Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Capítulo 1555: Chapter 133: Piggy Mommy Has No Piglets

Ellie understood well that Hill could not possibly overlook the assimilation array for the wind element creature.

Therefore, surely he knew what she had done.

She wasn’t certain what she was holding onto.

Yet it was after the appearance of the Undead Tribe that she realized Hill was truly of the Eternal Race.

Although he was indeed much older than Ellie, the way the Eternal Race ages is different.

Thus, Hill was actually still young, and whether he was even of age was unknown.

The Undead Tribe said many things, but the clearest memory Ellie had was that this powerful mage had never fallen in love.

They joked, possibly it was because Hill was not yet of age, which explained his indifference towards girls.

This sparked a glimmer of hope in Ellie’s despairing heart… what if, one day, Hill’s gaze upon women began to change?

However, Ellie uncovered something even more terrifying… for Hill, a hundred years was but a fleeting moment. For her, a hundred years meant only fading beauty.

Her mage aptitude was not as strong as Lucimar’s, and while her resources might exceed others, they certainly wouldn’t surpass those of the Young Master of the Ishmael Household.

Maintaining her appearance at middle age seemed difficult.

By then, even if Hill finally appreciated feminine beauty, what would it matter to her?

After all, her father never intended to marry her off, so… Ellie felt, even if she changed form and could no longer bear children, what did it matter?

As for being controlled by Wendy or something similar, Ellie was utterly unconcerned.

Back then, Ellie’s clear view was of Wendy’s fear towards Aesces… thus, a wind fairy completely inspected by the World Master would not have any issues.

So long as she didn’t wholly transform into an elemental creature or venture into the Elemental Realm, surely there would be no problems.

Ellie believed that she wouldn’t reach the worst step.

She lightly stroked her fair, transparent face, free of pores with her fingertips… the Undead Tribe women’s appearance seemed particularly unnatural, so Ellie never thought Hill, as a nature mage, would take a liking to those who defied nature, yet she envied their skin.

Ellie leaned on the sofa and chuckled softly… the gaze of these Undead Tribe women, no longer appeared as if dreaming of some noble loving her.

Ha~

Even if she never won Hill’s love, she gained eternal youth!

Ellie couldn’t even be sure whether the obsession she felt at knowing assimilating with a wind fairy would forever keep her youthful, was for Hill or for the hidden desire… but she wished to attribute it to love.

Thus, she dreaded the idea that some girl might have caught Hill’s different gaze privately… especially an Undead Tribe woman she once envied in secret.

To think that these women, unaffectionate towards each other, acknowledged as peerless beauties, looked like?

Previously, hadn’t they claimed Hill never fancied anyone?

Was there then merely a hint of affection?

Perhaps unrelated to love, but… a warmth in interactions, answers to any question?

Even that a woman could see Hill at any time, never turned away?

Why? Based on what?

Ellie desperately longed to know.

She couldn’t accept Hill being amicable with any woman in front of her!

Thus, whether or not those women were sowing discord… should they speak truthfully, she eventually would become intolerant of this situation!

Previously, lacking confidence, naturally she had to accept Hill’s coldness, others’ ridicule.

But now she didn’t feel inferior to anyone!

She was already a Level Six mage!

In two months she would advance to Level Eight.

In Basia City, she was recognized as a formidable force.

And now, her skin as white as jade, her features more refined… even Luciella, the former Danboro Pearl, couldn’t compare with her beauty.

Ellie was acutely aware that sooner or later her parents would suspect something amiss from her increasing beauty… the initial change could be attributed to a contract with an elemental creature, much like the enhancements the Great Sage Ismael experienced through his fairy partner.

But his appearance was merely refined, not fundamentally altered as Ellie’s was.

Nevertheless, Ellie doubted The Count and Countess would find complaint.

After all, their daughter was supposed to be a powerful mage safeguarding the family.

Wasn’t she strong?

Ellie gently raised her hand, a few strands of breeze swirling around her slender fingertips… It’s said that while Hill is more skilled in Earth System spells, he usually prefers using Storm Power.

She lightly turned her head to look towards the southern cliff… That towering Magic Tower, she still couldn’t see it now.

So, when she can sweep the world with hurricanes, Hill will finally look at her directly, right?

“I want to buy two new sets of evening gowns, Stelter Castle will hold a formal banquet for Ditte after this war.

He will take charge of all of the Earl’s Mansion’s forces and formally take over the defense of Basia City.

I will be my brother’s dance partner, so this time the clothes must be extremely magnificent,” Ellie lazily asked the Undead Tribe girls below, “Can you help me ask Bai Nishang when she can come?”

Ellie smiled at the girls exchanging strange glances… knowing they would surely tell Bai Nishang, but definitely downplay its importance.

And Bai Nishang, who is more concerned about the war, would likely send a few novices over.

That… is exactly what Ellie wanted.

If even these merchants know Hill pays great attention to that woman called ‘Cunlü’, then… Ellie pursed her lips, she would have to think of a way!

She wouldn’t do anything to the Black Rose Family, at most ask them to change cities.

After all, it’s just a family, not their entire Alliance; that Commander won’t oppose her over this minor issue, right?

Then, on a restless night at ‘Snow Cloud Peak’, there appeared a bewildered ‘Lu Huayu’.

Of course, one of them has only one resurrection chance left and doesn’t dare enter battle again, while the other received ambiguous information and withdrew automatically.

“Road Eunuch, have you received a reconciliation letter from Two Lines of Bamboo?” ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ asked, chuckling, at ‘Lu Huayu’, who was looking left and right at a tablet, looking conflicted.

“Ah… ever since I paid off the debt, I often see it.” ‘Lu Huayu’ said in a very gentle tone, “She feared the first thing I’d do with money was get revenge, so even after moving to a place she thought I couldn’t find, she still wrote many emails apologizing to me.

Very sincere, every word and sentence made you feel her regret.

Yet, she hasn’t repaid a penny.”

‘Snow Cloud Peak’ widened eyes in surprise: “Oh? Normally… shouldn’t she deeply regret her shortsightedness and kneel down to beg for forgiveness, asking you to take her back…?”

Snow Old Dog finished the last word boldly under Road Eunuch’s questioning look.

“Two Lines of Bamboo is just bad, not stupid.” ‘Lu Huayu’ sneered, “Have you watched too many soap operas?”

“So, what are you looking at?” ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ quickly changed the topic seeing the situation wasn’t good.

‘Lu Huayu’ pouted and let the Old Dog off.

No help for it, the message from Zhu Meili was so unbelievable that he wondered if he’d been cursed while translating.

He needed to discuss with the Old Dog whether his brain was the problem or if the Eden side was crazy enough.

‘Snow Cloud Peak’ listened to ‘Lu Huayu’s translation, then peeked at the content on his tablet, asking puzzledly: “Wait, ‘Flowers fall and bloom without interruption, spring comes and goes unrelated.

My mom and I both like this poem, so the courtyard always blooms eternal flowers.’

Where in these words does it mention Cunlü?”

‘Lu Huayu’ calmly asked: “The title of that poem is Rose.

We used to mock the name Black Rose as the Baldy of Earth attaching gold to his own face… Rose pretending to be a rose.

Zhu Meili’s mom… isn’t Piggy Mommy?

Would you need me to explain…”

“Ah, no! Walls have ears.” ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ quickly stopped him, eyes darting furtively at ‘Qiuqiu’ and ‘Susu’ standing behind, “I don’t want to be trampled by a pig.”

‘Qiuqiu’ snorted coldly… due to someone’s mouth, the Magic Cult has very few girls.

So they usually play with girls from Alliance Families.

‘Qiuqiu’ and ‘Cunlü’ have quite a good relationship.

“So they want Ellie to deal with Cunlü who is coming tomorrow?

But, let’s not even talk about the Hard Wind that’s there.” ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ looked up at the sky, “If Cunlü just summons her big pig… ah!

The Duchess is too strong to come out, isn’t she?

Then, huh? Is there no little pig?”

“No.” ‘Qiuqiu’ thought for a moment before answering, “The Duchess only gives birth once every three years.

Little pigs take two years to be ready… The Black Rose people still aren’t able to have a pig each!

The Duchess’s children have always been in short supply, anyone who doesn’t get along with Cunlü can’t even touch them, only beg for a great-grandchild.

This year happens to be the third year.”
