I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

She affectionately patted Ais's head and gently explained to her:

“Ais, I’m not like you. I don’t need to ask him for anything, and I have no feelings for him, so it’s impossible for us to be together.”

Besides...you know my situation, I can't touch him.

Main text: Chapter 110 Comfortable Riveria

Among the spirits in the world of DanMachi, there is a strange trait.

That is, they all have very severe mysophobia and cannot tolerate being touched by other races. Especially the more eccentric a person is, the more disgusted they will feel after contact.

However, if someone can gain the genuine approval of the spirit, it is possible to have normal communication without any ill will after touching them.

If two people can interact without feeling any ill will upon first meeting, it means they must get along very well, and if they are of the opposite sex, they will most likely become lovers or spouses.

This characteristic also leads elves to dislike people of other races very much. Many elves are even extremely xenophobic, looking down on any outsiders and considering other races to be inferior races, and never having any contact with the outside world.

Although Riveria generally doesn't look down on others, she still can't bring herself to touch anyone except for a few people like Ais, otherwise she would involuntarily feel disgusted.

Although she had never met Li Xiao, judging from his desire to build a harem, Riveria found it difficult to genuinely approve of him, let alone touch him.

She, Riveria, is a staunch advocate of pure love!

Ais was aware of this trait of elves, so after realizing what had happened, she apologized to Riveria.

“I’m sorry, Riveria, I forgot you can’t touch other people.”

"Oh? You can't touch other people? That's interesting."

Li Xiao, who had been whispering with Tiona for a while, put his arm around Tiona's shoulder and slowly walked over, speaking to the two of them with a somewhat interested expression:

"Want to give it a try with me?"

Why would you want to touch me?

Riveria felt a chill run down her spine. Could it be that he also had feelings for her?

Judging from how readily he accepted Tiona, it's quite possible!

"what happened?"

Seeing Riveria's constantly changing expression, Li Xiao found it somewhat amusing.

"It's nothing, if you want to try it, then give it a shot."

That's good, trying this should make him give up, right?

After all, his strength is too great, and I can't resist him if I try to force him, so it's better to let him try.

When he sees the look of disgust on his face, he definitely won't pay any more attention to him anymore. After all, no one likes a woman who always looks at you with disgust, right?

Li Xiao extended his hand, gesturing to Riveria.

Riveria hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand on his.

Anyway, it's definitely going to be annoying... huh? What's this feeling?

The moment Riveria placed her hand on it, a warm and comfortable feeling washed over her.

This unprecedented feeling instantly brought a blissful expression to her face, and her legs felt a little weak.

But she quickly snapped out of that feeling and looked at Li Xiao with disbelief.

"...How is this possible?"

She quickly touched Li Xiao's hand, then his neck, and then his cheek.

Same, same, still the same feeling!

But how could this be? Normally, my interactions with Ais are just normal and I don't dislike them, but I feel comfortable when I'm with Li Xiao.

What's the principle behind this?!

"Oh dear! Looks like you can't escape either, Riveria!"

Tiona, with Li Xiao's arm around her shoulder, looked at Riveria with a teasing expression.

Who would have thought that Riveria, who always acts like a mother in the clan, would show such an expression after coming into contact with Li Xiao?

This is so interesting!

Unfortunately, Commander Finn had just gone to the other side to take stock of the losses, and the others didn't dare to approach Li Xiao, so they couldn't see her expression.

Otherwise, if her fellow members of the Familia saw Riveria like this, they would definitely be very happy, right?

Riveria snapped out of her shock after being teased by Tiona.

Seeing that he was still holding Li Xiao's hand, he quickly let go as if he was trying to hide something.

But a wave of disappointment and reluctance washed over her, causing the usually elegant and poised elf to blush.

How could I be like this? Why am I actually lingering over that feeling?

And... and yet, she was actually hoping that Li Xiao would take the initiative to touch her at this moment?

This is absolutely shameless!

Rivera suppressed the almost exposed embarrassment and spoke as calmly as possible:

"This doesn't prove anything, so don't overthink it."

"Don't overthink it? What do you mean?"

Tiona winked mischievously at Riveria.

Riveria's face immediately darkened, and she stared intently at Tiona.

"Uh, sorry, I got too carried away!"

Tiona immediately backed down.

Riveria held considerable authority within the Familia; this time, she simply couldn't resist teasing Riveria a couple of times because of her delicate expression.

"Rivia, now you can."

Ais ignored the farce and simply spoke calmly.

"this......"

Riveria had a bit of a headache; she naturally understood what Ais meant.

Just now, she had used the excuse of not being able to touch Li Xiao, but now she could not only touch him, but also showed a very comfortable expression. The idea that Ais had just dismissed resurfaced.

This left Riveria at a loss for what to do.

And to be honest, she felt that she really couldn't refuse Li Xiao now. The sense of closeness that welled up in her heart and mind kept appearing no matter how much she suppressed it.

Li Xiao smiled with satisfaction at Riveria's performance, which was exactly as he had guessed.

His panel has a skill called "Creating Humans," which can increase the initial favorability of all humans.

In the world of Danmaku, elves, dwarves, and dwarves are all collectively referred to as humans.

Therefore, elves that fit the concept of humans will naturally have their affinity increased directly.

But that doesn't mean Riveria would become like this the moment she came into contact with him.

More importantly, he also has the ability to control the water element.

In Teyvat, the element of water also encompasses the concept of life, with the waters of the Primordial Ocean being the best proof of this.

Elves are a race that is close to nature and are most sensitive to the breath of life.

At this moment, Li Xiao was constantly radiating a pure aura of life force.

Although Li Xiao usually restrains himself and doesn't let his power show.

But Riveria's touch aroused her from head to toe.

After Li Xiao's guess was confirmed, he could finally say with confidence.

"No elf can refuse me!"

Now, whenever he touches a spirit from a DanMachi world, he usually feels as comfortable as Riveria.

Some more sensitive elves might even directly send a circle!

In that case, wouldn't it be easy to capture Lefia, who just ran away, as well as Ryu, Philwis, and Alicia?

Then, we'll collect as many elves as possible from the original story and throw an elf-themed party!

Unfortunately, Riveria ultimately did not grant Ais's request.

But she didn't give a definitive answer, only saying "I need to think about it," and then she didn't dare look at Li Xiao again before hurriedly running away.

Watching her departing figure, Li Xiao knew it wasn't the right time and didn't insist. He simply spoke to Ais and Tiona:

"I'll be going now, see you next time!"

Anyway, I'll be bringing other people who have received the blessing to the dungeon to level up, so it won't be long before I come back to Orario.

"Oh! See you next time! Remember our promise!"

She was referring to the date she had discussed with Li Xiao earlier. She had just heard Li Xiao say that he had something to do later, so they rescheduled for another time.

"no problem!"

Li Xiao could never forget such a thing.

Goodbye, Li Xiao.

Ais also said goodbye expressionlessly.

Having received a response, Li Xiao left and went to the place where Hestia was waiting.

"Li Xiao! You're amazing!"
