Free Web NovelChapter 797: Chapter 386: She’s a Lot Like You
"Alright, alright, it was my attitude that was bad."
Li Ang said soothingly, explaining, "I always talk about your relationship with her, even I find it strange. When I interacted with her in the past, I also thought about her past, wondering why she became so slovenly, like a salted fish, and what she was like before that."
"Then did you find out?"
"Yes, after meeting you, I had some clarity, of course, I don’t mean you are exactly her, but you also experienced hardships you shouldn’t have."
Li Ang rubbed his forehead, "I just wonder, if from the start you all hadn’t encountered those disasters caused by the Empire, what kind of young girl would you have grown into? Certainly, you would be brilliant.
"Since in your past Nebis, all of this was impossible, but in this world, you can embark on a new path, become..."
Meimei swiftly grabbed the Water Fairy Armor with a splash of water and dashed out of the room, disappearing.
Aww, she’s embarrassed.
Li Ang also left the forge room and walked towards the deeper part of the Eternal Summer.
In the middle of the ship’s hull, there were some rooms the young girls would not visit, after initially browsing the unfitted cabins, they no longer paid attention to those empty rooms.
Only Li Ang, the designer, knew that there were nested rooms inside, which were later soundproofed and reinforced by him, making them rooms that no one could find.
He didn’t know why he designed them this way; it just appeared on the blueprint. Initially, he explained to himself that if they encountered particularly troublesome enemies and needed to deal with them using unconventional means, these rooms would be useful.
Unexpectedly, it was used in this manner.
Walking into the darkness of the room, Meluna was bound tightly by various tools, the prolonged placement and stimulation causing her to constantly tremble.
"See? She certainly resembles you."
Li Ang removed the Female Sword Saint’s mouth gag and blindfold.
"Hmm... Li Ang, hurry, give it to me..."
After responding, Meluna immediately became concerned with her own matters.
After their reunion, she had been longing, but Li Ang always had various reasons, his heart unwilling to respond to her requests.
Until a few days ago, her anger rose, attempting to point her Sword Edge at the White Wolf and Golden Canary who were entering private life with him.
"No, I feel your punishment is still insufficient."
Li Ang could now say the word punishment without hesitation.
Yes, punishment, he no longer hesitated about whether there was any subjective error in his resentment towards her, he was sure this person was incorrigible in some respects.
"I’ve, I’ve already, I’m listening to you, oh oh oh..."
The place beneath where Meluna was suspended was a mess; she had already been pushed to her limits, but after seeing Li Ang, she again fell under the influence of the punishment device, losing her composure.
These bindings, she could easily break free, but Li Ang said, if she dared to leave, then there would be no future.
Upon sensing her murderous intent, in that moment, he had never been so firm in his heart to drive Meluna away.
"Originally, I was very happy you helped at the City of the Ship’s Rudder."
Li Ang’s hand caressed the binding tools, "Do you know? After I got these things, no matter how moved I was when with you, I never had the heart to use them on you."
"But the roulette made by that Farlonio guy had something to it, maybe, this is the nature of my inner self, containing quite a sadistic desire."
He raised his left hand, sharp keratin nails brushed across tender skin, their sharpness cutting the surface to leave thin wounds.
Though not enough to bleed, their healing would cause itching, becoming unbearable in the tenderest spots.
Within the Holy Capital Bank, Li Ang had once found Rams’s safe and his own with the young girls of the Star Flower Travel Corps.
At that time, they were filled with curiosity to open them, but Li Ang was adamant about keeping them secret.
Or rather, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he was unwilling at the time, the items inside were too soon for them. Even troublesome Dorothy, her doing it herself and him doing it were two different matters, and his were much more extreme.
Due to Earth’s overly advanced information, he knew about those tools, he hadn’t used them before boarding the Eternal Summer.
But Meluna really infuriated him; he was even more angry that this woman seemed to do nothing, yet naturally forced out many hidden parts of himself that he wasn’t even aware of or perhaps didn’t want to admit.
He wasn’t as indifferent as he thought; he ended up in trouble with someone like this, taking care of her daily life, finally to an intimate level.
He wasn’t as optimistic as he believed; many of the darker things in his heart were always exposed by this woman’s unrestrained actions.
So, he set conditions, having her enter this room, to reflect in a state of wakefulness and torment.
Meluna might not fully understand his reasoning, but went along with it, continuing to be punished.
Furthermore, the Curse Rune inscribed in this room allowed her to connect with Li Ang’s senses, letting her see what he wanted her to see in the room.
"Unexpectedly, Meimei’s response was very similar to yours." Li Ang said to Meluna.
The black-haired young girl, whose emotions usually didn’t fluctuate much, showed a rare reaction when he spoke words similar to what he said to Meimei.
It was these words that stopped her rebellion at that time.
But Li Ang’s genuine feelings in that moment were quickly covered by anger, and they still hadn’t subsided.
"I already acknowledge my mistake." Meluna said without emotion.
"Saying that means you haven’t."
Li Ang knew her nature too well, but there was no reward, only the corresponding punishments remained.
He exerted force, pulling, leading the Female Sword Saint, who had already undergone countless ultimate tests, into another dimension of extremes.
Returning to the room, Meimei immediately dove onto the bed, burying her face in the pillow, her pink feet kicking in the air.
"Saying such strange things? Annoying person."
She turned over, lay with her back on the bed, holding the pillow and gazing foolishly at the ceiling.
If there were no Empire, I would definitely be like an ordinary girl.
He noticed this? In his eyes, I, and even that person, are not ends to a Savior, but ordinary girls?
He really is misleading, saying peculiar things, giving things, no wonder those little girls can’t handle it.
She looked at the Water Fairy Armor, placed neatly even by an emotionally charged person.
It really is beautiful.
No matter how many times she looks, Meimei always sighs like this.
Even those noble-born Sky Knights, like Elaphia and Lisya, could only strive to mix and match when collecting individual pieces of excellent equipment.
Sets were always things to awe for but impossible to attain, each piece demanding consideration of the connection of power, which Meimei could easily understand with her strength.
The more it was so, the more she felt his abilities were unusual, this world’s Savior sure is good, with someone like him guarding it.
Her mind couldn’t help but recall the past, the repeated disasters, each time trying to support alone, if there was someone like him following, with his support, assistance providing logistics, it surely would be joyful even while fleeing....
If there were truly such a person, even if the world were to end, he wouldn’t... no, unable to stop the world nor save him, but surely let him die behind herself.
Ah, I’m really pessimistic, here it’s not so tragic, and I don’t need to put on a front.
Meimei thought this way, becoming lost in thoughts and didn’t know when she fell asleep.
Under the night sky, a few figures quietly disembarked the ship.
If Li Ang were here, he would know just from their actions that it was those four mischievous ones from the troupe.
"Isn’t this bad? Li Ang said to have a good rest and explore tomorrow." A voice like a baby’s said softly.
"I didn’t ask you to come with me, I just noticed something I was curious about, what if it’s gone by morning?" A crisp and lively voice replied.
"If something really happens, I’ll tell the master I couldn’t stop you." A cold voice said.
"Wow, so pragmatic, well, me too. No letting you monopolize the benefits, but the bad consequences you bear alone." A soft sweet voice said.
Four sets of footsteps advanced on the dry, hard lava surface, steps and talks mingling more in the darkness, not because they started fighting, but because the environment was complex, filled with many obstacles and unseen clutter.
"Ah---!!!"
Li Ang was just about to sleep when several piercing screams cut through the sky, making him immediately get out of bed.
Facing the cat, bird, cow, and dog, a stranger young girl stared back at them, both sides letting out earth-shattering screams.
