”I heard that people from the city have weak stamina, who will complain and ask for a rest after walking a few miles. I didn't expect you all to be in such good shape, I'm already panting heavily, but none of you seems tired at all, not even a drop of sweat!” Liu Meng was utterly impressed.
Even the gorgeous girls in the group were still breathing normally, let alone the others. He did not understand why the villagers always mentioned that the urbanites were pampered. Everyone in the group had better stamina than him!
”Have you heard of Magicians?” Jiang Shaoxu was quite the stubborn one. It was obvious that she wanted to fully seduce the young man. As such, she was more than willing to talk to him and tease him.
”Magicians, of course, someone from our village managed to get enrolled in a magic high school. You couldn't possibly imagine it, the decorations and the lights, he even married the prettiest girl Lanhua in the village. My uncle also told me that if I become a Magician, I can basically marry any girl in the village that I'm fond of,” Liu Meng spoke up excitedly. It was clear that he highly admired Magicians.
”The girl Lanhua you mentioned, was she as pretty as me?” Jiang Shaoxu twisted her lips in a seductive manner.
Liu Meng had never talked to a woman with such beautiful hair at such a close distance. His tanned skin blushed slightly as he said softly, ”Not… not even close.”
”So I'm less pretty?” Jiang Shaoxu went closer and asked despite already knowing the answer.
”She...she's not as pretty as you,” replied Liu Meng with a slight stammer.
”Liu Meng, let me ask you, if I'm a Magician, a very powerful Magician, does that mean I can choose whichever man I like in the village?” Jiang Shaoxu continued to tease the naive young man.
”I think...” Liu Meng had no idea how to answer the question.
While Liu Meng was lost in his thoughts, Jiang Shaoxu's giggled like a vixen. Liu Meng was so nervous that he insisted not to raise his head, yet he had a strong urge to take a few peeks...

”What was the saying again... even the Saintess is no match for an otaku. This Liu Meng is done for, too young, too naive,” exclaimed Zhao Manyan beside Mo Fan.
{TL Note: Apparently it's a reference to the anime Fate/Apocrypha, but I never watched it.}
Mo Fan nodded.
It was as Zhao Manyan had described. At the start, Liu Meng only dared to peek at Mu Ningxue secretly, but as Jiang Shaoxu kept teasing him, his lines of defense quickly collapsed. He would soon submit to the vixen and kneel before her tail.

Traveling a distance of around thirty kilometers by foot actually took some time.
Liu Meng had no idea that the group consisted of strong Magicians. Even their footsteps were enchanted with the Magic of various Elements, thus their pace was a lot faster than ordinary people.
Liu Meng was already running out of breath. However, Ai Jiangtu still felt like they were wasting too much time walking.
Unfortunately, they needed Liu Meng to lead the way. Otherwise, they would have left him behind long ago.
The group finally saw the bay that the old fisherman mentioned after spending half a day walking.
The bay was stunning. The only downside was the land was covered in weeds, as it was not properly taken care of.
They could see a few buildings as they went deeper inland. Most of them were tall structures curving around the bay, which perfectly showcasing the suites with a scenic view that the real estate agents liked to describe...
