Elise blinked, then said, "I get shy when you stare at me like that~"
Hearing Elise's words, Lily said irritably, "I was worried that something might have happened to you when you suddenly fell asleep, and you wake up and say such sarcastic things."
As Lily spoke, she had already put the small bottle back in her hand. It contained the blood of the Goddess of Life, and not just any blood. It was Lily's backup plan, so that if anything unexpected happened, she could borrow the power of the Goddess of Life for a short period of time.
Actually, she was already preparing to use her backup plan, but Sera stopped her, saying that Elise was not in danger. It's unclear how Sera knew that.
However, she knew very well that Sera's ability to mistake her for Elise meant that her relationship with Elise was definitely not ordinary, so she chose to believe Sera's words and wait and see.
“I’m really happy that you’re worried about me~” A faint smile appeared on Elise’s face, and then she activated the Mark of Sloth.
The ability of sloth is mainly divided into two parts. One part is the domain of sloth, which can inert all power within the domain, whether it is magic or any other power.
Anyone within the realm of sloth will be suppressed; the suppression they felt before was actually caused by entering the realm of sloth.
However, the degree of suppression she exerted by the Sloth Domain was limited, and she could not yet achieve the level of Sloth.
But now that Elise has the mark of sloth, the domain no longer has any suppressive effect on her.
The other ability is related to dreams; Elise now possesses the ability to manipulate dreams.
They can silently infiltrate other people's dreams, alter the dream, and even commit murder in their dreams.
Lily sensed that Elise's strength had returned, and she blinked, saying, "Do we no longer need to go any deeper?"
"Okay, let's get ready to head back."
Elise originally wanted Sally to come and pick them up, but none of the insect eggs she had laid out in the Sloth Domain had hatched. Helpless, she had no choice but to leave the Sloth Domain first and then call over the helper.
Elise left the realm of sloth in just one day, traveling day and night without rest.
After leaving the Sloth Realm, she immediately contacted Sally and asked her to come and pick her up.
Less than half an hour later, Sally appeared before the three of them.
"Hiss, it feels even colder here." Sally, wearing a thermal suit, didn't feel the cold, but she couldn't help shivering as she looked around.
Upon seeing Sally, Elise smiled faintly: "Long time no see, have you missed me?"
“I don’t think we’ve been apart for very long,” Sally remarked, then added, “Are you ready? Let’s set off immediately.”
"Let's go."
As Elise finished speaking, Sally activated the long-distance teleportation. In the blink of an eye, the group returned from the frigid, endless ice plains to their familiar manor.
"I definitely prefer it here." Lily stretched lazily, her dress-up ring flashing, and she changed from her thick clothes into a thin and cute little dress.
Sera yawned and went back to her room to catch up on sleep, but as she passed the maid's room, she seemed to sense something, and a smile appeared on her lips, filled with undisguised pleasure.
"Ok?"
Elise blinked, a little puzzled, as if something was missing.
Normally, when I return from being away for a while, shouldn't the maid come out to greet me immediately?
Why didn't I see her?
With questions in mind, Elise also went inside and came to the door of the little maid's room.
Elise knocked on the door and was about to call out when the door suddenly opened, and a hand reached out and grabbed Elise's arm, pulling her into the room without warning.
Volume 1: Chapter 433 No, don't leave me again.
"When did my little maid become so bold?"
Elise, who was pulled into the room, did not resist at all and was pushed onto the bed. Even so, she remained very calm, and even a look of interest flashed in her eyes.
Could it be that during the few days I was away, my adorable little maid finally figured things out and started doing some fun things for her, her master?
Normally, the maid would probably have blushed with embarrassment and stammered an explanation.
But this time, Elise was surprised to find that the little maid didn't simply prop herself up and stare at her as she had expected.
Elise keenly noticed the maid's gaze sweeping over her neck and heart, and even going so far as to touch her directly.
Even Elise seemed quite surprised by this change.
Is this still my shy and adorable little maid?
As clever as she was, seeing the little maid's behavior, she already had a rough idea of what was going on. If nothing unexpected happened, the little maid might have awakened some memories from her past life.
"Why isn't Xiaomi Xia saying anything?"
Iris's voice finally pulled Misha out of her reverie. She stared blankly at Iris before whispering, "I...missed you, Miss."
"I've only been gone for a few days, and you've already thought about taking action? That's quite bold of you."
The maid remained unmoved by Iris's words. She looked directly at Iris and said softly, "During the time you were away, I remembered many things."
"I remember that Miss was killed time and time again. I don't know how many times. When I found Miss, all that was left was her broken body. No matter how hard I tried to put it back together, I couldn't."
Hearing the little maid's words, Elise couldn't help but bite her lower lip. She would have wanted any other protagonist to remember their past lives, but she didn't want the little maid to remember anything related to her past life.
Especially after hearing what Elira told her.
She wanted the little maid to continue living a carefree life, even if that couldn't last too long.
However, things didn't go as planned. The little maid remembered, and judging from her current state, the memories she recalled were likely more than just a few.
"Xia Mi, those are all things of the past. I'm right here beside you now." Iris reached out and touched the little maid's hair.
The little maid loved Elise's head pats, but as she felt her mistress's warm palm, an image of herself silently weeping while clutching her severed arm flashed through her mind.
She didn't want that to happen again. She wanted to become powerful, powerful enough to kill everyone, even the highest gods.
"Miss, I'm very scared."
"Ok?"
"I'm afraid that you'll do what I remember, send me away and then suddenly disappear."
"No, I promise."
The maid seemed not to hear Elise's words and continued to whisper, "At that time, I was thinking, if I had locked Miss in a place that only I knew about, would Miss not have suddenly disappeared?"
Elise, who had been relatively calm, stiffened upon hearing the maid's words, as she sensed danger emanating from the maid.
However, this danger is not the kind that threatens one's own life, but rather the danger of potentially losing one's freedom.
To avoid being locked in the basement or something, Elise quickly said, "Xiaomi, would you really be willing to lock me up?"
"I used to be reluctant to part with it, but now I don't know."
As the maid finished speaking, Elise clearly felt her hands being bound by an invisible shadow.
Although Elise seems to have lost the ability to resist at this moment, if she wanted to, she could easily break free from the shackles of the shadow simply by activating the Domain of Sloth.
But she didn't do that. She still spoke to the maid in a light tone, "When did Xiaomi Xia develop this kind of fetish? But I can play along with you."
Upon hearing Elise's words, Misha was silent for a moment. Several times she wanted to reach out and completely restrain her young mistress in the shadows, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"No, don't leave me again." The little maid leaned down and nestled in her mistress's arms, her tone sounding very aggrieved.
"I will never leave you again, I promise."
Misha felt that her young mistress was a liar. She had heard similar things from her countless times, but she had always foolishly chosen to believe them.
This time... is the same.
Elise, who was about to say something, suddenly felt her hands were no longer restrained. She blinked, then wrapped her arms around the little maid's waist and whispered, "You shouldn't be angry with me anymore, right?"
"Still angry."
The answer was both expected and somewhat surprising. Iris chuckled and said, "Then what do I need to do to stop you from being angry? How about I become your personal maid for a while?"
"No." As a professionally trained maid, how could she possibly allow her master to become her maid?
“Then you can do whatever you want.” A strange heart-shaped mark appeared in Elise’s eyes, but she did not release any power of pleasure to seduce the little maid.
Upon hearing these tempting words, the little maid seemed to have thought of something, then looked up at her mistress's beautiful face, and did something she had always wanted to do but never dared to.
When the maid took the initiative to kiss her, Iris was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared in her eyes. Her little maid had finally grown up and knew what to do at this time.
Unfortunately, Elise's relief didn't last long, as the little maid shrank back into her arms.
"That's it?"
The maid looked up again in confusion. This was already quite a bold thing for her, so why did her mistress sound disappointed?
Should I continue doing something?
Looking at the little maid's pure and innocent face, Elise twitched the corners of her mouth, then sighed softly, "I knew it. I shouldn't have had any expectations of you in this regard. Oh well, I guess I'm the one who has to teach you this kind of thing."
"Ok?"
Just as the little maid was wondering what was going on, Elise leaned in and kissed her lips again.
Volume 1: Chapter 434 The Hunt Begins
"Yawn~"
Elira yawned as she pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
It must be said that in terms of convenience in daily life, the Empire's magical artifacts are indeed much more convenient than those of the Kingdom. The use of magical artifacts in daily life has brought great convenience to people.
Although she hasn't lived here for very long, she's already starting to not want to go back.
Just as she was about to go downstairs, the maid's room door suddenly opened, and the neatly dressed maid came out. However, judging from the gentle way she closed the door, there seemed to be someone else in her room.
It's no surprise that the maid was so gentle; it must have been Iris.
Did Elise sleep in the maid's room last night?
Just as Elira was marveling at the atmosphere of the Empire, she suddenly felt an extremely dangerous gaze, which froze her in place.
It felt like encountering a natural enemy.
She had felt this way before; it was the gaze of the vengeful goddess.
The little maid looked at Elira calmly, while searching her memory for relevant information.
After confirming that she had nothing to do with her mistress's death, the maid looked away and greeted her casually, "Good morning, Miss Elira."
"Morning, good morning."
The moment the little maid greeted her, the feeling of being targeted by her natural enemy vanished, which made Elira relax a little.
However, a look of doubt quickly flashed in her eyes. She had interacted with the maid before, but she had not felt any danger when she was with her.
How come the little maid seems to have changed so much in just a few days?
Although she had some doubts, she obviously couldn't ask them; the feeling of danger still lingered in her heart even after the maid left.
She suddenly realized that Elise's manor was still too dangerous. Encountering those world-destroying beings every day was really too much for her fragile heart.
Just then, Sally's familiar voice rang out from behind her: "Good morning! I didn't expect you to be up so early today."
"Maybe she went to bed early last night. Besides that, don't you think Miss Misha seems a little different from usual?" Elira and Sally had a pretty good relationship. After all, Sally had never killed her, and Sally didn't have a history of destroying the world.
"Do you feel the same way? I also feel that the little maid seems a little different, but I can't quite put my finger on it." Sally scratched her head.
"Forget it, let's not ask about these things."
“That’s right, let’s not ask about these things.” Sally nodded in agreement. Anyone with eyes could see just how much Elise doted on the little maid.
If you provoke Elise, you might be able to escape unscathed, but if you provoke the little maid, Elise will definitely get angry.
The two exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and went downstairs together.
……
It was noon, in the maid's room.
Elise had already woken up, but she didn't get out of bed yet. She just lazily curled up in the blankets, enjoying the scent of her little maid.
Just then, the door to the room was gently pushed open, and the maid cautiously peeked in. Seeing that her mistress had woken up, she walked to the bedside and whispered, "Miss, it's time to get up."
"I understand. By the way, you've come to check on me ten times this morning to see if I'm still sleeping. Aren't you tired?" Although Elise was sleeping, she could still sense the movements around her, and the little maid's little actions naturally did not escape Elise's notice.
"Not tired," the maid said as she skillfully began to help her mistress change.
Looking at the marks left on that flawless white body because of her, a faint blush rose on the little maid's fair cheeks.
Sensing that the maid's movements were somewhat disordered, Elise chuckled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." The little maid pursed her lips nervously. As a maid, she had actually done something so disrespectful to her mistress, which greatly shocked her maid spirit.
But when she thinks back to what happened last night, she can't help but get caught up in it, and thoughts of doing it all over again even pop into her head.
