Under Vivian's supervision, Elise could only recount the events to her with 'utter helplessness.' Upon learning that Elise had actually confronted a demigod, her expression became even more dangerous.
"I remember you promised me you wouldn't do anything dangerous, right?"
"Although it's facing a demigod, it's not actually that dangerous. I've already calculated everything."
"Now that you've calculated everything, you just need to stay behind the scenes and let others handle the rest!"
"I understand." Elise nodded obediently, then gave a mischievous smile. "But I'll definitely do it again next time, so are you going to teach me a lesson?"
Looking at Elise, who showed no intention of resisting, Vivian was not moved; in fact, she felt a little helpless.
How could she not see that Elise was doing it on purpose, deliberately acting arrogantly and provoking her, but in reality, she probably really wanted something to happen between them?
Or rather... he wanted to take revenge on himself.
Volume 1: Chapter 758 Promise me you won't die
Seeing Vivian suddenly fall silent, Elise's lips curled up slightly.
Even though she's so smart that she can guess what she's thinking, she still can't avoid being influenced.
Even though Vivian managed her expression perfectly, Elise still caught a glimpse of melancholy in her eyes.
But at that moment, Vivian, who had been silent all along, suddenly moved closer to her and kissed Iris on the lips.
A look of surprise flashed in Elise's eyes, but she quickly responded to Vivian's initiative.
The kiss was very sweet, but it was a bit of a pity that Vivian didn't take it any further.
Looking at the regretful Elise, Vivian said calmly, "I will not touch you until you are fully recovered, so just give up on that idea."
"You were just flirting with me, and now you're saying such cold things. How cruel of you!" Elise said with a resentful expression.
"You didn't come to see me just to show me all these injuries, did you?"
"of course not."
After confirming that Vivian would not make any further moves, Elise also adopted a more languid posture and said, "I plan to have someone obtain the materials needed for the Empire's God-Making Project in advance, and then exchange them with the Empire for some things that will be useful to us."
"what do you think?"
"Sure, but what about the risks?"
"How could there be no risk in getting involved with God? But with my plan, the risk should be minimized."
Upon hearing Elise's words, Vivian instinctively asked, "Are you planning to get involved again?"
"I know you care about me, but if I don't do some things, I'll never have the chance again. You don't want to see me suddenly die, do you?"
"I……"
Vivian bit her lower lip. Although what Elise said made a lot of sense, it didn't stop her from wanting to lock the other person up and correct her severely.
However, Elise was not intimidated by Vivian's dangerous gaze at all; in fact, she even felt a little eager to try.
When Elise saw Vivian reach out her hand, she was even prepared to be hit, but unexpectedly, the slender, white hand gently touched her cheek.
Vivian rested her forehead on Elise's shoulder and said softly, "Promise me you won't try to kill yourself, okay? If you die, you won't be able to see how heartbroken I am for you."
Elise was somewhat stunned, not expecting Vivian to speak to her in such a gentle tone.
A brief silence fell over the large office.
"How could someone as afraid of death as me actively seek to die? Don't overthink it."
"I hope you can keep your word."
"Speaking of which, my shoulder seems a little damp. Do you have any clues?"
"No."
Vivian raised her head again, her slightly reddened eyes making her words completely unconvincing.
But it must be said that Vivian looked really alluring at that moment; wasn't this exactly the scene she had always wanted to see?
Vivian turned her head away, avoiding Elise's gaze, before saying calmly, "If you have nothing else to say, then get lost and don't interfere with my work."
"Really not going to do it?"
"Don't do it!"
Elise wanted to say something, but before she could utter a word, Vivian had already kicked her out of the office.
The maid who had been standing guard at the door looked at Iris, who had been kicked out of the office, and said respectfully, "Miss Iris, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"No need, someone doesn't really want to see me right now, I'll be going now." Just as Elise was about to leave, she seemed to remember something and took out an exquisite headband from her spatial ring.
This was found by Elira in the elven ruins. It can clear the user's mind and relieve some mental fatigue, making it a very suitable ancient relic for Vivian.
"Please give this to her for me; I forgot to take it out."
"Ok."
After watching Elise leave, the maid knocked on the office door and went inside.
"Is there something you need?" Vivian had already readjusted her emotions and seemed no different from usual, but if you looked closely, you could still notice the slightly reddened corners of her eyes.
Vivian's personal maid was such a thoughtful person that after noticing this detail, her admiration for Elise was beyond words.
Since becoming Miss Vivian's personal maid, only Miss Elise has been able to make her mistress cry.
"This is what Miss Elise asked me to give you before she left." The maid briefly explained the function of the headband and then tactfully left the office.
Looking at the gifts left by Elise, Vivian's lips curled up slightly, but that happiness was quickly replaced by melancholy.
Elise's mental state is not right. Although she has been mentally unstable before, it seems to have become more and more obvious recently.
What exactly caused this?
After a moment's thought, Vivian decided to have someone invite Sally over.
……
On the other side, after parting ways with Vivian, a hint of hesitation flashed in Elise's eyes.
She had originally intended to find Elena and then try to provoke her to satisfy her dark side, but after just meeting Vivian, Elise felt she might need to stabilize her mental state first.
She knows she's mentally unstable; having died and been reborn countless times, it's a miracle she hasn't gone insane.
If it were a normal rebirth, she could go all out without a problem, but this rebirth was the one with the greatest hope in her life, and she didn't want her mental health issues to cause any accidents.
So Elise decided to go into Theresa's memories to stabilize her mental state.
Nowhere was the world better than the one Teresa remembered. No one would suddenly jump out and take her life, and there was no need to scheme and plot against others.
With that in mind, Elise didn't hesitate and had the World Tree teleport her to the front of Theresa's cabin.
She didn't even knock before the door was opened.
Theresa walked directly behind Elise and pushed her wheelchair into the house.
"Why do you seem completely unsurprised?"
"Because of 2, Mi Xia just came by and told me about your situation." Although Theresa already knew that Iris was injured beforehand, seeing it with her own eyes brought her a different feeling.
She stroked Elise's shoulder with a touch of tenderness, her fingertips clearly feeling the cycle of the cracks healing and then cracking again.
If Iris weren't a chosen one, she might have become Iris-chan by now.
The thought of that situation made a hint of panic appear in Theresa's eyes.
Elise had no intention of flirting with Theresa, but to her surprise, the other woman suddenly became distressed for her.
Volume 1: Chapter 759 Familiar Yet Strange
"So, what brings you here, little maid?"
"Yes, she asked for some of my blood, and I gave it to her directly."
Theresa didn't care at all about her own blood. Even if the little maid used her blood to curse her, it didn't matter, since she herself was an aggregate of curses.
However, as she used a portion of the curse within her body to feed the brand, Theresa's strength has now broken through to the seventh rank, and she is even steadily progressing towards the eighth rank.
Unlike others, she was already almost a demigod if she weren't cursed. It's just that the accumulation of various curses prevented her from unleashing her true power.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be using the power of the True Ancestor's blood to borrow your strength."
"Yeah, I guessed it."
There was no need for Elise to explain. Having lived for countless years in her past life, she already knew the little maid's purpose. She even reminded the little maid to be careful when using her blood so as not to get tainted by the curse.
“I want to enter your memories and rest for a while,” Elise said, revealing the purpose of her trip.
"Okay, you can rest for as long as you want."
"Aren't you afraid I'll stay in there for ten or eight years?"
"Don't worry, if you want, you can stay in my memory forever."
At this moment, Elise could feel an incredibly heavy emotion in Theresa's eyes, but she didn't care at all, and even somewhat enjoyed the feeling.
The feeling of being loved.
"Then let's get started."
Theresa nodded gently, then without hesitation extracted a curse from her body and fed it to the curse mark that was unique to her.
As the curse was swallowed up, memories of her past life began to surface. Teresa gently leaned back in her chair and slowly closed her eyes.
After Theresa entered a state of recollection, Elise also used the Mark of Sloth to enter her memories.
For the first time in a long time, Theresa regained control of her body in her memories. Just as she was about to look for Iris, Iris's familiar voice rang in her ears: "I'm here."
Elise sat down next to Theresa, looking at the familiar surroundings with a relaxed expression.
However, having taken the rare opportunity to access Theresa's memories, Iris seemed to remember something and asked, "Do gods still exist in this world?"
"I don't know, but I killed all those who plotted against you," Theresa said calmly.
"As expected of you, you've avenged me!"
"It was just venting my anger. Everything will be meaningless now that you're dead." If it weren't for the traces of Elise still remaining in this world, she might...
The Teresa in my memory is not just Teresa, but more like a combination of two Teresas. When I speak, I always unconsciously put myself into the Teresa in my memory.
At first, Elise wasn't quite used to it, but after living together for a while, she got used to it.
“It’s not entirely meaningless. Now I know what you did for me, don’t I? You have no idea how touched I am~” Elise looked straight at Theresa, her eyes filled with longing for pleasure.
When Elise entered Theresa's memory, she was completely unharmed, so Theresa did not hesitate and quickly immersed herself in pleasure with Elise.
……
Three years—in just one afternoon—Elise spent three years in Theresa's memories.
Although Elise could have indulged for much longer, she was afraid that if she got used to it, she would be immersed in empty memories.
"Don't dwell too much on the past."
When Elise woke up, she vaguely heard a sentence that sounded familiar, as if she had heard it before.
When Theresa woke up at the same time, she looked at Iris, who was still somewhat confused, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her cheek.
Sensing Theresa's subtle movement, Elise snapped back to reality: "I'm fine, it's just that I've just left your memories, and I'm a little... not used to it yet."
“If you wish to continue, I can lift another curse.” Theresa’s voice was calm, yet it sounded like a devil’s whisper.
However, Elise had long since passed the stage of being easily tempted, and a seductive smile bloomed on her lips: "You've become bad too, trying to seduce me now."
"Well, after all, I've lived with you for over a decade. Even if it's just in my memory, it will still leave a trace of your presence."
"Your memories are beautiful to me, but I always feel like someone told me that I shouldn't dwell too much on them."
"Who said that?"
"forget."
Elise frowned. She could remember everything that happened on the first day she transmigrated, but she just couldn't remember who had said those words.
I feel like I've heard it somewhere before, but I have absolutely no recollection of it.
Are you hungry? I'll go make you some food.
"Okay, please."
Unable to think of anything, Elise didn't force herself. She simply maneuvered her wheelchair away from the cabin. By this time, it was completely dark outside, but that didn't stop Elise from admiring Theresa's flower garden.
If she remembered correctly, the reason Teresa created a large flower garden around the cabin was because she had once told Teresa that her future home should be filled with flowers. She never expected that her casual remark would be remembered by Teresa to this day.
