After having pleased Elaine's lust with my mouth, we returned to snuggling each other while occasionally kissing; we stayed like this for a few hours until Elder Axzul snapped her fingers and teleported us to another spot as she began explaining the rules for the third and essentially the last test. While she was doing that, Elaine was snuggling in bed with me instead of listening to her, though I've long since told her about every test, so I suppose she didn't really need to listen.
By the time Axzul finished speaking, she had summoned thousands of golden coins from her dimension ring before splitting them among the many present cultivators, with everyone only staring off with one; to ensure Elaine got one, I picked her up, exited our room, and then our carriage, prompting a golden coin floating right before us to fall onto Elaine's stomach. However, she was too preoccupied with glaring at the thousands of women who were all cheering and yelling my name, causing me to wryly smile as I kissed her on the head.
"Elaine, you're getting frustrated over nothing; just calm down. I'm not even paying them any attention; my sole focus is on you." Said Elif softly as he stared at Elaine, ignoring the potent cheers from the woman, causing her to frown while shifting her focus to him.
"Hmph, I know, Brother, but I still hate it." Muttered Elaine with a frown as she folded her arms while looking up at Elif, who softly sighed and shook his head.
"Ahhh!! Prince Elif just promised to impregnate me!" Yelled a random woman amongst the crowd, her words causing Elaine to furiously glare at them while chuckling.
Watching Elaine laugh, I sighed once more while gently placing her down, catching the golden coin in the process before storing it in her dimension ring. Thanks to all the women yelling and shouting at me, by the time Axzul finished speaking, none of them even realized the test had started, with only the men having entered the separate dimension.
"Alright, Elaine, all you need is ten golden coins, and make sure to take things easy; you've cracked her heart." Said Elif softly as he leaned down and kissed Elaine's cheek before gently pushing her butt, prompting her to float toward the dimensional rift.
"Hehehehehehe, yes, Brother, you don't need to worry about that; I'll be taking my sweet time collecting coins." Said Elaine with a deranged yet lovely smile as she glanced at Elif while madness clouded her eyes, causing him to wryly smile.
'The curse greatly angers me, but I must admit, when Elaine is like this, there is something about her that I can't help being attracted to.' Mused Elif softly as he stared at Elaine, who had been consumed with madness, causing his lust to flare wildly.
While Elaine's maddened state aroused me to no end, she finally entered the dimensional rift, prompting me to enter the carriage once more as it wouldn't be until tomorrow when she exits.
"Hmm, is something the matter, Illumia?" Asked Elif curiously as he sat and glanced at Illumia, who was sporting an unsightly expression.
"N-No, your Highness, I'm just concerned for Her Highness, that's all; I just hope she doesn't push herself too hard given her wounds." Replied Illumia softly with a shake of her head as she glanced at Elif while her expression returned to normal, causing him to suspiciously narrow his eyes.
"Illumia… You're not lying, are you? You know I don't like liars." Asked Elif lightly with a skeptical gaze as he eyed Illumia, causing Maxim to slightly scoot away from her while staying silent.
"Haa, I'm frightened of Her Highness." Said Illumia truthfully, her words causing Maxim to silently nod in understanding while Elif scoffed.
"Hmph, she is the Crown Princess and future Empress to the throne; should you not have some fear of her in your heart?" Remarked Elif calmly as he stared at Illumia, who hesitantly nodded.
"Yes, and I even have some fear of Empress Maria, though that's mainly my fear of ever disappointing her; with Her Highness, I am genuinely frightened of her." Stated Illumia softly as she looked at Elif, who nodded before dismissively waving his hand.
"Well, I suppose, given your position as my personal maid, it's somewhat expected for you to fear Elaine of all people; she can be a little forceful when it comes to women. Though it doesn't matter, she won't do anything too extreme, so stop worrying so much." Remarked Elif calmly as he lay on the seats while glancing at Illumia before closing his eyes, causing her to silently nod.
"Also, don't lie next time." Added Elif sternly, his words causing Illumia to nod once more while she apologized.

While standing just outside the carriage, I waited for Axzul to summon everyone outside of the dimension, which should be happening any moment now. After about a minute, she snapped her fingers, causing thousands of cultivators to suddenly appear in the large, open field; most looked depressed, angry, sad, or even all three, while some were smiling with joy, and surprisingly, that seemed to also be the case for my adorable little sister as she came skipping to me.
"Ho, you seem to be in an excellent mood, Elaine; did something good happen?" Asked Elif curiously as he embraced Elaine before kissing her, causing heavenly laughter to escape her mouth.
"Hehehe, yes, though you could say many good things happened." Replied Elaine with a smile as she hugged Elif, trying to sneakily move her hand into his pants, though he caught her before she could.
"Wait, you little vixen, we'll do that soon." Muttered Elif with a faint, lustful smile while whispering into Elaine's ear, causing her smile to widen as she chuckled in joy.
"If you could all summon your golden coins." Said Axzul lightly as she appeared floating above the crowd, her words causing thousands to express a variety of emotions as they followed her words.
Following Elder Axul's words, the participants began summoning their coins, with most having none or only a couple; numerous were just shy of the required ten, while even fewer had ten or more; Lucifer had exactly ten, while Comet had nearly one-hundred coins, making him the person with most coins among the group. However, as I observed the crowd, I couldn't help but slightly frown; there seemed to be an excessive amount of men compared to what I remember.
'Hmm, no, that is wrong; there isn't an excessive amount of men, but a minuscule number of women.' Mused Elif with a slight frown as he gazed at the few remaining women, which didn't even amount to fifty, a drastic difference compared to the previous thousands.
As I gazed at the women, I noticed they were all looking this way, yet instead of staring at me with affection, desire, and lust, they were looking at Elaine, and the only emotion their eyes conveyed was fear, though that alone wasn't enough to describe how badly they were frightened of Elaine, every one of her movements, whether it just be the twitch of her finger, caused them to recoil.
"Is something the matter, Brother?" Asked Elaine curiously as she glanced up at Elif before looking in the same direction he was, only to frown when she eyed the woman.
"Tsk, I didn't get to all of them." Muttered Elaine softly as she glared at the women in annoyance.
I had no idea what Elaine must've done to them, but the instant she glanced at them, half of them immediately either kowtowed or dropped into the fetal position while trembling in fear; the other half were too consumed with terror and promptly fainted.
"Elaine, what did you do to instill such fear into them?" Asked Elif curiously as he glanced at Elaine, who lightly chuckled while kissing him on the cheek.
"Hehe, nothing; I just killed a few of them, that's all, but it's their fault; they didn't want to just give me the golden coins." Replied Elaine lightly as she looked at Elif before flicking her hand, summoning a large pile of golden coins from her dimension ring, causing everyone to be taken aback.
Seeing the large pile of coins floating in the air, it was quite apparent Elaine wasn't telling the whole truth, but if I'm being honest, it didn't really bother me much; besides, I've learned it's better to just not question her too deeply.
"That is quite a lot of coins, Elaine." Muttered Elif lightly as he stared at the coins while Aurora, off in the distance, nodded his head and gazed at Elaine with respect.
Rubbing Elaine's head, causing her to cutely smile, Elder Axzul teleported everyone one more time, appearing in one of the rooms within the Sect building; this is where everyone would have their bone and soul age read, which should naturally pose a huge problem for Comet.
'Hmm, wonder how he'll bypass it.' Mused Elif curiously as he glanced at Comet, who had been constantly glaring at him in unbridled fury, which he'd been ignoring.
One by one, everyone who passed the previous test placed their hand on the crystal ball and had their true age projected into the air; most were between the ages of forty and eighty, with a few even nearing a hundred; in fact, there was even someone who was over one-hundred, and he wasn't even able to speak before he vanished from a snap, which seemed to strike some fear into Comet as I saw him nervously gulp.
However, when his turn came, the crystal ball took a little longer than usual to display his name, and to my surprise, his age said sixteen, while Lucifer, who went a little bit later, was slightly older than me at twenty-two.
'Huh. I wonder whether it was his system or the Phoenix Clan that helped him.' Thought Elif curiously as he gazed at Comet, who was seeingly speaking to no one, while Elaine had her age read.
