Chapter 325: First Contact with the Scarlet Lady (22)

Atelasen, under the great Life Tree.

Laifu's Void vision told Luo Sen that two people had arrived at Xixi's treehouse.

He could tell at a glance that these were two Mundane incarnations of Void Gods.

From their power aura, one was De Rui Tan, while the other had a completely unfamiliar power aura.

The power of Void Gods each has a unique spectrum, macroscopically manifested as the color of light.

De Rui Tan is sky-blue, while this unfamiliar power aura is scarlet, with high intensity reaching 14.9, only one step away from a Great God.

"'A subordinate god of the War Lord Haige Li Te, with a scarlet spectrum and power intensity of 14.9. I see, it's the Scarlet Lady Beilu Dandi.'"

According to Nawate's 'Void Life Encyclopedia,' Beilu Dandi is a formidable great god who has commanded many planar-level wars and achieved extremely glorious victories in all of them.

If Haige Li Te is the War Lord, then the Scarlet Lady is the unstoppable war god's axe in his hand.

Moreover, her own combat power is astonishing; it is said she was even bestowed a divine artifact by the War Lord, making her a very troublesome character.

Luo Sen immediately checked the corresponding Void, and as expected, there was no trace of any Void God.

"'Oh~ These two are really cautious, they actually hid themselves, and hid very well.'"

He could sense that the two Void Gods were hiding in some unknown corner, remotely controlling the Mundane incarnations through the power of faith.

But where exactly are they hiding?

What kind of defenses have they set up?

Luo Sen doesn't know any of this.

At this moment, he has two options.

One is to strike suddenly, using the Shift-Leap Pursuit Kill method, taking the Mundane incarnation as a springboard to directly attack their true form.

Two is to abandon the assassination and continue investigating the Rabbit Society mentioned by the succubus Lixia.

After weighing them slightly, Luo Sen chose the second path.

Because the assassination success rate is too low, if it fails this time, it will scare the snake, making it hard to find their hiding place later.

Moreover, if he assassinates, he will certainly be exposed and must flee immediately from the Holy Elf Empire, making future silent infiltration difficult.

Choosing the second path is much more stable.

Go meet the leader of the Rabbit Society to see what divine being they are.

If the Rabbit Society is large enough in scale and also has sufficient energy, then there is great potential.

Thus, Luo Sen decisively abandoned the assassination plan and switched to observation.

He saw that after the two Mundane incarnations entered Xixi's treehouse, they began interrogating Xixi.

It can be seen that De Rui Tan still does not think Xixi has a problem, even hoping she has none, likely due to perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Therefore, even if the Scarlet Lady suspects Xixi is likely problematic, De Rui Tan does not directly destroy her.

Luo Sen had long set the hidden Resonance Core on Xixi to silent mode.

Because the Life Tree branch is of high quality, the Resonance Core he installed is very concealed, far exceeding De Rui Tan's perception limit, and likely also exceeding the Scarlet Lady's.

Thus, he is completely unconcerned that they would detect an anomaly from the elemental structure.

Next, it's just a matter of whether Xixi can withstand the Scarlet Lady's interrogation.

Luo Sen has no confidence in this regard.

After all, Xixi is merely a mortal, while the Scarlet Lady is a formidable Void God who has experienced countless major scenes.

However, it's not completely without a chance.

Because he has greatly optimized Xixi's brain, and with the aid of a magic implement, her soul strength now reaches Legendary 16, surpassing even the Scarlet Lady.

Ideally, Xixi will pass smoothly, so she can continue to be his 'eyes'.

If she cannot pass, there's no forcing it; he will take this opportunity to carefully observe the Scarlet Lady and analyze her personality traits.

While observing, the voice of the succubus Lixia came from beside his ear: 'Luode, have you figured it out?'

Luo Sen, with divided attention, observed the interrogation in the treetops while responding.

"I'm quite moved, but I can't let go of Lilian."

Lixia was stunned, then countered: "Then what kind of woman is Lilian?"

Luo Sen had already fabricated his excuse, and now he began to elaborate the lie.

"A playmate who grew up with me since childhood, a bit willful."

"Is she pretty?"

"Not really pretty, far inferior to my older sister."

'Giggle~~~'

Lixia covered her mouth and chuckled, then asked: "Then is she outstanding?"

"Not outstanding either; her magic hasn't even reached Three-ring, she's just an ordinary girl."

"Then do you love her?"

"What is love, anyway?"

Luo Sen wore a bewildered expression, then shook his head as if he understood.

"If it's that intense feeling from ballads, then no. We've just been together since childhood, accustomed to each other."

"However, I doubt I can find her."

Saying this, Luo Sen's face showed a hint of dejection, while Lixia also asked concernedly: "What happened?"

"Not long ago, she had someone write me a letter saying she had fallen for a male fairy and liked the feeling of him taking her to fly freely in the sky. Sigh."

Lixia thought she understood, looking sympathetic: "So you and she never actually agreed to go on a pilgrimage together; you're just unwilling to accept failure, chasing all the way here, trying to win back Lilian's heart."

"Although I don't want to say it, but elder sister, your statement is factual." During the conversation, Luo Sen discovered that the situation in the treetop treehouse was actually quite good.

Xixi's mind turned out to be surprisingly sharp, with many clever quick wits, and with De Rui Tan's intentional or unintentional support, it gradually dispelled the Scarlet Lady's suspicions.

Hey~~ interesting~~ really interesting~~

Luo Sen was in a great mood, so he began earnestly acting, letting a hint of abandoned sorrow show on his face.

The succubus Lixia had already intended to pull Luo Sen into the Hare Society; seeing his lovelorn state, she immediately seized the opportunity, exerted force with her hand, and dragged Luo Sen into her ample bosom.

"Little guy, everyone has their own life; since Lilian has already chosen another man, you don't need to forcibly try to win her back."

"Sister, what you say makes sense."

Luo Sen nodded in agreement, his expression slightly relieved: "I was too insistent; perhaps I should return to my hometown and find a girl to spend the rest of my life with."

Lixia immediately said: "Why bother going back to your hometown to look?"

After saying that, she naturally undid the button on her collar, revealing her towering thunder: "Someone with talent like yours shouldn't remain unknown."

Luo Sen's mind stirred slightly, he circulated his blood and qi to make his face flush: "Lixia sister, this... isn't too proper, is it?"

"Hahaha~~~ I actually saw an elf who can blush; that's really rare."

"There's nothing wrong with it; go ahead and enjoy, I don't mind at all."

Luo Sen had intended to refuse, but he suddenly noticed that the scarlet woman in Xixi's treehouse was very sensitive.

She seemed to faintly sense someone spying, so she instinctively looked left and right.

Only three seconds later, she began issuing orders, sending out many tree sentries to start checking the surroundings of the great life tree.

This made Luo Sen's heart slightly startled: "She is extremely cautious, acts swiftly and decisively, with no wishful thinking—this scarlet woman is indeed hard to deal with."

Against such a person, schemes are hard to work; the best approach is to overwhelm with open strategy.

Luo Sen immediately gave up spying on Xixi's treehouse, and, going with the flow, began to enjoy the succubus Lixia's caress.

But soon, he encountered a problem.

From the front, the succubus looks no different from a normal woman, but from behind she is indeed somewhat strange.

Although De Rui Tan's design allowed the two to match perfectly, it is really. really too ample.

It feels a bit hard to withstand.

The succubus smiled narrowly and said: "Little guy, what are you worried about? Afraid I'll lift my hoof and kick you?"

Luo Sen scratched his head: "Lixia sister, I've only responded to the wild call of humanoid elves."

This made the succubus giggle nonstop.

"Elves have long lives; they should try new things often, otherwise life becomes very boring."

"I don't deny that sometimes one gets bad experiences, but sometimes one also receives the blessings of the goddess of fate."

Since that's the case, Luo Sen had nothing more to say, so he summoned his divine gun and began to challenge new things.

Ten seconds later, he understood why the lower-ranking elf Fuke, lasting only five minutes, suffered a crushing defeat.

Because the forest succubus's martial skill is extremely strong, far surpassing humans, even exceeding that of a succubus.

This is indeed not something an ordinary person can handle.

"Laifu, reduce bodily feedback by 50%."

After doubling his combat power, Luo Sen finally felt he had strength equal to his opponent.

After a few more minutes, he felt tree sentries flying one after another over the trellis, with some even stepping outside to check the situation.

Lixia the succubus also saw this and shouted loudly: "Warrior, I am Lixia, a reserve member of the Holy Succubus Guard."

"I am currently responding to the holy wild summons; don't disturb me!"

The sentry peeked through a gap in the vines at the door, whistled: "Tsk~~ another mounted warrior."

The trellis is small; everything inside is visible at a glance.

As expected, the tree sentries did not enter the shed; after glancing at it with interest, they turned and left.

To avoid further changes, Luo Sen also withdrew his observation of Xixi and began to focus on responding to the wild summons.

About half an hour later, this holy summoning ritual ended with Lixia's defeat.

At the same time, Luo Sen faintly felt that Xixi had not been destroyed by De Rui Tan either.

This indicates that Xixi has a fifty percent chance of having passed the scarlet woman's identity review, and also a fifty percent chance that the scarlet woman deliberately spared her life to use her later as a pawn.

But regardless, Xixi's performance has already made Luo Sen look at her anew.

"Hey~~ this little girl has really grown a lot. Interesting~~ really interesting."

He could sense that Xixi could perform like this because of her quick wit, and also because she had prepared earlier for today's situation.

Why would she have such preparation? Luo Sen really wanted to examine her with a soul imprint, but considering her legendary 16 soul and her current extremely dangerous situation, doing so would either startle Xixi or the scarlet woman, leading to many unforeseeable consequences.

Thus, he suppressed his curiosity: "I'll just hide in the dark and quietly watch the situation unfold."

After thinking, he also had the idea: "The Dragon Islands over there also need to be stirred up a bit, to give the Holy Elf Empire some strength."

Only when the strength is raised and external pressure increases can its internal situation be catalyzed to evolve.

At this moment, the succubus Lixia finally came to her senses.

She turned her head, gazing at Luo Sen with fiery eyes, and fervently sent a telepathic message: "Luode, Lilian isn't worth your concern; join the Hare Society and follow me to overthrow the tyrant rule of the incapable sovereign!"

Luo Sen immediately asked: "Then can I always stay with sister?"

Lixia smiled gently: "Of course, as long as you're willing."

She stood up, using Mage Hand to tidy the slightly disordered exquisite tapestry on her back.

"Come up, I'll take you to the nearby outpost to participate in the formal initiation ceremony."
