The next day, Elena went to the Duke's castle along with Lin Yan early in the morning. She had promised Lise that she would spend the day playing with her and she was going to keep the promise.

After reaching the Duke's home, Elena and Lin Yan found a group of cultivators welcoming them. The status of a cultivator in this nation was very high, so seeing quite a few of the bowing reverently was definitely a rare experience for anyone.

After that, they escorted both of them to a large room where Liselotte was waiting for them. As soon as the little girl saw Elena, she stopped doing whatever she was doing and jumped toward Elena. Then she started to act spoiled and silently begged Elena to dote on her.

Elena did not have any problem with doting the little girl, so she did exactly what Lise was expecting and patted her head while hugging the petite girl. All these while Lise's head was buried between Elena's valleys.

After spoiling her for a few moments Elena finally introduced Lin Yan to her. Lise was so overjoyed after seeing Elena that she did not notice Lin Yan at all. But after Elena introduced him as her student, Lise politely greeted him. Lin Yan also returned the greetings a bit awkwardly. Then they started playing.

In this area, the most famous game that many young girls played was similar to play pretend. But as Lise was truly a rich princess, the realism of her game was quite high with proper dresses and equipment. Elena had also played such games in her childhood so she was able to accompany Lise properly, but throughout their whole time, Lin Yan suffered a lot.

All the dresses that Lise had were meant for girls to wear. And Lin Yan wanted to be a part of the game, Lise insisted that he had to properly dress up. So poor Lin Yan was forced to cross dress and Elena was forced to contact the duke to help Lin Yan as she felt pity for the boy.

After getting Elena's massage, he personally came and brought Lin Yan out to see the military training of the duke household which was something Lin Yan was very interested in. Lin Yan understood that Elena had helped him get out of the bad situation and he gave a grateful look to Elena before leaving.

Lise was not very sad with Lin Yan leaving as her main target of playing was Elena. Elena also had some experience in handling kids, so she was able to have a good time with Lise.

After playing for an hour or so, Lise got bored and asked Elena for some stories. Elena did not disappoint her and told him a few stories of her adventure in the Tang nation.

When Lise was first brought to this nation by her father, she was ostracised because of her vampire lineage. As a human centric area, many sects had a bad outlook of different races. It was not as bad as killing any race other than themselves as all the races were supported by the gods, but many did not like to associate with a different race.

A few extremists even went as far as to ask the duke to get rid of this blood sucker. That day of the medium sized sect named Heaven Thunder sect was destroyed completely with all its members dying.

Hell's Paradise sect also had an elder who also asked the marquis to get rid of his daughter. Even though that elder was punished by the Hell's Paradise sect after Heaven Thunder sect got destroyed, the marquis was not happy with that so called punishment and forcefully broke through the Hell's Paradise sect to kill that elder himself. Since then the relationship between the Hell's Paradise sect and the Marquis Zhongnian had been very bad.

That incident also showed the world that, Liselotte was marquis Zhongnian's reverse scale, so no one should provoke it if they wanted to live. So the incident surrounding Liselotte came to an end. But one year ago, a foolish brat of an opposing family insulted Liselotte by saying that she was a monster who sucked blood and bullied her.

As a little girl, Liselotte had no resistance to such bullying and she became depressed even since. The marquis also retaliated harshly against that boy's family and taught them a lesson but the damage was already done. After that incident, Liselotte became very quiet and stopped interacting with outsiders.

For that reason when the Duke heard that his baby daughter was finally willing to interact with other people once more, he was overjoyed. A child needed to have friends to grow up properly and hoped that interacting with Lin Yun would be beneficial in this regard. That's why he was so enthusiastic toward Elena's Lin Yun disguise.

Elena knew that reason so she also did her best to help Lise get rid of her anxiety by telling her about the outside world. She told her about the good people she met and also told her about some of the bad encounters. All in all, Elena tried to give her an impression that even though there were a lot of bad people in the world, the amount of good people was also very high. So if she completely shut herself down from the outside world, she would not be able to meet those good people.

Then she revealed the existence of Lin Yue and told her that she could become a good friend for her. Then she gifted her a virtual simulation game, where she could play her Play Pretend in the virtual reality. Elena used her clone or you can say alter ego to create this game in her mini world after she started to tell her the stories.

Elena did not intend to popularize the virtual reality games but giving it to someone who would enjoy it was fine. She knew that both the duke and Liselotte would keep it a secret from everyone. She also planned to give a few virtual reality games to her friends in the divine realm but as gods their specs were different. So Elena needed a bit more fine tuning before creating a game suited for them.

...

Lise had a very good time with Elena. It was probably her best day in her life. The comfortable sister played with her a lot. Then she told her exciting stories about herself and she enjoyed it a lot. Finally the beautiful elder sister even gave her an awesome gift.

Even though Liselotte was small, as the daughter of a high ranking noble, she was quite intelligent and knew a lot about the world. So she understood that the gift she received from her beloved elder sister was very valuable.

Giving such a gift to her also proved that the elder sister really cared for her and that warmed Liselotte's heart. If she had also rejected her like the other nobles, then she would not know what to do. She probably would have cried a lot in secret.

But after hearing the story of her elder sister defeating the bandits and meeting good people on her she directly categorised the previous noble heirs as bandits and bad people and the girl named Lin Yue as good people. Now she was also getting excited to meet more good people.

And just like that, with a little help from Elena, Liselotte was able to take one step forward to overcoming her trauma.

...

After playing a lot of Elena, tired Liselotte fell asleep after having her lunch. So, Elena let her sleep peacefully in her room and went to meet with her duke. There she finally revealed her true appearance to him and explained her origin a bit. Nothing much but she just told him that she also came from a different nation outside the Goddess Tiandi's influence.

By the way, she had already shown her true appearance to Liselotte and earned a new nickname of very pretty elder sister. The duke was also astonished with Elena's beauty but was able to compose himself with his great willpower.

After the duke calmed down Elena explained to him the virtual simulator game. Then she requested him to not tell anyone about this game. Duke was very intrigued with the game and started to play that like a little kid. After Elena told him that the game would not run away, the duke put down the game with an embarrassed expression. Then he turned serious and solemnly promised to not leak the secret of the miraculous item.

Just like that the extra day that Elena decided to spend in the Sky Pillar City ended and she was supposed to leave the city the very next day.

As Elena was thinking when they should leave the Sky Pillar City she suddenly got an unexpected massage that might extend her stay in this city. What would that message be ?
