Chapter 364 - 10: The Experienced Virgin
In Yuanshi Territory, Westheid had been waiting for a reply from the Royal Court since their initial meeting.
During these few days, Westheid and his companions took the opportunity to relax and explore Yuanshi Territory. Its similarity to the City in the Lake meant they could consider it a chance to acclimate ahead of time.
"Xavier has received a reply. The Royal Court has agreed to the alliance. Now, we just need to sign the treaty, and then we can arrange for the legions to enter the Land of Rhythm. Of course, I will also be organizing a force to go."
At a dining table on the High Court Balcony, Luyetan spoke to Westheid, who sat across from her, as she ate with elegance.
"They’re quite efficient. Given the Royal Court’s usual state of affairs, I thought they’d haggle for days."
Westheid sounded rather surprised. "I was even prepared to spend a month or two sightseeing in Yuanshi Territory."
"In the past, it might have been that bad. The Royal Court nobles were always fiercely contentious, dragging out even the most trivial matters for ages due to their different stances. But now... heheh, there are only a few people left in the Central Royal Court who have any real say."
Luyetan speared a piece of fruit with her fork, but instead of bringing it directly to her mouth, she slid it before her cherry-red lips.
Her dark golden eyes, which seemed to speak on their own, felt like they could pull the very soul from one’s body as they stared directly at Westheid.
This made Reiya, who was sitting beside Westheid, frown in confusion.
The Lord of Yuanshi Territory, already bewitchingly beautiful, had undergone a distinct change over the past few days. ’How to describe it... More alluring, like a flower glistening with dew?’
It was as if a once-restrained charm had been completely unleashed. Though her clothes and conduct hadn’t changed, the air about her every move was vastly different. Luyetan just seemed to be overflowing with allure.
And she was directing this charm at Westheid almost constantly. It was a blatant display.
Reiya wouldn’t have found it strange if something had happened between Luyetan and Westheid. After all, Yuanshi Territory was a valuable ally. It would be an excellent way for West to expand his influence by using his "special" ability to secure her, and there was no reason to object.
The Silver-haired Princess simply wanted to be there to mercilessly mock the woman who had once boasted so shamelessly to West, who had tried to threaten and entice him. She wanted to watch as Westheid twisted her into a completely wretched state.
Every time she might stick out her tongue or roll her eyes—it would all have to be recorded for future verbal sparring.
Although Reiya and Mivana could fight Westheid to a standstill, they knew they were special cases. To everyone else, Westheid was an utterly malevolent and terrifying Star Beast, a Super Wheel King.
But the problem was, she had been practically inseparable from Westheid these past few days. He’d had hardly any opportunities to be alone with Luyetan. ’There couldn’t have been any chance, could there?’
She never would have guessed that Westheid was communicating with Luyetan in her dreams. And due to the special nature of the Enchanter Bloodline, things could get even more wild in the dreamscape.
The wretched state the White-haired Dragon Lady had hoped to see had occurred in the dreamscape an unknown number of times.
And yet, all of this was purely an experience of the spiritual world. In reality, Westheid and Luyetan had no physical relationship, meaning the latter had, in a sense, achieved the status of an "experienced virgin."
Just thinking about it was incredibly lewd.
After pondering fruitlessly, Reiya gave up trying to figure it out and said:
"So, according to the treaty, we can’t enter the Land of Rhythm for the time being?"
Luyetan licked the corner of her lips and said:
"Ah, that’s what the treaty says. Not too many Legendary Celestial Rank Powerhouses can enter. The standards can be relaxed a bit for the Yonglan Knights, but you two—you and her—no. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too powerful."
Luyetan pointed a finger at Reiya and Mivana, a meaningful smile spreading across her face.
Compared to other Legendary Powerhouses, the Three Illusionary Gods, led by Westheid, had certainly made a name for themselves. Even in the tens of millions of years of the Mortal World’s history, existences like them—practically invincible among their peers—were rare.
One Legend being able to fight several other Legends was already absurd enough. But if the Three Illusionary Gods joined forces, the effect was greater than the sum of their parts—1+1+1 > 3. They had clearly become a force that the Mortal World could not afford to ignore.
Mivana stuffed a large amount of food into her mouth and complained:
"We’re supposed to be fighting Demons, but they won’t let us go all out. It makes no sense."
"Don’t be too upset, Mivana."
Westheid, however, appeared nonchalant and smiled.
"The Thousand Laws Royal Court has always been this exclusive, after all. Don’t be impatient. I’ll go scout things out first. Once I’ve gained their trust, I’ll find a way to bring you two over as well. We have to do things one step at a time."
Duke Qinghui was quite confident, anyway. He hadn’t just been "sparring" with Luyetan these past few nights; he had also thoroughly extracted all of her intelligence on the Royal Court. That damn Thousand Laws Royal Court’s isolationism was just too severe. Luyetan knew more of the inside stories than most, since she was practically one of the Royal Court People herself.
And the results he’d obtained were extremely satisfactory. Westheid could say that they were even better than the best-case scenario he had imagined.
The very traits that Emperor Qianlu had once bestowed upon his favored subjects had ultimately become a boon for Westheid himself.
’This whole charm business... The Enchanter Bloodline is merely second-rate. It’s the Qinghui Bloodline that’s truly indispensable!’
Luyetan dabbed her mouth with a napkin, rose to her feet, and said:
"If you two don’t mind, you can wait here in Yuanshi Territory for the time being. I’ll be heading to the Royal Court as well, and I happen to need trustworthy people to guard this place. I trust you both completely, you see."
