Chapter 233

"Well..." Chen Ce scratched his head, preparing to pull out his second set of theories about his former leader.

But this time Sona didn't give him a chance.

This young girl, who didn't understand what "love" was, decided to follow her mother's teachings—to pursue free love, and to be bold and courageous.

She grabbed Chen Ce's arm.

The Mariana Trench between her full breasts completely enveloped her.

[If Mr. Chen Ce is shy... then let me do it...!]

At this moment, Sona once again revealed her big sister aura—only not as a "gentle big sister," but as a "powerful and mature woman."

She held Chen Ce's hand and then used her toes to lift the blanket off the sofa.

Then they went straight to "sleep together under the same blanket".

[Let's... let's start by... actually living together... and give it a try...]

Click. The sound of a button coming off suddenly rang out.

It seems that Sona's movements were too large, causing the buttons on her chest to buckle—given that the buttons themselves were already bearing an unbearable weight.

The girl instinctively wanted to cover her chest with her hands, but ultimately resisted the urge.

Now... their relationship...

Even if it's just a trial... it has to be done in a realistic way...

What girl would be so secretive in front of her lover...?

Sona merely curled up slightly to avoid exposing herself too much—this was her last act of defiance.

Seeing this, Chen Ce considerately extinguished the candle on the table, indicating that he hadn't seen anything.

Yet the bright moonlight still accentuated the girl's alluring, snow-white skin.

[This... that...] The innocent Sona had never experienced such a scene before, and she was both shy and too embarrassed to hide directly under the covers.

Afraid of being seen, yet not wanting the other person to see...

Fortunately, Chen Ce had a solution. "Hmm... is the moonlight a bit too bright? I also think it's easier to fall asleep in a darker light..."

[Hmm...] Sona responded weakly.

So Chen Ce was finally able to test out his newly learned skill— Nocturne's skill.

Paranoia.

The magic was unleashed, and an area of several hundred meters in radius was instantly shrouded in endless darkness.

Now Sona can't see anything, so she doesn't have to feel embarrassed anymore.

As for Chen Ce... what? Who uses a skill that also blocks their own vision?

"Lights out, you're welcome."

[Eh...? Oh...] Sona felt like something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

In short... it's good that you can't see it...

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Until a warm sensation emanated from her bare, snow-white skin.

Judging from its shape... it looks like...

One hand...?

[Mr. Chen Ce...?!]

"Ah, sorry, it was too dark, I accidentally bumped into you... What did I bump into?" Chen Ce's voice was full of innocence.

[N-nothing...] Sona turned over.

But soon, that strange sensation returned.

[Huh...?!]

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally bumped into you again... So what exactly did I bump into?" Chen Ce's voice remained innocent.

Sona's face was flushed red to her ears, and she couldn't utter a single word for a long time—she was so hot that she couldn't use any magic at all!

Then, I ran into them again...

That's too much!

But...

There is... a little bit...

Comfortable...

Sona knew that she was destined not to fall asleep easily tonight.

As for her...

The price of "provoking" Mr. Chen Ce...

Never mind... I'm pretty... well, you know... anyway...

In the instant she closed her eyes and completely resigned herself to her fate, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Sona's lips as she turned her back to Chen Ce.

The last page of that strange book also had a "final move," called...

High-level hunters often appear as the prey.

Chapter Ninety-One: Farewell, Cage!

Chen Ce woke up earlier than Sona, which was unusual for him.

The bedding on the bed was a little messy, the girl was fast asleep, and the air was still filled with a faint scent of hormones.

Chen Ce sniffed his hand with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

It wasn't until last night that he truly understood what that saying meant... "A mountain is so vast that one hand cannot cover it."

Sona probably didn't sleep well last night... but she fell asleep comfortably, so perhaps that counts as a "good night's sleep"?

Ahem... But no matter what, she's definitely not getting enough sleep, so let's not disturb her.

Chen Ce tiptoed out of bed—of course, the first step was to carefully pull his hand out of the Mariana Trench before getting dressed and getting up.

Sona usually gets up early to make breakfast, so let her rest today.

Half an hour later, a steaming hot breakfast was ready, and Chen Ce had finished eating.

Before leaving, he went back into the room to check on the sleeping girl.

Sona's long, blue hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few strands covering her flawless profile and others falling across her full breasts, contrasting beautifully with her bright white skin... Perhaps it was due to her biological clock, but her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her breathing became more noticeable, as if she were about to wake up.

Her thin pajamas were already in disarray, even the buttons at the collar were missing... Her pajama bottoms were alright, barely covering her long, full legs, the slightly fitted lines perfectly outlining her voluptuous features. I just wonder if she'll catch a cold?

This outfit is so revealing.

Even at home, even if you've seen it before... it always evokes a strong feeling no matter how many times you see it.

She looks both innocent and sly...

Just like everything that happened last night... Sona usually seems like a dignified and elegant older sister musician, but once she gets into character... is this what they call "secretly passionate"?

Perhaps... maybe...?

It's true that the quieter someone is on a daily basis, the more... well, you know, they can be in private...

Good morning, see you later.

Chen Ce gently touched the girl's beautiful cheek, covered her with the blanket, and then left the room.

The Great City morning in Xiongdu is full of vitality, with everyone busy with their lives. This scene makes this old city look much younger.

The only pity is... those Mageseekers.

The increasing number of "reports about Black Mage" has caused Great City. Many shops and other public places have been closed for investigation, and the streets now reveal a sense of desolation and fear hidden beneath the prosperity.

Chen Ce expressed strong condemnation of this.

Chen Ce glanced silently at the Mageseekers badge in his palm—oh, so I'm Mageseekers too. Never mind then.

After hiding the Mageseekers badge, he walked in the opposite direction from the Mageseeker Order's camp.

Directly in front of the Grand Plaza in the Great City is the royal palace where the kings of Demacia have lived throughout history.

Many fully armed soldiers stood in front of the magnificent palace, ready for battle, and no fewer than fifty patrolmen patrolled back and forth around the palace.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ce finally decided to "sneak in" directly—going in openly would not only be troublesome, but might also be seen by Tianna or Eldred's people.

With the [Deceive] activated, the combination of teleportation and invisibility allowed him to easily bypass all the guards, and Jarvan IV's private Training Grounds were now in sight.

The "royal scion" clad in golden armor slumped at one end of the Training Grounds, his heavy breathing emanating from beneath his tight helmet. He toyed with a firearm that looked utterly out of place in Demacia, muttering to himself:

"Is this really impossible to mass-produce...? If everyone could have one, then this arduous and time-consuming training could be completely eliminated..."

"With this weapon, even an ordinary farmer who has toiled in the fields his whole life can defeat the elite, Dauntless Vanguard..."

"It's like receiving a divine gift... it's like directly achieving a leap in social class..."

"We really need to find a way to produce more of it..."

Chen Ce listened from the side, and for some reason, he felt like laughing.

He broke his invisibility and said, "Good morning, Your Highness."

"Huh?!" The sudden sound startled Jarvan IV, who almost instinctively gripped the training spear beside him.

But after seeing who it was, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You're really scary... Couldn't you have just walked in from the front? Wait... how did you suddenly run in?"

"Perhaps the palace walls need to be built even higher," Chen Ce said with a smile.

"Your skills... Garen really didn't exaggerate..." Jarvan IV exclaimed in amazement.

Then he quickly hid the Hextech Revolver behind his back.

"The Hextech Revolver is great, isn't it?" Chen Ce asked with a smile. "It seems you really hope it can be mass-produced?"

"Ahem... it's just so-so..." Jarvan IV waved his hand. "This thing is alright, but compared to the battle-hardened warriors of the Dauntless Vanguard, it's just a toy... it's dispensable, understand?"

"Real?"

"Of course..."

"Oh..." Chen Ce smiled but didn't say anything.

Jarvan IV sensed that the other party must have overheard something, and his face immediately fell.

"Don't talk about that... Let's get down to business. How come you were suddenly transferred to Fossbarrow a few days ago? You didn't even tell me. I could have easily gotten rid of that kind of small thing if you had just told me—it wouldn't have even revealed our relationship."

"I felt it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't bother you." Of course, Chen Ce wouldn't say that his trip to Fossbarrow was on the orders of a demon.

In order to "devour" another demon.

"Alright... Anyway, if you encounter something like this again and don't want to go, just tell me, and I'll find a way to arrange it for you." Jarvan IV patted his sore neck and asked, "Did you find anything at Fossbarrow's place? I mean... evidence of the Mageseeker Order's violations?"

A little, but not much.

In which aspect?

"Let's keep it the same as before, regarding their abuse of power to oppress the people, their lavish eating and drinking, and so on."

"Is this all the small problem...? Fine, keep all the evidence, we'll settle things later." Jarvan IV shook his head, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

But then he remembered something. "I heard you did very well at Fossbarrow? We received several official letters from there requesting commendations."

"It's alright, I dealt with one Black Mage." Chen Ce deliberately concealed the existence of Nocturne.

"That Black Mage is no ordinary person... You've really made a name for yourself this time." Jarvan IV patted the other man's shoulder approvingly. "The Mageseeker Order has been investigating that Black Mage for some time now, but without any progress. You went there and solved the problem. Now many people are saying that the Mageseeker Order has produced a legendary Mageseekers."

"That's too kind."

"Whether it's praise or not depends on the facts. You did solve a very tricky problem, and now many people know that you have extraordinary abilities."

"Well... by the way, Your Highness, there's something else I must tell you."

"What?"

"Regarding the other Mageseekers who went to Fossbarrow with me..." Chen Ce lowered his voice and stated bluntly, "They were Eldred's men. They wanted to harm me."
