"This place is still the same after so many years." Kai said with a smile as he and the group were standing outside the throne room.
Since Laofen was the ruler, she had already gone in and was currently telling the elven officials about Kai and his group.
Most of them were dressed in their regular clothes but Kai had asked the women from the mortal cultivation realm to wear some other clothes than the ones they were currently wearing.
Since Riang, Yui and Nezuko were still wearing the Blue Moon sect's clothes, Kai had given them a simple pair of dresses to wear to make all of them unique.
If most people were wearing the same type of clothes with a certain symbol on them, the elves believed that they were part of a certain family of a sect.
Kai didn't really care about what they thought but he for Laofen's sake, he decided to comply with the customs.
Watanabe and Kiana had already switched to regular robes instead of the Zian family ones after they had come to join Kai on his journey.
As all of them were waiting for Laofen to call them inside, Kai thought that it was about time he revealed that he could now impregnate them.
But he decided to do this differently.
"I was wondering whether any of you want to have my child." Kai casually asked as the others stared at him in confusion.
"That's a rather sudden question." Yui admitted as Kai smiled.
All of them looked at each other for a few seconds before they shook their heads.
"We do want to have your child but we are currently in the middle of figuring out what happened to you and us and since the enemy is unknown, I don't think we should have children with us at this time since we would worry about them and might become useless. Do you all agree with me?" Mia asked as the other women nodded.
Kai sighed as he had expected an answer like this so he decided to not tell them about him now being able to impregnate them.
He instead told them about what he had seen in the black void of darkness. Their expressions were confused and grim at the same time as they didn't understand what he was talking about.
"What are you all talking about?" Esmeralda asked as she was the only one who didn't know what they were talking about.
In reality, she didn't even know what they were doing here and Laofen, the ruler of the elven realm, seemed friendly with Kai. Esmeralda was just following her sister Hela since she didn't really know what to do.
"It isn't anything that important. Looks like it is our time to enter." Kai said with a wave of his hand.
They entered the hall with Kai leading forward while all of them walking behind him. The elven officials gasped visibly as they saw that no one from Kai's group was an elf.
"You!" One of the elves present there suddenly stood up and pointed at Kai with wide an open jaw.
"Oh, hello Jiakzin." Kai said with a devilish smile as the person fell down on his seat.
The other elves looked at this scene with confusion. Jiakzin was the oldest member of the court and had been a member for more than a millennium.
They however were confused about how someone like him knew Kai who barely looked as though he was 19 years old.
"But you are supposed to be dead." The left muttered as Kai smiled and waved his hand.
"Hmm, did you think that I wouldn't leave a part of my soul behind to regain my memories?" Kai asked with a smile as Jiakzin closed his mouth.
Laofen inwardly chuckled at this as her expression remained neutral. When Kai had first come on the continent, everyone had believed that he was just a fake person trying to obtain the elven ruler's favor by trying to cure Laoxiao.
Jiakzin had been the one who had first suggested this but when Kai had actually managed to cure Laoxiao, he was asked by the elven ruler to bow down to Kai and apologize.
Laofen guessed that Jiakzin still hadn't forgotten about that incident.
"So why did you come to the royal palace?" An elf asked Kai as he turned to look at her.
"Me and my wives are here to help her majesty with the ruler of the land of lightning." Kai replied as the assembled elves were baffled by what they heard.
"You dare to say such a lie before the court and her majesty!" Another elf roared as he believed that Kai was lying.
Almost all of them were thinking the same thing since the current ruler of the land of lightning was too powerful.
Everyone except two people believed that.
"Don't say that since you will regret that later on. If he says that he can do that, then he can do it." Jiakzin said as he gritted his teeth.
The others looked at him with confusion since he was famous in the court for pointing out the flaws in anything anyone would present.
But if Jiakzin was agreeing with Kai's words, they were interested to see what he could do. Laofen on the other hand felt a warm feeling in her heart but she soon shook it aside.
'He is not doing it for you. He is probably doing it for sister's sake since he technically got her killed. Stop thinking such stupid thoughts Laofen.' Laofen chided herself mentally as she stood up and the entire room fell silent.
"I would like your help in solving this. But you have a far too large group with you. At the most, I will permit three of them to go with you to the land of lightning." Laofen said as Kai nodded.
"Watanabe, Kiana, and Levina. You three will come with me since the land of lightning has plenty of powerful lightning users. It would be a good experience for you." Kai said as he turned towards them.
They nodded as he turned to look at Laofen and gave her a small bow with a smile before he vanished with the three girls.
The others yawned as they bowed down to Laofen before going back to their assigned rooms.
The court fell silent as Laofen left too and the elves then gather around Jiakzin.
"What did you mean by the words he should be dead?"
"Why do you think that he can defeat the blessed ruler?"
They berated him with questions as he held up his hand to stop them.
"I don't believe that he can do it. I just know that he will definitely do it since he is powerful. The only other thing that I can tell you is that things will get interesting." Jiakzin said with a smile as he walked away while leaving behind a group of confused elves looking at each other
