Xayah

Li Ke scratched his head and sighed, deciding not to rush out just yet; he would focus on boosting his strength first.

Once his strength improved to the point where he could resolve most issues using Yone's sword without needing to activate Overdrive, he wouldn't have to worry about his identity being exposed.

Once he had developed enough, he naturally wouldn't have anything to fear!

In short, everything was about development!

With that thought, Li Ke prepared himself, placed the sword across his knees, and swallowed another medicinal pill, beginning to meditate to accelerate his mental recovery.

The mental boost provided by this sword was terrifying; mental energy that would normally take over ten hours to recover now returned to a state where Li Ke could initiate a simulation in less than five.

"First, I'll simulate what I might encounter on the road if I don't go to Irelia's place, then I'll try to reach the Arad Continent to obtain higher-level swordsmanship!"

The previous simulation had only served as a scouting mission, so Li Ke still had to waste one opportunity.

But before this simulation, Li Ke decided to stay far away from Irelia's home, because that woman was toxic; the moment he saw her, he completely forgot about his sect missions.

So, this time, he absolutely had to stay away.

He had stayed at Irelia's place previously because he had injured his backside riding a low-quality carriage, so if he could just keep his backside safe this time, there shouldn't be any problems!

"Watch the backside, watch the backside."

After muttering this to himself a few times, Li Ke started the simulation again, once again choosing to blur his memories.

Day 1: You board a low-quality carriage, but you have prepared in advance, buying a soft cushion to protect your backside. While the other passengers are in agony, you remain calm and are even able to say that you could handle a bit more.

Day 2: You pass through a small town, and nothing happens.

Day 3: You pass through another small town and see a girl with a very shapely backside. Upon inquiring, you learn she is Irelia. Wanting to stay, you immediately board the carriage to avoid being seen with the ancestral sword of Irelia's family, which you have wrapped in black cloth.

Day 3: You pass through a town and encounter Noxian scouts who are eliminating witnesses. You fight them, but everyone traveling with you dies; only you survive after killing the enemies.

"Noxian scouts?!"

Li Ke was startled. The War Masons of Noxus were extremely famous; they would infiltrate their targets' lands long before Noxus launched a war, embedding themselves in every social stratum.

They gathered intelligence, infiltrated, bribed, assassinated, or provided cover for Noxian assassin squads.

It was precisely because of these people's help that the Noxians were able to easily defeat one nation after another, constantly expanding their territory.

He just hadn't expected that these War Masons would be able to slaughter a village in Placidium, the very heart of Ionia!

That was absurd, wasn't it?

But thinking about Ionia's society, which was similar to a tribal system, Li Ke could only sigh.

When a militaristic nation attacks a tribal one, wasn't it perfectly normal for such things to happen?

Sighing slightly, Li Ke continued to watch.

Day 4: Another group of assassins tracks you down. You draw Irelia's ancestral sword and kill them all. Fortunately, no one discovers this.

Day 5: The Noxians seem to have given up on pursuing you. You continue toward your destination on the carriage driver's horse and notify the nearby towns to be wary of the Noxians.

Day 6: You are bathing in a river when you accidentally startle a Vastaya. You two get into a fierce fight; the opponent uses her feathers to snap the sword Yone gave you. You are forced to use Irelia's ancestral sword again, using flames to burn all the feathers she shoots at you.

You capture this Vastaya and notice that she has a very shapely backside.

Day 7: During your friendly exchange, the Vastaya, with a sword held to her throat, reveals her name: 'Xayah'.

Day 8: You and Xayah hit the road together. You compliment her beauty and her shapely backside, but the response you get is a volley of feathers that nearly pierces your pants.

Day 9: You and Xayah encounter a cute young girl who is bent over while farming. Xayah says she is enslaving nature, but you remark that the girl has a very shapely backside.

Your words are overheard.

You and Xayah are chased and beaten by the people of the village.

Consequently, after escaping, Xayah attacks you, but she can't beat you and gets beaten up instead.

Day 10: You both fall into a dangerous canyon. With no food, you look at Xayah's wings and ask a question you shouldn't have.

Xayah flaps her wings and gives you a clawing.

You compliment her shapely backside again.

You get beaten up again.

Day 11: You are attacked. Xayah, wanting to leave on her own, is injured and poisoned, unable to move.

Day 12: You carry Xayah up a sheer cliff, but as the price, Irelia's ancestral sword, which you used as a climbing tool, is left at the bottom of the valley.

Day 13: Xayah wakes up.

Day 24: Xayah brings back the ancestral sword of Irelia's family, which you regretted leaving behind but didn't go back for. When you ask her how she managed it, she turns her head away and says nothing.

But you notice her hands are cut, clearly from the climbing.

Day 30: You finally reach your destination. Xayah watches you enter the village, then leaves, taking your newly purchased sword with her.

Month 2: Someone is moving around on your roof. You go outside and find Xayah fighting a fox with a very shapely backside. Upon seeing you, Xayah snorts coldly, accuses you of having lowered your guard, and runs off.

Month 3: You find the fox that once fought Xayah. You become friends and discover that she feeds on memories, which happens to solve your problem of mental instability, so you invite her to live in your house. The fox, hoping for a stable source of food, agrees.

That night, you were beaten up in the village by a masked person with a very perky butt, leaving your body covered in feathers.

In the fourth month, Xayah said she had nowhere to live and moved into your house.

In the fifth month, you lost your house due to a battle between a bird and a fox. You complimented both the fox and the bird on their perky butts, and the fox declared that she would absolutely never let you off the hook.

That night, you were beaten up by a masked person with nine tails and a very perky butt.

Then, you were struck by a feather in the butt.

In the sixth month, you, the fox, and Xayah rebuilt a house together. That same month, because the fox gave you a kiss, you were beaten once again by the masked person with the perky butt.

"..."

When Li Ke read this part, he couldn't bear to look any further.

I told you to pay attention to butts!

But not other people's butts!
