Chapter 355 353-Another Conversation

A flicker of light danced in Ethan's eyes, surprised by Levai's unexpected skill.

No wonder he was somewhat special, known by Herman and even introduced to Ethan.

Ethan concluded in his mind that Levai must be some sort of a leader.

"Amazing," Ethan complimented sincerely.

Levai shook his head slightly, saying indifferently:

"It's what I should do. Now, you try."

Ethan leaped towards the stone pillar again, and indeed, this time when he touched the divine crystal, he felt it loosen.

If the stone pillar were compared to an adult, then Levai's action was like a punch to the chin.

That punch, loosening the teeth, made them easy to extract.

Ethan felt the analogy that sprung to his mind was quite fitting for the current scenario.

Levai had managed to loosen the divine crystal; his skill was genuine.

After several attempts, Ethan finally managed to remove a piece of divine crystal.

The divine crystal was irregular in shape, losing its luster after being separated from the pillar, appearing as a dull, unremarkable stone.

However, the profound sensation brought by the flowing power of deity within it still brought a thrill to Ethan's heart.

Having been in Santos Tower for so long, he finally encountered a divine crystal.

Yet, how to take the divine crystal out remained a significant dilemma.

Seeing Ethan getting familiar with the process, Levai no longer continued to stand by his side.

Ethan, too, devoted himself entirely to the task of collecting divine crystals.

However, he occasionally glanced in Luther's direction, gradually moving closer to him with each passing moment.

Luther, noticing Ethan by his side, showed no sign of surprise or disturbance.

Ethan dared not make any overt moves.

It was only when Luther was placing a divine crystal into his bag that it suddenly fell to the ground.

Bending slightly, Luther deftly scooped up the crystal with a flick of his hand and placed it back into the bag.

Having done this, he rejoined the line of workers extracting divine crystals as if nothing had happened.

Ethan furrowed his brows slightly, not understanding Luther's intentions.

As a swordsman, how could he let a divine crystal fall to the ground? It seemed almost like a joke.

A spark of insight flashed through Ethan's mind. He walked over to where Luther had stood.

Then, crouching down, he noticed characters etched into the dense soil.

They were words carved out by Luther's sword qi in the brief moment he had squatted down.

"Meet through Wraith."

Ethan let out a small sigh and rubbed the words away with the sole of his boot.

It seemed he could only wait for the evening.

For now, he had to focus entirely on collecting divine crystals.

Ethan blended in among the miners, attracting no attention.

When the time came, the miners, as if moved by a shared instinct, began to head upwards.

Ethan was still moving back and forth among the stone pillars when Levai called out to him.

"Ethan, come up. You've worked hard all day; it's time to rest."

"Is there a time limit in the divine crystal mine?" Ethan asked, surprised. "I finally have this opportunity, and I want to collect more divine crystals."

Levai gave a forced smile and said earnestly:

"I understand how you feel, but night operations are inefficient without our coordination. You're better off returning tomorrow. You've learned a lot today, and you'll definitely be able to collect more divine crystals tomorrow."

After a moment's thought, Ethan nodded in agreement:

"That makes sense. I'll come back tomorrow, then."

Following the spiral pattern, Ethan walked out of the mine, looking down at the vast pit.

This mine was several kilometers deep, filled with an intense chill at its base. 

It was only because everyone there was strong and constantly channeling energy to collect divine crystals that they didn't feel the cold.

Now, with the sky devoid of any light, looking down the earthen spiral path into the mine, it appeared as a pitch-black abyss, like the gaping maw of a giant beast.

Ethan shook his head slightly and followed the crowd out of the mine.

Herman and the others were already waiting outside.

The miners submitted a tenth of their day's haul and then retired to their wooden huts.

Ethan, not seeking any special treatment, handed over one of his divine crystals.

As he was about to leave, Elida followed him.

She walked with a swaying grace, carrying a fragrant breeze around her:

"Ethan, do you know where your room is?" she asked, her tone playful enough to endear any man to her.

Ethan felt his mind wander slightly in Elida's presence:

"I don't, I was just wandering around."

"Let me show you," she offered.

Elida walked ahead of Ethan, turning back to flash him a smile.

Her eyes sparkled enticingly, as if capable of captivating souls. Her lips curved slightly upwards, exuding confidence and elegance.

Ethan, too, wore a smile, his face slightly flushed as he said:

"Thank you, Miss Elida."

Seeing this, Elida took the initiative and reached out to take Ethan's hand:

"It's no trouble at all."

When her hand gently clasped Ethan's, he could feel her warmth transferring to him, like a comforting stream flowing into his heart.

Elida's palm was slightly damp, offering a comforting sensation.

She deliberately stroked her fingertips lightly across Ethan's skin, inducing a series of delicate sensations that made Ethan's heart flutter.

"Truly a seductress," Ethan thought to himself, his head bowed, reflecting inwardly.

Quickly, Elida led Ethan to a wooden cabin.

"Ethan, this will be your dwelling from now on," she announced.

Elida pushed open the door and ushered Ethan inside.

Upon entering, the first thing that caught Ethan's eye was a large wooden table, flanked by a set of comfortable wooden chairs.

A little further in stood a wooden bed.

The bed was adorned with luxurious bedding, uncharacteristic of this place, giving off a sense of warmth and coziness.

However, these were not what Ethan was most concerned about.

As soon as he entered the cabin, he noticed that the entire place was encircled by Magic Circles.

"These Magic Circles are?" Ethan asked directly, pointing to the magic runes on the wall.

Elida's face was alight with a smile as she spoke softly:

"These Magic Circles are for protection. In the divine crystal mining mountain, safety is of the utmost importance."

Ethan's eyes sparkled with a feigned ignorance as he said:

"I see! That means I can rest easy here."

Sitting on the bed, Ethan caressed the bedding, his expression showing a trace of curiosity.

Sensing an opportunity, Elida moved closer to Ethan and, suddenly, playfully pounced on him.

Elida clung tightly to Ethan.

Ethan could feel the warm and smooth sensation emanating from Elida's body.

The soft touch of Elida's bosom rubbed against his chest.

"Sorry, I lost my balance," Elida said in a coy, sweet tone.

Ethan, as if he were a virgin, swallowed nervously:

"Miss Elida, are you alright?"

Elida exhaled softly, her long eyelashes almost grazing Ethan's cheek:

"I'm fine, you can just call me Elida. 'Miss' feels too formal."

Ethan's body tensed up, so nervous he hardly knew what to say:

"Miss Elida, I... I'm feeling uncomfortable."

Elida's face lit up with a smile. She playfully twirled her hair around Ethan's face, drawing circles that tickled him so much he dared not open his eyes to look at her.

"Who would have thought you're actually a virgin? Are there still virgins in this world?"

Elida's eyes glowed with a fiery intensity, looking at Ethan as if he were a rare treasure.

Ethan's face turned red, his eyes tightly shut:

"Miss Elida, aren't we moving too fast?"

"Too fast?" Elida licked her luscious lips and ran her pink tongue lightly across Ethan's face. "I don't think it's fast enough."

In an instant, unable to hold back any longer, Ethan pushed Elida away:

"Miss Elida, this isn't right."

With that, Ethan, clutching his groin, ran out of the cabin.

Elida sat on the bed, crossing her legs in a provocative manner.

Her exposed thighs resembled a pair of perfect sculptures. 

Her skin was pale and snowy, smooth and delicate, as if it could exude droplets of water. 

The lines of her calves were sleek, with muscles firm and strong.

The key allure was the way her beautiful legs shimmered, captivating like diamonds, irresistibly drawing one's gaze towards the hidden vistas beneath her skirt.

"Just that got a reaction?" Elida's eyes swirled with surprise and delight, "It's been a long time since I've met a man so brimming with masculine essence."

Elida's eyes shimmered with unspoken promises, a deep sense of spring flourishing on her face.

She traced circles over her breasts, waves of tantalizing sensations washing over her.

"You can run... ah, ah—" Elida clenched her legs together, emitting a sultry moan, "...but you can't hide..."

Ethan dashed out of the cabin, his expression abruptly changing.

Under normal circumstances, if a woman were so forward, Ethan wouldn't have run away. He might have even helped her reach the pinnacle of pleasure.

But the woman enticing Ethan was Elida.

Was Elida really the kind of woman to be trifled with?
