Chapter 107: Chapter 30: The Illusory Destruction Demon Eye Unleashes Its Might
[You are being affected by the Sin of Greed. The Elf of Strong Desire wants to claim you as her own. Favorability +5. Current Favorability: 110.]
?
The text of the prompt made Su Xuan’s heart skip a beat.
’What’s going on? Why is Beiya Leila’s favorability toward me so high?’
’Could it be... because of that trait?’
Just as Su Xuan was feeling puzzled, Beiya Leila’s soft, jade-like hand gently caressed his face. Her heterochromatic red and blue eyes shimmered with the glow of a mature woman’s Charm.
She said softly, "Then I’ll be in your care~ Mr. President~"
"It’s my duty," Su Xuan replied somewhat evasively. He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something strange about the way Beiya Leila was looking at him.
It was the same look she had when she looked at Fuli and Flora...
"Oh, right~"
Beiya Leila suddenly remembered something. She stood up and took a bottle of pure white liquid from a cabinet.
"What’s this?" Seeing it, Su Xuan quickly waved his hands in refusal. "No! I really can’t! It’s not appropriate for me!"
"Don’t refuse, Mr. President~ It’s good for your body’s Growth!" Beiya Leila shoved the bottle into Su Xuan’s arms, determined to give it to him.
"No, no, no! Rella, this really isn’t appropriate... is it?"
Su Xuan held the bottle, his heart filled with hesitation.
’This bottle is filled with Lady Rella’s...’
"How could it be inappropriate?" Beiya Leila asked with a smile. "This is sap from the Elf Mother Tree, unique to the Elf Race. It can cure most illnesses, and you can also mix it into tea for daily consumption to prolong your life."
"Oh, so it’s sap from the Elf Mother Tree."
Su Xuan murmured, feeling a little disappointed for some reason.
"Mama! We’re back! When can we start our bath?"
Just then, the two sisters, Fuli and Flora, returned to the wooden cabin, holding some sprigs.
Su Xuan glanced over. The sprigs looked like they had been picked from the branches of the Elf Mother Tree.
They were like new sprouts, exuding a tender aura and a faint, fresh fragrance.
"Alright, children~"
Beiya Leila smiled and nodded, then turned to Su Xuan and said, "Mr. President, I’m going to bathe the children, so I won’t keep you. Of course, if you’d like to stay and join us, I could..."
"No, no! I’ll be leaving now!"
"Well then~ See you tomorrow."
Su Xuan hurriedly left the small cabin where Beiya Leila and her daughters lived. The moment the door closed, he heard the sound of trickling water from inside.
’A fragrant mist is escaping from the cracks. It must be a paradise in there, right?’
"Time to head back to the Guild," Su Xuan said softly. The unique milky scent of Beiya Leila seemed to linger on his palm, making him smile faintly.
He had just reached the Teleportation Array and was about to activate it to leave. However, at that very moment, he sensed a figure appear behind him.
He didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.
"Can I help you, Princess Yuluxi?" Su Xuan turned around calmly and asked, looking at the Elf Race’s princess before him.
"Human, you should not interfere in the affairs of the Elf Race," Yuluxi said, stepping out of the darkness. Her voice was cold and firm.
"Oh? Are you planning to solve the problem at its source by getting rid of me?" Su Xuan retorted. He knew Yuluxi must have a reason for appearing here alone.
As he thought, Su Xuan’s gaze quickly swept over Yuluxi’s status panel.
[Yuluxi (Legendary)]
Level: 60 (?/42000)
Race: Elf
Power: ? / agility: ? / Magic Power: ? / Physique: ?
Growth: 12 (Gains 12 points to All Attributes per level up)
Skills: (Expandable)
’A Level 60 Legendary Elf?’
A glint flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes; he now had a certain understanding of Yuluxi’s combat capabilities.
Furthermore, all three princesses of the Elf Race were Legendary. One could infer that in this world, Mythical existences were undoubtedly at the very peak. Perhaps each Race only had one Mythical individual, or maybe more. But as far as is publicly known, the only Mythical figure among the Elf Race is the Elf Queen.
"The Elf Race has always been known for its Kindness. We would not use brute force against a guest who has come from afar," Yuluxi said, gently shaking her head. She added, "But to maintain harmony and peace within the race, sometimes certain forceful measures are unavoidable. Rest assured, I have no intention of taking your life. I simply hope that you will temporarily stay away from the Elf Kingdom in the coming days."
Su Xuan replied calmly, "Then how do you plan to make me leave willingly? If you intend to use Magic to imprison me, the residual Magic Power fluctuations will surely attract the attention of other Elves. When that happens, and news spreads that a princess of the Elf Kingdom secretly imprisoned an innocent human male, what do you think the Elves will think?"
"Hehehe~ You can relax." Upon hearing him, a cold smirk played on Yuluxi’s lips. "I haven’t sunk so low as to resort to imprisonment. A little trick is all it takes to make you willingly sink into oblivion..."
The moment her voice fell, a faint purple halo appeared in Yuluxi’s brownish eyes.
Immediately after, Su Xuan felt subtle fluctuations of Magic Power stealthily assail him from all directions, gradually invading his body. Accompanying these fluctuations were waves of charming and captivating voices echoing softly in his ears.
"Lose yourself in the Illusion Realm~" Yuluxi sneered, releasing her Magic Power to gradually plunge Su Xuan into a deep illusion.
In that instant, many beautiful and alluring Female Elves appeared around Su Xuan. They smiled, gently encircling him as if to push him into an endless, dream-like world where he could forget all his troubles.
Once Su Xuan was completely trapped in this Illusion Realm, he would lose all interest in the matter of Beiya and her two daughters and stop meddling. At the same time, Beiya Leila’s trial would proceed as scheduled without any interference.
However, at that very moment, Yuluxi was suddenly stunned. She discovered that she was completely unable to move, as if bound tightly by an invisible force.
"Wh-what’s going on?!" Yuluxi cried out in surprise, a look of utter disbelief on her face.
Just as Yuluxi was filled with confusion, Su Xuan’s voice gently drifted through the air.
"The ability to create an Illusion Realm? Interesting, indeed."
When Yuluxi saw that her Demon Eye was completely ineffective against Su Xuan, her own eyes filled with astonishment.
"That’s impossible! Why doesn’t it work on you?"
She struggled to break free, only to discover in horror that her body was bound tightly by several rigid threads. These threads not only restricted her movement but also suppressed her Magic Power, leaving her like a caged canary, unable to spread her wings and fly.
"Give up. You can’t break free from these threads." Su Xuan smiled and walked up to Yuluxi. His deep eyes glinted with a strange light, like a beast that had captured its prey.
Although he had the upper hand, his heart was pounding like a frightened deer.
’Damn it! Why wasn’t the Illusory Destruction Demon Eye’s counter-effect immediate?!’
’Good thing my willpower is strong, or I might have lost myself to the temptation of those Elves just now.’
Ahem~
Fortunately, Yuluxi had acted just as he’d predicted, actively using her Demon Eye and suffering from its backlash.
"What exactly did you do to me?"
Yuluxi demanded, struggling as she bit her pearly teeth.
However, Su Xuan simply pinched her chin gently.
"A princess of the Elf Race is actually a Witch. Tell me, if your people were to find out, what do you think they would do?" Su Xuan whispered, leaning close to her ear.
"You?!"
Hearing this, Yuluxi’s heart froze, and her pupils trembled slightly.
’He actually saw through my identity as a Witch?’
’How is that possible?!’
’How did this seemingly ordinary human manage it?’
To this, Su Xuan gave no answer.
’Having glowing pupils doesn’t necessarily make someone a Witch, but if they are truly countered by the Illusory Destruction Demon Eye... then they must be a Witch!’
