Mages, Adventurers, and Women

"Oh."

"Li Wei, you're just a lowly commoner from Rolling Stone Town. Do you know you should kneel before me?!"

"I'll definitely do it next time."

“Li Wei…”

Li Wei interrupted Daphne's hysterical outburst, saying indifferently:

"I'll count to five and immediately open the door. I bet there will be a crowd of onlookers outside."

"If you want to be featured on the front page of the sixth edition of the Golden City Weekly Race News, and for your King father, Princess Sylvie, and the nobles of Golden City to know that the domineering and arrogant Princess Daphne was being wantonly played with by an adventurer from Rolling Stone Town at the Veil Beauty Inn, then you may stay."

"Two seconds left."

Daphne's beautiful, delicate face was frosty; she was furious and spoke in a resolute tone:

"Li Wei, remember this!"

"These are the only two times we've ever done this!"

"You'll never have a third chance with me—given your current attitude, I wouldn't mind killing you!"

"one."

Li Wei used his mage's hand to turn the doorknob, and Daphne jumped out of the window without looking back. She stepped onto Li Wei's mage's hand and went down. The veiled beauty considered the current situation and found that the back wall was next to an empty and deserted path.

……

The lock turned, and the door opened.

Outside the door, Melanie's face was cold, and the occasional panting of the onlookers could be heard around her.

The corridor was covered with blackened "Rosman Tree" flooring, which was covered with the pelt of a Tier 1 Silver Dragon-level magical beast, "Bern Bear." Stepping on it was soft and sound-absorbing. The wall panels were made of "Moonlight Tree," and swirling elemental light points overflowed from the wall panels, seeping into the arcane characters and phrases engraved on the walls and ceiling, continuously energizing them.

The corridor of the VIP room is hung with frames the size of "Vello" paintings, which together form a complete painting from beginning to end - "One Hundred Women Meeting the King".

Legend has it that after King Lionheart established the Lionheart Kingdom, he summoned hundreds of women from the noble families of the previous dynasty for him to choose from as his concubines. Such erotic scenes were carefully recorded by the court painters of the time, and the nude women in each painting were depicted with lifelike expressions.

Because the Golden Kingdom had sealed off everything about the Lionheart Kingdom, the figure of the "Lionheart King" in the center of the painting was removed, leaving only hundreds of naked, noble girls in different poses and with different expressions behind an extremely long table laden with a dazzling array of delicacies.

The noble girls turned to the side, rested their chins on their hands, or crossed their legs... looking towards the spot where the Lionheart King had disappeared.

boom--

Melanie slammed the door shut, shutting out the chatter of the travelers and the women in the painting.

Extreme light elements swirled around her, and she floated into Li Wei's room without touching the ground.

The tip of the nose twitches, and the enchanting imagery of the past enters the nasal cavity.

He said indifferently:

"I need an explanation."

Li Wei said calmly:

"I've earned a lot of gold coins recently, so I came here to book a room and enjoy myself."

How about this explanation?

Melanie, her loose priest's robes billowing like spiderwebs, her chest heaving, paced closer, standing at the edge of the bed. Light elements gathered around her, threatening to overwhelm her, and she said:

"No, I need an explanation for why you've been in the Golden City for over ten days but haven't come to see me."

Li Wei lifted the blanket.

It bears the remnants of what was left by those who came before.

He extended an invitation:

"I'm better at explaining with my body than with my words."

"President Melanie, it's been a long time! Shall we meet while it's still fresh?"

Melanie scoffed, "You're still as shameless as you were in Rolling Stones. I thought you'd be more restrained in Golden City, but I guess I was wrong."

When Levi meets Melanie again, his strength and status have changed drastically since their first time together in Rolling Stone.

After the Adventurers' Guild event, Julia's party will depart from Golden City for Sky Island. He knows he and Melanie will be separated by vast distances and unlikely to meet again. Observing that Melanie is only feigning anger and doesn't actually intend to fight, he thought to himself, and boldly declared:

"President Melanie, we've only slept together a few times, you don't know me well enough."

"I will never change myself because of my environment."

"Only the environment changes because of me."

Melanie snorted coldly.

She floated onto the bed, lightly tapped her finger, and light elements surged forth, tracing across Li Wei's body, removing any unwanted residue. Looking down at Li Wei, she said:

"I hope you'll be as stubborn as your mouth later."

Li Wei beckoned to him and said, "I will definitely not let you down."

……

"Hold on, hold on, let me catch my breath, Chairman!"

Which is bigger?

“You, Melanie.”

[Rationality +0.05%]

……

Another thrilling battle has come to an end.

Levi and Melanie were completely open with each other.

Melanie is 39 years old this year, and has the skin of a young girl, which is fair and very elastic.

Age has given her voluptuous figure a unique charm that is unforgettable.

Li Wei thought to himself, only professionals could maintain such a... such a long-lasting and pleasant physical condition!

"Do you know why I've rejected countless suitors over the years, and why I was still willing to sleep with you even though I knew you had other lovers and wouldn't take responsibility for me?"

Melanie pressed down on Levi's arm, turned to hug Levi's waist and abdomen, brushed past Levi's chest, and looked at the mirror on the wooden cabinet. Her bright eyes, slightly sad and troubled, were reflected in the mirror.

Another heart-to-heart talk?

First it was Elda, then Samantha yesterday, and now Melanie is here.

Why did Li Wei feel that after arriving in the Golden City, each of his lovers was more and more sorrowful?

Melanie is not Samantha; Samantha is both a lover and a friend.

Livy had so many lovers, but Julia only accepted Samantha as a friend... and the fairy Olissa.

Li Wei wanted to pull his arm away, but Melanie pressed her long, flowing hair down forcefully, stopping him. Li Wei turned slightly to the side, rubbing his arm, and said:

"Are you an orphan too?"

Melanie rolled her eyes at Levi and said:

"Do not."

“I have seen your arcane talent and heard about your mage talent. In my life, I will never give myself to another. If I had to choose someone to give my body to, I would choose you. I will not regret it.”

"Perhaps ten years, perhaps a hundred years, whether I live or die, I will hear in your autobiography or the songs of a bard about your growth that you became a legend, that there was a priest named Melanie in your past adventures on the Golden Island."

"It also helps me realize my vision beyond the third tier."

Li Wei understood the underlying meaning in Melanie's words and comforted her:

"If you want to talk about family or have something on your mind, I will be your best listener."

Melanie gave a disdainful smile, mocking the word "family," and said:

"When I was thirteen, my mother wanted to send me to the baron's house in town to be his daughter's maid for life."

“I escaped and was fortunate enough to meet a kind old priest. She possessed the purity and generosity of the light element. I followed Teacher Vanessa away from the Storm Duchy, gradually improving and becoming stronger, with my identity constantly changing—until I reached the second rank, when my mother learned of my whereabouts. She brought dozens of relatives to find me, demanding that I support them.”

"That time, I ran away again."

“I went to Rolling Stone and stayed there until the incident happened.”

Li Wei asked curiously, "Did your mother come to Golden City to see you again?"

Melanie shook her head: "She wrote to the pastors' association and asked someone to tell me that she was on her way to the Golden City with her relatives—from childhood to adulthood, I have never felt her love for me. In her eyes, I have always been a tool to change the family, and she has tried every means to sell me and turn me into a bargaining chip for the family's improvement."

Upright officials can hardly break housework.

Li Wei comforted him, "So, you plan to continue your escape?"

Melanie rolled over and said:

“Vanessa has been gone for many years, and I have had no friends all these years. If I had to say, you are my only special friend.”

"I am about to leave the Golden City, and after much thought, I can only say goodbye to you."

"Li Wei, I don't want to face her."

"The Pastors' Association had a number of spots for further studies abroad, and I secured one. This time, leaving Golden Island might mean never coming back. You and I... Li Wei, will you forget me?"

Li Wei said frankly, "Someone as old as you, I will remember for the rest of my life."

Melanie's sudden smile was like a sunflower blooming in spring, bright and dazzling, or like a flower bud slowly opening, pink and white.

……

Work until the afternoon.

Melanie left.

She didn't say where she was going, nor did she ask Li Wei to come with her.

He has come to see Li Wei now only to "bid farewell".

Push open the door.

Walking in the corridor.

The air was filled with the mocking imagery of the nude woman in the painting.

"Hey! That wanton woman must have had her fun with that dark-haired, dark-eyed kid!"

"Absolutely! Look at her rosy complexion. A priest, and she's actually sleeping with a necromancer! Bah!"

"Heh, you slut."

……

Melanie, annoyed by the noise from the women in the paintings in the corridor, snapped, "Shut up!"

I don't know what's wrong with her.

From the moment I arrived at the door of the woman in the painting and knocked, the mocking voices of the women in the painting echoed in my ears.

These lowly sluts who willingly offered themselves up to King Lionheart, how dare they speak ill of her?!

……

Samantha and Melanie's farewells served as a wake-up call for Levi.

Once he leaves Golden Island, the pile of gold vouchers in his storage ring will become worthless.

Over the past two days, Li Wei has been wandering through the shops in Golden City where gold vouchers can be exchanged for gold coins. Each of the eighteen storage rings he wears has a large amount of gold coins piled up.

He once suggested buying Samantha a manor in the mage district, where ordinary people could afford to buy things, but Samantha refused, saying that she preferred to live in the adventurers' guild district.

Li Wei also wanted to teach her secret martial arts; as long as Samantha was willing to practice, reaching the third level wouldn't be a problem.

Samantha rejected him again. She hated everything related to professionals and only loved dealing with the trivial matters of the Adventurers' Guild.

At this point, Li Wei stopped trying to persuade him.

Time flies by.

With his departure from the City of Gold imminent, Li Wei also had a ton of trivial matters to attend to.

In the morning, he went to the library of the mage academy to read for three hours, looking for more possibilities of the "lightning strike" spell.

During a short break at noon, Daphne and I improved our relationship from "only twice" to "only five times".

In the afternoon, I went to the Mage Association to find a way to instantly restore magic and elemental power after using lightning strikes.
