Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Page 84

Li Wei pulled Yulia up from the ground and ran deeper into the cave.

Julia said cautiously:

"Li Wei, if you dare to force me to sleep with you here, I will definitely kill you."

"I'm only interested in women who willingly climb into my bed," Li Wei teased, in a good mood after confirming that his summoning to the secret world was man-made. "I don't have a penchant for forcing women."

Return to the dark, magical stone tablet.

Because it was deconstructed by Li Wei, it has long since turned into dust.

The remaining weeds, each imbued with a trace of magic, testify to the presence of a dark, magical stone tablet once stood here.

Li Wei took out "Velo," a bunch of miscellaneous books, and a horn-shaped pot of water. He tore off pages from the miscellaneous books and used the water to paint on Vero.

[Rationality +0.01%]

The constant appearance of the word "Rationality" as a prompt indicates that the summoning of the secret world has entered its true countdown.

He tossed several miscellaneous books to Julia and called out, "Come and help."

Yulia subconsciously opened the book titled "Illustrated Guide to Dancers in the White Tower Region of the Northern Continent." A quick glance at it made her blush as red as the evening glow. The illustrations depicted alluring dancers who were completely naked, striking suggestive and obscene poses.

She said indignantly, "Li Wei, do you have any shame?! Is this all you do all day? I thought you were always reading books and doing academic research."

“If you look at things with a vulgar eye, all you’ll see is vulgarity,” Li Wei retorted.

“I’m vulgar? Fine, then tell me, what kind of eyes did you use to look at it?” Julia questioned as she pasted pages onto the “Velo” illustration.

"nonsense."

"I've already looked at catalogs of nude dancers, how noble can my taste be?"

Li Wei said nonchalantly.

Yulia was so angry at Levi that she choked and gritted her teeth, saying, "How dare you call me vulgar? Aren't you vulgar?!"

……

Li Wei pushed the heavily covered, airtight painting of Willow to Julia. The summons to the Secret World immediately descended, and his mood at this moment was completely different from before.

Previously, he was feigning ease while maintaining a tense expression.

Now, the mystery has been unveiled and clarity has emerged.

He earnestly instructed:

“Follow this road, there is a path leading out of the mine. If you encounter any problems you cannot solve while I am away, escape from here and run all the way back to Rolling Stone Town.”

"Don't show the painting to anyone, and don't lose it."

"Believe me, I will definitely come back."

Yulia was startled, then immediately understood what was happening. She grabbed Levi's arm, her body trembling silently.

"Yulia, don't cry. How many of the things I just told you did you remember?"

With tears welling in her eyes, Julia gripped Levi's arm, hugged the "Willow" painting, and whispered:

"The painting must not be lost."

Li Wei nodded in satisfaction, then patted Julia's bottom one last time and said:

"very good."

"That's enough."

The source of magic stone in his palm vanished in a flash.

[Rationality Lv0 → Rationality Lv1]

[Rationality Lv1: 0.01%]

Always maintain the rationality of a Dharma master, and do not be confused by ignorance.

In the dimly lit mine, only Yulia remained.

Like a puppy abandoned by its owner, she clutched the "Vello" painting that Li Wei had given her, her expression incredibly resolute, murmuring:

"The painting will definitely not be lost."

……

Visiting the secret world in person and entering it spiritually are two different experiences.

All physical characteristics have disappeared here.

Hunger, illness, breathing...

"No wonder Yulia was trapped in the secret world for so long and never mentioned eating, drinking, or defecating."

“Unlike me, her rationality ensures that I won’t be subtly assimilated by the secret world. I can perceive many differences in the secret world. In Yulia’s view, subconsciously, she believes that not eating or drinking is common sense in the secret world…”

Li Wei is waiting for someone to appear.

He believed that the person was watching him from the shadows.

The other party went to great lengths to drag him into the secret world, certainly not to hide in the shadows and spy on him.

Contrary to the apparent disappearance of his physical characteristics, Livy perceived a great deal of pressure in his "spirit".

Unknown factors repeatedly tried to evoke his fear of the secret world, but each attempt was suppressed by Li Wei's "rationality."

squeak--

In the vast, dark, and mysterious world, a bright spot suddenly appeared, accompanied by the sound of an old wooden door opening, which shouldn't have been there. The bright spot grew closer and clearer until it stopped a meter in front of Li Wei.

A beautiful woman stood behind the door.

Her apricot-colored curly hair cascaded down to her collarbones, and she wore a long blue and white dress that revealed more than half of her breasts. She spoke with unusual excitement:

"Li Wei! What are you doing here!"

Li Wei looked at the woman behind the door and said calmly:

"Willow".

"I have been waiting for you."

Willow, who was initially excited, froze, her sky-blue eyes narrowing as she realized that Levi was about to deviate from the script she had set.

Willow dropped her affected performance, her expression becoming solemn, and confirmed:

"Were you waiting for me?"

Li Wei walked towards her, his feet treading as if on flat ground, and entered the house, closing the door behind him.

In the luxuriously decorated study of over 100 square meters, there are three bookshelves against the wall, filled with books collected by Willow, most of which gleam with a faint light and are "treasures of knowledge".

The room was filled with the aroma of books, and an oval rug was laid on the floor, embroidered with a seven-tiered pagoda.

Li Wei looked around, pulled out a solid wood chair from the corner, placed it on the carpet, sat down, and said to the solemn Willow by the door:

"There are only two ways for professionals to enter the secret world."

"One is being abruptly summoned to a secret world. I have a friend who was summoned into a secret world without any warning."

"Secondly, I study esoteric languages or esoteric breathing techniques. I admit that I have a great talent for esoteric languages, but I still have a long way to go before I can enter the esoteric world."

"I don't have either of the two ways to enter the secret world—after thinking it over, only you have the ability to pull me into the secret world."

"You are a genius from the White Tower region. After failing to become a legend in the Secret World, you are now trapped here."

"I had no concept of legend before, until someone told me that being above level 3 is the first step to becoming a legend."

"You woman, you may have big breasts, but you're not brainless."

"You dare to covet the legendary in the secret world, so you must be confident enough. You are very confident in your strength and your mage background."

"Perhaps you are countless times more powerful than any other magic-based professional I have ever seen."

"I don't know why you failed, but I'd say you deserved it."

"Once I was certain that I wasn't summoned to the Secret World or entered it for my own reasons, looking back at the people around me, the only one capable of pulling me into the Secret World was you—Velo, a noblewoman, a magic genius, and royalty from the White Tower region!"

Willow remained unmoved by Li Wei's earlier analysis until he finally revealed her identity. At that moment, her expression changed slightly. She walked over to Li Wei, plopped down in his lap, and while they appeared to be cuddling, her face remained icy as she said:

How did you know who I am?

Li Wei said calmly, “The book ‘Appreciation of Noble Attire in the White Tower Region’ says that in the White Tower Region, for every additional layer of noble status, there will be an additional layer of wrinkles on the cuffs.”

He pulled up Willow's blue and white silk cuffs, which were sewn with three overlapping pleats: the first embroidered with a raised pattern of "power," the second with a "staff," and the third with a "crown."

"The power represents the nobility, the staff represents legal geniuses, and the crown represents royalty."

Willow stroked Levi's cheek and said softly:

"When did you realize that you entered the secret world because of me?"

Instead of answering Willow's question, Li Wei asked in return:

"I think your initial plan was to appear as a savior, rescue me from the dark and mysterious world, and use the 'debt of saving my life' and the methods you prepared afterward... such as using your body as a bargaining chip to guide me to do something, right?"

"This matter is related to your leaving the secret world, right?"

Willow sneered and said, "Wrong, my body is not a bargaining chip, I did it voluntarily."

scoff-

She tore open Li Wei's mage robe, and her blue and white dress slipped to the ground.

A beautiful atmosphere unfolds in the study depicted in the painting.

……

"Li Wei, aren't you afraid I'll kill you for being so rude to me?"

"Life is eternal in the secret world. Only when reason is swallowed up by the secret world will one become an object like your future."

[Rationality +0.05%]

……

“Li Wei, you’re smarter than I thought. I don’t know how you found out all this, but I’m telling you, I never intended to hurt you from the beginning.”

"Bend up higher."

……

“Li Wei…”

"Shut up!"

Chapter 68: Born a Legend [4400-word long chapter]

Willow's long apricot hair fell to her collarbone.

She was panting, her eyes filled with seductive allure.

The experience of seeing something through a painting is completely different from seeing it face-to-face.

Nestled in Li Wei's arms, Willow said softly:
