章 383: Using the haughty Elders

"So, Master, who are we waiting for?" Scylla inquired, her curious gaze scanning the surroundings as they stood near the teleportation station, the hum of energy buzzing around them.

"Well, she mentioned she would be arriving any time soon," Eli replied nonchalantly, his fingers lightly brushing over his slightly reddened lips, a faint smile playing on his features.

"What happened to your lips?" Scylla probed, noticing the subtle change.

Eli chuckled softly, "Just a playful encounter with a snake earlier."

Scylla arched an eyebrow and frowned with scepticism crossing her face as she processed Eli's response.

Scarlett's voice rang out with an apology as she hurried toward them, her expression slightly flustered.

"Why the delay?" Eli inquired, his tone filled with playful curiosity as Scarlett ushered them into the teleportation platform.
