Chapter 254: Embarrassed Eyvor

Setting aside the problem of my abnormal levels of lust for now, I scanned the inside of the dimension ring; what I saw wasn't something that had ever crossed my mind; inside, there was a large eyeball, several times larger than me, roughly around the size of Goliath's leg when he was in his true and not shrunken size. The eyeball was sitting on a slightly curved plate, and thankfully, it wasn't leaking blood or anything of the sort; otherwise, I might've thrown this ring away in disgust, but while I was looking at it, I saw its pupils dilate before looking directly at me; while I've experienced a few unordinary things, this one was definitely on the top of the list.

'A living eyeball? I don't know whether to be impressed or disgusted.' Mused Elif with a troubled expression as he gazed at the pinkish pupil before retracting his divine sense and looking at the ones who gifted him such a present.

"Care to elaborate, Kurama? My knowledge is only so vast, after all." Asked Elif lightly as he gazed at the Divine Fox clan, looking specifically at Kurama, heir to the Divine Fox clan, who was already slightly blushing while her fiancè looked at her in anger.

"Yes, of course, Prince Elif. That right there is a minor eye from the creature known as Panoptes; by carefully refining it, you'll be able to expand your divine sense further than usual. Though it is a minor eye, its effects won't be substantial; I imagine a twenty to thirty percent improvement at most." Replied the Kurama gently before turning her reddish Quạt tay at an angle, flashing Elif a lovely smile that was hidden from her fiancè's view.

'Ho, a Panoptes? I don't believe I've heard of this creature before; I suppose I should start spending more time in the library; I have indeed been slacking a little bit these past few weeks.' Mused Elif with a raised eyebrow as he observed the minor eye within the dimension ring one last time before storing it within his own.

"I appreciate the gift, Kurama, and a twenty percent improvement is already quite impressive; I'm very satisfied with such a gift, though I would've preferred if I got to rest my head atop your beautiful fluffy tails. Could such a thing be arranged, or is my request too much?" Remarked Elif with a smile as he nodded, only to gaze intently at her nine reddish tails before seductively smirking, causing Kurama's cheeks to turn bright red at his bold words before such an audience.

"Elif." Stated Maria in a hushed but dangerous tone as she eyed Elif, prompting him to reluctantly nod.

"Another time then, Kurama." Said Elif as he looked away from Maria and glanced back at Kurama, winking at her, before grabbing a third dimension ring while unknowingly turning Diana, the Amazonian Princess, and Kurama into life-long enemies.

'Stay away from Prince Elif, you stupid Fox, I won't tell you again!' Declared Diana via divine sense while her bashful appearance disappeared, and the aura of a fierce warrior returned as she glared at Kurama.

'Tch, don't speak to me like that, you uncouth woman; Prince Elif wouldn't even want someone crude and boorish like yourself anyways.' Remarked Kurama via divine sense with an ugly expression as she turned and glared at Diana, who ground her teeth in anger, reaching for her sword, only to be stopped by Elif's voice.

Looking within the third dimension ring, which housed only a small bead despite it having more than enough space to house the dining room, I inspected the bead, and to my surprise, it turned out to be a pearl, but not just any pearl, a Crystalian Pearl, which is only found at the bottom of the sea within Crystalian Clams that are said to only open their mouths once every million years, and for only ten minutes before closing again. It's impossible to get a Crystalian Pearl by killing it or forcing the clam's mouth open as the pearl either loses its purity, or the clam will dissolve the pearl itself.

Funnily enough, despite being so difficult to acquire, Crystalian pearls aren't seen as that valuable, sine other than decoration, they offer next to no utility; however, with this pearl being bright purple, the same as my eyes and Royal symbols on my forehead, It was perfect for me, it truly couldn't have been better.

"Oh, now this is interesting, a Crystalian Pearl." Remarked Elif as he summoned a small purple pearl and floated it in the air while he and everyone else observed it, though only he truly cared for it.

"I shall definitely be wearing this; much appreciated, Suzhi." Added Elif with a large smile as he glanced at the group of people sitting right between the Divine Fox Clan and the Divine Amazonian Clan.

"You're very much welcomed, though it was my Elder Brother's idea for the gift, though he unfortunately couldn't make it, but I'll be sure to relay the good news on your behalf." Replied a young, green-skinned man with antennas hanging from his head and slightly pointy ears as he nodded to Elif with a faint smirk.

Storing the Crystalian pearl inside my dimension ring for later, I grabbed the fourth dimension ring, which would've belonged to the Divine Phoenix clan, but I must head to their Clan if I wish to receive their gift, so instead, this dimension ring was Eyvor's.

"So, Eyvor, is your gift as good as the one I gave you four years ago?" Asked Elif curiously with a slight smirk as he looked at Eyvor while spinning the ring on the tip of his finger.

"Eh, p-please do not jest, Prince Elif; I do not have nearly that kind of wealth, and even if I did, I wouldn't be as merely one item." Replied Eyvor with a slightly awkward expression as she thought back to her twelfth birthday celebration.

"Hmm, understandable, though; how has the gift been? It's only been four years, but I'm sure you've noticed some slight improvements occurring within the garden, no?" Questioned Elif with a raised eyebrow as he scanned the dimension ring with divine sense, spotting two things, a crystal ball and a tome.

"Yes, there have been quite some pleasant changes happening; the flowers are healthier, the air quality has improved, and the Qi has slightly grown in density." Stated Matriarch Aasvieg with a complicated smile as she looked at Elif, who merely gave her an uninterested glance, causing her to cough awkwardly.

"Well, that's good to hear; I'm curious how much a Minor Erdtree will improve the garden." Said Elif lightly with a nod as he focused on the dimension ring before summoning the tome and holding it in his hand.

"Phantom Tome?" Added Elif as he gazed at the book, which was releasing a calming aura that soothed one's very soul before he glanced at Eyvor for an explanation.

"It's merely a replica of the original Phantom Tome, so its effects have been diminished, but even so, it's still capable of soothing the soul and calming the mind." Remarked Eyvor with a faint smile as she looked at Elif before glancing at the book; she and everyone else felt a soothing effect coursing through their soul, calming them.

The tome was pretty useful for those who were prone to emotional outbursts, but I was rather mild-mannered, so its uses would be limited for me; besides, whenever I get angry, it's for a just reason. Nodding at Eyvor, flashing her a lovely smile which she blushed at, causing me to smirk, I stored the tome and summoned the crystal ball; injecting my divine sense within the crystal ball, I was absolutely stunned by what I saw.

Within the crystal ball, there were tens of photos of Eyvor, though what made this so astonishing was the fact that each picture was of her stark in different poses; in one of them, she was lying on her back with her legs spread in the air, giving me a perfect view of her womanhood, while in another she was squatted down, pleasuring herself, and to top it all off, there was even a recording of herself, though I already had an inkling as to what it was. Normally, I wouldn't have been bothered by such pictures, but given my current state, they were quite captivating; they were even arousing me, I might add.

'Oh my, you're one naughty woman Eyvor.' Thought Elif as he retracted his divine sense while glancing at Eyvor, whose entire body was tinted a color red from sheer shame and embarrassment.

"Thank you for the gifts, Eyvor, especially the crystal ball; those were some of the most stunning things I've ever laid eyes on." Remarked Elif with a teasing smirk as he glanced at Eyvor, whose whole body was a bright red, while she meekly nodded, causing everyone to be interested in the crystal ball.

"Y-You're w-welcome, P-Prince Elif, a-and if you'd l-like, I-I-I've got m-more I-I can g-give you." Replied Eyvor, full of shame and embarrassment as she couldn't even garner enough courage to lift her head up and look Elif in the eyes, confusing everyone sitting around her, though none thought too deeply about it.

"Oh, I'd love some more; I've even got a few of my own; I wouldn't mind sharing them with you." Said Elif with a friendly smile, though his words caused Eyvor to suddenly freeze and whisper something before fainting.

Seeing Eyvor pass out onto Matriarch Aasveig, I couldn't help but chuckle in amusement before shaking my head and storing the crystal ball in my dimension ring.
