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

I can't just fight a losing battle, can I? I'm sure my benefactor won't blame me.

Watching the figures disappear into the dense forest, the maid beside her said with a murderous look on her face, "Miss, shouldn't we take this opportunity to send someone up to chase after them?"

"There's no need for that; I know their movements."

Although Elise, influenced by the Pleasure Mark, harbored a life-or-death hostility towards Celia, she came up with an even more intriguing idea: she wondered if she could somehow bewitch Celia.

No matter how you look at it, the thought of bewitching the confidant of Eloise's nemesis to your side is undeniably exciting.

Before entering the Void City, she might not have had such thoughts, but after discovering the Church of Aphrodite in the Void City, her charm abilities were enhanced.

Although the exchange between the two was very brief, Elise still managed to leave a deep impression on Celia's mind during that short time.

"I wish we could have a few more encounters like this," Elise thought to herself.

"Should we really not chase after the person who just escaped?"

The elven elder, who had already resolved the issue, came to Elise's side. This was an important partner for the elven race, and it would be best to nip the threat in the bud if possible.

"No need, they won't be able to cause trouble for a while, but our people may have to leave first, it's not appropriate to stay in the Storm Mountains."

Although these elves are the elite of their race, they are still elves after all. Who knows if a powerful being on the verge of death might hear about the elves' activities and come to capture them to refine an elixir of immortality?

The elven elders had clearly considered this as well, and upon returning to their camp, they began preparing to leave.

It was at this time that Elise also noticed a problem: Nora didn't seem to have returned yet.

She looked at the maid and asked, "Have you seen Nora?"

"No, she wasn't back when I came back," the maid said softly.

"I'll take a look then."

Fortunately, Nora had a habit of throwing insect eggs as she went out, so Elise found her quickly this time without even having to use the Mirror of Omniscience.

Nora could be seen walking back listlessly, and Elise could see weakness in her.

She guessed that Nora probably didn't know she had come out of the Void City, so she didn't use the bugs to contact her.

Elise didn't take the initiative to contact anyone; she simply had Sally teleport over and bring Nora back.

Nora, who was enduring the pain in her body and hurrying back, suddenly sensed something. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Sally's familiar figure.

Before she could even speak, Sally grabbed her hand and teleported her back to the camp.

Nora was stunned for a moment when she returned to the camp, then she reacted and said, "You guys came out so quickly?"

"With me here, how much time can we possibly waste? But why do you look so exhausted? Did you secretly go find other pretty girls while I was in the Void City?" Elise looked at Nora with a wronged expression.

Nora, who had been falsely accused, didn't care about Elise's performance. She just lazily lay on the table and said, "There's nothing I can do. The one inside me borrowed my body, and I really feel like I've been hollowed out."

Hearing Nora's words, Elise couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She was very curious about why the Valkyrie was using Nora's body.

Is there anything around here?

Elise tried to recall the details, but found no relevant information. She even took out a map and looked at it carefully, but still couldn't think of anything nearby that the Valkyrie would care about.

Seeing Elise's conflicted expression, Nora blinked and asked, "Do you want to know what the person inside me is doing using my body?"

"Hmm, you shouldn't be able to tell me something like this, right?"

“It’s alright, He said He could tell you.” Nora didn’t keep you in suspense and continued, “He used my body to find His own body.”

(II) 揪龄吾厁芭lL柒盈陕磷梦

"His body?"

Elise frowned slightly. If she remembered correctly, there were records in the game that in the battle between the Valkyrie and the God of War, the Valkyrie was ambushed by the God of War and almost perished. Her body had been obliterated, leaving only her shattered soul.

If the Valkyrie's body is still there, why didn't I see her retrieve it when I was dying and coming back to life before?

Or perhaps He had already taken back His body, but simply didn't realize it?

But why, why would the Valkyrie tell her this? Was it to lower her guard? Or was there some other scheme involved?

I wonder what changes will occur to the Valkyrie after she regains her body or a part of it?

Elise carefully examined Nora's physical condition and found that apart from being a little weak, there was nothing wrong with her.

Feeling Elise's small hands exploring her body, Nora knew she was concerned about her, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Well, He told me to tell you that He only took back a part of His body, and it won't pose any threat to me or you."

"You can't just believe what other people say."

"Can't we just believe everything you say?" Nora looked directly at Elise.

Although Elise enjoyed teasing her, Nora trusted her completely. She didn't know where this trust came from; perhaps it was from memories of her past life.

Elise was completely taken aback by Nora's words. After a moment of stunned silence, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Of course you can believe me. I've never lied to you, and I wouldn't dare to lie to you."

Although Elise hasn't lied to her so far, for some reason, Nora always feels that this bad woman has lied to her, but it's just a feeling.

"If there's nothing else, let's get ready to head back."

"Are you going back now?"

"Yes, go back and make proper plans for the trip to the Cursed Fertile Land."

Seeing Nora's eagerness, Elise said irritably, "Don't even think about it. Only Theresa and I can go there together."

"But I remember that once you enter the cursed fertile land, you will be cursed to death."

"That's right, that's why we're here."

Nora may be a bit slow-witted, but she's not stupid. After hearing Elise's words, she naturally thought of the World Tree, and once she understood, she didn't say anything more.

Elise planned to return to the manor first, since she had Sally as her mount and could travel to the Cursed Fertile Land at any time.

With that in mind, she went directly to the elder of the Elf race and took the World Tree back from her.

During the handover, the elven elders were very reluctant to part with it, and after some back and forth with Elise, Elise finally took the World Tree back.

After the World Tree came into Elise's hands, its roots began to spread from her palms again, attempting to cover her entire body, much like the tentacle monsters in some works.

However, under Iris's control, the World Tree quickly quieted down.

The root only pierced Elise's arm, and after absorbing some blood, it turned into a small tree mark on her wrist, but it disappeared quickly.

At this moment, Elise could feel a continuous surge of life force within her body. Under such circumstances, even if she suffered a minor fatal injury, she would probably be completely healed in the blink of an eye.

If she hadn't already reached a cooperation agreement with the elves, she would have been tempted.

Volume 1: Chapter 319 She Must Be Beautiful After Death

"Celia, why did you suddenly attack her just now?"

After finally escaping the Storm Mountains, Celia's adventurer party hid in a secluded cave.

Her A-rank adventurer team consisted of only four people, all of whom were her friends and quite strong, but they were basically unable to participate in the battle just now.

There are simply too many seventh-tier beings on the other side.

“You all know my situation. It was my benefactor who told me to kill her. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have attacked her the moment we met.” Celia rubbed her temples. As soon as she closed her eyes, the beautiful face of the blonde girl appeared in her mind, along with the eerie heart-shaped mark that flickered in the girl’s eyes.

She felt like she had seen that mark somewhere before.

Right, she remembered, it was the mark of the goddess of love, or rather... the mark of the goddess of pleasure.

That makes sense.

The god of death and the god of love are mortal enemies. According to records, the god of love has fallen. Although it is unknown why the other party has the mark of the god of love, it is normal for her benefactor to ask her to kill that blonde girl.

Although the opponent's strength doesn't seem particularly high, there are far too many powerful individuals surrounding them, so killing them in the short term is out of the question.

Moreover, those two seventh-tier beings were elves, something she had never seen before in her life. She wondered what kind of special abilities the undead summoned using elf corpses as material would possess.

However, she wanted the blonde girl's corpse even more, which bore the mark of Cupid. If she were to resurrect it as a ghost, it would be quite a sight, wouldn't it?

Thinking of this, a fervent excitement flashed in Celia's eyes.

7. "So what are you going to do now?"

"Let's improve our strength first. As long as I can break through to the seventh rank, then all problems will be solved."

Ling Mengqi⊙"Ba Wusi Liuqi=fin

She has already used power above the seventh rank. As long as she comprehends it properly during this time, she won't need to spend much time mastering the surge in power after breaking through to the seventh rank.

Meanwhile, Elise returned to the elven camp.

They were now ready to leave, since the elves rarely appeared in the eyes of the world, and the actions of the two seventh-tier elves had already revealed their existence.

Although the elves here are the elite of the elite, the temptation of the elixir of immortality is too great, and they must leave immediately.

The elder of the elven race looked at Elise and her party who were about to leave and solemnly said, "Miss Elise, please be sure to protect the World Tree."

"You've reminded me five times already. The World Tree isn't as fragile as you think, so you can rest assured," Elise said with a hint of helplessness.

The World Tree of the Forest of Sanctuary became like that because of the erosion by the winds of calamity; otherwise, it could have recovered on its own, no matter how severe the damage.

"You should leave too." To avoid further nagging, Elise said this and quickly reached out to poke Sally, who was still in a daze.

Elise and her group disappeared from the elves' sight in an instant.

After she left, a seventh-tier elf whispered, "Elder, is it really alright for the World Tree to be in her hands?"

"Don't worry, she is His chosen one and won't do anything to make things difficult for us." The elven elder seemed to trust Elise completely, and after saying this, he turned into flower petals and vanished in the wind.

……

"Home is definitely the most comfortable place."

Back at the manor, Elise stretched lazily and then immediately instructed her maid to prepare for a bath.

She had originally planned to take a break during this time, but just then Elena approached her and said, "Cursed Fertile Land, are you really going to go with Theresa alone?"

"Yes, although the Cursed Fertile Land is dangerous, I will be fine with the protection of the World Tree."

"But……"

"There are no 'buts'. While I'm gone, you can go back to your old ways and take risks. Or are you just going to miss me?"

Feeling Elise's direct gaze, Elena guiltily avoided eye contact. Fortunately, Elise didn't use her power of order this time, so she could still be a little defiant: "How could that be? I'm just worried that if the employer dies, I won't get the gold coins."

"If I accidentally die, then my gold coins are yours."

"what?"

Elena paused for a moment. In the past, she might have continued the conversation after hearing this, but at this moment, she couldn't help but think of a question she had asked Elise.

She once asked Elise if she would become a rich woman in the future, and Elise gave an affirmative answer.

Could it be that my becoming a rich woman is based on the premise that Elise dies?

if that is the case……

Just as Elena was lost in thought, she suddenly felt her hand being pulled. Before she could react, she was already being pulled into the large bathroom.

Why did you pull me in here?

“You definitely didn’t shower after you came back; you smell.”

"what?"

Seeing Elena, she subconsciously sniffed her own scent, but before she could smell anything, she heard Elise's clear laughter.

Without a second thought, hearing that laughter, he knew it was Elise teasing him.

She glared at Elise with annoyance, but didn't leave. After all, she hadn't showered for a few days and wanted to take this opportunity to get a good bath.

Seeing Elena come in with Iris, the little maid couldn't help but pout. That white-haired girl was really annoying; she even had to come in when her mistress was taking a bath.

She completely ignored the fact that Elena had been pushed in by Iris.

After washing herself with the help of a maid, Elise lazily soaked in the bath before taking out the core of Fa Zhou.

The phantom of Fa Zhou appeared directly beside Elise, wearing a sweet smile: "Master, is there anything you need?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I promised your father I would take good care of you, so you can come out whenever you want, instead of always hiding in the core."

"Yes, Master." The illusory image of Fa Zhou did not return to the core, but hovered beside Iris, its eyes fixed on her, a faint light flashing in them.

"Why are you staring at Miss's body like that?!" The maid looked at the phantom of Fa Zhou with a wary expression.

“I am scanning the master’s physical condition.” Fa Zhou’s tone remained gentle, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
