You are all my wings!

"I'm a person of high standards. Don't lower my standards like this and make your first time so cheap. Even if your first time has so many powerful effects, I don't like it when you give it to me in this way. Moreover, I can't accept that you leave after giving me your first time and never see me again. My dear disciple, you should give me some other gift as a token of your gratitude."

[Villain Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability +3%, current favorability 78%]

Bai Shaqilai was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry, I did misunderstand you before. I didn't expect you to be so noble."

"Noble? My dear disciple, it seems you've got it wrong. I'm just a womanizer, I fall in love with every girl I see."

Lyon laughed.

“You don’t fall in love with every girl you meet; you have your own principles, I understand.”

Bai Shaqilai shook her head, still pinning Leon down, and said:

"So what other gift would you like as a token of your gratitude?"

"Then let's use legendary-grade spellcasting materials. Aren't you looking for time-based treasures? Even if you can advance now, you probably don't want to use only the original upgrade materials, right? How about giving me that material you were originally planning to use to upgrade to the second legendary level?"

"Aren't you worried about your magic overload syndrome?"

“I’m worried, very worried, but so many years have passed, a few more days won’t make a difference. Besides, I still think you’re willing to do it with me, my good disciple.”

Leon casually patted her smooth buttocks.

Not bad, bouncy and chewy.

Bai Shaqilai spat, "You wish! Since you've refused this time, you can forget about taking my virginity from me for the rest of your life."

She stood up, and Lyon had a clear view of her crotch.

“My dear disciple, that’s what you say, but this pose is very tempting.”

Bai Shaqilai quickly brought her legs together.

Bai Shaqilai glared at him and went to find her fanny pack that had been knocked off. This thing had a higher level of protection and already had the characteristic of compressing space. It was a storage item that only legendary-level players had a chance to obtain, and its function was sometimes even stronger than a secret treasure.

After fiddling around for a while, she tossed a palm-sized tortoise shell to Leon.

Lyon took it. The surface of the tortoise shell looked smooth, but it was actually rough to the touch, very prickly, and covered with mysterious patterns.

"A legendary water-type turtle monster?"

This size is normal; the core spellcasting organs of monsters are generally not large.

Turtle-type monsters, regardless of their element, are generally recognized as suitable materials for advancing in divination skills.

"That's right, and it's a powerful monster carrying a sea turtle. I spent a long time planning to hunt it, so you got it for free."

Bai Shaqilai snorted, took out a change of clothes from her waist bag, and tucked her straight legs into another pink short skirt.

Normally, powerful level 7 monsters cannot be hunted unless they are epic-level.

However, she is a dual-class user, and both of them are rare classes. Her fighting style is quite unique, and she is also good at planning, which allows her to hunt powerful seventh-tier monsters.

If she hadn't been subjected to mind control and demonic corruption, she could have held her own against Helvie for quite some time, and was far stronger than another legendary figure at the peak, Moretes.

“Very good, I have received your gift of thanks, my good disciple. In that case, I will give you a gift in return.”

Lyon smiled slightly:

"While you were unconscious, I took the time to perform a divination. This divine ruin contains many treasures, including two time-related ones. Let's go, now that our strength has been restored, let's explore it."

Bai Shaqilai nodded slightly: "Okay, the good stuff we find will be distributed according to our contributions."

She has now cleared all negative buffs, her strength has returned to its peak, and she has the confidence to withstand the suppression of divine power.

"Oh, by the way, you tore my clothes, and my fanny pack is with Helvie. Do you have any unisex clothes for me?"

Lyon stood up, his strong and agile body particularly eye-catching.

Bai Shaqilai's eyes widened. She realized that besides his mysterious and profound appearance and temperament, Leon's figure was also superb. His body was slender and well-proportioned, like a work of art, with clean and powerful muscle lines. His fair skin seemed to reflect a dreamlike light, which perfectly matched her sex appeal.

She inadvertently imagined what it would be like if he had just chosen to accept her first time, and couldn't help but rub her legs together.

Ok?

She snapped out of her daze, her heart pounding with shame, fearing that Leon would discover something was wrong with her.

She coughed lightly, took a few steps back, and changed the subject:

"Yes, there are, but the color scheme doesn't quite suit you."

"It's alright, no one will see anyway, and wearing your clothes makes me feel like I'm one with you, my good disciple."

Lyon smiled and began to tease him.

Bai Shaqilai felt a chill run down her spine. This guy had already rejected me, yet he was still trying to seduce me!

We must find a chance to teach him a lesson!

However, we still need to solve his clothing problem.

"Wait a minute, I'll sew you a set right now! Don't wander around like that! Aren't you ashamed?!"

The thought of Leon wearing her clothes made her even more anxious, so she decided to sew a set for him by hand.

……

At the same time.

Iris and her companions, together with Britta and Moripert, quickly arrived at the vicinity of the sacred mural under the guidance of this epic expert.

Everyone else was present, except for Camille, who was held back by Prince Sambor.

The arrival of the group also shocked the staff stationed at the sacred mural, who hurriedly bowed to the appearing Moripe.

After a series of questions and answers, when the Ninth Saintess mentioned Ophimaso, Machiru immediately said:

"They must have been here! The princess was kidnapped with me!"

Mouripe glanced around for a moment and said:

"Helvies's aura is very strong, and she hardly tries to hide it. I'll go first, and you can follow her yourselves."

With her abilities, she naturally doesn't need to carry these burdens.

As soon as she finished speaking, she rose into the air in a gorgeous colorful brocade dress, transforming into a colorful shooting star, and suddenly streaked towards another corner of the dark dome, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Britta and the others used various methods to catch up, some flying, some flashing, each with amazing skills.

The Eighth Saintess, Jiajiali, and the Ninth Saintess, Cynthia, exchanged glances. The former said:

"Not only Britta, but even Her Majesty the Great Saintess has come. It seems that things are very serious."

Cynthia said thoughtfully, "I wonder if it's related to our missing strategist, Britta."

"It's possible. It's said that the strategist is also the second princess's fiancé! Everything makes sense!"

……

At the same time, in another location of the divine ruins, there were no lush forests, no lakes, no dreamlike scenery, and the landscape was completely different from that of Lyon-Bai Saqilai. It was an ancient city ruin.

On the broken bluestone pavement, a man and a monster were locked in combat, making muffled thuds.

Ophimosa unleashed his power with his fists and feet, punching the monster in front of him and then slashing out with his palm in a knife-like shape.

boom!!!!!

A surge of sword light flashed, slicing through the dome and tearing open the bird-shaped behemoth in front.

With a thud, the monster's corpse fell to the ground on either side. The cuts were smooth, with no blood, only a sticky, translucent gelatinous substance, like a fruit platter magnified hundreds or thousands of times.

"Huh, huh."

Ophimosa was slightly out of breath. Her current state was very strange. Her body had been stimulated by her second personality and she had gained a peak legendary physique. Her own rationality had been partially taken over by her second personality, but this time her true self had remained in a good state and had not been directly replaced.

Of course, she knew that doing this would continuously drain her body and even shorten her lifespan, but in order to find Leon, she couldn't care less about that.

She stepped forward, reached inside the bird-like creature, and after a moment of searching, found a walnut-shaped object.

"It's actually a fragment of a secret treasure! No wonder this giant bird is so powerful, stronger than a sixth-tier expert, but slightly weaker than a legendary one... Wait, if I can collect these fragments, wouldn't I be able to use legendary materials to advance my rank? My physique is currently at its peak, so perhaps I can use legendary materials to advance to the sixth tier and refine my poems with divine power! At that time, I will have a better chance of winning when I face Helvie!"

She made up her mind and took action.

……

Another corner of the divine ruins.

A place that was pitch black, dark, and devoid of any light, like an abyss.

Herwiz, dressed in a long, jet-black gown, stood gracefully in the air, slowly ascending upwards.

Every time she flew a short distance, a monster puppet with peak legendary strength would charge at her, but she suppressed it with mental pressure and easily dodged it.

"These divine relics are very strange."

BOOM!!!

With a single palm strike, she pierced through another approaching monster and found a fragment of a secret treasure that resembled a kiwi fruit.

"Are all the puppets powered by fragments of secret treasures? Interesting."

She had already vaguely sensed Leon's magical mark, so even though she was in this endless abyss and had been flying for so long without ever leaving it, she was not flustered at all.

Soon, we'll find Lyon.

……

Lyon and Baisaqilai continued along the edge of the lake, carefully staying away from the edge of the woods, where they were safe for the time being.

This path was confirmed by the two of them through divination, and it was the direction that would allow them to safely reach the location of the secret treasure.

Coincidentally, the results of their divinations were surprisingly consistent this time.

However, Lyon's divination is more straightforward, while Baisaqilai's divination results are richer in details and contain more information. Combining the two complements each other perfectly.

Although their strength was suppressed after leaving the area around the boulder, they still retained a considerable amount of it.

Because Leon found the connection to extract divine energy from Divine Might, the burden he needed to bear was lower, thus he still had about 10 points of magic power available to draw upon.

Bai Shaqilai no longer felt dizzy after standing for a while; she was in good condition and likely had plenty of magic power left.

Sure enough, her previous dizziness was the effect of the demon.

He's a legend, after all. Even if his mental strength hasn't awakened yet, his physical attributes are far superior to Leon's. It's impossible for him to be in such a worse state than Leon after entering this place.

However, there's one more thing about Lyon that needs to be complained about.

"I say, you're supposed to be a cat-woman princess known for your agility and dexterity, so why are the clothes you sew so inconvenient for movement?"

Beside her, Bai Shaqilai blushed:

"Enough with the nonsense. I'm a spellcaster, not someone who specializes in physical cultivation. I'm already being generous by sewing you a set of clothes to cover your ugly body."

"An ugly body? I feel like you kept glancing over here while you were sewing."

Lyon laughed:

"So you think it's ugly? That's why you want to cut it off? My good disciple, in our hometown this is called betraying one's master and ancestors, a very serious crime."

Lyon doesn't hesitate to make jokes like this with someone as serious as Bai Shaqilai.

The more someone hates something, the more they can like it; the reversal can sometimes happen in an instant.

Bai Shaqilai's pink ear tips twitched slightly, and she snorted coldly:

"What apprentice? I merely acknowledge your greatness in the path of astrology! As for ugliness, yes, I want to cut it off! Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied. So what you said you could accept before was such a hideous thing."

"I……"

Bai Shaqilai remembered that when she pushed Lyon down, she did say that she could accept him.

"I meant accepting you, not that ugly...hideous thing!"

“That’s a part of me. Why do you accept me but find it ugly? I understand now, my dear disciple. No wonder you wanted to leave me after giving me your virginity…”

"No, it's not like that, I just feel it shouldn't have sunk..."

Bai Shaqilai quickly explained that her so-called departure was simply because she was worried that she would become too engrossed in it, which would prevent the great cause of rebuilding the Cat People Kingdom from being completed.

But she froze as soon as she said it. Why would I want to explain this to him?

This was something she had decided to do alone, and she had already decided to leave Lyon completely after leaving the mysterious ruins and never bother him again.

But why did she feel a mix of disappointment and joy after he rejected her?
