"Welcome to the Infinity Library. I am your allotted book guide, Maymay, greeted a voluptuous and strikingly beautiful humanoid creature. She resembled a human in nearly every aspect except for her pointed ears and two pairs of delicate membranous wings.
"Are you perhaps an Elder Pixie, Maymay?" Wyatt asked, his gaze drawn to her flawless skin, violet hair, and matching violet eyes, wings, and attire-all perfectly groomed, from her nails to her leaf-like dress.
"Yes," Maymay replied curtly, surprising Wyatt. To his astonishment, she seemed wary of him for some reason.
This reaction was a first for Wyatt. While it was his first encounter with an Elder Pixie, it was also the first time a pixie displayed unease around him. He wondered if it had something to do with his nature as a hybrid World Devouring Tree/Viltronian. Soon he concluded Maymay's wariness stemmed from the World Devouring Tree side of him.
Wyatt was impressed by Maymay's sharp intuition and began to wonder if all Elder Pixies shared such remarkable perceptiveness. Worried she might discern his true identity, he quickly activated his Myriad Devil Transformation, adding a faint touch of primordial energy to conceal the World Devouring Tree within him. However, he was cautious not to openly use primordial energy, especially in a spiritual city and in the presence of an Elder Pixie.
Despite his precautions, Maymay frowned, her right brow arching as she scrutinized him. Her jaw clenched in frustration when her search yielded nothing. After several moments, she relaxed but appeared confused. Moments earlier, she had sensed a significant threat from the demon merchant, but now he seemed harmless-incapable of even harming the hem of her dress.
Lost in contemplation, she ignored her duty until Wyatt's polite cough broke her reverie. Blushing crimson from her cheeks to her ears, Maymay hastily bowed at a full ninety degrees and apologized, "I'm terribly sorry, esteemed guest. Please forgive my muddledness." Giving Wyatt a peek at her bountiful cleavage.
"Not unless you start calling me by my name," Wyatt replied, averting his gaze. Maymay subtly glanced up, gauging his sincerity. Realizing he wasn't joking, her blush deepened as she noticed her revealing posture. She swiftly and gracefully covered her bosom by folding her hands in a respectful gesture. "I apologize for showing you something unsightly, esteemed guest. Please forgive me."
"No, I liked it," Wyatt said candidly, catching her off guard. Then, grabbing her wrist gently, he pulled her upright and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Dalton Wyatt. Nice to meet you, Maymay. You can call me Wyatt."
"Hi, Wyatt. Thank you for your generosity. I'm eternally grateful," Maymay said, her tone softening. "However, I must make up for my shortcomings in attending to you. As compensation, you may avail yourself of a study room in this branch of the Infinity Library for an entire decade, free of charge."
The study rooms in Sector WS9909's Infinity Library were akin to high-end gyms run by native demon and devil merchants in this sector. Here, however, renters gained direct access to the library's boundless collection of books. Renters could summon and practice any art or technique directly within the study rooms-a unique feature of this branch. Unsurprisingly, the rental costs followed the sector's natives' outrageous pricing system. Even with discounts ranging from 10% to 70% for executives of Infinity Library based on their tier, Maymay's offer was worth trillions of top-grade soul jade.
Wyatt hesitated, fearing Maymay might get into trouble for offering such a hefty compensation. Despite her status as an Elder Pixie, she was still a servant of the Librarian, and masters were rarely forgiving of slaves who caused significant losses. "No, you don't have to compensate me for such a small thing. I've already forgotten about it, and you should too," he insisted.
Maymay studied him intently, trying to determine if he was foolish for rejecting such an offer. Her eyes widened in realization when she understood his reasoning: he was declining the compensation to protect her from potential repercussions. A gentle smile spread across her lips as she reassured him, "Don't worry, Wyatt. I won't get in trouble over this. In fact, if I wanted, I could reserve a study room for you indefinitely. Our master doesn't concern himself with such minor transactions. So please, accept it -or I'll be forced to increase the compensation."
"In that case, I won't accept it at all," Wyatt replied, meeting her gaze directly. Maymay blinked in surprise before both of them burst into laughter. She found Wyatt intriguing, unlike any demon merchant she'd ever met. Curiosity sparked within her, and she felt drawn to learn more about him. This was unique feeling she had ever only felt toward the Librarian their elusive master that rarely made appearance before them despite being so generous to them.
"Fine," she said with subtle smile, but she didn't forget her promise, adding, "But if you ever need a study room, you can find me anytime."
Wyatt nodded, unsurprised by her sincerity. Elder Pixies, while sharper than their regular counterparts, shared their innate honesty in insignificant matters.
"In that case, you can find me anytime you'd like to visit my native realm. It's beautiful," Wyatt proposed, subtly probing to see if Elder Pixies were free to leave and return to the library as they pleased. Observing the Librarian's apparent leniency toward Elder Pixies, he was curious to gauge her response.
Wyatt had long been trying to understand the Librarian's intent behind enslaving the pixies. Sometimes he wondered if the Librarian was saving the pixies from their own naivety, and other times he considered whether it was simply about maintaining a monopoly over pixie dust. The way the Librarian treated the pixies was also intriguing; in some ways, he gave them free rein within the Infinity Library. However, they were strictly prohibited from being disrespectful or rude to guests unless absolutely warranted.
Wyatt attempted to uncover what happened to those who tried to take advantage of the docile pixies in the Infinity Library, but to his surprise, no such records existed.
