Chapter 563: 523 ’Can you repeat that again?

"Eat me?"

When Shane spoke those devilishly wicked words, Merica was initially startled. Then she gripped her magic wand tighter, and fear began to envelop her.

Yet, just when Shane thought that the girl was nervous about his intentions to do something bad, Merica weakly murmured,

"Why... why would you want to eat me? I’m not tasty..."

Merica started to become scared and felt aggrieved.

"..."

Shane’s sinister smile instantly froze on his face.

...Could it be that this girl actually thought he meant ’eat’ in the literal sense, as in consuming her to satisfy hunger?

It’s said that elves are famously pure and holy, and it seems to be true.

Otherwise, how could she not even realize he was making a suggestive proposal?

"I didn’t mean that kind of eating."

Shane was somewhat at a loss for words.

"Not that kind of eating?" The little elf looked confused, blurting out without thinking, "Then what kind of eating is it?"

Ah, this...

Shane suddenly found himself unsure of how to explain.

Yet, the little elf became persistent.

"Exactly what kind of eating is it?" Merica wondered, "Can’t you tell me?"

The naïve little elf seemed to become a bit petulant.

Shane’s mouth twitched slightly.

It’s not that I won’t tell you; I’m afraid I might corrupt you, you get it?

Otherwise, do you believe we could drive straight up into the sky and zoom into outer space?

But...

"I can tell you if you’d like." Shane’s eyes shifted slyly, and he began to smile like a sly fox, seductively saying, "But you must promise me, after I tell you, you’ll have to let me ’eat’ you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Merica once again looked frightened.

What could she do?

After all, being eaten is such a terrifying thought.

She didn’t have much flesh on her bones and her skin was quite thin. If Mr. Shane wanted to eat her, would she have to be roasted over a fire until cooked?

The thought alone was horrifying!

But this was Mr. Shane’s request...

At that moment, as an elf who held a selfless view of love, Merica bit her lip.

"Will... will it hurt?"

Merica inquired cautiously.

Shane felt his whole being elevate.

"Perhaps it will hurt a little?"

Shane seemed to warn her, but the smile on his face was cunning and rakish.

"How much will it hurt?"

Merica looked anxious.

"Well, that varies from person to person." Shane was an honest man, so he honestly replied, "Princess Luoqi, for instance, is the type who feels a lot of pain, whereas Tielle is the opposite. That girl is quite resilient, not only does she not feel much pain, but she also soon hops around lively and returns to normal."

"Really?" Merica was taken aback, then surprisedly said, "Has Princess Luoqi and Tielle also been ’eaten’ by Mr. Shane?"

"Of course," Shane nodded earnestly, very certain as he spoke, "They’ve already been ’eaten’ by me, and they can’t escape now."

"Is... is that so?" Merica was puzzled again and said blankly, "But Princess Luoqi seems to be just fine, and Tielle has gone to the Empire. It doesn’t seem like they’ve been ’eaten’ at all."

"That’s why I said, I’m not talking about that kind of eating." Shane explained innocently, "The kind of ’eating’ I’m talking about is a little different from what you understand. The people that I ’eat’ won’t have any visible damage; the loss is of some invisible things. So, even if they are ’eaten’ by me, there won’t be any adverse effects, I’m just going to gain a lot of benefits, and they’ll only experience a momentary pain."

Hearing this, Merica’s entire demeanor brightened.

"Just a momentary pain and it will bring Mr. Shane great benefits?"

Merica seemed to care only about this point.

"Yes." Shane assured her again, very seriously, "I will reap very, very great benefits."

Upon hearing this, Merica fell silent.

However, while she was silent on the surface, Merica had already made up her mind.

If it was just a momentary pain and it would bring Mr. Shane great benefits, how could she refuse?

Moreover, since Princess Luoqi and Tielle have been ’eaten’ by Mr. Shane, it proved that they did this for him.

In that case, she too must do this for Mr. Shane.

Thus, Shane would become even happier, and she could watch over him peacefully until his dying day, then return to Elf Country to cherish these memories forever.

This would be the first time she had helped Mr. Shane.

So, whether or not she should refuse was already crystal clear, wasn’t it?

Therefore, Merica looked up, her face resolute as she gazed at Shane.

"I understand."

Merica spoke with decisive certainty.

"So, Mr. Shane, please ’eat’ me."

For Shane, for the one she cherished, Merica readied herself for sacrifice.

Who would have imagined that upon hearing Merica’s words, Shane became silent instead.

"Huh?"

Merica blinked in confusion.

What was Mr. Shane so puzzled about?

"Did... did I say something wrong?"

Merica started to feel uneasy.

"No, you didn’t say anything wrong," Shane said after a long silence, then expressionlessly spoke, "It’s just that, those words pack quite a punch, I need to take a moment."

They pack quite a punch...?

Why?

Merica was still somewhat baffled.

At that moment, Shane suddenly said another line.

"How about you repeat it?"

Shane made a puzzling request.
