A Story That Must Be Told

"Hah… it's a bit cold, but whatever, I can manage…" In a small lake surrounded by trees, Wu Yan shivered, submerged in the water, rubbing his body to wash away the bloodstains.

Although it wasn't winter yet, it was already late autumn. The water in the lake, while not below freezing, was definitely no more than single digits in temperature.

If his current body wasn't so much stronger than his previous small frame, Wu Yan would never have dared to come down for a wash.

While cleaning his body, Wu Yan pondered in his heart.

Now, his tasks in the Giant Beast Forest were all completed, and his level had risen to 18. He could be considered a small superman. Although he didn't know how strong the people in this world really were, he should be able to protect himself… right?

Should he find a place where people live?

Wasn't that how it always went in novels? The protagonist transmigrates, spends time as a wild man in the mountains, then comes to the city, gets noticed by some great family, great empire, great something-or-other, enters the organization, takes a test, and then the crystal ball explodes, his genius explodes, his inner universe explodes. At this point, those Emperor Greats and Clan Leader Greats would come running over, saying, "Hmm, a good seedling. I wonder if you'd be interested in dating my daughter" or something.

Hmm… or granddaughter would be fine too!

Huh? Wasn't he thinking about whether to leave the Giant Beast Forest? How did he start daydreaming?

Wu Yan had no idea that he had deviated from the topic he was thinking about. He was grinning like a hippo, clearly lost in his fantasies.

Splashing some water on his face, Wu Yan looked at the empty lake and sighed. "It would be great if a beauty came to scrub my back…"

You're thinking too much…

Hmm… or maybe not.

As Wu Yan's words fell, a delicate voice came from not far away, entering Wu Yan's ears.

"Wow! A lake! Great! I want to take a bath, I feel awful all over."

Wu Yan, who was washing his body in the lake, shuddered all over at this sudden delicate voice.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was just satisfied after fantasizing too much and then hearing a voice.

"Miss! Don't rush! Let us check for danger first!" At this time, a female voice that was more stable and gentle than the previous childish one also sounded, as if she was speaking to the Miss in her words.

"Oh, such a cute lake, how could there be any danger? You guys wait here, I'm going in, I can't stand it anymore." Almost falling headfirst into the water, Wu Yan really wanted to tell her that just because it looks cute, you rush in, you really have a…

"Miss! Be careful!"

Wu Yan's mouth twitched slightly as he watched a petite figure run out of the forest, feeling a pain somewhere.

Heaven knows, he was just fantasizing, and was just joking just now…

Slowly, a small girl with long, smooth black hair, wearing a unique dress that was obviously not from this world, and a white jacket appeared before Wu Yan's eyes.

The little girl had a face as beautiful as an angel, looking a bit like a child, and although her petite body was less than 1.7 meters tall, her figure was as hot as a witch, as could be seen from the pair of at least D-cup

So she really did want to play, huh…

"Oh… oh!" The little beauty nodded vigorously upon hearing this, turning her body away, feeling a strange sense of unease in her heart, as if she had been taken advantage of.

Could it be said that a woman's sixth sense is truly accurate?

Wu Yan walked out of the water, opened the System menu, and quickly tapped a few times, spending 100 points of item points. A set of shirt and trousers, with a style similar to what the little beauty was wearing but with a slight Western flavor, appeared in his hand.

After a rustling sound, Wu Yan, now dressed, smiled and looked at the little beauty who was facing away from him.

"Alright, you can turn around now."

Heaven have mercy, when has a little girl ever experienced such a situation?

She could only turn her head around with an uneasy expression, looking at Wu Yan with a face full of timidity.

Amused, Wu Yan shook his head, without the slightest hint of guilt, and said to her, "What's your name?"

She took a few slow breaths, her face gradually calming down, looked at Wu Yan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Merilulu, Merilulu Lolly!"

"Little Lulu, is it?" Wu Yan stroked his chin, then patted her head and said with a grin.

"You're the little one! I'm not little at all! I'm already 17 years old!" Summoning courage from who knows where, Lulu, who had been looking weak just a moment ago, couldn't help but say loudly.

At the same time, Lulu felt a burst of novelty in her heart, not only because the other party was calling out such a cheesy nickname that even her own father had never used, and the intimate gesture of patting her head, but also because of her curiosity about Wu Yan.

It sounds like he hasn't heard of me before.

You should know that in the past, whenever she said her name, everyone who heard the word 'Lolly' would become ingratiating and respectful towards her.

But now, this man who didn't look much older than her seemed to have never heard of it at all, with a natural expression, which made Lulu feel a hint of curiosity in her heart, as well as a hint of annoyance.

Her usually lovable appearance, which made countless men infatuated, seemed to be completely useless to this man.

"Well, don't worry about the details!" Wu Yan waved his hand casually, completely unaware of the little girl's inner thoughts.

Does Wu Yan not love beautiful women? Wrong! Of course he loves beautiful women, no man doesn't like beautiful women, Wu Yan is the same, but although Lulu has a face that is more beautiful than all the celebrities of the twenty-first century, Wu Yan is not an idiot! Moreover, compared to Lulu, Wu Yan is more into the beauties of the anime world!

So, apart from being a little surprised at the beginning, Wu Yan didn't show too much reaction, he was still him! It was impossible for him to pretend for a woman, it was too tiring, even if she was very beautiful! That's him!

Of course, anime girls are an exception!

"So, can you tell me, what are you doing here? You didn't really come to peep at me taking a bath, did you?" Wu Yan said with a grin.

"I… I didn't!" Lulu said, baring her teeth and claws, this person was really too bad.

"I just came to train, and I saw a beautiful lake and planned to take a bath, who knew there was already someone here." Little Lulu pouted, looking dissatisfied, you know, she almost took off all her clothes just now, if the other party hadn't spoken in time.

Wu Yan nodded in realization, a gleam flashing in his eyes as he looked at Lulu.

Merilulu Lolly: Level 38

Wu Yan opened his mouth in astonishment, speechless in his heart.

Although level doesn't represent strength, no level definitely means no strength.

Through the battle with that dead wolf, Wu Yan also understood that every ten levels is a watershed. It's not too difficult for a level 10 warrior to defeat a level 19 warrior, as long as they have equipment and abilities that are stronger than the opponent, they have a chance to defeat the opponent!

However, a level 19 warrior would definitely have to risk their life to win against a level 20 warrior! And there's a chance that they'll be the ones to die.

Although Wu Yan was only level 15 when he fought that wolf, it was because Wu Yan had the Kusanagi Sword, which could cut iron like mud, and relied on the mysteries of 'Swordsmanship Proficiency' to kill that dead wolf. If he didn't have these two conditions, a level 15 Wu Yan would be courting death against a level 20 magic beast.

Unexpectedly, a little girl just randomly popped out, and her level was higher than his, and almost twice as high!

This level, isn't it a whole level higher than that dead wolf that almost forced him to death?

This proves the truth of this world: Wu Yan is still too you
