My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Inside the tent, Leon and Athena sat on small chairs, facing the long table in front of them.

Across from them, a petite young girl sat, her shy expression adding to her charm. Her round face, with its chubby cheeks, made her look even more adorable.

Her long green hair, neatly tied in an embellished braid, exuded a graceful blend of beauty and cuteness. Her round green eyes reflected the innocence of a child but also carried a mature charm. Her long ears—distinct from those of humans or demons—revealed her identity as an elf.

Yet, despite all her charm, one feature stood out and seemed slightly out of place for her small, petite frame—her huge chest!

Even under the loose black cloak that covered most of her body, leaving only her head exposed, the bulge was noticeable and difficult to ignore.

Leon stared at the girl's charming, endearing face, cleared his throat, and then asked, "So, do you really have a fortune teller?"

The elf girl lowered her head hesitantly and nodded slowly.

"Yes, I am a fortune teller, or rather, I have the ability to tell fortunes," she replied nervously, biting her lower lip.

Leon nodded slightly, but his gaze inevitably drifted to the girl's long, pointed ears. It was the first time he had seen elven ears up close, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

"Are these the legendary elven ears? They're beautiful and definitely unlike human or demon ears," Leon whispered, admiration clearly visible in his eyes.

Aware of his gaze on her ears, the elf girl's face turned bright red, and she quickly pulled the hood of her cloak over her head to cover them.

Beside Leon, Athena's anger and jealousy flared as she watched his unblinking gaze remain fixed on the girl's ears. Without a second thought, she pinched his waist.

"Ouch!" Leon flinched, the sharp pain in his side catching him off guard.

He quickly turned to Athena, whose expression was dark, her red eyes gleaming with a sinister light. Goosebumps crawled up his spine.

"Ahem!" Leon coughed again to mask his embarrassment. Wincing from the pain in his side, he turned his gaze back to the elf girl and asked, "Then, can you tell me why an elf like you is in Rothinia and has set up a tent stall like this?"

Though he had never interacted with elves before, Leon knew from ancient records that they were the most reclusive race, rarely leaving their homeland unless forced. Their dense forest habitat was clearly at odds with the bustling, crowded regions where humans lived.

Noticing Leon's change in topic, Athena let out a small snort and withdrew her hand from his waist. She then turned her attention to the elf girl, her curiosity matching Leon's.

Like him, this was the first time Athena had encountered an elf in person, and her curiosity was hard to contain.

Sensing the sharp gazes of the two and hearing Leon's question, the elf girl immediately felt nervous and unsure of how to react.

This was her first time meeting them, and she couldn't tell if they were benevolent or had malicious intentions.

Leon raised an eyebrow as he sensed the elf girl's hesitation and quickly grasped her predicament.

With a calming, reassuring smile, he placed both arms on the table and said, "I know you must be wary of us, but don't worry—we mean you no harm. We also promise not to reveal your identity to anyone."

Athena, sitting beside him, nodded in agreement, then added nonchalantly, "If we had ill intentions, we wouldn't be bothering to talk to you. After all, you're as weak as an ant compared to us."

As she spoke, a heavy pressure radiated from Athena's body, immediately making the atmosphere tense.

Nearby objects—cabinets, paintings, and various statues—shook violently, as if on the verge of toppling.

The elf girl's heart skipped a beat, and her face paled as she felt the crushing pressure Athena exuded.

She stared at her in horror, muttering under her breath, "This pressure... it's no less than Sister Queen's—no, it's even stronger! How can that be possible?"

At the same time, a faint pressure began to radiate from Leon, pushing back against Athena's intense aura.

"Well, don't scare her like that, Athena," Leon said softly, gently stroking the back of Athena's right hand.

"Humph!" Athena snorted coldly, quickly retracting her pressure.

The elf girl sighed in relief, though she was once again startled when she glanced at Leon's handsome figure.

"The pressure emanating from this handsome man surpasses even that of the woman beside him. How is that possible? How did I end up crossing paths with two humans wielding such immense power?" she thought, her toes curling in tension.

She sensed that these two were incredibly dangerous and deeply regretted stopping them from leaving earlier.

"Wuuu! Sister Queen, I'm so sorry for running away from the palace! Help me!" She silently cried in her heart.

Meanwhile, Leon, completely unaware of the elf girl's inner turmoil, kept his smile in place.

"So, can you tell us?" Leon asked again, his tone gentle.

The elf girl looked at Leon nervously, but she knew refusing him was not an option.

With a resigned sigh and slightly pursed lips, she finally began, "Actually..."

She revealed everything—her true name, her reason for venturing into human territory—without daring to withhold a single detail. The terrifying pressure Athena had exerted earlier had instilled a deep fear within her, leaving no room for deception.

Leon and Athena listened silently, though the shock on their faces was impossible to conceal.

When the elf girl finished her explanation, Leon finally understood both her predicament and the reason behind her presence in Rothinia.

Her name was Elina, and she was no ordinary elf but a high-ranking one—the sister of the elf queen. Bored of life in the elven palace, she had secretly slipped out of her territory, unnoticed by anyone.

However, due to her lack of direction, Elina became lost. After a long and arduous journey, she eventually arrived in the city of Rothinia three months ago.

Thankfully, her exceptional intelligence allowed her to learn the human language within weeks. Yet, without money and with her provisions exhausted during the journey, she was forced to set up a small roadside stall to survive.

"Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Leon muttered quietly, a slight twitch at the corners of his lips.

Truth be told, Leon found it hard to believe that his decision to stop in Rothinia had led him to meet Elina, the sister of the elven queen. It all seemed too coincidental, almost illogical.

Yet, he decided to set his confusion aside for now and turned his attention back to Elina, who still appeared shy and alert.

"By the way, you mentioned you can do fortune telling, right? Can you do one for us?" Leon quickly changed the subject.

Although meeting Elina, an elf, had been unexpected and surprising, he hadn't forgotten his main purpose for stopping at this stall.

At the mention of "fortune-telling," Elina's expression lit up with excitement. She nodded eagerly, her head bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Of course I can!" Elina replied confidently, patting her huge chest.

Leon's gaze instinctively shifted to Elina's jiggling chest, and he felt a slight awkwardness. Though Elina had a petite stature and a childlike face, her large chest made Leon wonder, "Is that why she's so short, with all her nutrients gathered there?"

*Whoosh!*

A sudden chill swept over Leon, followed by a sharp, jealous gaze filled with anger that made him shiver. Without needing to turn around, Leon immediately recognized it as Athena's.

Still smiling, Leon chose to ignore Athena's jealous glare and casually said, "In that case, please do the fortune-telling for the woman beside me first, then for me. If you're successful, I'll give you five gold coins as payment."

"Five gold coins!?" Elina gasped in astonishment, staring at Leon in disbelief.

One gold coin was equivalent to an ordinary person's monthly income, if not more, as few could earn even a single gold coin in a month. In over two months of running her stall, she had earned just twenty bronze coins!

She had never even held a silver coin, let alone gold!

Seeing Elina's wide-eyed reaction, Leon couldn't help but chuckle.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Yes, five gold coins. How about it? Can you do it? If not, we'll leave," Leon teased, his gaze playful.

As if challenged, Elina's expression changed instantly, her eyes now burning with enthusiasm. "Don't worry! I can do it!" she replied with conviction.

Where there had once been doubt and caution in her round eyes, there was now affection and admiration as she looked at Leon.

Though she was the princess of the elves, accustomed to luxury, the hardships she had faced over the past two months had taught her a crucial lesson: both elves and humans couldn't survive without money!

Leon's generosity appeared like an angel offering help to someone lost in life.

Had it not been for the beautiful and intimidating woman beside him, she might have leapt up to kiss Leon's handsome face in joy.

Leon could feel Elina's enthusiastic gaze on him, but he simply smiled, saying nothing.

To others, five gold coins were a huge amount, but to him, it barely registered—a drop in the ocean of his wealth.

While Leon was lost in his thoughts, Elina quickly pulled two gold-colored pieces of paper from her pocket and placed them in front of Athena.

"Then, let's begin the fortune-telling!"
