Chapter 194: Is It Okay To Go On Like This?
"Priestess Irene, Li Wei is right. We should first increase their spirit attributes and talk later," Lyla agreed with Li Wei's suggestion, as she saw Irene becoming irritated because he stopped Li Xin from further explaining the outfits of magical girls from anime.
Irene wanted to know more about this, but after watching Li Xin and others also expecting to raise their spirit attributes first, she agreed.
"Okay, let's raise your spirit attributes first," she replied with a nod while casting a glare at Li Wei.
But he didn't care and nodded at her.
"Then let's move to my room," he suggested.
To which Irene agreed, as his room was bigger and also comfortable for long tasks like this. So, she didn't hesitate to follow him to his room with others.
Lyla was also included in this, but she was feeling anxious going into his room.
Nevertheless, she suppressed her feeling and arrived inside with everyone, where they all sat on the sofa waiting for Irene's instructions.
She didn't let them down and started explaining.
"As you know, the process of raising spirit attribute is a little dangerous and it takes a lot of time. Normally, for a person, it will take one or two weeks to increase spirit attributes by ten points if they don't have someone like me and Lyla," Irene stated, making Li Wei and others stunned.
They only thought that spirit attributes can be increased by this way; however, that doesn't seem to be the case from her words.
Irene knew what they were thinking, so she smiled.
"Li Wei and my dear sisters, don't forget that all races in the worlds have a long history, and we have managed to find a few ways to raise spirit attributes. However, they have too much low effect; like I said, it takes one or two weeks just to increase the spirit attribute by ten points,"
"Remember, the person I am talking about is a high level who has greater affinity with spirits, and this was the only reason why the person didn't go out of control after exceeding the limits. So don't tell this to anyone and don't try to do it yourself, Ever!" she stated with a strict look.
She didn't tell them earlier because she was unsure of them trying this and losing their lives, but after watching them for a whole day, she understood they wouldn't do it, and Li Wei will never let that happen.
So, she decided to explain because the world of high-level people was totally different, and Li Wei will definitely encounter people like this soon, so she wanted him not to assess people based on some knowledge from books as it might be dangerous.
Li Wei, too, knew this as he found a lot of things not matching as the book says. This was probably done by the kingdom to prevent people from risking their lives and there was even misinformation about some things.
Because of this, he already stopped relying on them, and now with Irene explaining this, alarms started to ring in his mind.
'It seems I have to get stronger as soon as possible,' he thought with a serious expression and continued to listen to Irene.
She explained that with her and Lyla's help, the process can be done very rapidly, like they can raise the spirit attribute to 10 points in just a few minutes.
Which means they will need two to three hours per person to increase their spirit attribute by 1000 points and might even take longer because of their low level.
So, she can't raise everyone's attributes today and asked them to decide who will go first.
There was no surprise here as Li Wei replied he will be first because Li Xin and others didn't want to.
"Miss Irene, what do I need to do now?" Li Wei asked, looking at Irene after deciding he would be going first. The others also looked at her with curiosity, wondering what kind of process it would be.
But to their surprise, Irene didn't explain much.
"Li Wei, you don't need to do anything except sit on the bed. But before that, let Lyla lock your soul first," she replied, pointing at Lyla, who blushed with an embarrassed expression after hearing this.
Nevertheless, she got up from the sofa and sat on the bed before starting at Li Wei in silence, knowing what was going to come up.
Irene knew the reason so watching her like this she laughed inside.
'Haha, Lyla, you can't escape from this,' she thought, smiling inwardly, before turning towards Li Wei, who was puzzled at Lyla's gaze, wondering what he needed to do.
"Li Wei, take a seat in front of Lyla and let her do everything. You are really lucky that such things happened between you; if not, Lyla wouldn't be able to lock your soul, and I wouldn't be able to increase your spirit attributes," she explained, making Li Wei puzzled.
'Is it something similar to the experience transfer skill?' Li Wei thought, feeling stunned. Nevertheless, he kept a calm face and nodded at Irene.
He was a man, so there was no way he will shy from small things like this. Because of this he didn't care much and sat in front of Lyla just as Irene instructed.
While Lyla, who saw him seating in front of her, became a little stiff, but she managed to keep her calm.
'It's just a normal thing Lyla, and nothing else, so be calm,' she reminded herself, and before Li Wei could say anything, she moved extremely close to him, their feet almost touching each other.
Watching this, Li Wei became stunned, but he remained composed and waited for her to speak.
"Li Wei to lock your soul, I need to touch you for a certain amount of time. So, you must follow my instructions seriously. Also, there is no way this process can be stopped, so be prepared and inform me when you are ready," Lyla stated with a grim look.
Hearing this, Li Wei removed all kinds of thoughts from his mind and nodded at her with a serious face.
"Miss Lyla, I am ready," he replied without any delay.
"Okay, then we will start then," Lyla nodded at him and took a deep breath before directly gazing into his black eyes.
"Li Wei, focus into my eyes," she instructed with a serious expression.
Li Wei was puzzled, but he didn't care and gazed deeply into her beautiful pink eyes that became a little anxious after sensing his gaze. However, it was just for a moment and soon they became composed and serious.
"Li Wei, just keep calm and let me do everything," Lyla whispered softly before grabbing Li Wei's handsome face with both hands.
Li Wei became stunned at this, but when he saw her eyes calm like water, he suppressed his other thoughts and calmed down, only to see the pink eyes and beautiful face closing in on him rapidly.
Before he could even think about what was happening, Lyla's face was just a centimetre away from his, and their lips were almost touching each other.
"Miss Lyla..." Li Wei muttered, wanting to say something and back out, but Lyla grabbed his face tightly, not letting him move.
"Soul Preservation," she chanted calmly and moved forward, directly pressing her forehead on his.
Li Wei was stunned, but suddenly he felt an energy running through his body. It was warm and gentle, as if trying to protect him.
Feeling this, all his attention was attracted to his forehead where this energy was coming, however, it was slow, taking its time.
Li Wei knew this was crucial, so he removed his thoughts as he gazed into her serious pink eyes, which were firm with focus, and forgot now her small nose was brushing off against his.
Li Wei did feel this; however, he didn't do anything about for fearing she might get disturbed, but he made sure that their lips did not brush against each other like this and started to wait until she finished the process.
However, it was taking a very long time for some reason, and Lyla frowned at this, but soon her expression returned to the serious look as she continued the process with all focus.
The whole room was silent, watching them like this, and no one said anything because the atmosphere was serious.
Even the carefree Irene didn't joke and frowned when she saw it was taking longer than expected.
'What's the problem? Is there some difficulty?' she thought with a serious look, as this problem never happened to her.
Lyla was also puzzled at the difficulty she was facing; but she didn't have time to ponder it.
However, the reason was simple: Li Wei's soul was stronger because of the blessings, goddess system, and bug he has.
It's just he himself didn't know, as he got the Astral Eyes just recently and didn't use them for fear Irene might finding about this.
So, he was also puzzled at Lyla who was grabbing his face tightly with a serious look, while sweat dripped from her face as if she was having some difficulty.

'It's been only a minute! Is it okay to go on like this?' Li Wei thought with worry as he saw her eyes becoming a little dull with exhaustion. He could feel the warm energy gathering in his body, and if she needed to fill his body with it, then it would take a lot of time.
However, Lyla was already getting tired, and couldn't go on like this or it will harm her soul and even his.
