Chapter 74: Love You to Death
Watching Arena’s series of actions, most people were almost shocked to the point of dropping their jaws, especially the nine magical girls desperately searching for a solution behind Arena. They were the closest and thus felt the impact the most. It could be said that they were completely astounded.
“Simplify the complicated.” Simira slowly recovered from her surprise, murmuring Arena’s previous words. She had walked this path before, however, not everything could be simplified. But this time, the opponent indeed applied the principle of simplification very aptly. Although achieving victory by dissecting numerous obstacles was gratifying, who would choose to take the previous path if there was a shortcut to winning directly?
“Well done, Arena, you’re amazing.”
“Genuine praise made Simira smile. Arena’s face turned pale, quickly lowering her head, afraid to meet Simira’s gaze because the clarity in her eyes could practically reflect her own shadow.”
“You’ve passed this round. You may go.”
“Yes.”
“The other judges glanced at Simira but didn’t pay much attention. Since Simira herself didn’t feel embarrassed, they wouldn’t be concerned either.”
In the audience.
“Arena, well done,” Tyr greeted the wind elf with a smile as he welcomed her. However, his expression immediately turned sour, glaring fiercely at Simira in the distance, saying.
“This old man is obviously making things difficult for you.”
“Thank you so much, Lord Tyr!” Suddenly, Arena excitedly smiled, her big eyes radiating a light that startled Tyr. Her two fair hands grabbed Tyr’s slightly rough palm, and she continued.
“If it weren’t for your foresight, Lord, informing me of the key points of this round in advance, I might have been eliminated already!”
“Key… key points? um, yes, indeed. After all, you haven’t been in the Empire for long, and I couldn’t let you go on stage without any preparation, could I? But your understanding still needs improvement… Let’s not dwell on that. Come, tell me what you’ve understood from this round.”
“Simplify complexities. Everything has its starting point and destination. As long as you find a way to shorten the journey and take a different path, you can achieve double the results with half the effort! You’re truly amazing.”
“Oh… I see. Well, um, not bad, not bad at all. Although your comprehension is lacking a bit, the summary is still pretty good. So now you understand my good intentions, right?”
“Yes!”
“Well, if you dare to make a sour face at me again next time, I won’t teach you anything.”
“I… I swear in the name of the Elven God that I will never ignore Lord Tyr’s words again! I will definitely humbly accept and understand every meaning in Lord Tyr’s words.”
“No no no, there’s no need to be so formal. You’ll make me feel embarrassed. Alright, let’s go down. Judging by the trend of this competition, there might not even be a hundred people, so it shouldn’t be our turn.”
“Yes.”
“Miss Yuehai, I think you should go take a bath,” Claude expressed his concern as he followed behind Yuehai, his brows furrowing at the filthy liquid on her arm, as if it were tarnishing his own soul.
“But, it seems like there’s no shower in the room,” Yuehai looked around, hoping to find a good place to wash off the liquid on her arm.
Claude pondered for a moment and then suddenly answered.
“I remember there’s a women’s bathhouse built underground in this building. I saw quite a few female mages going down there earlier. I think Miss Yuehai can go check it out.”
As soon as the words fell, Yuehai, who was walking ahead, immediately stopped in her tracks.
Turning her head stiffly, her eyes bloodshot, Yuehai stared at Claude.
“What did you say?”
“Um.” Apparently startled by the sudden momentum, Claude hesitated for a moment before answering.
“I think if I’m not mistaken, there is indeed a women’s bathhouse underground.”
“The next sentence!” Yuehai’s momentum was overwhelming, her eyes shining brightly.
“Well, it seems like I saw many female mages going down there.” Claude obediently replied. As soon as he said that, Yuehai couldn’t contain herself anymore. Her entire face softened, and she lightly floated over to Claude’s side, patting his shoulder.
“That’s so considerate of you! I love you!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Claude felt like he had been struck by a thunderbolt, with the phrase “I love you to death” echoing relentlessly in his mind.
Yuehai loves me to death? Love? Death? What does that mean? Is it some kind of friendly greeting?
Ignoring Claude, who was now completely petrified, Yuehai hurriedly ran towards the basement.
She couldn’t help but feel inwardly resigned. Since her body had already become like this, how could she not let me feast my eyes and make up for the mental loss I suffered? Yes, this is to make up for my mental loss, not peeping!
