The Dark Elf Kingdom.
The Dark Elves live in a desolate and gloomy region, home to a dense, dark forest where twisted trees and strange, shimmering plants grow.
Deep within the forest, in a mysterious and shadowy realm, stands a somber yet magnificent castle.
The castle has thick walls, covered in vines.
The towering towers are mostly constructed of black stone, their sharp spires exuding a cold and imposing aura.
The overall color scheme leans towards dark tones, blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment and adding a touch of life to the castle.
The main hall has a high ceiling, supported by many massive stone pillars.
The walls are adorned with exquisite tapestries depicting the history and legends of the Dark Elves.
The floor is paved with polished black marble, and the hall is filled with exquisite sculptures and treasures, culminating in a towering throne.
On the throne sits the Dark Elf King
—Nightfall City.
Beneath the throne sat civil and military officials, with a large screen in the center broadcasting Fang Xian's livestream of slaying the dragon.
Ye Shangcheng, around sixty years old, had dark skin, a robust build, and sharp eyes.
He looked at Ye Li, his gaze tender.
"Li'er, is he really your husband?"
Everyone looked at Ye Li, filled with anticipation.
Ye Li slowly rose, her beautiful face radiating pride.
"Yes, Fang Xian is indeed my husband."
"He not only wreaked havoc at 'Divine Stone Mountain,' but he also raised all the members who went there to level 500, and he even helped me reach level 1000."
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials all gasped.
His incredible prowess at "Divine Stone Mountain" was proof enough that he surpassed all the geniuses of his clan.
And the fact that he was willing to give all the "Advanced Divine Stones" to the Dark Elves showed the extent of his kindness.
In just 20 days, he had brought Ye Li to level 1000; the leveling speed was truly unbelievable.
Now, he had actually slaughtered a Dragon Clan elder in Asian City, and in front of ten top-tier Dragon Clan experts no less! He was simply incomparably powerful.
Having someone of this caliber as Ye Li's husband was undoubtedly fantastic news.
The only thing that slightly bothered them was that Fang Xian didn't discriminate between friend and foe when he was scheming.
For example, right now, the Grand Elder sent by the Dark Elves had his "Storage Ring" stolen by Fang Xian and even been kindly given a loan; they were truly grateful.
Ye Shangcheng, however, didn't care about any of this, staring intently at Ye Li with a serious expression.
"Li'er, how do you feel about Fang Xian? Can you entrust your life to him?"
Ye Li's gaze was piercing, her face earnest, and she answered without hesitation with a resounding yes.
"Yes, my husband is absolutely trustworthy."
Ye Shangcheng pondered. Based on Ye Li's words and Fang Xian's actions, it was clear he was a ruthless character who treated his own people well but showed no mercy to his enemies.
His flaws were his womanizing and penchant for scheming.
Fortunately, Fang Xian treated all his wives well; otherwise, Ye Shangcheng wouldn't have dared to decide to trade the "Dark Elf Blood" to him.
"Li'er, then call Fang Xian over. We'll meet and then trade the 'Dark Elf Blood' to him."
Ye Li was overjoyed. Finally, she could help Fang Xian settle an important matter. She was determined to get a reward of several hundred billion from him and treat herself to a good meal.
"Okay, thank you, Father. I'll call my husband right away."
She took out her "communication phone" and relayed Ye Shangcheng's words to Fang Xian.
"Hehe, Father, my husband said he'll be here soon."
Ye Shangcheng was slightly surprised and asked, puzzled.
"What do you mean? Isn't he in Asia City? How come he's here so soon?"
"Hehe, it means…"
Before Ye Li could finish speaking, a handsome figure appeared beside her.
They all stared at Fang Xian in surprise, never expecting him to actually appear so quickly.
"Husband."
Ye Li happily hugged Fang Xian's arm, completely oblivious to the stares of others.
Fang Xian gently stroked Ye Li's head, his eyes filled with affection.
Then he looked at the king on the throne and gave a slight bow.
"Your Majesty, I am Fang Xian."
Ye Shangcheng didn't pay much attention to Fang Xian's perfunctory bow and smiled slightly.
"No need for formalities, Fang Xian, please sit."
"Thank you."
Fang Xian didn't stand on ceremony and immediately sat down next to Ye Li.
Ye Shangcheng scrutinized Fang Xian, getting straight to the point.
"Fang Xian, I heard you want the 'Dark Elf Blood'?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Would you be willing to trade with me?"
"Fang Xian, may I ask, what kind of power is behind you?"
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials looked at Fang Xian with curiosity.
They all desperately wanted to know the answer: what kind of entity could possess so many treasures like 'Advanced Divine Stones'?
And how could a 20-year-old youth become so powerful?
These were the questions they were eager to answer.
Fang Xian was taken aback, shaking his head and smiling wryly.
If he said his so-called backing was the "God-Level Multiplier Return System," he wondered if they would believe him.
However, this was his biggest secret, and he certainly couldn't tell anyone.
Since others wanted to guess, he might as well keep the mystery to himself.
Fang Xian smiled gently and shook his head slightly.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I cannot answer this question."
Ye Shangcheng was slightly disappointed, but it was within his expectations.
However, from Fang Xian's words, he could infer that there was indeed an unknown and powerful force behind him.
As for whether Fang Xian was deliberately concealing something, he thought it unlikely.
Otherwise, how could Fang Xian, as an ordinary human, possibly be so powerful?
In fact, it wasn't just Ye Shangcheng who thought this; the high-ranking officials of various forces shared the same idea.
But none of them could imagine which force possessed such power.
However, when they thought of the "Genius Ranking," "Divine Stone Mountain," the vanished Human Emperor, and the Elf God—the strongest beings—they understood.
Too many inexplicable things create infinite possibilities.
Ye Shangcheng smiled at Fang Xian and nodded softly.
"It's alright, I won't force you if you don't want to talk about it."
He waved his hand, and a black wooden brocade box flew towards Fang Xian.
"Fang Xian, since you and my daughter Ye Li are husband and wife, then consider this drop of 'Dark Elf Blood' as her dowry."
Fang Xian took the black brocade box, somewhat speechless.
Ye Shang City just sold his daughter to him like that?
Without even asking about the bride price or the wedding?
Are they really afraid he'll run away?
However, given the immense power Fang Xian has displayed, it's understandable why Nightfall City is so eager to acknowledge his relationship with Ye Li.
After all, Ye Li is just one of Nightfall City's many daughters. For a king, the princess who can bring the greatest benefit is the most valuable princess.
As for the "Dark Elf Blood," it's just a drop, insignificant.
He didn't believe Fang Xian could acquire the "Dark Elf Physique" with just a drop of "Dark Elf Blood."
So, he gave it to him.
Unbeknownst to him, Fang Xian was already ecstatic with just a drop of "Dark Elf Blood."
Everything was ready, only the synthesis was needed.
The "Chaotic Divine Body," Fang Xian had arrived.
