Sure enough, after Elise browsed around the exchange, quite a few enthusiastic vendors gave her their goods for free, and some even wanted to give her their entire fortune.
In response, Elise could only say that the people of Falling Star Harbor were just too enthusiastic.
5. She doesn't have a space ring on her now, so she threw all her things into the sewer. The bugs will collect them for her, and she just needs to find a time for Sally to come and pick them up.
After browsing the exchange, Elise went to sample some local cuisine, which was, of course, free.
However, just as Elise was enjoying her meal, she seemed to sense something, and slowly left the bustling street, walking into a secluded alley.
As she walked deeper into the alley, Estella appeared silently behind her.
Umbrella Elise turned to look at the other person and greeted them with a smile: "Long time no see."
To Elise's surprise, Estella did not show any morbid fanaticism when she saw her; in fact, she seemed somewhat dazed.
The temple's daze didn't last long before Estella gradually came to her senses, a morbidly fanatical smile spreading across her face: "I remember now."
Upon hearing her words, Iris raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Estella had not recalled all her past life memories before seeing her?
As if she could see through Iris's thoughts, Estella nodded: "That's right, just as you think. Before I met you, my memories were incomplete."
"I'm starting to regret showing up in front of you now." Elise twitched the corners of her mouth. She knew Estella should know where she lived, so why was she asking Servis for information about her? So that's why.
"It's too late to regret it now. It's just a pity you didn't come to see me in person," Estella said with some disappointment.
Although Elise's disguise was excellent, and most people couldn't see through her true nature, Estella was no ordinary person. She saw through Elise's physical structure at a glance.
"I can't help it, I'm afraid you'll lock me in the basement," Elise said with a hint of melancholy.
“I was protecting you; that’s the only way you’re truly safe,” Estella said matter-of-factly.
At this moment, Elise could clearly sense the possessiveness in the other's eyes. She suspected that if her true form were here, Estella would have already made her move.
However, the current situation is not optimistic. Estella possesses soul alchemy, and she could very well imprison her own consciousness within this body. Therefore, she must be extremely careful when facing Estella.
“The environment here is really terrible, let’s find somewhere else to chat.” Estella snapped her fingers, and the two of them disappeared from the spot.
By the time Elise came to her senses, they were already in a coffee shop on the street. The people around them seemed completely oblivious to their presence, continuing to do what they were doing.
Iris couldn't help but bite her lower lip. She felt that Estella's strength was much greater than she remembered.
She took a deep breath and then said, "I heard you've been looking for me. Is something the matter?"
"I'm looking for you, of course, to protect you. This time, I absolutely won't lose you." Estella stared intently at Iris.
Even though it was a clone, under the other party's burning gaze, she still felt as if insects were crawling all over her body. A faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and her legs involuntarily pressed together.
As a lover of pleasure, she should theoretically be indifferent to even the most aggressive gazes, but this time was different.
Elise felt that her past experiences must have caused her to have these strange feelings.
As if sensing Iris's unusual behavior, Estella's lips curled up slightly: "It seems you haven't forgotten some things."
Volume 1: Chapter 583 Elise, you didn't want this either...
As if recalling some unpleasant memory, Elise's expression turned somewhat gloomy.
But soon, a bright smile bloomed on her face again: "I can't help it, after all, what you did for me was so profound that I still can't forget it even after so much time has passed."
Seeing Iris's slightly unrestrained smile, Estella couldn't help but tilt her head: "I don't like how you are now. I still prefer the way you are curled up in my arms."
"If you can do it again this time, I wouldn't mind," Elise said, seemingly indifferent.
Even though Estella is very strong, this time she is terrifyingly strong.
Elise hadn't forgotten the purpose of her visit. Her expression turned slightly serious, and she asked, "I feel like I'm missing a piece of my memory. I'd like to know if it's because of you?"
What she lacks are memories of being with Estella, and it seems likely that Estella tampered with her memories.
With her soul alchemy skills, she should be able to achieve this level.
Estella rested her chin on her hand and casually looked at Iris, saying, "If you want to know the answer, come and meet me in your true form. When we meet, I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
“There will be opportunities.” Elise picked up her coffee and took a sip.
"When will that be? I want to see you right now, I really miss you so much." Estella's eyes revealed undisguised possessiveness as she looked at Iris.
Elise felt slightly uncomfortable again because of the other person's gaze, but as a lover of pleasure, she had excellent control over her expressions and did not show any emotion because of it.
"By the way, I met a silver-haired woman the other day. Why did she smell like you?"
"Didn't she tell you that a part of my soul is intertwined with hers?"
"I will get your soul."
"If you can control that part of my soul, then I'll definitely be completely under your control, what am I going to do~" Iris looked at Estella pitifully, but her tone was a bit teasing, which made Estella a little angry.
Elise believed that with her words, Estella would definitely try to hunt down Servis's clone, which would delay Servis's efforts to find a solution.
After finishing her coffee, Elise lazily stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."
"You didn't tell me where you are before you left? I'm coming to find you."
"No, you'll die if you come looking for me. I can't bear to see you die. I also want to see what it feels like to lock you in the basement~" Elise gave a cute smile.
"Let's see who locked whom in the basement."
"it is good."
Once Elise was far away from the coffee shop, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had been genuinely worried that Estella would attack her. Although she was sure she would react in time, no one knew whether Estella had any tricks up her sleeve.
Elise has experienced enough of these kinds of mishaps.
After finding another secluded alley, Elise's consciousness immediately detached from her clone. Her clone then transformed into countless butterflies and vanished in the blink of an eye.
……
"How did things go?" Elira asked curiously when she saw Iris open her eyes.
She said she could only tell me the answer after we actually met.
"Then you should go and meet her."
In Elira's view, Elise was the world-destroying witch who had accompanied Estella, so the two should have a good relationship.
Wait a minute, if the two of them have a good relationship, Elise wouldn't need to use a clone to meet them, right? Could it be that their relationship isn't what she thinks?
“I still don’t know what my relationship with her is like?” Elise leaned back on the sofa, then slid onto Elira.
Feeling the weight on her shoulders and smelling the morning dew and flowers around her, Elira's body stiffened.
If some world-destroying being were to witness this scene, would I still be alive?
However, she couldn't refuse Elise, and most importantly, she actually enjoyed the feeling of being relied upon by the other woman.
After forcibly shifting her attention elsewhere, Elira asked, feigning composure, "Why would you say that?"
"Well, this is a bit hard to explain. Do you really want to hear it?" Elise whispered in Elira's ear.
The slightly sweet tone made Elira feel a hint of ambiguity, but more so a sense of danger, so she decisively shook her head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to listen."
Aren't you really curious?
"Not curious!"
To avoid arousing her curiosity, Elira quietly got up and prepared to run away.
Elise seemed surprised that Elira would stand up so abruptly; before she could react, she collapsed back onto the sofa.
Elise didn't get up either, just lay on the sofa, looking at Elira with a resentful gaze, as if blaming her for leaving suddenly.
Unable to bear the look in her eyes, Elira quickly made up a lame excuse and ran away.
Watching the other person's retreating figure, Elise covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Then she adjusted her posture and continued to ponder.
Originally, she was locked in the basement by Estella, and her attitude towards her should have been to keep her distance. However, the clues given by Elira indicated that she had lost a part of her memory of being with Estella.
According to Elira's description, her relationship with Estella seemed to be quite good during that experience.
This put Elise in a dilemma. What exactly was going on between her and Elira?
She can now somewhat understand how others feel about lacking certain memories of their past lives.
But while she understood, Elise also felt a strange pleasure. The thought of how much they had suffered made her feel a surge of pleasure and desire, and her body even trembled slightly.
Just as Elise was lying on the sofa with a fever, Wendy appeared beside her without her noticing: "I think I smell something..."
The sudden sound startled Elise, giving her the feeling of being discovered while secretly working at 0721.
Seeing Elise's flushed cheeks, Wendy seemed to realize something, and then said in a completely emotionless tone, "Elise, you didn't want to either..."
Volume 1: Chapter 584 Why are you so skilled at this?
Before Wendy could finish speaking, Elise tapped her on the head.
However, her head was hard, and Elise didn't use much force. Wendy just tilted her head and asked curiously, "Should I pretend to be in a lot of pain right now?"
"What do you think?" Elise said irritably.
Wendy blinked, then began to recall certain scenes described in the book, and started to try to manipulate her facial muscles to make a painful expression.
Seeing Wendy's increasingly strange expression, Elise suppressed a smile and said helplessly, "If you can't do it, then don't do it."
"Oh."
Wendy nodded, then looked at Elise again: "So, do you need my help?"
Elise instinctively wanted to say no, but then she suddenly became curious about how Wendy would help her if she asked for her help.
For some reason, Elise slowly stood up and said, "Elbow, go to my room!"
Wendy seemed not to have expected Elise to say that, and paused for a moment before following in her footsteps.
Back in the room, Elise sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the somewhat dazed Wendy: "If I wanted your help, what would you do?"
Wendy looked at Elise in front of her, the contents of the books she had read before flashing through her mind. She walked up to Elise expressionlessly, lifted Elise's chin, and said again in a completely emotionless tone, "Woman, you're playing with fire."
"Pfft." Iris couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Just as she was about to say something, Wendy suddenly covered her mouth with a kiss.
Elise initially thought Wendy was just a novice and had no real skills, but as their conversation deepened, she realized that Wendy had been playing dumb all along.
He may seem a bit slow on the surface, but he's surprisingly skilled at certain things.
By the time Elise realized she had been careless, it was too late.
……
The next day, when Elise woke up, she found that her room was like a spider's web, with spider silk covering the entire room.
She twitched the corner of her mouth, then turned to look at Wendy beside her.
Wendy had been awake for a long time, or rather, she didn't need to sleep at all. She had been lying on her side, staring at Elise for who knows how long.
Noticing that Elise was awake, she then said, "Good morning."
"You are responsible for restoring my room to its original state."
"Oh."
Wendy responded with a blank look, and then many small spiders crawled out from the cracks in the room, instantly restoring the room to its original state.
Elise twitched the corner of her mouth and then asked, "How come you're so skilled at it?"
Wendy tilted her head, as if she didn't know what Elise was asking. If it weren't for what happened last night, Elise would definitely have explained it to her in detail. But now, Elise had reason to suspect that the other party was doing it on purpose.
After a long stalemate, Wendy seemed to finally understand what Elise meant: "In the book."
As she spoke, Wendy took out various books from her spatial ring as if presenting a treasure.
After casually picking up a book titled "The Maid and the Young Lady Swap Identity" and flipping through it, Elise's expression became somewhat subtle.
Although she already knew that Wendy had been reading these kinds of unhealthy books, she really didn't expect that the other person could learn so much from them.
It can only be said that she was careless.
Elise originally wanted Wendy to read less of these kinds of books, but after hesitating for a moment, she didn't say anything. After all, it was rare for Wendy to find a hobby, so if she liked reading them, she should let her read them.
After casually putting the book back, Elise lazily said, "Help me take a bath."
"it is good."
Wendy picked up Elise and carried her into the bathroom.
Wendy is very efficient when helping with bathing because she grows extra hands to assist, which makes what would otherwise be a romantic scene become somewhat... strange.
By the time the two finished showering, changed their clothes, and went downstairs, it was already noon.
