“Is it a Human?”
“She seems to have been trapped by the Clan Leader Mistress.”
“How pitiful, she actually provoked the Clan Leader.”
……
Dappled sunlight fell upon her face as Su Yao woke up.
This was probably the most miserable night she had spent since arriving in this world. Between the “Asian Bondage” and “Exposure Play,” even Chlorel wouldn’t play this rough…
That wretched Fairy!
Thinking of that “Barbie doll” with butterfly wings, Su Yao’s teeth itched with rage. Let her wait here obediently for an entire night?
Of course she couldn’t agree to such a thing. She didn’t even know how she had been captured by this Fairy, let alone meeting “The Great Person” she mentioned.
If the other party turned out to be a pervert like Bu’er, wouldn’t she be unable to return to her Town for the rest of her life?
At the thought of never seeing those cute Employees again, Su Yao planned to chant a high-level Fire Magic spell as quickly as possible. Sustaining a few injuries was nothing as long as she could escape back.
However, what the Fairy said was true. The immense force erupting from the Vines around her neck seemed as if it would snap it in two. Even if she dodged the “gagging” branches, the mere fact that she couldn’t make a sound meant she couldn’t cast Magic.
That wasn’t all. Seeing that the mouth couldn’t be gagged, the branches pressed her head directly against the bark behind her, and then a layer of bark grew over her face like a “mask.”
Not to mention the thin Vines on her body; she had already experienced them becoming thicker, tighter, and thorny. As for the other newly added “functions,” the less said, the better.
In short, she had indeed learned one thing: the methods used by this lewd Fairy were certainly effective in interrupting her high-level Magic.
Low-level Magic truly couldn’t do anything against these Vines. Absorbing Magic to undergo deformation was just one of its characteristics.
As for its other properties, it likely included continuously absorbing Magic to heal external damage and striking back if attacked…
Of course, she had tried physical methods as well, but in such a cramped space, she couldn’t exert her full strength. Her hands, having lost their grip, couldn’t use a short blade either.
After struggling all night, she had accomplished nothing except making herself look even more pathetic…
“What are you looking at! Believe it or not, I’ll roast all of you!”
Unbeknownst to her, a crowd of curious “little people” had gathered in front of Su Yao to watch the spectacle. She felt like Gulliver who had drifted into Lilliput.
If she remembered correctly, the Protagonist of that novel also found himself tied up on a beach by “little people” upon waking up…
“She… she’s so scary.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? If she could actually move, she would have come out long ago.”
“I wonder what mistake she made. It seems the Clan Leader has never treated a Human this way.”
……
It was indeed frustrating to be treated like a “monkey” in a zoo by a bunch of little fellows, but she also heard a lot of useful information from these Fairies’ mouths.
Their Clan Leader was named Fulin, a Fairy who had lived for over five hundred years and had always guarded the “Sacred Land,” which was the Lake called “Boneyard.”
The so-called “human disappearances” were nothing more than “Fairies’ pranks.” They used various methods to keep Humans away from that Lake.
Sometimes it was “getting lost,” sometimes it was “Monster harassment,” and sometimes they were directly taken to the Fairy kingdom before being released…
In most cases, they had no ill intent, satisfying their own naughtiness and playfulness while preventing Humans from intruding upon their Sacred Land.
But Su Yao’s situation was completely different. She had tried to leave and was captured back.
And recalling what the Fairy Clan Leader had said about “The Great Person in the lake”…
Wait a minute, she wouldn’t be thrown into the Lake by these guys, would she? A human sacrifice?
Weren’t these supposed to be just “Fairies’ pranks”? How did a group of harmless little cuties suddenly change their style when it came to her?
This was bad. As expected, she had to find a way to escape quickly.
“Clan Leader Mistress!”
“The Clan Leader Mistress is here!”
“Clan Leader Mistress, this evil Human just said she was going to roast us.”
This was too much! How could there even be a Fairy giving a Monster Report! Don’t let her find a chance to escape!
“You all go back first. I have some words to say to her.”
The silver-haired Fairy named Fulin called away the other curious little Fairies, then raised her hand and released her from the “stump.”
Su Yao stared at her with an unfriendly expression. Her initial curiosity and excitement had long since vanished after the night’s ordeal.
If she had the chance, she definitely wouldn’t show any mercy this time.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want me to satisfy those strange ‘kinks’ of yours?”
Peeping at someone’s Memory was one thing, but her tongue was so sharp. This person’s stats in a certain area were even higher than Chlorel’s!
“What exactly do you want? Those little guys just said that you Fairies aren’t supposed to harm Humans, right?”
“I’ve already told you I have no intention of harming you. But, are you a Human?”
The silver-haired Fairy’s counter-question made Su Yao pause. Based on the abilities Fulin had demonstrated, she should have the power to “peek into others’ Memory.”
In that case, why did this Fairy think she wasn’t a Human?
She didn’t see Su Yao’s life before becoming a ball? Does that mean her ability can only access Memory from a certain period? That’s why she chose to disguise herself as Leya!
There’s a way. There’s still a trump card on her that the Fairy probably hasn’t discovered!
“So what if I’m not? I haven’t provoked you!” Su Yao asked. Testing the Fairy’s goal was one thing; on the other hand, she was a bit hesitant about whether to use her trump card…
“Mistress wants to see you. It told me to bring you there.”
Whatever she feared came true. It looked like she would have to be submerged in this Lake…
Even though being submerged in the Lake probably wouldn’t do much, what if “The Great Person” Fulin mentioned was like that Red-haired Woman calling herself Bu’er and played some kind of “Tentacle Play”?
“What exactly is ‘The Great Person’ you’re talking about? A fish-type Demonic Beast? A Water Sprite? Or something else…”
She had to at least pry some information about that “Mistress” out of her.
“Your question just now was quite rude. However, to make you cooperate obediently, I don’t mind telling you. Simply put, it’s an existence that once nurtured our clan, similar to what you call an ‘ancestor’? Anyway, it has existed in this Lake for a very long time.”
She felt things were sounding worse and worse… But this person just said she should cooperate? Does that mean they need something from her?
“Who kidnaps and tortures someone all night and then has the nerve to ask for cooperation!”
“Hmph, it’s your own fault for insisting on escaping! Besides, I only just found out what The Great Person needs you for. It only said to make you stay yesterday.”
Tsk, how irritating. This Fairy traps her for a whole night and still acts like she’s in the right!
“Since it’s for help, you should at least untie these Vines, shouldn’t you? I can’t even walk like this.”
“You don’t need to worry about that~”
With that, Fulin summoned a Treant. “This child will take you there. I have a feeling that if I untie these ‘Mana-Eating Vines,’ you’ll do something naughty. So, please enjoy yourself until we reach the Lake Island.”
Enjoy? Enjoy what?
“Untie me! I promise I won’t smack your butt! Do you hear me! Hey…”
