She… she… she… it really is Lilique!!!

Luwei felt as if she had been struck by lightning, frozen in place as she stared at the panel window displaying numbers that seemed like an error…

The countless digits nearly made a life-flash-before-her-eyes reel play in her vision.

Until…

Lilique finished the Life Potion in her hand, her face slightly flushed, and shifted her gaze to Luwei.

“Huh?”

Not daring to hesitate for a second, Luwei immediately reached into her pocket and, like a magician, pulled out several more bottles of Life Potion.

“Here~”

“You told me before not to drink too much… Why the sudden change?”

After downing several Life Potions, Lilique’s speech became a bit slurred…

If this were earlier, Luwei might have found her adorable.

But now—

Why isn’t she passing out yet?!

“It’s fine, drink as much as you want!”

Luwei suppressed the urge to turn and flee, forcing herself to explain with gritted teeth, “O-occasionally indulging won’t harm your health.”

Hearing this, Lilique looked at Luwei’s expression with some suspicion.

“Why are you so nervous… gulp~”

Only after Luwei tremblingly opened a few more Life Potions did Lilique retract her scrutinizing gaze.

“Wow…”

Her eyes seemed to sparkle.

“Hehehe~ gulp… so satisfying!”

Lilique swayed her head, teetering on the edge of passing out.

“Luwei~ Luwei…? I’m so happy…”

“Huff puff… Can you help me up? I can’t find my feet…”

Why isn’t she passing out yet?!

There were only two bottles of Life Potion left in Luwei’s room.

She couldn’t help but plan in her heart: if Lilique still didn’t pass out after drinking these…

She would just run out the door and call for help!

But…

Luwei then realized with despair that the entire Kares Territory… no, the entire Ayalon Kingdom, didn’t have a single strong person who could stand up to Lilique!

Who could be her rescue?

Meanwhile, the swaying Lilique, seeing Luwei frozen in place, reached out and wrapped an arm around her neck.

“Hehe~ Got you~”

“Gulp~”

To an outsider, it should have looked like a very warm, heartwarming scene.

“Here.”

“There’s still some here.”

Luwei handed over another Life Potion, a flash of resolve passing through her eyes.

If Lilique drank this and still didn’t pass out…

Then the last bottle would be for herself!

She would use her body to stall Lilique, then use the Slave Mark to notify Shuangsha and Shuangna, telling them to evacuate everyone in the Kares Territory overnight!!

Luwei recalled the Affection Level of 71 on the panel…

Probably, she could stall her for a while, right?

But just as this noble, self-sacrificing thought arose in Luwei’s heart…

Lilique swatted Luwei’s hand away, wrinkling her little nose and waving her hand.

“Burp… Enough.”

Has even my last resort failed against her?!

Too panicked, Luwei didn’t even have time to analyze how the situation had turned into this.

Her mind was filled only with scenes of herself being turned into a Blood Slave, tortured day and night!

And just now, Lilique seemed to want to bite her neck!!

“Luwei~”

“Right now… I want to taste your flavor…”

Lilique swayed her head, the words coming from her mouth nearly scaring Luwei to death.

“I-I don’t taste good! I’m sour! I’m smelly!”

Hearing this, Lilique shook her head…

“Not true… I’ve smelled you, very fragrant!”

As if to prove her point, Lilique let out a silly giggle and even licked the drool at the corner of her mouth.

Seeing such a terrifying sight, Luwei was completely…

Luwei had realized…

This drunken Lilique might be even more dangerous than her sober self.

If Lilique were sober, she might hold back to avoid exposing her identity and wouldn’t do anything to Luwei.

But her muddled self might very well act without restraint!

As if to convince herself, Luwei warily watched Lilique’s every move…

Suddenly, she felt she had found evidence.

See, she’s already showing signs of making a move!

“Luwei…? I’m so hot… my head hurts.”

Her small hands fumbled over her own body, as if trying to undo non-existent buttons on her clothes.

“Huh? My… clothes?”

Lilique turned her head to look at Luwei beside her, a hint of confusion on her little face.

But after a moment, she seemed to have a sudden realization.

“Luwei~ Hehe, was it you?”

Delight in her eyes, Lilique spread her arms and made as if to pounce on Luwei.

“Mmm… You said you didn’t want to, but you actually… stripped me naked…”

Facing Lilique’s tiger-like pounce, Luwei dodged without hesitation.

“Oof—”

“Oww… Luwei?”

Lilique got up from the floor, rubbing her reddened forehead with grievance.

Witnessing Lilique’s appearance firsthand…

So cute?

No!

So terrifying!

Two completely different thoughts surfaced, nearly causing Luwei’s left and right brains to start fighting.

Right now, she suddenly understood Monet a little.

Understood why she would scream “scary” at a cute Familiar Bat…

Just thinking that Li Ke was actually Lilique, and that she had just risked being instantly killed to act out several romantic skits with her, Luwei couldn’t stop waves of fear from rising in her heart!

“Luwei? You… don’t like me anymore…?”

Lilique pouted, her eyes instantly welling up with glistening tears.

“I…”

This question really stumped Luwei.

Accidentally discovering Li Ke’s true identity…

Was she supposed to act like nothing happened?

Not to mention, Luwei still had the Curse planted by Lilique’s killer on her, and right next door in the Alchemy Laboratory, Lilique’s vicious little Familiar was locked up!

But then Luwei thought again:

If she turned hostile in this situation, wouldn’t she die even faster and more miserably?!

“I… I like you!”

A smile uglier than crying appeared on Luwei’s face.

But the tipsy Lilique clearly didn’t have the mind to pay attention to Luwei’s state.

Hearing her “like you,”

Lilique’s expression turned sweet, as if she had eaten honey.

“Gulp~ Luwei likes me…!”

She pointed at herself.

“I like Luwei too~”

She pointed at Luwei…

Finally, as if thinking of a great idea, Lilique excitedly clapped her hands.

“We’re the best lovers!”

“So, let’s make a baby together~~”

Before Luwei could utter any words of refusal…

Lilique looked at her with a smiling face, and immediately after, a faint magical wave spread out.

Thump.

Luwei fell to the floor, her limbs feeling as soft as if they weren’t her own—

She could only watch with terror as Lilique stepped closer and closer to her…
