Mirel looked pitiful: "I really know I was wrong."
"It's good you know you're wrong." Li Zheng sat by the egg-shell bed, looked around and found no chair, so he simply let Mirel continue standing: "Just right, I have so questions to ask you."
Mirel ca over, squatted by his leg, and gently tapped his leg: "Ask away."
Li Zheng felt a bit uneasy and stopped her: "You're not my servant, there's no need to do this, and you are not allowed to in the future!"
"Oh." Mirel got up conveniently and sat down beside him, her left hand unconsciously resting on Li Zheng's leg.
Li Zheng frowned, pushed her hand away, and moved over a seat.
Mirel followed along, also moving one seat over, continuing to stick close to Li Zheng: "Aren't you going to ask questions?"
"..." Li Zheng stood up from the egg-shell bed: "Why are you always sticking to ?"
Mirel's face was full of innocence: "You used to hold and sleep together, now I'm just sitting close to you, why are you so disgusted by ?"
"Huh?"
Li Zheng scratched his head: "Did I ever do sothing so shaless?"
Recalling carefully, his face instantly turned red.
Damn, I used to consider Mirel as a naive kid, to take care of her I really did let her sleep in the sa bed with , sotis, as a habit, I'd even hold her in my arms...
But back then I didn't realize there was anything wrong with it, after all, who would have indecent thoughts about a child?!
But now, realizing it, it does seem inappropriate.
"Well... ahem, the past is the past, today is different from yesterday, we'd better maintain a certain social distance." Li Zheng awkwardly felt uncomfortable all over.
Mirel curiously looked at him for a while: "You don't like adults, you only like kids, right?"
"Shut up!" Li Zheng's forehead veins bulged, urgently yelling: "I'm definitely not that kind of person!"
Mirel picked at her ear: "If not, then not, why are you yelling so loudly?"
"No matter what, our moral values must be correct!" Li Zheng said seriously: "The 'Zheng' in my na not only ans to be proper but also to have correct values, so I'm a normal person, absolutely no weird hobbies!"
Mirel feigned a seductive pose and said enchantingly: "You just said I'm pretty, that you like my type."
Li Zheng broke into a sweat: "I was using you as an example to clear up a misunderstanding with Zi Yuan!"
I've often heard people say that fox demons are the most bewitching, but now I just want to say those people are talking nonsense!
Obviously, Enchanting Demons are the deadliest!
If it weren't for using spiritual power to resist, even soone like who's lived with Mirel for a long ti would find it hard to withstand.
Refreshing his spiritual power, Li Zheng closed his eyes and drove away all distracting thoughts.
Soon, his mind was clear, and he regained his composure.
Turning around, he released his bed, making the already small room feel more cramped, with the narrow corridor giving a suffocating feeling.
Li Zheng missed the days when he could live in a capsule residence, but unfortunately, in the Outer City, it's not possible to set up a capsule residence.
"Huh?"
Thinking of the features of the capsule residence, Li Zheng's expression changed: "This kind of high-tech item must also be a blueprint opened from a box by the Terminal."
"Didn't you just say you have questions to ask?" Mirel sat up straight and said: "Go ahead and ask."
Li Zheng looked at her for a mont: "I'm thinking of suggesting to the Terminal to release those races stranded in the Matrix again, to give them a chance to compete to enter the Outer City. Do you want to go back to help the Abyss race?"
Mirel was stunned when she heard that: "Will the Terminal agree?"
"It probably will." Li Zheng thought for a mont and said: "From what I've learned these days, Blue Star players are progressing far faster than previous players, and soon they can all enter the Outer City. By then, the spaces in the Matrix will be vacated, which is just right for the next trial."
The Terminal hasn't said how long until the final disaster, the Emotion Storm, arrives. Li Zheng heard soone ntion before that usually, the Matrix is about three years ahead of the Emotion Storm, and now Blue Star players have only used up a month.
Li Zheng estimated that in at most six months, the remaining players could all enter the Outer City, and by then, with his help, the strength of Blue Star players could be enhanced a few notches higher.
Perhaps this ti, it will be the strongest combat force a single batch of players has faced against the Emotion Storm since the Matrix's inception.
But, Li Zheng still wasn't satisfied.
He wanted to increase the final battle's success rate, even if just by a tiny bit.
He didn't count on the Outer City's survivors. Aside from the residents of the top fifty districts, the rest were just so hedonistic wasters. Counting on them to take to the battlefield is like providing nourishnt to the Emotion Storm.
Instead, he had intentions of rallying those races left in the Matrix.
He'd only been to the Abyss region once, but even from that single visit, it wasn't hard to notice that the Abyss race was passionate about martial skills and very eager to improve their strength.
Of course, this doesn't exclude the overall chaotic nature of the Abyss race, after all, legends often depict them embodying one of the seven deadly sins.
Like how the Enchanting Demon Race corresponds to the sin of lust.
"But if I go back..." Mirel hesitated for a mont: "Then there'd be no one with you."
Li Zheng was taken aback and said with a smile: "You've lived in the Abyss for eighty years, can you really give up your holand and compatriots for soone of another race whom you've known for less than twenty days?"
