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

It's as if I was born unable to see these things.

She doesn't consider herself a soft-hearted person. She had fought with many people when she was a child, regardless of gender, and cried quite a few times. But she had never met anyone like Elise, who would panic as soon as she cried.

Perhaps seeing Elise about to cry, Nora even distorted her illusion manipulation. Luckily, Elise noticed in time and rectified the situation, otherwise, someone would have discovered the truth.

"How about I beat you up?" Nora suggested tentatively.

Nora had barely finished speaking when she heard two sighs, one from Elise and the other from the one inside her.

"She wouldn't bear to hit you." A clear voice, tinged with disappointment, rang in Nora's ears.

"why?"

"In short, let's change the way we compensate."

Nora felt that the person inside her was really idle, that they would even pay attention to something like this.

However, seeing that Elise really didn't seem to be able to do anything, Nora racked her brains for a moment before finally saying, "How about... I give you a foot massage?"

"I guess you can't think of anything else, so let's leave it at that." After Elise finished speaking, she composed herself in the next second, as if nothing had just happened.

Seeing how quickly Elise changed her expression, Nora couldn't help but twitch her lips, once again thinking that if Elise went to the theater as an actress, she should be able to achieve great things.

Seeing that the teacher was already heading their way, Elise gave Nora a wink, then got up to end the illusion.

Nora quickly gulped down the juice, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and rushed over.

As Nora took her place, Elise also dispelled the illusion barrier. Both of them looked breathless, as if they had just gone through a great battle.

Elise noticed that Nora had crumbs from eating cookies on the corner of her mouth, but thankfully no one noticed at the time.

The teacher, who had come over, saw that the two had fought to a sufficient extent and that continuing the fight might cause problems, so he called a halt to the duel.

After the practical training class ended, Woolis pulled her neighbor Nora to the corner of the room, then took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and said with some helplessness, "You should have at least cleaned up more carefully. Luckily, no one noticed just now."

Seeing Elise's actions and her somewhat reproachful expression, Nora smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, I won't go to the next class. You can go home by yourself."

"Then where are you going?"

"go to the library."

Seeing that Elise had already walked quite a distance, Nora remembered what she had just promised her and quickly called out, "I'll come to your house this afternoon."

"Well, I see."

After parting ways with Nora, Elise went straight to the library, where she saw Flora standing at the counter after handing over her work to someone. However, she wasn't reading as usual; instead, she was looking around as if waiting for someone.

Upon seeing Elise, a flicker of excitement flashed across Zero Flora's large eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Iris was misunderstood again," Flora said somewhat embarrassedly. She had actually wanted to explain, but Iris stopped her.

"It's alright, that's all the reputation I have at school anyway. More importantly, have you found a way to get into the forbidden library?"

“We’ve found a clue, and I feel like it should be soon.” Flora’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she said this.

"By the way, Miss Elise, would you like to come in with me later?"

Elise shook her head. She had been to the Forbidden Library several times before, when she was on the verge of death, but she wasn't interested in books related to magic. She could just ask Flora to keep an eye out for the information she wanted.

Flora was quite surprised by Elise's refusal. She had thought that Elise had given her the clues about the forbidden library because she wanted to go inside and explore it. She never expected that Elise would refuse.

Just as she was wondering, Elise took out another spatial ring and handed it to the other person.

Flora was stunned for a moment when she saw the ring Elise handed her, then her cute little face instantly turned bright red: "Miss Elise, I..."

"What are you thinking about? This is a spatial ring. It contains some ancient magical artifacts and materials that I've acquired. I'll leave it with you for now. Study it carefully. I'll need you to help me customize magical artifacts later."

Elise had no idea what Flora was thinking, but judging from her flushed face, she was probably thinking something inappropriate.

This is mainly due to the relatively open atmosphere in the empire, where such matters between women are not uncommon.

If it were a kingdom, they might be seen as an outcast.

Upon hearing what was inside, Flora forgot all about being shy and immediately put on the ring, probing it with her mental energy.

Looking at all the things inside, Flora felt a little dizzy. Happiness came too suddenly. Before, she thought that after studying the ancient magical artifacts that Iris had given her, there was nothing left to study. Now, so many things have come.

"Is it really okay for me to keep these things here?" Flora asked cautiously.

"Don't use expensive materials. Use cheaper materials for practice. You should be able to tell the difference, right?"

"Yes, I will definitely take good care of these things. If I accidentally lose them, I will..." Flora hesitated for a moment.

She originally wanted to offer herself to Elise as compensation, but there were so many valuable materials inside that even offering herself to Elise wouldn't seem enough, so she was caught in a dilemma.

"If you accidentally lose it, you'll have to compensate me with yourself."

“Okay, don’t worry, I definitely won’t lose it,” Flora said earnestly.

“Actually, it’s okay if you get lost. I don’t mind having another maid in the house,” Elise said with a smile.

However, if he were to actually bring Flora into his home as a maid, he might get beaten up by Elena.

Thank you all for your support! Mwah! (Extra chapter for today)

Volume 1: Chapter 187 Elise's tastes really good!

Elise returned to the manor and ran into Elena, who was just about to leave.

She said with some surprise, "You're not staying at the training ground today? Where are you going?"

"Go home, where else can we go? You're not going to deny us even a single day off, are you?"

"Do you think I'm the kind of heartless employer?" Elise looked at Elena with a resentful expression, her face full of grievance.

Seeing that Wu Yili was about to start again, Aibalina hurriedly said, "I'll hurry back and bring you a gift, that's all."

After saying that, Elena immediately controlled her magical flying sword and ran away. If she didn't run away, based on her experience, Elise would start demanding compensation from her.

Watching Elena flee in disarray, a pleased smile appeared on Elise's face. She hadn't seen Elena in such a disheveled state in a long time.

It's a pity she ran too fast; she didn't get to use her prepared combo. Otherwise, she could have made her opponent work for her for another half month without paying.

After escaping from Elise's side, Elena landed in a secluded alley near her home, then pretended nothing had happened and went straight home.

She rarely stays in the house she's renting now; her younger sister lives there most of the time.

Elena checked the time and estimated that there was still some time before her sister came home, so she simply lay down on the bed and went into the Burning Church to fight her other self.

Although she is always fighting with another version of herself, her own strength improvement is not hindered at all. Every time she fights, she can feel herself getting stronger little by little.

Of course, her other self could always become stronger than her, a fact that Elena found somewhat frustrating.

She felt she needed to find another skill she didn't possess to pose a threat, otherwise the other party would have everything she knew, and might even be more proficient than her.

And if I keep following the same path as my alternate self, what will happen in the future...?

Recalling the eerie monster that resembled a god, and the slender figure blocking her way, Elena felt a pang of unease.

She didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

After a near-death experience, Elena woke up again, and it was already close to evening.

Just then, the door opened, and Elena got out of bed and walked out of the room, where she saw her younger sister who had just returned home.

It's unclear what happened to make Yi so happy, but Jiu Ai (Lin Si Na) noticed that her younger sister seemed particularly excited.

After entering the room, she didn't even notice her standing at the door, and just wanted to go straight to the basement.

The basement is where Flora conducts her magical research. Because magical research is somewhat dangerous, and explosions are commonplace, she has no choice but to locate her research in the basement to avoid losing money.

She also reinforced the basement.

Seeing that her sister hadn't noticed her, Elena coughed twice.

Hearing the familiar voice, Flora realized who she was and looked up at her sister: "Sis, you're back!"

“I’ve been standing here for ages, but you ran straight to the basement as soon as you got back. You’re not planning to eat, are you?”

Facing her somewhat stern older sister, Flora glanced at her guiltily and said, "No, I didn't. It's just that my classmate gave me a lot of ancient magical artifacts today, so I was a little excited."

"Did your classmate give you something again?"

"Yes, she's so good to me." Flora smiled sweetly as she thought of the things in her spatial ring.

"Your classmate, could it be that he did this on purpose to win your favor?" Elena asked with some suspicion.

"She's a girl."

"In the Empire, even if the other person is of the same sex, it's still very dangerous." Elena, having been an adventurer for so many years, had seen countless dangers, and even herself…

Thinking about her relationship with Elise, Elena felt more and more that her sister's classmate had ulterior motives.

Flora looked at her older sister, Qi, with a hint of helplessness. Her sister was good in every way, except that she always liked to be suspicious: "Sister, don't worry, she's just interested in my magical artifact research, it's not what you're saying."

Flora's mind flashed back to Elise's beautiful face and unattainable background; she really didn't believe that the other woman could be interested in her.

She has no figure, no background, and while she's pretty... she is quite attractive.

"In short, it's never a bad thing to be careful." Elena knew that her younger sister had grown up now, so she didn't ramble on like before. She simply took out her spoils from her spatial ring.

Some rare materials, and ancient magical artifacts that Elise helped her choose, were all gifts she brought back for her sister.

She had considered bringing back some normal gifts, but she knew very well that her sister wasn't interested in ordinary gifts.

Flora blinked when she saw the gifts her sister had given her. She wondered if it was a coincidence, but she noticed that many of the rare materials in her sister's gifts overlapped with the rare materials Elise had given her.

"Go ahead and do your research. I'll prepare dinner."

"Okay, sister, could you give me your weapon? I'll modify it."

"Row."

After handing over her weapons to her younger sister, Elena turned and went into the kitchen to cook. As an adventurer, she had some experience in cooking.

But to say it was particularly skillful wouldn't be an exaggeration. After all, before meeting Elise, during their adventures, they basically ate dry rations, unlike Elise who seemed to be on vacation.

Elena suddenly realized that even though she was on vacation, the name of Elise and related things kept popping into her mind.

Although she felt somewhat helpless, there was nothing she could do.

Who can blame her when Elise is her employer, and lately she's been spending so much time with Elise, even...

However, Elise tastes really good.

Elena glanced somewhat guiltily toward the basement before turning and walking into the kitchen.

Cooking isn't actually that difficult; the difficult part is figuring out how to get my younger sister out of the basement.

Fortunately, this time my younger sister was probably hungry, and she came out on her own after smelling the aroma.

Flora sat at the dining table, sniffed, and then asked, "Sis, dinner smells so good tonight."

"Really? Maybe it's because the ingredients were better." These were all spoils she obtained when she killed monsters in Antia.

With Elise around, the other party can clearly distinguish what is edible and what is not.

"If it smells good, eat it quickly."

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something. Your employer gives you 2 gold coins every month. Could it be that he's after you too? You should be careful."

Elena wanted to say how could that be, but when she thought about Elise's attitude towards her and the changes in their relationship, she felt that she might actually have been tricked by that wicked woman, Elise.

Volume One: Chapter 188 The Mirror of Omniscience

[依]玲意旗丝揪j3$:领梦

"Take it easy."

Elise gently kicked Nora with her foot. This blockhead really didn't know how to be gentle with women at all; Nora had almost cried out in pain just now.

Nora skillfully grabbed Elise's foot and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry, I haven't massaged in a while, my hands are a bit rusty."

As she spoke, Nora adjusted the pressure in her hands, and only after seeing Elise's expression relax did she continue kneading with the same pressure.

“Since you’ve put it that way, I suggest you give me a massage more often in the future, so you won’t get rusty,” Elise said, looking at Nora with sparkling eyes.

"As long as I have time."

"Ok?"

Elise glanced at Nora with some surprise, not expecting the other to agree so readily. Was this really the Nora she knew? Had she suddenly become enlightened?

Nora was initially reluctant when she first gave Elise the Reef, but after pressing it a few times and finding the feel quite good, she stopped caring.

Most importantly, I can take this opportunity to bully the other person.
