Zhou Huai only felt his brain throbbing.

What kind of situation was this?

The esteemed Prince of Ancient Egypt.

An SS-rank powerhouse.

Actually kneeling at a woman's feet, willingly becoming a foot massager?

And looking at his focused and seemingly enjoying expression, he even seemed to be reveling in it.

Zhou Huai silently labeled this Prince, named Kalen, as a "dirty old man" in his heart.

He controlled Gandalf, clearing his throat to break the strange silence.

"Ahem."

"Ms. Polina, Prince Kalen."

"The purpose of our meeting today should be to discuss an alliance, shouldn't it?"

"May I ask, how do you two plan to form this alliance?"

Polina, lying on the lounge chair, seemed to pay no attention to his words.

She stretched languidly towards Gandalf, her perfect curves becoming even more alluring in the sunlight.

She snapped her fingers.

Soon, a waiter approached respectfully, carrying a tray.

On the tray were three crystal glasses filled with a crimson liquid.

"Don't be in such a hurry, handsome."

Polina sat up.

She picked up one glass and handed it to Gandalf, a bright smile on her face that could melt an iceberg.

"Before discussing serious matters, according to our Great Bear Country's custom, we must first have a drink."

"This is 'Bloody Mary' that I specially brought from my country, care for a taste?"

Zhou Huai looked at the red wine, which emitted a strange aroma, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

But he still took it.

"Then, it would be rude to refuse."

"That's more like it."

Polina nodded in satisfaction, raising her own glass and gently clinking it with Gandalf's, producing a crisp sound.

"Cheers."

She drained the red wine in her glass, and at the end, she playfully winked her emerald-blue eyes at Gandalf.

Seeing this, Zhou Huai no longer hesitated and drank the liquid in his glass.

As the wine went down, a burning warm current instantly surged from his throat to his limbs and bones.

The next second.

Zhou Huai's mind went "buzz" and then blank.

He felt as if his body had been thrown into a furnace.

Every inch of his skin, every cell, was burning madly.

His breathing became heavy, and his face flushed at a visible speed.

His heart began to pound uncontrollably, each beat like a drum, making his eardrums ache.

He looked up at Polina in front of him.

In that instant, he felt as if he had seen the most beautiful thing in the world.

Her golden hair was the rising sun.

Her emerald-blue eyes were the vast sea of stars.

Her fiery red bikini was a blooming rose.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

Love her.

Possess her.

Offer her everything he had, including his life!

He even felt an urge to immediately kneel at her feet and kiss her perfect toes.

No!

Something is wrong!

Just as Zhou Huai was about to completely sink, a flicker of clarity, like a candle in the darkness, stubbornly lit up in the deepest part of his consciousness.

Oh no!

I've been hit!

Zhou Huai's internal alarm bells rang wildly.

This damned woman truly had ill intentions!

He used his last shred of reason, mustering all his strength, to abruptly withdraw his consciousness from Gandalf's body!

...

On the balcony.

Polina was enjoying Gandalf's reaction with a playful expression.

She watched the man who had been calm just a moment ago, now flushed, breathing rapidly, and with blurred eyes.

The curve of her lips became even more triumphant.

"Heh."

"So what if he's an SS-rank Forbidden Spell Mage?"

"He still can't resist my charm."

She slowly stood up and walked in front of Gandalf, extending her slender finger to gently caress his burning cheek.

The touch made her narrow her eyes in satisfaction.

"Tsk tsk, this face, the more I look at it, the more I like it."

She leaned close to Gandalf's ear, her breath like orchids, her voice filled with seduction.

"Come, call me Master, let me hear it?"

However.

Just as she was waiting for that pleasing address.

An unexpected change occurred!

Gandalf's flushed face receded as quickly as a tide.

His originally blurred eyes instantly regained clarity.

No, that wasn't clarity.

It was an absolute, emotionless coldness and indifference.

As if a high and mighty god was looking down at a foolish ant.

"Foolish human."

A voice, cold without a trace of warmth, came from Gandalf's mouth.

"Take your dirty hands off my face."

Polina's smile instantly froze.

This... what was going on?

This guy actually broke free from her charm so quickly?

This was impossible!

However, the next second.

"Slap!"

A crisp, loud slap suddenly echoed on the balcony without warning.

Polina felt a huge force from her cheek, and her entire body staggered, almost falling to the ground.

She clutched her burning cheek, her beautiful emerald-blue eyes filled with disbelief.

He... he actually dared to hit me?

...

At the same time.

Zhou Huai, far away on the third floor of the Eternal Night Guild, suddenly opened his eyes.

He was breathing heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

The feeling of his Soul being ignited just now was truly terrifying.

"That was close."

Zhou Huai felt lingering fear.

He almost felt like he had found the love of his life.

However, what surprised Zhou Huai was that.

That feeling came and went quickly.

Now, there was no feeling at all.

It seemed that the skill Polina used had a distance limit.

As long as his consciousness body was far enough away from her, that power would automatically become ineffective.

Since that was the case, he had nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on Zhou Huai's face.

He closed his eyes again, his consciousness transferring back to Gandalf's body.

...

On the balcony.

Polina was still in a daze.

She looked at Gandalf, whose eyes were cold and who seemed like a different person, and for a moment, she didn't know how to react.

Meanwhile, Zhou Huai's consciousness had already re-taken control of Gandalf's body.

He looked at the clear five-finger mark on Polina's face, a mocking curve playing on his lips.

"Ms. Polina."

"Your actions seem to indicate that you don't intend to have a proper discussion with us?"

Polina finally came back to her senses.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and anger in her heart.

She realized that she had kicked an iron plate this time.

This Forbidden Spell Mage from Great Xia Country was far more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

She slowly straightened her body, a professional smile returning to her face.

She bowed solemnly to Gandalf.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gandalf."

"I sincerely apologize for my rude behavior just now."

Her voice returned to calmness, showing no emotion.

"I just wanted to play a small joke with you."

"And also to test how strong Your Excellency's power truly is."

She raised her head, her emerald-blue eyes sparkling with an unusual light.

"Now it seems you are far more outstanding than I expected."

"At least, much stronger than Prince Kalen over there."

With that, she snapped her fingers.

"Snap."

Prince Kalen, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly trembled.

His eyes, which had been filled with devotion, were instantly replaced by endless rage.

Like an enraged lion, he leaped up from the ground, pointed at Polina's nose, and cursed loudly.

"You despicable woman!"

"How dare you control this Prince! Making this Prince massage your legs!"

His voice was filled with the fury of being humiliated.

Polina looked at his furious appearance, merely chuckled, and gracefully brushed her golden hair.

"Prince Kalen, you can't say that."

Her voice carried a hint of playfulness.

"In this world, men who want to touch my legs could line up from here to your Ancient Egypt's pyramids."

"I haven't given them a chance."

She ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) winked at Kalen.

"You should feel honored, shouldn't you?"

"You!"

Kalen was so choked by her words that he couldn't speak for a long time.

He seemed to think Polina's words made a lot of sense.

Then he stroked his chin, nodding thoughtfully.

"It seems... that is indeed the case."

Looking at Polina's flawless long legs, his anger instantly vanished.

His eyes once again showed infatuation.

"However, next time I hope I can retain my self-awareness."

Zhou Huai: "..."

Zhou Huai was speechless.

No, big brother.

Your anger subsided so quickly?

What kind of thought process do these foreigners have?

Zhou Huai even thought he had misunderstood His Highness, the Prince.

All those leg-massaging actions were controlled by Polina's charm.

Now it seemed.

He hadn't misunderstood at all.

This guy was a complete and utter dirty old man!
