Chapter 1005 No Touch
Elysia helped Elena to sit up, then tapped her chin as if considering something.
She couldn't let Elena go on like this because she knew Elena didn't really reflect it. "Hmm, I can't leave you with this light punishment, or you won't heed my words. You are my precious guardian angel, not a perv angel. Hmm~ let's see... Ah, yes, you are not allowed to touch me.
Elysia had just spoken, but Elena held her forehead to check if she had a fever. Therefore, she immediately explained Elena's punishment in more detail. "No, no, don't touch me. You can't. I have no fever. Anyway, you're not allowed to touch me for a week, and it including my spirit, or anything that has a form or picture that resembles me. Am I clear?"
"What, what kind of punishment is that? I won't be able to sleep if I don't cuddle you. I'm not going to treat your helpless spirit like a cuddle doll on a whim, but can you skip my punishment for that? I always handle you with utmost care." Elena turned pale. She couldn't survive that kind of punishment.
"Then please behave well. Your sentence may be extended or shortened depending on your performance. Please don't think of me as a meanie." Elysia tried her best to become dominant as she didn't wish Elena to become unrestrained.
Elena opened her mouth, but Elysia's expression was gravely serious. She played a little over the top and invited this upon herself. Therefore, she only had to behave well and could waive that week's sentence.
"Until when are you going to stand there and watch? Come in here." Elysia spoke towards the door.
*Knock* *Knock*
Rhea flinched in shock and immediately knocked on the door. She opened it and went inside, feeling awkward and embarrassed.
"I don't see anything, master. My lips are tight lipped." Rhea raised her palm to defend herself.
"It's okay. What's Yuuki's situation?" Elysia heaved a subtle sigh and replied with a dismissive hand wave.
Rhea cleared her throat before answering. "Yuuki is still familiarizing herself with her new power. She managed to make an ice floating island and an ice meteor."
"Hmm, it's almost time for dinner. Everyone has been training hard the past three days. It's time for them to take a short break to rest and relax." Elysia got up from her meditation bed.
"Luna and the girls are preparing a feast dinner for the same. They already know your intention, master." Rhea nodded slightly.
"They're so considerate. Then, let's go there now." Elysia smiled as she walked to the exit.
"..." Elena showed no sign of getting off the bed. She just sat there, silently staring at Elysia's back.
"Why are you staying there? Come with me." Elysia felt a bit awkward being stared at by Elena intensely.
"Ah~ My Lil Ely still cares and loves me." Elena flew near Elysia.
"You are still in prison. Don't try anything funny. I need to cure your obsession and bad conduct." Elysia raised her palm and took a step back.
"Mou, okay. this big sister will be an honorable person, kind big sister for your sake then. I will cut your rebellious period into three days or maybe one day!"
"What's rebellious? That's your sentence."
"Is it like that, Lil Ely? I know you can't bear to punish this lovely big sister of yours. Don't be shy and just receive my sisterly affection."
"Who, who is embarrassed? I'm angry now. I will ignore you."
"Yes, yes, you are angy, and big sister is sowwy, hee-hee~"
Elysia snorted and pretended to ignore Elena, and the latter was no pushover.
Elena spoke like a guilty big sister trying to make up with her little sister by improving one's mood. She knew what she should do now because Elysia was still temperamental with her.
"..." Rhea followed closely behind. Somehow, she was amused by the exchange between Elena and Elysia.
Elysia previously went to the bed chamber for meditation, and something clearly happened because of Elena, causing Elysia to become angry. Rhea assumed the situation was like that and moved on from the matter. However, she would always remember the previous scene where Elena was punished by Elysia. It was a rare sight to behold, but that didn't mean she would disclose it to anyone.
"I was just about to come to you, but we meet here." Ai greeted from the other side of the corridor.
"Hi~ Thanks for helping Sylvi, Ai. Come with us to the courtyard. Everyone is there for dinner." Elysia ran away from Elena's side and went to hold Ai's hand.
"Hmm?" Ai felt something was happening between Elysia and Elena, but it wasn't serious. She agreed to the invitation and left hand-in-hand with Elysia.
'Ellie, sorry to call you suddenly. However, I feel that I need to tell you about this.' Erina suddenly contacted Elysia via the spirit connection between worlds.
'Eriri, I mean, Erin? What's the situation?' Elysia stopped in her tracks as she felt Erina would say something important.
'A new nickname for me? Hehe, it sounds like we're one step closer. I will love that. Ahem, back to the main topic. This is related to the package you asked me to deliver to the Avery Family.' Erina then explained the situation that occurred on Earth.
Erina sent someone to the destination that Elysia wrote about and served as a special courier. Arriving at the location, the special courier sought audience with the three Avery Family members as if he was someone important.
The special courier conveyed his intention and handed them the super important package. They initially refused because it came from an unknown sender, and the courier was suspicious. However, the situation changed when the courier introduced himself as someone from the Minamoto Group.
The Avery Family's patriarch opened the package on the spot and found three colorful amulets there. A piece of paper explaining the sender's friendly intentions was slipped inside.
Unfortunately, the three of them just took it for granted. They had no faith in the so-called amulet protection because they didn't believe in mystical powers.
'I see, it's okay. They have read my note and received the amulets. Those items will at least serve their purpose as my parting gifts to the deceased's family. Thank you, Erin.' Elysia appreciated Erina's help. She then changed the subject. 'How about your cultivation progress? You sound excited about something.'
'It was only a small effort, Ellie. Anyway, I've managed to learn a new technique and skill! I will be participating in the martial arts gathering next week.' Erina was feeling super excited.
'Woah, you might scare everyone away. Please have a bit of mercy to those poor souls. Your golden touch alone is deemed dangerous by the government, but what if you could master it and use it as a weapon?'
'I will become one of the world's top powerhouses soon. This is just my first step so that not just anyone can mess up with my family.'
'Alright, good luck! You always have me as your backing. Please tell me if anyone dares to bully you.'
Elysia talked about some other thing with Erina and then ended the conversation.
"What's wrong?" Ai asked confusedly.
"Erina only reported the results of the assignment I gave her. I thought something went wrong, but everything went according to my expectations." Elysia reassured Ai.
Moments later, everyone joined the dinner feast hosted by the Goddess of Blessings.
"Hory shet. After I thought about it again, I thought this group consisted of many clashing individuals. The void, chaos, divine light, nature, life, blessings, and several elements. However, why did they all get along so well?" Sorush drank his wine through his favorite gourd.
"It's been a few days. Can we go visit the other three Gods. I want to see their pathetic faces soon!" Aether was already lying on the floor, dead drunk.
"What's wrong with them? Even the ghost can get drunk?" Elysia found that a bit odd.
"Hmm, they were in a deep slumber in those long years. What they drank was the coral ghost champagne. Even supernatural entities won't be free from the effects of being drunk for a night. They might have had so much pent up stress after regaining their sobriety?" Rhea explained based on her understanding.
"Hmm, do they have a chance to recover a complete entity? Can they be revived?" Elysia whispered softly to Rhea and Lifa as she covered her mouth.
"Nothing is impossible, but it's not worth the sacrifice. The price is tremendous. Please don't mention it in front of them because they want liberation once they complete their purpose of existence." Lifa shook her head.
"That shouldn't be done because they would vanish once their purpose ends. Their other parts are alive somewhere in the vast universe. They may be living a happy life there." Rhea didn't suggest it even though she knew Elysia could do it. She also didn't want Elysia to pay such a heavy price to fulfill the unnecessary idea.
"The purpose of their existence is to pass their legacies and inheritances to promising future generations. They don't wish for revival." Elena took a sip of a light wine to blow the stress out of her mind.
Elysia's words about a week of punishment repeated in her mind, and it weighed on her mentally.
"Alright then." Elysia no longer brought up such a topic. She tapped one of her divine bracelet artifacts to invite someone to join. "Zera, join us for the dinner."
"Hmm?" Zera looked up, then at Celestia. She had just finished cultivating this cursed sword and trained a useful technique and skill, but she took longer than expected.
"Yes, master! I'll be there~" Zera immediately exited her bracelet realm to answer her master's call.
Seeing Zera and Ai around Elysia, Sylvia took that chance to approach them.
