lol: After being blessed by the Happy Demon, I became the harem king

Page 111

What's most infuriating is that it's not just other girls; even I sometimes unconsciously make that face...

Thinking about it, Riven also looked helpless.

This helplessness stemmed not only from Riven knowing she was trapped in Fain's clutches and unable to escape, but also from a bit of a headache.

With Sona's figure, if she were to start competing with other girls, how would the others compete? It would be difficult for them to win, wouldn't it?

Akali, who also witnessed this scene, tilted her head—the relationship between the teacher and Miss Sona? Isn't it a bit too intimate? Also, what's that droplet on the teacher's finger? Wasn't that Vastayan from the Arakkoa tribe just furious? Why does it feel a little strange now?

Just as Akali felt, she was initially angry at Fain for playing with her tongue so wantonly, but after the pleasure factor was quickly absorbed by her oral mucosa, Xayah almost immediately felt that the connection between her body and the world began to be different.

386·Xia's Transformation

As the happiness factor entered her body, everything in Xia's field of vision underwent a tremendous change in that instant.

The anger that had initially arisen from Farn playing with his tongue dissipated at an astonishing speed, replaced by a sense of awe at the completely transformed world before him.

It was as if she had entered a completely new world. As her senses were activated, the colors in the sky were no longer as monotonous as before, and the smell in the air was no longer as ordinary. Her entire being seemed to be growing at an astonishing rate, breaking through the limitations of bones and flesh, spreading towards the sky, the ground, and the horizon like proliferating coral tentacles.

It's like stepping into a completely new world.

"I feel... I feel stronger." Looking down at her palms, Xia said with deep surprise, "It's like... it's like I've become a part of the world, and the world has become a part of me."

As she spoke, Xia paused, then looked at Fain beside her with her bright, curious eyes, swallowed, and said, "This is... what you call body activation?"

"Hmm, it looks like it's working well."

Hearing Xia's question, Fain nodded, then stared intently at her for a moment. Before, Xia wouldn't have stood there so obediently, allowing Fain to scrutinize her so freely. But now it was different. She could clearly feel the changes happening to her body, and her heart was correspondingly affected. Trust was slowly building up under these circumstances.

In particular, Xia could sense that Fain wasn't just looking at her, but was checking if there was anything wrong with her body—although there was no evidence, this was the judgment Xia made after her senses were enhanced.

As Xia sensed Fan's thoughts and her perception sharpened, she felt as if Fan could see right through her.

Is this what this guy meant by becoming sensitive and perceptive to his behavior?

Thinking to herself, feeling as if she were completely seen through, as if she had no privacy whatsoever, Xia couldn't help but swallow hard. A subtle shyness welled up from the bottom of her heart. Although Xia suppressed her inner thoughts and didn't let them show, she unconsciously adopted some coy, feminine postures, her legs pressed together, and her hands seemingly covering her sensitive areas. Combined with her slightly evasive eyes, not only Riven standing beside her, but even a virgin like Akali could see Xia's abnormality.

What? What's wrong? You're getting shy right now... Why are you blushing like a teapot?!

Amid her confusion, Akali also turned her gaze toward Fain, who was standing to the side.

It seems that the Vastaya's change in attitude towards his teacher only occurred after he consumed the teacher's bodily fluids.

That's right—although Xayah didn't see it, Akali clearly saw that the pearl-like liquid on her teacher's fingertip was indeed seeping out from her body.

It is not condensed water vapor in the air, nor is it created through magic; it is purely the liquid within the body.

If this really works... then shouldn't I ask about it myself?

While Akali was still thinking, Fain, after sensing for a moment, said unhurriedly, "Although the activation of the body will have an immediate effect, it usually won't be as significant as it is now... Well, it should be because you are a Vastayan and have a closer connection with the consciousness of nature magic from birth, which makes your sensory connection after activation stronger than that of ordinary people."

Upon hearing Fan's words, Xia's ears twitched, and a confident smile spread across her face. However, she quickly concealed this smile, instead raising her head arrogantly and lifting her chin, saying, "Ha, I knew it would be like this! After all, we Vastaya possess a connection to nature far exceeding that of humans! Under the same circumstances, it's only natural that my activation effect is stronger!"

As a Grand Vastayan believer, Xayah was still very proud of her lineage. However, she often disdained to express this pride. After all, most humans couldn't even sense the so-called spirit of nature, and even if you explained this Vastayan talent to them, they wouldn't understand.

But now... there shouldn't be any problem in talking about it, right?

Xia thought to herself—since this guy named Fain can activate his senses, it at least shows that his connection with nature is equally strong. And his connection with the consciousness of nature is far beyond what ordinary mortals can achieve. Moreover, according to him, he also has knowledge from the spirits of Ionia and was given the Mark of Two Dragons by Venerable Karma. Although it's not certain whether that's true or not, since this guy dares to say it and possesses such abilities, it must be somewhat believable, right? After all, it would be incredibly embarrassing if he were exposed.

Thinking this, Xia unconsciously began to look at Fane with less wariness and suspicion, and more casualness and intimacy. Lost in thought, she glanced at Fane and nodded thoughtfully.

Moreover, their figures and appearances are quite good, very well-proportioned and smooth, which conforms to the consistent aesthetics of the Crow People—after all, they are related to birds, and the sleek and streamlined shape is a big plus in the aesthetics of the Crow People.

In Xia's eyes, while Fain didn't possess the same beautiful, magnificent, and noble purple feathers as herself, upon closer inspection, he was actually quite handsome. He had distinct features, a dashing appearance, and exuded a strong masculine aura...

Thinking this, Xia felt a strange stirring within her body, but she quickly calmed down—really, what was she thinking? Hmm, this must be what Faen meant by her becoming more sensitive to him, right? Not bad, after all, it allowed her to see the man in front of her more clearly.

And it looks...not bad.

Thinking to herself, Xia nodded and said, "It feels pretty good. It seems you are still trustworthy... Let's go, I'll take you to our tribe."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Fain nodded and asked, "Is there anything I should be careful about?"

“We’ll talk on the way,” Xia said, mounting another horse. “Stay close to me, and I’ll tell you.”

387. Proof of Identity

Seeing Xayah's changes from front to back, Riven silently curled her lips.

The most troublesome thing about the happiness factor is this. Although the happiness factor doesn't forcibly brainwash, it just amplifies other people's feelings, but the problem is that Fain's appearance is absolutely top-notch - this kind of handsomeness is not beauty in the traditional sense, or rather, it is the kind that makes people unforgettable after just one look, and after getting to know him, it's like encountering a succubus, thinking about him all day long, wishing that he would pin them to the ground and have his way with them on the spot.

……

Okay, in the later stages, the symptoms mentioned above will indeed appear. But in the early stages, especially the first time you meet someone, you'll just feel a sense of surprise; they're a nice guy, pleasing to the eye, and there's nothing to dislike about them.

But based on Riven's experience, it's precisely this 'nothing to dislike' that's the most terrifying. Because this apparent harmlessness makes it easy for people to subconsciously deepen their interaction and connection with the other person. And considering Fain's many methods and tricks, the final result naturally became complete surrender, turning her into his personal sex slave, a contrasting bitch who was taken advantage of at will regardless of the situation, a pregnant bitch who was always at his beck and call.

Oh well, it's just another sister in bed, a rival in the female competition.

Thinking this way, Riven didn't pay too much attention. After all, large-scale sex parties were relatively rare. In most everyday situations, Faen would just go with whoever was nearby. With the number of people reduced, cooperating with each other to share Faen's pent-up desires was an art; good coordination made things easier and improved the experience.

Thinking this, Riven couldn't help but glance at Xayah a few more times.

Although Xia herself didn't realize it, she had now completely lost her basic wariness of Fain. Even when they were talking, the ears on her head were wagging back and forth, just like a puppy meeting a friend, showing goodwill through her actions.

Right now, she's only encountered the kindness of friends. Before long, she'll be like a female dog fawning over her owner, won't she?

Thinking of her bunny costume, Riven shook her head helplessly in her heart—this is how it is for her in this life. She can't quit it, and she can't shake it off. She might as well just lie down and let herself be. At least Fain is a sentimental person. When she has a daughter in the future, she can deepen this bond and concern.

After chatting with Fain for a while and finding him to be a decent person, Xia nodded in agreement. However, as she looked away, her eyes inadvertently fell on Sona, who was in Fain's arms. Although Sona hadn't said a word, seeing her nestled in Fain's embrace, looking somewhat bewildered, Xia felt a strange emotion welling up inside her.

It's not exactly jealousy... but it shouldn't be envy either?

Not knowing how to describe the feeling in her heart, Kasumi could only forcibly look away, trying not to pay attention to Sona in Fain's arms.

But seriously, this girl has really big breasts, and her skin looks so soft. No wonder Fain likes girls like her…

Wait, what was I thinking?

Shaking her head to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts, Xia took a deep breath and began to focus her attention on Fain.

With Xia's guidance, the group quickly arrived at the territory of the Arakkoa tribe. Before even entering, some time before they reached the tribe's settlement, a large, dark mass of people came into view.

To Xia's surprise, even before they entered the tribe, the tribe's chief and elders were already waiting in her line of sight. The old man standing at the very front was none other than the tribe's oldest elder, who was over two hundred years old.

Upon seeing Faen, the Grand Elder asked in a voice as thin as withered tree bark, "Your Excellency... I heard that Venerable Karma bestowed upon you the Twin Dragon Seals? When I was young, I went to Presidium to study and saw what the Twin Dragon Seals looked like. I wonder if Your Excellency could allow me to witness their former glory?"

The voice, though aged, was filled with solemnity. Seeing this, Fain nodded and then extended his hand, revealing the double dragon seal on it.

Upon seeing the twin dragon seals, the Grand Elder fell silent for a moment. He then rubbed his eyes with trembling hands, and after confirming that he hadn't misread them, he said in a sorrowful voice, "That's wonderful... It's real, it's the real twin dragon seals. The sages of the Temple of Eternity have not forgotten us, Venerable Karma has not forgotten the Vastaya, and the Spirits of Ionia have not abandoned the Arakkoa!"

As he spoke, the old man immediately began to lower his robe, but before he could make a move, he was stopped by Farn's hand, which was filled with condensed water vapor. "Old sir, there's no need for that," Farn said. "I'm here to help the Vastaya. It's my duty and my mission. You don't need to bow to me. Rather, I'm surprised that you still believe in me, who was given the Twin Dragon Seals by Venerable Karma, even in such a harsh environment, instead of rejecting and hating me because of my past experiences."

Upon hearing this, the old man wiped away the tears in his eyes and sighed, "The Vastaya can feel the changes in Ionia more clearly. In the spiritual realm of Ionia, which has been calm for hundreds, even thousands of years, it is now turbulent. The western coast is even showing signs of a tsunami. This must mean that the whole of Ionia is suffering. How could I not sympathize with the situation that Venerable Karma is facing?"

As he said this, the old man paused slightly, then looked at Xia, who was standing beside Fain, still looking completely bewildered and seemingly unaware of what had happened. He immediately reprimanded her:

"Xia! Why are you still sitting next to the envoy? I heard from others that you attacked the Venerable One? Get down and apologize at once!"

"Huh? Ah? Should I apologize?"

Upon hearing this, Xia felt a buzzing in her head. She wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin. Seeing the earnestness in the Elder's eyes, Xia opened her mouth, but ultimately could only lower her head, feeling a surge of resentment… She had just been chatting happily with Faen, even laughing and talking all the way there. And now, she had to dismount and apologize the moment she arrived…

Although she was indeed wrong, how could she put it? Being forced to apologize to her good friend, with whom she had just been chatting and laughing, made Xia feel inexplicably embarrassed and ashamed.

But at that moment, Farn said, "Wait a minute."

388·Shortsighted Girl

Upon hearing Fain's words, everyone present was slightly taken aback, and then subconsciously turned their gazes to Fain standing to the side.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Fane spoke without flinching: "Although Xia attacked me, she didn't know my identity or purpose at the time. In fact, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, Xia explained to me a lot about the disasters facing the Arakkoa and Vastaya, which allowed me to have a more comprehensive understanding of what was happening on this land. Now, we've become friends, and the previous misunderstanding has been resolved, so Xia has absolutely no need to apologize to me."

Upon hearing Fan's words, the Grand Elder nodded thoughtfully, his initial dissatisfaction with Xayah's attack on Fan dissipating considerably. And upon hearing Fan speak on her behalf, a moved expression appeared on Xayah's face.

This human is different from everyone else.

Thinking this, Faen dismounted and came to stand before Xia. Although they had been chatting happily before, now that this had happened, Xia felt a strange tremor in her heart as soon as she felt Faen's gaze. For a moment, she didn't even dare to look Faen in the eye.

Farn, however, didn't seem to care. Instead, he gripped Xia's hand even tighter. This sudden, aggressive action sent a chill down Xia's spine. Looking up at Farn, she saw a pair of calm and composed eyes that seemed to say, "It's nothing serious, leave it to me." Then Farn turned to the elder and said:

“Xia is my friend, and her ability to communicate with the consciousness of nature allows me to quickly determine what happened in the Sunflower Forest. The fact that I cannot let go of the fact that the consciousness of nature has been harmed because of this ability is not Xia’s fault, but a problem that Ionia is currently facing, and it is also the problem that I came here to solve. So please do not blame Xia, Elder.”

Hearing Fan's words, the Grand Elder nodded thoughtfully, then turned his gaze to Xia beside Fan. This quickly brought Xia back to her senses, and she instinctively tried to break free from Fan's grasp. However, after struggling twice, Fan showed no sign of letting go. In the end, Xia simply pursed her lips and stopped trying to resist, letting Fan hold her soft hand as she stood there silently, her face flushed and her head bowed.

Seeing that Fan didn't seem to mind, the Grand Elder nodded. The Grand Elder had asked Xia to apologize not only because Fan, as Venerable Karma's envoy, needed to be treated with care, but also because he worried that Fan might be displeased and slack off in fulfilling his mission. However, since the person involved didn't seem to have any problem and even pleaded for her, the Grand Elder naturally wouldn't force Xia to apologize.

After nodding, he looked at Fain and said, "Since you are so magnanimous, I will not get involved any further."

As he spoke, the elder also glanced at Xia, who was standing next to Faen.

Although Farn gives the impression of being a peaceful and upright gentleman who doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives towards Xia and simply handles matters professionally, the Grand Elder still knows Xia quite well.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xia's pride is evident to every member of the Arakkoa tribe.

Kasumi is a Vastayan, whose connection to nature magic is inherently far greater than that of ordinary people. Under these circumstances, Kasumi's natural talents are also stronger than those of ordinary Vastayans, and her connection to nature is even closer. Naturally, Kasumi develops a pride in her identity far exceeding that of ordinary Vastayans.

To be honest, the elders weren't surprised at all by Xia's attack on Faen. With the weakening of nature magic, every Vastaya was feeling anxious and uneasy due to their diminishing connection to it. In this context, the only remaining Sunflower Grove had human traces appearing, and these traces were discovered by a group of young Vastaya.

It's an age when people are prone to impulsiveness, so it's perfectly normal for conflicts to arise. Not to mention the Arakkoa who live on Kui Lin Island and have nowhere else to retreat, even the other Vastaya who live in the western and northern parts of the Shangzan Highlands and have closer interactions with humans have had their share of similar conflicts and contradictions with humans.

Not to mention the proud Xia?

What truly surprised the elders was Xia's current state—why are you being so hesitant? Did I see things wrong?

Seeing Xia's lowered head and blushing face, the wise elder nodded thoughtfully, and then took the initiative to suggest, "Xia's connection with nature is indeed far beyond that of ordinary Vastaya, but Xia is still young and her potential has not yet been fully realized. So if she fails to satisfy you in assisting the envoy, please forgive her."

In fact, the elder's words already indicated that Xia was going to stay with Fane, because this messenger named Fane clearly valued Xia's abilities, and Xia happened to harbor some special feelings for this messenger. Under these circumstances, the elder didn't mind doing a favor and fulfilling Xia's wishes, allowing Fane to better dedicate himself to the restoration of nature magic.

To everyone's surprise, while Fane understood the elder's meaning, the impetuous and assertive Xia failed to grasp it. Before Fane could even speak, Xia couldn't help but argue, "No, Elder! In fact, with...with Fane's help, I can now connect more closely with nature magic, not only hearing the voices of nature spirits, but even conversing with them!"

Upon hearing Xia's words, the crowd erupted in a series of exclamations and gasps of surprise. Even the Grand Elder was slightly taken aback, then gestured for everyone to be quiet, his brow furrowed with suspicion and gravity as he said, "You're saying... you can communicate with the spirits of nature? This is no joke! Xia, if you can't, you'd better admit it quickly!"

The ability to communicate with the spirits of nature is extremely rare, not only among the Arakkoa but also among the entire Vastaya race. In the last hundred years, not a single one has achieved this. Xia didn't know the significance of this matter, but the Grand Elder did, and instantly became serious.

And what about Na Xia? She's still in a hurry to prove herself.

Unaware of the focus of her elders, Xayah has yet to debut as the renowned 'Purple Raven' of northeastern Ionia. Although her perception far surpasses that of her peers and even many elders in the tribes, Xayah herself doesn't possess much foresight and is essentially a rebellious little sister similar to Akali.

Hearing the Elder's question with suspicion, Xia replied earnestly, "On the way here, Fane told me that my abilities hadn't yet reached the level required to communicate with the spirits of nature because my spiritual cultivation hadn't reached the necessary level. So Fane helped me improve my physical abilities, allowing me to compensate for my spiritual deficiencies through physical perception. Although it's only just begun, I can already hear the voices of the spirits of nature and communicate with them!"

Upon hearing Xia's words, a deep sense of surprise flashed in the Elder's eyes. He then subconsciously looked at Fan. Seeing this, Fan nodded.

Upon seeing this reaction, a serious look appeared in the Grand Elder's eyes. He then looked at Xia and said, "Is that really the case? Xia? You're not just putting on a brave face?"

“Of course not!” Xia replied seriously.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder also reached out and placed his palm on Xia's forehead.

As the oldest elder of the Arakkoa, the years have endowed the Grand Elder with abilities that ordinary Vastaya do not possess. While this does not allow the Grand Elder to wield the power of nature in battle like the legendary Vastaya heroes, it has enabled him to perceive the spiritual realm and physical strength of others.

Currently, in the elder's perception, although Xia is still only at the level of a Vastayan girl in the spiritual realm, in terms of physical perception, although Xia's appearance has not changed much, her vitality is several times greater than before. With the enhancement of her physical senses, the shortcomings of her youthful spirit have also been compensated for.

The mind and body influence each other, and before this, Xia had reached areas that she could not reach in the spiritual realm by strengthening her perception of the material realm!

This made the Grand Elder's gaze even more solemn. However, Xia's face showed no sign of backing down, as she was full of confidence in her current state.

After a long while, in everyone's sight, the Grand Elder withdrew his hand with a complicated expression and said, "Indeed... you are now able to communicate with the spirits of nature."

After a pause, the Grand Elder turned to Faen with a complicated look and asked, "Just as Xia said, is it due to your help?"

“Yes.” Farn nodded, then added, “But not everyone is as outstanding as Xayah. Xayah’s ability to communicate with the spirits of nature is due to her extraordinary talent, which is not found in ordinary Vastaya, and her strong support for the spirits of nature. For others, this would be counterproductive, disrupting the balance between mind and body, and potentially causing irreparable harm.”

As an old man with keen insight, it would be a lie to say the Grand Elder wasn't excited after discovering that Fane possessed such an ability—after all, the ability to communicate with the spirits of nature was something that only existed in legends of heroes, a power possessed by a very few great heroes. And now… just by being guided by someone, he had reached this level? No matter how you looked at it, this was far beyond the Grand Elder's imagination.

After understanding this matter, the Grand Elder naturally began to consider whether he could ask Faen to help more of his people, so that the Arakkoa could usher in a period of prosperity and development.

And now, Farn's answer undoubtedly provides the answer—only Xayah possesses such talent, capable of growing up ahead of time through forced development. Everyone else, without this innate ability, is simply wasting their potential.

But even so...

After a moment of silence, the elder raised his head again and said calmly, "Since Mr. Faen and Xia cooperate so well, then let Xia accompany you from now on. On the one hand, this will allow you to understand the current situation of the Sunflower Forest and the state of the spirits of nature more quickly. On the other hand, it will also make it easier for Xia to take care of your daily life and reduce the time wasted on trivial matters."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Xia froze on the spot, then pointed a finger at herself and asked, "Me? I'm here to take care of Fain's daily life, huh?"

To this, Farn remained calm and nodded seemingly unconcerned, saying, "Of course I have no problem with it, but it still depends on Xia's own opinion."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Xia, who was standing to the side.
