Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 148: Clue Appears
“There’s no need to apologize to me, Ruo Yi.”
Xi Wei lowered his head and gently kissed Ruo Yi’s tender earlobe.
The fair neck of the shy fox-eared girl immediately flushed crimson.
She was breathtakingly beautiful under the dim light.
“No matter what, you are still my Ruo Yi, and I won’t dislike you.”
Ruo Yi felt as though she had fallen into a whirlpool of affection. She tightly embraced the strong body of the man before her, wishing she could melt into his chest.
However, this was clearly not the right moment.
“Mas… Master…”
Ruo Yi’s beautiful eyes welled up with tears. She lightly bit her red lips, exhaling softly, her appearance one of imminent tears.
“Hmm? What is it?”
“C-can you please… stop squeezing… my tail…”
Ruo Yi’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s hum. Even Xi Wei, a Champion Knight of formidable strength, almost couldn’t hear it.
It was like petting a cat a little too much…
Xi Wei quickly retracted his hand.
This couldn’t really be blamed on him.
It was mainly because Ruo Yi’s fox tail was too fluffy and too soft.
As soon as he reached out, his hand sank right into it.
The warm, plush sensation was enough to make any stuffed animal lover go wild.
“Heh heh, I’m sorry.”
“You know me, when I’m discussing matters, my hands always want to be holding onto something…”
“And your fox tail was right there…”
Ruo Yi chuckled lightly at his words. The electric sensation on her tail disappeared, finally giving her some strength and clearing her hazy mind.
She tilted her head up and stood on her tiptoes.
With a “mua~” sound, she lightly kissed Xi Wei’s neck.
“Ruo Yi doesn’t blame Master… If Master likes it, tonight is fine~”
Ruo Yi blinked her eyes. She knew Xi Wei understood her. Unconsciously, her fox tail brushed against Xi Wei’s waist.
“Ahem… cough cough…”
The Slave Trader’s cough interrupted the affectionate master and servant.
Ruo Yi’s sharp gaze swept over.
If looks could kill,
This Slave Trader would likely be sliced into thin, paper-like pieces.
Actually, the Slave Trader was also suffering inwardly.
Fingers are connected to the heart.
The fact that he wasn’t screaming and wailing in agony was because the torture had made him somewhat numb.
And now, these two people had been indulging themselves for so long.
He had maintained absolute silence the entire time.
But he simply couldn’t stand it anymore.
The dull ache in his nerves made it difficult for him to breathe, and he choked on some saliva.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my lords, I didn’t see anything, I didn’t hear anything…”
“Please kill me, I really don’t know anything, I just dimly came here… sob sob sob…”
Seeing that he had already drawn their attention.
The middle-aged man could no longer hold back.
He immediately began to cry and wail.
Only by wailing could his pain be slightly alleviated.
Ruo Yi, with no reservations, was about to continue the torture, but Xi Wei squeezed her small bottom and stopped her.
“This person was bewitched by a Succubus, his memories have been overwritten and altered. No matter how you interrogate him, you won’t get the information you need. Even if he dies, he won’t know anything.”
“Th-then what do we do?”
Ruo Yi looked at Xi Wei with some hesitation, her gaze falling on the Slave Trader with an awkward expression.
So, it turned out this person really didn’t know anything.
And she had tortured him so many times…
“It’s normal that you can’t tell. Just let Lori cast a purification spell on him, but you likely won’t get any information.”
Xi Wei shook his head.
There must be something unique about this Slave Trader for him to be targeted by a demon.
Either he was a pervert.
Or his mind was filled with money.
Suffering in this cell was appropriate.
Xi Wei sent a Soldier on patrol outside the cell to find Lori. The Little Maid, who had just fled in a panic, was easy to find.
As requested by many readers, the VIP member ad-free feature is now available.
Click to view.
She was either in her room or in Xi Wei’s room, so she was quickly brought over by the Soldier.
“Master, aren’t you flirting with Elder Sister Ruo Yi~ Why do you have time to call Lori?”
“Do you perhaps want…”
Lori grinned mischievously, her gaze sweeping across Ruo Yi’s still blushing pretty face. She was wondering if she should find an opportunity to tease him back.
“You can’t, Master~”
“You can’t be so greedy. Even if you are the King, you can only be intimate with one Maid at a time~”
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair~”
Xi Wei, hearing this, exasperatedly pinched Lori’s pretty face.
Intimate, what intimate?
He thought to himself, why has this little girl become as mischievous as Ruo Yi after not seeing her for a few days?
“This person was bewitched by a Succubus. Your purification ability can break this charm, making it easier to extract information.”
“Oh, oh~” Lori curtsied, nodding. She suddenly remembered that Sakura seemed to be cursed as well, so she asked Xi Wei:
“Master, why don’t you let Lori purify Sakura too? Maybe that would completely solve the problem.”
“No.” Xi Wei shook his head and refused.
“You can’t break the curse on Sakura. Don’t take the risk.”
Lori’s Pure Edict could dispel curses and any abnormal status below Legendary-grade.
However, the curses on Sakura.
Individually, each one was a Champion Level curse, matching the strength of Lord Felton.
But Lord Felton was an Abyss Lord close to Legendary-grade.
To enhance the effect of the curses and increase the difficulty of breaking them, he had superimposed these conflicting curses.
The superimposed curses had already surpassed Champion Level.
They were not something Lori’s Pure Edict could handle.
Even if Lori’s Pure Edict could weaken them, Xi Wei did not intend to let Lori take such a risk, as the specific effects of these curses were still unclear.
What if they could cause damage to the person breaking the curse?
Lori and Ruo Yi were the people he cherished the most.
He could never let them try, no matter what.
However, dealing with the Succubus’s bewitchment was no problem.
Lori could easily remove it.
“Alright, then Lori will help this prisoner remove the Succubus’s bewitchment…”
“By the way, Master, you’re really amazing. Why could you tell at a glance that they were bewitched? Lori can’t see it at all…”
The Little Maid looked at her Master with adoring eyes, but her movements didn’t stop.
She chanted a cryptic Elvish phrase.
A milky white light lit up in her small hand, and then everyone seemed to see Shirley’s noble and elegant figure.
She held a bottle with ornate carvings in her hand.
The mouth of the bottle was slightly tilted.
A stream of pure energy poured out.
“Sizzle—”
The sound of flames extinguishing was heard.
Accompanied by a shrill demonic wail.
The Slave Trader’s eyes seemed to clear up considerably. He looked somewhat dazed, as if he was processing distorted memories.
“I… I think I remember…”
The Slave Trader said intermittently:
“I’m a horse dealer from Cyberi Town… One day, I was feeding the horses when I suddenly felt that a mare was so beautiful, and it spoke human words…”
“It told me, told me to do something for it, and if I agreed, it would be my wife. At that time, I just wanted to be with it…”
“So, so I agreed immediately…”
The horse dealer’s face fell, and he shook his head, his voice bitter.
“After that, it was as if I was being controlled. I rode that horse into a dark forest and found a Demi. Then, under the name of a Slave Trader, I brought her to Winter City to sell…”
“My Lord, please believe me, I am truly a horse merchant. My name is Bor, and many people in Cyberi Town know me. You just need to ask around, and you’ll know.”
…
This horse dealer named Bor rambled on. Xi Wei could feel that the man was not lying. The horse was likely a Succubus in disguise.
By the way, this Succubus has quite a peculiar taste…
Now, the clue points to Cyberi Town.
Given the Succubus’s personality.
After appearing in a place, she wouldn’t leave without causing some trouble.
