583 I Feel Like Isll Definitely Die (1/2)
”Senior Brother, are you looking for me?”
Not long after Wang Lu issued his order, a charming young girl came in to the chamber with curiosity.
”What kind of place is this, Senior Brother? It feels so strange… Aren't we supposed to be in Moon Capital?”
Wang Lu sighed. ”It's a long story, come and sit first. Oh, by the way, I have some cakes for you.”
”Mm!” Liu Li nodded hard, took the cake, smiled innocently, and then swallowed half a box of cakes in one bite with an ahm~ sound.
In front of Wang Lu, Liu Li had always been very relaxed and casual. Her manner of eating that had been corrected by Zhou Ming many times was also reverted back to the old ways. The cake crumbs stained the girl's face, and Wang Lu looked at her with interest from the side.
If this child's problem could be solved in this way, that would be the best.
However, even after Liu Li ate a full box of cakes, the expected ruby did not come out.
Wang Lu touched his chin and was lost in thought.
It seemed that it was not that easy to increase happiness… From the satisfaction point of view, the satisfaction of Liu Li after eating a box imperial kitchen level cakes should be similar with that of Wang Wu who got a mysterious sky crystal—Liu Li was always an easily satisfied child.
The difference between the two probably lied in the… emotional difference.
Now that he thought about it, just now, what truly made the ruby to appear was perhaps not because of the mysterious sky crystal, but when the mysterious sky crystal was exchanged hand, their fingers and palms slightly touched. At that time, there were indeed a few ripples in the heart.
Previously, when he said those sweet nothings to her, no matter how uncomfortable it was, no matter how in pain Wang Wu was when she heard it so much that she would rather die… but ultimately, that was not a lie, at least not entirely.
Whenever he thought about that time travel dream, thinking of that awkward, clumsy, but persistent and pitiable girl, Wang Lu always felt that there was something in his heart, and the weight became heavy.
He did not inherit the whole memory of Ouyang Shang, but there were some relationships that survived even after crossing through three worlds.
However, compared to Wang Wu, in front of Liu Li, Wang Lu found it hard to generate romantic feelings for her. Of course, she had big boobs, long legs, and beautiful face, but Wang Lu, after all, was not an orangutan in heat that seeing such a beauty he would not be able to hold back his impulse… Secondly, although the time he spent together with Liu Li had been very long, and their familiarity with each other was far better than that of other disciples, it was precisely because of the time they spent together had been too long that the pattern of their relationship had been largely fixed and thus difficult to make a qualitative change.
Moreover, deep down, Wang Lu did not want to push any change in the relationship between the them. The mode of getting along as brother and sister was just the right balance that any steps taken forward or backward would be awkward.
However, now was not the time to care about the relationship between the two… Since even the royal kitchen style cakes could not be exchanged for a ruby for Liu Li, it was obvious that using trick was not that good. Then...
Did he really need to play it for real? But… in the face of such a child, could he have the heart to make his move?
Wang Lu frowned and looked at Liu Li, his head aching.
”Senior Brother, what's wrong?” Liu Li curiously turned her head.
”It's okay, I'm just preparing the emotions.”
”Huh?”
As soon as Liu Liu's face rose up, the girl noticed an extra person right in front of her, and then there was another pair of powerful arms on her body.
In consternation, she had been hugged by Wang Lu.
”S-Senior Brother?” Liu Li's eyes were opened wide as her body helplessly froze. Her voice was trembling as she said, ”D-Did I do something wrong?”
After a while, Wang Lu loosened her embrace on Liu Li. By now, the girl's face had been fully flushed with red clouds, and her body had turned as soft as cotton—she almost couldn't support herself.
At the same time, a red gem slowly condensed before her.
Seeing the gem appear, Wang Lu softly exhaled out; his effort just now had not been in vain—it really took a lot of effort to restrain himself from doing something more to that soft jade and warm body. And the result was...
Indeed, Wang Lu had hardly ever thought of Liu Li as a sexual partner, but his thinking was influenced by realistic conditions. When the two were in close contact, as long as Wang Lu was still a normal human male, his instinct had not disappeared completely, so his heart would naturally follow suit, emerging out a romantic feeling for her and thus a favor.
Hence, the ruby came out.
”Liu Li, collect that gem.”
Although the method was somewhat overly utilitarian, since the result was good, then everything was fine. Next thing he needed to do was to take the medicine according to the prescription for several times.
Then, Wang Lu once again hugged Liu Li, and once again a gem appeared. And at this time, Liu Li, who had already stood still, fell to the ground.
Thereupon, Wang Lu picked her up and finally touched her on the forehead with his lips, only to hear a sharp moan as Liu Li's whole body shivered. But at the same time, she had already gathered three gems.
As soon as she collected the three gems, Liu Li was directly expelled from this world. Wang Lu only saw a bright light on his bosom, and then the next thing he knew, the girl had disappeared.
”Phew, the first one is finally over…”
With a water element spell, he sprinkled his head with ice cold, chilling water, cooling down the passion in his body and began to prepare for the next one.
”Maids, summon Yue Xinyao here.”
—
To some extent, Yue Xinyao was easier to deal with than Liu Li.
Liu Li was actually very ignorant about such a thing as romantic feeling. Although she had always been very close to him for many years, it was actually born out of instinct. Were it not for Wang Lu's exceptional act just now, perhaps it would take her years to actually realize that she had an unusual feeling for Wang Lu.
However, Yue Xinyao already understood her feelings clearly many years ago.
The problem was only about Wang Lu's respond.
But how could a professional adventurer not know what to do about this situation?
The same two hugs and a kiss on the forehead and Wang Lu had sent away Yue Xinyao. However, unlike from when he first sent away Liu Li, this time, after sending Yue Xinyao away, Wang Lu always felt that his heart had begun to become a bit heavy, as if it had more shackles.
”... Looks like I'm not born scum after all, having a harem would actually give me psychological pressure.”
Whatever those girls thought of him, Wang Lu himself had to be genuine if he wanted to smoothly condense the ruby, as it would not appear if he faked his feelings. However, the fact was that, the more he gave out his genuine feelings, the more emotional burden he had. On this point, even Wang Lu simply could not just ignore it.
”Fortunately, there are three rubies per day as support, otherwise, it would really be difficult…”
As he thought about it, Wang Lu called out the next person.
”Bai Shixuan, come.”
—
The meeting with little Bai was even faster than that of Yue Xinyao, and the process was somewhat dreamlike.
Because when Bai Shixuan came in, Wang Lu didn't see the familiar tranquil girl, but a woman that had long been living deep in his memory.
”Grand Cloud?”
Grand Cloud Fairy, who once gave him the thousands of years of ripple in the lake, carried a unique memory in Wang Lu's mind. Thus, when they met again, it was extremely touching.
Although he knew that this was mostly just an illusion, Wang Lu still unconsciously appreciated the unparalleled beauty of Grand Cloud Fairy.
The dream was very short. Not long after, Grand Cloud Fairy had disappeared and Bai Shixuan was sent out from the palace harem world.
”... Just a dream meeting is enough to satisfy the condition? Is this the kind of ejaculation in sleep?”
With a bit of self-deprecation, Wang Lu found the next candidate.
”Cat girl, come here.”
—
Wang Lu had always wondered why even this stupid cat could be chosen by the Earth Immortal to enter the harem world.
His relationship with the several other girls, more or less, had a chance to develop toward an ambiguous one. Only this cat girl, Wang Lu really had no interest in her.
