Chapter 152: Lyla's Lie?
'Strange, isn't she a clone? Then why does her gaze feel a little different?' Lyla thought to herself as she stopped in her tracks and gazed at Irene deeply.
Watching her actions, Ava and the other legion members became puzzled.
"Miss Lyla, what happened? Is there some problem?" Ava inquired as she too looked at Irene, wanting to see something.
However, all she could see was another Li Xin.
'Humph, all men are scums. He is probably asking his companions to clone themselves with those sexual skills so he can enjoy them,' she thought with irritation.
But she didn't care too much because it was normal in this world, not to mention the sexual cloning skills were something created by heroes for this reason.
"Miss Lyla, I think we should leave now as it's not a good thing to waste our time more," Ava suggested, wanting to leave this place.
"Okay, Ava, let's go then," Lyla nodded with a cold expression, and before leaving the villa, she didn't forget to glare at Li Wei coldly.
'Scumbag, bastard, idiot, jerk,' she cursed in her mind, feeling upset as she thought of him using sexual cloning skills for his pleasure.
If it was before, she wouldn't have cared, but now he was the only man in all worlds she could have a relationship with, and watching him like this, she felt upset.
Because sexual cloning was nothing more than creating some sex dolls for pleasure.
'Li Wei! Don't let me meet you again,' she thought with anger and left the villa with her companions, not caring about the puzzled Li Wei behind her.
'What happened? Why did she look at me like that suddenly? Is she planning to kill me now?' Li Wei thought with a sigh, wondering if everything was okay with her mind or not.
He didn't know about Irene changing her appearance to look like Li Xin because she kept her real face visible to him. If not, he would've connected the dots to her reaction.
However, without it, he could only think if something happened to her brain.
'Maybe I should give her more cookies next time if we meet,' he muttered to himself and started to ponder about how many cookies he should give her when a voice rang behind him, disrupting his thoughts.
"Li Wei, what happened between you and Lyla?" Irene inquired with a curious look after he closed the door.
Others too looked at Li Wei, waiting for his explanation. However, he shook his head and glanced at Irene.
"Miss Irene, I heard from Miss Lyla that high-level paladins from the capital city will be coming to search for you in a few hours," he informed her with a serious expression.
He didn't know what kind of skills they have, but they must be more powerful than Irene to catch her, and it wasn't something good for him as he wasn't powerful yet to confront them if something unexpected happened.
In any case, this wasn't good news for him, also for Irene, as she will be punished.
However, Irene didn't care about this at all.
"So what? Let them come, I didn't run away for nothing. I'm already prepared for such situations," she replied with a hint of pride as she took out a black ominous ring and explained.
"This is the Concealing Ring I stole from my father after poisoning him, and it's level 220, one of the highest-level equipment of this world. It can cover all of my traces, making anyone below level 220 unable to discover me."
"So, don't worry about those paladins unless my father found out about this missing ring and came personally to catch me," she said, assuring Li Wei with a smile.
But hearing this, Li Wei didn't feel assured at all.
'I have a bad feeling about this, and I hope it isn't true,' he thought with a troubled sigh and pondered over how she poisoned her father, who is a higher level than her.
When once again, his thoughts were interrupted by her.
"Li Wei, why don't you tell us now what happened between you and Lyla?" Irene inquired, looking at him deeply, followed by Li Xin and others.
"Yes, brother, tell us what happened. I am also curious about it too," Li Xin said, agreeing with Irene, while others nodded with a curious expression.
They really wanted to know how he stopped a big child from crying continuously, so after asking him, they all waited in silence for his explanation.
Watching them like this, Li Wei became speechless.
"Well, if you are that curious, I will tell you," he replied a little unwillingly and explained what happened from start to finish.
He didn't feel there was a need to hide something, so he told them everything, including how he fed her cookies forcefully to make her stop crying, to about her family rules and patting her head to calm down again.
Hearing all of this, Li Xin and others couldn't help but feel sad for Lyla.
"I never thought Miss Lyla would have such rules in her family," Li Xin muttered with a sigh.
"Yes, sister Li, I am also surprised at the rules; however, brother Li shouldn't have abandoned Miss Lyla without hesitation like that," Alice muttered, glaring at Li Wei.
"Hey, I am not at fault here. It was just an accident, and how could I know such rules existed in her family? If I knew it, I would've dodged before I could hurt her," Li Wei protested with a sulky face.
However, no one cared about his excuses; even Li Xin didn't care and agreed with Alice's statement.
"Brother Alice is right; you shouldn't have abandoned Miss Lyla like that. She will definitely feel hurt in the future because of this," Li Xin stated with a pout and glare.
Hearing her, Li Wei became depressed, but he didn't say anything, or it will anger her.
When Irene, who was silent, opened her mouth.
"Everyone, Lyla is lying," she stated, making everyone shocked and stunned.
Li Wei was also the same, but he hurriedly recovered and shook his head.
"Miss Irene, I don't think Miss Lyla would lie about this because there is no need for her to do it. Also, weren't you aware of her family rules and asked me to console her because of this?" he replied, believing in Lyla.
Hearing him, Irene nodded.
"Yes, I know about her family rules, and that's not what I am talking about. But the last thing that her family won't find out about this if you don't tell anyone or conceal the news," Irene explained with a sigh, making Li Wei stunned.
"Miss Irene, you mean her family will find out about this accident without any news or someone telling them?" Li Wei inquired as he felt a bad feeling in his heart, and it got confirmed when Irene nodded.
"Yes, her family will find out about this because of a certain ritual in their tradition. This ritual contains placing a rune on their body that will become unstable if they have close contact with a man."
"And I think the next ritual is in the next few months, so it won't be long before they found out about this," Irene replied with a sigh and continued.
"I don't know why Lyla didn't tell you this, but I don't want to see her in pain and suffering, so I am sorry for your telling this," she added with a guilty and apologetic face.
While hearing her, Li Wei sighed deeply.
"Miss Irene, you don't need to apologize, and I thank you for telling me this earlier, or it would've been too late," he said with a grateful expression, and he was being honest.
Because now he knows the situation and could think of a way to handle it. If worse comes to worse, he will become Lucifer and teach her family a lesson until they take back their rules.
However, if he didn't know, the things will probably won't end up good.
'Miss Lyla, why didn't you tell me this?' he thought with a puzzled face and looked at Li Xin and others who were silent.
(Don't worry; a few months are enough for me to become powerful and handle everyone in this world,) he assured them with confidence.
Hearing this, Elva and others became relieved, while Li Xin gazed at him deeply in silence.
Li Wei felt her gaze, but he decided to ignore it.
"Irene, don't worry about Miss Lyla. I can handle this situation and won't let her suffer. If her family still doesn't listen, then they will have to face Lucifer," he assured her.
"Then I am relieved to hear this," Irene nodded, feeling at ease as she thought of Lyla's family.
'Old farts, you better not bully my Lyla or this time I will definitely burn that precious forest of yours,' she muttered in her mind, making a decision to fight alongside Li Wei if the time came.
