good care of this egg."

He guessed the Snow Dolphin had made this decision because it sensed that Alice was also a Witch’s Creation, and perhaps there was some deep connection between the Moonlight Witch and the Icefield Witch. That’s why it chose to trust Alice and entrust the egg to them.

"Okay, I’ll tell it."

Alice immediately relayed Su Xuan’s message to the Snow Dolphin.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Dolphin showed a joyful expression. It hopped and bounced over to Su Xuan, bent its tail fins as if in a kneeling posture, and respectfully presented the egg to him.

Seeing this, Su Xuan glanced at Alice. ’She must have said something to the Snow Dolphin,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, it should be trusting her, not me.’

"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of this egg," Su Xuan promised as he accepted the Snow Porpoise Egg. Although it was a lifeless egg, he could at least ensure it was kept safe in the Guild, free from any bumps or damage.

"EEE EEE EEE~" The Snow Dolphin chirped joyfully, then gradually turned into ice and snow, vanishing without a trace.

Su Xuan was a bit stunned by this scene. His quest seemed to be complete now that the Snow Dolphin had disappeared, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that the process had been somewhat unusual.

"Master~ Let’s go~"

Alice gently took Su Xuan’s right arm, her cute face beaming with a brilliant smile.

Back at the Guild, Su Xuan carefully placed the Snow Porpoise Egg in a glass case for protection. He had considered putting it in a flowerpot, but the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly was always flying around it curiously, trying to touch the egg. Worried that its Flame would melt the Snow Porpoise Egg, Su Xuan had specifically added the glass case as a barrier. Now, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly could only press against the outside of the glass, staring longingly at the Snow Porpoise Egg inside.

[Quest Complete!]

[EXP +1500! Silver Coins +15!]

After Su Xuan submitted the quest, a notification popped up in his vision.

[Demon Spirit Doll Character Quest: Stage Two Complete!]

[Reward Obtained: Soul Weapon New Form +1!]

[Transforming the Witch’s aura within the Demon Spirit Doll...]

[Successfully unlocked new Soul Weapon form—Ice Silk Snow Thread!]

[Ice Silk Snow Thread (Unknown): This weapon form is woven from ice and snow. It is exceptionally tough and carries a frost effect. Originates from the aura of the Icefield Witch.]

"Ice Silk Snow Thread?" Su Xuan was curious about Alice’s new Soul Weapon.

While he was still pondering, Alice had already revealed her new weapon.

"Master~ Look!" With a thought, Alice was instantly surrounded by countless shimmering, crystal-blue ice threads that radiated a biting chill. The threads were as thin as fine silk, yet they contained a terrifying power that sent a shiver down the spine.

Furthermore, like Alice’s Soul Cutter, these ice threads could be controlled from a distance. However, compared to its lethality, this Soul Weapon’s control effects were even more outstanding.

"A good weapon."

Su Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Just then, the third stage of Alice’s quest suddenly appeared in his vision.

[Stage Three: ? (Unlocks after traveling to the palace where the Moonlight Witch once lived in the Moon God Empire)]

[Quest Reward: Unlock a new Soul Weapon form! (Current Soul Weapon forms: 2)]

’So the third stage of the quest requires going to the Moon God Empire to unlock?’

Su Xuan frowned slightly when he saw that the third stage was just a question mark. The situation with the Moon God Empire was rather unique. Its existence relied on Faith in the Moon Goddess, and entering it required a pass. Even Player Teleportation Arrays couldn’t directly access its territory.

However, if he got a quest located within the Moon God Empire, he could teleport there directly. The quest giver would provide them with a temporary pass, making it convenient to enter.

’Perhaps... there are other ways to enter the Moon God Empire...’

Su Xuan mused. He knew that getting a quest wasn’t the only way in, but entering the Moon God Empire was certainly a hassle.

As he was lost in thought, the Teleportation Array flashed with white light, and Ivsha and the others returned to the Guild.

"Mr. Su Xuan~ We’re back~" Ivsha said with a smile.

"Did the quest go smoothly?" Su Xuan asked with concern.

"Mhm! It went very smoothly!" Beiya Fuli nodded emphatically.

Beira Furo added, "It was our first time seeing a world filled with flowers. That female physician was amazing!"

"Oh?"

Su Xuan’s eyes flickered as he mentally mulled over this so-called "world filled with flowers." He had never seen such a place himself.

"You’ve worked hard. Here’s your payment."

Su Xuan divided the payment into two portions and handed them to Ivsha and the Elf Sisters.

"Thank you, Mr. President!"

Beiya Fuli took the coin pouch and thanked him gleefully.

"Alright, there are no more quests for today. We’ll continue tomorrow."

Su Xuan said to the Elf Sisters.

The ten E-Level evaluation quests were all complete. All that remained was the special commissioned quest that was about to refresh, so there were currently no suitable quests to give the Elves.

"We understand~ We’ll do whatever you say, Mr. President~"

Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo exchanged a look, then nodded obediently.

Their earnings for the day had been quite substantial. Three commissioned quests had earned them twenty Silver Coins. For them, who had lived in the Elf Kingdom for over a decade, this was an unprecedented fortune!

"Still, it’s pretty early~"

Su Xuan glanced at the sky. It was only around five in the afternoon; it seemed a bit too early to log off.

"In that case~ does Mr. Su Xuan want to...?"

Yifuna’s face lit up with anticipation when she heard Su Xuan say it was still early!

"Get that thought out of your head!"

Su Xuan immediately cut off Yifuna’s train of thought. The exhaustion from the "morning prayer" hadn’t even faded yet!

’Does she want a "night prayer" session too?’

"What a shame~"

"If... If you wouldn’t mind, Mr. President, would you like to come to our house for dinner?"

Beiya Fuli suddenly extended this invitation to Su Xuan.

’Wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate?’

Hearing the offer, a flicker of interest sparked within Su Xuan.

But the Elf Sisters had only joined the Guild two days ago. Going to their home so soon...

"It’s okay! Everyone in the Guild is a good person! Besides, our mom’s cooking is really delicious! You’ll definitely like it, Mr. President!" Beira Furo quickly added.

"Is that so? In that case, I’m looking forward to it..."

Just as Su Xuan was about to accept, a thought struck him like a bolt of lightning!

’Mom?’

’Wait!’

A premonition flashed through Su Xuan’s mind. ’The Elf Mother that Liu Xue mentioned before... could she be Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo’s...’

"Come on~ Mr. President~"

The Elf Sisters took one of his arms each. "Mom said she really wants to meet you, too!"

"I-Is that so?"

Su Xuan was a little surprised. Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo’s mother wanted to meet him?

’This makes it even more exciting!’

"Alright! Let’s head out now!"
