Chapter 204: Star Light
“I am a good person?” Old Xie couldn’t help but ask with a laugh: “Are you sure?” He thought to himself, “I just killed over a hundred people last night, and today I’m a good person? This world is really too crazy.”
However, the Siren obviously didn’t know about Old Xie’s deeds last night. She just said very seriously: “Yes, you are a good person!”
“Why?” Old Xie immediately asked in confusion.
“Because you saved me twice, and you didn’t do any bad things to me. Even when I took back the lost treasure of my clan, you didn’t get angry!” The Little Siren then looked at Old Xie with innocent eyes and said: “So, you must be a good person!”
“Is that so?” Old Xie smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said: “Alright, no matter what kind of person I am, let’s eat first. You must be hungry too!” Saying that, Old Xie waved his hand to the back. Soon, several Imps brought up a sumptuous breakfast.
“Come, eat!” Old Xie first sat on one side of the dining table, then signaled the Little Siren to sit down too.
“Thank you, I am really hungry!” The Little Siren said while sitting in front of the dining table. She directly reached out with two hands, picked up the food and stuffed it into her mouth. Of course, the other two hands were still holding the sculpture, showing no intention of giving up.
Watching her manner of eating without any grace, Old Xie couldn’t say why, but his heart felt sour. He secretly shook his head in his heart. Was this the Star Elves Priestess known for Noble etiquette? She was as rude as a wild monkey. Obviously, during the long arduous time, they had lost too much of their civilization’s heritage. So much so that a once incomparably glorious race had fallen to such a pitiful state. Thinking about it, one couldn’t help but sigh with regret.
The Little Siren ate very fast. In a few moves, she finished a small pile of food and drank two bowls of camel milk. She wiped her mouth and stopped with a satisfied look on her face.
Seeing that she was full, Old Xie asked with a smile, “I’ve known you for so long, but I still don’t know your name?”
“My name is Haiya!” The Little Siren said with an honest smile.
“Haiya, good name!” Old Xie praised, then continued to ask: “That day, was it you who knocked down everyone in the Castle?”
“Mm!” Haiya nodded.
“Awesome!” Old Xie immediately gave her a thumbs up and smiled: “Do you know? You not only charmed hundreds of Imps and dozens of Cyclops, you even knocked down a Saint Domain Expert!”
“I didn’t know!” Haiya shook her head and said: “I just wanted to escape, I didn’t really pay attention!”
Just as the Little Siren Haiya finished speaking, a ‘thump’ sound was heard outside. Lan Fake, who was hiding behind the door eavesdropping, directly fell to the ground. He was angered by her. He thought, “I am a Saint Domain Expert after all! To be knocked down by a little girl who ‘didn’t pay attention’, that is a bit too humiliating.”
Seeing that his eavesdropping was exposed, Lan Fake simply rushed in directly, then said angrily to the Little Siren: “Tell me, give it to me straight. Tell me, what method did you use to knock me out that day?”
The Little Siren was startled by Lan Fake and hurriedly retreated a few steps, her face full of guard.
Seeing this, Old Xie immediately gave a bitter smile and said, “You scared her!” Saying that, he pulled Lan Fake aside, then smiled at Haiya, “Don’t be afraid, he is the Saint Domain Expert you knocked down that day. He just felt a bit embarrassed, so he wanted to figure out what happened. He won’t hurt you!”
Hearing Old Xie say this, the Little Siren relaxed a little, then said indifferently, “It was nothing. I sang a Siren’s Song that day, so they all fell asleep!”
“Nonsense!” Lan Fake became anxious as soon as he heard this and immediately shouted angrily, “You? A mere Level 2 or Level 3 little Priestess can sing me down? Do you take me for an idiot who knows nothing? Speak, is it the sculpture in your arms that’s playing tricks!”
Hearing this, the Little Siren Haiya’s little face immediately turned pale. She hugged the sculpture tightly, looked at the two with a guarded expression, and then said firmly, “Mine!”
Lan Fake immediately continued, “You’re talking nonsense, that is clearly our thing. Also, don’t try to fool us, we know this is a Mithril sculpture, and we also know there is a scroll made of Fine Gold inside!”
“Wah!” Hearing this, the Little Siren Haiya immediately started crying loudly. At the same time, her eyes revealed an expression of extreme horror, looking as if she realized the end of the world was coming.
Seeing this, Lan Fake was stunned. He was just a bit depressed just now, so he spoke a bit loudly, but he didn’t expect to scare her to tears. It looked as if he, a Saint Domain Expert, was bullying a poor little girl, which made him extremely awkward.
Old Xie glared at Lan Fake upon seeing this, then wanted to walk over to comfort her. However, unexpectedly, as soon as the Little Siren saw Old Xie coming over, she immediately backed away continuously like a frightened kitten, until her back heavily hit the wall.
Old Xie immediately stopped in his tracks, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and then said with a bitter smile, “What are you actually afraid of? We won’t eat you!”
“But you humans are all very greedy. Since you know what I’m holding is such a precious treasure, you will definitely find a way to take it away, and then kill me!” the Little Siren Haiya cried.
Hearing this, Old Xie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to explain, “Alright, alright, don’t cry. If I wanted to kill you to seize the treasure and silence you, I would have done it in the Great Gobi yesterday. Why would I save you?”
“That’s because you want to trick me into telling the secret of the treasure!” the Little Siren Haiya then said firmly, “However, you can’t fool me. Even if I die, I won’t tell you the secret of my clan’s treasure!”
“Hehe, you are quite sensible!” Old Xie shook his head with a laugh, then said, “Okay, okay, let’s assume your analysis makes sense!”
“Wah!” Hearing Old Xie say this, Haiya immediately cried even more sadly.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry!” Old Xie hurriedly said, “I haven’t finished yet! I really won’t kill you, and I won’t snatch that thing!”
“Really?” Hearing Old Xie say this, Haiya stopped crying, but her face still showed an expression of disbelief.
“Nonsense, of course it’s true!” Lan Fake interrupted from the side, “He is the Royal Family of your Star Elves, how could he kill his own kind?”
As soon as Lan Fake said this, Old Xie immediately became depressed. He was originally unwilling to reveal this identity, but he didn’t expect Lan Fake to have such a big mouth and blurt it out. Old Xie couldn’t help but glare at Lan Fake in anger.
Lan Fake naturally understood what Old Xie meant, and he immediately explained, “With the situation right now, if you don’t say it, will she believe you?”
Hearing this, Old Xie also immediately understood that this was indeed the truth, so he could only sigh and helplessly accept this fact.
However, the Little Siren over there obviously didn’t accept Lan Fake’s words so easily. She immediately said, “You’re lying, he is clearly a human, he doesn’t have our tail, nor does he have four arms, he’s not like us Star Elves at all, how could he be our Star Elves Royal Family?”
“This is a matter determined by the Elves using the Sun God Bow and the Moon Wheel!” Lan Fake said directly, “If you don’t believe it, you can go ask the Elves!”
“You clearly know we have conflicts with the Elves, how can I ask them?” the Little Siren said affirmatively, “You must want to trick me into telling the usage of the treasure, that’s why you made up such a ridiculous lie!”
“Damn it, I am a Saint Domain Expert, do I need to trick a little girl like you?” Lan Fake shouted angrily.
“There are bad guys in the Saint Domain too!” the Little Siren said without showing any weakness, “There are many Saint Domain Experts among the Pirates, they are the best at lying!”
“Heavens, you actually compare me to Pirates?” Lan Fake was so angry that his beard was trembling. If Haiya wasn’t a poor little girl with a pitiful background, he would have definitely gone over and beaten her up severely.
“It’s not that I want to compare you to Pirates, it’s just that your statement is too absurd!” the Little Siren then said, “I can expose your lie right now!”
Saying that, she picked up the sculpture in her arms, and then began to chant an incantation in an unknown language. Soon, the eyes of the Mithril sculpture lit up, and then shot a soft white light onto Old Xie.
Old Xie sensed that this light beam was harmless, so he let it hit him. As a result, after being irradiated by the light beam, Old Xie felt indescribably comfortable all over, as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit.
Seeing that Old Xie had no external reaction, Lan Fake immediately felt suspicious in his heart, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.
However, after seeing Old Xie’s performance, the Little Siren Haiya immediately opened her mouth wide in surprise, and didn’t close it for a long time.
Old Xie saw her surprised look and knew there might be a chance, so he asked with a smile, “How is it? What result did you test?”
“You, you seem to really have the blood of our Star Elves!” the Little Siren Haiya said with an incredible look on her face.
“Oh? How did you judge that?” Old Xie immediately asked curiously.
“Because the magic I just cast through the divine statue is ‘Star Light’. Only we Star Elves will be fine after being hit, while other races will be petrified on the spot!” the Little Siren Haiya explained, “From this, it can be seen that you should be my kind!”
“Petrified?” Hearing this, Old Xie secretly wiped a cold sweat, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “You are ruthless enough! What if I wasn’t a Star Elf, wouldn’t I have been killed by you?”
