The group settled into Lady Malys's mansion. Grefax and Celestine shared a room, Magnus remained secluded, and Li Feng and Eliette each had their own rooms.
Upon entering his room, Li Feng found it quite dim, filled with various luxurious and ornate Aeldari furniture and items. Li Feng first went to the bedroom to take a bath.
Li Feng opened the bathroom door, finding its design so peculiar that he was at a loss for words. The entire room shimmered with light, and an overwhelming number of unnecessary decorations dazzled the eyes.
The bathtub was made of transparent crystal, with softly glowing petals floating in the water, looking as if prepared for some mysterious ritual.
Gems embedded in the walls glowed with an ethereal blue light, as if constantly reminding him: "Welcome to Commorragh, mon-keigh."
"These Aeldari truly take 'luxury' to a new level," Li Feng mused, then shed his combat uniform and plunged into the bathtub.
What Li Feng didn't know was that the gems flashing with an ethereal blue light were actually cameras placed by Lady Malys. The hot water instantly enveloped his body, allowing his nerves, taut all day, to finally relax a little. However, just as he closed his eyes, preparing to enjoy a moment of peace...
Subsequently, Li Feng emerged from the bathroom, wiping his wet hair, feeling somewhat fatigued. The Aeldari bathroom was excessively luxurious, with water that emitted a faint glow.
It even had soft music playing, making him wonder if he had fallen into some kind of trap. But the water temperature was just right, and the bathing experience was surprisingly pleasant.
He donned an Aeldari-style bathrobe. The robe was light and soft, but looked extremely expensive, even featuring strange, faintly shimmering Aeldari runes.
He surveyed the room. The exotic and luxurious furnishings before him, such as gem-studded mirrors, crystal lamps emitting a faint glow, and a massive bed that looked like a work of art, made him shake his head.
He casually patted the bed, and to his surprise, the mattress deformed with his touch, as if made of some peculiar material, extremely soft yet supportive. Just as he was considering collapsing into bed, he suddenly sensed something unusual in the room.
Li Feng frowned, his gaze sweeping across the room. He noticed a intricately carved screen in the corner, from behind which faint sounds emanated.
Li Feng stood up, casually picked up an Aeldari staff from the bedside, which appeared to be decorative, and, holding it, slowly walked towards the screen.
The sound from behind the screen suddenly vanished. Li Feng narrowed his eyes, swiftly kicked over the screen, and at the same time raised the staff into a defensive posture.
"Come out, don't think I can't see you," he said calmly, his eyes filled with vigilance.
After a moment of silence, a slender figure slowly emerged from behind the screen. She looked like a maid, dressed in the mansion's maid uniform, with a very placid expression.
"Your Excellency, I apologize for disturbing you," the maid bowed her head. Her voice was very sweet and gentle... "My lady instructed me to provide you with any services you might require tonight."
"Night services?"
Li Feng raised an eyebrow, resting the staff on his shoulder, a hint of playfulness in his tone.
The maid's expression remained calm, as if she was accustomed to such inquiries: "My lady means that you are our esteemed guest, and we will do our utmost to fulfill all your needs."
At this, Li Feng raised his eyebrows. He was no "gentleman"! He immediately stepped forward, approaching the Female Aeldari before him. She had long red hair, eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes, and sensual red lips... But Li Feng quickly noticed something strange... Her maid uniform was clearly too small, and the taut fabric made the muscles in her shoulders and arms subtly visible.
Considering Lady Malys, a mistress who "pursued quality" so meticulously, it was highly unlikely that her maids' clothes would be ill-fitting.
"Um... you're not a maid, are you?"
No sooner had Li Feng spoken than the maid before him directly whipped her long red hair, the sharp barbs within it hooking around Li Feng's neck. She then lunged forward, pressing Li Feng directly onto the bed, and straddled him with her legs... "Don't move, mon-keigh... If you don't want to die here, be good."
At this moment, Li Feng noticed her other hand was covered in hidden "pinhole cameras." Li Feng immediately raised his hands, indicating submission. The fact that she hadn't killed him immediately meant... "Mercy, lady knight, may I ask what brings you to me?"
The Female Aeldari reached out, hooked the rosary beads around Li Feng's neck, and then said:
"You're a high-ranking official of the Imperium of Man, aren't you? Then you must know a man named Chagatai, right? He's your Emperor's son. Tell me, where is he now?"
Li Feng was utterly bewildered, he could only nod and say: "K-know... know... May I ask your name, lady knight?"
"Lelith Hesperax. Tell me, how do I find him?"
Hearing that name, Li Feng stammered, pointing at her: "You... you're Yvraine's best friend!"
Lelith hadn't expected to hear Yvraine's name from the monkey before her. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she asked:
"You know her?"
...Lelith Hesperax, leader of the Drukhari / Dark Aeldari Wych Cult of Strife, Queen of the Commorragh Arena.
She is one of the most ruthless individuals in this The Galaxy / Milky Way, having clawed her way up as a Gladiator for countless years. Even when Victor first took control of Commorragh, she was already a star Succubus, and she even helped him during his coup.
And what she wore today was her complete everyday gear: daggers, barbed hair ties, a sports bra, thigh-high stockings, and a thong.
Collaborating with Lelith for slave raids was not easy; she not only demanded exorbitant prices but also had a tight schedule. Some Kabals even fought each other for the chance to work with her.
She knew she was the best in the Arena, and she proved it to the world almost every day. But aside from leading her Wych Cult, she seemed uninterested in political influence.
However, she did not seem to share the perverse hobby of other Dark Eldar, who captured live beings to torture for pleasure.
So, compared to her kin, Lelith was more like a "normal person," a less perverse, natural-born killer.
Lelith typically performed at the 'Crucible of Spite,' the The Galaxy / Milky Way's most magnificent Arena, with a city-sized gladiatorial pit and a grand theater carved from living jade. She was also responsible for its daily operations.
Victor found her suitable for managing the place because:
"Lelith Hesperax is the most precious treasure of the City of Endless Night; no one would display their most beloved jewel in a pile of garbage."
Additionally, Lelith was a taciturn woman, preferring to communicate through violence. But according to those fortunate enough to have heard her speak and lived to tell the tale, she possessed a sweet voice.
Lelith had once publicly offered a bounty: whoever could bring her the most formidable opponent would receive a "special reward" from the Queen of the Arena.
Because she was tired of slaughtering weaklings and craved genuine excitement.
All the bigwigs in Commorragh went mad, rushing out to capture strong individuals who could satisfy Lelith. But whether they were Tyranids / Tyranid Warrior-Beasts, Ork WarBosses, or Aeldari Assassins, they all eventually fell at Lelith's feet.
Until a lucky Archon brought a Space Marine champion. The duel lasted for several hours, and before the champion died, he left a formidable scar on Lelith's lower abdomen.
This unsightly scar infuriated her, so when that Archon came to claim his reward, Lelith said the reward was her honor of dueling him. The poor fellow only lasted six minutes before his head and body parted ways.
So, no matter what the girls say, never do anything that might mar their beauty.
Later, she stabbed a Craftworld Aeldari to death in an unremarkable Arena match, but when the latter resurrected as a prophet of Death God Iniyede, Lelith saved her life again and participated in the Death God Army's first public offering.
Yvraine believed Lelith's motivation for joining her was simple: to break Slaanesh's hold over the Aeldari, so she could peacefully enjoy the adoration of fans across the The Galaxy / Milky Way in the future, instead of constantly hiding in the Webway, fearing her soul would be consumed.
And Yvraine and Lelith, these two good rivals, now resembled a pair of black and white sisters... "You know her? You know Yvraine?"
Hearing Lelith's words, Li Feng nodded: "I'm sort of the marriage broker for her and Chagatai's brother, Guilliman..."
Upon hearing this, Lelith had a "black man asking a question" expression, utterly incredulous:
"Huh? I heard she was going to marry a mon-keigh... But I didn't expect it to be Chagatai's brother... Doesn't that mean emmmm... Oh right? Which of them is older?"
Li Feng asked, puzzled: "Which aspect of 'older' are you asking about...?"
