Weibai looked at the red fruit in front of him, feeling extremely confused.
Why did Taurani pull out a red fruit for him?
‘She really is treating me like a child, isn’t she?!’
“What is this? Why should I take this fruit?”
Weibai looked at Taurani, only to see her holding the red fruit with a mischievous smirk on her face.
“Well…”
Just as Weibai curiously leaned in to listen, Taurani deliberately paused.
‘What is it?!’
Weibai felt quite uncomfortable being teased like this.
“You’ll know once you turn into little Weiwei~”
Taurani winked at Weibai while pinching the red fruit.
“No.”
As soon as Taurani finished speaking, Weibai rejected her flatly.
The moment he heard that he would have to turn into Mo Baiwei, Weibai’s curiosity vanished.
Although being teased was unpleasant, it was far better than turning into Mo Baiwei.
‘I won’t just turn into an Elf on a whim; it would be troublesome if someone were to use that against me.’
Moreover, the Blood Demon in front of him seemed to have some unusual thoughts about him.
His intuition told him these thoughts were dangerous, and he needed to stay away from Taurani.
However, he had his own way of secretly discovering the fruit’s origin.
“That’s a pity.”
Taurani feigned a look of regret, slowly pulling her hand back.
“Little Weiwei would have really liked this.”
Hearing Taurani say this, Weibai’s eye twitched.
Instinct told him this was definitely not anything good.
Still, he could satisfy his curiosity another way.
“Tear of Lirvea, Identification.”
Weibai fixed his gaze on the fruit, one hand clutching the pendant at his chest as he activated the Identification function.
Lines of annotations and interpretations that only Weibai could see appeared before his eyes, deciphering every object within his field of vision.
Soon, the details regarding the red fruit appeared.
**[Item Name: Crimson Fruit of Hellafana (Scientific Name: Hella Fruit)]**
**[Type: Edible Berry]**
**[Function: Upon consumption, the user will experience irresistible and extreme pleasure, accompanied by a strong sense of comfort and mental relaxation. It causes the user to subconsciously speak their inner thoughts. Often used during interrogations to extract confessions.]**
**[Note: Effects are doubled for Elves and are accompanied by a hidden effect. Additionally, Hella Fruit has a strong attraction for Elves.]**
After reading the interpretation, Weibai silently lowered his hand from his chest.
He watched quietly as Taurani put the Hella Fruit into her pocket.
Weibai suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion sprouting and spreading within him, making him very irritable.
“Why did you give me this?”
Weibai asked Taurani, his tone incredibly calm.
“Because it’s a reward for little Weiwei~”
Taurani, still unaware of Weibai’s thoughts, continued to tease him.
“Get out.”
At this moment, Weibai completely ignored Taurani’s words.
His heart was filled with extreme agitation, and he only wanted this Blood Demon to leave his room.
Seeing Weibai’s unusual tone, Taurani reined in her attitude, her expression returning to a dignified state.
“What is the matter, Mr. Francis?”
“You know better than I do. Get out.”
Weibai didn’t want to say more.
Right now, he just wanted to be alone for a while.
Feeling the persistence and determination in Weibai’s voice, Taurani thought for a moment before placing the Hella Fruit on the bed and walking out the door without a word.
Weibai locked the door with great irritation and then collapsed heavily onto the bed.
Looking up at the ceiling, he felt a sense of exhaustion.
The sensory abilities of Elves were the strongest among all races.
This perception included not only the surrounding environment but also the ability to sense the inner emotions of others, and Weibai, as a Mixed-blood Elf, was no exception.
There was once a rumor that Elves could feel pure emotions, and any hypocritical disguise would make them feel sad.
When an Elf’s heart suffered a deep wound, they would die in agony and despair.
Therefore, one had to treat an Elf with the most Sincere emotions, even if it was the purest form of annoyance.
But Weibai still couldn’t understand.
Taurani was just one of the many passersby he had met, and their interaction hadn’t been that deep.
Why did he feel this way? This mysterious agitation.
‘Was it because I truly considered her a friend, only for her to do something so excessive?’
Why did Taurani give him that fruit?
He had even begun to gradually trust her, only to be met with such a massive disappointment.
That red fruit called a Hella Fruit was clearly nothing good.
Just looking at the interpretation given by the pendant made Weibai loathe the idea of touching it.
Furthermore, it had extra effects on Elves, meaning she had clearly prepared it specifically for him.
This meant Taurani had meticulously planned this whole scene.
She knew exactly what the fruit did, and based on what she said, she had planned everything out.
‘And here I thought I could finally have a real friendship.’
‘Why does it always end like this?’
Weibai tossed and turned on the bed until his body touched a soft, spherical object.
He sat up and looked at it, seeing it was the Hella Fruit Taurani had left on the bed.
In his agitated state, Weibai immediately wanted to throw the fruit out of the window, but for some reason, he thought about it and put the Hella Fruit back down.
‘Should I just leave this fruit here for now?’
A sliver of hope remained in his heart, thinking that perhaps the fruit wasn’t something Taurani gave him intentionally, but rather something she had found by chance.
Although the possibility was microscopic.
Looking at the fruit, Weibai felt his mind becoming more of a mess the more he thought about it.
“Forget it, I’ll go out for a look,” Weibai sighed, stuffing the Hella Fruit carelessly into his pocket.
At this moment, he only wanted to go out and clear his head, and incidentally see this city he had never visited before.
Unlocking the door, Weibai entered the inn’s corridor.
After heading down a few flights of stairs, he soon felt the sunlight greeting him.
A gentle breeze constantly brushed against his cheeks, providing a slight relief to the irritation in his heart.
Looking at the pedestrians passing by the entrance, Weibai felt as if every person’s face was shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see their true thoughts.
‘Hypocrisy.’
‘They look friendly on the surface, but everyone has their own hidden agendas.’
This was Weibai’s evaluation of them.
However, there was one person who was an exception.
She treated him with complete honesty, never hiding anything.
Weibai could feel Sincerity from her.
‘I wonder if Mida is doing alright in Karven City? Will she still be bullied now that I’m gone?’
Weibai muttered to himself, looking around the inn’s entrance before picking a random direction and walking away.
Labia City was much more prosperous than Karven City; the number of pedestrians and carriages on the streets was more than twice that of Karven City.
Although Kevin County had been plagued by bandits recently, Labia City remained largely unaffected due to its proximity to the Papal State and the Saragon Kingdom.
The merchant caravans and pedestrians on the road were still endless.
“Where should I go next?”
Arriving at a crossroad, Weibai looked at the pedestrians coming and going from all directions, feeling somewhat hesitant.
