Chapter 23: (Danger)
Luo Yuxi looked at Sybil’s mischievous expression, sensing something ominous. She gently pushed Sybil away. After all, Natalie was lying right there. What if Sybil suddenly awakened her “hidden desires” and decided to “ravage” Luo Yuxi right in front of her sister?
“Move aside! I don’t want to be misunderstood!”
Sybil, hearing the slight disgust in Luo Yuxi’s voice, withdrew her hand, feeling a pang of disappointment.
“I understand, I wasn’t going to do anything to you~ Since you’re so resistant, I won’t~”
Sybil stepped back, looked at Natalie lying on the bed, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel. Then, she sat down on a chair, relieved. Luo Yuxi looked at Natalie.
[Natalie]
Occupation: Alchemist (Mythical Species)
Affiliation: Elven Forest
Skills: ???
Title:
Affection: 35%
Order Level: 11th Order
“Don’t you have anything you want to ask me…?”
Sybil’s voice interrupted Luo Yuxi’s thoughts. Sybil had been prepared for Luo Yuxi to question her identity, but not only did she not ask anything, she kept staring at Natalie. Sybil felt a strange discomfort.
“Ask you? What is there to ask?”
Sybil felt a surge of anger. Luo Yuxi’s words were like saying, “Your affairs are none of my business.” She couldn’t maintain her composure any longer.
“Like I said, how can you know my identity and remain so calm? Shouldn’t you be more surprised?”
“Wow, so amazing, so amazing~ Is that enough?”
Luo Yuxi wondered what Sybil was getting at. If she hadn’t learned about Sybil’s true identity on the magic train, she would indeed be surprised. But since she was already prepared, she wasn’t going to play along.
“You!! That’s so perfunctory!”
Sybil, angered by Luo Yuxi’s indifferent attitude, stood up and stomped her feet before sitting back down. She had planned to reveal her identity now, letting Luo Yuxi experience the shock, and then, seeing her awestruck expression, lure her back to her room and have her way with her.
“Is it morning already…?”
As Sybil was fantasizing, Natalie slowly opened her eyes. Her weakened body prevented her from sitting up. Sybil rushed to her side and held her hand.
“Thank goodness, you’re finally awake! It’s alright now, Sister Tally, the curse is lifted, your life force is no longer draining!”
Natalie gently reached out and caressed Sybil’s worried face. She had only gone to gather alchemy ingredients, but she was attacked by a high-ranking monster and struck with a powerful curse that drained her life force.
“Thank you so much, Sybil. You must have been worried while I was unconscious~”
“As long as you’re awake, that’s all that matters…”
Looking at Natalie’s forced smile, Luo Yuxi felt something was off. Her gentle demeanor didn’t match the cunning and cruel Fallen Witch in her memory. And even though she was exhausted, she still comforted Sybil. How could such a kind person become a witch?
“You must be the one who saved me…”
Natalie’s voice interrupted Luo Yuxi’s thoughts. She gave Luo Yuxi a grateful smile, and Luo Yuxi replied that it was her duty.
“I’m a nun of the Church. Helping others is my job. The curse has just been lifted, and you haven’t recovered yet. You should rest for a while.”
“Really? But I want to look at my savior a little longer. But this is probably my limit…”
Natalie closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep. Under the curse, she had been in constant pain, unable to even sleep.
“Now that your sister is stable, she should be able to move around after a few days of rest.”
“Luo Yuxi, you’re truly my lucky star! I only hoped you could delay the curse, but you actually cured my sister~”
Luo Yuxi smiled at the happy Sybil and opened the door, saying she wanted to go for a walk. Sybil, still worried about Natalie, decided to stay and gave Luo Yuxi a bag of coins, telling her to enjoy herself.
“You can use continental currency within the Elven Forest. Bartering is also possible, but coins are more convenient. Consider it payment for your services~”
“Since you insist, I won’t be polite.”
Luo Yuxi took the coins and left the treehouse. Standing on the platform, she looked down at the crowd of elven girls.
“Finally, I can explore freely, hehe~ Where should I start~?”
As she was pondering, the familiar panel appeared, displaying a rough outline of the Elven Forest. Only the area around her was labeled; the rest was shrouded in black fog.
“So this thing can also display a map? A fog of war? Just like in the game?”
Luo Yuxi wondered why something from a book’s magic circle was connected to the game. She walked down from the treehouse, looking at the elven girls passing by, their beautiful eyes and pointed ears, slightly flushed, looking incredibly alluring.
“This is truly paradise~ Now, where is that brothel from the game~?”
She swiped through the panel, trying to find the location on the map. After confirming the general direction, she headed towards the brothel. But she didn’t notice that every elven girl she passed by turned to look at her.
“Was that a human? Her pink hair is so pretty~”
“I think I just smelled the scent of honey~”
“Her legs in those stockings are so tempting~”
