Chapter 664: You should know I like you, right? The Elder's reminder
"Got it!"
Hearing Xie Antong's voice, Black Knight didn't hesitate for a second. The space inside this room couldn't possibly support it going at full speed, yet it still forced a sprint.
With a drift, it actually made it near the curtain.
"Tch, what are you trying to do!?"
Lu Ce suddenly realized something was wrong. Raising a hand, a powerful suction force emanated from his palm, forcibly transforming Black Knight back into bracelet form and slipping it onto his own wrist.
"Causing trouble the moment you come out."
Lu Ce frowned, looking at the bracelet on his wrist as he spoke, seeming a bit like he wanted to change the subject.
"Heh... Your contrast is really quite big. Not planning to take responsibility?" Xie Antong teased.
Lu Ce: ......
How did we get to the responsibility stage?!Lu Ce felt a headache coming on and spoke up:
"Sorry, I didn't expect that mask to be so outrageous either......"
"Really? I thought you had planned it for a long time. What a pity." As she spoke, Xie Antong shook her head as if genuinely regretful.
"In that Overloaded state, the feel of that skin was completely you. Finally not kissing a mask~."
Xie Antong had finally gotten a chance to see Lu Ce looking somewhat guilty and at a disadvantage, so she immediately pressed her advantage, chasing him down relentlessly.
Lu Ce narrowed his eyes. Although his impression of Xie Antong did include a bold side, he felt that today was just a bit too outrageous.
"You......"
"After receiving that selection as Pleasure's spokesperson, have you started getting a bit too... pleasured?"
"Can you really control yourself?"
Xie Antong laughed without hesitation:
"Your saying that is really hurtful. Can't it be that I'm saying these things from my genuine heart?"
Lu Ce fell silent once more. He had never felt that Xie Antong's eyes were so difficult to face.
Lust Overload... really dug myself a huge pit, didn't I......
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you."
After chasing and attacking for a good while, Xie Antong finally stopped.
"I know you're not in the mood to respond to me. You made it very clear the first time we met in the Game, didn't you?"
"But, since you can use me to make your mask Overload, then I use you to help digest this Pleasure a bit. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Lu Ce nodded subconsciously, but quickly added:
"Before, I didn't have the idea of using you."
The corner of Xie Antong's mouth lifted slightly as she shook her head, indicating it didn't matter.
"Also, how do you plan to 'use' me?"
As if guided by some ghostly whim, Lu Ce still asked one more question.
Xie Antong didn't speak. She just stood up and slowly walked towards him.
These eyes of Lu Ce's, which had never retreated in the face of the Game or the Gods, couldn't help but lean back slightly as they watched the person approaching.
Xie Antong's hand reached out, gradually moving closer to his face.
Her eyes, comparable to a computer's, keenly captured the emotions in Lu Ce's gaze. She knew if she really touched him, he'd probably still stop her.
Ah, what a shame...
So her hand lowered slightly, grabbing the collar of his clothes at his neck.
"You should know I like you, right?"
Lu Ce: ......
"According to the Rules of this Game, the more I oppose you, the more rewards the Game will give me."
"So... in future Games, I'll still have to try my best to deal with you. But I hope our strongest Player will remember a bit of our past affection and show some restraint when dealing with me."
"And in normal, real life, I might still tease you a bit more."
As she spoke, Xie Antong's hand exerted a slight force, and Lu Ce was forced to stand up accordingly.
"After all, who would think that my greatest enemy in the Game is the person I have feelings for? This contrast is the greatest Pleasure I can imagine~"
"And it's a Pleasure that belongs to me alone!"
What a truly explosive cultivation method...
The two were very close now, each able to hear the other's breathing. Lu Ce wasn't wearing his mask right now and wasn't quite sure what expression he should make.
If he were wearing the mask, she probably wouldn't dare to be this bold...
"Is that so......"
"Then how's your digestion going now?"
Lu Ce finally began to look directly into the eyes of the person before him.
"You're currently in a state where you're mobilizing the power of Pleasure, aren't you?"
Xie Antong's eyes flickered. She gave a bitter laugh, released her grip, and sat back down.
Looking at Lu Ce with a somewhat resentful gaze, she said:
"You really know how to kill the mood."
"Actually, from a personal perspective, I think it's quite interesting too."
What Pleasure or not, it's just an excuse to get more contact with him.
Forget it.
Her gaze gradually calmed down, returning to tranquility as she slowly withdrew the power of Pleasure surrounding her.
If it lasted too long, she was also afraid her Spirit might lose control.
Using this power to tease him a bit is enough, just treat it as a different kind of... drunken rampage?
Hmm... Teasing Lu Ce a bit really did help digest some of the power. The effect is outstanding.
Lifting her eyes again, her state finally returned to a slightly more normal one.
That feeling that had even given Lu Ce a bit of "pressure" finally dissipated.
"Why that expression? Makes it seem like you suffered some huge loss."
After calming down a bit, Xie Antong stared at Lu Ce and snorted with some dissatisfaction.
"No, I just think..."
"Pleasure really chose the right person by picking you."
Lu Ce forced a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. After this incident, the matter of him forcibly kissing her before could be considered temporarily set aside.
"Alright, I know you probably want to talk about Game matters more." Xie Antong waved her hand, saying helplessly.
"These past couple of days, I met with the Dragon Group's... Grand Elder!"
Xie Antong's voice was mysterious, and her phrasing was very formal, completely different from the flirtatious she-devil of a moment ago, as if she were talking about some major event.
But Lu Ce's reaction was very genuine.
"Who?"
He asked with a face full of confusion. Did the Dragon Group have some elder system now?
Xie Antong was speechless for a moment and could only give a rough explanation of the Grand Elder's transcendent status.
Finally, she said:
"His name is Nie Jiu Tian. I just found out too."
"The moment I saw him, I was a bit shocked. With my current eyes, there are only three people whose depths I completely cannot see: you, Perfect Life, and him."
"Perfect Life has the particularity of his origin, so his strength can actually be roughly estimated. But this Grand Elder might truly be an extremely powerful expert."
"Among the old Players, he might be the real hidden master."
As she spoke, a trace of lingering fear actually appeared on Xie Antong's face.
"And, he actually knew for sure that I would have private contact with you."
"He asked me to give you a reminder."
