Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

Page 301

Elise and Lily sat in a café, where they could clearly see the bustling streets outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

“Our City of Hope isn’t bad either, it’s just that we go there a bit too often.” Lily sipped her sweet milk; she wasn’t used to drinking bitter coffee.

Just as Elise was about to say something, she suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the window.

Estella was standing in front of a shop across the window, staring straight at Iris, who was drinking coffee. Iris found her gaze somewhat unsettling.

It's as if I've been targeted by some terrifying yandere.

However, Elise wasn't afraid; in fact, she was a little excited. She waved to Estella through the window and pointed to the coffee on the table, signaling her to come in and have a drink together.

Noticing Elise's actions, Lily also silently looked out the window and soon noticed the purple-haired girl.

She frowned slightly. Although she didn't sense any danger from the other person, he had appeared beside them without her noticing. This person was clearly not simple.

Lily gently nudged Elise, saying nothing, but her meaning was clear.

"Don't worry, this is our territory, she won't do anything reckless."

"So, who exactly is she?"

"Her name is Estella, an alchemist."

"Hmm? What did you do to offend them this time?"

“I… am also very curious.” Elise was now genuinely curious about Estella, curious about her relationship with her, and curious about the relationship between them.

Just as the two were talking, Estella had already entered the coffee shop.

Even Iris couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw Estella sitting down right next to her, because she knew very well what the consequences would be if Estella got close to her.

At such close range, if Estella wanted, she could use soul alchemy to turn her into a firearm at any time.

Elise knew that Estella was in danger, but for some reason, she wasn't too worried, as if she knew that the other woman wouldn't hurt her.

This feeling is very strange.

"Long time no see." Estella's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of nervousness, but her gaze was fixed on Iris, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Actually, it hasn't been that long."

"It's been a long time for me."

Lily was already prepared for a fight, but to her surprise, the atmosphere became unexpectedly harmonious after the other person sat down.

"Speaking of which, I've always felt like I've forgotten something. I wonder if you could help me figure it out?" Elise pointed to her head.

“Sure, if you can come to see me alone, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know,” Estella said without hesitation.

Volume 1: Chapter 633 I will wait for you, no matter how long.

"Does it have to be just one person?" Iris looked at Estella pitifully, as if she would burst into tears if the other woman nodded.

Even Lily was momentarily fooled by Elise's aggrieved little expression, but having spent a lot of time with Elise, she knew that this wicked woman's greatest skill was changing her expression.

Don't let her pitiful appearance fool you; she might burst out laughing in the next second.

Although she knew that Elise was unlikely to agree to the other party's condition, Lily still gently kicked Elise under the table.

“No, I won’t tell you unless you come to see me alone,” Estella said seriously.

"Sure, but I've been a bit busy lately, so I'll have to come see you after I'm done." Elise sighed softly, a hint of helplessness appearing on her pretty face, as if she really was busy.

"Okay, I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes."

Even though it was just a mutual test, Elise felt like a heartless woman who had started something and then abandoned it.

Of course, this was just her inner rant. Because she had experienced too many deaths and her personality was twisted, calling her a "scumbag woman" was actually a compliment.

Watching Estella's departing figure, Elise frowned slightly. After probing for so long, she still couldn't figure out what the other woman was thinking. Did she really want to meet with her alone, or was it a trap?

Just as Iris was about to fall into deep thought, Estella seemed to remember something and returned to Iris's side.

When Estella approached, Iris felt she should be on guard, but her reaction was exactly the same as before: she couldn't muster any defenses.

She even began to wonder if she had been "tuned" while being locked in the basement.

"I almost forgot to tell you, you can go back to Seria anytime if you want, and no one will bother you."

Hearing Estella's words, Iris couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She knew that Celia was now practically the domain of a magic god, and even an insect entering it would likely be detected.

Elise had already removed the massive insect network that she had built underground in Seria.

Building a nest of insects in the realm of God is no different from courting death.

Estella didn't care whether Iris believed what she said or not; she simply told Iris about it and then turned and left.

This time, Estella did not turn back.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Elise didn't know why, but she suddenly had an urge to stop them from leaving.

But this impulse was quickly extinguished by reason. Before she could figure out Estella's purpose, she could not bring her into her camp.

"I feel like there's something strange between you and her?" Lily asked curiously.

"I'd like to know too, but I don't know."

Seeing Elise's melancholy expression, Lily, who had wanted to say something, ultimately couldn't bring herself to speak.

Because she rarely saw Elise looking confused, in her impression, Elise always had her own considerations in everything she did, as if she had already seen the outcome of something before doing it.

Just then, Elise suddenly felt a soft touch on her hand. She looked at Lily and saw that the other was looking at her with concern.

"Don't worry, I just feel like I've forgotten something."

"Why don't we go back?"

"How can that be? We've gone to so much trouble to bring you out here, of course we have to have a good time before we go back."

As she spoke, Elise took Lily's hand and left the coffee shop.

……

In the evening, after spending the whole day eating, drinking and having fun outside, Elise finally took Lily and headed towards Elira's mansion.

Although Estella's appearance caused her a brief period of confusion, it didn't have a significant impact on her overall.

As the two walked back, chatting and laughing, Elise seemed to sense something, and a subtle stiffness appeared on her smile.

Because she saw a beautiful pregnant woman with a large belly walking towards them not far away.

If it were just an ordinary pregnant woman, Elise wouldn't care, but the problem is that the other party is a follower of the Nine-Headed Mother, not the one she met in Celia before, but another one.

Lily seemed to sense the threat as well. The smile vanished from her lovely face, and her emerald green eyes fell on the beautiful pregnant woman, filled with vigilance.

The pregnant woman stopped three meters in front of Elise. Her eyes fell on Elise, a hint of undisguised doubt flashing across them. She clearly felt her mother's presence in this person, but the other person was not her companion.

"Excuse me, is there something you need?" Elise looked at the other person coldly, and a strange heart-shaped mark was faintly visible deep in her eyes.

"Beautiful lady, would you like to have my child?"

"No, I'm not interested in having children." Elise silently pulled Lily away from the other person.

Being targeted by the Nine-Headed Mother's followers is not a good thing, especially if they want you to have children.

The pregnant woman who was rejected didn't care, but her round belly kept bulging, as if something was struggling to crawl out of her belly.

The pregnant woman gently stroked her large belly, her face full of love: "Don't get excited, you'll die if you come out at this time."

With the pregnant woman's reassurance, the thing inside her belly gradually calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

After giving Elise a deep look, the pregnant woman smiled and turned to leave.

"Are the followers of the Nine-Headed Mother so easy to talk to?" Lily asked with some doubt.

"No, it's because there are still people watching her."

As Iris spoke, she glanced at the rooftop of a building not far away, where she could see Estella's familiar figure.

Noticing Iris's gaze, Estella waved excitedly at Iris.

Elise smiled and greeted the other person, just like a very good friend, but there was no other interaction beyond the greeting.

"Let's go back, this is really bad luck." Elise recalled the pregnant woman's look just now, and she felt a little unclean herself.

But the attention from the other party also made Elise feel threatened.

The last time in Seria could be considered a coincidence, but this time being targeted made Iris feel that there might be some quality about her that attracted the other party.

This is definitely not a good thing.

Volume 1: Chapter 634 Teacher, I miss you so much

Elise even wanted to ask that person what it was about her that attracted him, so she could change it.

She truly didn't want to have anything to do with the Nine-Headed Holy Mother.

Even someone with a twisted personality like her wouldn't want her belly to suddenly grow big for no reason one day.

Hearing Elise's sigh, Lily didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. She could only squeeze Elise's hand and say, "If you go out in the future, I can reluctantly act as your bodyguard, so you don't have to worry."

"My Lily is so good." Elise hugged Lily tightly and rubbed her soft, smooth face against her skin.

Lily felt her face flush from the sudden rubbing against her, and muttered, "Don't rub against me like that all of a sudden. And when did I become yours?"

"Don't worry about the details, let's hurry back and not miss dinner."

Lily wanted to say something more, but Elise had already grabbed her hand and was running towards Elira's mansion.

As soon as they returned to Elira's mansion, Elsa came up to them and said with a resentful look, "Teacher, where have you been?"

"I just went out for a stroll." Elise subconsciously reached out and ruffled Elsa's pink hair, while also checking her body.

During her time in the Cursed Fertile Land, she was unable to treat Elsa, so Elsa's physical condition remained precarious. Although she appeared to be fine, her body would collapse if she used power beyond her control again.

"That's great! I also want to go on a date with you, teacher." Elsa emphasized the words "two people" and "date."

Upon hearing her words, Lily instinctively wanted to explain, but after thinking back carefully, she realized that her time with Elise today did indeed seem no different from a date.

Fortunately, Elira came over at that moment and invited everyone to sit down and have a meal.

During the meal, Elise briefly recounted her encounter with the Nine-Headed Mother's Chosen and reminded the others to be careful when going out.

"Are the followers of the Nine-Headed Mother already so active?" Elira frowned slightly; another unexpected situation had arisen.

She remembered that at this time of year in the past, the followers of the Nine-Headed Mother should not have been very active.

"Now that Longyuan is becoming more active, it's normal for the followers of the Nine-Headed Holy Mother to be active as well."

"Okay, then it seems I really need to be more careful when I go out from now on."

At this point, Elira seemed to remember something and then asked with some curiosity, "It's one thing that you ran into them in Seria, but to encounter them again in Castor seems to be quite a connection with the Nine-Headed Mother."

"Would you like this kind of fate?" Iris glared at Elira with annoyance. This kind of person is a typical example of someone who talks without understanding the situation.

Elira stuck out her tongue. She didn't want to be targeted by those perverts who liked to make other people have children. In the past, if she could crush them, she would kill them directly; if she couldn't, she would just run away.

In a situation where the opponents are evenly matched, she wouldn't even bother fighting them.

After dinner, Elise returned to her room and was about to take a shower when she heard a knock on the door before she even entered the bathroom.

Her senses told her that it was Elsa standing outside the door.

"come in."

Although she locked the door, it didn't do any good for Elsa.

"open."

Elsa, standing outside the door, simply uttered a word, and the door automatically unlocked and opened.

Elsa closed the door behind her and stared intently at her teacher, her eyes filled with undisguised desire.

When she was raising Elsa, she was often looked at with that kind of gaze, and nothing good ever happened when she was looked at with that kind of gaze.

"You've come to see me at this time, you're not trying to become a disciple, are you?"

"How could that be? I came here to ask the teacher for help with my health treatment. You know my body is on the verge of collapse right now," Elsa said pitifully.

In terms of acting, Elsa learned a lot from her teacher, such as her pitiful expression now, which she learned by observing her teacher.

Looking back, I remember that whenever I teased my teacher to the point of losing control, she would make this face. After seeing it so many times, I naturally learned to imitate it.

After all, the teacher said that we should always observe more, not only to notice details that others cannot, but also to learn a lot.

How could Elsa not see through her act? However, Elsa's physical condition did need to be addressed. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Wait here for me for a bit. I'm going to take a shower first."

"What a coincidence! I haven't showered either. I wonder if I can shower with the teacher?"
