The Heartbeat of the Cruel Elves

Li Yin ignored the other party's sarcasm and was not angry. He just stared at the female dark elf calmly, waiting for her to continue speaking.

"Aren't you going to do 'something' for me?" the female dark elf stared at Li Yin, and her scarlet eyes suddenly lit up, like a predator seeing its prey.

"But," she said in a sonorous tone, emphasizing each word, "everything!"

"From now on, you will do everything I want you to do for me."

"--In other words, I will become your other master, slave."

Finally, she curled the corners of her mouth, raised her chin slightly, and ended her words quite proudly.

"You'd better say this to Miss Cassia yourself," the dark elf's words shocked Li Yin at first, but then he came to his senses and answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The other party is... trying to turn him into a chess piece that can be completely controlled!

"Not bad courage." The female dark elf glanced at Li Yin with approval.

"You are indeed a slave who dares to kill the dark elves," she said meaningfully, "I will especially praise you for this when I communicate with Princess Cassia."

"This kind of ignorant courage is foolish in the face of your profound wisdom." Li Yin smiled and said, "Returning the favor. Although I am just a slave, in order to express my endless gratitude to you, I will also speak a few good words about your wisdom in front of Princess Cassia."

"Are you threatening me?" The female dark elf paced gracefully and calmly, sat down on a chair, raised her head, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I dare not, I'm just learning from you." Li Yin lowered his head slightly to show polite "respect", but his tone was calm but there was no sign of weakness.

"Let's make this clear." The dark elf stretched out his arms, leaned back, stretched his body a little, then crossed his fingers and said calmly.

"The stupidity of that jerk Turner and your intelligence level are beyond my expectations."

"However, apart from making you feel smug for a while, this does not change the basic situation at all."

"Yes, I admit that I did have some contact with that idiot Turner before the incident."

"But have you ever thought about this? Not to mention the Borgia family, who in the entire Nevre would listen to the nonsense of a slave?"

"Especially the lies of a slave who harmed a dark elf?"

"Princess Cassia will believe it." Once again, to the surprise of the dark elf, facing her questioning, Li Yin raised his head, his eyes bright, and said very confidently.

Just kidding, Cassia, who was under the influence of charm, was his loyal ally - well, although this special "alliance" relationship between "elves and animals" was a bit weird, it was true that as long as it did not cause direct or potential harm to her, she would listen carefully and believe what he said.

not to mention--

"Oh?" The female dark elf interrupted his thoughts with a questioning tone. She stared at Li Yin curiously and smiled slightly. "You seem to have high expectations for the favor your mistress will give you?"

"This is not based on favor, but wisdom." Li Yin continued his thinking and said naturally.

"If you think about it carefully, you will understand that even if it was out of jealousy, Instructor Turner would not directly murder me. Because he was afraid of Princess Cassia's anger - so, someone must have instigated him to lose his mind."

What Li Yin said was exactly his original inference - the inference he had already made before awakening Turner's memory.

In other words, even without awakening Turner's memory, based on this inference alone, plus the previous vague and suggestive words, Rein was able to lead the situation to its current state.

Of course, it is undeniable that Turner's memory confirmed his guess with facts beyond doubt, giving him more courage and confidence.

"Even a slave can understand this truth. With Princess Cassia's wisdom, there is no way she wouldn't understand it."

The dark elf looked at Li Yin in doubt. At this moment, she admitted that she had underestimated his wisdom again. He was not such an easy target to coerce. His thinking and conclusions did make sense.

But... after a brief moment of surprise, Myrcella collected her thoughts, and a confident smile, as if everything was under control, reappeared on her fair face.

"Okay," she nodded rather easily.

"Let's step back a bit. Even if Princess Cassia can believe the words of a slave, then -"

"I admit that I did mention you and Princess Cassia to Turner, but it was just gossip between colleagues."

"Even if I am guilty, my crime is only that I inadvertently incited a dark elf to punish a slave, while your crime is that you killed this dark elf. To be honest, this is a bit unimaginable. I racked my brains and still don't know how a mere slave could defeat a well-trained dark elf warrior, especially when this dark elf had premeditated it. Even if he was just a clumsy, weak moon-group male."

"Should I blame it on your extraordinaryness or his stupidity?" She raised her eyes and looked at Li Yin curiously.

Without waiting for Li Yin to answer, she waved her hand again and continued speaking:

"——It doesn't matter. We can talk about this later. Anyway, I think you should understand. If this matter is exposed, you will definitely die, and the most I will receive is some minor punishment for my slip of the tongue."

"The problem is," Li Yin looked deeply into the eyes of the female dark elf, and a symbolic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "even if it is just a minor punishment that is not worth mentioning."

"But is it really worth it for a noble dark elf to pay for the life of a lowly slave?"

Chapter 2: New Master ()

"Oh, human," Myrcella looked at Li Yin in surprise, and suddenly laughed, laughing happily, shaking her body. Finally, she looked at Li Yin as if she was looking at some rare treasure.

Then, she chuckled again, and then she covered her mouth with her hands and said reluctantly:

"Did I say before that you don't know your own status and hurt your self-esteem? Believe me, you are worth it now, very worth it."

"Remember when I said you were different from other lowly slaves?"

"However," she changed her tone and continued, "this is a good start. After all, you have finally learned a little humility."

Cassia... Li Yin's mind raced. The only difference between him and other slaves was the favor of Princess Cassia.

He raised his head and stared deeply at the female dark elf. "Have you ever considered that this might anger Princess Cassia?"

Myrcella tilted her head and smiled sweetly, "I'll have to ask you, my loyal slave, to keep this experience a secret for me."

"After all, you don't want Princess Cassia to know our little secret, right?"

Li Yin's face turned gloomy.

Although for now, his relationship with Princess Cassia was quite "pleasant", he had no plans to find himself another "mistress".

However, he could not ignore the threat in the other party's words.

Myrcella had a point. If I pushed her too far, she would definitely report me. Although I believed that she was the one who planned this incident, with her racial advantage, Myrcella could easily convince her compatriots that this was just an accident caused by gossip and slip of the tongue.

Once this matter is exposed... the slaves committed treason and killed the dark elves, which is an unforgivable crime. Not to mention that the other dark elves would definitely call for fighting and killing, even Princess Cassia's side is not easy to say.

Cassia was the priestess of the Spider Queen. Li Yin knew that it was incredible for a person as strong-willed as her to be controlled by his charm. Therefore, in their daily interactions, Li Yin had tried his best to avoid any factors that might cause her to be alert, so that she would not become aware of his condition due to being stimulated. Any situation that the priestess regarded as a threat, even a potential threat, would most likely result in the spell being lifted immediately.

And a slave who deliberately murdered and killed a dark elf - Li Yin could hardly guarantee that Cassia would not regard this as a potential threat to herself. If that happened, his fragile spell effect would probably be broken immediately!

Even if Cassia herself still did not break free from the control of the charm, and tried to protect him because of the spell, such abnormal behavior would attract the attention of higher beings in the family.

How about using charm on this female dark elf in front of me?

After a little thought, Li Yin decided to suppress this idea for the time being.

Because he didn't know the other party's background, and didn't know whether Myrcella participated in this plan alone, or there were other people behind her. Li Yin didn't believe that the other party's target was only him - a slave was not worth their efforts, so their real target was probably the only force behind him that supported him - Princess Cassia.

And does this dark elf woman from the commoner class really have the confidence to confront a princess of a family alone?

And if there is a power behind her that is equal to or even greater than Princess Cassia, and she uses charm to interfere with Myrcella's mind, will she be noticed?

In addition, the current situation has not reached the point where it cannot be resolved, so Li Yin decided that unless he has figured out Mircella's background or her pressure really leaves him with no way out, he will not use charm for the time being.

So, after a change of expression, Li Yin raised his head and said helplessly and cautiously:

"Okay... for now, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"I haven't decided on a specific goal yet," the female dark elf said casually, playing with her nails, "but let's start with a small thing -"

"From today on, you must pay close attention to Princess Cassia's movements and report to me all relevant and valuable information."

"Are you going to deal with Princess Cassia?" Seeing that the other party was so blatant, Li Yin directly asked the guess in his mind.

"We?" The female dark elf was stunned at first, and then smiled.

"That's right...we," she looked at Li Yin, her eyes sparkling, "I never knew that a slave like you has such a clever brain."

Li Yin's heart skipped a beat when his guess was completely confirmed.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

This does not mean that he has become a loyal slave so quickly. Admittedly, Cassia has not hurt him so far, and has given him a lot of help - although it was under the influence of charm - which made Rein unwilling to actively hurt her. However, the more important reason is that it is very risky to charm the priestess of the Spider Queen. Rein realized that if he lost Cassia, he might never find such a strong umbrella in Nevre again.

"Are you worried about us dealing with Princess Cassia? Are you afraid of this?" On the other side, the female dark elf asked curiously, as if she had suddenly realized something.

"But don't worry," she said in a softer voice, "'We' have no plans to deal with her yet. It's just... out of admiration and respect for her. After all, the movements of a princess are a topic of great concern to all family members, right?"

"Please believe me, I have no intention of dealing with our princess for the time being, nor do I dare to. Maybe one day in the future, I will have to ask you to speak a few good words for me in front of her at the right time."

Li Yin did not comment on the dark elf's words. If he regarded the dark elf as a sincere person who said what he meant, he would be a fool. He did not believe that the other party went to such great lengths just to control him and say good things to her in front of Cassia. This was probably just a way to lull him into carelessness, in exchange for his initial "cooperation", so as to induce him to sink step by step.

However, no matter whether he believed it or not, Li Yin seemed to have no way to refuse the "cooperation".

Wait, that's enough?

Okay, everyone, see you tomorrow.

Chapter 1: The Taste of a Princess ()

It was not difficult to just report the intelligence. Moreover, the so-called "valuable" information was also determined by him, which gave him a lot of room for maneuver. In short, before the dark elf issued a clearer, more dangerous, and more excessive order, Li Yin decided to temporarily obey her idea.

"By the way, your loyalty to your master is really touching. I hope that you can adapt to your new identity quickly and serve your new master with the same loyalty." On the other side, the dark elf continued to talk, with brilliance in his bright eyes and a happy smile on his snow-white cheeks.

So Li Yin frowned and nodded.

However, the dark elf's eyes suddenly looked a little strange. She glanced at Li Yin from side to side, examining him coldly, with a frosty aura emanating from her delicate face.

Li Yin first looked around, then looked at himself, but didn't find anything unusual, so he could only stand there puzzled and somewhat embarrassed.

"Is this the attitude you agreed to?" The female dark elf snorted and asked unhappily.

Li Yin finally understood what was going on and sighed, "As you wish."

"As I wish?" The female dark elf repeated his tone with some amusement, and then her voice became deep and stern again, with a hint of cold amusement, "I have many wishes, I don't know which one you mean."

"Since your words do not reflect a clear understanding of your new identity and the respect you deserve for me, I can understand that what you are expecting is another wish of mine - to send you to the torture chamber for trial?"

Li Yin looked at the aggressive female dark elf in surprise, his eyes slightly stunned.

After a long while, he sighed heavily, then collected his thoughts and said in a serious tone, "As you wish, Master."

The female dark elf nodded with satisfaction, and she tiptoed briskly with her right leg raised high on her left leg.

"So, besides reporting Princess Cassia's information to you, is there anything else you need me to do for you?"

After figuring out the dark elf's true intentions, Li Yin decided to end this suffocating conversation as soon as possible.

He waited for the female dark elf to say no and then waved her hand to dismiss him. But the female dark elf didn't do that. She just pursed her lips and glanced at him sideways again.

Li Yin understood immediately and added reluctantly: "Master."

A pleasant smile reappeared on the corner of the female dark elf's mouth, and she nodded again.

"No more." She said briefly.

Li Yin was about to say goodbye and turn around, but she suddenly said sternly: "But you must be on standby at all times."

"As you wish, Master." With the experience from the previous two times, Li Yin was honest this time and did not give her any chance to make things difficult for him.

So the female dark elf nodded and waved her hand, indicating that Li Yin could leave.

Li Yin turned around.

"Wait," At this moment, the cold voice came again from behind him.

Just when Li Yin was wondering if he had annoyed her because he forgot to say goodbye respectfully again before turning around and leaving, the female dark elf seemed to remember something and spoke in a serious and cautious manner.

"This title must and can only be used when the two of us are present. Do you understand?"

Li Yin was a little confused at first, but then he realized what was going on and nodded immediately: "I understand."

Then, before the dark elf attacked again, he reacted again and added, "Master".

At the same time, he laughed secretly in his heart.

Fortunately, this little "power-loving" girl still has some sense of propriety and knows her own limitations, and does not completely regard herself as a princess.

Otherwise, he really wanted to see what wonderful expressions would appear on her and Cassia's faces when he "accidentally" called her to be the boss in front of Cassia.
