Chapter 35: Enchanting Cult Leader 1
"That depends on whether you have the ability," Elora had almost forgotten about the matter, but to her surprise, Isabella suddenly approached, leaning in to whisper a few words in her ear.
"Ah!" Isabella screamed as she pulled out a dagger. "I'm going to kill you!"
"Vixen, max out my combat power!"
Isabella charged at her recklessly, but Elora nimbly sidestepped, grabbing her left arm in a swift motion.
With her right hand, Isabella slashed at Elora with the dagger, but Elora retaliated with a whip kick. The pain caused Isabella to release her grip on the weapon.
Seizing the opportunity, Elora swiftly executed a shoulder throw, slamming Isabella to the ground, where the woman lay, unable to rise due to the pain.
"Lora!" Cole, seeing Elora in such a disheveled state, felt his heart leap into his throat. "Are you hurt?"
Elora gave him a reassuring smile. "Of course, I'm fine. The only one truly injured is lying over there." She gestured toward the woman curled up on the ground a short distance away.
Suddenly, Elora felt a wave of dizziness. Her vision blurred, and she collapsed into Cole's arms.
"Lora..." Cole's voice was filled with panic as he lifted her into his arms.
Ding... Target's affection +15, current affection value: 100.
Whenever her combat power was maxed out, it left her exhausted, but she would recover after a brief rest.
"Client, please return to your original form as per our request."
"Thank you," the client said gratefully, offering her a smile.
"Vixen, prepare to withdraw the soul."

Little Epilogue
When Elora regained consciousness, Cole proposed to her. However, Cole's father, Jack, objected.
Grandfather, furious, grabbed Jack by the ear and said, "I didn't ask for your opinion. As long as Cole and I agree, that's enough." Jack, being a dutiful son, reluctantly consented after the old man spoke.
When Grandfather first met Elora at the hospital, he immediately liked her, seeing her as a fine young woman. Now, with them becoming a family, he was even happier.
At 23, Elora married Cole.
Just as in her past life, after graduating from university, Cole founded a tech company named Colora Tech, blending both their names. This time, the company was located in City N, and it became even more successful, going public two years earlier than in her previous life.
Their story continued…

Space-Time Bureau Reception Room.
Elora gazed at the stunningly beautiful ancient woman before her, utterly captivated.
The woman wore a flowing robe, her figure graceful, eyes sparkling with depth, skin as fair as snow, and her features were delicate and exquisite, like a painting. With a single glance, she exuded an aura of bewitching charm, like a fairy whose beauty was both intoxicating and mesmerizing.
"Hello, I am Elora. May I ask, is there any wish you need me to fulfill?"
"Are you the one who will grant my wish?" The woman cast a glance at Elora, her gaze both commanding and regal.
"Yes!" Elora answered confidently, undaunted by the woman's imposing presence, her posture calm and composed.
The woman smiled alluringly at Elora, as though pleased with her response. "I am the Master of the Nebula Sect. One day, my secret guard brought me news that the Skycrest Sect planned to unite with the four great sects to attack my order. I decided to infiltrate the Skycrest Sect that very night to gather information, but I was discovered by their people.
Although my martial arts are quite formidable, I was outnumbered and severely wounded. Then, a warrior saved me. I knew he was the son of the Overlord of the Eternal Night Order, so I intentionally concealed my identity. He truly believed my words, and I couldn't help but think, how could someone be so gullible?"
The woman smiled sweetly, seemingly lost in fond memories. "We eventually fell in love, but he later discovered my true identity. He stood for righteousness, while I stood for the protection of my evil sect. We fought, and in our final battle, I purposely let him strike the fatal blow. Though I died by his hand, I held no regrets. To die by his sword made me happy, and if given the chance, I would marry him and leave the martial world behind."
