The saintess I possessed had a head full of nonsense.

Li Xuan waited nervously for the incident to end. At present, he was a genuine piece of trash. If that female college student suddenly barged into the room and started the side quest, he would have no ability to protect his chastity.

Time ticked by, and Li Xuan grew increasingly anxious. Was there still no result? Was Christine on the run? Had Sword Saint Chris made his move?

It wasn't until almost nightfall that he received the settlement of his gains from [Mirror Flower Water Moon], and Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

First, there's the last incident.

[The event "Bishop Isaac's False Accusation" has been completed. You can choose one of the rewards from the following options.]

Christine's 3-day mage training level, Christine's current status [Menstrual Period], Weapon [Holy Banner], Equipment [Pure White Saintess Robe (Wedding Version)]

Li Xuan's face darkened. Although he couldn't help but have a philosophical interest in exploring what would happen if a man had a period, using something like that as a reward was really too much!

Are the remaining three options a bit unbalanced?

A 3-day mage's cultivation level is nowhere near as good as the weapon [Holy Banner] and the equipment [Pure White Saintess Robe (Wedding Version)]!

However, his demand for the weapon [Holy Banner] violated the principle of not engaging in martial ethics by ambushing a female college student, and he also didn't know what level of sorcerer the woman was at.

As for the "skin" 【Pure White Saintess Robe (Bridal Version)】, that's even more ridiculous. He's already possessed a woman, so why would he need to wear women's clothing?

Moreover, similar to the former, besides making it more interesting for the female college student to take his virginity, it also allows the intelligence network of the Church of Light to discover the matter and for Saint Christine to notice something amiss.

We can only choose to cultivate for now. Christine can cultivate to become a 3-star warlock in 6 days. With 3 days of normal training plus 1 day of normal training, a total of 4 days, it may be possible to make him a 2-star warlock!

Anyway, we still need to search for the Saintess again; we can use these two items then. By the way, is the Saintess safe now? These two items look a bit like her outfit in the "Saintess's Defeat CG" scene.

[Christine has been selected for 3 days of mage training]

The gains from this possession have been calculated.

Christine's 1+3 Days of Mage Cultivation, Spell Signs: Backstab, Insatiable Greed, Wave Burst, Blessing of Courage, The Price of Impulsiveness

In that instant, surging magical power surged within Li Xuan's weakened body!

During his normal cultivation, every wisp of magical power he generated would be immediately absorbed by the black hole within his body. But now, the black hole simply couldn't absorb the immense magical power belonging to Li Xuan!

The Bible Turns!

Li Xuan didn't know if the designers had planned what would happen if the character "Li Xuan" successfully cultivated, nor did he know if the world would not change accordingly because the game hadn't set it up. But at this moment, the instant he became a sorcerer, a talent called [Black Hole Source] was born!

At that moment, those dull, lifeless pupils burst forth with brilliant light, reflecting the brand-new information panel.

Li Xuan

Rank: 2-star Warlock

Life: 58

Magic Power: 72

Status: Obsidian Body - Your body is covered in obsidian fragments, which are affecting its normal functioning. In this state, your health is reduced by 20 points.

Talent ①: Mirror Flower Water Moon

Talent ②: Black Hole Source - Your sorcerer origin is a black hole, giving your magic a property called [Gravity].

[Spell Signs: Backstab, Insatiable Greed, Wave Burst, Blessing of Courage, The Price of Impulsiveness]

Chapter 12 The Reason for Curiosity, A Beautiful Love Story

As we all know, every inch of spacetime in this world is filled with unclaimed magical power.

People who have been immersed in magic for 18 years are like fish in the sea, birds in the sky, and chickens on the basketball court; they possess unique talents born from their environment.

The moment a sorcerer gathers their essence, their magical power strengthens every inch of their body, and their [talent] will emerge.

Li Xuan's "talent" is his origin as a sorcerer.

However, his "talent" faced a dilemma similar to that of middle schoolers in early romance, who passionately proclaim "Our love will never be abandoned," only to end up painfully breaking up under parental punishment and writing "I'll wait for you forever"—it came a little too early.

Most people benefit from showing their talent before becoming a mage, but for Li Xuan, it turned into a vicious cycle of "having to go to dungeons to farm for equipment, and needing equipment to go to dungeons".

When he broke the vicious cycle, the [black hole closure] actually transformed into one of the four fundamental forces that is potentially extremely powerful—gravity.

Explaining scientific principles in a high-martial-arts world is rather foolish, but the key is that the game's setting was created by overworked office workers in a low-martial-arts world, and it's also linked to what Li Xuan knows. This makes him have high expectations for [gravity] – after all, setting "high-end power attributes" for this game is one of the inevitable aspects.

It's often said that the protagonist's intelligence in a novel is equal to the author's. The thought that the strength of "Gravity" is now linked to the intelligence and mental state of those overworked office workers with dark circles under their eyes makes Li Xuan feel a pang of worry.

But that's something to worry about later. After lying in bed for two and a half years, he finally became a true sorcerer!

Saint Christine's continuous absorption of magical power for four days even made him a 2-star sorcerer at one point.

However, he still hadn't escaped his predicament.

His 58 points of [Life] will be reduced by 20 points due to [Obsidian Body]. He'll probably cry for a long time if he gets punched.

Although the large amount of obsidian fragments in his body could be a substantial source of start-up capital, they had not yet been expelled, which meant that even if he wanted to discuss a project worth hundreds of millions with that female college student, he could only let her make the decision herself.

"Yueyue, you're back?"

Suddenly, Li Xuan heard voices outside the door.

After becoming a sorcerer, his five senses were greatly amplified, and he could clearly hear the conversations outside the door without realizing it.

"Okay, Mom, have you raised the money yet? I've already used up my whitening essence for three days, and my skin feels much rougher. Recently, a little green watch has become very popular among my girlfriends, but I can only make up excuses by saying I don't like it. There's a piece of clothing that I've worn three times in the past month. If I don't buy the latest Chanel and Hermès soon, they'll all be able to tell I'm a fake socialite from my dry skin. Once I enter this circle, maybe I'll become Gu Qingchi's girlfriend in no time. I can't afford to slack off at all."

"Oh my, your dad just got some money. Take it quickly, it'll be here soon. Li Xuan is going to die soon, and then we'll take the obsidian fragments out of his body. That'll be enough to last you for a long time!"

"Can't we just kill him now? His Obsidian Shards are almost full, aren't they?"

"You didn't come back, so I didn't know. It's that damned new city lord who's putting on a show and taking pictures. He just had to come to our place. Every few days, people from the city lord's mansion come to offer their condolences. If Li Xuan had died under abnormal circumstances, they probably wouldn't mind adding a merit to the city lord's record."

The young female voice suddenly said, "If only we could take out the obsidian fragments earlier."

The obsidian fragments were pulled by the black hole's gravity. Even if a healer were brought in to forcibly remove the fragments, he would surely die. But what if he expelled them through his own means? His internal organs were unaffected by the black hole.

"Mom, I just heard that kidney stones can be urinated out."

The middle-aged woman's voice said, "But what he eats and drinks will be directly absorbed by the black hole, so he doesn't need to go to the toilet at all."

The young woman chuckled and said, "Isn't there another way?"

Which one?

“You can talk to him about projects worth hundreds of millions.”

"Yueyue, you are a genius!" the middle-aged woman exclaimed excitedly.

Despicable, utterly despicable.

Li Xuan's face darkened. So this was the reason for the "project worth hundreds of millions". He didn't remember much about this side quest, but he didn't expect it to be so bizarre and dark!

"If successful, then it can be regenerated. By removing the large amount of obsidian fragments accumulated in his body, he will not die, and then continue to produce fragments, endlessly." The young woman chuckled.

Jiang Yueyue, you're a truly wicked genius for coming up with this method! A perpetual motion machine has finally been invented!

If this really succeeds, Li Xuan will truly become the top sponsor for helping Jiang Yueyue hook up with a rich guy—poor Tom is being manipulated by a bad woman.

"What a vicious family!" A surge of anger ignited in Li Xuan's heart.

Rumor has it that a certain herb can suppress the "black hole closure". Li Xuan's parents have never given up searching for it for more than ten years. When they go out, they entrust Li Xuan to Li's father's neighbor and friend, namely Jiang Yueyue's family.

But a few years ago, his parents died in a car accident. He was bedridden and unable to get up. Everything was decided by Jiang Yueyue's family. The accident was entirely his parents' fault, and they didn't get a penny in compensation. They even had to sell the remaining valuables to pay the other party, but in reality, the other party was entirely at fault!

This family not only embezzled his parents' car accident compensation, but also revealed their true colors after his parents' death. They practically locked him in his room, only caring about him when he died, using the excuse of being busy making a living. They just waited for him to die so they could harvest more and more obsidian fragments from his body.

If it weren't for the Noxus City Lord's show, he might have been smothered to death with a pillow by this family not long ago, so they could take away the obsidian shards that were almost gone, because he was dying.

The original owner, Li Xuan, was completely unaware of the reason and even felt guilty for constantly causing trouble for Jiang Yueyue's family, until Jiang Yueyue offered him her leg.

“You’re still young, and this matter can’t be known to outsiders. So, should I sacrifice myself? You should keep your relationship with that rich second-generation heir. Don’t keep it to yourself,” said Li Meibai, Jiang Yueyue’s mother.

? ?

Li Xuan was shocked and furious. This was not what they had agreed on. It was as if he had become the top fan of the female streamer Jiang Yueyue, but in reality, behind the camera during her live streams every day was her mother with an AI-generated face that changed in real time!

That's truly devastating!

"Let me do it. I might become Gu Qingchi's girlfriend in a few days, so I need to practice a bit to look a little inexperienced," Jiang Yueyue giggled.

“But he’s so weak, what if he gets too excited and dies?” Li Meibai said worriedly. “The people from the City Lord’s Mansion would love for a little accident to happen during the visit to generate buzz and resonate with the public.”

"I have a [Sorcerer's Pearl] that Gu Qingchi gave me as a gift. It should keep him from dying. Of course, even if he dies, it doesn't matter. At most, when I'm on the news, I'll have to put on ugly makeup that no one will recognize me."

Childhood sweethearts, from impoverished families, relying on each other for survival, a pair of star-crossed lovers, in the purest form of intimacy between a man and a woman, she personally sent him on his way. Jiang Yueyue gently rested her chin on her hand, gazing at Li Meibai with her beautiful eyes:

"People only sing praises and lament that we have no beautiful love with material things and a future."

Chapter 13 Sorcerer's Orb, Illuminating Holy Light

"My parents were very tired, and we were so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat. It wasn't until I went to university that they were able to afford to buy me a new set of clothes."

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, simply tied at the ends and pulled up to her chest. Two pale pink blushes appeared on the girl's pure face, and her bright pupils were somewhat evasive.

Her arms, encased in the long sleeves of a white shirt, were interlaced with her fingers pressing against the front of her dark blue plaid mini-skirt. Beneath the skirt, two long legs in black stockings and brown leather shoes peeked out. Jiang Yueyue lowered her head slightly, speaking somewhat shyly:

"Hey, little brother A-Xuan, do you think it looks good?"

A hint of impatience flashed deep in her pupils, but since she was old enough to understand, Jiang Yueyue had always adhered to her own unique principle—to never let go of any opportunity that could transform her, and to never step into any possibility that could lead to her utter ruin, no matter how small the opportunity or possibility.

Take Li Xuan, for example. His "Black Hole Closure" is a terminal illness that even the city lord would shake his head at.

But Jiang Yueyue still felt that Li Xuan might suddenly unleash his full potential under some special stimulus, such as when his parents died, when he was in despair, or when he tasted forbidden fruit for the first time.

As long as Li Xuan has a chance to unleash his full potential, even if the chance is very slim, Jiang Yueyue wouldn't mind having her parents put on a show when Li Xuan's parents died. Even when they were ignoring him, they would still find an excuse to make excuses. During this experiment, they would show such a submissive appearance so that she would gain Li Xuan's goodwill rather than malice after his power surges. After all, she would suffer no loss.

It was precisely because of this innate caution that she awakened the sorcerer talent known as the "Impersonator," allowing her to thrive in high society circles without arousing suspicion from anyone. Today, she even received a gift from Gu Qingchi, the youngest son of a senior executive at the "Heavenly God Group"—a precious "Sorcerer's Pearl."

By simply maintaining that air of mystery with the "Impersonator" persona, she could immediately use Gu Qingchi to enter a higher-level circle, thereby accumulating important resources on her path to becoming a sorcerer. Once the other party got tired of her, she could peacefully break up with him—she was quite certain that a rich second-generation like Gu Qingchi wouldn't hang herself on one tree, even if he seemed very outstanding.

"It looks so good, congratulations, Sister Yueyue." The man on the bed spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyelids drooping weakly, as if he were almost dead.

"Brother Xuan, are you alright? I have a magician's bead here, it will definitely make you better!" Jiang Yueyue's eyes immediately reddened, and she quickly walked towards Li Xuan.

What annoyed Jiang Yueyue was that she wondered why she hadn't known sooner that "kidney stones can be urinated out."

If I had known earlier, Li Xuan wouldn't be so weak, and I wouldn't have needed to give him the precious [Sorcerer's Orb] to save his life.

If it wasn't necessary, Jiang Yueyue really didn't want to accept an interview from the City Lord's Mansion. After all, no matter how heavy her makeup was, she could still be recognized, which violated her principle of avoiding any possibility that could lead to her utter ruin.
