The Heartbeat of the Cruel Elves

"I, I just used charm to control her."

"This relationship is very risky - just like you got rid of the charm on your own before - it is not a long-term stable relationship."

"So, I hope to use charm to control as many respected dark elves as possible to increase stability."

When the last puzzle was solved, Du Feiya was stunned.

"You... enchanted Princess Cassia?" she murmured in disbelief.

"Hmm..." Li Yin nodded shamefully.

"I know this is wrong—" He seemed to be worried that he would dislike him for this, so he hurriedly tried to make amends, "But, but I just want to survive, there is no other way..."

Du Feiya nodded to show her understanding, but then her eyes turned and a bolt of lightning flashed through her mind.

"You, have enchanted Princess Cassia?" She asked again in an abrupt and high-pitched voice, her snow-white face filled with increasing disbelief, "And - until now, she is still under your enchantment?"

"Yes." Li Yin shuddered all over and his voice trembled. He thought this high-pitched questioning was a way for Du Feiya to express his dissatisfaction.

As expected, Du Feiya's face suddenly turned pale, as if she was extremely disappointed. Then her snow-white face suddenly turned red, as if foreshadowing the anger that was constantly accumulating.

"I'm sorry," he apologized again and again, "I shouldn't have done that."

"If you don't like it, I will remove this charm immediately."

"Don't!" Just as he was about to unilaterally erase the traces of the spell from his spiritual realm, he suddenly heard Du Feiya screaming loudly.

Li Yin stopped moving.

"You didn't lift it?" Du Feiya asked fearfully.

"Not yet... not yet." Li Yin answered in a low voice.

"That's good." Du Feiya let out a long sigh, seeming to be still frightened.

It almost happened... If Li Yin lifted the charm, how could I protect his safety from his cunning and cruel mistress?

Come to think of it… Was this also due to the influence of the charm? If Li Yin wanted to remove it, he would have done it long ago—just like he did to me before. Was he simply afraid of angering me, and in order to please me, he tried to remove the charm on Cassia regardless of the risk?

However, her silent question just now was not actually...

"I'm not unhappy about this," she looked at Li Yin and explained, "I know very well that you have no choice."

"Just like... my forced disguise, you did all this just to protect yourself. I won't blame you for it." She said gently and patiently.

The light bloomed on Li Yin's face again.

"Then what did you do just now..." He then asked in confusion.

Du Feiya's face froze, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks again. She pursed her lips, seeming to be quite distressed, but after a while, she raised her head, raised the corners of her mouth, and danced with joy, not giving Li Yin any room to ask further questions: "That's a secret!"

Seeing Li Yin nodding obediently and shutting his mouth as he was told, without asking any more questions, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, deep down in her heart, the shock she felt towards the tiny human male in front of her was far from over.

He was actually able to charm Princess Cassia, and the effects of the charm have continued to this day?

Although Du Feiya did not go to the Spider Academy, she had heard about the talent displayed by the youngest princess of the Borginia family in the academy.

Li Yin was able to interfere with the will of this little princess for such a long time...

Du Feiya suddenly realized a fact, which was the reason why she lost her composure just now - a charm that could reach this level, a charm that even the outstanding priests of the Spider Queen could not escape - was probably not something she could easily discover and remove by herself.

No wonder when she asked Li Yin if he had ever lied to her, he said no - this meant that his statement that he had removed the charm spell on his own initiative was not a lie. While she was angry at the time, out of trust in him, she explained in her heart that it happened that both of them had removed the charm spell, but he had done it after her, which was an invalid operation.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

What she thought was the truth just now was not the truth. There was no such thing as coincidence. The real situation was probably: at the moment when Li Yin removed the charm, she was sober and noticed something unusual when she reviewed her contrasting performance during this period. She realized something was wrong, and then she subconsciously used the spell to remove the mental effect, but it actually didn't work. It was an unnecessary and ineffective operation - because the charm had already been removed by then.

A blush crossed her cheeks.

This matter must never be known to anyone, especially... She glanced at the human male in front of her who was staring at her eagerly.

"Then..." The petite and lovely human male swallowed his saliva, lowered his eyes, and asked hesitantly, "Princess Du Feiya, can you forgive me now?"

"Yeah," Du Feiya responded softly.

"Then," he raised his head and asked hopefully, "I...we..."

He twisted his hands together, looking very nervous: "...are we still friends?"

Du Feiya wanted to agree to it very readily, but after changing his mind, he raised his eyebrows, looked at him coldly, and snorted unhappily:

"Friends? You call the person you control with charm a friend?"

"Yes, I'm sorry," Li Yin said immediately in panic, "It was all my fault. I shouldn't have..."

"Forget it," Du Feiya curled her lips, "I've heard enough similar words today."

"Let's talk about this after we can get out alive."

"Yes, yes." Li Yin responded hurriedly, a hint of hope reappearing on his face, but then he became cautious, as if he was afraid of accidentally annoyed her and let this glimmer of hope fly away.

Du Feiya glanced at him sideways, and her heart was filled with joy as she saw his blood-red little face filled with shyness, admiration and infatuation.

Logically, after verifying that the other party was not lying, she should have lifted the charm immediately, but - she suddenly remembered that she might have been like this before, and her pretty face turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Let him do this first, as a form of revenge. Who made him do this first?

"If the roles were reversed, I would let you know what cruelty is!" Du Feiya suddenly remembered the motto of an evil little wizard in a black magic book she had read before.

I just left him alone and didn't use this opportunity to do anything more to him, which was already considered magnanimous. Du Feiya's lips curled up slightly.

"So what should we do now?" Li Yin asked worriedly after a moment's hesitation. "How can we find a way out?"

Du Feiya was about to speak, but suddenly a look of embarrassment appeared on her cold face, because she suddenly recalled what she had just said.

"What's wrong?" Li Yin, who noticed her strangeness, asked carefully, his tone became more cautious, as if he suspected that his previous remarks had been inappropriate and had angered her. Du Feiya was very pleased to see his nagging expression, and she wanted to do something to him and control him severely.

Du Feiya cleared her throat twice.

"Nothing," she continued coldly, sniffing lightly, as if she was quite disdainful of the problem that Li Yin was worried about. "If you want to get out, it's actually very simple. Let's go now."

"Leave?" Li Yin suddenly looked up and looked at her in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that she could just leave without any hesitation.

"Yeah," Du Feiya responded calmly.

After a while, when the feeling of astonishment lingered in Li Yin's heart for a while, she spoke softly and told the story.

"I have a scroll of pathfinding. This is the last and most reliable means of survival. We can ask the gods directly to show us the way."

"This is a six-ring divine spell specifically used for finding a path. Both the spell level and the clarity of the revelation obtained are incomparable to divination." Her silver eyebrows trembled slightly as she explained with pride.

"Using it, we can—" she paused, reviewing what she had said before, carefully omitting the word 'easily', "find a way out of this maze."

Chapter 138 Return

Li Yin nodded excitedly.

Du Feiya saw with satisfaction that the admiration in her good friend's eyes became even stronger.

"Well, let's go." After saying that, she waved her hand and a blue ray surged out from her fingertips, hitting the spider web that bound Li Yin tightly, breaking the spider web spell.

"Yeah yeah!" Li Yin responded happily, walking forward and stretching his somewhat stiff body.

"Wait!" Just as Du Feiya was about to turn around, his joyful expression suddenly froze, and he stood there in a daze, shouting out.

"What's wrong?" Du Feiya looked at him curiously.

Li Yin first raised his head and glanced at her, then lowered his head in embarrassment and said timidly:

"I, we should go back..."

"Yes," Du Feiya responded as a matter of course, "We should go back. Aren't we going back soon?"

"No--" His tone became more timid, as if he was afraid of angering her, "I mean, should we... go back and find Princess Cassia first... and then... go back with her?"

Du Feiya was stunned at first, and then felt displeased instinctively.

"Why?" she asked unhappily.

"Isn't it perfect? ​​We can go together, and Princess Cassia..." She hesitated for a moment and used a more euphemistic term, "stay here."

"This way, no one will pursue you, and everyone will be happy, right?"

"It's not that simple," Li Yin shook his head.

"Think about it, if Princess Cassia... stayed here, her slaves would magically appear in the Denitya family and in your team, Princess Dufiya."

"What do you think the Borgia family would think?"

Du Feiya was slightly stunned. She thought for a moment, then said, "I will hide you well."

"It's impossible to hide forever," Li Yin shook his head, a look of loss on his face, "I..."

Du Feiya was slightly shocked. She knew exactly what Li Yin meant. If she took him away, the final result would be that he would be kept in hiding forever. Wouldn't this be like a prisoner? It would be worse than when he was with Princess Cassia.

"Besides, you can't just hide it if you want to. Think about it, your sisters and brothers..."

Du Feiya's eyes narrowed. Yes, this is indeed a problem. If she takes Li Yin back, this matter must be kept absolutely secret from the Borginia family - but her sisters and brothers may not think so. Especially her sisters, they should be very happy to see such an opportunity to put her in the vortex of the conflict between the two families and make her fall from grace. It may be easy for her to prevent the spies of the Borginia family, but it may be difficult to prevent the flow of information within her own family...

For a moment, Du Feiya was in hesitation.

Inadvertently, she looked at Li Yin again, but this glance suddenly made her aware of something unusual.

At this moment, Li Yin's face was not only filled with worry, but also with a hint of embarrassment - however, this hint of embarrassment should never appear on his face. Shouldn't he just be worried about how to deal with Cassia? Shouldn't the expression on his face be only cautious and afraid? Why was he ashamed? This expression seemed as if he had something else that he should have told her but didn't confess?

Du Feiya's expression became serious and his brows were stern.

"Li Yin," she cleared her throat twice and straightened her voice, "It seems to be more than just this?"

"You seem to have something else to say - is there something you are hiding from me?"

"I, I..." As expected, Li Yin immediately looked anxious, his face flushed, and a few beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

"In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there are other reasons--" A thought flashed through Du Feiya's mind instinctively.

"——It's you, you don't want her to die?" she asked with a bad look.

Li Yin pursed his lips and didn't answer immediately, but the color on his face became darker and the sweat on his forehead became more and more obvious.

"You just promised that you would not lie to me and would completely open your heart to me..." Du Feiya reminded with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Yes... yes..." Finally, he moved his lips and admitted it.

Du Feiya's face fell instantly.

A strong sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

"Why?" she asked again, coldly.

"Because..." Li Yin paused and replied hesitantly, "Princess Cassia has never hurt me. Not only that, she even saved my life."

"Although, I know very well that these are the effects of the charm spell. But after all, she herself has never hurt me."

"So, I think I shouldn't hurt her for no reason, or let her die without helping her..."

Du Feiya nodded and looked at him with a little surprise, "Is that all?"

Li Yin also nodded and looked at her in surprise, as if to say, "Isn't this enough?"

Du Feiya calmed down a little.

"Besides," Li Yin's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he said to her excitedly, "I suddenly figured it out."

"Perhaps it was destined that we would go back to rescue Princess Cassia."

Du Feiya looked at him in surprise.

Before she could ask further questions, Li Yin continued:

"The oracle is true. You are the savior and the hope."

"Princess Cassia did not deceive us. The Spider Goddess did give her the right revelation - and in finding you, I have found the right path."

He looked excited and talked with great relish, but Du Feiya looked a little dull.

"Maybe," she said indifferently, "but it's a pity that I don't really worship her goddess."

Not only that, she felt inexplicably annoyed when she saw how excited Li Yinna was about being able to rescue Cassia in a natural way.

"But," she thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and reminded him one last time, "You better think about it carefully."

"I understand that you don't want to hurt her feelings, but if you want to rescue her and get out together, does that mean you can't come with me after we get out?"

Li Yin was stunned for a moment, and although he looked a little reluctant, he still said "hmm" softly.
