Chapter 96.1: Elktela… I Want to Make You Mine (1)

After bidding farewell to Alice, the Great Teacher returned to the greenhouse in the Deep Tundra with conflicted emotions and continued living together with Rayne on the cramped second floor of the greenhouse.

She watched as Rayne groomed Little Black Duck, listened to Rayne's lectures and endured the corruption of the bewitching dragon eyes.

Just like that, the soul-stirring days passed day by day.

Gradually, the Great Teacher began to feel increasingly fearful of such a life.

Rayne Haines.

This man received the blessing of the evil dragon and obtained the ability to corrupt a demigod. He used this ability to weaken the Great Teacher's willpower continuously.

Right now, Rayne Haines seemed to have taken the desire to tease her as a daily diversion and admired her embarrassment as a joke to kill time.

The Great Teacher was starting to feel afraid.

She was confident in her resolute determination and was still convinced that she had never had any excess feelings for Rayne Haines.

However…

Olivia was an evil god who controlled sexual desires.

At the same time, she possessed the title of a beautiful goddess.

For mortals like Rayne who had obtained her highest blessing, they already possessed a beauty that could move even a demigod.

This was the first time in the Great Teacher's life that she had witnessed the charm of the opposite sex.

In the long run, Rayne Haines would probably break through her defenses one day and cause her to lose to the corruption of the evil god…

The Great Teacher truly could not take it anymore!

Trying to control her will and trample on her dignity wantonly was definitely not the attitude a collaborator should have!

Rayne Haines was not her collaborator, but an enemy with vile intentions!

Finally, on this day…

The Great Teacher exploded!

This day, when Rayne Haines recorded the growth of Little Black Duck as usual and looked for the Great Teacher to conduct an academic exchange for her…

The mere sight of Rayne walking towards her caused the Great Teacher's body to heat up.

She could not accommodate him anymore…

The Great Teacher made up her mind and attacked all of a sudden!

"Stay away from me! Human!"

Instantly, the might of divinity descended upon the greenhouse and liquid mithril burst forth, drawing a line like a blade to form a sharp barrier that blocked Rayne outside.

The liquid mithril turned into thin blades that shuttled through the greenhouse continuously with killing intent.

Ever since the battle at Blazing Sun Wall…

This was the first time that the Great Teacher had entered a combat state in front of Rayne.

The Great Teacher glared at Rayne angrily.

"Rayne Haines, how much longer are you going to tease me for?!"

"You approached me with your eyes, humiliated me and made use of me… What was the purpose of everything you did?!"

The Great Teacher could no longer endure the offense of Rayne.

However, when she released the divinity in her body and stood in front of the mortal like a god with a majestic might…

Rayne Haines's expression was unusually calm.

He was not frightened.

In fact, he did not even seem surprised at all.

It was as though he had expected such a day and had long seen through the actions of the Great Teacher.

He merely looked at the Great Teacher calmly and asked, "Great Teacher, what are you doing?"

"I-I…"

The Great Teacher could not believe that she had lost to Rayne in terms of aura. The latter's calm gaze greatly reduced her aura and even made her feel guilty and timid…

Rayne revealed an innocent expression. "Great Teacher, aren't we just discussing academia?"

His question made the Great Teacher speechless.

Objectively speaking, apart from some inappropriate intimate actions… Rayne Haines was indeed merely discussing academia with the Great Teacher.

Furthermore, during this period of time, Rayne had indeed imparted many practical techniques to the Great Teacher.

The theories and conjectures he mentioned were also thought-provoking and useful to her.

However, not only did the Great Teacher not express any thanks, she was even prepared to use her divinity to suppress a mortal like Rayne.

The Great Teacher began to feel a little guilty…

However, Rayne did not harp on that question and continued.

"I want to apologize to you, Great Teacher. Indeed, I should have told you long ago why I approached you."

His expression turned stern.

"Great Teacher, do you know what happened in the mortal world during this period of time?"

"Five large-scale Nether Realm invasions."

"Gold Village, Leta, Inca, Heavenly Kingdom Caldera and Silent Sea. This is what Haines knows. The invasion of the Nether Realms in these five regions was all defended by demigods of Haines. Some of them have already been eradicated completely while some of the fights are still ongoing."

Rayne asked the Great Teacher, "Isn't that unusual? Throughout history, when did the mortal world attract so many Nether Realm invasions in a single month?"

The Great Teacher did not say anything—she silently agreed with Rayne's point of view.

Everything was indeed as Rayne had said.

Recently, the invasion of the Nether Realm had been way too frequent.

With that said, Rayne revealed another piece of important news to the Great Teacher.

"Great Teacher, to be honest, it's been many years since Haines received the edicts of Goddess Order... Everything that happened during this period of time has made me increasingly aware. Perhaps... the world has already changed secretly without us knowing."

"The mortal world is no longer peaceful and we can't continue to waste time internally."

Rayne looked at the Great Teacher with a serious expression.

"I want a cooperation with you guys."

"Cooperation…"

To think that the Haines Empire would one day let go of their pride as the balancer of the world and say the word 'cooperation' to other countries.

The Great Teacher had conflicted emotions.

However, even if he wanted to cooperate, why did he have to use the fiend eyes of the evil god to bewitch her...

Furthermore, notwithstanding a cooperation...

When had Leta not been in a precarious situation where they could barely protect themselves?

The Great Teacher said softly, "Unfortunately, Rayne, Leta is not as strong as you think."

Rayne replied indifferently, "The battle between Leta and the quasigods lasted for a thousand years. You guys are the most experienced race in the entire mortal world. However… your strength was completely restrained by the quasigods."

He continued, "Indeed, it's as you said, the current Leta can't be a comrade of Haines yet. You guys still have hidden ailments that have yet to be resolved and don't have the strength to face the threats of the future."

That was it…

The Great Teacher laughed bitterly.

Leta was the last elven kingdom on the ground and was also the final prey of the quasigods.

This country was constantly coveted by countless quasigods. In reality, this massive Empire could be devoured and torn apart by the quasigods at any moment, leaving nothing but a dead charred land.

Although the elves of Leta had fought against the quasigods for a thousand years, there was almost no era where it could be said that the elves had truly defeated the quasigods and obtained peace.

The Great Teacher asked helplessly, "Since you know so much about Leta, why are you discussing a collaboration with us…"

When Rayne heard that, he made a suggestion that shocked the Great Teacher.

Rayne: "However, I can help you guys resolve the threat of the quasigods."

"Wha—"

Stunned, the Great Teacher shook her head repeatedly. "No! That's impossible…"
