Aurelia's Invitation

Upon entering Goddess Peak, it was evident that the security here was extremely tight.

Silver Moon Knights were patrolling everywhere, and the surroundings were filled with powerful restrictive forces. With the maid leading the way, no one obstructed them.

From this, it could be seen that the person they were going to meet must hold a very high position in the Parthenon...

Soon, they arrived at a place that seemed like a side hall on Goddess Peak. As Chen Lang entered, he saw a captivating figure.

The woman with a graceful figure had a completely Western face, but if one didn't look closely, she didn't seem much different from an Eastern woman. Her eyes were exceptionally bright like stars, the kind that evoke pity and tenderness!

Based on her figure, appearance, and age alone, Chen Lang was already able to confirm her identity.

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

Although Aurelia's beauty was in no way inferior to Mu Ningxue's, and Western women even had a superior advantage in terms of figure...

Chen Lang knew better than to think this woman could be easily handled!

He didn't let his lower half control his mind and retorted, "I believe we haven't met before."

"That's why I wanted to get to know you, Young Master Chen," Aurelia said with a charming smile, her voice sending shivers down one's spine.

Even though she merely chuckled without any seductive intent, she exuded an alluring and captivating charm~

"Just to get acquainted?" Chen Lang suppressed some of the restlessness in his heart and asked.

Aurelia didn't beat around the bush, saying sweetly, "I heard Young Master Chen is here at the Parthenon to study and gain experience. Coincidentally, I also plan to go out and gain some experience myself. I invited Young Master Chen here because I want to travel together."

Everyone knew the real reason for coming here from the moment they arrived, whether it was for experience or not.

Aurelia was certainly aware of this, but her statement made Chen Lang's guard rise.

Chen Lang's expression was calm as he refused, "I don't plan to gain any experience here."

Aurelia had initially thought that with just a few words, Chen Lang would, like other men, not refuse her request.

But she never expected that this guy... would actually refuse her?

The reason Chen Lang refused was, firstly, he knew that she, who could survive in this environment, wasn't just relying on Wen Tai's influence.

Who knew if this woman, who had both brains and beauty, might set a trap for him?

Secondly, with her current strength, bringing him along for experience?

What was the difference between that and a beginner with level 100 equipment? He had no interest in the beginner zone right now.

Seeing that Chen Lang wasn't joking, Aurelia added, "If Young Master Chen feels that traveling with me offers no benefit, you can also consider it as me needing your protection... I can pay for it."

Although Chen Lang didn't want to go along with her thoughts, he still curiously asked, "What kind of reward can you offer?"

Aurelia wanted to offer money, but the Chen Clan was a powerful entity, and now that he had won first place in the World Academy Competition, the allocation of resources was likely immense.

But what about rewards other than money...

Magic Tools, Magic Weapons?

Her treasures were all given to her by Wen Tai when he was alive, and each one was extremely important.

If it wasn't given by Wen Tai, Chen Lang probably wouldn't care, but this trip was crucial for her!

Seeing Aurelia fall into silence, Chen Lang, with his dwindling patience, said, "Miss Aurelia, if you haven't decided, perhaps you should consider someone else?"

"Wait!"

Seeing that Chen Lang was about to leave, Aurelia hurriedly called out, as if she had made a decision.

Her reaction made Chen Lang feel even more that this matter... was not simple!

He shouldn't have malicious intent, but he must guard against others; he had always understood this principle.

At the same time, he strongly believed what Zhang Wuji's mother said: the more beautiful a woman is, the more she lies!

"If I'm not mistaken, Young Master Chen is also cultivating the Shadow System, aren't you?" Aurelia suddenly said, just as Chen Lang was formulating his refusal.

"Yes."

Chen Lang didn't deny it. After all, he had used Shadow System skills during the World Academy Competition.

Furthermore, given Aurelia's status, investigating him wouldn't be difficult.

Seeing that Chen Lang didn't deny it, Aurelia continued, "If the place I'm going to this time can provide unlimited assistance for Shadow System cultivators at High-level and below to advance by one level, would Young Master Chen be 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. However, he still voiced his doubts, "But why choose me, Miss Aurelia? As far as I know, there are many powerful individuals in the Knight Hall who are no weaker than me and would be willing to accompany you?"

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

For some reason, she felt that this guy seemed very wary of her from the moment he saw her...

But did she look like a bad woman?

Chen Lang didn't bother to verify the truth of her statement and instead asked, "You're telling me this, but what if the resources aren't enough for two people to share?"

Aurelia heard him say this and knew that he was willing to accompany her.

"Don't worry, it will be enough for our current needs."

Chen Lang had no reason to refuse anything that could increase his strength.

All he had to do was be a little more cautious: "That sounds good. When do we leave?"

"We can leave now."

If Chen Lang, who had no connection to the Parthenon, hadn't shown up, Aurelia would have already departed.

However, her safety wouldn't have been guaranteed if she went alone. This was why she had sought Chen Lang's cooperation.

Looking at the woman, Chen Lang felt a pang of emotion: She's really decisive!

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

"Okay."

After Chen Lang left the Sacred Mountain, he headed directly for Longyearbyen City.

Aurelia arrived there about a day after him.

The two met.

Upon seeing Aurelia, Chen Lang got straight to the point: "Now you can tell me where we're going, right?"

"The Arctic Ice Sheet."

The moment he heard Aurelia's words, Chen Lang, despite already having a guess in his mind, couldn't help but want to curse!

This woman is truly a lunatic!!!
