Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 718: Chapter 336: Pie Filling_2

As for other mythical creatures, it all comes down to fate.

Although Li Yelai himself wasn’t sure if he had any karmic ties with those beings.

“Who knows if Mr. Shadow counts as a mythical creature?” Li Yelai wondered, as transforming into Mr. Shadow would allow him to simply throw out a tentacle and squash his enemies to death.

But it seems mythical mimicry can only imitate mythical creatures; an existence like Mr. Shadow might not be included.

Then there was the Holy Healing Potion.

Li Yelai discussed with Little Mad King for a while, and they decided to take one each, leaving the remaining two for official distribution.

This left Doll somewhat at a loss.

“Eh? Do I get one too? Σ(っ°Д°;)っ”

“I’m just here for the free food!!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ”

She wasn’t a benefactor of the Hong Family, just someone who had come along.

Little Mad King then explained, “In the action to retrieve the relics of Supreme Hao Han, the Night General contributed more, so he should get three. The potion for you is one of those. It’s a gift from the Night General. We just retained one each to hand over to the officials, that’s all.”

With that explanation, Doll no longer resisted.

It was a gift from her partner, and she would treasure it.

Afterward, the three of them chose two rooms within the villa and then retired to their own rooms.

…

In his room at the villa, Li Yelai had just closed the door

and saw Doll removing her winged helmet and gloves, as well as peeling off her airtight clothing.

Thus, her pale skin was exposed under the light, highlighted against the white silk ribbons, particularly striking.

Even given their relationship, Li Yelai still felt a wave of heat upon seeing this.

Indeed, it must have been tough for Doll, wearing such an outfit in the height of summer. Even with a Spiritual Barrier to keep out the heat, it would still feel stuffy.

Once she took off her clothes, she lay on Li Yelai’s back, murmuring, “It’s so hot, I don’t even want to move…”

“Wouldn’t you like to take a shower?” Li Yelai asked softly.

Usually, since Doll always wore her thick doll outfit, her first thing after coming home was to take a bath.

“I don’t want to move~~~”

Li Yelai couldn’t see Doll’s blushing face, but he could feel the girl’s arms sliding under his T-shirt, a tingling sensation gradually spreading throughout his body. Then, a soft whisper by his ear, “Xiao Ye… Could you help me wash?”

Li Yelai’s face flushed faintly, and he nodded slightly, “Hmm…”

So, two hours later, Li Yelai carried Doll out of the bathroom.

Well, perhaps the bathtub was too large, which caused them to swim for a while.

This left them both somewhat fatigued, and they quickly fell into a deep slumber.

…

The next morning, perhaps because she had slept enough on the train, Doll woke up early.

Opening her eyes, she saw Li Yelai still asleep beside her and felt a sweetness in her heart, stealthily kissing the corner of Li Yelai’s mouth.

‘I’m really naughty…’

She harbored a secret unknown to anyone; in fact, she had stolen a kiss from Li Yelai a long time ago.

At that time, Li Yelai was chasing down an illegal Spiritual Ability User, the Flying Gunman, on his own, protecting three civilians and carrying a huge rock, gravely wounded and on the brink of death by a Soul Extinguishing Weapon.

Even now, thinking back, Doll shuddered from the fear.

So close… She had nearly lost him forever.

Hence, she tore the Flying Gunman to pieces. Afterward, she fed Li Yelai the bitter Extraordinary Medicine, healing his wounds.

Once Li Yelai’s wounds were healed and his heartbeat stable,

she felt shy and nervous. There were many ways to administer medicine… And she had chosen a naughty method.

Like a little thief… Luckily, no one knew.

Since then, she seemed to have picked up some bad habits…. Oh my…

Doll twisted her body, carefully sliding her somewhat soft legs from the bedcovers, and stealthily got out of bed.

Seeing marks on her shoulder made Doll’s face redden again.

She put on a sleeping robe to cover the marks on her body.

She then tidied up the clothes thrown on the bedside table, hung two black trench coats on the clothes rack, and decided to prepare breakfast.

There were many ingredients in the villa’s refrigerator, the Hong Family had been considerate.

‘I could prepare something for Jiang Ling, too, but I wonder what she likes to eat?’ Doll thought, yet in the inner pocket of Li Yelai’s black trench coat, she felt something bulky.

Doll paused, then she opened the inner pocket of the trench coat.

The black trench coat had a spacious inner pocket, filled to the brim.

There were three small cloth bags…

Two of them were familiar to Doll because she had placed her own hair strands inside them.

“It’s been so long, the effects have probably worn off by now, it’s time to refill it today,” the Doll thought to herself, and then she opened the last cloth bag.

Inside this bag were full cubes of sugar…

Staring at those white sugar cubes, the Doll was stunned for several seconds.

A cheerful and passionate short-haired girl emerged in her mind.

That girl had a voluptuous figure that she envied, passionate as fire… not hiding her own affection and closeness.

At the same time, the pressure the girl brought was strong, as if she could see through all her little thoughts.

Therefore, whenever the Doll spent time with Li Yelai, she worried that girl might suddenly burst in to catch them in the act.

But the girl had never hindered her…

“Do you think you’ve won? You’ve just taken advantage of her absence to occupy everything that should belong to her.”

“With such despicable and low methods.”

“So what will you do when she comes back?”

“Replace these sweets, and you’ll have an unexpected harvest…”

“Just imagine what would happen if she ate these sweets…”

“She would never be able to return, and you could have him all to yourself.”

“Act now… only this way…”

A certain voice quietly surfaced in the Doll’s mind, seducing her to take certain actions.

The voice was very similar to her own, but more extreme and arrogant.

Like a prideful and autocratic emperor, ready to remove all obstacles, everyone who posed a threat to her.

Yes, if she were to substitute these sweets, or poison the sugar… she could never return.

In that seductive voice, the Doll pursed her lips and slowly opened the cloth bag.

Then, the Doll went to the villa’s kitchen.

“Yes, that’s right, with our ability, we can easily make some poisons…”

The voice suddenly stopped because the Doll did not pour out the sugar but instead picked up… chili powder?

The Doll sprinkled a bit of chili powder into the cloth bag, looked at the sugar cubes stained with a little chili powder, and nodded in satisfaction.

That way, the other party could get the needed sugar and taste something different as well.

The Doll knew the promise attached to these sugar cubes and would not interfere.

But… a little prank should be fine.

The Doll tied the bag and placed it back inside the inner pocket of Li Yelai’s overcoat.

“I’m really bad,” the Doll thought to herself.

As for the voice in her mind… the Doll did not know whether it was the corruption of Chaos Power or some dark presence.

Every time after a promotion, this voice would intermittently emerge, seemingly trying to guide the Doll.

But the Doll had never paid it any attention.

Afterward, the three of them finished their meal with Li Yelai and went to bid farewell to the Hong Family Master.

Returning to the Molten Furnace Mine City, they settled into the guesthouse prepared for the comrades from No.3 Border City and submitted two Holy Healing Potions.

This generous gift made the colleagues speculate.

Was the Hong Lan Family Head smitten with Li Yelai or the Little Mad King?

Were these actually engagement gifts of some sort?

A few days passed, and more Spiritual Ability Families arrived.

Li Yelai saw the Ma Family from No.2 Border City, and Ma Hongyi even came over to say hello.

That guy was close to achieving Sixth Sense, seemingly just a shiver away.

Later, Li Yelai saw the Mo Family from No.1 Border City. He was not familiar with the Mo Family and had never interacted with them.

But that genius girl from the Mo Family, Mo He.

She brought her team to visit Champion Team One specifically.

The dainty girl with eyes as deep as ancient wells warmly invited Li Yelai to make sure to visit No.1 Border City sometime.

The Giant City’s No.1 Master, Master Mo Hai, wanted to craft Spiritual Ability Equipment for the Champion Agent.

Many families were envious, for that was the Giant City’s foremost master! The Spiritual Ability Equipment he crafted were all top-notch, sought after by countless families but hard to come by.

With a famously bad temperament, even the Overlord’s face was not spared, yet he intended to make weapons for Li Yelai?

What’s with these Spiritual Ability Families?

Are pies still falling from the sky, one after another?

Li Yelai was extremely surprised.

Later, he learned from Captain Yin Huo that Master Mo Hai had a very good relationship with the seventh-generation Champion.

The seventh-generation Champion whom Li Yelai had resurrected had, in his last moments, been accompanied by Master Mo Hai…
