Chapter 63 Loya's Turn
"Okay, that's great."
Looking around, Loya was quite satisfied with her room.
Despite the setbacks and being beaten by that annoying fat woman, she finally moved into the Raino family home she had always longed for.
Although it was just a guest room, Loya thought it was better than the most luxurious hotel room. Not only did it have a small private bathroom for showering and using the toilet, but the bed was also large and soft, making you want to fall asleep as soon as you lay down.
It's easy to imagine that Lei Ye's own bed must be incredibly soft; it would be so comfortable to sleep on it.
That bed is Loya's current clear goal; she is determined to become the mistress of that bed.
Now is not the time to take a break. Let's organize the intelligence we have at hand. Loya, who was lying on the bed, sat up cross-legged, closed her eyes and pondered, like an old Taoist priest starting to meditate.
If you include all of them, there are many competitors, but the real threats are actually all in this room.
First is Venus.
Loya had done a background check; this person's identity was flawless, he was almost completely bound to Lei Ye, and he had a truly magnificent face and incredibly powerful physical attributes.
There's no way to confront this person head-on.
Fortunately, her personality was equally perfect; she never competed or fought for anything, content to be a humble maid.
This is a disguise!
She can fool others, but not Loya. This girl, who looks like an energetic little child, actually has the heart of a woman!
You can tell something from her unfriendly attitude towards me. Of course, she was never well received every time she insisted on visiting Lei Ye's house, but Venus's unfriendly attitude towards me varied depending on the circumstances. Most of the time, she could treat me like an ordinary guest and prepare warm tea for me. But once she discovered that Loya was trying to get close to Lei Ye in some mysterious way, she would immediately put her hands on her hips and join Lei Ye in agreeing.
We can't simply treat her as a child; she's her rival in love. But just as Loya determined first, there's no way to confront her directly, so we can't oppose her yet; instead, we need to build a good relationship with her.
First, get her to accept your existence, then use her seemingly unassuming and non-competitive nature to take your place. You're guaranteed to win.
Recently, the child's gaze has changed, which makes Loya inexplicably uneasy.
Then there's Ais.
This person was somewhat mysterious to Loya. When Loya first saw her, she was greatly surprised, not because she was a half-human, half-dragon girl, but because she knew nothing about the fact that Raino had such a beautiful girl by his side.
Fortunately, Loya quickly confirmed some information: she had no romantic feelings for Raino, and her affection for him wasn't even very high.
The reason she was deemed a threat was because Lei Ye's decision to leave her here indicated that he had a high level of goodwill towards her. This made her a ticking time bomb; if she ever realized how good Lei Ye was to her, she would explode.
Finally, there's this Anrahi.
The fat woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pretending to be stupid and talking nonsensically about what was going on and what had happened. In reality, she was radiating lust and was extremely excited because of Lei Ye.
This guy of unknown origin is the one who needs to be executed first; we absolutely cannot let that lewd body wander around this house.
"But I've already won..."
Loya opened her eyes, her gaze gleaming with a sharp light as she made this declaration.
She has a powerful backer; her elf mother is the most charming woman in the great forest. She should carefully recall the various skills she learned back then and put them to full use in this advantageous position. She will surely be able to defeat that little thunderbolt.
Lorraine's first guide to dating: Instead of trying to understand the type of girl a man likes, try to understand his hidden desires.
Loya had done her homework on this.
Based on her long-term observation, this Raino is definitely a foot fetishist.
Fortunately, she did not have any amputations and had a pair of perfectly intact feet.
Loya showed off the black stockings she had prepared in advance, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. Her figure was only average, but she was confident in her foot shape. Moreover, she was an elf from the great forest, and the advantage of her bloodline made her skin much whiter, softer, and more elastic than the average person.
Even she, a normal elf, looked at her own instep and thought it was beautiful, exquisitely crafted; it would surely seduce that Lei Ye.
Loya had never used this move against Lei Ye before; she was saving it as a trump card.
Loya happily put on her black stockings, wiggling her toes as she did so...
Loya cleared her throat.
"Mr. Raino..."
"cough!"
"Mr. Raino~"
After trying a few times, Loya was satisfied. This was the result of her five years of continuous special training. However, recently, a lot had happened between her and Lei Ye, which made her gradually forget to strain her voice.
Now is the time to launch the attack, so of course we have to clamp them down.
Lorraine's third guide to dating: Spend some money on your goals.
According to my mother, men are simple creatures who are easily attracted to pretty girls. However, this does not mean they will easily pay for pretty girls. But if a pretty girl takes the initiative to pay for him, the situation is different. In order to repay this kindness, he will generously start to spend money, just like a faucet on a barrel. As long as you put in a little effort to turn the valve, the wine will flow out continuously.
Unfortunately, Lei Ye was not short of money at all, and she was rather stingy. The few small gifts she bought were not anything special, and she kept them in her hands for two or three years without taking them out. She didn't know how to turn this super valve made of pure gold.
There was a knock on the door. "May I come in, Loya?"
Raino's voice interrupted Loya's thoughts.
Great, you arrived shortly after I put on my socks, just in time.
"Come on, let's get spicy!"
Loya, speaking in a strained voice, went to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Loya stared intently into Lei Ye's eyes, observing his gaze. Sure enough! His eyes were immediately drawn to the black stockings he had just changed into, and he lowered his head.
Great!
He quickly looked away again, which disappointed Loya, because she hadn't had a chance to show off her 99 dexterity toes.
Lei Ye pushed open the door and entered, then took out a few books from his storage bag and tossed them onto Luo Ya's bed.
"Don't go out for the next few days. Finish reading these books. This is a task I'm giving you. I'll check your progress regularly. If I find you slacking off, you can get out."
Do you really want to study?
Loya thought Lei Ye was joking, but she didn't expect him to be serious. She went over and looked through the books, which were "The Codex of Hillius", "The Complete Book of Monsters in Hillius Region" and "The Explorer's Hall of Fame Achievement Record", all of which were the kind of books that were not interesting at all and looked very boring.
And it was very thick. Loya had a bitter face. She wanted to slack off, but she was also afraid that she would really be thrown out. She had finally managed to move in.
"I'm an explorer, after all. What's the point of staying at home reading all the time? I might as well use my reading time to take on some commissions. That way, I can at least earn some money to pay your rent."
"Do you think I need your little bit of money? I advise you to cherish this time when you can still study peacefully. Take it one day at a time, because days like this where you can develop peacefully will probably become fewer and fewer."
"Development, me?"
Loya bounced her chest, looking troubled. For her frame, it was already considered large breasts. If she developed any more, they would become disproportionately large and unsightly, like a fat woman's.
"What I mean by development is this," Lei Ye tapped his head and sighed, "What on earth is going on in your head? I'm starting to doubt my decision. What's the point of cramming you into studying like this at the last minute..."
"That's right, that's right. Besides, if I don't take on commissions, who will make up for the wages I miss?"
Loya was deliberately speaking in a high-pitched voice, and the more Lei Ye listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore and reached out to hit Loya on the head.
Because of the psychological trauma left by the previous beating, Loya subconsciously flinched, but the knuckles hitting her head only made a thud, and it didn't hurt much.
"If you can speak normally, straighten your tongue and don't use that 'Moon Forest' accent."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you should speak properly. This trick won't work on me. Besides, you still need to study. Anyway, it's impossible for you to take on any commissions during this period, so you're just idling around anyway."
As he spoke, Lei Ye glanced at Luo Ya's newly changed socks.
Loya precisely caught Lei Ye's gaze, and this time she didn't miss the opportunity. She started to vigorously wiggle her toes, but just as she was expecting what kind of evaluation Lei Ye would give, something was handed to her by Lei Ye.
Those are such ugly socks...
But it's incredibly thick, almost as thick as Loya's coat.
How am I supposed to show off my perfectly curved instep while wearing these socks...?
"Here you go. I didn't expect you to be so sensitive to the cold. Your feet are so cold that you're rubbing your toes all over."
"no..."
"It's not what you mean, do you want it or not?"
Loya clutched the socks in silence for a while, then suddenly hid them behind her back.
"Of course I want to."
"OK."
Raino looked around, checked the air conditioner in the corner of the ceiling, turned the temperature up two levels, and then checked the other magical items before leaving the room.
Throughout the process, Luo Ya kept watching him, thinking that Lei Ye was taking special care of her and was quite happy about it. However, she didn't expect that he would turn around and leave as soon as it was over. She was hoping to say a few more words to him.
In her haste, she called out to Lei Ye.
"Wait a moment!"
"What's up? Is there something else?"
"Ah..." Loya scratched her head. She just wanted to talk to Raino more and create more opportunities to spend time together, but she hadn't figured out exactly how to get closer to him.
I originally planned to seduce him properly, but it seems I failed.
Not knowing what to do, Loya gritted her teeth and took out the little gift she had bought earlier.
"This is for you."
A bunch of bananas.
She blushed even when she took out the gift herself. In Hills, let alone a rich guy like Lei Ye, even if someone gave Loya this as a gift, she would think it was worthless and inexplicable.
The bag will get scolded.
But these were all just a sudden inspiration from Loya, and she didn't even believe it herself... She had never seen Lei Ye love eating bananas, but she did think that Lei Ye might like them.
Furthermore, she genuinely didn't have the money to buy anything nice.
She instinctively clutched the hem of her clothes, nervously glancing up to observe Lei Ye's expression. His expression was complex, but it was clear he was both surprised and delighted—probably because he liked her.
I wish I could increase his favorability.
"Why did you think of giving me this?"
"I just bought it on a whim because it was on sale."
"Really? That's amazing! I've also thought of something, but I don't know if you want it."
"Mom was right. Sure enough, as long as you put in some effort, you'll get immediate rewards." Loya rubbed her hands together nonchalantly, putting on an extremely nonchalant expression.
"Of course I'll take what you gave me, wai, what is it...?"
Lei Ye took out a bouquet of carnations from his storage bag.
"Ah...it's a flower?"
Loya was greatly disappointed. She thought Lei Ye would bring out something good, but it turned out to be just a bouquet of flowers. Her mother used to say that flowers were the most useless things, since they could neither be eaten nor sold.
"...It's better to just cash it out."
Lei Ye's face darkened immediately, and he angrily pulled out five large gold coins and threw them on the bed.
"So many?" Loya exclaimed in surprise. "What kind of flowers are so valuable?"
"Besides the return gift, there's also your living expenses, a year's worth. Be careful with your money. If I find you squandering it, then get out, get out of here."
Wow, five big gold coins!
Even if she spends it lavishly, this money is enough for her to have a great time for a long time.
But as Loya held those heavy gold coins, she realized that her happiness only lasted for a few seconds.
She fiddled with the large gold coin in her hand and said something she herself couldn't have imagined.
"Never mind then, you can take the big gold coin. I'll take the other one as a return gift. Give me the flowers."
Under Lei Ye's frozen gaze, Luo Ya stuffed the money back into his hand and took the bouquet of carnations.
Speaking of which, as a forest elf who grew up in nature, Mingming Loya used to live in a place with lots and lots of flowers, but this was the first time she had ever received flowers from someone.
She took the bouquet of carnations, ran her hand over the petals, and felt a strange sense of nostalgia.
It's really... inexplicable. This bouquet isn't even particularly pretty or vibrant, but she just fell in love with it at first sight.
Looking up, Loya found that Lei Ye had left without saying a word, perhaps because her actions had greatly shocked him.
In fact, Loya was quite shocked by her choice, but she didn't regret it. Anyway, she worked hard to make money firstly to make herself happy, and secondly to win over Lei Ye. Now she was living comfortably in Lei Ye's big house, so what did she need so much money for? If she continued like this, she could only watch the stars with Lei Ye in her fantasies.
She continued to think about her strategy, recalling the tips her mother had taught her.
She shook her head and threw them away.
She continued to ponder her strategy, and what came to mind were the words the fat woman had said.
You have to do something for him too.
Loya glanced at the books on the bed and sighed.
Since things have come to this, I should probably read more books.
