Chapter 189 Weird...erotic dream?
Shu Li followed his gaze and looked down in confusion, only to find that her chest was half exposed. Her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and she pulled her shirt tightly together awkwardly, saying sheepishly, "I... just changed my clothes to go to bed..."
Ace frowned and said apologetically, "Excuse me."
"Oh, no, no. I'll get you a magic wand." Shu Li quickly turned around to get the magic wand next to the shelf and returned it to the human classmate.
Ace took the magic wand and said gently, "Good night."
"Good night." Shu Li stood at the door, watched him leave, closed the door and locked it, then jumped onto the bed, lay straight on the quilt, and let out a long sigh.
That was a close call!
It was almost exposed.
Alcohol is indeed a harmful thing that makes people easily let down their guard. From now on, he must never touch alcohol casually, otherwise his identity as a demon will be exposed, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Shu Li moved, lay down in the quilt, yawned, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
One little duck, two little ducks, three little ducks, four little ducks... one hundred little ducks...
It’s over. I can’t sleep.
He lifted the quilt and sat up, shaking his head irritably, and reached out to touch his smooth chest.
It’s really... so strange!
He had always gone to the Amitai Mountains with the fairies to soak in hot springs since he was a child, and he had never felt ashamed of being naked. But why did his heart start pounding when Ace looked at his chest just now?
Because of this inexplicable throbbing, he couldn't sleep.
Shu Li held his cheeks, pouting, puzzled. After a while, he sighed, lay down again, and forced himself to sleep.
He didn't know if it was the alcohol, but his consciousness finally became blurred. He turned over, hugged the soft quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
Then, he had a dream.
In the dream, I was a few years older than I am now, wearing a high-end and gorgeous magic robe, holding a top-level magic wand, and running in a palace full of wreckage with a panic look on my face.
When he encountered a huge stone pillar lying on the ground, he recited a simple spell and waved his magic wand. The stone pillar moved away instantly to make way for him.
He continued to run deeper into the palace, but felt the speed was too slow, so he spread the wings behind him and flew half a foot off the ground.
The road ahead was like a maze, and no matter how he flew, he could not reach the end. He was like a headless fly, spinning in the unknown corridor.
To Shu Li now, this is a very unfamiliar palace. It is even more magnificent than the Crystal Castle in the Elf Kingdom, and it seems like the Palace of the Gods that he saw when he traveled through time and space before.
However, the palace was empty, with only myself in the dream flying around, as if looking for something.
When Shu Li thought he would continue wandering in the palace corridor, he finally stopped in his dream.
He sighed, and he sighed in his dream too.
It was a magnificent palace, its pillars and walls inlaid with precious crystals and exquisite ornaments. Normally, in his dreams, he would have admired it with reverence, but at this moment, he was consumed with anxiety, desperate to find the person who haunted him.
Shu Li didn't know who that person was. Affected by herself in the dream, her breathing became rapid and she was terrified. It felt as if her heart was being grabbed by an invisible hand and she could suffocate at any time.
In his dream, he tiptoed and landed lightly on the ground, then walked into the palace on the gravel. Gradually, he saw the ruins caused by the fierce battle, and... a blond elf sitting in front of a stone pillar.
"Fris..."
In his dream, he hurried over, knelt heavily on the ground, and reached out to hug the Elf King who was covered in blood.
The Elf King raised his hand, gently stroked his hair, and whispered, "Don't cry."
In his dream, he let go of the Elf King slightly, wiped the tears from his face with the back of his hand, sniffed, lowered his head and sobbed: "That's great... You're not dead..."
As he spoke, he leaned forward with tearful eyes and kissed the Elf King on the lips.
When their lips were about to touch, Shu Li suddenly woke up.
His body trembled, his eyes widened, and he stared at the simple ceiling of the cabin.
What happened? Why did he kiss the noble Elf King in his dream?
Shu Li's brain seemed to have crashed and was slow to react, making a "cracking" sound as if it was about to smoke.
He was frightened by himself in his dream.
Regardless of what the sad scene in the dream was, the image of him kissing the Elf King was enough to shock him for ten thousand years.
Shu Li turned over and sat up, turning his head to look at the small window beside the bed. It was already dawn, and the river was reflecting the colorful clouds, sparkling.
He was dazed, and he had a strange dream all night.
Shu Li held her head in confusion, and when she touched the small corolla that had returned to its original shape, she was suddenly stunned.
Just...that was a dream, not a time travel, right?
If it was a dream, it could be said to be fake, but if it was a time travel... then it would be very bad.
It must be a dream! It must be a dream!
Shu Li shook her head vigorously, trying to throw the scene of herself kissing the Elf King out of her mind.
How could he be disrespectful to the Elf King?
Even during adolescence, when we are growing up, we cannot treat the king as...an object!
"Hiss——" His head shook so violently that it hit the wall.
He covered his forehead and collapsed on the bed weakly, like a dried salted fish, with no desire to live.
“Knock knock knock—”
There was a knock on the door and he started.
"Who, who is it?"
"Sperian, are you awake?" Angel's voice came from outside.
Shu Li breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "Awake, awake."
He wiped his face, temporarily forgetting everything in his dream, and got out of bed to get dressed.
After taking care of himself, he took his magic wand and left the cabin.
The little friends are all up, and they are all in high spirits. They chat with their arms around each other and laugh happily from time to time.
Shu Li greeted them and couldn't help but glance at Ace.
He was as handsome as ever, his golden hair combed meticulously and draped softly behind him. He wore an ordinary forehead ring, showing his noble temperament, and his emerald green eyes sparkled like gems.
As if noticing his gaze, Ace turned and looked over.
Shu Li quickly looked away, put her arm around Budno's shoulder with a smile, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No!" Budno touched his flat stomach. "Let's go to the restaurant and eat! We can work better after we're full."
"Okay." Shu Li called out to the others and was the first to leave the second floor of the bridge building and walk towards the first floor.
Ace looked at his back, a smile flashing in his eyes.
Johnny was so happy last night that most of the wine went into his stomach. Even though the sun was burning his butt, he was still sleeping soundly on the bed in the cabin.
He was the master, so naturally no one dared to wake him up.
The Light Team enjoyed a delicious breakfast to their heart's content. Afterwards, they went to the deck and cast a spell to increase the speed of the cargo ship.
Today they have to speed up their sailing speed and try to reach the royal city before dark.
After discussing it at dinner last night, Johnny wanted to return to the royal city as soon as possible to create a time difference so that Bede wouldn't find out that he was not dead and do something secretly.
This time he wanted to strike first and catch his opponent off guard.
Since the employer strongly requested it, the magic apprentices will take turns enchanting the cargo ship today.
With the protection of light magic and the acceleration of wind and water magic, the cargo ship glided along the river at lightning speed, leaving other ships far behind.
The sunset arrived as promised, and the golden light filled the dock of the royal city of Adilan. Various river boats entered the port one after another, and passenger ships and cargo ships docked separately. Porters ran back and forth busily, and passengers lined up to get off the boat. The foreign visitors who came to the royal city for the first time looked around curiously, full of novelty.
Graves was a famous merchant in the royal city, with an exclusive docking spot at the pier. The staff in charge of the reception spotted a gleaming cargo ship that had nimbly found a gap and successfully docked at the shore, and they all came forward in amazement.
When they saw the familiar black panther emblem on the bow of the ship, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
Whose cargo ship is this? Why wasn't there any advance notice? Also, what is that light shield surrounding the cargo ship? Is it magic?
As the staff were confused, the light shield disappeared, and Master Johnny, who was supposed to arrive in Wangcheng two days later, stood at the bow of the boat with high spirits, spread his arms, and shouted excitedly: "Wangcheng, I'm back!"
"Master Johnny is back!"
"Master Johnny has returned safely!"
"Johnny returned safely to the royal city of Adilan with a fully loaded cargo ship."
The news of Johnny's return spread like wildfire to the Graves family, with some rejoicing and others mourning.
Johnny's parents and sister had been worried for more than a month, and when they learned that he had returned to the royal city early, they cried with joy.
Bede angrily broke an expensive piece of china, and the other cousins understood what was happening.
When the cargo ship arrived at the dock, there were people moving the cargo without Johnny's command, and sending it back to the Graves family's warehouse one truck after another.
Johnny warmly invited the Light Team to visit his home.
Shu Li politely declined the offer, but Johnny kept persuading him. His home had many guest rooms, ten times better than a hotel's, and he was treating them to a feast that evening. Furthermore, as a token of his gratitude, each of the seven of them could choose one of his treasures from his storehouse.
The offer was so tempting that it was hard to refuse. After discussing it with his teammates, Shu Li agreed to his invitation.
Johnny waved his hand generously, rented two large carriages, and happily took his savior into the royal city.
Shu Li came here eight years ago.
The prosperity of the Adilan Kingdom far surpassed that of other cities. Its dense population, magnificent buildings, wide streets, and countless shops were home to affluent nobles and wealthy merchants, with no trace of poverty visible. Even the common people walking the streets were more neatly dressed than those in other cities.
The little elves and the little dragon lay in front of the car windows, enjoying the cultural scenery on the street with great interest in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Kumandi held a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, recording everything he saw and heard in detail.
Seeing this, Shu Li couldn't help but sigh.
As expected, she is a top student who never forgets to study.
The carriage passed through several busy streets and finally arrived at the Graves family's mansion.
Of course, they weren't VIPs, just mercenaries hired by Johnny, and the gate to the mansion wouldn't be open to them. Johnny went through the side door as usual.
At Shu Li's request, he did not make a big fuss, but took people home in a low-key manner.
The Graves family was large, and their residence was large, like a manor. Johnny's parents were the fifth in line and lived in a villa fifty meters away from the main house.
Upon receiving the news that Johnny had returned home, the servants stood at the door early to greet him.
His parents and thirteen-year-old sister were looking forward to it, and when they saw the carriage approaching from afar, they smiled with joy.
When the carriage arrived at the door, Johnny was the first to get off. He opened his arms and warmly hugged his parents and little sister.
"Oh, my dear mother, I haven't seen you for more than a month. You are getting more and more beautiful! Oh, lovely little Linda, have you grown taller? Dad, your beard is still so thick and prickly."
"You little brat, you're so slick and so dishonest as soon as you get back." Yax slapped his son's shoulder hard.
"Bonnie, let mom take a look. Are you hurt?" Jerry looked distressed as she checked her son's body up and down.
Marian, the younger sister, made a face at her brother. "Stinky brother, don't call me by my nickname!"
The family was having a great time, which made Shu Li, who was standing in front of the carriage, extremely envious.
He couldn't help but think of his parents and brothers.
He wondered how they were doing now, whether they were crying because of his accident. He had spent eighteen years here, but how much longer had passed in his old world? He prayed every day that time flowed at an unequal rate in the two worlds, so that his parents and brothers would be sadder for a shorter period of time.
The little goblin has no parents, so he cannot understand the blood-thicker-than-water kinship.
Little elves like Discio and Angel were attracted by the beautiful garden and villa and looked at them curiously.
Amanda was hungry and all she could think about was food.
Only Ace noticed Shu Li's lost expression and raised his hand to cover his shoulder.
Shu Li came back to his senses and turned to stare at his human classmates in surprise.
Ace smiled faintly, his eyes gentle and full of tolerance.
Unconsciously, the sadness in Shu Li's heart faded. He blinked his eyes and showed a lovely smile.
After hugging his family, Johnny introduced the magic apprentices behind him one by one, and used passionate and vivid words to describe the thrilling scene when they encountered the pirates, and how the magic apprentices used powerful magic to fight back and beat the pirates to a pulp.
Yax and Jerry were horrified to learn that their son had encountered bandits. Then they heard from their son that seven magic apprentices had joined forces to defeat the bandits and allowed the cargo ship to return to the royal city early. They thanked him repeatedly and called on the servants to quickly arrange accommodation for the guests.
When thirteen-year-old Marian saw the seven handsome boys, her face turned slightly red and her eyes moved around busily.
The rich businessman is worthy of being a rich businessman. He lives in a wealthy family and is extravagant everywhere. The living room is filled with expensive decorations and the handrails of the stairs are plated with gold.
Led by the servants, Team Light went up to the second floor, where each person was assigned a guest room.
The rooms have already been cleaned and are ready for occupancy.
Shu Li smiled happily when she saw the private bathroom in the guest room.
Great, he can finally take a bath!
The conditions on the cargo ship are limited. You can only wipe your body but not take a bath. This is a painful torture for the little goblin who loves cleanliness.
Now seeing the bathroom in the guest room, Shu Li rushed in to take a shower without saying a word.
There is a large wooden barrel filled with clean water in the bathroom, which is more than enough for guests to wash and take a bath.
However, Shu Li always liked to use magic when taking a bath, and taking a shower was more enjoyable.
He hummed a cheerful song as he let the warm water wash over his body. The bathroom was filled with steam and the water under his feet flowed directly into the floor drain.
After washing for more than half an hour, he left the bathroom feeling refreshed and hung the washed magic robe on the shelf next to the wardrobe.
“Knock knock knock—”
There was a polite knock on the door. Shu Li thought it was a friend, so she went to open the door wearing loose clothes.
"Well?"
He quickly stepped back when he saw the girl in a maid outfit.
"Hello, sir. These are the clothes that the young master asked me to give you." The maid was holding a tray with a stack of new clothes and a pair of shoes on it.
Shu Li was surprised: "I didn't ask for clothes!"
The maid placed the tray on the table and said respectfully, "The master said this is one of the thank you gifts."
Without waiting for Shu Li's response, the maid bowed, swiftly left the room, and closed the door behind her.
Shu Li stood there, touching the back of his head, looking down at the brand new clothes and shoes on the tray.
Johnny is a good employer and is easy to get along with.
Shu Li picked up the new clothes and found that it was a magic robe of very good quality and style. The lace shirt underneath was made of silk and felt soft.
Although it is not as good as the fairy's clothes, it has reached the standard of the upper class.
Shu Li put on his clothes and shoes, and stood in front of the mirror. What a handsome young man he looked like.
The blue magic robe made his skin look even whiter, his dyed black hair fell like a waterfall, and his gray-green eyes were as bright as stars.
It is true that Buddha needs golden ornaments and people need clothes.
Shu Li raised her hand and touched the small flower crown that had turned into a hairpin. She chanted a spell, and the hairpin changed its shape into a dark golden forehead ring with a green gem inlaid in the middle.
After getting ready, Shu Li went out in high spirits. Coincidentally, the door of the opposite room opened and Ace came out.
The human classmate looked radiant after taking a bath. Like him, he put on a new magic robe. His golden hair was soft and shiny, and his green eyes were bright. When he looked at him, his gaze was gentle, full of warmth and comfort.
Shu Li sighed.
If human classmates were equipped with a pair of long pointed ears, they would look exactly like elves.
Shu Li waved and greeted him with a smile.
“Ka-ka-ka—”
The doors of other rooms opened almost at the same time, and the children came out full of energy after taking a shower and wearing new clothes.
Johnny went upstairs and was delighted to see Team Light wearing the new magic robes he had given them.
He always felt that these seven magic apprentices were extraordinary. They were wearing gray clothes before, like dusty gems, but now they were wearing beautiful magic robes. As expected, each of them had an elegant temperament and was no less impressive than him, the son of a wealthy businessman.
No, it even has an indescribable nobility.
They are indeed not ordinary magic apprentices.
Although Johnny was curious about their identities, he wisely did not ask any further questions and instead cordially invited them downstairs for dinner.
Knowing that they didn't like big ceremonies, Johnny told his mother not to make it too grand, but to just prepare some fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as a variety of roasted, stewed, and fried meats.
However, the attentive Mrs. Jerry made delicious toast and oatmeal cakes, which were loved by the goblins.
The meal was very pleasant. As they ate and chatted, the little girl Marian pestered her brother to repeat the story of the magic apprentice fighting the pirates.
Yax had been on many waterways before and knew the dangers of pirates. Seeing his son return unharmed, he was incredibly grateful to Team Light. Upon learning his son was going to open his own vault and let them choose treasures, he generously clapped his hands and said, "What valuables could you possibly have in your vault? Take mine!"
After drinking, he was full of generosity and invited the Light Team to follow him to his vault.
Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Team Light had no choice but to follow their host to the underground treasure room.
Yax took out the key and opened the doors of the treasure house one by one. The last door was actually inlaid with a magic stone, activating the magic circle.
Finally, the stone door slowly opened, and the jewels and precious stones inside almost blinded everyone's eyes.
The little dragon, who loves treasures, had shining eyes. He swallowed his saliva and became a little eager to try something.
Angel put his arm around Amanda's shoulders and whispered two words into his ear: "Calm down."
Amanda looked shy.
There’s nothing we can do about it, dragons just like shiny treasures!
Yax was very confident in his collection and was confident that his guests would be satisfied. Of course, there were some treasures he was reluctant to give away, and he specifically excluded certain items from his collection.
Shu Li was a man of measure. He would never touch anything his master forbade him to. Besides, as a little fairy, what kind of treasure had he not seen? The items in his own storage ring were priceless, several times more than those in this treasure room.
However, the host insisted on giving them gifts to express his gratitude, so they had to try to choose inexpensive things.
Shu Li walked around, hesitant. His friends picked out things they liked one by one, but he was the only one who couldn't make up his mind.
Seeing him standing in front of a shelf in a daze, Ace pointed at a rusty sword on it and asked, "Do you want this sword?"
"Huh? Sword?" Shu Li came back to his senses and looked at the sword he was pointing at.
What a tattered sword!
Except for a large gem inlaid on the hilt, the blade was completely rusted and its original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
Why did Master Yax put such an old sword in the treasure room?
However, it looks the least valuable, so choose it!
Shu Li nodded: "I think it's good."
He reached out and carefully took the sword from the rack, held it up and examined it, then asked in confusion, "Is there no scabbard?"
Without a scabbard, it is difficult to carry unless it is placed in a storage item.
They earned a large sum of money and could go to the magic armor shop to buy an ordinary storage bag tomorrow morning.
How can a magic apprentice not have a storage bag?
"Ask Master Yax." Ace said.
Yax, with his sharp ears, heard his name mentioned and walked over to Shuli and Ace. "What do you want to ask me?"
Shu Li pointed at the rusty sword in his hand and said politely, "I wonder if it has a scabbard."
"Oh... this sword..." Yax said suddenly, "I don't remember if it has a scabbard."
He searched around but didn't find any trace of a scabbard. He stroked his beard and said to the young magic apprentice, "This sword is worthless. Pick another one!"
He even forgot why he put a broken sword into the treasure room.
"No, I like this sword very much." Shu Li smiled and gently stroked the rusty sword. Suddenly, his finger was cut and he exclaimed.
No way?
Even though it's rusty, it's still so sharp!
Seeing the blood, Shu Li stuffed the sword into Ace's hand and squeezed the blood from his wound immediately.
If your finger is cut by a rusty iron sword, you must squeeze out the blood and clean it as soon as possible to prevent tetanus.
"Sperian, are you okay?" The friends gathered around and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, the wound is not deep, just clean it up." Shu Li said.
Yax felt bad, so he picked out a fist-sized crystal as compensation, and asked Shu Li to return to the living room as soon as possible because he had disinfectant at home.
Shu Li agreed.
Everyone has chosen their gifts and it's time to leave.
The others got one treasure, but he got two, a rusty sword and a beautiful crystal.
After treating his wound, he went back to his room with Ace, who helped him get his things.
"Thank you, Ace." Shu Li said to the human classmate, "Just put it on the table."
Ace gently placed the sword and crystal on the table and asked with concern, "Does your finger still hurt?"
Shu Li shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
It's just a small cut, it will heal tomorrow. If that doesn't work, he can just cast a light healing spell.
Ace said gently, "Rest early today."
Shu Li smiled and said, "Okay, you too!"
Ace nodded and prepared to leave.
Shu Li stood in front of the table, looking down at the blood-stained rusty sword. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he called out to his human classmates, "Ace, wait, come here quickly."
"What's wrong?" Ace returned to the table and stood beside him.
"Sword...sword..." Shu Li pointed at the sword on the table.
The sword that should have been rusty suddenly turned a snow-white blade that was so shiny that you could see through it. The hilt was silver-white, and the gems inlaid on it were dazzling. Blue magic patterns flowed all over the sword, releasing an imposing aura.
Ace's green eyes flickered as he read the elven words on the blade: "Sword of Viona—"
Shu Li's ears moved in shock.
The Sword of Viona?
Isn't that one of the five magic swords?
