“My nephew? How did you know?” Liao Ning looked at her in disbelief.

The woman nodded slightly. “His name is Liao Nai, right? I heard your conversation.”

Liao Ning’s astonishment grew even more. She had assumed that the elves would lack consciousness while in hibernation, but this woman seemed to possess awareness.

The woman rose slowly, her movements stiff from being bedridden for an extended period.

She retracted her wings, causing them to shrink and vanish.

“So, you awakened me because you were under threat?” The woman regarded Liao Ning with an emotionless gaze.

“Not entirely due to a threat from the Elder Prince, but because my nephew was kidnapped by her daughter.” Liao Ning gestured towards the unconscious Liao

The woman lowered her head, pondering for a moment. Then she inquired, “Do you have an escape plan?”

“I have a way to escape by myself,” Liao Ning replied, spreading her hands helplessly. “But I can’t bring you along.”

Liao Ning had no intention of revealing the full situation to an unfamiliar elf. However, since the woman overheard her conversation with the Elder Prince, there was no need to conceal anything. However, the woman stated, “I have a method to facilitate your escape.”

Liao Ning stared at her incredulously. “What?”

The woman repeated, “I can help you escape. If you can awaken her, you can bring her along as well.”

Observing Liao Ning’s disbelief, the woman offered an explanation. “I can always elude capture, but I have nowhere to hide, and I will eventually be apprehended. If I help you escape, you must assist me in finding the

Multi-Feather Butterfly to conceal my identity.”

Liao Ning fell silent, needing time to process the events of the day.

After a while, she inquired, “Who are you? What were you doing in the dungeon? Are you truly an elder of the elves?”

Upon hearing the question, the woman immediately began to explain her story.

Her name was Lili, a descendant of both the elves and the butterfly lineage. Lili possessed exceptional talent in pharmaceutics, and thus, when the empire formed an alliance with the elves, she was chosen to represent them in the empire.

Lili had two unique abilities. First, her butterfly wings could emit a subtle sound wave that had a compelling effect on creatures, causing them to follow her commands. This granted her a prominent position among the elves, though she always kept her wings hidden to protect her secret ability.

“It seems our connection was destined for trouble. Once, while bathing in a hot spring, I accidentally revealed my wings to the Elder Prince. At that time, I believed him to be a trustworthy individual, and he assured me that he would keep my secret. I considered him my closest friend within the empire, but how wrong I was! He turned out to be a despicable person!”

Lili’s face contorted with anger as she finally showed her emotions. Her eyes burned with fury. “I thought he genuinely cared for me and respected the elders of the elves, but in reality, he sought to exploit the abilities of both the elves and the insectoids!”

Initially, the Elder Prince managed to maintain his composure while gradually approaching Lili. However, she soon discovered that the royal family and nobles were using the elves as captives to create potions, and even beautiful elves and mermaids were being treated as mere playthings.

Just as Lili was preparing to escape with the elves, the Elder Prince revealed his true intentions.

“He professed his love for me, but his true motive was for me to bear his child, a child who would possess the combined abilities of the elves and the Zergs, enabling him to ascend the throne!”

Lili’s eyes turned bloodshot, and she clenched her fists tightly. Liao Ning could sense the intense anger and despair radiating from her as she recounted her tale.

“So, you were forced into hibernation?” Liao Ning asked, seeking clarification.

“Yes,” Lili replied bitterly. “I pretended to agree to his proposal, leading him to release the elves who accompanied me. Then, he forced me into a state of hibernation using a poisonous flower. Being part-insect, entering hibernation renders me unable to conceive, let alone bear a child for such a shameless individual!”

A heavy silence fell between them, enveloped in the weight of their shared struggle.

Liao Ning turned to Liao Xi who was motionless, asking, “If I can wake her up, how can you escape?”

At this moment, Lili showed a smile and her translucent wings spread out from her body. “With my superpower, of course..”
