Chapter 168.1: What a Greedy Little Fellow ? (1)

Moonlight Queen's study.

After sending off the Great Teacher, Rayne finally welcomed a short period of peace.

Not long after, a guest visited him.

It was the Tragic Moon Queen.

It was no longer the true body of the Tragic Moon Queen visiting Rayne today; her body was severely injured and she had already returned to her coffin to rest.

What appeared in front of Rayne today was a complete corporeal body of the Tragic Moon Queen summoned by Alice.

To be precise, the Tragic Moon Queen was the one who summoned herself.

She constructed a complete corporeal body through Alice to come and meet Rayne.

As the designer of the Moonlight Queen system, it was still relatively simple for her to execute such a small matter.

Unlike ordinary corporeal bodies, the complete corporeal bodies of the late queens were pure bodies of flesh and blood.

The bodies of the summoned late queens were selected from the peak of their lives.

Similarly, that was also when they were the most... beautiful.

Of course, neither of the two conditions had any additional effect on the Tragic Moon Queen.

She was a goddess.

From birth to death, her body would always be perfect and dazzling.

Rayne asked, "Your Majesty, why are you looking for me?"

Today, the Tragic Moon Queen had an extremely amiable attitude. "That ten minutes previously was way too short. Let's clarify things today."

Rayne smiled kindly. "Please guide me."

There was something that Rayne had yet to explain to Alice.

And that was what exactly happened in the ten minutes the Tragic Moon Queen arrived before Rayne after Alice was severely injured.

In reality, there was no armed conflict between Rayne and the Tragic Moon Queen at that time. The ruins that Alice saw at that time were all one of the illusions that Rayne deliberately created to stimulate Alice's potential.

The Tragic Moon Queen was no longer the Moonlight of the past. She was in an extremely poor state and her strength was greatly weakened. While she could kill ordinary demigods indiscriminately, there was no way she could defeat the Great Teacher.

Therefore, if Tragic Moon Queen had fought Rayne back then, she would definitely be the one beaten up.

However, what was the use of beating up the Tragic Moon Queen?

She was the goddess of the elves and maintained the tombs of the queens. Furthermore, she carried the final imprint that Alice needed.

There were no benefits to beating her up. If he accidentally killed her, the entire Moonlight Queen system would be paralyzed.

In that case, Rayne's nurturing plan would go bankrupt.

Therefore, Rayne negotiated with the Tragic Moon Queen and set up a bet with her.

The bet was whether Alice could defeat the all-out Tragic Moon Queen.

If Rayne lost, he would sever all ties with Alice and release that simp.

If Tragic Moon lost, she would give Alice her soul imprint and be a tool obediently.

Actually, persuading the Tragic Moon Queen to join this bet was not difficult.

That was because the most objective fact right now was that both Tragic Moon and Leta could not do without Alice.

It was impossible for Tragic Moon to kill Alice; she did not actually lose her rationality out of anger due to Alice's rebellion.

She knew best how much of the wrath and killing intent she displayed was true and how much of it was meant to scare the child.

Of course, she still hated Rayne Haines and was wary of him.

However, after seeing Rayne with her own eyes and exchanging a few words with him, the Tragic Moon Queen felt that this mortal… seemed rather cute.

Rayne was extraordinarily eloquent and glib with his tongue. Furthermore, he was indeed handsome.

That was especially the case for those eyes blessed by the evil gods. Although they were dirty, they were indeed lustful.

The Tragic Moon Queen did not dislike them.

With the addition of various other conditions, it was extremely simple to persuade the Tragic Moon Queen.

The difficult part was defeating her.

However, in the end, Alice did not disappoint Rayne and created a miracle.

At that moment, his work in the Leta palace came to an end.

Furthermore, even if Alice had lost at that time, Rayne had a second plan.

There was no need to fall out with the Tragic Moon Queen. All he had to do was call for Edaline and Constance to save him and bring him and Alice back to Haines.

Alice was the only Moonlight Queen in Leta with potential.

Right now, Order was silent and Compassion was up to something. In such a dangerous situation, if Leta did not even have an Empress who could take charge of the overall situation, she could only wait for death.

As long as Alice was alive…

Sooner or later, Tragic Moon would have to cry and beg Alice to go back and inherit the throne.

Tragic Moon understood that logic as well.

Unfortunately, Alice was way too stubborn and refused to back down in the face of love.

Finally, Rayne and the Tragic Moon Queen reached an agreement.

Alice's personality was not the best for undertaking huge responsibilities.

However, if she was talented enough, perhaps she could produce extraordinary results even if she took the wrong path?

With the pros and cons laid out before her, in addition to Rayne blinking his bewitching dragon eyes innocently while persuading incessantly...

Finally, the Tragic Moon Queen decided to compromise.

As long as Alice could defeat her, she would let bygones be bygones and turn a blind eye to Alice in the future.

As long as she was still willing to be the Moonlight Queen and lead Leta against Compassion, the Tragic Moon Queen would assist her with all her might.

The Tragic Moon Queen sighed helplessly. "Alice defeated me. Her potential has already exceeded my imagination. I'm willing to give in to such a talent. However, Rayne, there are some things that I hope you can clarify with me so that I can hand Alice over to you in peace."

Rayne nodded solemnly. "I'll definitely be honest."

The Tragic Moon Queen smiled. "There's no need to be so serious. I just want to know something. Can you tell me why you want Alice?"

Rayne smiled bitterly. "Where should I start… By the way, Your Majesty, I think you should already know about Goddess Order's recent actions, right?"

The Tragic Moon Queen was a little surprised. "You know about it too?"

"Yes."

Rayne asked with a smile, "Your Majesty Tragic Moon, please think about it carefully. The value of Haines existing is to be a tool of Goddess Order in the mortal world and help her adjust the balance of the mortal world. If she were to descend to the mortal world personally, would she still need us?"

The Tragic Moon Queen said, "Not for the time being, but she would eventually return to the upper world's God Realm."

Rayne said, "And if she can no longer return? I'm saying, if she feels that there's going to be a huge battle that even she won't have a chance of winning, so she decides to resort to any means, disregarding sacrifices and carrying out some crazy plans in the mortal world… will she still care about the safety of the Haines people?"

Rayne said solemnly, "At that time, both Haines and Leta will be in the same danger, especially in the face of other crises. The mortal world is very fragile and the strength of mortals is equally weak. That's why we have to join forces and protect each other."
