Chapter Twenty-Three: 'Magic' Defeats Magic



The 'Literary Exchange Meeting' suffered a major blow.

The wives who suffered the first major setback of their CP (couple pairing) were like soulless zombies.

It won't get better anytime soon.

However, there are also those that are as firm as a 'big nut'.

After a period of 'literary exchange', Anne Sherman and Lily Winston developed a deep CP (couple pairing) liking for Lily and formed a strong sisterhood.

Anne Sherman, supporting her back, slowly walked into the drawing room of Constantinople.

Lily Winston was confiding in Ellie, "George used to be so close to Lance and Locke, but now it seems like they've broken off their friendship. I... I feel so sad."

Li Aili advised, "This isn't your fault. After reading a bunch of erotic literature about colleagues, it's understandable to feel awkward seeing them. Wait a while, and once this passes, they'll make up..."

Unexpectedly, tears welled up in Lily's eyes. "Who's sad about this? I'm heartbroken for my CP. It's all... over."

As she spoke, a single tear fell, a sight that evoked pity in me.

Li Aili: "..."

She composed herself and then changed her perspective, offering advice in the tone of someone who's been through it all: "In life, who hasn't had their life fall apart a few times?"

At this moment, Anne Sherman, as if she had been subjected to some severe torture, slowly sat down on the soft sofa.

"Ah, Commander Balk let you out?" Li Aili asked with a mixture of sympathy and concern.

The one who suffered the most from this mishap was Anne Sherman.

Anne Sherman rolled her eyes. "If you don't let go, I'm going to die in bed."

Right under Balk's nose, the brotherhood between the knights was fabricated into a scandal, and his wife contributed a large number of obscene 'articles' to the story.

This was the first time Li Aili had ever seen such a "rich" expression on Commander Balk's face.

Then, Anne Sherman was carried home.

Commander Balk also requested to be "punished" at home.

Li Aili was so frightened that she almost thought Annie was going to be abused.

As a result, they sent Ba Jin Niu Tizi to check out Sherman's mansion...

According to the minotaur's report, even standing downstairs in the room, one can hear sounds that are inappropriate for children, which is really too exciting for the minotaur.

Li Aili's feelings at that time were extremely complicated.

This can also be considered another form of "domestic violence".

She could roughly guess what Commander Balk was thinking.

If we can weaken the troublemaking wife to the point where she has no energy to cause trouble, then no one will cause trouble in the future.

As the president of the Constantinople 'Literary Exchange Association', Li Aili solemnly inquired of the two exhausted 'vice presidents':

"So, should our 'literary society' continue?"

Unexpectedly, Anne Sherman, who had previously appeared "battle-worn," suddenly erupted in fierce "battle," exclaiming, "Of course!"

Lily bit her lip, her big, watery eyes slowly filling with a resolute fighting spirit. She raised her little fist and declared, "Life goes on, and so does our CP!"

Li Aili patted the sofa cushion, "Then, from today onwards, the 'Literary Exchange Meeting' will move 'underground'."

Anne suggested, "We need to develop a complete set of codes, and also, we need to move the transmission location to your alchemy shop in Central City."

As the ladies were plotting, Joanna, who was 'keeping watch' outside, immediately knocked on the door of the drawing room.

'Knock knock, knock.'

Upon hearing the knock on the door, the two visiting ladies reacted like cats with their fur standing on end, especially Anne, whose face turned pale.

Li Aili breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the agreed-upon code word, "It's alright, it's Conrad."

For the past two days, she had been avoiding the Duke. Every time she saw the Duke's dark gaze as he looked at her, she felt that this man was constantly thinking about how to 'take her right there and then'.

She even began to seriously consider the possibility of fleeing again.

“Madam,” Conrad said as he entered the drawing room, “your apprentice Jupiter Merck requests an audience.”

Li Aili then remembered Jupiter, her long-forgotten 'founding disciple'.

hateful!

The fanfiction written by the ladies is so good!

She became so engrossed in it that she neglected her "first disciple" for over a month.

Jupiter strode in.

Li Aili almost didn't recognize Jupiter when she saw his drastically changed appearance.

He shaved off all the long hair and beard that are typical of magicians, and got a neat buzz cut, paired with a small mustache that tightly circled his mouth, making him look more like a knight.

Li Aili: "..." (⊙o⊙)!

What exactly did her first disciple experience during this past month?

Jupiter stood awkwardly in front of Li Aili, "Teacher."

That heartfelt "Teacher" almost made Li Aili stand up.

"Hey, sit down. Look at me, I've been so busy with all the castle's internal affairs lately that I haven't had a chance to pay attention to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a death stare from Conrad, Anne, and Lily.

The bubbles above the heads of the three people were remarkably identical, indicating they were lying.

Jupiter quickly said, "Teacher, please don't say that!"

"During this time, with Edward's help, I also sorted myself out."

"This month has been invaluable to me. Without it, it would have been sinful for me to rashly dabble in the sacred art of alchemy!"

Li Aili: "..." Edward, you...

Jupiter stood up excitedly, waving his arms, and exclaimed, "Alchemy is great! It shouldn't be buried in obscurity!"

"Perfect timing! The Magical Exchange Summit is about to begin! I've decided to bring the magnificent [Potion of Freezing] to let these ignorant mages witness the wonders of alchemy!"
