Chapter 1015: Chapter 500: Aifei’s Strange Reaction

Li Ang knelt on one knee, holding the lotus foot of the blond young girl. Afraid to touch her wound, Li Ang cradled her calf, his breath brushing against her. The girl’s beautiful toes curled slightly like pearls, and the sound from her mouth halted, as if time had stopped in this moment.

It’s hard to imagine how these art-like feet withstand the pressure of being sliced by countless sharp blades, using a giant weapon to compete with powerful warriors in strength.

Li Ang knew, perhaps her doll-like appearance was innate, but her resilience surpassed steel, which is the reason she can abandon all her advantages and still stand firm.

Although she was always called the young lady, she was a complete counterexample of the common spoiled, ignorant, and harsh wealthy heiress.

Carefully applying the ointment and bandaging her up, the silence in the room finally ended.

Li Ang and Elaphia freed themselves from holding their breath and heard applause from behind.

"What are you doing?" asked the Spiritual Forger and Blade Master simultaneously.

The one clapping first was, of course, Farlonio, the Crafty Merchant Douding, who now had a mocking smile on his face.

"I’m applauding your flirting harmony, to say nothing of your bloodline power that can heal in no time. There’s also a high-skilled Healer here, and Mr. Li Ang has healing spells himself, but still wants to apply——ah!"

A Blade of Silver flashed past Farlon’s cheek, halting her laughter instantly.

Elaphia withdrew her casting hand with a stern face, ready to jump off the seat.

She generated her usual Hovering Flying Blade with Pure Magic Metal for support, but frowned when about to step on it.

The pain from the foot injury was intense even standing now.

Li Ang stepped forward at this moment.

Elaphia met his gaze, blushed slightly, but could not voice certain thoughts.

"Shall I carry you?" Li Angxian suggested.

"No way."

Elaphia shook her head, then quickly spoke before Li Ang could react: "Transform into Kaliya first; we’re about to go out."

Li Ang nodded with a smile, casting onto himself, Lily, and Diao, transforming the three once more into the likeness of the blond young girl’s attendants.

As a Douding, Li Ang found Kaliya was a bit taller than Elaphia, not entirely due to the maid outfit’s high heels.

There were height differences within the Haven Race; some particularly tall ones might seem diminutive, though Elaphia was among the cute and delicate ones even as a Douding.

"Kaliya" half-squatted, Elaphia extended her arms around "Kaliya’s" neck, settling onto her back.

The familiar maid posture made her seem less shy.

After lifting the blond Douding, Li Ang introduced Diao and Lily, now transformed into attendants Eviss and Passel.

"This is Diao, a child I met in a previous adventure who became my ally."

Diao nodded to Elaphia, but his expression was intriguing, as if there was something missing from Li Ang’s introduction.

And as if catching the attitude of the Ancient Witch Maiden, Elaphia emitted a slight hum, realizing Diao aligned with the Star Flower Travel Corps’ other members to some extent.

"This is Liluliss, from an ancient organization, considered a Holy Servant, said to serve a High-tier Divine Spirit."

Li Ang was unsure how to succinctly explain "sect", "Bahamut’s witch" concepts, only able to speak vaguely.

"Hello, little leader, after Li Ang and I fought a strong enemy, we became friends. Along the way, Li Ang mentioned you many times."

The title made Elaphia’s eye twitch, but she remained composed and said nothing.

"Hello to both, I understand Li Ang’s intention to assist me in progressing smoothly through the Martial Extreme Trial. Since your presence is to help him, which ultimately helps me, I’m very grateful for your support."

Elaphia was very courteous to Li Ang’s friends.

"No, no, you’re too kind." Diao waved his hand.

"Hehe, I don’t have anywhere to go for now, tagging along for free meals and lodging sounds good." Lily laughed.

"You spoke your mind." Li Ang said.

"Hehe."

Li Ang introduced Elaphia to the two, though they were already acquainted with her, making this just a formality.

After the formalities, they opened the door, heading out along the corridor.

While walking, Farlonio spoke quietly, "You could sit on the Flying Sword and——ah! I won’t say more! Really, not anymore!"

Suddenly appearing Sharp Blades came from all directions; though Farlonio was agile, she struggled to dodge.

Once again attacked due to loose lips, dodging to the end, she exposed a fearful expression. ℯℯ𝑙.

Elaphia’s anger had a half-serious demeanor; a bit weaker and the outcome would have been dire.

Seeing Farlonio’s expression, Elaphia frowned, ceasing her casting: "Where’s your dimension flicker ability?"

"Oh, um, something happened, I’ll explain to everyone later." Crafty Merchant Douding awkwardly rubbed his hands.

Li Ang previously speculated her situation, though Farlonio hadn’t disclosed it. Now, realizing it’s time to explain the truth, it seemed she needed Elaphia nearby for clarity.

"Let’s head back to the First Peak first." Elaphia said.

The blond young girl raised her hand to point the way, apparently in command like a landlord, yet in a carried state, adding a touch of charm, causing Li Ang’s lips to curl up.
