Chapter 344: Xiao Bai's Peerless Daughter

“Old Ghost, settle the clan affairs first, then we'll depart immediately.”

Gui Jianchou said indifferently: “No need. The Saintess handles most of the Ghost Clan's affairs, and I don't know much about them.”

Gui Jianchou had previously been to the Witch Clan with the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor, and he relied on his memory to head toward Tianyuan. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Witch Clan's territory was hidden within the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

Since the Demon Emperors Tomb was destroyed, many Formations in Tianyuan have gradually disappeared.

The place had undergone earth-shaking changes. Gui Jianchou stood on the cliff, looking blankly at the endless jungle. The horizon was glowing with iridescent colors, similar to the aurora.

“It's been over a decade since I left here. I wonder how the Elf Clan's Magbi and his sister are doing now.”

Xiao Bai recalled the treasure hunt at the Demon Emperors Tomb over a decade ago; it felt like it happened just yesterday.

“Old Ghost, are you sure the Witch Clan's territory is here? When we came here to hunt for treasure, we never encountered them.”

Gui Jianchou frowned: “This place is completely different from over ten thousand years ago. Back then, an old wizard led me and the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor through more than a dozen Formations before we could get in.”

“Now, it's unrecognizable. All the Formations and illusions ceased to exist after the Demon Emperors Tomb was destroyed.”

“Let's go into the jungle and take a look.”

Xiao Bai nodded: “That's exactly what I was thinking.”

They leaped down from the ten-thousand-foot cliff. Xiao Bai used his powerful sense of smell to detect any disturbances within dozens of kilometers, while Gui Jianchou summoned a large amount of black slime to scatter throughout the jungle.

After some investigation, they looked at each other and shook their heads in disappointment; everything looked normal.

“Brother Bai, the Elf Clan is in Tianyuan. Why don't we find them and ask around?”

Xiao Bai took out the token from before. He hadn't been in contact with Magbi for over a decade and was worried they might have relocated their territory.

The signal seemed poor; Xiao Bai had to move to several different places before he finally made contact. Upon receiving the signal, Magbi was overjoyed and asked Xiao Bai to wait where he was, saying he would come to greet him personally.

Not far away in the grass, a ball of blue light suddenly emerged, and a group of elves riding small dinosaurs came bouncing over quickly, with Magbi leading the way.

The moment he saw Xiao Bai, he quickly jumped off the dinosaur's back and excitedly hugged Xiao Bai.

“I haven't seen Brother Bai for over a decade, and you're still as handsome and dashing as before.”

“Greetings to the Snake King.”

The elf guards beside Magbi stood in a row and bowed respectfully.

“Come with me to the Elf Kingdom quickly; I have good news to tell Brother Bai.”

Xiao Bai couldn't refuse the warm invitation, so he decided to rest in the Elf Kingdom first before continuing to search for the Witch Clan's tracks.

The Elf Kingdom had taken on a completely new look. After more than a decade of reproduction, the number of elves had increased significantly.

Their overall strength had been greatly enhanced; every elf had mastered magic to some degree. Under Magbi's governance, the Elf Kingdom was becoming increasingly prosperous.

The original dilapidated thatched cottages had been planned into neat villa complexes, all built by the state.

Every elf's face was beaming with smiles, and they greeted Xiao Bai and Gui Jianchou enthusiastically whenever they saw these two guests.

“The Elf Kingdom is really shaping up well under your governance.”

Ahead, it was very lively. Two beautiful white elves were walking toward Xiao Bai, with a large number of elves watching from both sides of the street.

One of the white elves was Magli. After more than a decade, not only was there no sign of aging, but she was even more refined than before. Her dressing style was much more mature, exuding the aura of a sophisticated woman.

The beautiful elf standing beside her looked eighty percent similar to her, obviously much younger, and her figure was slightly taller than Magli's.

“A Bi, you're really too polite. It would have been enough to just have your sister come over, but you actually brought another elf beauty who is no less stunning than her.”

Magbi's mouth twitched: “Brother Bai, please come this way. There are too many eyes here; we'll talk in detail once we return to the royal palace.”

Returning to the main hall of the royal palace, Magli immediately gave Xiao Bai a deep hug. She hadn't dared to express herself freely on the street just now; she was not only a ten-time consecutive beauty pageant winner but also the Princess of the Elf Kingdom.

“I missed you so much.”

“Ling'er, come over and meet your father.”

The beautiful white elf standing beside Magli walked forward excitedly. Her appearance was extremely pure, and her pair of straight, long legs were invincible, not inferior to that leg-obsessed Feng Yun.

Her whole body radiated light, and her white hair paired with faint, shimmering light-blue wings was full of liveliness.

“Greetings, Father.”

Bai Ling bowed slightly, her movements very ladylike, looking like a well-bred young lady.

Xiao Bai could no longer suppress his inner excitement, and tears welled up in his eyes.

When he saw Magli again, their daughter had already grown so big. According to her actual age, she should be a year or two younger than Xiao Run, but their growth rates were worlds apart.

Xiao Run was still a six or seven-year-old girl, while Bai Ling was already a budding young lady, with a tall figure and a Heaven-Defying appearance, recognized as the number one beauty in the Elf Kingdom.

For two completely different races, the difference in growth speed was vast.

“Good girl, you're a good child.”

Magli pulled Xiao Bai aside and whispered: “She is your biological daughter, and she has perfectly inherited all my advantages. Don't you dare have any designs on her.”

Xiao Bai was startled: “What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of beast?”

Magbi quickly stepped forward to interrupt: “You two can show affection when you go back to your room. You're treating us like air.”

“Ling'er has super talent and is the best among the younger generation in understanding magic.”

“Since she grew up, she has won the national beauty pageant twice in a row by unanimous vote. The championships for the past decade have all been swept by this mother and daughter.”

Bai Ling was a bit shy and really didn't know what to talk about with this father she was meeting for the first time, so she stood obediently by Magli's side the whole time.

“A Li, take Ling'er back to the sleeping quarters to rest first. I have things to discuss with Brother Bai.”

“Alright!”

Bai Ling looked back at Xiao Bai specifically, her eyes full of reluctance. Magli had told her stories since she was a child, saying her father was a great hero who defeated powerful enemies and stabilized the Elf Kingdom.

For the past decade, stories of Xiao Bai had been circulating in the Elf Kingdom; the Snake King descended from the sky to save the Elf Clan from dire straits and assisted the King in eliminating rebellions.

Magbi asked curiously: “Brother Bai and Brother Gui came to Tianyuan on a mission, right?”

Xiao Bai spoke bluntly: “That's right. We were tracking the traces of the Witch Clan, but we lost the trail when we got here.”

“We had no choice but to ask you to come and help us search together.”

From Magbi's expression, one could infer that he probably knew about the Witch Clan.

“Legend has it that this evil race is somewhere in Tianyuan. The Elf Clan has been multiplying in this area for generations and has rarely had dealings with them.”

“I have seen information about the Witch Clan in an ancient book.”

“Wait a moment, I'll go find that ancient book. It has detailed records of the Witch Clan.”

Magbi took an ancient book out of the Secret Chamber and placed it on the table.

Xiao Bai and Gui Jianchou excitedly stepped forward to examine it. It had terrifying patterns and some special text on it.

It didn't look like the text of the Elf Clan, and Magbi couldn't read it either; he could only guess based on the patterns.

Chapter 345: Call Me Dad

Gui Jianchou seemed to be able to understand some of the strange text in the book and suddenly shouted: “It's actually Ghost Sacrificial Script!”

“Ah?”

Xiao Bai looked at Gui Jianchou in astonishment. He really wanted to know the hiding place of the Witch Clan through him so he could find the Divine Nun of the North Sea.

In order to obtain the Marrow Cleansing Pearl and completely eradicate the hidden danger in Bai Su's body, even if it were a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, Xiao Bai would still proceed as always.

“Can you see any clues from it?”

Gui Jianchou studied it carefully: “The Ghost Sacrificial Script is a language that has long been lost to the Ghost Clan. It's truly inconceivable that it would appear in a Witch Clan ancient book.”

The ancient book recorded many things about the Witch Clan, which required Gui Jianchou to slowly digest before he could find the answer within.

Xiao Bai didn't continue to disturb him and went to the next room with Magbi to have tea.

Once he saw Xiao Bai, Magbi became more talkative. His mental state was very relaxed and casual; he didn't look like a King at all.

He talked endlessly to Xiao Bai about many things concerning the Elf Clan, focusing on the affairs of Magli and her daughter.

“Why don't you go find A Li directly? Brother Gui needs some time to digest the information in the ancient book.”

Xiao Bai thought it made sense. Unknowingly, his daughter had already grown so big; it was very necessary to go and see her.

Back then, Magli had given her all to open the Demon Emperors Tomb, and she had voluntarily given her first time to Xiao Bai.

It was precisely because of this action that the originally destitute siblings were able to leap into becoming the rulers of the Elf Clan with Xiao Bai's help.

After more than a decade of development, the Elf Clan had grown much stronger, and they had cultivated a large number of elites skilled in magic within the clan. In the Tianyuan region, no other race dared to have designs on them anymore.

Led by a maid, Xiao Bai soon arrived at Magli's room, where the mother and daughter were laughing and talking.

Knock, knock!

“May I come in?”

Hearing Xiao Bai's voice, the laughter in the room stopped immediately. The mother and daughter quickly tidied up their appearance and presented themselves to Xiao Bai in their best state.

Magli came over to open the door herself. She couldn't hide the excitement on her face, and her voice trembled slightly.

“You're here. I thought you would be discussing with my brother until very late.”

“I took a break to come and see you.”

Magli slowly closed the door and waved at Bai Ling: “Ling'er, why don't you come and pay respects to your father?”

Bai Ling quickly stepped forward, knelt on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed to Xiao Bai: “Father, please accept your child's grand salute.”

“Please get up quickly, you really mustn't.”

“I only just learned of your existence. It has really been hard on you over the past decade. I didn't prepare a red envelope for our first meeting.”

Bai Ling's skin was smooth and delicate, and her pretty face had a natural blush.

Xiao Bai used his silver tongue to ramble on for a while, and the awkward atmosphere eased a lot.

Bai Ling's big, watery eyes were filled with tears; it was the first time she had been in such close contact with her biological father.

Xiao Bai was extremely satisfied with this beautiful daughter who looked like a Heavenly Immortal; she was polite and well-mannered.
