Everyone's Adorable Genius, the Eternal Seventeen-Year-Old

"Emerging from the light comes the girl who's eternally 17 and everyone's adorable genius~, welcoming the guests to my humble big little abode, it's ^°´?-*+|#<§-chan here to greet you~."

Finishing her little speech, the blinding light slowly disappears revealing a light skinned almost pale woman around Lia's height, probably somewhere between to 160 to 170 cm. She has long unkempt purple hair that goes down to her waist. Her body is pretty slim, but wow, Yue wasn't kidding when she said they were big, E, no looks more like an F. Damn, the more I look, the more pissed off I get. On top of her head is a pair of cat ears and behind her is a slim tail that resembles a cat, but strangely, she also has regular human looking ears.

I try to look at her status with my Draconic Insight, but the only response from the System is, [Your authorisation is not high enough to view the target.] Although I can't see her status, my first thought when I heard she was a Demigod was that she would have some kind of strong presence like Yue or the other Scions, but I don't feel any threat from her. It feels like I could kill her with nothing but a small poke, but I know in my head this isn't true, there's no way a Demigod could be that weak.

"This isn't the reaction I was expecting~, where's the woows, oohs, and the aahs for this young girl~."

"With your age and a body like yours, I'm not sure if you should be calling yourself a girl anymore," I say.

"Huh! Mind repeating that," as she says those words, her tone shifts completely, losing the cheerful attitude from before. I suddenly feel an unbearable pressure as both Lia and I fall to our knees and just seconds later we fall completely flat on the ground as every cell in my body is telling me that this person is dangerous, completely different from the harmless feeling I had a few seconds ago.

While it's a slight struggle to speak, I manage to let out, "I said that it's wonderful to meet a young cute girls such as yourself."

Almost instantly as I finish, the pressure keeping us on the ground fades and the cheerful harmless feeling returns as she says, "That's what I thought you said to little ol' me~. Go on and introduce yourselves."

"Greetings your eminence, my name is Lia, Lia Straellum. I'm only here to keep Cory company."

Without warning, this Demigod disappears from our sight before suddenly showing up behind Lia, making some weird motions with her hands as she says, "oh, ohoho, these are some nice muffins you've got, although it doesn't compare to mine, why don't you let ^°´?-*+|#<§-chan feel it up~."

Moving quickly, I grab Lia and pull her towards me and away from the Demigod. With Lia firmly in my grasp, hugging my body, the Demigod just gives us a creepy smile.

"Is that how it is, ^°´?-*+|#<§-chan likes~, don't worry, I don't swing that way and you have my full support," she says, giving us a thumbs up.

I think I'd rather just go back to the auction and find some half baked cultivation technique and try to work out the problems on my own. Just from our short exchange, I can tell she is going to wear my patience thin until I completely break. But she interrupts my train of thought as she asks me to introduce myself.

"Cordelia. I'm an Elemental Spirit Dragon and I was to that you could help me form my own Divine Essence."

"Indeed I can, there's nothing a genius like ^°´?-*+|#<§-chan can't do! But first, I want you to agree to help me."

"Let me hear what you want from me first, my relationship with the Divine isn't exactly the best, so I want to know what your up to. Also, is that really your name? I can't even begin to think of how to even push that name out of my mouth and I have the ability to comprehend any language."

"Yes, I've noticed you do have the Soul Skill 'Language Comprehension', but that should only work if the language has a written form. My name is said in the tongue of the ancients which has no written form, but I must say, it was difficult, even for a girl like me to learn the language, but nothing is impossible for the great ^°´?-*+|#<§-chan~. Oh, and I just want you to help with my research."

"Hmm... two, no, three things. First, what am I supposed to call you, I can't say your name after all? Second, what is this research of yours? And this has been bothering for a while now, but what's with the ears and tail, they feel unnatural and you don't seem like one of the beastfolk."

"Allow ^°´?-*+|#<§-chan, to answer your questions in full. First, I could tell you my true name, but... I'm~ not~ telling~. Second, it's related to the Divinity I'm trying to comprehend, but you can't just ask a girl her biggest secrets~, so I won't share it~. As for the ears, it's just a cat ear headband, see," she says, lifting it up from her head.

"And the tail?" I ask.

Her joyous smile shifts to a dirty smirk as she suddenly appears behind me and whispers into my ear, saying, "if you really want to know, you can find out in bed," winking then within a blink, appearing at her previous spot in front of me.

From the ground beneath us, a small stone table appears with a few cushions as we are invited to sit. Lia finds herself to be rather comfortable snuggling up close to me after I pulled her in as she decides to sit on my lap as we all take a seat.

Ignoring the dirty grin on her annoying face, I say, "looks like what Yue and dai Jiang said was true, your abilities to seem similar to mine. So what can you do to help me and what can I do to help you?" I try to get straight to the point as the less time I spend with her the better.

"The lucky Dragon Cory get my special custom made course, '^°´?-*+|#<§-chan's how to handle Divine Energy 101' buy now and receive a free copy of '^°´?-*+|#<§-chan's guide to becoming Demigod that even a monkey can do it'."

"Hey, only I can call her Cory! Try something else!" Lia interjects.

"Bupuuu~ nope, if you think you can make me then try it," she says while making a strange sound and puffer her chest out, to the annoyance of both me and Lia. Continuing she says, "as for the price, the Azure Scion is going to be my assistant for a while and Cory, I've got plans for you. Some real fun plans, I just hope you don't mind if I amputate your arm for study."

We spend a few hours of going back and forth, negotiating what she can and cannot do to me and Lia. At some point, a fuming Yue came storming in, but at the snap of a finger, this Demigod teleported Yue back to the base of the mountain again. Eventually, we came to an agreement, just before an exhausted Yue came tumbling into the room.

"^°´?-*+|#<§-chan's going to have so much fun~, I'll go get my stuff ready."

I already know I'm not going to like this, but the things she promised are way too good to give up. All I have to do is suppress the urge to try and smack her face every other minute she opens her mouth. I can't be that hard, right?
