Chapter 67: Impressing a beauty! (b)

Her dress was made out of thin silky clothes that wrapped around her petite hands and slender neck and reached all the way down to her slim waist. The dress did well to hold her ample breast in place. Translucent white straps of clothes covered some parts of her legs. It did well to reveal her most gorgeous features, the perfect length sexy slender legs, and tiny beautiful feet.

Two tiny crystal dowsed in purple color was fastened in her silvery gloves. With a single look, he found out that they were Spatial-type beast cores of a colossal magical beast.

He thought, 'She is a dangerous lady. Even if I am not sure about it. At least, I know her background is impressive! I can't offend her.'

Marvin was looking at Leilani in the eyes with lust but all of the sudden his expression turned serene as if a buddha has descended over his soul.

"I said, you're such a lovely lady but I have never heard of you. How should I call you? And why did you want to meet me?" Marvin lied with a straight face. 'Stating my desires to press her beneath me might get me labeled as a freak or worse, I might get blacklisted!'

Marvin didn't believe that he will be able to enter wantonly here after he gets blacklisted. After all, even the influential families from the middle and upper district suffered a loss at the hand of the mystic shop. That's why he suppressed the flames of passion.

"My name is Leilani Twilight and I'm an Elf from the Twilight forest. We usually have two names, but I am forbidden from using my last name. If you want you can call me Lei or Leilani. Come sit!" Leilani introduced herself and gestured at him before she sat down on the chair, herself.

Marvin pulled him out of a chair and sat down on it. He said, "Lei, you didn't answer my second question. Why did you want to meet me?"

"Don't you already know?" She asked, a mischievous light flickering in her eyes.

Marvin knew why she called her here. "From the way, the store manager treated me after he found out that I'm an appraiser, I can only conclude that you want to check whether I am a real deal or not, right?"

He wanted to impress her and win her heart over. Thus, he used his brain cells and gave her just the answer she wanted.

"Highly Intelligent, it's one of the many traits of appraisers.' Leilani internally thought with a serious face and she then smiled towards him.

"It's as you say, if you pass my test then you are the real deal. You can take this badge home. If you aren't then sire memory about this event will be wiped out." The beauty said, a dangerous look flickering in her purplish eyes, making her look even more enchanting.

Under her threat, Marvin didn't flinch even one bit. He was confident that the skill "Inspect" won't let him down!

"Just this badge?" He asked, his eyes scanning the beauty from head to toe, repeatedly. 

"Why, do you want something else?" She asked with a seductive yet innocent smile.

"Yes, I hope to get something special out of this meeting. But first, I want to prove that I really am an appraiser. So please, check me out," He said with a smile and multiple winks.

His words when paired with the movement of his eyes carried an entirely different meaning.

"I am keenly interested in knowing what you want. Let's talk about it after the test," Leilani said before igniting passion in Marvin's young heart with a wink.

"Sire, there are the items our affiliates got during their adventure. As there is no knowledge about these artifacts in the database of the federation, the analyzer wasn't able to find out what they do. So I hope that you will be able to identify what these artifacts are and if possible, point out their history and functions. That's your test." She explained after placing various items on the table that she pulled out from her spatial ring.

Appraisers were admired by many because their job was to identify artifacts and items with unknown properties. However, Pointing out the history and function of an item comes with a cost.

Marvin casually picked one up. It was a cross blade with many intricate magical rune designs inscribed on it. Moreover, it felt rather heavy and it was sturdy. Plus, due to Inspect, he found about the properties of this blade.

"Interesting," he said after he quickly read the detail of the blade.

"Sire, what did you find out?" Leilani asked with a curious look on her face.

"Say, do I get paid for this?" Marvin asked.

Although he liked beauties, he wasn't blinded by them. Appraisers are paid the appropriate amount for their work and he wished to obtain it too.

"Ah, I forgot to clarify that. For every successful appraisal, you'll be paid 7% from the sale of the item." She replied.

"Make it 15%?" Marvin tried to push his luck but was given a threatening look by the beautiful eyes of the Twilight Elf.

However, he continued to adamantly look straight into her eyes.

"Leilani, did anyone ever told you that your beautiful eyes can mesmerize a person's soul? I feel like I am mesmerized," Marvin praised her.

Leilani was looking in his eyes with dangerous intent but all of a sudden that anger and dissatisfaction melted away and her expression eased up as a pleasant look etched on her face. As a woman, she liked being praised for her beauty.

"12%, no more," In the end, she compromised and offered him a good price.

"I believe you'll keep your promise," Marvin said, and he continued by placing the cross sword before her.

"It's a finely smithed runic star blade. It's created from a metal in which magic power can be imbued. Moreover, a professional inscriptionist had inscribed two very rare magical rune designs on the blade. Once activated, this cross blade will be able to resist corrosion from strong poison and scatter flames." Marvin described the item.

"Great," A surprising look flickered in her eyes as it was now confirmed that Marvin's an appraiser. She picked the cross sword and stored the cross blade back in her spatial ring.

Whereas Marvin picked up another one and continued by explaining its properties. "This is a feather of the golden flamingo, nothing impressive in the eyes of many but it actually belongs to a ten thousand years old Flamingo King. The properties of the feather have completely changed. It can increase the lifespan of a normal person by 10 years. These are the eyeballs of a multi-tailed scorpion, a poisonous item. Once you melt them, even an entire river can be poisoned by the content you get. These are Pink Pig-headed Ox Oil, Rainbow Coconut crystal, ..."

Marvin continued to explain the details of the items and the beauty got impressed by his extensive knowledge. She couldn't help but feel moved but her heart rate remained the same and there was not a single sign of love shown in her eyes.

"The blade of this sword is entirely normal but the hilt is wrapped In mystical black silk with a powerful runic effect. Once activated, the wielder will be able to expand or shrink the black silk as he wishes. The total length of the black silk can be expanded up to 22 m. It's gonna be really pricey to purchase," Marvin placed the last item in her delicate hand and held her hand without any intention of releasing it.

"The work's done. Did I pass the test? Was I impressive?" He asked with a curious look on his face but they both knew that he had passed.

"Very. Though, what are you doing?" She asked.

"Weren't you keenly interested in knowing what I want? I want you, be my bride!" While saying that, he brought her hands towards his mouth and kissed it gently.

As he had proved his worth, Marvin believed that even if she feels offended by his actions, no strict measures will be taken against him.

This was one of the many benefits of being an appraiser.

Leilani's body shivered in pleasure and surprise as he kissed her hand.

"How could it be? You don't feel offended by touching me?" She asked with a gaping mouth and her eyes opened so wide in surprise that her eyeballs threatened to pop out of their sockets.

"Why are you surprised?" Marvin asked before planting more kisses on her petite and warm hand. 

"It's just that no man or woman has ever touched me for almost 20 years. I was cursed by a witch when I was two years old. From that day till today, everyone that touched me would feel offended for no reason. They will then ignore and shun me. Some were even afraid to see me. You really don't feel any such emotions?" Leilani was unable to believe that a man touched her and didn't feel even a single bit offended.

"You delicate hands are a fine piece of art. Only a fool would not want to hold and kiss them for eternity" Marvin said before planting a kiss on her arm and slowly going up.

Suddenly, Noah notified Marvin who was looking straight into Leilani's purplish eyes. Not even for a single moment did she decline his touches. Rather, she seemed desperate for it.

"Touch me more. It's been so long since I have been touched. It's been so long since I have felt someone warmth," She was hungry for companionship for almost 20 years, and feeling the warmness of another living creature made her so happy that tears of happiness streamed down the corner of her eyes.

His heart couldn't feel but soften when he saw her tears.

Marvin planted a light kiss on her lips and said, "Leilani, I want to make you mine but I won't take advantage of you. I know you can't love me or anyone due to the curse. Hence, I'll first break the curse. If at that time you feel like you love me then don't hesitate to say it." Marvin said in a way befitting a gentleman.

He was basically shouting I don't want an empty shell. I want to conquer both your heart and body!

"Will you really?" Leilani couldn't believe that someone will be willing to go so far for her.

Marvin nodded his head in agreement.

"I'll be waiting for that day," she said before planting a rather forceful kiss on his lips.
