Chapter 57: Enhanced Chicken Talisman and Object Control! Felicia's Heartfelt Confession!
"Stop kicking me!"
"Ah—!! Stop kicking me!"
Ryan, his face twitching in pain, collapsed on the ground, unable to get up.
He was still being kicked by the combined assault of Ye Li and Felicia.
The more they kicked, the more it hurt him,
The more it hurt, the louder he screamed,
The louder he screamed, the more they kicked...
What made it worse—his Goddess was right there passionately kissing someone, with the man's hands wandering...
…..
Underfoot, Felicia didn't forget to stomp on Ryan's palm, grinding it viciously.
As if crushing his dignity under her foot.
Under the double torment of physical and psychological pain.
Ryan, summoning strength from who knows where, broke free from the shoe's pressure and suddenly stood up!
And then—!
Um... he ran away.
He was terrified!
Never in his life had he suffered such humiliation!
…..
Felicia opened her dreamy light-purple eyes.
She glanced at Ryan fleeing in disgrace... then closed her eyes again, ignoring him.
Just a clown... it's more important to snuggle and kiss Ye Li~
Ye Li, his back turned to Ryan, had a glint in his eye as the corner of his bitten lip curled into a faint cold smile—
—You offended Hardy and still think you can leave?
Meanwhile, Ryan stumbled as he ran.
Suddenly, the ground underfoot vanished—somehow, the manhole cover had been moved!
"Damn it! Which scumbag did this?!"
Falling into the sewage, Ryan cursed loudly!
He thought the blood and filth on his face had blurred his vision, causing him to fall.
As he struggled to get out, a sudden force from behind pushed him down—!
"Mm!! Mmm! Mmm..."
Ryan, pressed by this unseen force, couldn't move in the sewage and drowned in the sewer.
Ye Li, after finishing him off, withdrew the power of the Chicken Talisman.
The Chicken Talisman.
Its original ability was merely levitation.
But after enhancement—
It now possessed powerful object-control capabilities!
Earlier, Felicia felt invisible hands guiding her; and the mysterious force that killed Ryan.
Naturally, it was all Ye Li's doing.
…..
"Li..."
At this moment,
Felicia hesitantly spoke, "I want... to borrow...."
After forcing out a few words, she couldn't continue, closing her beautiful eyes and biting her flushed lips...
Her cold, charming face rarely showed such sorrow, evoking a pang of pity...
Felicia still hesitated.
The man she admired had now become her pillar of support.
If circumstances allowed, she really didn't want... their relationship to involve money.
Ye Li knew what she wanted to say.
But he didn't directly point it out.
Instead, he seized the opportunity and gently guided her.
"Felicia..."
"Mmm..."
"What are you thinking?"
"I can..."
"Mmm..."
"...Alright then."
Right now, Felicia was fully focused on pouring out her love, constantly interrupting his spellcasting.
[Felicia Hardy's 'Connection' quest triggered: Prevent Walter Hardy from being abducted.]
The system popped up again.
"Alright, alright, let's stop here for now."
Although reluctant,
Ye Li still gently pushed aside Felicia's head, which clung to him stubbornly—her current emotions weren't normal.
"Li... don't you like me?"
Seeing Ye Li's actions, Felicia lowered her delicate brows, looking pitiful and heartbroken.
She murmured weakly, "Why won't you let me continue..."
Ye Li: "..."
Girl, how long have you been clinging... If this drags on, your dad's going to get abducted.
"Felicia, aren't you curious to ask~"
Ye Li teased, twirling a few strands of her silver hair around his fingers, "why I came to find you?"
"Why... why is that..."
Seeing Ye Li's playful demeanor, Felicia thought he was about to confess his love.
Her heartbeat quickened as she leaned against his chest and murmured.
"You suddenly appeared like a superhero... I think I've fallen for you... my hero..."
"...I think."
Ye Li kindly reminded her, "...even without me, you probably could have beaten that guy half to death."
"Hmm... actually, he was probably already half-dead when I got there—his nose was flattened."
"Then..."
Felicia gently raised her head and said firmly, "Then it's still because of what you taught me! Anyway, I just like you!"
Ye Li: ...As expected, girls experiencing their first crushes love without reason—they'll always find an excuse.
Forget it~
The quest can wait for now.
Anyway, even if the Black Cat template merges, it won't offer him much improvement anymore.
Ye Li bent down slightly,
One hand supporting Felicia's shoulder and the other under her knees, lifting her into a princess carry—
"Is there anyone home?"
"What... what are you planning to do?"
Felicia felt both nervous and expectant...
"My mom is still at home, and she's probably in a really bad mood right now, so you'd better not..."
