Chapter 59

As Gao Dun and Xuelaiya approached, they found that the trunk of the oak tree was so large that three people couldn't encircle it together.

"At least three hundred years old," Xuelaiya said. She had lived in the forest for a long time with her elven mother during her childhood, so she was very familiar with this type of tree, which the elves planted in large numbers.

Gao Dun gently touched the surface of the oak tree and found it to be abnormally smooth, without the dry and rough texture of a hundred-year-old tree.

Xuelaiya, looking at the golden tree, said, "This is the Golden Leaf Oak, the sacred tree of the Sun Elves."

The oak tree is the tree of the druids, the symbol of the god of nature, and the elves also like to plant it in large quantities. However, compared to ordinary oaks, only the precious Golden Leaf Oak could be called a "sacred tree" by the Sun Elves.

The leaves of this oak tree are green, but the leaf stems naturally emit a soft, pale golden glow. Therefore, no matter what the weather, the Golden Leaf Oak always seems to be bathed in bright sunlight. It is said that each of its leaves has been blessed by the god of nature. If an elven child wears an amulet made from a Golden Leaf Oak leaf during their growth, they will be healthy and safe.

Gao Dun noticed a wooden sign at the base of the oak tree, which read in elegant, wavy elven script: "Only the pure blood of Omaren can make the fruit fall."

"Omaren again?" This was the second time Gao Dun had seen this word. A person's name? Probably not. A race? A group? A country? A family?

There were too many possibilities. The history of the elves is much older and longer than that of humans, and most of the records were taken back to the Eternal Island during the great retreat of the elves. It is extremely difficult for historians on the continent to study the complex history of the elves.

Gao Dun looked at the beautiful and radiant tree and smiled, "Xuelaiya, do you want me to pick a leaf for you?"

"No... no need."

Her voice seemed a bit off.

Gao Dun turned his head and saw that the half-elf girl's cheeks were flushed, her breathing rapid, and her body seemed to be losing strength, as if she could hardly stand. Her long, white legs were tightly clasped together, constantly rubbing and grinding against each other.

The girl's allure made a flame rise in Gao Dun's abdomen. "What... what's wrong with you?"

"Lilaya's divine power has flared up again," Xuelaiya finally couldn't hold back and pounced into Gao Dun's arms.

The physiological instincts suppressed by the mechanical mind potion were now rebounding strongly. The girl wriggled in Gao Dun's arms, as if trying to relieve her desire through the friction of their skin. She let out a stifled moan, like a kitten seeking its owner's affection.

Gao Dun found his desire rising exponentially. The girl's dress, which she had prepared for the party tonight, was light and short. When they pressed together, Gao Dun could directly feel her soft, smooth, and sweaty skin, which was burning hot against his own.

Xuelaiya's two elastic mounds were compressed into exaggerated shapes, as if they were about to overflow between their bodies.

"Kiss me." Unlike her usual shyness, Xuelaiya tiptoed and reached out her arms to pull Gao Dun's neck toward her.

How could Gao Dun refuse the invitation of a beautiful girl?

He leaned down and gently bit the girl's soft, moist lips, his hands skillfully embracing her slender waist, then began to explore up and down.

To be honest, in their previous intimate moments, the two had only hugged and touched, and had never truly kissed. From the girl's inexperienced reaction, it could be inferred that this was her first kiss.

Gao Dun's tongue pried open her teeth, entered Xuelaiya's mouth, and greedily sucked on the sweet saliva, making her little tongue dance and flip.

Xuelaiya clumsily responded to Gao Dun, the dizziness she felt making it hard for her to breathe.

After a long time of entangled lips and tongues, they reluctantly parted, a sticky, transparent thread connecting their lips like a lotus thread.

"How was it, did you feel good?" Gao Dun asked with a smile, but his hands didn't stop, continuing to enjoy the beauty of the girl's buttocks and soft chest.

"I... I don't know..." Xuelaiya's voice was soft and ethereal, as if she were in a beautiful dream.

"Then let's continue." Gao Dun lifted the hem of her dress, and Xuelaiya cooperatively raised her hands, allowing her lover to take off her dress.

Gao Dun continued, unbuttoning her bra with one hand, freeing Xuelaiya's proud, supple breasts into the air.

"You're already very wet," Gao Dun teased, using his tongue and teeth to tease her pink nipples while caressing between her legs.

The invasion of her private area made the girl cling tightly to Gao Dun. She closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly, unsure of what to do.

Gao Dun gently laid Xuelaiya on the grass. The small, soft grass under the Golden Leaf Oak was like the finest blanket, not hurting her delicate skin.

He removed her last barrier, then spread her long, sensitive, and occasionally spasming white legs, and pressed down.

"Gao Dun, take me." Xuelaiya wrapped her arms around her lover's neck, her teeth lightly biting her lip, uttering words that drove men mad.

Gao Dun nodded, thrusting forward, breaking through a tight barrier, and finally entering the tight, wet, warm, and wonderful place.

Xuelaiya let out a muffled groan, her face showing pain, her legs involuntarily wrapping around Gao Dun's waist, her round, white toes tightly tensed.

"Does it hurt?" Gao Dun asked softly, then leaned down to kiss her lips. After a while, when Xuelaiya's pained expression disappeared, he continued his movements...

This was Gao Dun's first time in this world. Perhaps because he had been abstinent for a long time, when faced with a table full of delicious food, he couldn't help but indulge.

Whether it was due to Lilaya's divine power or some other reason, Gao Dun couldn't remember how many times he had changed positions or released his essence, or how much time had passed.

In the quiet greenhouse, only their panting could be heard, and after a long time, it finally quieted down.

Xuelaiya nestled in Gao Dun's arms, her delicate hand drawing circles on his chest. Gao Dun caught her hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"I'm an adventurer, after all. I've had injuries that hurt more than this, so it's fine," Xuelaiya shook her head, a shy smile on her face. She then changed her position, resting her head on Gao Dun's chest.

"Gao Dun, I like you," the girl looked up, staring straight at Gao Dun.

"Uh, I know."

"I really like you," she emphasized, "Do you think I'm a vulgar, materialistic, and bad girl?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because," Xuelaiya said softly, "you are a noble, a promising young mage. And I am just an ordinary adventurer."

Gao Dun kissed her cheek and smiled, "Seeking the safety of being protected by strong power and the comfort of a life supported by abundant material wealth is a woman's natural right. And in my view, power, strength, and money are part of a man's charm. It's normal for women to be attracted to them. Of course, the degree of this attraction needs to be controlled. Pure love without a worldly foundation is like a castle in the air, unable to last. And a relationship based solely on material desires is like a soulless zombie, quickly decaying."

"Besides," Gao Dun added, "you genuinely like me, don't you? If you were just seeking a better life, wouldn't you have chosen to be with Koyan? His family's conditions are much better than mine."

"Yes. When we first met in the Dwarven workshop, I liked you. I thought that a brother who would devote all his energy to crafting a sword as a gift for his sister must be a gentle and considerate man. He wouldn't treat his woman any worse than his sister."

Gao Dun laughed, "Don't call me a 'sister-lover.' Well, although my sister is indeed very cute."

"Sister-lover?" Xuelaiya was half-understanding.

"Never mind, let's not talk about that." Gao Dun lightly kissed the girl's lips, "I like you, and you like me. Isn't that enough?"

Xuelaiya nodded, giggling, "Well, even for the sake of delicious ice cream, I'll stick to you for life."

After a long while of intimacy, they slowly stood up. Seeing the faint red stain on the green grass, Gao Dun smiled, while Xuelai blushed.

After dressing, they were about to leave when the Golden Leaf Oak suddenly burst into brilliant light. Gao Dun looked up and saw that two fruits were rapidly growing and ripening at the tip of the thickest branch.

Thud~ Thud~

Two fist-sized golden acorns fell onto the soft grass. Unable to resist his curiosity, Gao Dun picked up the fruits and held them in his hands. The golden light faded, revealing the true appearance of the acorns.

The fruit stems were funnel-shaped, covered with rough particles that wrapped around half of the fruit, and the shell was a light green with a pale golden hue, emitting a magical glow under the greenhouse lights.

"These are Golden Acorns!" Xuelaiya's mouth opened in surprise, unable to believe what she saw. "In elven legend, these are magical fruits that can strengthen the body and cure diseases when eaten! On the black market, a Golden Leaf Acorn can sell for ten thousand gold coins!"

Gao Dun played with the precious fruit in his hands.

In "The Elder Era," in the Supreme Garden of the Moon Elves' capital, Silver City, there was a five-thousand-year-old Emerald Oak that also bore similar fruits. He remembered that during the fruit's ripening period, countless wanderers flooded into Silver City, trying to steal the precious acorns. The result was that the city's prisons were overflowing with failed thieves, forcing the Silver City Lord to seek help from neighboring cities to alleviate the pressure.
