Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Are you sure you want to...?
Estelina\'s eyes glittered with amusement. "Perhaps I make an exception for intriguing humans like you."
"I\'ll take that as a compliment," Eren replied, his voice steady. "However, I would have to decline your offer."
He gently pushed her back, creating some distance between them.
"Now, if you would kindly lead the way to your mother, I would appreciate it."
Estelina smirked at Eren\'s reaction. "I didn\'t expect you to be in such a hurry to meet my mother."
"Isn\'t that why you brought me here? The faster I meet her, the faster I can return," Eren justified himself.
Although he said that it was for his return, in reality, he had another more important reason.
He paid special attention to the timer. He didn\'t have unlimited time to select an option.
Before being forced to choose one, he wanted to at least meet the Spirit Queen and understand what might be her most probable cause. He didn\'t want to make a mistake and then get his system stuck at this option.
Estelina maintained her smile, but behind that smile, she was quite irritated. Not only did this man call her old, but he didn\'t even fall for her charm? She felt like her ego was hurt.
She had thrown herself onto him. In that situation, any man would have tried to take advantage of the situation. She thought Eren was going to do the same.
She even planned to stop him when he tried and then mock him for being so weak. On the contrary, this had backfired on her.
Instead of being the one to reject him, she became the one who was rejected instead. She didn\'t want to fail here. If anything, she wanted to succeed even more now.
It was all to heal her bruised ego. She had to be the one to reject him instead. And for that, she had to make him chase after her.
"Are you sure you don\'t want to spend more time here?" she asked, lowering her dress a little to reveal more of her cleavage that started popping out of her dress.
"If you want, we can spend the entire night here and go meet my mother in the morning?"
Eren wasn\'t less of a man. Even though he found her attractive, he was not a fool. Although he didn\'t understand why she was trying this, he knew that falling for her trap could be the worst decision of his life.
"I have nothing to do here. It would only be a waste of time to stay here longer," he said as his Phoenix started rising in the air.
He tried to get to the height to see if he could find any residence where the Spirits might be staying.
In the real world, the spirits were invisible to ordinary people, but here, they were like ordinary people. He was certain they also had a city somewhere.
Not just a city, he believed that they had an entire Kingdom as they had a Queen.
The only other ruler he met was the Sea Dragon Empress, but that was also over the surface. This was the first time he was going to meet a ruler in her own kingdom.
"I am sure we can find some really fun things to do tonight," Estelina didn\'t give up. She stepped closer to Eren again, her sweet scent again trying to assault his senses.
"I don\'t think there are any fun things I want to do here. As I said, you are too old for me," Eren answered, not even looking at her.
"What did you say? I can\'t hear you..." Estelina\'s voice came.
Eren turned to look at her. "I said I\'m not into-"
As soon as he turned, he was at a loss of words. Estelina was standing behind him, but it was not the same. Her clothes turned semi-transparent, revealing what shouldn\'t be revealed.
Through her semi-transparent clothes, Eren was able to see her soft and fair skin hidden underneath. Although she was said to be a Spirit, she was as much like a human as possible.
She could be touched, she could be felt. She was different from the ghosts that he had heard about.
He took a deep breath and turned his back on her. "I said that I am not interested."
"Why don\'t you say that while looking into my eyes if you\'re that honest?" the girl asked as she moved closer to him, her warm breath brushing against his neck.
Eren felt something soft pushing against his back while Estelina planted her lips on his neck.
"I know that you are a man. And I know what a man wants. You might say that I am old for you, but your body is more honest than your mouth, isn\'t that right?" Estelina gently whispered, simply provoking Eren too much.
She just wanted him to lose his reasoning and give in, so she could reject him.
That was going to be the punishment for him. He was going to have a beautiful woman like her before him, but he couldn\'t do anything. Unfortunately, she needed him to lose his reasoning first.
She placed her arms around Eren\'s waist and started sliding her hand down. As her hands were about to reach the place they shouldn\'t, she felt her warm hands hold her hands.
She smiled, wondering if he was going to give in now. However, to her surprise, he held her hands firmly and released his Sword Emperor\'s Aura which was even more harmful from such close proximity.
"Since I can touch you here, I am sure that I can kill you as well. Are you sure you want to provoke me like that?"
