Since the master said Hifu poses no threat to her, I will consider whether to let Hifu follow me or not.

While we don't really need her combat power, I quite enjoy listening to her talk about humans.

And after this war, our demon clan will have a much longer time to rest and recuperate, so I have plenty of time to figure out this human, Hifu.

Now that the serious business is done, it's time to talk about love and romance.

When I came to the master's room this time, I was wearing a pure white nightgown, not the sexy one Enise gave me before.

Such a pity.

But it's okay, I give a slight smile.

"Master, do you feel lonely when you sleep at night?"

"No."

If that doesn't work, then I'll come up with another excuse.

"Do you need a body pillow? It's soft and feels really nice, and it won't move around at night."

I completely have two different behavior patterns in front of Hifu and the master. Hifu begs me to take advantage of her, while in front of the master, I beg her to take advantage of me.

Is this what it means to be a "licking dog"?

"Do you really want to offer yourself to me like this?"

The master smiled helplessly and did not directly refuse.

"Yes!"

I nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at grains, full of anticipation for her to accept me as her little elf.

"Master, you're going to end up like this sooner or later anyway, so you might as well try to get used to it now."

"How can you be so sure that I will choose you in the future?"

Looking at the master's smiling face, I secretly rejoiced that she was joking.

"Does that mean there are other candidates in your heart, master?"

The master patted me on the head.

"Don't rush."

I'm used to the master's rejections, but this time I will keep pestering her.

"Master, you don't reject me, do you?"

"Um."

"Then why not do something special for me? As you know, I wouldn't dare touch you without your consent, but on the other hand, I would be happy if you were intimate with me. And you wouldn't lose out, master."

My heart was beating fast as I said such shamelessly explicit words.

Seeing the hesitant look on the master's face, I chose to continue teasing her.

"Could it be that you feel guilty? Is it because I was male in my previous life? So you think I'm impure and can't accept it? Or maybe you see me as a daughter, and it's unethical to do something with your own child? Or is it that you never really considered me as a candidate?"

In my excitement, I grabbed the hand that the master had placed on my head, holding it tightly, conveying emotions that I didn't want to let go of.

"But you know, master, my feelings... If you don't reject them, you could try accepting them. If one day you really meet true love and want to take her into your harem, I don't really mind anymore."

Maybe I went a bit too far with my words. Others can wait for years or even decades, why am I in such a hurry after only a few months?

But if I continue to be unrecognized by the master, my heart will inevitably produce uneasiness beyond my control.

"None of those 'ifs' you mentioned exist. As for candidates..."

The master responded as she tightened her grip on my hand, and I nervously waited for her continuation.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not interested in that kind of thing at all right now. Sleeping together is fine, mainly to put your mind at ease. But overall, you are the best person to me, better than anyone else."

First came the disappointment, the master is currently not interested in romance. Then came the relief, thinking that it's expected from the master, standing atop an iceberg, surpassing mortal emotions. Finally, my mood returned to joy as I looked up and asked the question again.

"Then, if the master had to choose between me and Heath Relia, who would you choose?"

"I already said, didn't I? You are better than anyone else, so you have a higher priority."

It sounded like the tone of someone coaxing a child, but it greatly pleased me.

I don't care, the master must not be lying to me, she always speaks the truth.

I let go of the master's hand and stood up from the chair. The master foresaw my thoughts and opened her arms, and I turned around and sat in her lap.My body is smaller than my master's, so it's okay for her to hold me, and it doesn't feel awkward.

"I want to know how it feels for my master to hold me."

"It's quite comfortable, your body is soft." My master's warm breath tickles my ear, making me feel itchy, but unfortunately, it's unintentional.

"While you were still asleep, I made some alterations to your body to prevent you from rebelling using your abilities. I can turn your body into an ordinary person's at any time, and Yiluodiya's original body is hard to harm with conventional weapons. I made your body even softer than an ordinary girl's so that if you ever rebel, it would be easy to kill you. Otherwise, it wouldn't feel as good." My master's tone is gentle, but it sends a shiver down my spine.

"I won't rebel."

My master chuckles softly in my ear.

"I know. I can also strip you of the control of your body and make your self-healing ability disappear. I can inflict permanent wounds on you, like cutting off your hand so it won't regenerate."

I gulp, realizing that I can't escape from my master's control. I knew this would be the outcome from the beginning.

"I can take away your control of your body, but your perception will remain, and it's effortless to do so."

I have experienced this before at the hands of my master, and just recalling that memory makes my whole body feel cold.

"There's one more thing that might interest you. I can seize control of your body and activate its full potential, putting you in a state of automatic combat, killing all living things in your field of vision. However, this puts a significant burden on your magic consumption and mental stamina, and it can't be sustained for long."

I nod, feeling a deep understanding. Although I've only used it twice, that feeling is still vividly imprinted in my mind, and my body feels like it has been drained.

Fortunately, I didn't choose to resist my master and opted to submit, ultimately allowing myself to be embraced. Well, to be accurate, I'm the one being embraced, but it doesn't make much difference.

"There are many other interesting things, but they are not useful now. Who would have thought that you would surrender so easily and even become what you are now."

My master's soft laughter seems a bit teasing.

"What's happening now...?" I ask, but my master doesn't answer. We both understand.

So, I choose to change the subject.

"But my touch feels good, right? Take me home and I'll do the housework, wait for you at the door every day, keep you warm in the winter, and use magic to keep my body cool in the summer. It'll be very comfortable to hold me too. I can also give you a massage when you're tired and accompany you when you're in a bad mood. Accept me for free, it's a sure win."

This makes my master burst into laughter, her body trembling behind me.

Although I'm just joking and aware that my master won't agree, seeing her laugh so happily gives me an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. The thousand-year-old iceberg in front of me has finally completely melted.

"Will you accept me or not?"

If someone like me begged me like this, I would have been moved long ago.

But my master is still my master, using her chin to gently rest on my shoulder, she politely refuses me.

"I'll think about it some more."

I tilt my head back, able to see the top of my master's head in the corner of my eye.

Even though I've lived for nineteen years, being held like a child is embarrassing but also comfortable.

As for sleeping together, I won't trouble my master about it.
