Chapter 1145 A few improvements...
The next morning, Eldrin quietly waited outside the inn as he sat in a nearby eatery and ordered some breakfast. However, despite waiting for an hour and a half, the person he was looking for did not look like she was going to walk out anytime soon.
"Arrogant brat!" Eldrin grumbled as he decided to head upstairs personally and check what the delay was.
As soon as he arrived at the first floor, he saw a hooded figure standing in the corridor. "You are still here? I know I said beauty is important but you cannot take all day to get ready. You-"
Eldrin stopped his rant, noticing something weird. When he looked closer he saw that the elven girl standing in front of him still possessed the same figure as before.
"Impossible! How are you still flat-chested?"
Elira snapped to look at him, glaring in anger. "I am not flat-chested!"
"Hrm. I beg to differ." Eldrin argued without caring about the anger in her tone. "Did you take the pill or not? Fine. There is no point in talking to you. I will directly talk with your master." He sighed in exasperation as he prepared to knock on the door.
But before he could do so, Elira quickly appeared in front of him and blocked his path. "You are not to disturb my master at the moment."
"Huh? And who are you to say that?" Eldrin's eyes became dangerously narrow. "A mere slave girl shouldn't be so cheeky. You have no idea how important this is. You both are taking it far too lightly."
"You! You are going too far. I am stopping you because of the master's orders. I might be a slave but I am not your slave. I am not afraid of death or anything else for that matter. You cannot threaten me. You don't scare me."
Eldrin's eyes immediately turned cold, his previous playful mannerisms completely disappearing. "I don't scare you? That's not good for you. You should be scared of me. I am a very dangerous person."
He stared at the elven girl who also gazed back at him with an equal intensity. Neither of them was willing to back down. Thankfully, before things could devolve further, the door of the room barged open. n)/o.)v//e.(l/)b((1)/n
"So noisy." Liam walked out. "Do you both plan on stopping this bickering any time soon or are you waiting to get caught first? Hmm?"
Bickering? The two elves stared at Liam with their mouths open. They were ready to kill each other but suddenly they looked as if they were two kids caught by the teacher.
'Damn it. I have the higher level here. Why am I being afraid?' Eldrin quickly regained his composure. "What happened to the pill I gave you?" He asked Liam, ignoring everything else.
"I am not using that." Liam unexpectedly replied.
Eldrin's temper immediately flared up. First, it was the slave girl. Now it was this human bastard. Did they take him for a fool?
"Fine. This has nothing to do with me. I only offered the extra assistance because I intended to help you."
Eldrin crossed his arms and turned to the other side. "Just let me know when you are ready to leave." He tossed a communication crystal to Liam. He then proceeded to walk away as if none of this had anything to do with him.
He went back to the same eatery and ordered something stronger this time around. "Let me see what you are doing without my help." Eldrin snorted coldly as he watched the entrance of the inn.
Another hour later, a hooded figure finally emerged out of the inn. It had to be that arrogant elven brat because naturally, he had placed a tracker on her too.
More importantly, even from a distance, Eldrin could tell that she was now different. Her figure had become more appealing. He quickly stood up and appeared in front of the hooded figure.
"So in the end, you did take my pill! Where did your pride go now?" Eldrin pulled one end of his lips upward as he contemptuously glanced at the young girl after blocking her path.
"Move out of the way." Elira lowered her hood a little as she glared angrily at the guy.
Eldrin was just about to say something when suddenly no words escaped his mouth. Standing in front of him was someone entirely different.
Her features were still recognizable, but they were enhanced in a way that went beyond mere physical beauty. It was as though her very presence radiated a certain aura that commanded attention and respect.
He had seen many beautiful women so far. However, the woman in front of him was... perfect? Was that the word he was looking for?
She was spectacular in every way. She was a goddess transcended. She was a woman capable of toppling empires. She could step over anyone she wished to!
What kind of transformation was this? How could this be possible? The beauty pill he gave should not be giving such a result!
Stunned, Eldrin took a step back, his eyes widening. "What did you... How did you..."
Elira smirked. "I didn't take your pill. It turns out, I don't need it. Master has his own ways."
She brushed past him, her new aura leaving a lingering sense of awe in her wake. Eldrin was left staring, his mind racing to catch up with what had just transpired.
For a long time, he stood there, unable to form a coherent thought. Finally, he snapped out of his trance and looked at the small inconspicuous room located on the first floor of the inn.
Without wasting another second, he ran back to the same room.
"Liam?" He barged into the room once again, only to find the entire place filled with a medicinal aroma. Only then the obvious dawned on him. "You concocted your own pill?"
"No." Liam shook his head. "I just made a few improvements to the pill that you provided."
"A few improvements you say..." Eldrin gulped. Just what sort of a monster was this human being?
