clearly just very common black eyes and black hair,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>hard to imagine why she would possess such a face that enchants all living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu was lost in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked in bewilderment, \"You... what did you call me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, what's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeliyana's eyes were wide open, filled entirely with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she was just recruited, and her loyalty is 70, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kneeling on one knee, and calling him Master,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her behavior was even more exaggerated than Iloti, whose loyalty was 91...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu found it somewhat incomprehensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was silent for a moment, glancing at the thin black tail behind Yeliyana, like a slender whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you from the succubus tribe?\" Su Yu felt even more doubtful inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master.\" Yeliyana nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a weak succubus tribe produce an existence akin to myth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their status in the myriad realms was even lower than that of the human race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They usually existed by attaching themselves to other races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, weren't a succubus's eyes supposed to be red?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu thought back to the knowledge he had learned in high school, the records about the succubus tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a while, he stopped dwelling on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out both hands and helped Yeliyana to her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yeliyana is simply too obedient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her loyalty is only 70, which falls under \"loyal to one's duty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the attitude she displays is something neither Sylph nor Elodie can match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps in Yeliyana's eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this so-called loyalty to one's duty\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is exactly how it should be — complete submission to Su Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One truly wonders, once her loyalty rises to 80 or reaches 90,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what would her behavior be like then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is your ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Yeliyana was this obedient, Su Yu simply asked directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>without worrying about her being difficult and causing loyalty to drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I can alter my appearance, suited for stealth and skilled in assassination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeliyana spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her form gradually began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest slowly flattened, her black hair began to shorten,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and a pure white, luxurious outfit appeared on her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, she had transformed into Su Yu's likeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was her ability, \"Myriad Faces, Ten Thousand Visages\" — allowing her to take on the appearance of anyone she has seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She displayed her ability to Su Yu like a conjuring trick,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with not the slightest air of a mythic hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu stared dumbfounded as another version of himself appeared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>identical in every way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not an illusion — it was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the astonishment in Su Yu's eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeliyana smiled faintly, and her form began to shift again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of black light flickered and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, she had become Elodie's likeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy, sacred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elodie, standing at Su Yu's right hand, frowned as she looked at Yeliyana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, Sylph's eyes sparkled with keen interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rubbing here, pinching there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She absolutely could not tell this was a counterfeit Light Mythic Angel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Su Yu also reached out and squeezed her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tactile sensation, this holy scent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were exactly the same as Elodie's!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not touch me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fake Elodie frowned as she spoke, her cold countenance intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too real... even the voice, even the demeanor, exactly the same...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had not witnessed Yeliyana's transformation with his own eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he likely would have believed this was truly Elodie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your praise, Master.\" The fake Elodie beamed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the blazing sun itself seemed to dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu froze for a moment and gulped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen Elodie show such an expression, nor call him master...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a sweep of radiant holy light flashed. Elodie looked coldly at Yeliyana. \"In the future, do not assume my form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, angel sister.\" Yeliyana smiled, and with a shift of her form, changed into Sylph's likeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Sylph's eyes lit up, and she naturally linked her arm with Su Yu's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeliyana, now in the form of Sylph, likewise linked her arm with Su Yu's other one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Sylphs,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one on each side, holding his arms. Su Yu felt a little dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Su Yu, which one is the real me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylph asked, gazing at him with her gentle, jade-green eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu froze. The briefest moment of distraction had made him forget which side Yeliyana had been on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly could not tell them apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu didn't dare answer rashly, afraid that if he answered wrong, Sylph's loyalty would drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iloti shot the two women a glance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six wings emerged from the light, just about to unfurl,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when Su Yu suddenly called out to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Iloti, don't go out exploring for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having found a topic, Su Yu hurriedly pulled his arms free from the two Sylphs' grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeli Yeli Yana reverted to her original appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Iloti asked, displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Iloti, who was practically a model laborer in the territory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu had long grown accustomed to her attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mused thoughtfully and said, \"The outside world lately... may not be peaceful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though you have 'Holy Radiance' to conceal you, so others can't discover you're an angel,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"still, you'd better not go out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Su Yu told Iloti about what he had encountered earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faction formed by previous lords — the Demon Blood Alliance —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was entrenched somewhere within an area tens of thousands of miles across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must not be rashly alerted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Iloti nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She simply wanted to do more for Su Yu; now that Su Yu had said this, she wouldn't cause him any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Summer is about to arrive. Just rest well in the territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four seasons of the Myriad Realms Battlefield\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were utterly distinct, each with its own character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summer would bring drought — everywhere would be scorching hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except in special glacial terrain, the air temperature in other terrains could reach over fifty degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn was absolute desolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crops could not grow; all things were saturated with the intent of withering and decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In winter, the water molecules in the air would freeze into ice; the atmosphere would be incredibly dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary terrain would receive heavy snowfall, becoming like an ice cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what governed the four seasons of the Myriad Realms Battlefield\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was not simple weather changes, but Intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intent of spring, intent of summer, intent of autumn, and intent of winter — emitted by the very rules of the Myriad Realms Battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, from spring onward, one had to begin stockpiling food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every new generation of lords descended upon the Myriad Realms Battlefield starting in spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, during other seasons, survival was extremely unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this point, Su Yu had no great worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously learned that Bai Bai Xiaowei possessed the talent \"Spring Year-Round.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talent's effect covered a very large area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the summer, autumn, and winter of the Myriad Realms Battlefield would not hinder his territory's development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farmers would not collapse from the heat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rivers would not dry up due to the summer intent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>plants would not wither because of autumn,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the territory would not cease developing because of winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a certain sense, Bai Bai Xiaowei's talent was considerably powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was precisely why Su Yu was willing to form an alliance with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, the allies of \"Never Fall\" were solely Bai Bai Xiaowei and no one else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other members of the Blue Star Alliance, they were merely in a \"non-hostile relationship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I wish to venture out for some training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeli Yeli Yana glanced at Iloti and the Sylph,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and took the initiative to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could feel the immense power within these two Mythic heroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whichever one it was, she could not afford to provoke either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to quickly raise her level and strengthen her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu did not give it much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having seen Yeli Yeli Yana's abilities, he knew she was the type who preferred to act alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could freely transform into the appearance of others,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and also possessed stealth capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to her, the \"Mind Bewilder\" ability could even control the thoughts of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was practically a perfect assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu also understood why a mere succubus could become a Dark Mythic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With abilities like these,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even a pig could probably become a Mythic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right, help me keep an eye out for an organization called the 'Demon Blood Alliance.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can, infiltrate it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending a level-1 Yeliyana to infiltrate the faction built by the old lord\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was a formidable task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t particularly worried about Yeliyana’s safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, (Prince Zhao’s) Yeliyana was a legend who walked in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, Master.” Yeliyana grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her favorite thing to do was being an undercover agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation of reaping lives with a scythe\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was even more addictive than draining yang energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a succubus,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or rather, an anomaly among succubi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeliyana had, so far, kept her body as pure as a holy maiden’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She preferred blood to bathing in vital essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeliyana vanished from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a territory notification sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu knew it was neither speed nor teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Yeliyana’s stealth ability, “Shadow Dive” Tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black light hidden within the multicolored light,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>leaving not a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go amuse yourselves.
