The Girls Are All Coveting Me-Chapter 398 - 334: Elu, Exactly How Many Mistresses Have You Met?
Seeing Elu stubbornly refusing to repent, Chloe grabbed the cat’s behind and gave it two smacks.
Elu’s fur stood on end, screaming, "Cedric, come save me! Meow, ladies, save, save, save..."
Laura chuckled from the side and said, "I’m not your lady."
Elu paused for a moment, then continued wailing, "Doesn’t matter who, someone save me! Meow."
Aisha watched the scene from the side, feeling both sympathy and helplessness, but ultimately did not intervene.
She was contemplating a question in her mind.
So, Elu, how many ladies have you actually met?
But despite Elu’s meowing, he didn’t reveal a single word.
Chloe left out a bit of Cedric and said, "How’s your state? Can you still stand up?"
Cedric didn’t speak, just looked at Chloe, with a somewhat complex expression, and said:
"So this is your personality now."
"Looks like my future personality won’t be too good, otherwise why would you look so bitter?"
Cedric didn’t say anything. Chloe took that as tacit acceptance.
Aisha nudged Chloe, and Chloe said helplessly, "I’m not bullying him."
Aisha pursed her lips, embarrassed to say [you didn’t see the kid doesn’t even want to speak anymore].
Chloe looked up at Teresa and said, "Young Lady, I’ve taken the Dragon Lord’s Extraordinary Traits; just consider it a favor owed."
Teresa waved her hand saying, "I advanced so quickly because you lent a hand, so don’t mention that."
"Alright." Chloe nodded toward the Young Lady, then turned to Laura and said, "Senior, this time I’m really grateful for your help. Later, according to the price of these traits..."
"You really talk too much, this Saint’s Trait, even if you give it to me I don’t want it," Laura said with a smile, "If you really want to be nice, let me freeload at your Amber Hall cafeteria for four years in college, just provide more extraordinary ingredients."
"Ingredients..."
"Mm?"
"Plenty available."
"Exactly, there’s nothing a good meal can’t solve."
"Fratiss, you..." Chloe looked at the little foodie and said, "How do you want to handle this?"
Fratiss shook her head and said, "I’ll just follow Senior’s advice, Senior has already helped me so much."
He nodded.
Though he had anticipated Fratiss’s response, he still asked specifically.
Then he looked towards Master Heisha, ready to hear what his good student planned to say, only to see his student look away.
Heisha laughed angrily, grabbing Chloe’s head, "Why did you turn away when you wanted to talk to me? Do you think your mentor hasn’t helped you enough?"
Chloe said earnestly, "Master Heisha’s help to me is like family, how could I think it’s not enough?"
"Then what do you mean?"
"I’m just afraid of being an experiment subject." Chloe said leisurely, "I just saw your expectant eyes, surely wanting me to assist in your experiment, how could I not be afraid?"
Honestly, even for an oddball like Chloe, Heisha’s experiments still made him uneasy.
Of course.
Saying this might be a bit much.
Heisha’s experiments rarely put people at risk.
Hmm... meaning the final experiment results.
As for how dreadful the intermediate stages might be, that’s another story.
Chloe shivered just thinking about it.
God knows where Heisha got all those weird ideas, the fear of being her experiment subject is second only to an Asura Field erupting, slightly above starting a world war. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Heisha was stumped by Chloe’s candidness.
Because she did indeed want Chloe to help with her experiment.
"I don’t care, when we get back you’re coming over to help, I’ve exhausted years of reserves on this."
Heisha was getting frantic.
She might not necessarily need Chloe to be the experiment subject, but Chloe’s frightened expression was really irking her.
The more upset she was, the more she wanted him over.
Hearing Heisha’s words, Chloe instinctively looked at his mentor.
At this moment, this mentor’s clothes were stained with blood, her state wilting, not even recovery brought her back to status.
This showed that Heisha was fundamentally hurt.
To recover, not only vast resources were needed, but probably a good few months of rest too.
Chloe’s heart softened, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse anymore, rather he softly said:
"I’m agreeing but you need to properly rest for a while. I’ll routinely check your recovery progress, before you improve, you should refrain from high-level experiments."
"...Am I the mentor or are you the mentor?"
"Am I the experiment subject or are you the experiment subject?" Chloe rolled his eyes and said. "Rest well, you’ll have all the time to torment me later."
Heisha gave a light hum, not saying more.
Finally, Chloe looked at Tiffany.
Tiffany directly said, "When you have time, come to the Locke Empire to help me with something."
"Sure."
"You’re not going to ask what I’m having you help with?"
"If it’s excessive, would you mention it to me?"
"Nope, I wouldn’t want to bring trouble at home."
"Then there’s nothing more to say."
"You trust me that much?"
"I trust myself, if you push too far, do you think I’d agree?"
"...Could you not be so blunt?"
"We’ve both seen each other’s blood, no need to play games anymore."
"Roger that."
Tiffany shrugged.
After reaching a consensus with the four, Chloe looked at the other women.
Seeing no objections from them, she then said, "Cedric, there’s something wrong with your body’s condition. The influence of the Bottomless Abyss is too great on you."
Cedric said nothing.
How could it not affect him?
What kind of Demon Prince wouldn’t be influenced by the Abyss? This kind of Extraordinary Power fundamentally originates from the Abyss; it’s almost impossible to completely reject its influence.
Chloe waved her hand, and the Saint’s Extraordinary Traits of the White Bone Dragon Lord fell into his hands.
"You can take this Extraordinary Trait to digest and absorb."
"Huh?"
"Don’t think about rejecting it. The influence of the Abyss is deeper than you imagine. You’re still young; you can’t feel how troublesome the Bottomless Abyss truly is."
"But this Extraordinary Trait..."
"Yes, while it can also serve as material for the Abyssal Path, it actually weakens the Abyss’ influence over you instead."
"Is that so?"
"The Extraordinary Trait inside the White Bone Dragon Lord comes from two World Groups; the former is the Bator Hell, a paradise for Lawful Evil.
Though it contains evil elements, its orderly traits can help you restrain the chaotic nature of the Abyss.
And the Dragon Lord hails from the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, which has Extraordinary Traits that are in opposition to the Evil Faction, belonging to the Good Faction, counteracting the threat of the Abyssal Path.
Under normal circumstances, these two almost opposing forces shouldn’t be present in the same being..."
Cedric said nothing.
The situation with his old man was clearly abnormal.
An abnormal to the extent that the forces, which should be adversarial, had to come together to deal with him.
Only in such mutual cooperation could such a unity of opposites be created.
"But... isn’t this more useful for you all?"
Cedric hesitated.
Chloe said, "If I’m giving it to you, just take it, why say so much? Who else needs this kind of Extraordinary Trait besides Aisha? I have other plans for Aisha, so this thing, at most, will be sold if it stays with me."
Cedric felt very conflicted. Was this considered a gift for him?
But he ultimately did not continue to refuse.
Seeing his own blockhead of a son choose to accept, Chloe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If this kid didn’t take it, he wouldn’t know how to handle it either.
Cedric’s path was obviously astray.
If he’s not mistaken, in the time he couldn’t properly supervise him, Cedric likely had quite a bit of "nagging" from the hag Abyss.
Having experienced how bothersome the Abyss is himself, he certainly wouldn’t let his son suffer such consequences.
How could the Saint’s Extraordinary Traits be useless?
Even if it’s useless to him, it can be handed off to another Extraordinary force to exchange for the Saint Class Extraordinary Traits he needs.
It’s just that solving Cedric’s issue is more important.
As for exchanges with other forces... frankly, Chloe never considered it.
Such exchanges require a significant amount of time, far beyond what can be settled by a mere discussion.
By the time other forces had discussed and prepared to exchange Extraordinary Traits, Chloe figured he would’ve already found a chance to hunt down an appropriate Saint and laid the groundwork for his own advancement.
"What do you intend to do next? You came back mainly for this matter this time, right?"
"Yes, after all, the aftermath of this incident is quite troublesome."
"Then you’re mistaken, the situation has never been good."
Chloe’s voice was very calm.
It’s not just this time that it’s troublesome, but every time.
The resolve of the various forces to surround and exterminate them is firm, because... once Chloe regains his power, he will inevitably trample them underfoot until they have no strength to resist.
Even in the simulation, haven’t they died enough times?
Chloe even suspected that the ’Simulated Hero’ in his memory was really the game he played in his previous life?
Probably not.
Even if it was, it was likely tossed to him by some silver-haired red-eyed fake loli to see.
Compared to the difficulty in ’Simulated Hero’, the reality he experienced was much harsher.
Chloe could guess why this was the case.
It’s not that the game was simpler.
It’s because the purpose of the other side killing him had already been achieved.
After all, in every route in ’Simulated Hero’, the end is always the death of the Filthy Moon Demon King.
Once he dies, those World Groups would settle down.
But unfortunately, he doesn’t want to die.
Not only does he not want to die, but he wants to kill them instead.
"In any case, becoming a Demigod means finally having the power to protect oneself."
Chloe looked at his palm and murmured.
"Let’s go, the Abyss of Woe holds no more value for us."
Yet when he said this, his gaze involuntarily fell on the Princess Swordswoman.
This Princess Swordswoman looked at the ruins of the fallen White Bone Dragon Lord with a smile, and after a long while, said:
"Could I have some time? I’d like to find some flowers."
Chloe was silent.
Suddenly, he spoke, "If you’re aiming to fight the Void Erosion Sect, there’s no need to use my favor."
Tiffany said, "Why do you say that?"
"You’re taking flowers only to give to that Saint, right?"
Chloe wasn’t referring to the White Bone Dragon Lord.
When the White Bone Dragon Lord died, he felt another force not belonging to it.
If he’s not mistaken, it should be the Saint’s Power left by the elder from the Locke Empire who came seeking Tiffany.
Regrettably, his fall came even before the White Bone Dragon Lord’s.
