Chapter 2596 - 1131: Courtship Dance (Part 3)
"The specifics still require me to conduct specialized research to find the results."
"I see." The Winged Snake Female Elder sighed deeply, a hint of a smile appearing on her beautiful face, "We kindly ask that you expedite your research in this area whenever you have the time. If successful, please be sure to inform us."
If you have needs regarding the Portal, feel free to come to us. We will do our utmost to provide assistance."
Clearly, these Winged Snake Women wish to permanently close those Portals leading to dangerous Planes, which is beyond their capabilities.
The Portals of the Endless Heavenly Ladder are not constructed.
Instead, they are spontaneously generated as the Endless Heavenly Ladder continuously twists.
Even after living here for countless years, the Winged Snake Women haven’t fully understood the rules.
They mostly passively search for each newly appearing door until they disappear on their own, just like when they appeared.
The Portals of the Endless Heavenly Ladder are not static; they appear or vanish over time.
The duration of these Portals varies, with some being eternally constant, their time of existence no longer traceable.
Some exist only for an instant, without even giving people a chance to notice.
Information on the doors in the Endless Heavenly Ladder is a continuous process, updated iteratively over time.
This is why Gaven, despite having spent considerable time mixing in the Endless Heavenly Ladder in his past life, still has to exchange information with local residents.
Because much of the information on doors he knows hasn’t even opened yet, including the one he entered the Endless Heavenly Ladder through from Felen.
Whether that door will open in the future remains unknown since it opened after the Arcane Catastrophe.
He is dedicated to preventing the arrival of the Arcane Catastrophe, which will alter the fate of many things.
"Research must definitely be carried out, but not now," Gaven promised without hesitation, "My most important task now is to send the Goddess of Wealth back to her God Kingdom. The longer I delay, the greater the variables."
Once Demon pursuers chase into the Endless Heavenly Ladder, it will become a battlefield here, which you probably don’t want to see."
Even without an invitation from these Winged Snake Women, Gaven will frequently have to enter the Endless Heavenly Ladder for research.
Given this opportunity, reaching a consensus with them will make seeking collaboration easier.
Mutually beneficial, each taking what they need!
The Winged Snake Female Elder understood and said, "Having your word is enough. The Endless Heavenly Ladder has operated in its current mode for hundreds of thousands of years; changing it is not urgent."
After discussing business, we have another personal request. We hope you can fulfill it."
"A personal request?!" Gaven looked at the Winged Snake Women gazing at him with an intense look, an unexplainable shiver down his spine. Surely, they don’t really want to borrow his seed?
"We heard you have a unique piece of Magic Equipment that can play a large number of Otherworldly songs. We would like to ask you to perform a few songs for us live, allowing us to experience the charm of the Exotic Realm," the Winged Snake Female Elder gazed at Gaven with eager anticipation.
"So it’s this." Gaven let out a long breath, yet deep inside, there was a faint trace of disappointment, a uniquely male disappointment.
"What did you think it was?" The Winged Snake Female Elder retorted.
"I said no problem." Gaven wisely avoided entangling in this topic, directly summoning the Singing Stone, "Let’s begin."
When the Singing Stone hovered above Gaven’s head, and gentle music flowed from it, all the Winged Snake Women’s attention shifted, their focus entirely on the Singing Stone, unconsciously swaying to the rhythm.
They are natural Bards, not only passionately fond of music but also possessing an exceptional sense of music.
The same song only needs to be heard once, the second time they can accompany it, and the third time they can perform it solo.
The sight of hundreds of Winged Snake Women dancing simultaneously is dazzlingly fantastical.
On the ground, they are graceful and enchanting, as supple as boneless.
In the air, they are vibrant and colorful, darting like arrows.
The entire Betobiyata has become their stage.
Gaven is not an audience of this fantastical song and dance but the center, surrounded by all Winged Snake Women dancing elegantly.
The movements grow bolder and more provocative, the slick skin and cold serpent tails teasingly brushing past Gaven from time to time, rivaling the lustful banquets of the Queen of the Succubi.
This is clearly a courtship dance.
He should have realized that, for a race innately obsessed with music, their actions are likely related to it, including species continuation.
Human moral codes are also meaningless to them.
They neither emphasize monogamy nor long-term relationships, nor do they pursue mutual understanding, only seeking brief pleasure and species continuation.
Gaven soon finds himself carried into the air, forced to dance alongside them.
To outsiders, it appears extremely seductive; as the party concerned, he knows how awkward it is.
Gaven once again experiences the malice of the Enchanting Demon Queen’s lustful Trap; he must not only resist external temptations but also fight against himself.
Once indulged, it is more difficult to maintain control in the future.
His terrifying Charisma and unique ability will norm these temptations, constantly emerging and testing him.
This is truly a torment; Gaven, toughing his way through, finds himself already drenched in sweat, more exhausted than battling the Incarnation of Baron Blood.
Those Winged Snake Women look at Gabe with eyes clearly tinged with deep sighs.
Ultimately, they are not as sinister as the Succubi; they entice but do not use force.
Moreover, they cannot use force; his Speed is on a different level from theirs. Despite facing the pursuit and obstruction of hundreds, he always manages to slip through the gaps, never giving them the chance to entwine.
