FATE: Target of Grand Master

As a weapon created by the gods, Enkidu can perceive the emotions of all things with an almost intuitive sensitivity and accuracy.

At this moment, Tianye and Cai's words were not false at all; they genuinely wanted to invite her. But this was not a secret that couldn't be told. Why didn't she bring it up at dinner or during the meeting earlier?

Considering the interactions between the three, Enki could sense that Linghu Shi was extremely averse to Tianye and Cai, while Xia Yan, as the leader and coordinator of the three, deliberately kept his distance from Tianye and Cai.

This shows that there is a rift between Tano and Aya and the other two, but the three of them have temporarily put aside their differences in order to achieve the common goal of defeating Draco.

Gil, even after a thousand years, humans are still complex creatures. In comparison, I still prefer the simple animals in the forest.

After sighing to himself, Enkidu didn't intend to expose the three of them. Wasn't he just like them, temporarily acting together for the same goal?

"I'm sorry, Ms. Tano Aya, I'm afraid I can't accept your invitation."

Enkidu rejected Tano and Aya with his gentle yet firm attitude.

"Why? Making a pact with me should be more beneficial for you to restore your magic power."

Tano and Aya were clearly puzzled. She had already made a concession, even if it was just a temporary contract, but Enkidu still refused her.

"You're wrong. I can supply my magic power entirely with the earth and don't need a Master. Besides, you've already contracted with three Servants. If you contract with me as well, the amount of regular magic power you can provide is negligible in my opinion. However, the Command Seals will actually reduce my efficiency in absorbing magic power from the earth. As a result, my combat power will decrease rather than increase, so I cannot accept your invitation."

Tano and Aya really didn't expect that Enki would reject them for this reason.

She had been keeping an eye on Xia Yan and Linghu Shi's actions, and since neither of them had spoken to Enkidu alone after returning to their rooms, she felt that she had a chance. If she could successfully form a contract with Enkidu, she would be no less valuable than Linghu Shi, let alone Xia Yan. In that case, she would be more valuable in Xia Yan's eyes, and her chances of survival would be greater.

But now, his invitation has been rejected by Enkidu, and for such an irrefutable reason.

Wait a minute, does that mean Xia Yan and Linghu Shi didn't forget about the contract with Enkidu, but knew from the beginning that the contract couldn't be successfully formed?

Tianye and Cai suddenly realized that they were no match for the other two in terms of either combat strength or intelligence, which caused the fear and unease that had been suppressed deep in her heart to erupt completely.

No, this won't do. My value is not enough to save my life. I have to do something.

Since Enki refused so readily, Tano and Aya didn't press the matter further. They casually said something to show their understanding and then left.

Boom boom boom!

Not long after, there was a gentle knock on Xia Yan's door.

"Ah Xia, are you asleep?"

Xia Yan opened his eyes.

Through repeated trials, Xia Yan has become able to wake up instantly, even if he was fast asleep just a second ago.

Boom boom boom!

There was another gentle knock on the door.

"Ah Xia, are you asleep?"

Xia Yan felt that the voice sounded familiar. Right, wasn't that Afu's voice?

Why is this eccentric guy coming here to see me so late at night instead of staying with his Master?

Xia Yan sat up, glanced at Tiamat who insisted on sleeping with him, got out of bed and went to the door.

Xia Yan has a habit of not taking off his clothes even when he sleeps during trials, so that he can immediately enter combat mode at any time.

As soon as Xia Yan opened the door, he felt a soft body hug him. Judging from the perfume emanating from the other person, it was clearly a woman.

The woman initially tried to tackle Xia Yan directly, but Xia Yan took a step back and regained his balance.

So the woman stood on tiptoe and looked up, wanting to kiss Xia Yan, but Xia Yan blocked her first.

"Tano Kazuya, what are you doing?"

Seeing Astolfo, who had called him earlier, standing at the door, Xia Yan immediately knew who the woman holding him was.

Tianye and Cai did not reply, still preparing to use their charms on Xia Yan.

"If you don't stop, I'll turn you into a stone statue."

Upon hearing Xia Yan's tone, which was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, and the golden eyes that gleamed in the darkness, Tian Ye and Cai immediately stopped what they were doing.

Xia Yan released a ball of light from his palm, finally able to see his surroundings clearly.

At this moment, Tianye and Cai were wearing a sheer, translucent gauze dress, and nothing else. No wonder Xia Yan, who was fully clothed, still felt the impact of two soft mounds.

If this were before entering the Master Trial, with Tianye and Cai's looks alone, most men would fall at her feet. But now Xia Yan has no interest in her at all, since he has no shortage of beautiful girls on his side.

"Astolfo, get your Master a coat. I don't want to be misunderstood."

Xia Yan broke free from Tian Ye and Cai and directly gave orders to A Fu.

As if she had expected this, Afu spread her hands and said to her Master, "Master, I told you this method wouldn't work."

"Stop nagging and go get me a coat."

Although Tano and Aya don't mind sacrificing their looks to survive, they would still feel ashamed and indignant if they failed to achieve their goal and were constantly being scrutinized by the other party.

It took less than ten seconds from when Afu left to when he returned, but it felt like an eternity to Tano and Aya. She felt an extremely strong sense of oppression from Xia Yan, not only because Xia Yan's Servant was powerful, but also because of the pressure he himself brought as a Master and the sense of distance that was even more distant than before.

After putting on her coat, Tianye Hecai was about to explain when Xia Yan pointed his finger at her and yelled, "Tianye Hecai, have I been too polite to you, making you think I can be seduced by you?"

Tianye and Cai were taken aback, then immediately shook their heads.

"No. I just thought you might need to relieve some fatigue, Xia Yan, so..."

"So you chose to come to my room at the very moment before the great battle when you need to conserve your energy the most? What, your mana can't support three Servants and you need me to replenish your mana? If that's the case, I don't mind helping you relieve some of the pressure."

Xia Yan deliberately had Afu close the door, so that apart from Tiamat being woken up inside the room, the noise did not reach outside. Even so, the scolding and threats still made Tian Ye and Cai feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar.

What happened?

Why is everything going so wrong tonight?

I just want to live, what's wrong with that?

"Little one, should I teach her a lesson?"

Tiamat was already unhappy that Tianye and Cai had disturbed her and Zai Zai's sleep, and after seeing Tianye and Cai's revealing outfit, she knew exactly what they were up to.

The little rascal who's trying to seduce his mother needs to be taught a lesson.
