Chapter 205: 204 “I can only get started directly. Chapter 205: 204 “I can only get started directly. “You…”
Ai Yi’s eyes began to show a hint of murderous intent as she looked at Shane.
Shane was frightened.
“I… I just wanted to have a look, I was just curious, can’t I even do that?”
Shane opened his eyes wide, a face full of grievance.
Ai Yi was speechless.
Without asking, she knew this jerk was just putting on an act; Ai Yi could see right through it.
But although the grievance was an act, Shane’s curiosity was genuine, and that too, Ai Yi could see.
Perhaps everyone hid their intentions too deliberately, and her own reaction too strong, so this jerk’s curiosity only grew stronger, seizing the opportunity to make a request, right?
This really left Ai Yi without a solution.
If it were someone else daring to offend her, not relenting and pestering her, Ai Yi would’ve directly blown them away in one breath, vaporizing them on the spot.
There was no doubt about it, her breath could vaporize an ocean, let alone a person—it was as simple as could be.
However, facing Shane, although Ai Yi was angry and annoyed, she still felt helpless.
There probably wasn’t a second person throughout the God, Human, and Demon Three Realms who could make her feel this way.
Of course, this might also have something to do with Shane not harboring ulterior motives in his interactions with her, right?
Despite knowing quite a bit about her complicated background, he still interacted with her without any reservations or ulterior motives—besides her five sisters, Ai Yi had never encountered anyone like that.
Therefore, although she initially just wanted to observe and monitor this mysterious hero, as Ai Yi spent more time with Shane, she began to feel that it wasn’t so bad after all.
At least, it was much better than sleeping day and night alone in the castle, right?
With this thought, Ai Yi heaved a deep sigh.
“Really, aside from you, there isn’t a second person who could manage this feat.”
Ai Yi emphasized this point again, intending to let Shane know how fortunate he was.
Unfortunately, Shane’s eyes just lit up.
“So you’re saying, you agree?”
Shane asked eagerly, as if he was only concerned about this matter, with everything else seeming irrelevant.
This made Ai Yi empathize with Luoqi’s feelings.
The urge to bite someone.
Ai Yi could only sigh deeply again.
Ai Yi finally nodded.
But before Shane could celebrate, Ai Yi immediately added a condition.
“However, this will have to wait until you fulfill your promise and eradicate the Old Demon Clan Faction.”
Ai Yi imposed such a prerequisite.
Suddenly, it was Shane who became dissatisfied.
“What kind of rule is that?”
“Don’t push your luck; this is already a huge compromise for me. Aside from when the Demon Clan surrendered and decided to coexist with the Divine Race and Human Race, I’ve never made such concessions,” Ai Yi said unsympathetically. “You’ve already delayed this matter for a month, so why can’t I delay it too? What’s the problem?”
Shane was left speechless.
Seeing this, Ai Yi felt a rare sense of triumph.
I’ve got to put you in your place a bit, or you’ll really think I’m just a pushover kid, huh?
That’s not happening!
Ai Yi asked for confirmation.
“Fine,” Shane replied reluctantly. “But remember, you have to let me have a look when the time comes.”
“Don’t worry, once I make a promise, I will absolutely not break it,” Ai Yi nodded but also stressed, “But it’s only one look, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Shane’s eyes slightly shifted.
“I know,” Shane smiled with a meaningful look, “If you say it’s a billion, then it’s a billion, don’t worry.”
“That’s good then,” Ai Yi finally showed a satisfied expression.
Thus, Shane and Ai Yi agreed to head to Sterling’s Domain in a month to eliminate the Old Demon Clan Faction that were hiding there.
Before that, Shane would continue to stay in the Royal Capital, using this month to fully explore the Underground Magic Book Library in the Royal Palace.
Shane believed he’d find many things he needed there.
By then, Shane’s strength would have skyrocketed yet again.
After finalizing their plans, Shane and Ai Yi prepared to head back.
“Why are you carrying me?”
Looking at her feet suddenly off the ground and feeling the embrace from behind, Ai Yi fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
Shane, who had picked up Ai Yi, was feeling the softness of the cute loli in his arms as he said with an impudent air, “You wouldn’t let me feast my eyes, so I’ve had to get hands-on.”
Such a scoundrel’s statement was truly shameless.
Ai Yi no longer felt like biting someone; she wanted to pinch someone.
Perhaps sensing this, Shane quickly defended himself, “You said before that I could continue to carry you.”
That left Ai Yi at a loss for how to react.
All Ai Yi could do was sigh yet again.
Seeing Ai Yi’s look of silent grievances yet without resistance, Shane grinned, pleased with himself, and holding the irresistibly cute loli of the Demon Clan, he headed in the direction of the Lazahad family.
It wasn’t long before Shane and Ai Yi returned to the Lazahad family.
It was then that Ai Yi struggled slightly to jump out from Shane’s arms, no longer letting him get handsy.
Shane felt a twinge of regret and reluctance because the feeling had been truly indescribable.
But he knew very well that with Ai Yi’s personality she would never let herself be hugged and held in front of others, so Shane didn’t insist. Together with Ai Yi, they entered the Lazahad family and made their way into the garden.
As it turned out, just like last time, Vivian and the others were all gathered here, yet it seemed they were discussing serious matters rather than the aimless chats of their previous encounter.
“You’re back?” Upon seeing Shane, Vivian immediately waved him over, saying, “Just in time, come over here, will you?”
“What’s up?” Shane asked curiously as he stepped forward, “Are you discussing something?”
“Yes,” Vivian nodded, adding, “We’re planning what to do next.”
Like Mr. Bellen, Leon, Alis, and the others, after the audience had ended and the incident provoked by the Old Demon Clan Faction had come to a complete close, Vivian’s Team needed to consider their next steps as well.
“Mr. Bellen and Leon are ready to depart. They will be traveling back to Lamijion together tomorrow. Alis, as previously agreed, will stay in the Royal Capital with her teammates. It’s only us who haven’t decided yet,” Vivian explained, “I’m now asking everyone’s opinion to see what they think.”
No sooner had Vivian finished speaking than the usually taciturn Tielle looked towards Shane.
“Vivian mentioned that you’ll be staying here for a while?” Tielle inquired of Shane.
“Right,” Shane didn’t hide anything, admitting openly, “I have a month’s access to the Underground Magic Library, so even if I were to leave, it would likely not be until after a month.”
Upon hearing this, two hands feebly rose into the air.
“Is… is it really just for that reason?”
Lu Muya asked timidly.
“…Could it be that Mr. Shane decided to stay because of the Princess?”
Merica hesitated, then spoke with a complex expression.
Shane was at a loss for words.
Can this gag ever end?
Please, let’s move on from this, I’m begging you.
