Chapter 794: Chapter 86: New Spice
The Primitive Maiden Vidage gazed at the Rainbow Silk with eyes full of desire, almost writing the word "want" on her delicate little face.
But Su Li turned a blind eye and ignored it; he was no Junior Wa! If she wants it, she should offer equivalent wealth in exchange. Does she expect him to kneel and lick her, offering up the treasure with both hands just because she’s a woman and said some sweet words?
So Su Li replied, "This is a specialty from my territory, akin to the specialty of your Gem Pool."
Vidage stared unblinkingly at the Rainbow Silk in Su Li’s hands, her eyes practically gleaming, and hastily asked, "What effect does it have?"
Su Li smiled while looking at this simple-minded girl and asked, "You can take a look."
Vidage immediately excitedly leaned forward in front of Su Li; as she bent over, a snow-white expanse was perfectly displayed before Su Li’s eyes, causing his blood to race.
Coincidentally, Vidage’s height only reached Su Li’s waist; as she lowered her head and bent over, it was as if she was lying beneath Su Li, then she cautiously raised her head to look at him and asked, "May I touch it?"
...
This was too ambiguous; even Ariana couldn’t help but glance over—was this Primitive Maiden really so eager?
This scene wasn’t Su Li’s fault; ever since he arrived, he had been keeping decorum and was very composed.
Yet no man could respond indifferently when faced with a nearly-naked, snow-white beautiful maiden lying beneath him, gazing at him with eyes full of frailty and supplication!
Although Vidage was shorter, her figure was well-proportioned, with snow-white skin, and completely exposed, sleek, elongated beautiful legs stretching from toe to thigh.
Su Li may not be Junior Wa, but he’s not a gentleman either—having no reaction would be odd; what man could resist?
Thus, he had to take a deep breath, step back, and say, "If you mean touching the Rainbow Silk, that’s fine."
"Of course that’s what I meant~" Vidage gave Su Li a strange glance, "What else could I be implying?"
The Water Elves around her also didn’t understand, chattering loudly, "This Human Lord says such strange things, I feel he’s indicating something else."
"Is it like those other human men, who get lured into the pool by Water Elves transformed into beauties?"
"Should we transform a beautiful human woman and test him? A beautiful human woman like Vidage? He seems to view Vidage a bit differently. I sense his breathing has gotten heavy."
"How should one seduce men? I hear you need to strip naked."
"And don’t speak! As soon as you speak, men notice our voices are strange. It means becoming a mute bride."
Su Li glanced at them; these little ones really dared to think. Though it might be feasible to be a mute bride, if they transformed into a nude woman swimming in the water, truthfully many men would find it hard to resist, especially in a deserted wilderness, greatly magnifying the darkness in their hearts.
The Illusion Technique in this world is somewhat too powerful; the legend of Water Beauties enticing men to the water leading them to demise is far too common. Among these, Sado’s followers are undoubtedly the most formidable; her underlings, the Desire Demons, appear as either the most handsome men or the most alluring women in mortal eyes.
Su Li encounters one or two Desire Demons sneaking into Hesse Territory every month causing havoc. Once Flash Spear City is established, this phenomenon will undoubtedly intensify. How to deal with it is indeed a matter requiring serious attention.
But Vidage didn’t notice the chatter around her; she was absorbed, fixated on caressing the Rainbow Silk, her breathing growing ardently hot.
Su Li had to shift the topic; otherwise, the atmosphere was too peculiar: "You could perhaps use this Rainbow Silk to make a dress as sheer as cicada wings. Or craft a pair of stockings to wear, which would harmonize better with the Gem Pool’s ambiance."
Vidage imagined herself standing in the water of the Gem Pool wearing thin white silk, her beautiful legs and the Gem Pool shimmering with colorful rainbow light, and her body thrilled with excitement.
She immediately looked at Su Li with bright eyes, eagerly asking, "Can I really? Would you gift this Rainbow Silk to me? I’m willing to do anything for it."
Willing to do anything?
Su Li’s eyes lit up—how wonderful! "Then are you willing to help me with a small matter?"
Saying this, Su Li handed the Rainbow Silk into Vidage’s embrace; this silk weighed a mere pound, unable to craft anything exceptionally high-end. The territory’s silk industry would truly establish post-summer and fall. Giving it to Vidage for her assistance was undoubtedly worthwhile.
Without waiting for Vidage to respond, Su Li immediately said, "I need you to help create a home-like ambiance."
Though Vidage didn’t understand what Su Li meant by creating a home-like ambiance, she instantly took the bundle of raw silk, holding it tightly to her chest, slipping it under the vines as if into her bosom like small buns.
Just as Su Li mentioned before, the Rainbow Silk was perfectly suited to the Gem Pool environment; if she managed to transform it into a veil-like headscarf or stockings, wherever she walked would form a rainbow.
