CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 179: SACRIFICE FOR SCIENCE, LUREYA!

The previous Chapter is out, it feels quite interesting, with plenty of plot development. Those interested can check it out again~

"Huff huff, huff huff."

The blonde girl wearing a short skirt and a Band-Aid started doing warm-up exercises inside the cave.

Her long golden hair sometimes stuck to her snow-white skin behind her waist, sometimes fluttered gently in the air. Her small hands stretched, and her little feet lifted, her whole delicate body was filled with youth and vitality, radiating the unique hormonal aura of a young girl.

Shami’s attention was largely captivated.

Even though the flat-chested blonde didn’t have much substance, the Band-Aid paired with the short skirt and warm-up exercises was super visually impactful!

It was increasingly impossible to focus on the Demons Atlas.

Shami frowned silently.

"Come on, Shami, I’ve warmed up twice, haven’t you found any intel yet?"

The elf maiden already felt her body getting warm, she stopped the exercises and walked up to Shami, leaning forward slightly.

"Look, look, I’m sweating."

Shami looked over.

The elf maiden’s upper body seemed to show signs of sweating, with her delicate collarbone appearing moist as if a thin, crystal-clear layer of water covered it, rendering her exposed, soft skin radiant and flushed.

The scent of the elf maiden’s body permeated the cave more intensely.

Shami’s mind felt a bit giddy.

If one were to take a bite of the flat-chested blonde, the fusion of fragrance and fine sweat could possibly make them totally intoxicated.

Speaking of which, if the flat-chested blonde could maintain her fragrant body scent even while sweating, this ability, once made into perfume, would surely have a big market in the human perfume industry.

Shami stared blankly at Lureya, inadvertently straying further down the research path, from studying goblin resurrection methods to investigating the elf maiden’s body, embroiled in a research dilemma.

"Lureya, is your sweat salty like humans’ when they sweat? Or does it have a different taste?"

She had seen Lureya sweat before, but hadn’t considered this aspect at the time.

"Eh?"

The elf maiden blinked in confusion.

"Normally, human sweat mostly contains salt, so when sweating it smells bad and tastes salty. Is it the same for the Elf Race?"

Shami asked.

"How could I possibly know such a thing? I haven’t specifically licked my own sweat."

The elf maiden shook her head, realizing Shami was looking at her like a guinea pig, she backed away in fear.

"You’re not thinking of trying, are you...?"

"Lureya, you know if there’s a perfume patent held by our Demon Race, we’ll lead the human high-end female market in the future, right?"

"Why suddenly talk about perfume!"

The elf maiden quipped in confusion.

"You’re not thinking of making my sweat into perfume, are you?"

"No, just researching the ingredients."

"But sweat is just sweat, it won’t turn into perfume!"

"Who can say for sure? When Elf Race soak in hot springs, they’re merely soaking their body’s dirt in the water. But once in the human market, it turns into the expensive Water of Life."

"It’s not dirt!"

The elf maiden quickly defended the image of the Elf Race.

"Before every hot spring soak, elves undergo a [purification] before entering the spring. The reason it becomes Water of Life is partly due to the Elf Race, but the spring water itself also holds therapeutic effects, originating from the depths of the Elf Forest."

"All in all, elf sweat has always been an unresearched topic, right?"

The elf maiden glared at Shami.

Not listening to her at all, this villager.

"Of course not, who would research such things."

"The most mundane things often hide the most crucial elements. Whether a Demon King or Demon Envoy, one must have eyes that discover the truths behind everyday matters. If elf sweat truly has anti-sweat odor effects, we who hold this business secret can establish our own perfume brand in the future."

Shami rubbed his chin, earnestly looking at Lureya, already planning his future business grand vision.

Lureya bashfully moved her slightly reddened pointed ears.

"But this is weird! Researching girl sweat seems kind of perverted."

Lureya who flaunted like this in front of the villagers with a Band-Aid is already quite perverted, right?"

"Alright, alright."

Realizing she had no grounds to call Shami perverted, the elf maiden simply cooperated.

Shami researching her was way better than researching that goblin, right?

"How should I cooperate with you then?"

Shami was sitting on a round stone, reached to pull the elf maiden over, and she naturally sat onto Shami’s lap.

"Eh?"

"First, let me observe carefully."

Shami hugged the elf maiden’s waist from behind, seriously examining the skin of her upper body at close range.

This felt super weird, like being scanned thoroughly by a scanner, not only tickling but also making her nerves tingly.

Lureya’s golden lashes trembled slightly, her hands propping on Shami’s lap to keep balance.

So this is what it feels like to be a research subject.

"Lureya, you’re sweating, although it’s just small sweat, I’ve detected it!"

"It’s normal sweating, don’t make it sound like you’ve discovered some universal truth!"

The elf maiden twisted her body a couple of times.

It was likely nervous sweat from sitting on Shami’s lap.

Shami’s nose moved closer, seriously sniffing.

Lureya’s whole body tensed, trying not to collapse.

"Lureya, your hair’s blocking me."

"Oh."

Lureya brushes her golden hair behind her waist, and Shami’s warm breath blew against her back.

Help, it’s so itchy.

The elf maiden bit her bottom lip, her beautiful green eyes squinted reflexively.

"Sure enough, even after sniffing around meticulously, there’s no hint of sweat odor."

Shami raised his head, looking at Lureya in surprise.

Lureya shyly wanted to cover Shami’s face but unfortunately one hand was putting down her hair while the other propped herself on Shami’s lap to keep steady.

"Shouldn’t something like this be a source of pride..."

"But just smelling it, this research is evidently too superficial."

Shami gazed at Lureya with a scientific spirit.

Lureya sensed trouble arising.

"Wait, no..."

"Why not?"

Lureya’s eyes darted.

If it’s bad smelling... wouldn’t that ruin the perfect image of an elf maiden!

"Lureya, I’m willing to offer my mouth for science, don’t you have the courage to offer yourself for science?"

"Of course I do."

The elf maiden said, unwilling to be outdone, straightening her slender waist.

Who was kidding, she was already wearing a Band-Aid, why care about such triviality.

"Just a lick, do whatever you want!"
