Flavi's Strange Behavior
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Flavi saw Anya's beautifully decorated room. She hadn't expected Anya to have such good taste; to decorate her boudoir like this clearly showed she had her own understanding of various things. Looking at the various handmade items, Flavi began to feel a sense of identification with Anya.
While lost in thought, Flavi suddenly noticed a tiny white dot. Puzzled, she Earth Flow Anya's bedside, grabbed the dot, and revealed its true form.
This... this is! Flavi's face flushed as she stared at the small white triangle of panties in front of her. "Pah! What a slut! Exposing something so shameful, and only a tiny white spot showing! Aren't you trying to seduce men?"
(Yunxue: I want to speak up for Anya! She was just shy and hurriedly tried to hide it, but she didn't hide it properly. I think you're overthinking it. Also, I personally think you're the one who's secretly a pervert. Why is it that all the women who are involved with Issui are bad? You're too confident. Issui didn't even like you. He likes Nicole, who has a youthful face and big breasts.)
Flavi stared at the panties in her hand for a moment, a surge of heat rising within her. She hurriedly tucked the panties back under the sheet, restoring them to their original state, the Little Haku spot still exposed. She couldn't let Anya discover she'd touched her panties; otherwise, her carefully cultivated image would be ruined. And if word got out, she'd be finished—she'd be dead.
After putting away that shameful thing, Flavi left the bed and slowly and carefully searched the room for Anya Issui. Honestly, where did those two adulterers go?
In the Sumeru Space, Issui and Anya accompanied Nicole for dinner, which consisted of fruit. Anya and Nicole ate with relish, while Issui grew tired of it. He found the first piece of fruit delicious, the second and the third, but by the fourth, he felt unwell. He wasn't an elf; what good would eating this stuff do? He only ate water, and by the fifth piece, he couldn't eat anymore. He hated Issui; he couldn't stand the experience of eating fruit as a meal. When would he be able to eat normal human food again?
"What's wrong? Can't you get used to the food? Oh dear, I completely forgot you're a human and can't eat our elf food. How about we go back and find you something else to eat?" Anya noticed Issui's predicament and offered her suggestion.
"Hmph, ignore him, boss. Let's finish eating first. Whether he eats it or not is up to him. It's such delicious fruit, and he won't eat it. What a strange guy," Nicole said, turning away from Anya.
Issui was completely exasperated with this pretty girl. He had given up on her and given up on her completely. This burden was much harder to deal with Fini. Fini just wanted to have a dragon baby, but was this girl created to humiliate him? She was a violent maniac who was all show and no bite. Sleeping with her for one night, he would probably be a miracle if he survived until dawn.
Seeing Issui's dejected look, Anya suddenly felt sorry for him and wanted to help him, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble these two little ones would cause in the future. Anya patted Nicole's head and said, "Ke Yang can say that about him, and you're the closest person to him. The two of you shouldn't always be arguing. You need to learn to care for each other, understand? I'll take him out to find something to eat. You eat here first, and I'll come and keep you company after he finishes eating. You're leaving with him tomorrow, and I have so much to tell you."
Nicole glanced at Anya, then at Issui, and reluctantly said, "Fine, sis, you take him. I'll stay here by myself. But you absolutely have to come. Hey, and you too, remember to bring Anya back later, or I'll make you regret it, you hear me?"
"Okay, my little darling!" Issui yawned, clearly unimpressed by Nicole's words; he had become immune to Nicole talk.
"Alright, let's go..." Anya said as she walked to Issui's side. She gradually realized that this space belonged to Issui and was under his control. This was no ordinary method. Nicole could only be happy by following him.
"Okay, don't struggle..." Issui took Anya's small hand, closed her eyes, and her figure gradually blurred, disappearing from this world.
"Haha, just like brine curdling tofu, one thing subdues another. I never thought you could have him completely under your control. It's truly gratifying!" Leins laughed heartily after Issui left.
"Hmph, what's so funny? What's wrong with me talking to him? Is that not allowed? Little puppy, why can you talk?" Nicole said arrogantly.
"!!!"
Hearing this young girl refer to herself as a little puppy again, Leins's earlier satisfaction vanished, replaced by a surge of rage. If she weren't his master's woman, or a descendant of that old man Stosa, he would have killed her long ago. How could he tolerate her insolence? Well, he should just stay out of the picture; wasn't this just asking for trouble? This girl's words were quite shocking; it was best to stay away from her, otherwise, he was just asking for trouble.
As soon as Issui and Anya returned to Anya's room, they saw Flavi frantically searching for something. What was going on? What was this girl doing here?
"Ah... Your Highness, what brings you here?" Anya was very puzzled by Flavi's arrival. "How did she get in? I remember locking the door to the treehouse. She just barged in without any manners. Even though she's a princess, if she doesn't explain herself, even the Elf Queen wouldn't be allowed in. Isn't this an invasion of her privacy? It's outrageous!"
"Oh... you guys..."
Issui and Anya's sudden appearance in front of her startled Flavi. She then realized that she was in someone else's room and had broken down the door without being invited. How rude of her!
"What are you doing here, Flavi?" Issui asked, completely baffled as to what this girl was up to. Burglary? Probably not, she's an elf princess, she has everything.
"Oh... I came to find you. Didn't you ask me to go find something to eat with you? I heard you were at Anya's place, so I came looking for you. I knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no answer, so I came in," Flavi said, lying without even thinking.
"Is that so?" Anya doubted the truthfulness of Flavi's words.
"Yes, that's right. If you don't believe me, you can ask His Highness the Divine Child. He did invite me to dinner, but you pulled me away later, so I came here. After all, His Highness the Divine Child is a distinguished guest invited by us elves. How could I, as an elven princess, not entertain him? That would be too impolite, hahaha..." Now that things had come to this, Flavi could only bite the bullet and lie again.
"Really? I see. Then Your Highness, please take His Highness the Divine Child to dine with you. Oh, I forgot, His Highness the Divine Child doesn't like elven food and needs something else. I remember there's some wine and meat in the Whisper of the Wind Spirit's storeroom, left by our dwarf friends who visited the tribe a couple of days ago. But no elf has liked it, so it's just been sitting there. You two chat here for a while, I'll go get it." Anya thought to herself, "Your teacher is really impolite, but considering your status as an elven princess, I won't embarrass you in front of outsiders. If there's a next time, we'll see. I haven't been the big sister for so many years for nothing."
"Ah, alright, Anya, you go ahead. I'll stay here with Her Highness the Divine Child for a while." Flavi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally gotten through this hurdle. What had gotten into her this time? She had acted so impulsively. If Anya had insisted on questioning her, even as an elven princess, she wouldn't have escaped punishment.
"What are you doing here? And barging into someone's room! Luckily Anya isn't going to hold it against you, or you'd be in big trouble," Issui said to Flavi after Anya left the treehouse.
"Hmph, you asked me to come out together, but I was only a step too late, and you left with her. I was so anxious and angry, that's why I barged into her room." Flavi gave Issui look.
Feeling uneasy under Flavi's gaze, Issui sat in a wicker chair, lost in thought.
Seeing Issui's expression, Flavi became even angrier, stomped her foot on the ground, and sat on the bed, fuming.
"Here it is, the wine and meat are brought. Your Highness, please enjoy; these things should suit your taste. And Your Highness, I have also brought some fresh fruit for you."
A short while later, Anya returned with a lot of things in her hands. She placed a plate of roast meat and a bottle of red wine in front of Issui, and then gave Flavi some fresh fruit.
"Thank you for the treat. I'll gladly accept your hospitality." Seeing some more normal-looking food in front of her Issui finally had a hearty appetite and excitedly began to eat. Hmm, the taste was not bad.
"It's alright, it's what we should do," Anya said with a smile.
Flavi watched the two talking intimately and felt very uncomfortable. She bit into the fruit in her hand to vent her dissatisfaction.
"..."
Anya finally understood the reason for the princess's various unusual actions. It turned out to be jealousy. She liked His Highness the Divine Prince, but she was probably going to be disappointed. Nicole had beaten her to it. No matter what the princess was like, she couldn't compare to Nicole, who was like a younger sister to her. This was for the best. Since His Highness the Divine Prince ignored her, she would eventually have no choice but to give up.
After Issui and the others finished eating, Anya went into Issui's Sumeru World to chat with Nicole. Flavi arranged for Issui to stay in a relatively dry treehouse, Issui rested. They would have to set off for the Elf's capital, the City of Life, early the next morning.
Early the next morning, Issui, along with Flavi and Mach, set off for the Elf's capital, walking through the mist into the distance.
