Chapter 364: Dispute and Regeneration

They were a band of adventurers.

Their lineup was well-rounded: two tough frontline warriors, one agile stealthy assassin, and two solid backline mages.

Among them, the assassin and the mage were both women—one a sensual older sister, the other a shy, adorable little girl.

Under the influence of hormones, the three men stared with wide eyes, glaring furiously at the two blonde elves who had bumped into them without apologizing.

The little girl mage was crying in the assassin's arms, her clothes stained with a large patch of dirt—clearly she had just been knocked down.

"It's okay, good big brothers, I just fell a little, it doesn't hurt, waaah."

Hearing the crying.

The three "good big brothers" exploded with even fiercer verbal attacks, like dogs spotting fresh dog shit, spitting fury at the two elves.

The two elves didn't even lift their eyelids; they even cast a magical shield to block the spittle.

Traditional elves are too proud to stoop to arguing with you.

Go ahead and insult me—I'll move a muscle and I'll lose.

Luo De and Youna, seeing the crowd grow, simply used 【Spider Walk】 to climb onto the rooftop and watch the spectacle.

"Do you think they'll fight?"

"Youna guesses not. Elves are masters of restraint and love putting on airs—especially the elves of Bicuiting. Even if they want to strike, they won't be the first to move."

"Then I bet they will fight. The wager is—"

Luo De leaned close to Youna's ear and whispered something, making the calm spider-elf blush.

"If the master needs it, no wager is necessary—I'm willing to give anything." She whispered.

"That's exactly what makes it fun. If I lose, I'll grant you any request you want."

"Youna dares not make demands of the master."

At that moment, Rosalia also leapt onto the rooftop.

"I also think they'll fight."

She clearly hadn't heard Luo De and Youna's private words, smiling as she joined the bet.

Seeing her coldly observing, Luo De asked, "Didn't you just say we should handle the elves of Bicuiting with caution? Why are you ignoring it now?"

"That's true in theory, but I still dislike their attitude."

The Tooth Fairy fairy sneered coldly.

She had secretly arranged a ruffian to cause trouble and escalate the incident, just to annoy them.

Elves have fought humans and dwarves multiple times; after being driven back to Bicuiting, they dared not stir up trouble again and rarely kill.

As Youna had predicted, the situation unfolded.

The two elves surrounded and berated showed almost no change in expression, their steps barely pausing.

Meanwhile, the adventurer team's punches landed like striking cotton—these rough men lacked wit, and with women nearby, they dared not unleash their crudest verbal tactics; their ten levels of power dwindled to two, repeating the same insults, growing weaker and weaker.

"You're going to win, Youna."

Luo De smiled.

The spider-elf's cheeks flushed slightly; she bit her lip and secretly cast 【Anger Spell】 and 【Suggestion Spell】 on a drunk outsider watching the crowd.

The drunkard paused, his eyes filling with red veins.

He cursed loudly, shoving aside the people in front of him, wine splashing everywhere as he stomped forward.

He didn't care about either side—he planted his large feet squarely between the two groups.

As they were stunned, the drunkard launched into a furious tirade against the adventurer team, then turned and called the elves "my lords," saying they were just ignorant children, that these humans were stupid and uncultured, and didn't understand the free air of Bicuiting.

The two elves were bewildered but agreed—the statement was fine; elves were indeed superior to humans.

The dying embers of a flame sparked into fierce argument.

If it had ended there, it might have been fine—at least no real fight.

But unfortunately, the drunkard began listing reasons why Bicuiting 's elves were freer and cleaner than those of Aiselong, spouting all sorts of things—including the secret that the previous High Elder of the elves had been drained to death by a succubus, how traditional elves' tastes were wildly diverse, and mocking them for living in trees like frogs at the bottom of a well yet claiming to care for the whole world.

The adventurer team was stunned—they thought he was a traitor, never expecting him to play this subtle, sarcastic game.

Each word pierced their hearts, striking straight at the elves' most sensitive nerves.

The two elves broke down; despite their fierce restraint, they unleashed a magical missile—high in warning, low in damage.

And under Youna's control, the drunkard played the part to perfection—he flew backward, crashing straight into a nearby fruit stall.

The adventurer team snapped—they raised their fists and charged.

At least, they didn't draw weapons.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Luo De's perception was not to be underestimated—he immediately realized Youna had orchestrated it.

"Uh, you—"

Youna bowed her head: "Youna is willing to offer the master every victory, even at the cost of her own life."

Unlike the ever-claiming ghoul, the little spider didn't use flashy flattery.

Her words were saturated with raw, sincere emotion.

Luo De was pleased—he stepped forward, embraced her, and kissed the drooping elf ear against his cheek.

Warm, with a fresh-food fragrance.

The ear trembled slightly upon contact with his lips.

"This time, I'll count myself as the loser…"

Seeing her about to speak, Luo De quickly pressed his palm against her chest, forcibly silencing her.

Youna felt the heat of his hand burning against her chest—her heart throbbed hot and numb, her face flushed crimson, unable to protest.

"Losing to you isn't losing. I owe you a favor—name any request."

"Then Youna—"

"No rush. Think carefully. I want to see what you truly desire—what you sincerely love."

Luo De whispered, gently rubbing the soft cartilage of her ear.

Whether from sensitivity or something else, the spider lady trembled more with each rub, her scent growing richer.

"... es, master."

【Youna's obedience +5, current obedience: 81】

Huh.

To be fair, Youna's obedience level rises easily.

【Obedience level surpassed 81—unlocked shared skill with Youna】

【Beginning random draw…】

【Draw successful】

【Shared Skill: Regeneration】

【Details: The spider-elf possesses excellent regeneration ability, capable of rapidly healing injured body parts and regrowing limbs.】

Regeneration.

A skill Luo De had once deeply desired.

But after acquiring 【Dragon Scale Art】 and the plague domain's 【Corpse-Integrated】, his interest faded.

The former rarely fails to deflect attacks; the latter is domain-level regeneration—though it consumes heavily, it can be applied to others, making it highly practical.

Luo De's evaluation: inconsequential. The limb-regrowth ability was decent, though.

Beside him, Rosalia ignored the intimacy between master and servant, sneering as she watched the elves and adventurers brawl.

"Boring. They're all holding back, afraid to go all out."

She added, clearly enjoying the chaos.

You're a bit terrifyingly vengeful, Tooth Fairy lady.

I dare not offend you anymore.

"Huh?"

Luo De looked down and suddenly noticed something odd.

His 【Disguise Domain】 had been active inside him for over a month—unable to use 【Maintain Domain】 or 【Shadow Theft】, yet it wasn't just draining him; he'd gained considerable insight into 【Disguise Domain】.

So he instantly spotted an unusual figure at the edge of the street brawl.

This person carried the scent of "disguise."

—He was a dark elf.
