Chapter 2674 / Chapter 2675 ...
Vita suddenly stepped forward, walked out from the crowd, and came to Chen Li.
While Chen Li was staring blankly at the cake, Vita's fingertip landed on the cake, lightly smeared some cream on it, and then, to Chen Li's surprise, put her fingertip into her mouth.
"Vita, you..." Chen Li looked at Vita's actions with some surprise.
But before Chen Li could tell Vita the details about the cake, Vita acted first.
Vita leaned forward slightly, one hand gently cupping the back of Chen Li's head, silencing Chen Li words. Instead, she gave him an unexpected touch— Vita's soft, moist lips.
In that instant, the living room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Fu Xuan blushed and turned his head away. Ruan Mei watched all this with great interest. Firefly covered her eyes but peeked through her fingers. Xing stared in disbelief with her mouth agape.
As Vita kissed Chen Li gently pushed a little bit of cream into his mouth with the tip of her tongue.
After a long while, Vita finally seemed to have exhausted all her courage and released Chen Li. Her cheeks were flushed, she was breathing rapidly, and she wiped her lips haphazardly with the back of her hand.
As a beginner, Vita felt that she had done a pretty good job to reach this level.
When Vita looked up and saw the pink heart shining in Chen Li's eyes, she was almost moved to tears of joy.
It's done! It's finally done!
"Heavens above, earth below, we've finally succeeded! Waaah..." Vita's voice trembled.
Seeing Vita's intense excitement, Chen Li let out a barely perceptible sigh.
Chen Li already had a rough idea of what the Great Herta had added to this cake. However, looking at Vita with red hearts popping out of her eyes, Chen Li knew that this thing seemed to be working a little too well.
Vita's excitement about Chen Li seemed to have reached its peak.
As for the love in Chen Li's eyes?
Just teasing Vita.
Don't be ridiculous, how could something like this possibly work on Chen Li, who no longer relies on external things and has achieved a leap in his own status?
However, seeing Vita's overly excited expression, Chen Li suddenly realized that he might have... gone a bit too far.
Um... if, Chen Li meant if.
If this Propagation powder has the effect of amplifying a person's inner attraction to the opposite sex, and Chen Li pretends to be affected but acts as if he has no interest in Vita at all...
Chen Li didn't even dare to imagine what Vita might do!
Sensing something was wrong, Chen Li quickly turned his head and looked to the Great Herta for help, trying to get the Great Herta to stand up and say something.
Use your Genius Society intellect to prove the limitations of this cake's effect!
But when Chen Li asked for help, the Great Herta just curled its lip, turned its head to the side, and ignored Chen Li's gaze... Serves you right for saying my cake is bad!
Now you regret it, right?
As for whether the Great Herta would believe that this thing would actually work on Chen Li, the Great Herta felt that the possibility was not negligible, but it was better than nothing.
But if you're asking the Great Herta to persuade Vita, that's something the Great Herta can't do.
Because you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.
At the same time, the highest level of deception is deceiving oneself. And Vita, as the Masked Fool, is clearly very skilled at this.
Just as Chen Li was about to turn around and ask Yao Guang for help, a warm body bumped into Chen Li's arms.
The next moment, Chen Li was lifted into the air.
Vita scooped Chen Li up in her arms in one swift motion, as if she had rehearsed it countless times. Chen Li didn't even have time to react before he was firmly in Vita's embrace.
Chen Li, who was being carried in Princess Carry, instinctively tried to struggle, but Vita's arm strength was unexpectedly great, and she held him tightly and steadily.
Although it wasn't impossible to break free, Chen Li didn't force his way out.
"My beauty, you're mine today!" Vita looked down at Chen Li, who was completely bewildered in her arms, and a radiant smile bloomed on her face.
Clearly, this wing powder has no effect on Chen Li.
But for Vita, the effect seems to be outstanding.
Chen Li turned his head, about to say something to the others, when Vita lowered Chen Li head and covered his mouth, swallowing back all the words he hadn't had a chance to say. After a while, she released Chen Li, slightly panting, her wine-red eyes filled with longing.
Just as Chen Li was about to say something, Vita resorted to her old tricks again.
Chapter 2674
Vita only stopped when she carried Chen Li upstairs in one breath and kicked open the bedroom door. She turned to look at the people in the living room downstairs and gave them a bright smile.
"Everyone, I'll go ahead first." Vita's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Um... could you put me down? I won't run away." Chen Li looked at Vita with a helpless expression.
"It's hard to say. In any case, I won't let go." Vita said, unable to hide her excitement, and then carried Chen Li into his room.
Vita then slightly turned her body, lifted one foot and precisely hooked it onto the edge of the door, then pulled hard.
"Bang."
The door slammed shut at Vita's feet, completely isolating the room from the outside world.
Vita placed Chen Li on the bed, then took a step back, her fingertips touching her collar as she unbuttoned the first button.
A coat was casually tossed onto the back of the chair.
The next moment, Vita pounced on Chen Li, landing precisely on Chen Li waist. The mattress creaked slightly under their weight.
"Let's get along well from now on." Vita placed her hands on either side of Chen Li's head, leaned down, and her long gray hair fell from her shoulders, brushing against Chen Li's cheeks.
"Aren't you really going to consider using the Invitation Space?" Chen Li asked, noticing Vita's eager expression.
"No need, we asked our uncle and aunt for ten days." Vita stuck out the tip of her tongue and gently licked the corner of her lips.
"What? Ten days? Are you crazy? Wait... what do you mean by 'we'?" Chen Li's eyelids twitched.
"Well then, I'll get started." Vita changed the subject, placing her hands back on either side of Chen Li's head, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Wait a minute, explain to me what you mean by 'we' first." Chen Li raised his hand and made a pause gesture.
"No, I don't want to talk about other girls' names during my happiest moment. Darling, can you grant me this little wish? You know, I lost my mother when I was little." Vita paused, then looked at Chen Li with a pitiful expression.
"Alright." Chen Li looked at Vita's expression and finally sighed.
And please stop telling jokes about Little Vita!
"Hooray! I'm really going to start!" Vita cheered, her fingers once again touching her clothes.
"Hey, wait a minute," Chen Li suddenly said.
"What's wrong? You're not going to back out, are you?" Vita paused, looking at Chen Li with some nervousness.
"No, what I meant was... don't take off the black stockings." Chen Li gently shook his head, his gaze falling on Vita's long, slender legs tightly encased in black stockings.
"... Huh? Is that what you're focusing on?" Vita blinked, a meaningful smile returning to her face.
In the living room below, Yao Guang looked at the golden Friends Circle shield that lit up on the second floor and nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright, it seems Vita has already started. Let's line up now," Yao Guang said calmly to the person next to him.
"Huh? Didn't we agree that Firefly and I would be in the top three?" Xing looked at Yao Guang with some dissatisfaction.
"Take my advice, Chen Li's stamina is terrifying, you can't handle him. Child, the waters here are very deep." Yao Guang patted Xing's shoulder, comforting him.
"Huh?" Xing was taken aback.
Is that really the reason?
"Besides, I have a legitimate reason. As the leader of the Paradise Alliance, I'm afraid this is the only day I can relax; the rest of my time is spent handling government affairs. So give me this opportunity, and I can compensate you," Yao Guang said to Xing with a smile.
"What compensation?" Xing's eyes lit up.
"All the trash cans on the entire Jade Palace Xianzhou are yours." Yao Guang waved his hand.
"Deal." Xing nodded vigorously after a moment's thought.
Time flows like a river, never ceasing day or night.
Chen Li had no idea how much time had passed outside, because the curtains in his room were never drawn, and the door was never opened. But visitors to Chen Li's room never stopped.
At the same time, Chen Li finally realized the true value of the "we" that Vita mentioned.
Although Chen Li has boundless energy, Chen Li surprisingly enjoys taking short breaks in his spare time. It is precisely because of these breaks that Chen Li finds them a pleasure, rather than a task.
Especially in the later period, besides doing some things they liked, Chen Li would always play games with them and chat about their recent work to pass the time, so he didn't find it boring.
Examples of the former include Silver Wolf, while examples of the latter include Yao Guang.
However, Silver Wolf was a bit greedy, even bringing along his larger self...
Honestly, what guy could resist this kind of life?
However, what made Chen Li somewhat uneasy was that after falling asleep in the arms of his partner every night, Chen Li was often woken up by the words, "The ten days aren't over yet, you can't rest."
Then came a new round of fierce fighting.
Here, Chen Li would like to express his special thanks to one person: Houraisan Kaguya.
If it weren't for Houraisan Kaguya's Power of Eternity protecting Chen Li's room, this family would have fallen apart sooner or later. In a physical sense...
It can only be said that the value of Houraisan Kaguya is still increasing.
After Chen Li finally defeated the last witch and took the eighteenth trophy representing victory from her, he stood by the bed, looking at Fu Xuan, who was curled up under the covers with only one long, slightly torn white-stockinged leg showing. He gently closed the door so as not to disturb her sleep.
After such an intense battle, Fu Xuan will probably need to sleep for quite a while longer.
Chen Li walked slowly down the stairs and immediately saw the scene of women in the living room.
Elysia sat on the edge of the sofa, resting her chin on her hand. Raiden Ei and Yae Miko sat side by side on the other side of the sofa. Ruan Mei was holding a cup of tea and looking down at some documents. The others were scattered in twos and threes throughout the living room.
"No way, there's a second round?" Upon seeing this, Chen Li instinctively took a step back.
"Don't worry, this time I really intend to celebrate your birthday. It's a birthday that's a month late, we can't keep putting it off forever." Elysia sat on the edge of the sofa, propping her chin up, and winked her left eye at him.
"I knew it! It was definitely more than ten days!" Chen Li pointed at Elysia and couldn't help but accuse her.
"Sharing happiness is better than keeping it to yourself. We couldn't very well refuse some unexpected people who wanted to join us. After all, they're all good friends, and we can't show favoritism." Elysia smiled a little shyly.
Just as Chen Li was about to say something, the doorbell rang.
"Who is it? Could it be my parents?" Chen Li looked towards the door with some confusion.
"No, your aunt and uncle are still on their journey through the multiverse. The last time we contacted them, they had just arrived in Gensokyo, and they're probably having tea at Eientei right now." Elysia gently shook her head.
"Who could it be?" Chen Li scratched his head and walked towards his front door.
When Chen Li opened the door, he was not greeted by any familiar faces, but by a postman in uniform.
The other person was holding an exquisite envelope, and behind them was a delivery truck with... HOMU a popular Chinese internet slang term for a character) logo?
"You must be Mister Chen Li, right?" The deliveryman compared the slightly faded photo in his hand, then looked up at Chen Li and asked.
"Yes, it's me. What's up? Is there something you need?" Chen Li asked after nodding.
"Congratulations, Mister Chen Li, you have been admitted to Paradise University. You will be the highest-ranking blacksmith on this planet, recommended by the Jixia Academy, to become a freshman in the Logistics Department at Paradise University. Please report to the Student Affairs Office in three days." The deliveryman handed the exquisite envelope to Chen Li with a smile.
Chapter 2675
"Huh? I'm a freshman at Paradise University? Really?" Chen Li took the envelope, looked down at the gold-embossed Paradise University badge on it, and his expression became somewhat subtle.
Paradise University? Isn't that my family's?
After closing the door, Chen Li looked at the group of people behind him who had all learned the news at the same time because of their exceptional hearing, and whose eyes were now shining. He felt a faint pain between his brows.
This was especially true after they heard that the students had started texting and calling Krydrla and other members of the student council, asking them to use connections to get into Paradise University.
A relaxed and enjoyable university life is about to begin... maybe?
P. S.: I originally planned to finish writing on the 30th, but I got more and more excited as I wrote and ended up writing 30,000 words in one day (actually, it was a whole day, plus writing until 3 a. m.). You can check my record! I broke my limit, so I'm recording it here.
As for the author's closing remarks and why I chose to end it now, I'll write that after I wake up. I've been writing continuously for almost 16 hours now, and I'm feeling a bit anxious. I need to go to sleep.
However, since there are indeed some things that haven't been written out, I will be updating some side stories from time to time.
Chapter ID: 115005488
Another 6 million-word book has come to an end. When I finished writing the last word at around 3 a. m. yesterday, I don't know if it was because I had been typing for 15 hours straight or because I was too excited, but my heart was beating too fast, so I only finished writing the author's note after I woke up.
And... it's finished! Dear readers who have been waiting for this book to finish, you can now subscribe to the entire series! (>▽)
