Chapter 184: Forbidden Intimacy

Elaina, while eating a sandwich, sized up Silas and asked, "Who are you? You don't look like someone from the Church."

Silas smiled. "How do you know I'm not from the Church?"

Sucking the cream from her fingertips, her beautiful wheat-colored face answered with confidence, "I've dealt with people from the Church quite a bit. You don't have that bloody smell on you."

"Bloody smell?" Silas was stunned. Although Emilia had said that clergymen had a special temperament that was easily discovered by others, he hadn't expected it to actually be a bloody smell.

Elaina, seeing Silas's surprised expression, hesitated in her heart. "This expression isn't faked. Could it be that he really isn't in this circle and doesn't even know about the Holy Blood Church's special aura?"

Of course, Silas didn't know. Since he first entered the mystical circle, he had always been surrounded by clergymen. In that undifferentiated atmosphere, how could he sense any special aura?

Silas asked curiously, "What exactly is this bloody smell?"

Seeing Silas's curious expression, Elaina suddenly remembered her own brother who was curious about everything, so she explained, "It's that rather messy bloody smell, with a hint of sweetness amidst the fishy odor."

"???" Silas was even more bewildered upon hearing this.

Elaina continued to explain, "Although blood therapy has been popularized for many years and various formula systems have emerged, the core blood used by each is different. Our folk formula systems mostly use earth dragon blood as the base container, while the three major churches' blood therapy uses the rarer stegosaurus blood as the base container. Prolonged use or contact will lead to being tainted with this bloody smell."

Silas blinked. "What's a base container?"

When Silas was studying books before, he had looked at many categories but had unintentionally forgotten about books on blood therapy.

"Truly a novice!"

Elaina muttered to herself and continued to explain, "Blood therapy is very complex, and different types of blood cannot be normally compatible with each other. Rashly mixing them will only lead to death. Therefore, a more powerful medium is needed. This medium possesses the genes of ancient creatures and can suppress and accommodate all blood at the genetic level. Only then can different types of blood be fused together and exert their effects."

Hearing this, Silas understood. This so-called base container was like the glucose water or physiological saline used on Earth for dissolving drugs during intravenous drips.

"You seem quite skilled. How come your basic knowledge is so lacking?" Elaina asked with a hint of doubt on her face.

Silas smiled. "My energy hasn't been focused on this. As you know, a person's energy is limited."

Elaina recalled her good friend who was still busy now and nodded in deep agreement. "Yes! A person's energy is indeed limited."

This topic ended here. Silas then asked, "Now that your injury is healed, what are your plans?"

Mentioning the injury, Elaina said with a serious expression, "Thank you for your help. Thanks to you yesterday, otherwise, if I had been caught by them, it would probably have been a fate worse than death."

"The Jizhou Research Institute. I've dealt with them a few times. They are all a bunch of lunatics. I don't mind seeing them killed one by one," Silas's tone immediately turned cold when mentioning this organization.

Looking at Silas, who had such a presence at this moment, a glint flowed in Elaina's eyes. "This little fellow seems to be a really good person."

"I'm not one to owe others. I will do my best to repay your kindness for saving me. After I deal with this matter, I will work hard to repay your kindness."

Silas's heart stirred. "This is the opening move for a farewell. This won't do; I still have many questions."

So, Silas immediately said, "If you want to repay my kindness, it's very simple. Here and now, you can complete it."

Hearing this, Elaina's heart immediately jumped. "Here? Now? Could it be…"

For a moment, Elaina felt her face become somewhat hot, and her heart pounded.

"What should I do? If he really makes that kind of request…" Thinking this, Elaina looked up and sized up Silas, finding that this young man looked quite handsome, and his temperament was elegant and polite, not making her dislike him.

"If repaying kindness in this way is possible, I don't mind," Elaina made up her mind.

But then, she seemed to think of something and immediately reminded, "Let me say first, I am a demoness."

"Hmm, I know. What's wrong?" Silas didn't pay attention to her thoughts.

Elaina said with a serious expression, "If you want to… want to have a physical relationship with me, please give up this idea."

"…" Hearing this, Silas was instantly speechless.

"Does my face look that lewd?" Silas felt his self-confidence suffer a serious blow.

However, this blow was quickly overshadowed by new information.

"Why?" Silas asked curiously in his heart.

Elaina explained, "I'm not entirely clear about the specific reason, but according to the knowledge circulating in the mystical world and what I have seen with my own eyes, all those who have relations with demonesses end up very miserably."

"How miserable?" Silas asked seriously.

Elaina replied seriously, "Very miserable. I once saw a lust-driven noble preparing to rape a demoness. By the time I rushed over, it was already too late. I happened to see that damn guy sprawled on my compatriot."

"And then?"

Speaking of this, Elaina's face looked unsightly. "Then that fat pig was squeezed into a meatball by an invisible force and absorbed by that demoness."

"Absorbed!? How was it absorbed?" Silas was somewhat bewildered.

Elaina, somewhat embarrassed, pointed to her lower body without speaking.

"..." Silas opened his mouth awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

Elaina continued, "And after absorbing that fat pig, that demoness immediately lost control and went berserk, turning into an incredibly disgusting monster."

At this moment, Elaina's face showed a hint of reminiscence and fear.

"That monster was very terrifying. It melted and ate all the residents of that small town and was finally, with great difficulty, eliminated by the arriving Church. And that time, my Spirit Vision increased by a full seven points before and after."

Hearing this, Silas's face was extremely grave. He continued to ask, "Is this an isolated case, or are all demonesses like this?"

Elaina said with a serious expression, "I started venturing into the mystical world at the age of twelve. Eighteen years have passed since then. In eighteen years, I have witnessed this kind of thing five times. The situation was almost the same every time, with no discrepancies from rumors and records. Three times it was rape, and the other two times it was two people genuinely in love, and things developed naturally. And the result was still just as miserable."

"Therefore, now, whether it's ordinary people or mystics, almost no one dares to have designs on a demoness's body."

"So, all demonesses are iron virgins?" Silas asked.

Elaina shrugged. "You can understand it that way too."
