A Day in the Life of a Noble Lady (Part 2)

The ancient Elves were born directly or indirectly from the Creation God Gaia, so their language is the closest to the Creation God Language. Even the languages of the three original gods of Earth, Sky, and Ocean, and their descendant gods, used the Elven language.

As life in the world increased, Gaia created two more gods, Death and Rebirth. They, along with the original three gods, formed the Five Creation Main Gods.

After an unknown number of years, Gaia fell into slumber and no longer responded to gods and believers. The main gods and their children ruled this land.

For unknown reasons, conflict arose among the main gods. The Earth was torn apart, the Sky was divided, the Ocean was overturned, the World Tree collapsed, countless lives perished, and the authority of the Five Creation Main Gods was scattered, falling into the hands of their children.

This ultimately led to the current situation: gods reside in the Heavenly God Kingdom, or rule the death of all spirits in the Underworld.

"What happened to the ancient Elves? There is very little information unearthed from archaeological excavations. As for the current Elves, some say they are descendants of the ancient Elves, while others say they were cultivated by the ancient Elves using World Tree seeds. Perhaps even the gods don't know, as that period of history is too distant. Even the ancient Fire God is only a third-generation god."

Mr. Noi spent a few minutes giving Lu Xing a brief history lesson.

"Teacher, are you a half-Elf? Is one of your parents an Elf?"

Lu Xing asked curiously.

"No."

The tall and thin Mr. Noi smiled and shook his head. "My mother is a half-Elf, and my maternal grandfather is also a half-Elf. According to continental tradition, as long as a person shows even a slight Elven characteristic, they can be called a half-Elf. Anne, why do you ask?"

One drop of blood principle.

This thought popped into Lu Xing's mind. He then smiled and shook his head. "I... Teacher, please forgive me, my memory is a bit confused."

The half-Elf Noi continued, "In fact, like other ancient races, pure-blooded Elves are rarely seen. They mostly reside in the God Kingdom, or in secluded corners of the continent, and will leave if disturbed. For example, the Angel Evil Dragon killed by Lady Vizes had lived deep in the Northern Region snow mountains for over a thousand years... We've strayed a bit. Let's get back to the ancient Elven language."

He began today's lesson.

Lu Xing took some time to digest the knowledge he had exchanged from the Life Exchange System and barely kept up with the pace.

His performance made Catherine, who was sitting behind him, feel strange. This mysterious person was unfamiliar with everything except the ancient Elven language?

"See you next lesson, Anne."

Noi finished organizing his lesson plan and smiled at Lu Xing. "We have five more lessons. After they are finished, I will give you a small test involving ancient Elven magic. You can prepare early."

"Goodbye, Teacher. I will."

Lu Xing maintained the demeanor of a noble lady, then stood up and performed a simple courtesy to see him off.

After Noi left, Lu Xing slumped into the chair without any regard for appearance, his head tilted back, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

Like a broken noble lady.

The expressionless maid appeared. "As a noble lady, you should not behave so rudely!"

Lu Xing waved his hand, too lazy to talk to her. Seeing the pure white gloves on his hands, he took them off and threw them to her. He wiggled his five slender fingers and said, "I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat or drink?"

Who in the world thought of wearing a small dress and gloves to class? And having to maintain proper etiquette!

Just then, a prompt popped up from the system:

You have completed an ancient Elven language class as Miss Anne, receiving a score of eighty points. You can choose the following reward: Spend fifty experience points to upgrade your ancient Elven language knowledge to intermediate level, and Anne will also gain corresponding knowledge.

Lu Xing's spirits lifted. The system, which had been silent for so long, was finally active?

There was no such prompt for Jiang Xuannv's class last time. Was it because he didn't keep up with the knowledge points from the Future World?

Regardless, fifty experience points for intermediate Ancient Elf language knowledge is still a great deal, and there will be a test later.

"Choose reward."

Lu Xing silently recited, and the system's reward quickly arrived, prompting that he would receive the corresponding knowledge after Anne returned.

Was this a benefit of them swapping lives with Lu Xing?

"Please wait a moment."

Despite her many dissatisfactions, Catherine wouldn't let Anne go hungry. She quickly brought Lu Xing a small plate of pastries and a cup of black tea.

Lu Xing asked her, "Aren't you eating? You were in class with me just now too."

Catherine glanced at him again and said indifferently, "I already ate some when I brought the pastries."

Lu Xing nodded, picked up his knife and fork, and began to enjoy the few small pastries.

After eating, Catherine reminded him, "It's time to change clothes for Alchemy class." She added, "Miss Anne loves Alchemy class the most. Remember to look happy later, don't let the teacher see through you."

"Like this?"

Lu Xing showed a smile. After the previous reward, he was even more invested in the task.

"No, your smile is very fake. It doesn't have the happy, girlish smile of Miss Anne. Your expression isn't lively enough!"

Catherine instructed him.

Lu Xing sighed, "I haven't even met Anne. How about you imitate her?"

He looked at the maid expectantly. It would be interesting to imagine this cold-faced head maid skipping and acting cute like Anne.

"..."

Catherine stared at him for a while before looking away.

Her meaning was probably: You're making things difficult for me!

"See? That's what I mean."

Lu Xing spread his hands, "No one can imitate Anne, so don't make things difficult for me either!"

"Who was it who shamelessly said he was Miss Anne?" Catherine retorted.

"Anne said it."

Lu Xing wasn't wrong; Anne had taught him to say that in her letter.

"Heh, did you also learn your shamelessness from Miss Anne?" The maid stared at him.

"Are you saying Anne is shameless?"

"No, when Miss Anne says these things, she's playful and cute. You are shameless and despicable!"

"Thank you for the compliment, double-standard maid, but you should know that baseness is the pass of the base!"

Lu Xing ended the conversation with a line of poetry, stood up, and said to the maid, "Take me to change clothes."

"Your baseness exceeds my imagination."

The tall maid with long, slender legs said this coldly, then walked over with Anne's white silk gloves, bent slightly at the waist, and carefully put the gloves on Lu Xing.

She served him with a cold face.

Lu Xing couldn't stop smiling. Ignoring her murderous gaze, he walked out of the classroom with composure.

The maids were already waiting. As he descended the steps—though there were only three—Catherine still extended her hand, guiding him down in her capacity as a maid.

The changing room was right next to them. After Lu Xing went in, the maids took off his golden dress and changed him into another outfit suitable for alchemy, a comfortable shirt, vest, and trousers, then put on a black hat to tuck away all his long golden hair, preventing accidents during alchemy.

After getting dressed, Lu Xing stood in front of the mirror. With this outfit, the beautiful and cute Anne gained a bit of mischievousness and handsomeness. Her snow-white neck was slender and graceful. Lu Xing could imagine her wearing this to go horseback riding.
