Devil’s Son-in-Law

Yes, but the flowers you send, no matter what they are, are detestable.” Miranda interrupted Chen Rui coldly.

“Sorry to interrupt.
Ms.
Miranda.” Chen Rui showed a dejected expression, “In any case, there is nothing wrong with the flowers.
I’m the 1 who is wrong.
I know you like them.
Before I leave, please accept these ice blue roses because I really don’t know how to take care of them.
You also can’t bear to let them wither like this.”

Miranda was slightly less cold, and she finally nodded.
The ice blue rose was an extremely rare flower.
Moreover, the fragrance and pollen of the flowers were very helpful to her training.

The half-elf took the flowers handed by Chen Rui and smelled them, then she suddenly frowned.
As she took a closer look and picked out a few blue grasses from the roses, her complexion changed drastically, “Ecstasy grass!”

Ecstasy grass was rarer than ice blue rose, but its characteristic was bewitching.
It could make people who smell the fragrance lose their power quickly, and it had an additional attribute which was a certain aphrodisiac effect.

“Despicable!” Miranda immediately reacted, and the ecstasy grass turned to ashes in a furious shout.
At the same time, Chen Rui was thrown away by a huge power.
Before he landed, he was caught by a figure.
It was Eliza.

“Miranda! What are you doing?”

“I’m going to kill this shameless guy!” Miranda was very angry.
She didn’t expect that ‘Richard’ would be so bold and despicable.
He dared to use ecstasy grass to harm her.
She accidentally inhaled the fragrance of the ecstasy grass just now, so her power had begun to show signs of weakening.

“Richard is a good friend of mine.
You don’t have to accept his pursuit, but how dare you kill him!” Eliza put down her badly injured and pale ‘close friend’.
As she opened her hands, a cloud of white light wrapped around Chen Rui while she pounced at Miranda.

Before Miranda could speak, Eliza was already approaching quickly, so she had to face it.
The 2 graceful figures began to exchange hits quickly; it was almost impossible to see their movements.
The flowers and leaves that were affected by the aftereffect fluttered all over the sky, “Boom!” Miranda was knocked backward and staggered back.

Due to the medicinal properties of the ecstasy grass, the half-elf did not want to prolong the fight.
She chanted the spells quickly and a white light glowed in her hands.
She wanted to activate [Light Extinction] to repel Eliza.
At this moment, there was a warning sign in her heart which suddenly interrupted the spell.
She hopped and avoided a deadly slash, but she was still struck by the remaining force.
Blood overflowed from her mouth, and a terrifying red mark spread behind her back.

Miranda showed an expression of agony, mostly because of the spirit power recoil caused by forcibly interrupting the spell.
Before she had just landed on her heels, she heard the whistling sound from the front.
As she could not avoid it, she blocked it with her arm.

“Crack!” In the sound of the fracture, she was shaken by a huge force and flew out, breaking countless flowers and trees along the way, and he finally fell on the largest ancient tree.
The ancient tree shook and dropped countless branches and leaves.
The half-elf’s body slowly slid down and sat down on the ground.
The injury was so severe that she could no longer stand up.

Looking at Eliza and Paul who attacked her, Miranda finally understood. Ice blue roses, ecstasy grass, sneak attack… This is clearly a long-prepared attack! The mastermind of the conspiracy is Eliza! As for ‘Richard’, he’s just being used!

“So what if you have the [Body of Light Blessing], can you be immune to this?” Eliza raised a sledgehammer in her hand, and showed unabashed pride in her sneer, “How is this compared to the cone you used last time? You never expect I can return it to you so soon right! Don’t try to ask for help.
Teacher has gone down the mountain to the Holy Light City to watch the Divinity Temple Knight final match, and I have sent away the surrounding guardian knights and servants.”

Miranda desperately wanted to condense her remaining power to flee or make a near-death counterattack, but the ecstasy grass’ effectiveness had been fully unleashed.
Her severely injured body couldn’t gather a trace of power.
Instead, it produced a strange heat.

“The effect of ecstasy grass will stay for a while.
Paul, you go and watch her first.
Don’t kill her for now, I still need her later.”

Paul nodded and walked over.
The greatsword, ‘Magnificent Light’, in his hands glowed with icy cold light.

Eliza’s body flickered and she came in front of ‘Richard’.
After removing the white light, she saw ‘Richard’ lying there, gasping for breath.
Eliza helped Chen Rui up, “Richard! How are you?”

Chen Rui barely opened his eyelids, “What happened just now?”

“That bitch Miranda wants to kill you, but now she has escaped.” The white light not only held ‘Richard’s’ breath, but it also had the effect of isolation.

“Ms.
Miranda…” Chen Rui’s eyes became darker as his voice became weaker and weaker, “Why would she do this?”

“She’s not worthy of you!” Eliza gently stroked Chen Rui’s face with a faint brilliance in her hands, “You still have me.
We are best friends.
No matter what happens, I will be by your side.”

The dazzling power made Chen Rui feel very comfortable.
His eyes gradually calmed down, “Thank you, Eliza, I’m afraid I can’t hold on.”

“Relax, with me here, I will do my best to heal you.” Eliza’s voice was getting softer and softer, “I’m your most trusted friend and the closest person.”

“The most trusted friend…” Chen Rui murmured after her, “The closest person, Eliza…”

“Are you really going to die?”

“Am I really going to die…”

“Can’t you hold on? You can’t just die like this!”

‘I can’t hold on anymore… I can’t die like this…”

Eliza’s eyes glowed strangely as she guided him step by step, “Be sure to pass the soul language to the closest person…”

“Pass the soul language to the closest person…”

“Who is the closest person?”

“Eliza…”

Eliza had a triumphant smile.
She has a special kind of spiritual power that could manipulate the opponent’s mind to a certain extent, but this kind of spiritual power was not omnipotent.
Unless the person was willing, the stronger the opponent’s will, the higher resistance it would be.
Once it failed, she would suffer a terrifying recoil, so she would not easily activate it.

In the Garden City, after Eliza heard the story of the inheritance of soul language and confirmed it, she began to plan all this.
She wanted to make Chen Rui a subordinate and seize his soul language power.
Unexpectedly, Chen Rui finally chose Paul.
But Eliza still didn’t give up and started a series of plans.
After Chen Rui showed his ability to communicate with the phoenix egg, she became more determined and finally set the scene.
Now, it was close to the successful end.

This time, not only can I get the soul language, but I can also get rid of my nemesis, Miranda.
It’s killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
Even if Eudora discovered this, I can still be valued by relying on the soul language.

“Pass the soul language to Eliza.” Eliza’s voice became softer and full of allure.

“Pass it to Eliza…” Chen Rui’s eyes gradually glowed with red light.

TL: If he fakes death now, he will be completely invisible which makes it easier for his plans.
But, will he?
