Aurelia's Invitation

After entering Goddess Peak, one could easily tell how heavily guarded the place was.

Silver Moon Knights patrolling everywhere could be seen, and the surroundings were filled with powerful restraining forces. With the female maid leading the way in front, however, no one stopped them at all.

This showed that the person they were going to see definitely held a very high status in the Parthenon...

Soon, they arrived at a place resembling a side hall on Goddess Peak. Entering it, Chen Lang saw a fiery figure.

The owner of the curvaceous figure had a completely Western face, but without looking closely, she was not much different from an Eastern woman. Her eyes were exceptionally bright like stars, and she had that pear blossoms drenched in rain, breathtakingly pitiful look!

Just from her figure, appearance, and age, Chen Lang could already confirm the other person's identity.

"My name is Aurelia. Please forgive my rudeness for presumptuously inviting Young Master Chen here." Aurelia first introduced herself, then offered a perfunctory apology.

Although Aurelia's beauty was not the slightest bit inferior to Mu Ningxue's, and even Western women had a superior advantage in terms of figure...

Yet Chen Lang was all the more aware that this woman was not someone who could be easily manipulated!

He did not let his lower body control his thoughts, and instead asked rhetorically, "I suppose we haven't met before."

"That's why I wanted to get to know Young Master Chen." Aurelia gave a charming smile, her voice making one's scalp tingle in waves.

Clearly, she merely let out a sweet laugh without any seductive intent, yet somehow she fully displayed enchantment and allure~

"Just to get to know each other?" Chen Lang suppressed some of the restlessness in his heart and asked back.

Aurelia did not beat around the bush, saying sweetly, "I heard that Young Master Chen came to the Parthenon to study and train, and as it happens, I also have plans to go out and train for a bit. I called Young Master Chen here this time because I want us to travel together."

As for whether they came here to train or not, from the very moment they arrived, everyone knew it in their hearts.

Aurelia naturally knew it even better, but her phrasing like this actually made Chen Lang's guard go up.

Chen Lang's expression remained calm as he refused, "I don't plan to do any training here."

Aurelia originally thought that she only needed a few words and Chen Lang would be like other men, unable to turn down her request.

Yet she never expected that this guy... would actually reject her?

The reason Chen Lang refused was, first of all, he knew that being able to survive in this kind of environment meant she did not rely solely on Wen Tai's halo.

With a woman who had both assets and brains like this, who knew if she would stab him in the back?

Secondly, with her current strength, bringing him along to train?

How was that any different from a beginner carrying max-level gear? He had zero interest in the newbie zone right now.

Seeing that Chen Lang did not look like he was joking, Aurelia added, "If Young Master Chen feels that training with me won't be of any help, you can also think of it as me requiring your protection... I can pay compensation."

Although Chen Lang did not want to follow her train of thought, he still curiously asked back, "What kind of compensation can you pay?"

Aurelia wanted to pay money, but the Chen family was vast and powerful, and having now won first place in the World Academy Competition, the resources allocated to him were probably countless.

Yet as for compensation other than money...

Magic tools, magic artifacts?

Her treasures were all given to her by Wen Tai before his death, and each one was extremely important.

If they weren't given by Wen Tai, Chen Lang probably wouldn't even look twice at them, yet this trip happened to be very important to her!

Seeing Aurelia fall into silence, Chen Lang said with rather lacking patience, "If Miss Aurelia hasn't made up her mind, why not consider someone else?"

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Chen Lang already intended to leave, Aurelia hurriedly called out, as if she had made some decision in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Chen Lang felt all the more that this matter... was not simple!

Do not harbor intentions of harming others, but be guarded against others; he had always understood this principle.

At the same time, he firmly believed what Zhang Wuji's mother had said: the prettier a woman is, the better she is at lying!

"If I'm not mistaken, Young Master Chen should also practice the Shadow System, right?" Just as Chen Lang's refusal speech was already prepared in his mind, Aurelia suddenly said this.

"Yes."

Chen Lang did not deny it. After all, he had used Shadow System skills during the World Academy Competition.

At the same time, with Aurelia's status, investigating him was not difficult at all.

Seeing that Chen Lang did not deny it, Aurelia continued, "What if the place I'm going to this time can provide unlimited assistance for the Shadow System at the High-level and below to advance by one rank? I wonder if Young Master Chen is interested?"

"Unlimited advancement for High-level and below!?" Chen Lang was slightly incredulous.

Aurelia nodded.

Hearing this, Chen Lang naturally lost his lack of interest, but he still voiced the doubt in his heart: "But why did Miss Aurelia choose me? As far as I know, the Knight Hall has quite a few powerhouses no weaker than me who would be willing to travel with you?"

"Because... I don't want people from the Parthenon to know about this." Aurelia knew that if she didn't explain, Chen Lang would probably be hard to convince.

For some reason, she always felt that this guy had been very wary of her ever since he first saw her...

Did she look like a bad woman?

To this explanation, Chen Lang did not bother to verify whether it was true or false, but instead asked, "You told me this, but what if the resources aren't enough for the two of us to share? What should we do then?"

Upon hearing him say that, Aurelia knew he was willing to accompany her.

"Rest assured, it will be enough for what you and I currently need."

For something that could enhance his strength, Chen Lang truly had no reason to refuse.

It was nothing more than needing to keep his guard up: "Then that's fine. When do we set off?"

"We can set off right now."

If it weren't for the appearance of Chen Lang, a guy completely unrelated to the Parthenon, Aurelia would actually have set off long ago.

However, if she went alone, the safety guarantee coefficient was not very high. This was why she sought cooperation with Chen Lang.

Looking at this woman, Chen Lang felt a bit emotional: she really was swift and decisive!

"You go ahead and leave the Sacred Mountain first, and we'll rendezvous in Longyearbyen City."

"Alright."

After leaving the Sacred Mountain, Chen Lang headed straight to Longyearbyen City.

Aurelia arrived here roughly a day later than him.

The two met up.

When Chen Lang saw Aurelia, he got straight to the point and asked, "Now you can tell me where we are going, right?"

"The Arctic Ice Sheet."

The moment he heard what Aurelia said, even though Chen Lang already had a guess in his heart, he still couldn't help wanting to curse!

This truly was a female madwoman!!!
