“But the things I’ve used, including the places I’ve slept in, will still retain my scent. If you look closely, Levi, the chances of me being exposed are even greater,” Charlotte said.

"I'm not a pervert, I wouldn't go to your bedside just to smell you. It's precisely because I wanted to avoid suspicion that I was able to keep it from you for so long," Li Wei said with a smile.

Charlotte opened the bag containing the food. In addition to the three items she had requested, Levi had also brought her a bottle of hot milk. She thought about it and figured it was probably because the food she had ordered was rather dry. Levi was always so considerate in such details; he was like sunshine, spreading his gentle warmth equally to everyone around him.

To be honest, Charlotte likes the gentle Levi, but she doesn't like that Levi is gentle to everyone, because doing so is easy to suffer losses. Not everyone will accept Levi's kindness and be willing to reciprocate his kindness.

Charlotte's upbringing made her more mature, or rather, more somber, than her peers when it came to thinking about various things.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little jealous of the two girls around Li Wei, Houki Shinonono and Cecilia. These two girls had a very close relationship with Li Wei, which had reached the point of being more than friends but not quite lovers. For some reason, she felt a little envious.

Charlotte was somewhat disappointed, and her smile seemed forced.

Li Wei's mind-reading ability had already detected this change. He sighed inwardly, "This jealousy came on way too quickly. Besides, the two of them haven't even established a relationship yet, nothing's even started. What kind of jealousy is this?"

However, girls' minds are often so delicate that it's not easy to see through them without the ability to read minds.

"Li Wei, you're quite popular with girls," Charlotte whispered.

Li Wei laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I've faced this kind of trouble since I was a child. I remember when I was little, some girls would even fight over the chance to play with me."

Li Wei wasn't exaggerating; he really did experience something like that. Because of it, he became an outcast among boys and was ostracized. It was precisely because of this that Li Wei resolved to become an elegant and extraordinary person, surpassing ordinary people, which led to who he is today. Many of our current traits often have their roots in childhood.

Chapter 1. Elegance and Girls

Li Wei was very aware of his own charm; he was handsome and dashing, like an observer from a higher dimension, that is, the readers.

The ugly duckling will never become a swan; it is the cygnet of the swan that becomes a swan, not the cygnet of the wild duck. Before gaining his supernatural powers, Li Wei was already a handsome and dashing young man.

When he was studying in Japan, he would often be approached by talent scouts on the streets of Shibuya, who would ask him if he would like to debut as an idol. This was because Li Wei's face, if not disguised, was simply too eye-catching.

It was precisely because of his strikingly handsome face and the strong physique he maintained through regular exercise that he was the most dazzling presence wherever he went. To address the issue of being too conspicuous, Li Wei learned the Neon Makeup Technique, one of the four great Asian sorceries, and used makeup skills to disguise himself, finally managing to keep his charm within a reasonable range. Even so, he was still considered an outstandingly handsome man, which shows just how good his natural features were.

After embarking on the path of cultivation and becoming a Qi cultivator, his charm improved significantly, reaching a level where even makeup could not conceal it. Fortunately, the power of magic was far more effective and convenient than makeup.

In this dimensional world where everyone is incredibly good-looking, Li Wei no longer suppresses his charm. As a result, the women around him unconsciously focus their attention on him, some out of admiration and others out of possessiveness.

However, Li Wei's popularity stems not only from his good looks, but more so from the charisma he cultivates through his strict self-discipline. Li Wei's family is quite ordinary, not wealthy, but comfortable enough. However, his parents were very attentive to his education, not just in terms of grades, but in shaping his character. This is why Li Wei has become the complex person he is today, possessing both a wicked, almost morally questionable side and a near-saintly side. This fusion of good and evil gives him an almost alluring charm.

To those he cares about, he can be a savior bringing light and hope; to those he hates, he is a demon king of the bottomless abyss, bringing only destruction and calamity.

A good family education instilled in Li Wei an instinctive gentlemanly demeanor in his daily life. Even when alone, he maintained an elegant posture. The elegance that Li Wei pursued was not to gain the approval of others, but to set a benchmark for himself and try his best not to fall below that benchmark.

A person is learned without showing off, powerful without bullying the weak, mature by understanding others, and composed in the face of adversity. The ability to remain unmoved even when faced with a collapsing mountain or a frightened deer is the epitome of elegance.

It is precisely because of this elegant philosophy that Li Wei is like a cup of rich coffee or a glass of fragrant brandy in the eyes of women; just by standing there, he seems to be a collection of stories.

Young women see composure in Livy, while mature women see childlike innocence. A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets, and a thousand women have countless Livys. Trying to summarize the contradictory Livy with specific styles will lead to a lack of vocabulary; he is simply masculine charm itself.

At first, a woman might be attracted to Li Wei simply because of his good looks, but once she has spent time with him, she will soon be captivated by his interesting and charming soul and become his captive.

Charlotte looked at Levi and felt that the food in her mouth tasted even better. Although she felt uncomfortable that there were many girls around Levi, none of those girls could share a room with him like she did. Thinking this, she ran to the front of the group, and her originally depressed mood suddenly brightened up.

Li Wei took out his easel and paintbrush and began his daily practice. Li Wei's love for painting was untainted by any self-interest, so even after embarking on the path of the extraordinary, he would still personally use his hands and brush to paint on canvas or paper. His love for painting was no less than his love for games.

Charlotte watched as Levi took out his painting tools, and then simply took some food and came up behind him. Watching Levi paint was a double enjoyment for both the mind and the eyes, because the paintings he created were breathtakingly beautiful.

Since it was in the dormitory, which didn't have a dedicated art studio, he didn't use oil paints with a strong odor. After all, oil painting can easily affect the surrounding environment. So, he chose paints that were easier to handle, as they didn't have such a strong smell, and even if he accidentally spilled them on the floor, they were easy to clean up.

"Li Wei, what are you planning to paint today, a landscape or a portrait?" Charlotte swallowed the food in her mouth. Because she swallowed it too quickly, she quickly pounded her collarbone a few times. She then grabbed a cup of hot milk from the side and gulped it down to avoid choking.

“People. The past few days I’ve been painting landscapes, so let’s paint people today.” Li Wei turned to Charlotte and made a picture frame gesture with his hands. The frame was perfectly aligned with Charlotte, who was still eating.

"Huh? You want to draw me?" Charlotte asked in surprise, but at the same time she was also a little happy. She knew how superb Li Wei's painting skills were. In her opinion, even those so-called famous artists were no match for Li Wei. This was not a filter, but Li Wei's painting skills had already reached an inhuman level. No matter what he painted, he could show the most amazing beauty.

“Isn’t that obvious? I had convinced myself that I would never paint men, but considering you are my friend, I broke my rule. Who knew you would be a girl? If you’re a girl, there aren’t so many restrictions. I wanted to paint your beauty so that no matter how much time passes, that beauty can remain,” Li Wei said with a smile.

"Li Wei, you don't paint men? Is there some kind of rule about that?" Charlotte asked curiously.

“Because drawing requires careful observation of the subject, and I’m a perfectly normal male, I have no problem looking at women. But when I look at men, the more closely I look, the more disgusted I feel. It makes me feel like a gay man picking his prey, so I never draw men. Of course, I can draw anime-style male illustrations without any reference objects,” Li Wei said.

"I see. It's truly an honor to be your friend," Charlotte said with a smile.

"When I first planned to draw you, I didn't know you were a girl. I had this feeling that even if I used you as a model, I could easily end up drawing you as a girl. Who knew you really were a girl?" Li Wei laughed.

Chapter 1. Written for You

Li Wei stood up, adjusting the angle of his hands as if they were a picture frame. Charlotte put down her food and cooperated with Li Wei, trying her best to maintain a proper posture.

Li Wei finished his interview in just a few seconds.

"Wow! Is that all?" Charlotte picked up the food again.

“Of course, your image is already imprinted in my mind. I have observed your face from all angles, so I don’t need to find new material for the painting. As for the background, how about sunflowers and blue sky?” Li Wei picked up his paintbrush, took out paints from his art supply box, and mixed colors. Li Wei personally felt that paints were more convenient than oil paints. He got some from the bathroom as a spare for mixing colors, and the preparation work was complete.

Charlotte knew that Li Wei's painting skills were extremely outstanding, and he could master various styles and tools very well. She had previously seen Li Wei use a brush to paint a traditional Chinese style painting, using only black and white to depict the majesty of the snow-capped mountains. The sense of oppression that broke through the paper was overwhelming, which could not be explained by technique alone.

If Livy's meticulous brushwork is the ultimate in realism, then his polychrome paintings are the ultimate in romance. Livy was extremely sensitive to color, always able to create the most stunning combinations, using uncommon colors to create the atmosphere he desired—something that ordinary painters could not achieve.

In the early stages of learning painting, the competition is about who works harder and has a more solid foundation. But later on, everyone is so focused that the ceiling of effort is quickly reached. Then, it becomes a stage where talent comes into play. From this stage onward, technique is no longer as important as it was at the beginning, because everyone's technique is already quite good. What follows is the competition of composition, sensitivity to color, and a deeper level of humanistic charm. Every masterpiece that has survived in history, especially those that have received widespread acclaim, contains a story and is also a reflection and portrayal of the era in which it was created.

Charlotte herself is not good at painting, but she is from an aristocratic family. Even though she is an illegitimate child, she received a family education that far exceeded that of ordinary people. Therefore, her level of art appreciation is also far beyond that of ordinary people.

Because she understands, she is eager to see how she will appear in Li Wei's writing.

After quickly finishing her pasta, Charlotte stood behind Levi with a jianbing (Chinese crepe) in her left hand and hot milk in her right, showing no trace of ladylike demeanor.

Whether it's a colored painting or an oil painting, most people are used to sketching with a pencil, and Levi was no exception. Although with his skill level, it wouldn't matter if he skipped this step, he had developed the habit of drawing line drawings. In just two or three minutes, Levi completed the line drawing. Although it looked a bit rough, Charlotte next to him could already recognize it as her. However, in the line drawing, she was wearing a white dress and a straw sun hat, strolling in a flower field, her profile turned towards someone, her eyes glancing sideways at someone outside the picture. This angle could be said to be quite in line with Levi's personal style.

To avoid being too sensational, Li Wei slowed down his painting speed, taking nearly half an hour to complete a painting that would normally take less than ten minutes. Even so, half an hour is still a daunting time for an average painter.

Charlotte had finished her dinner and thrown all the trash into the designated trash can.

"Is it because the composition is simpler than usual today?" Charlotte asked curiously.

“No, it’s the passion for creation. When you’re passionate about creating, you can unleash more potential than ever before. Because it’s you I’m painting. We’ve spent some time together, so I’ve grasped your physical characteristics. I can quickly complete the most crucial parts, and the rest doesn’t matter much,” Li Wei said with a smile.

Charlotte looked at herself in the painting. Wearing a straw sun hat, she had a gentle smile on her face. Her pure white long dress fluttered in the wind. Sunflower petals were blown around her. The distant mountains, the blue sky above, and the sea of ​​sunflowers all around created a dreamlike scene.

Charlotte exclaimed, "There's no such beautiful scenery in the real world. Those photos are all the result of post-production editing. There's nothing like this in reality."

Li Wei smiled and said, "That's a bit too absolute. There is a place that can meet your requirements."

Charlotte looked curious and asked, "Where is that? Are there places like that in the world?"

Li Wei said, "In Chong Kingdom, there is a place called Zhaigou. The scenery there is so beautiful it's like a painting, and it can completely meet your requirements."

In the real world, Zhaigou has become polluted due to geological disasters, affecting its landscape. It will take at least two to three years for it to recover naturally. However, Zhaigou in this world has not suffered any natural disasters, so its scenery remains intact. This is something that tourists in the real world can only envy.

Because of his fondness for the scenery of Zhaigou, Li Wei recreated the scenery of Zhaigou on his floating island and even made some improvements. It became one of the most popular sights among his followers, even more popular than the sunny white sand beach.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go." Charlotte's eyes shone with longing.

Li Wei thought to himself, even if Charlotte can't go to Zhaigou in this world, the "Restored Zhaigou" on the floating island can still meet her requirements.

Charlotte stared at the painting of herself, somewhat lost in thought. It took her a while to recover before she said, "Although this suggestion is a bit shameless, I still want to ask, can I buy this painting?"

Charlotte knew perfectly well that although Levi considered her a friend, they hadn't known each other for very long. She couldn't bring herself to ask Levi to give her something directly, which was why she suggested buying it. While friendships are often based on mutual help, it's best to be clear about money and valuables when it comes to these matters.

With his mind-reading abilities always active, Li Wei could clearly see Charlotte's inner thoughts. He understood Charlotte's reluctance to take advantage of him, but he wouldn't comply with her wishes.

Li Wei said, "I originally intended to give this painting to you; after all, it was painted specifically for you."

Chapter 1. Another Deception

Seeing that Charlotte was about to speak, Levi raised his palm and said, "Don't rush to refuse. This painting originally belonged to you, and this kind of thing cannot be measured by money. I don't want to taint this feeling with money. Have I made myself clear enough?"

Charlotte's original words were all blocked, because Levi had already gone this far. If she insisted on her own opinion, it would seem ungrateful. Moreover, the act of Levi giving her the painting itself warmed her heart.

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and the paper on the easel rose up on its own. At the same time, the sparse marks on the surface were instantly dried, a sight that shocked Charlotte.

"This?! Is this magic?!" Charlotte covered her mouth and exclaimed softly.

Levi said, "Magic can't do this. You can think of it as magic."

Charlotte was a little confused. Europe is a region where faith has not been completely eradicated, but overall it reveres science. Levi's sudden appearance of magic was already challenging her worldview.

"You're kidding, right? Magic, does it really exist?" Charlotte shook her head, patting her cheeks to try and clear her head.

Li Wei snapped his fingers again, and this time, a large number of Western musical instruments suddenly appeared in the room and began to play lively music. The instruments seemed to have a life of their own, jumping and dancing, and the playing was accompanied by cheerful dancing.

Charlotte was completely stunned. If making the paper float could be explained by magic before, what could explain what she was seeing now? An illusion?

Charlotte saw a small instrument pass by her and grabbed it as it was playing. The small instrument struggled a couple of times, but realizing it couldn't break free from Charlotte's grasp, it simply let her hold it. Meanwhile, it caught up with the rhythm of the other instruments and continued playing in unison.

Charlotte felt the cool touch on her hands; everything before her was not an illusion, and all the instruments were real.

"Levi, stop! There's no way to hide such a loud noise. What if someone else finds out?" Charlotte said fearfully. She was afraid that Levi's magic would be seen by others, and she was also afraid that her identity would be exposed because of this.

"Don't worry, I've set up a soundproof barrier. No sound from inside the room can escape now. Even a bomb explosion wouldn't leak out at all," Li Wei said with a smile.

Li Wei clapped his hands, and all the instruments that were playing stopped. At the same time, his body rapidly became ethereal and disappeared without a trace in just a few seconds.

Charlotte was so surprised she didn't know what to say. Levi, who possessed magical powers, was no longer someone who could be understood by common sense.

Charlotte sat in her chair, paused for a moment, and said, "It's unbelievable that someone with extraordinary power like you would come to school."

Charlotte couldn't understand Levi's existence. He could have lived a quiet life in the shadows, yet he chose to become a student at an academy. As the only male student in the entire academy, he attracted the attention of many forces, putting himself in danger. She was forced to come to the academy, but she couldn't understand Levi's motives.

Li Wei said, "I came here to save this place. Since you know the wonders of magic, you should also know the prophecies of those myths and legends."

"Do you mean something like predicting the future?" Charlotte asked. She had some knowledge of fantasy literature. Because of restrictions on her personal freedom, she couldn't move around freely in the outside world, so reading became one of her few hobbies. In the environment of Europe, she came into contact with a lot of classical epic novels and fantasy literature, and some of the strange contents in them involved prophecy.

Li Wei nodded and said, "I saw the destruction of the academy, and the teachers and students here will face annihilation. But as long as I guard this place, I can solve the problem at its root, so I came."

Just like he had tricked Yamada Maya before, Li Wei transmitted the images directly into Charlotte's mind. Charlotte actually "saw" the images in her mind, and her face grew increasingly grim because the images she saw were too horrific. Apart from a very few lucky ones, most of the students in the academy had died in that disaster that hadn't even begun.

"Is something like this really going to happen?" Charlotte asked Levi with a serious expression.
