Lu Xing strolled through the garden of the Duke's Castle.

He easily noticed that this castle in the Northern Region, bordering the Beastmen, also served a military function. The walls were built high, the castle grounds were vast, and many low-lying houses remained beneath the walls.

Why did he say "remained"?

Because the windows and doorframes of those low houses were mostly damaged, some even collapsed, indicating they were uninhabited.

But this also showed that the castle hadn't experienced war for a long time.

Correspondingly, the Duke's family's living area had become very spacious. The garden was not only large and exquisite, filled with flowers and greenery everywhere, but also contained many useless things:

A fountain with angel statues, armor standing among the flower beds, and even a small maze about a hundred square meters with shrubs over half a meter tall. Could it be something Anne played in when she was little?

As Lu Xing passed by, the gardeners working in the garden kept their distance. He walked into the flowers, bent down, and sniffed a flower that didn't exist on Earth.

At this moment, a maid's voice came from behind him:

"Disturbing and despicable soul, what are you doing?"

Lu Xing turned to look. It was Catherine. She walked over with a calm expression, her long black legs moving alternately, her high heels clicking on the stone slabs.

Several maids followed behind her, as well as a gorgeously decorated carriage pulled by a white horse.

"Smelling the flowers, what's wrong?" Lu Xing said calmly, then asked, "Where is the place for class? Take me there. Also, what does 'disturbing' mean?"

"Literal meaning."

Catherine was in a bad mood. After the Duke and Duchess questioned her just now, they were both worried about the mysterious soul before them. Upon learning he was a man, they exchanged glances.

Although Catherine didn't describe the detailed process of changing clothes, the Duke and Duchess could certainly imagine that their precious daughter had been defiled by this despicable soul with his eyes!

Lu Xing said, "Actually, you've all misunderstood me."

Catherine looked at his soft and slender shoulders with sharp eyes and warned, "Don't use Miss Anne's body to do such rude gentlemanly actions!"

Lu Xing took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and didn't bother arguing with the maid. He smiled and said, "Yes~, my dear, nagging, and lying Catherine, can you take me to class now?"

Catherine's heart trembled.

She knew he wasn't Anne.

But his voice was Miss Anne's, and he deliberately spoke in that tone, almost like Anne was acting spoiled in front of her.

Especially that phrase, "nagging and lying Catherine," how could he use Anne's tone?

"Disgusting."

Catherine said in a low voice, but her fair hand reached out to Lu Xing, bending slightly at the waist.

Saying "disgusting" while coming to serve me, are you saying one thing but doing another?

Lu Xing rolled his eyes, raised Anne's small hand wearing white silk gloves, placed it on her palm, and was guided by the maid into the carriage.

The snow-white steed pulled the magnificent carriage, weaving through the dreamlike castle garden.

The noble lady in a golden dress sat inside the carriage, leisurely admiring the garden scenery. Several maids followed behind the carriage. In the morning sun, it was like an oil painting.

The carriage circled half of the castle and arrived in front of a house. A tall, slender figure in a proper dress suit was already waiting there, admiring the garden. Upon seeing the carriage, he turned and walked over, bowing slightly in greeting.

"You should get out of the carriage immediately and return Teacher Noi's greeting," the maid reminded in a low voice.

"Got it."

The noble young lady in the golden dress stepped out of the carriage, took two steps forward, then stepped back with her left foot, keeping her upper body still. She lifted the hem of her skirt, bent her knees, and performed a noble lady's curtsy towards the Elf teacher, her voice soft and tender:

"Good day, Teacher Noi."

"Good day, esteemed Miss Anne. The Holy Light Goddess is watching over you."

The half-elf Noi Asa smiled and returned the greeting, praising, "Anne is dressed so elegantly and beautifully today. I think even true Elves would be captivated by your beauty!"

"You should thank him for the compliment," the maid's teaching voice was very low.

The beautiful noble young lady smiled and replied, "Thank you for your praise, Teacher Noi. Your attire is also elegant and appropriate, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze."

Noi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Anne, you used a very rare word in the Ancient Elven Language. It seems you listened carefully in the last class. Let's go in and begin today's lesson."

The noble young lady Anne, who was currently Lu Xing, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said, Of course! I spent fifty experience points to exchange for basic knowledge of Ancient Elven Language, just so I could pass today smoothly!

He was really putting in the effort to successfully play the role of Anne.

The two, along with the head maid Catherine, walked into the house. This was a house specially built for Anne's lessons, filled with furnishings related to the courses, such as bookshelves, desks, and blackboards. On the other side was an Alchemy room. After the Ancient Elven Language class, they would immediately go to learn Alchemy.

Lu Xing, dressed in a small golden dress, elegant and beautiful, sat in the only student seat. Catherine sat behind him to observe. Before leaving, she specifically instructed him, "You must concentrate on the lesson. Miss Anne never gets distracted during class. Also, if Teacher Noi asks you a question, stand up and say you forgot. Do not stammer or be vague. A Duke's daughter must be generous and proper."

Lu Xing was too lazy to answer her.

Because he suspected that Anne couldn't even do these things!

The lesson quickly began.

Noi, who was speaking, first wrote a few symbols before turning to Lu Xing and saying, "Last class we talked about—"

"Teacher Noi."

Lu Xing raised his hand.

Catherine behind him was startled. The class had just started, what was he going to do now?!

"Please speak, Anne," Noi motioned to him.

Lu Xing made an embarrassed expression: "Teacher Noi, I've forgotten some of the previous lessons. Could you please take a few minutes to review the history of the Ancient Elves and the characteristics of their writing?"

Noi thought for a moment and quickly agreed, "Taking some time to review might help students start the new lesson better. This is a good suggestion. Alright, Anne, let's briefly review the history."

Lu Xing sat upright in his seat.

When it came to completing tasks, he was a professional.

After all, in computer games, he had completed countless quests, including difficult ones like "Flying Fish and Swimming Fish" and "Battle Mage Class Change." How could playing the role of a noble young lady for a day be difficult?

"We know that in ancient myths and legends, our world was born in a void. The Creator God Gaia first created the boundless sea, then created the vast sky. The land was born from the union of the sea and the sky..."

Lu Xing knew that ancient myths were inevitably related to reproduction, which was normal.

"...After facing the empty world alone for many years, Gaia decided to create some life to make the world prosperous.

The World Tree was thus born. It is said that the original World Tree had its trunk standing on the ground, its branches and leaves reaching into the sky, and its roots extending to the deepest part of the sea. Countless living beings were born from it."

"Including the Ancient Elves?"

Lu Xing asked.

"No, Anne, you remembered incorrectly. The Ancient Elves were created after Gaia saw the many lives on the World Tree and felt joy. The breath He exhaled, the wind generated by His actions, and the loud and beautiful sound of His voice when He spoke, transformed into individual lives. These are the Ancient Elves!"

Lu Xing nodded, treating it as a story. Pangu's flesh and blood also transformed into many races; even a pool of dirty blood almost became a saint.
