When Zul'ra returned to Tarecgosa and Anveena, Valeera, who had been asleep, had already awakened. She lay on the ground, her once golden hair now stubble, and parts of her scalp, the wounds on her right side of her face, shoulder, thigh, and ankle were still enveloped in green natural energy.

"I'm going to kill you." Valeera lay on the ground, her eyes filled with hatred when she saw Zul'ra. Anveena, who was standing next to her, was about to speak when Zul'ra interrupted her.

"Not bad, you still have the energy to curse me." Zul'ra didn't care about the Elves girl's hostility.

"You cut my hair." Valeera's eyes were filled with extreme hatred.

"It's already charred and clumped together." Zul'ra's face looked somewhat innocent. Although Valeera's gaze was filled with hatred and anger, she didn't actually have the urge to kill, nor did she seem to want to die or have any sense of despair.

"You cut my hair." Valeera looked at Zul'ra, and if her wounds hadn't been still healing, she would have jumped up and strangled Zul'ra.

"Don't worry! It will grow back." Zul'ra looked at the Elves girl who was only fussing over her hair.

"That's different." Valeera's voice trembled with tears, her eyes welling up.

"I mean, you only care about your hair, not your face or anything?" Zul'ra couldn't help but ask.

"Even if I'm ugly, I'm still prettier than you, but my hair won't grow back?" Valeera couldn't help but shed tears.

"Is this Sin'dorei custom?" Zul'ra was unsure of Valeera's thoughts; was she distressed about her hair or heartbroken about her disfigurement?

"Zul'ra..." Anveena looked at Valeera, who was crying, and couldn't help but speak up, telling Zul'ra to stop talking.

"I'm sorry, Valeera, I shaved your hair. I'm so sorry, but I swear I'll make it up to you. Also, I thank you for saving Anveena. Without you, I'm afraid I would have regretted it immensely." Zul'ra felt a bit like a jerk and solemnly apologized and thanked Valeera.

"No, I don't want that! Give me back my hair!" Valeera cried even harder. Anveena didn't lower her head but quietly comforted her, wiping away her tears.

"Um, did you see the Undead attacking here?" Zul'ra asked Tarecgosa, who was standing next to her, feeling a bit of a headache.

"I'll kill that bastard too! I'll hang his head on the Shepherd's Gate!" Valeera cried as she spoke, her sobs unable to conceal the hatred clenched between her teeth.

"I saw him. He's the one you fought last time. I don't know how he found me, but his new magic is very strange. I almost got burned." Tarecgosa hadn't spoken until Zul'ra spoke, and then she answered. Anveena, standing next to her, looked somber.

"It really is him." When Zul'ra saw that Tarecgosa was certain, his gaze changed slightly. He turned to look at Anveena. He only remembered one Undead with Elves appearance. It was the one who had used concentrated firepower to make him run away with his head in his hands in Anveena's hometown. It was also at that time that he encountered Tarecgosa and Anveena.

"That Undead came looking for me." Anveena felt sad and guilty. The last time Zul'ra fought that Elves Undead was in her hometown, and this Undead was also to find her. She felt like a jinx, bringing bad luck wherever she went.

"So you must kill him, Trolls. If you can kill that guy, I'll forgive you." Valeera wiped away her tears and spoke solemnly to Zul'ra.

"Since you've said so, that guy definitely has to be taken care of." Zul'ra looked at Valeera, who had interrupted her, and answered very naturally.

"Zul'ra..." Anveena started to speak, but was interrupted by Valeera's cry of pain as she lay there, while Tarecgosa turned her head to look at her.

"Alright, stop pretending. I've known Anveena's identity for a long time." Zul'ra glanced at Valeera, who was putting on an act, and couldn't help but look at her sideways. This girl had been kidnapped by Tarecgosa. At first, she was a little resentful and wanted to escape, but later she backed down and even tried her best to protect Anveena. It seemed that she knew her identity.

Upon hearing Zul'ra's words, Valeera, who had been crying out in pain, froze. Tarecgosa had been turning her head away, and Anveena, who felt a little guilty, couldn't help but look at him with surprise in their eyes.

"What is Anveena's identity?" Valeera paused for a moment, trying to make amends with her superb acting skills, but Anveena immediately exposed her mistake.

"When did you find out?" Anveena was initially taken aback, then thought about the situation repeatedly. She remembered that Krasus had avoided talking to Zul'ra when they first spoke, and she hadn't told him about it since. So how did he find out?

"Prophecy." Zul'ra instantly found an excuse for herself.

Zul'ra already knew Anveena's identity as the Sunwell avatar from the storyline, but due to certain circumstances, neither Tarecgosa nor Anveena told him, and he had no opportunity to express it. Now that they were facing this matter, it was a good time to talk about it.

"I hate magic." Valeera looked at the calm Zul'ra, seeing that he had no evil intentions, and simply uttered a sentence expressing the violation of magic.

"Zul'ra, we didn't mean to hide it from you." Unlike Valeera's complaints, Tarecgosa wanted to defend herself.

"It's alright, it's a small matter. After all, Anveena does have a different meaning for them. On the contrary, it's me who made sure Anveena stayed in Amani that gives the impression that I had ulterior motives." Zul'ra shook her head with a smile. Anveena's identity was indeed somewhat different for Amani, and it was actually right to keep it a secret.

"What if Anveena were to return to Silvermoon City?" Valeera asked tentatively, somewhat surprised by Zul'ra's considerate words. Anveena was the embodiment of the Sunwell; if she returned to Quel'Thalas, it meant the Sunwell would reappear, and would the Amani simply stand by and watch the Sin'dorei rise to power again?

"I'm not going." Anveena rejected Valeera's words without waiting for Zul'ra to speak.

"You heard that. All you need to do in this matter is take Anveena's opinion into account and ensure her safety. I won't say anything else. On the contrary, it's you..." Zul'ra looked at the very considerate Anveena and couldn't help but smile as she spoke to Valeera.

"Anveena holds a very different meaning for you. How did you figure out her identity?" Zul'ra's smile contained a hint of inquiry. Anveena was a living being, not just an energy cell. The Sin'dorei's desire for her was probably not small.

"I was the one who told you." Tarecgosa a little embarrassed. Valeera had only noticed something different about Anveena, but it was Terrigosa who revealed the truth.

"Oh..." Zul'ra glanced at Tarecgosa, but her eyes remained fixed on Valeera, drawing out her words with a strange undertone.

"Tch, stop being sarcastic. Anveena is Anveena. I don't know anything else. And stop staring at me. Remember, you need to return my hair as soon as possible." Valeera rolled her eyes at Zul'ra's strange look, then let out a disdainful sound, indicating that she would keep Anveena's identity a secret, and incidentally reminding Zul'ra not to forget her contributions.

"Don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible." Zul'ra looked at the proud girl and couldn't help but smile, while silently considering that Anveena's identity was also a problem.

There's nothing left at night.
