What, that’s it?

The system prompt made Su Ran feel that something was amiss; he felt like the system had tricked him. When he took the quest, everything seemed fine, with promises of rewards from the Elf Queen! But now, there was no reward in sight, just a pat on the back.

"Ling Wei, apologize to the Skeleton Warrior right now!"

Seeing Ling Wei’s lack of restraint, the Elf Queen immediately scolded her, "You really need to change that attitude of yours!"

"No need, Ling Wei is still a child, I won’t stoop to her level."

"You’re the child! Your whole family are children!"

Feeling annoyed, Ling Wei gave Su Ran a fierce glare. If it weren’t for the Elf Queen beside her, she would have already started arguing with him.

"Skeleton Warrior, you saved our elven race; you should be rewarded!"

The Elf Queen looked at Su Ran with appreciative eyes, "Tell me, what kind of reward would you like, don’t hesitate to ask."

"First, thanks to your Highness. Um, do you have a Dream-Seeking Mirror?"

"Cough cough, that is a stuff of legend; such treasures can only be claimed by those destined for them, not to be taken forcefully."

"How about a God-Demon Device?"

Su Ran settled for second best, turning his attention to equipment.

"We are elves, what would we do with a God-Demon Device?"

The Elf Queen’s face had already turned grim, and if it weren’t for her deep friendship with Su Ran, she would have already turned and left. "How about a divine pet, then? An elemental pet would also do. My demands are not high; I’m easy to please."

Is that what you call not high?

The others rolled their eyes, looking at this shameless Skeleton, at a loss for words at the moment.

"Skeleton Warrior, I’m not feeling very well today. Please come back another day."

The Elf Queen forced a smile towards Su Ran, and without waiting for a response, hurried towards the royal palace. Judging by her agile figure, where was the slightest hint of weakness?

Come on, if you won’t give it, then don’t, but to turn me down right away?

"Elf Queen, please wait!"

Su Ran wasn’t about to let go of this rare opportunity. He quickly chased after her, who knew when the next time he would see the Elf Queen would be? If it dragged on for ten days or half a month, the opportunity would be lost~!

"I just realized, Overturning Water is really shameless..."

Banana swallowed saliva subconsciously, as if meeting this Undead Skeleton for the first time, and spoke deeply moved.

"Sister Ling Wei, what you said is too right, this Skeleton is really without shame or embarrassment."

Wu Qing watched the Undead Skeleton pestering the Elf Queen relentlessly, feeling embarrassed on his behalf.

"Damn it, even this sleazy Skeleton can become an envoy. Heaven really is blind!"

Ling Wei huffed loudly, angrily saying, "It was just delivering a spark; to think he would act so important!"

"Don’t say that, for our Queen, it was a life-saving remedy, extremely precious."

"Even so, he shouldn’t be threatening the Queen with it. Just looking at his sleazy manner makes me angry!"

While the two elves were whispering among themselves, Su Ran had already caught up with the Elf Queen and blocked her path with a smile.

"Skeleton Warrior, didn’t I tell you to come back another day?"

The Elf Queen’s face showed her annoyance, and her tone became very unpleasant.

"Don’t rush, listen to me first, my queen, you are merely drained and weak, but otherwise unharmed. I have a unique item here that can quickly restore your condition."

Su Ran’s olive branch piqued the curiosity of the elven queen.

"A unique item?"

The elven queen eyed the skeleton before her with an indescribable gaze, "I would like to see what kind of treasure you can pull out!"

"Hehe, of course, I won’t disappoint you!"

Su Ran grinned, and from between his legs he pulled out a bottle of thick yellow liquid. Although the posture was indecent, it did not affect the value of the liquid. He handed the bottle to the elven queen, explaining, "Please look, my lord, this is an extremely rare Monkey Wine, very effective in revitalizing the spirit. Just try it, and you’ll see!"

Having brewed this Monkey Wine for so long, how could he not feel its magical effects? For the elven queen’s current state, it couldn’t be more perfect!

"What? Monkey Wine?"

A flicker of interest crossed the elven queen’s eyes as she took the bottle from Su Ran’s hands, took a deep sniff of the rich fragrance, and exclaimed with a hint of joy, "Indeed, it is an extremely rare and fine brew. Skeleton Warrior, I have misunderstood you. To give away such precious Monkey Wine so freely, how could you be the kind of person who forsakes righteousness for personal gain?"

Phew!

Su Ran hadn’t expected his image in the elven queen’s mind to be so tarnished, but thankfully he had bribed her in time; otherwise, it might have been difficult to see her again in the future...

"Glug."

The elven queen, quite boldly, lifted the bottle and guzzled the Monkey Wine in one go. Moments later, a rosy blush spread across her exquisite face, stunningly beautiful.

So beautiful!

Not just the banana, but even the two female elves were left staring in awe.

As for Su Ran, his mind contrasted the elven queen’s previous visage of an elderly crone with the current one, and his pleasant fantasy instantly shattered, turning the hint of excitement in his heart into fear—the kind of feeling one gets when a romance movie suddenly transforms into a horror film.

"Sigh."

Moments later, the red flush faded from the elven queen’s face, and after exhaling a breath of turbid air, she appeared refreshed and energized.

"Skeleton Warrior, the effect of this Monkey Wine is indeed excellent!"

Feeling a noticeable improvement in her weakened state, the elven queen expressed her genuine amazement, still savoring the lingering taste of the wine, an endless delight.

"Is Monkey Wine really that badass?"

Banana chuckled to himself as he observed the envious and desirous expressions of the two women beside him. He intentionally pulled out his own bottle of Monkey Wine, showing off brazenly, "Even the queen herself can’t stop praising this wine, I really can’t bear to drink it!"

"Another bottle of Monkey Wine!"

The atmosphere suddenly became very subtle. The two women cornered Banana, and even the elven queen, setting aside her dignity, quickly approached him.

"Banana, save some of that wine for me, I want to taste it!"

Ling Wei stared at the bottle of Monkey Wine in Banana’s hand with shining eyes, wishing she could snatch it directly if not for the system’s restrictions.

"If Queen Wu Qing needs the Monkey Wine, Banana, shouldn’t you offer it up quickly?"

The icy gaze from Xue Wuqing made Banana shiver as if he had fallen into an ice cave, "The Skeleton Warrior has given so much for the elf tribe, and yet you lack even this bit of awareness?"

The elven queen, meanwhile, watched Banana with a smile, silent, waiting for his next move.

"Hey, that kid Banana is really asking for trouble!"

Su Ran watched as Banana was surrounded by the three women, his scalp tingling. If it were him, wouldn’t he die of embarrassment? However, he could tell that the kid actually quite enjoyed being surrounded by the ladies, evident from his expression of pleasure.

According to Ling Wei, this was even more despicable than the Undead Skeleton!
