The Queen of Water Elements was a kind god. Before parting, Sui Xiong told her that he wanted to buy some water element hearts. She agreed and promised that she would send the hearts to the sanctuary as soon as possible. However, she didn’t mention the price.

This made Sui Xiong worried, so he hurriedly asked what he should pay.

“I don’t need anything,” the Queen of Water Elements said with a smile. “Don’t underestimate an old woman who is even older than the Ring of the World. My wealth is beyond your imagination.”

“No matter what, they are very precious,” Sui Xiong responded.

“They’re precious to you,” the Queen of Water Elements said indifferently. “For me, there is nothing ‘precious’ in this world.”

Sui Xiong agreed. This was like Bill Gates deciding to give others a million dollars. For ordinary people, the price of their houses was constantly rising, but their houses were unsellable when it was necessary. If they deducted their houses, their assets wouldn’t be as much as a million. However, for Bill Gates, a million was really not a worthy topic. Maybe his income for one day was more than this number.

Therefore, Sui Xiong sighed, and he could only sigh.

After sighing, he secretly remembered this favor, hoping that he could have a chance to repay.

Although, he couldn’t think of any way to pay it back.

Generally, the reaction of Water Elements was a bit slow. In the Four Elements, water elements were just a little bit faster than earth elements that were sleeping all year round. However, the efficiency of the Queen of Water Elements was not slow at all. After Sui Xiong left for a short while, her messenger had already visited the sanctuary of the God’s Kingdom of Sui Xiong. Sui Xiong even had no time to contact Ariel and talk about this matter in detail.

It was interesting that the messenger was not a water element, but a jellyfish in the Legendary Realm.

This jellyfish was qualified as a messenger, so his wisdom was naturally high. He was very curious about and admired the world’s most famous and powerful Jellyfish God, so his words were extremely humble. Sui Xiong suspected that if Sui Xiong was more gracious and more polite, that jellyfish might hug his thigh and cry. That jellyfish might say, “We jellyfish look forward to your appearance. We have been looking forward to it for so long.”

Alas! It seemed that he had read about such a scene in some historical novels.

However, after all, that jellyfish was the messenger of the Queen of Water Elements. It was no doubt that he was loyal to the Queen of Water Elements. After some sighs and greetings, he was still reluctant to leave, leaving a gift that made Sui Xiong feel thorny.

It was a box that was big enough to allow a small kid to curl up his body in it. Several layers were stacked inside, and all of them were gemstones of the same kind with a blue radiance. Each gemstone had a breath of water. With so many gemstones gathering, not only did the surrounding area shine blue, but also, the air was filled with the breath of water. Sui Xiong even heard the sound of waves clearly.

He certainly recognized those things. They were water element hearts.

A box of water element hearts. A large box of water element hearts!

After being silent for a moment, he asked, sighing deeply, “How can I pay for this favor?”

After sighing, he contacted Ariel.

“I found some water element hearts.”

“Oh? We also found a lot. How many pieces have you found?”

“A box.”

“Sorry, I don’t quite understand your quantifier. Why do you use ‘box’ instead of ‘piece’ to count them? Don’t you find something wrong with that?”

“In short, you will know when you come to see them,” Sui Xiong said weakly. “Ask them all to come back. I think the number should be enough.”

After a while, Ariel’s avatar, a mermaid that was always surrounded by clear water, went to the sanctuary.

When she saw the box of water element hearts, her facial expression was “wonderful.”

After a moment of silence, she asked, screaming, “Sir, what did you do? Which God’s Kingdom have you robbed?”

“Don’t describe your teacher as a robber. Moreover, what place do you think can be wealthy enough for me to rob of so many water element hearts?”

Ariel thought for a moment, and she shook her head. Then, she understood, and her eyes widened.

“You... you robbed the eldest of the gods, right?” She looked at him with incredulity. “God! I only asked you to help collect some water element hearts, but I didn’t ask you to do this! You... This... this... this is too exaggerated!”

Sui Xiong naturally knew that the ‘eldest one of the gods’ referred to the Queen of Water Elements. In the past, he had always thought that the Queen of Water Elements was just an ancient god like the Goddess of Life. It turned out that she was a super elder who was even older than the Big Circulation. She was a powerful god who had been living from the previous era before the creation of this world.

Therefore, he shook his head, smiling. “I’m not as great as your imagination. The Queen of Water Elements is powerful. How could I rob her?”

“Then where do these come from? Except for the treasure house of the God’s Kingdom of Her Majesty, I really can’t think of any place where there are so many water element hearts.”

“She gave these to me.” Sui Xiong gave her a concise and comprehensive answer.

Ariel couldn’t believe it. She said, shaking her head again and again, “I am talking to you seriously. Don’t always joke, please.”

Sui Xiong was speechless. He said with a bitter smile, “I am not kidding. This is really a gift from the Queen of Water Elements.”

“Does Her Majesty have a good relationship with you? Why did she give you such a precious gift?” Ariel asked with unbelief. “Why doesn’t she give me a gift?”

“How would I know?” Sui Xiong said, sighing. “But this is indeed a gift from her. Her messenger just left. Many people here have seen the messenger.”

Ariel frowned, looking at Sui Xiong left and right, up and down, and that made him feel very uncomfortable.

After a while, she curiously asked, “I have heard a rumor. It is said that in the past, the God of Virtue disappeared into the sea. Perhaps, he became something that lives in the water.”

Sui Xiong was confused, and then he understood what she meant. He said, shaking his head repeatedly, “What are you thinking? I am not the God of Virtue.”

“Besides the God of Virtue, I can’t think of anyone who could have such a big honor.”

“I just know that I have a lot of honor,” Sui Xiong said with a bitter smile. “In short, this many water element hearts should be enough for you to use, right?”

“It’s enough, more than enough.” Ariel’s gaze swept inside the box. She reached out, and about a dozen water element hearts flew up. One of them was an especially deep blue, revealing a fascinating beauty that was very different from the others.

“These are enough,” she said. “These, together with the previous collection, are not only enough to build a condensed pool of Water Elements, but also enough to raise its scale to a higher level. With the rest in the box, the pool can be raised several levels higher. However, considering the balance of the entire God’s Kingdom, that is already the limit.”

“What should we do with the rest?” Sui Xiong asked. “Should I give them back?”

“You don’t have to. I don’t think Her Majesty, the Queen of Water Elements cares much. You may keep them. Maybe sometime you’ll need them.” After putting away the water element hearts, Ariel thanked Sui Xiong and hurried away.

She was busy with building the condensed pool of Water Elements.

Seeing that Ariel left, and then looking at the box of water element hearts that was hardly reduced, Sui Xiong was silent for a long time and sighed deeply.

He always felt that he was under so much pressure!
