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

"what?"

"So, you're mine tonight."

"Wait……"

Volume 1: Chapter 605 Your gaze is a little bit perverted

The next day, when Elise went downstairs to have dinner, she found Nora and Elena slumped in their chairs with bruises and swelling on their faces. Even in their condition, the two were still kicking and stomping on each other.

They looked like two little kids who hadn't grown up.

However, with the appearance of Elise, the two of them restrained themselves a little.

"What's wrong with you all?" Elise asked curiously.

"Those two didn't sleep at night, they went to Hope Land to fight, and they fought really hard, and that's how it ended up like this," Lily muttered.

She slept soundly last night, even dreaming that she pinned down that wicked woman, Elise, and taught her a lesson. But before the dream had even begun, she felt an extremely strong energy fluctuation.

She thought something had happened on Longyuan's side, but when she got there, she found Elena and Nora having a great time fighting. To prevent them from making a mistake, Lily sat by the side all night out of boredom, and almost got hurt several times.

She felt a little sleepy, and her dream of teaching the bad woman a lesson was gone, sob sob sob.

"You two didn't get carried away, did you?" Elise said, releasing her life force to quickly heal the two men's bodies.

"Well, it wasn't that exciting, it's just that it's a rare opportunity to have so much fun, and I didn't want to give it up so easily," Nora explained softly.

“Yes, yes, me too,” Elena added.

Elise smiled helplessly and said, "Do whatever you want. As long as no one dies, it's fine. But it's best not to waste your energy on fighting for fun in the coming days. If nothing unexpected happens, the god-making ceremony will begin soon."

"Hmm." Elena certainly knew what was important and what wasn't, but last night she was supposed to spend a sweet and sticky night in Elise's room, but Nora ruined it.

Who wouldn't be angry?

Nora had a similar idea, so the two got into a fight.

After healing both of them, Elise said with a look of disgust, "Alright, you two hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes, you're all dirty."

After Elise left, Elena and Nora exchanged a silent glance, both seeing resentment in each other's eyes.

"Continue next time."

"Right on my mind."

With two cold snorts, the two silently went upstairs to shower and change clothes.

Just as Elise was having her meal, her butler respectfully approached her and whispered, "Miss, there is a young lady outside named Celia who wants to see you."

Hearing the butler's words, Elise raised an eyebrow: "Bring her over here."

"Yes."

Soon, Celia arrived at the dining room with the butler. Seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the table, Celia couldn't help but swallow.

"If you don't mind, please sit down and have something to eat."

"I definitely wouldn't mind."

Although their beliefs were opposed, they had cooperated several times before, so Celia didn't stand on ceremony and started eating and drinking heartily after sitting down.

After the other person had finished eating and drinking, Elise asked curiously, "So, you came all this way to find me, not just to mooch breakfast from my family, right?"

“How could that be? Do I look like someone who’s short of a meal?” Celia was still holding a piece of cake in her hand, and there were bread crumbs on the corner of her mouth. Her words were not convincing at all.

“I guess you came to see me specifically because it’s related to some big event that’s about to happen?” Elise picked up her coffee and took a sip.

“It’s so much easier talking to smart people,” Celia readily admitted the purpose of her trip.

Elise carefully recalled the questline related to Celia, but it wasn't related to the god-making ritual. Moreover, Celia didn't appear in the god-making rituals she had experienced before.

In other words, her appearance is also part of the shift in the world line.

"If I'm not mistaken, your presence here is probably related to the God of War, isn't it?"

Celia, who was still stuffing dessert into her mouth, paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "That's right, I came here for the God of War. Strictly speaking, it should be my benefactor who has his eye on war."

"Your benefactor is truly ambitious, actually attempting to seize the power of war."

"War also has its eyes on the authority of our benefactor, and this god-making ceremony is indeed a very good opportunity, both for me and for you."

Although she cooperated with the Empire during the war, she could also cooperate with Elise.

Although death and love are both mortal enemies, there are differences between mortal enemies, such as the difference between dying a little earlier and dying a little later.

Cupid is the kind of person who can die a little later.

She also believed that Elise needed help, since she certainly didn't want to see the war resume.

The two exchanged a knowing glance, both seeing the intention to cooperate in each other's eyes. Elise even raised her coffee and said, "Cheers to our cooperation."

"Cheers." Celia raised her glass of milk and gently clinked it against Iris's, both of them smiling simultaneously.

After finishing her milk, Celia coughed twice and said, "Now that we've decided to cooperate, I'll stay here with you for the time being. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"I bet you're just trying to freeload at my place, aren't you?"

"How could that be? I am a follower of death." Although she said that, Celia still felt inexplicably guilty when facing Iris.

She's used all the money she's earned lately to buy intelligence or rare corpses, and she only has a few gold coins left. While she's not exactly homeless, it would be best if someone could lend her a hand.

"Fine, since you're my business partner, I'll let you freeload. What can I do? I'm so broke all I have left is money," Elise said helplessly.

For some reason, Celia really wanted to give Elise a piece of her mind, but she didn't want to slap her in the face. After all, Elise's face was too beautiful, just a little too vibrant. It would be best if she could die.

"Don't look at me like I'm a corpse, it's a bit perverted."

"I can't help it, I quite like you, if you could turn into a corpse," Celia said without any attempt to hide it.

"Don't forget this is my territory. If anyone else hears you say that, you'll get beaten up."

Celia was about to say she wasn't afraid when she saw Lily skipping into the restaurant, and she silently shut her mouth.

She really couldn't defeat a ninth-tier being.

Volume 1: Chapter 606 You Help Me

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Lily looked puzzled upon seeing Celia, but she wasn't particularly wary, since even though Celia was a follower of death, she was still far inferior to her.

Furthermore, since death is always pursuing life, the relationship between the two is actually quite good.

“She’s our partner now, though it’s only temporary,” Elise explained.

"That looks like it's going to be really lively," Lily muttered softly as she sat down casually next to Iris.

"Ah."

There are already multiple factions openly involved, and when the ceremony actually takes place, the entire empire will likely descend into chaos.

However, this is exactly what Elise hoped for. As long as the empire falls into chaos, the war will certainly be unable to continue.

Furthermore, with the God of Death targeting her, Elise even had a slight desire to seize control of the war.

However, she quickly dismissed the idea. After all, although she had quite a few main characters on her side, they had not yet fully matured. If she were to seize control of the war, she would definitely be targeted in various ways.

Even hiding in the Land of Hope wouldn't make a difference in this kind of targeting.

After trying to regain her composure, Elise quietly got up and said, "I have something to do and I need to go out for a bit."

"Do you need me to come with you?" Lily asked.

"No need, I'll go find Vivian."

"Ok."

A ninth-tier expert's perception range is very wide, and Vivian lives not far from the Elise Manor, so Lily can clearly perceive everything around her even sitting here.

When Elise arrived at Vivian's house, Vivian had just gotten up.

Looking at Vivian, who was wearing a thin nightgown and still looked a little sleepy, Iris couldn't help but smile, charmed by her cuteness.

Sensing Elise's gaze, Vivian quickly composed herself and asked, "Why did you come here?"

“Of course I came to keep you company,” Elise said matter-of-factly.

“At this critical moment, I don’t think you would do such a thing.”

"How could that be? I'm very worried about you. By the way, just a reminder to stay home as much as possible these days." Elise briefly explained the pregnancy to Vivian.

After hearing Elise's words, even Vivian's expression became somewhat subtle, and she even silently checked her own body.

After all, some effects happen without you even noticing, and you won't be able to detect them at all if you don't check carefully.

Seeing Vivian's caution, Elise smiled and said, "You don't need to worry too much. The one attached to you should be able to protect you well. The main problem is probably with your subordinates."

After confirming that she was fine, Vivian summoned her personal maid and instructed her to conduct a self-examination.

After her personal maid left the room, Vivian looked at Elise again. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was quite clear.

Elise chuckled softly, then moved closer to Vivian, reached out and gently lifted her into the wheelchair.

"I think you don't need to pretend you have a health problem anymore."

"You think I'm too much trouble?" Vivian glanced at Elise.

"How could that be? On the contrary, I quite like this feeling, especially when I'm teasing you."

Ignoring Elise's quirky humor, Vivian said calmly, "It's just a habit, and why stand when you can sit?"

"You didn't catch it from me, did you?"

"Hmm, so you're going to take responsibility?"

“Of course, so how do you plan to make me take responsibility?” Elise licked her lips.

"Wait until this matter is settled..." Vivian's words were cut off by Elise's pinched mouth.

Vivian slapped Elise's hand away with a look of disgust. If it was just covering her, that would be one thing, but why did this woman have to pinch her?

"Don't say such unlucky things."

Vivian instinctively wanted to refute, but at that moment she couldn't help but recall what Elise had said when she completed the final step of her plan.

"Let's go out for a walk together after this is all over!"

Unpleasant memories made Vivian unconsciously grip the armrests of her wheelchair tighter.

Seeing Vivian suddenly fall silent, Elise couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that what I just said was indeed unlucky."

"Judging from your reaction, are you thinking about what I said before?"

"Yes, I remember you said you would be fine, but when I saw you again, you were already in the dungeon."

"You...liar."

Although she was called a fraud, Elise didn't care. She just smiled helplessly and said, "There was nothing I could do. If I hadn't made it real back then, the Empire would have been in chaos for a long time, which would have done you no good."

Have you thought about yourself?

"Someone as selfish as me would naturally think of myself first, but... when some things are irreversible, even I can only deal with them in a way that maximizes my own interests."

Elise was telling the truth. If it weren't a certain death situation, why would she want to die? After all, she stayed by Vivian's side, giving her advice, acting as her dog, and giving her everything she had, all so that she could survive.

But then again, seeing Vivian's resentful expression, Elise felt that her death back then was worthwhile.

No, just thinking about Vivian crying makes my body excited.

Vivian gave Elise a strange look. The two of them had just been talking about the past, and she didn't know what the woman was thinking about, but she started to blush.

Realizing her lapse in composure, Elise coughed lightly twice and said, "What happened before is in the past. You can completely pretend that nothing happened."

"Easy for you to say." Vivian snorted and ignored Elise as she wheeled herself into the bathroom.

As her intimate encounters with Elise increased, so did the number of memories she awakened. The more memories she awakened, the more she found it impossible to ignore the things she had done.

Just as Vivian was staring blankly at the mirror, Elise appeared behind her without her noticing.

"Why are you standing here in a daze? Are you waiting for me to help you?" Elise whispered in Vivian's ear.

“Okay, you help me.” Vivian handed the toothbrush to Iris.

Volume 1: Chapter 607 Someone Stole the Day

The two of them spent almost an hour dawdling in the bathroom, even though it was just a simple wash-up.
