Distress Signal

"Mmm... Master..."

The girl, disheveled, curled up in Li Lin's arms. Her once elaborate dress had been removed, revealing her smooth, white shoulders and back. Her fair cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement and arousal. Faced with her master's "attack," Angela could only grip Li Lin's robe tightly, wrap her legs around Li Lin waist, and grit her teeth, enduring wave after wave of pleasure.

Finally, Li Lin's movements became faster and faster, while Angela's voices grew shorter and more urgent. Soon, she raised her head high, opened her mouth wide but couldn't utter a sound. Her delicate, doll-like body trembled violently. At this moment, Li Lin and the book stopped their thrusting. He embraced Angela's body, releasing the essence accumulated within him, while immersing himself in the beautiful afterglow.

"Call..."

After a few moments, Angela leaned weakly into Li Lin's arms, her whole body seemingly limp and devoid of any strength.

"You're much more intense than usual today, Master."

Angela her head, revealing a sly smile, and stared at the man in front of her.

"You're being too forward. What, is riding an airship that exciting for you?"

Faced with Angela's words, Li Lin naturally had a way to retaliate. Moreover, he wasn't making things up out of thin air. After dinner, Angela had pulled Li Lin onto the deck to admire the night sky, saying, "Let's see if the stars of this world float in the universe or in the sky." However, the little one quickly shifted her interest from the luminous objects in the sky to Li Lin, extending a warm and proactive invitation. Faced with the little one's temptation, Li Lin didn't hesitate at all. Besides, this airship was enormous; on such a wide deck, below was an endless sea of white clouds, and above was the eternal starry sky—the feeling of excitement was quite intense.

At first, the two were merely experiencing each other's pleasures, but when they realized that neither of them intended to stop, it quickly turned into a different kind of confrontation. Angela had lost count of how many times she had reached the peak of pleasure, and Li Lin had also forgotten how many times he had released his desires inside that petite body—in short, it seemed that it was long overloaded.

Ultimately, the confrontation ended with Angela begging for mercy.

"If I were human, I would probably be a complete idiot by now, incapable of thinking about anything but lust."

Angela grumbled under her breath as she straightened her clothes.

"Me too. If it weren't for this, you would have drained me dry long ago."

Li Lin smiled and waved at Angela; the magical runes on his hand were shimmering.

Hmm... While the Book of Pink may not be exactly highbrow, its spells related to sex are quite effective. In the little one's presence, succubi and lustful demons, who are adept at draining men's life force, are practically at a preschool level. Casting these kinds of spells at her request is hardly shameful for Li Lin. Furthermore, given Angela's inherently high magic resistance, very few spells actually have any effect on her.

"So much..."

Gazing at the white liquid still slowly flowing between her legs, Angela murmured in fascination, then looked up, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Master, if you're going to be so vigorous, even I might get pregnant!"

"Don't worry, even if you do get pregnant, I won't make you have an abortion or have a miscarriage."

Vampire Species have bodies whose time has been stopped, so Angela wouldn't develop and therefore couldn't possibly have life. However, this was just a joke, so Li Lin wouldn't deliberately point that out. He knelt down and helped Angela straighten her clothes, which were half (or more) torn by him, then stroked her little head.

"It's late, let's go to rest, or... do you want to sleep together tonight?"

"Is there even a need to ask?"

Feeling Li Lin's gentle caress, Angela happily squinted her eyes.

"Of course, I want to sleep with you, Master."

"Just sleeping? I don't want my sheets drying on the magic ship."

"Please don't worry, Master. This ship is so big, it doesn't matter where we sail, does it?"

I really don't know whether to answer that I should feel relieved or worried.

For the two of them, the wonderful night was over, and all that remained was to rest. But just then, Yi Aier's clearly reluctant voice rang out.

"I'm so sorry to have disturbed your good time, Master, but we've discovered some trouble."

Entering the captain's cabin at the bow, Li Lin's first sight was Yi Aier's flushed face, while Suoxiate beside her maintained her usual formulaic smile. Clearly, they had sensed what Li Lin and Angela were doing. After all, as the ship's Manipulator, Yi Aier needed to be mindful of the entire vessel to prevent any anomalies, and Li Lin hadn't taken any special countermeasures or concealment, so it wasn't surprising that the two had sensed it.

"Really, I was just about to go and rest..."

Angela, completely oblivious to being spied on, continued rubbing her eyes and complaining.

"We've been with our master for so long and we're a little tired. Why are you disturbing our rest?"

"You, you all..."

"Why are you blushing? It's not you who's doing it with the master. Are you already soaking wet just by looking at us? Or have you already been unable to hold back...?"

As she spoke, Angela smiled happily and looked between Yi Aier's legs.

"You solved it yourself? That's not good. The emptiness in your body isn't so easy to get rid of, you know. Would you like me to find you a cucumber or a banana?"

"You, you, you, you...!!"

Faced with Angela's taunts, Yi Aier had clearly reached her breaking point. Even her body was flashing with white light intermittently. Just then, Suoxiate coughed softly.

"I'm sorry... Sister Suoxiate."

The white light immediately returned to Yi Aier's body. She suppressed her anger and lowered her head.

"I apologize for disturbing your rest, Master. The reason for disturbing you is nothing more than a detection spell; there is a battle taking place not far ahead of us."

"Fighting?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lin raised an eyebrow.

"What about the scale?"

"It involved roughly a few hundred people; it was just a small-scale war."

"It's being conducted on the ground, right? What does that have to do with us?"

If it were a horse-drawn carriage, that would be a troublesome matter, but since they are currently flying in the air, even if a war involving tens of thousands of people is taking place on the ground, it shouldn't concern them at all.

"I think so too, but... the other side sent out a distress signal."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lin's eyes lit up.

"Was it sent specifically to us?"

"No, Master."

Yi Aier shook her head; she was the absolute authority when it came to magical constructs.

"The signal is incomplete and transmitted indiscriminately over a wide area, but it is indeed a special signal from the Magic Empire. This signal transmission method belongs to the later stages of the Magic Empire's mental magic techniques, with a range of approximately several kilometers, and it only reacts to the Magic Empire's transmission system. It was one of our commonly used methods of secrecy."

"This is really interesting..."

Li Lin finally understood why Yi Aier had bothered him at this time.

"... Reverse-detect the target's source and see what's going on."

"Yes."

Yi Aier responded quickly, then placed her hand on the platform in front of her. With a faint white light, the large crystal glass in front of her began to change, and after several adjustments, a scene of war was clearly reflected.

It was called a war, but it was indeed a small-scale battle. The two sides combined numbered only a few hundred people. However, even though it was night, neither side showed any intention of retreating. Both sides were desperately attacking. Judging from the armor worn by both sides, they should be regular armies.

"Um?"

After clearly seeing the armor of one side, Li Lin hummed curiously, because the armor, which was clearly composed of silver and gold, belonged to the Paladin Order of the Temple.

"I never expected that the Temple would actually be engaged in battle with someone here..."

Li Lin watched the battle with the paladins and muttered to himself. Those fighting them were clearly members of the national army. Although they outnumbered the paladins, the paladins possessed divine protection, making their situation more precarious. Even so, they showed no sign of retreating.

Where are we currently located?

"According to the map, we've almost reached the border region of Dideyasi."

Although not as convenient as Nia's, Suoxiate quickly found the information Li Lin needed on the map.

The dragons reside on Outer Sea Dragon Island. To reach Outer Sea Dragon Island from Li Lin's current location in Ringwraith City, one must pass through Dideyasi and its surrounding coastal nations, then cross the Storm Strait Outer Sea Dragon Island. They have only covered a third of the distance so far. While magic ships are fast, they are not infallible. However, this makes the situation quite clear.

"Are the other side the armies of those coastal countries? Although I had heard from Nia that they were at odds with the Temple of the God of Justice, I didn't expect them to do it in broad daylight... no, it's nighttime. It's strange. Paladins should never resort to such a sneak attack, right? If it was a sneak attack, then why didn't these soldiers leave quickly since they knew they were outmatched?"

Thinking about this, Li Lin was quite puzzled, but getting the answer wasn't difficult.

"Angela?"

"I'm very tired today and have no interest in playing with those stray dogs."

Angela yawned; it was unclear whether she was genuinely tired or simply uninterested.

"No way."

Faced with Angela's reaction, Li Lin could only shrug helplessly and then look at Yi Aier.

"Then Yi Aier, I'm leaving you to me."

"Why?"

Upon hearing Li Lin's command, Yi Aier's eyes widened in surprise, and she pointed at herself.

"Me... me?"

"Of course, let me see if you've regressed during this time you haven't appeared. Those paladins below are your best opponents. Any questions?"

"No problem! Leave it to me, Master. I'll explain everything to them!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Aier immediately stood up straight and responded to Li Lin. Then, she placed her hands back on the platform in front of her, maneuvering the huge magic ship to change direction and slowly begin its descent.

Even the Seven Ring Spirit Envoys couldn't possibly jump straight down from here.

Yi Aier isn't that stupid.

At that very moment, the battle on the ground also reached a point where the outcome was already decided.

Although these black-armored warriors were not weak in combat, they were still far too fragile compared to the paladins. The divine power not only significantly reduced the power of the black-armored warriors' attacks, but even if they managed to strike, as long as their injuries were not severe, the paladins would quickly recover and return to their peak condition. Although all of this was disadvantageous to their side, they could not retreat.

"Hold on! We must push them back and not let these paladins enter our holy land!!"

"Evil believers, you will eventually be purified under the light of justice! Abandon your futile resistance! Surrender!!"

Damn it!

Watching anxiously as the defensive line crumbled, the captain of the black-armored warriors was furious. During their patrol, they had unexpectedly encountered this group of paladins attempting to infiltrate their country. For some time now, the Temple had been sending paladins to infiltrate these outlying small nations under various pretexts and methods, subjecting them to trials and judgments. This had long fueled the resentment of these nations, and now, having run into these paladins, they were naturally determined not to let them get away with it. To the paladins, any nation that did not believe in God of Justice was a believer in evil. Therefore, they felt no remorse for invading other countries' territory. After all, the archbishop had personally ordered them to undertake this sacred mission to these evil nations to find the culprits behind the recent unrest on the continent. They were not about to be so easily stopped here.

This can be described as enemies meeting with intense hatred. The black-armored warriors launched an attack while simultaneously sending signals to call for reinforcements from their homeland. The paladins, on the other hand, had no reinforcements. Although they were on the border, the paladins were on a secret mission and naturally did not want to attract the border troops of Dideyasi. Moreover, the Five-Nation Alliance had always disagreed with the Temple's actions, and even if they found out, it was uncertain whether they would send reinforcements.

For this reason, the paladins immediately intensified their offensive, intending to defeat these black-armored warriors in one fell swoop and then leave before the enemy reinforcements arrived.

Faced with the increasingly powerful attacks of the paladins, these black-armored warriors finally succumbed and revealed their weaknesses. But even so, they refused to retreat. They would rather die here than let these damned paladins invade their country.

A shadow appears.

The bright moonlight was blocked by the heavy shadows, but the two sides, locked in fierce combat, did not notice. Then, a slender figure fell from the dark night sky.

"Please wait a moment--!"

Perhaps it was the sudden and unusual nature of the clear, sweet voice of a young girl appearing on the battlefield that caused even the two sides, who were already bloodthirsty, to pause and look in the direction from which the voice came.

In the middle of the battlefield, a maid dressed in a maid's outfit with golden twin tails stood there. Her expression was serious yet somewhat uneasy as she watched the two sides clashing before her. At this moment, most people had paused their actions; after all, the sudden appearance of a girl from the battlefield under such circumstances was quite strange—perhaps she was reinforcements for the enemy...

Yi Aier, of course, didn't think that far ahead. She glanced at the chaotic scene between the two sides, frowned, and then turned to the side of the black-armored warriors.

"Excuse me... was it your side that sent the distress signal just now?"

Upon hearing this, the black-armored warrior captain was startled. He had indeed sent out a distress signal. But that should have been a top-secret signal that could only be received within their country! How could this girl...?

However, there was no time to think right now, and the black-armored warrior quickly nodded.

"Yes, it was us who sent it. May I ask who you are...?"

"Ah, that's good. Please wait a moment, I will help you drive away these paladins. Now, please step back immediately."

As she spoke, Yi Aier turned around and looked at the paladins on the other side. Although they had heard the girl's words, the black-armored warriors did not retreat. What a joke! Could she, alone, possibly drive away these paladins?

"I'm sorry, you must leave here immediately... Is there a problem?"

"Evil believers have no right to command us!"

A paladin who was not far from Yi Aier stepped forward, raised his longsword with a loud shout.

"The wicked will surely be destroyed under the holy light of justice! Vanish, wicked ones!!"

Please don't come near me.

Yi Aier frowned at the paladin's actions.

"Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook... Ah!!"

Before she could finish speaking, the paladin swung his sword down, startling Yi Aier into jumping back and barely managing to dodge the attack. Even so, a long tear had been slashed through her maid's robe.

"You..."

Looking at her torn clothes, Yi Aier clenched her fists, and a faint white light began to emanate from her body once again. At that moment, Yi Aier also raised her right hand, and a faint, star-like light shone from the center of her palm.

"Didn't I... say... don't come near me?!"

Accompanied by the maid's scream, a blinding white light suddenly appeared, forcing everyone to close their eyes. They felt an unparalleled storm rushing towards their bodies, and even the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly.

When everyone opened their eyes again, the scene before them took them by surprise. In front of Yi Aier was a huge ravine that seemed to stretch endlessly. Dozens of people, including the paladin who had tried to attack her, had completely vanished without a trace.

Only then did the thunderous roar slowly reach everyone's ears.

The black-armored warrior, regaining his senses from the shock, immediately retreated without hesitation. The maid before him had proven with her strength that her words were not just empty talk; this was no longer a matter of reluctantly stepping forward to protect the border. Since someone was helping him, he should accept it quietly. It was better than ending up with no trace of his body.

The paladins were equally surprised; they hadn't expected their opponents to have such a powerful ally. But now, there was no turning back.

"For the glory of the God of Justice, you evildoers! Die!"

Almost all the paladins abandoned their opponents and rushed towards Yi Aier. The scene they had just witnessed had left a deep impression on them, and now, all the paladins unleashed their immense divine power without reservation to deal with what they considered to be their most powerful opponent.

But in the face of these paladins' attacks, all Yi Aier did was raise one hand again.

"Seriously, if you won't back down, then you might as well die!"

A massive white light appeared once more.

"This is truly barbaric..."

As Angela watched Yi Aier use a beam cannon to destroy enemies in the illusion, her face darkened.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a reckless use of power."

Yi Aier possessed no martial arts skills, nor any magic. Her only ability was to condense her Magic Power into pure beams of destruction and unleash them. Facing the paladin's attack, she was like a human cannon, firing devastating beams of light in all directions. Anyone caught in her beams, no matter how powerful, would be utterly shattered into nothingness by the pure energy impact, leaving not even a trace.

"First?"

Upon hearing Angela's words, Li Lin smiled slightly.

Don't you think this is similar to what someone else did?

Although he didn't explicitly state it, it was clear he was referring to Angela. In a sense, Yi Aier and Angela were indeed similar in fighting style and methods. Regardless of the opponent's techniques, they both relied on pure brute force to meet them head-on. Techniques have their limits, but strength has no limits. The inability to break through a technique's power was simply due to insufficient strength. In this respect, their fighting styles were essentially identical. No matter what methods the opponent used, Angela always opted for direct confrontation, never resorting to maneuvering. This was indeed quite similar to Yi Aier's current fighting style.

"... snort."

Surprisingly, Angela did not refute Li Lin's words.

Just then, the battle was drawing to a close.

For the black-armored warriors, this time was both short and long. They only saw several dazzling white lights flash by, followed by a deafening roar as the earth cracked open. When everything returned to darkness, not a single paladin could be seen beside the maid. Not only were there no corpses, but there were no weapons or armor left behind—it was as if they had never existed in this world.

"How annoying... my clothes are all torn! I told you not to come over!"

Seeing that the enemy had been completely wiped out, Yi Aier muttered a complaint as she lifted her clothes, repeatedly staring at the torn parts of her clothes, and muttered another complaint. At this moment, she acted just like an ordinary girl, and there was no way to tell that she had completely annihilated more than a hundred paladins with a wave of her hand.

"... Miss, thank you so much for your help."

Despite feeling a chill and fear, the black-armored warrior captain forced himself to step forward and express his gratitude. Although they wanted to turn and leave right now, it was better to be courteous so that at least one of their bodies would lie in their graves someday.

"No need to thank me... Weren't you the ones who sent out the distress signal?"

Yi Aier was clearly still bothered by the tear in her clothes, so her words were neither firm nor mild.

"This..."

Faced with this childish tantrum, the black-armored warrior captain felt a headache coming on, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Well then, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now..."

"Wait a moment."

"Miss, is there anything else you need?"

Upon hearing that the other party actually asked them to "wait a moment," the black-armored warriors' hearts immediately jumped again.

"Yes, my master has something he wants to ask you. Just come with me."

"Your master? Where is he? I'm sorry, we have an important mission at the moment and must report this matter. If we delay too long..."

You don't need to worry about that.

As she spoke, Yi Aier pointed to the sky.

"It's right there."

Everyone looked up with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, and then they all gaped in astonishment.
