The Girls Are All Coveting Me

"Seriously, getting wasted at a gathering without worrying about the consequences."

Lilith, finally freed from Mi Octopus Sela, was drenched in a fragrant sweat.

Laura downed her beer in one gulp, laughing out loud:

"As if she'd get drunk in front of others. It's because she knows you won't leave her hanging."

"Tch, like you need to say that," Lilith replied stubbornly, but her eyes softened.

To her, Miseria was a cherished friend.

"I'll leave taking her back to the dorm to you."

"Alright, what about Rephya?"

"I'll take her to Amber Hall? I've arranged a room for her there."

Chloe stretched lazily and said.

The Beauty President turned her head and gave him a meaningful look.

A bit annoyed.

Now Chloe wasn't nesting with her but running off to nest with other girls, huh.

So frustrating!

But Lilith wasn't in a position to say that.

After all, she couldn't just jump out and say, "Hey, darling, I'm your walnut," right?

So the President could only say:

"Then I'll go with you to take her back."

Especially since Rephya was a freshman, and no one in the Association knew which dorm she lived in.

...

After the event ended.

Those who were still sober took their acquaintances home.

Chloe called a cab with Fufu and Lilith to make a trip to Amber Hall.

Mainly to settle a certain drunken dunce, Xiaolu.

Rephya, who was sleeping in a daze, kept muttering in her sleep, "Senior Sister Fufu, save me," and occasionally said, "Chloe Senior is really a bad guy."

The expressions of the two women helping the dazed Xiaolu became more complex as they looked at Chloe.

Fufu sighed helplessly and said:

"What did you do to her?"

Chloe raised both hands and said:

"I've been wronged. I didn't do anything at all."

When it comes to Xiaolu, no one is as innocent as he is.

"I know," Fufu said helplessly, "I just didn't expect her to cling to you like the Vice-President clings to someone."

Lilith said speechlessly:

"Why drag me into this? When has Miseria ever clung to me?"

Fufu snorted lightly and said no more.

With a look that said "if you say so."

She gently lifted Rephya and carried her to the room Chloe had prepared for Xiaolu.

After tucking her in, the three of them left the room.

Lilith, who had also drunk a bit, pinched the bridge of her nose and frowned, saying:

"Chloe, let's discuss the plans for the day after tomorrow's trip. There are too many students in the group, and the mentors alone might not be enough to handle them."

Chloe nodded and said:

"I've brought some newcomers too. They'll probably have their share on the road."

He turned to Fufu and said:

"Sister Fufu, I'll discuss something with you later."

The Beauty President stretched, revealing her graceful figure, turned around, and waved her hand, saying:

"Alright, you two chat first. By the way, Chloe, can I grab a drink from you?"

"The bar is over there, help yourself."

"Okay."

She needed a change of taste.

At Mayer Restaurant, the drinks were a bit too mixed.

She had been to Amber Hall before and knew Chloe had left a variety of drinks at the bar.

She planned to mix herself a mojito to sober up.

—Although mojitos aren't really known for sobering anyone up.

After Lilith left.

Fufu looked at Chloe with sparkling eyes and said coquettishly:

"You didn't drink too much today, did you?"

"No, you know I don't like drinking. It's just today everyone was so happy, so I joined in for fun."

If today's gathering had been with company leaders or something, he'd definitely claim he was allergic to alcohol.

But today's gathering was with his friends.

Some of them he knew very well.

Like the dorm buddies, that Dead Fatty gang took turns trying to drink him under the table.

But Fatty didn't know, with all his stacked talents, the last time Ke got drunk...

Was at the celebration party after the Seven Heroes defeated the Fear Demon God.

The wine he drank back then was traded by the fairies from the Wine God.

Thinking back on the taste of that Divine Wine, he felt a bit nostalgic.

Divine Wine, now that was a proper drink.

"On this trip to Menilanka, if everything goes smoothly, I should be able to acquire an Extraordinary Trait that's perfect for you.

Sister Fufu, once you have that, you can start preparing to break through to Sequence Seven."

The extraordinary traits he mentioned were the rewards for Old Master Fox's mission.

Extraordinary Traits: [Shadow Poem]

Fufu was stunned.

Seeing the boy's clean and earnest gaze, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed.

"Mm, I'll break through as soon as possible."

There was no embarrassed refusal.

She knew that for Chloe, if she didn't quickly catch up to his progress, he would only feel worse.

She stood on tiptoe and left a gentle kiss on his lips.

"I won't fall behind too long, Chloe."

"Then I'll look forward to it, Sister Fufu."

...

After seeing Fufu off at Amber Hall, Chloe finally approached the bar.

Lilith was sipping on a straw, enjoying a freshly made mojito.

"Finished chatting?"

"Mm, next we should talk about our matters."

Chloe looked up at Lilith.

Perhaps because she had some drinks at the restaurant, there was a blush on her face.

Under the bar's lights, her delicate and fair face seemed like a frozen beauty from a painting.

Lilith pushed a glass towards him.

Not hers.

Another drink she mixed separately.

Chloe took a sip.

It seemed like a cocktail, but the alcohol flavor was very mild.

Yet, surprisingly, it tasted quite good.

Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Lilith's corner lips slightly rose:

"Looks like you're quite satisfied?"

Chloe nodded and said:

"For someone who doesn't like alcohol, saying it's good is the highest praise I can give for a drink."

Lilith flattened the straw with her teeth, lightly chuckled and said:

"I don't like drinking either, but my sleep is not very good. Drinking alcoholic beverages helps me fall asleep."

Amber Hall was completely dark at the time.

Only the bar area was lit.

Chloe did not particularly like this kind of environment.

This would exacerbate his sense of insecurity.

"No need to turn on the lights."

Lilith snapped her fingers, and the Fantasy Power spread out.

Instantly, small night lamps appeared out of nowhere in the pitch-black Amber Hall, hanging on the walls.

These were fabricated by Spiritual Energy, creating fictitious objects.

Yet precisely these fictitious objects made the silent Amber Hall suddenly warm up.

"The Fantasy Path is indeed handy."

Chloe couldn't help but praise.

The corridor brightened by the night lamps now felt more atmospheric.

However, Lilith somehow pulled out a flashlight and placed it under her chin.

The flashlight's light cast a ghostly pallor across her face:

"Warm, is it? Now I'm here to seek revenge on you!"

Chloe laughed heartily.

The ghost-playing Beauty President seemed less aloof, and more adorable than usual.

"Honestly, when you asked to talk to me alone tonight, I thought something troubling might happen."

Lilith raised her brows and said:

"Why, am I some Enchanting Demon who devours men alive? You always approach me with caution."

Chloe waved his hands to indicate otherwise.

He was, in fact, wary of everything.

That's how outsiders are.

Leaving the environment he originally lived in, even with 18 years of memories of this world, he couldn't change the void rooted in his heart.

In every midnight dream, when awakened by a nightmare, he realized clearly that this wasn't his hometown.

"I'm actually curious, why is President so persistent with me?"

Chloe sighed and said:

"We aren't even in a particularly close relationship, but you still seek me out. To be honest...it's very strange."

"Strange?" Lilith shook her glass, smiling as she spoke, "It's normal for you to feel strange, I feel strange too."

"Mm?"

"For me, I've never had much interest in this world, living or dying doesn't matter.

It's like accidentally falling into a book; though I'm curious about many things, it's the curiosity a reader has for a book.

I wouldn't naturally expect the life within the book.

After finishing this book, I might feel a bit melancholic, but it's just melancholy.

Next time, I would still start a new book."

She finished her mojito in one gulp and then said:

"But now I want to linger at this moment."
