Swallowing hard, Annie finalized her next move in her mind. She looked at the boy in front of her again, took a deep breath, and prepared to speak, to formally respond to Lius.
However, to Annie's surprise, just as she was about to speak, the boy in front of her made his move again: "Auntie, take this!"
As Annie closed her eyes to think, the boy took a step forward, jumped up, put his arm around Annie's shoulder, moved closer to her, and gently kissed her cheek.
"Chirp~" "Yay!"
Feeling the soft touch on her face, Annie opened her eyes with a start, staring in shock at the boy leaning on her shoulder. Lius, after kissing Annie's cheek, stuck out his tongue with a mischievous grin at the startled dark-haired woman.
"Hehe, Auntie has given herself away. I'll play a little prank on her too. Auntie's cheeks are so soft... and her body smells so good. I love it! I want to keep kissing Auntie like this forever, and I want to be held by Auntie like this forever. Auntie, will you grant my wish?"
With an innocent and naive tone, Lius made this suggestion to Anne with a smile. After a moment of stunned silence, Anne felt a tremor run through her. The combination of the soft touch on her cheek and the boy's innocent smile pushed her emotional limits to the limit.
Annie's mind, which had been brimming with thoughts, suddenly went blank. She couldn't think at all. There was only a straight path that stretched out before her, leading her thoughts straight ahead without any end in sight.
"Hmm? Aunt Annie, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Leus also noticed Anne's unusual behavior, and shook her shoulder in surprise, calling out to her repeatedly.
As for Annie, she did not respond to the boy at all. Instead, she rolled her eyes and temporarily lost consciousness in the blank space in her mind. She closed her eyes and, with a satisfied smile on her lips, collapsed to the ground with a slight tremor. This caused Lius, who was in her arms, to also be pushed down beside her.
"Huh? Aunt Annie... Auntie, what's wrong! Auntie, wake up! Auntie!" "Little Li. So cute, Little Li." Just like that, amidst Lius's surprised and panicked cries, Annie clutched her ample chest and fainted in the prayer room. As she became dizzy, she kept reciting her last remaining thoughts before fainting—her feelings for the boy, and the awakened and surging "shota-con" attribute within her, all of which reached their peak at this moment.
As Ha lost consciousness, it seemed that her brain's self-defense mechanism reacted, making Annie forget the thing that had just excited her so much.
Only a laugh that escaped from the corner of her mouth, coming from the depths of her heart, still recorded Annie's true feelings at this moment, and her unparalleled affection for the boy in front of her.
Chapter 293: Reconnecting with the Past (Part 5)
Time returns to the present.
Standing once more in that prayer room, Leus looked at the spot where Anne had collapsed, a meaningful smile on his face, and teased the flushed, dark-haired woman before him:
"In short, when I saw you suddenly faint, Aunt Annie, I was really startled. I thought something had happened to you, so I rushed to call all the other sisters and aunts in the convent and told them to heal you. I was very anxious."
"Ah, so that's what happened back then." Listening to Lius's account, Annie narrowed her eyes slightly, as if a flood of memories were surging in her mind, retrieving the memories that had been sealed away by her self-protection mechanism. She looked at the now-grown blond boy in front of her, then looked down at herself, and the blush on her face deepened. "Back then... I actually acted so out of control, really... I made a fool of myself in front of you, Lius. And so I had such a strange habit back then... I thought it was because I spent so much time with you, Lius, that I was influenced by you and developed that kind of hobby."
"It turns out that you actually liked kids like me from the very beginning, hehe. I have to say, even though I didn't know you had such thoughts back then, I wouldn't have said anything even if I had. In fact, I would have been very happy. Knowing that you also have such affection for me is an achievement that I can't compare to anything else!"
As Lius spoke, he stretched out his arms again and wrapped them tightly around the shoulders of the dark-haired young woman in front of him, just as he had done to Anne when he was a child.
Anne felt her heart race, blushed, nodded, and slowly stretched out her arm to hug Lius's body, letting him gently rub against her, seemingly enjoying this time with Lius.
"Xiao Li, you've really worked hard these past few years. On the one hand, you've taken a lot of care for Auntie's orphanage, but on the other hand... Auntie hasn't been very proactive in responding to your feelings. Xiao Li, you must have a lot of resentment towards Auntie... In your heart, even though Auntie has accepted the farewell, she still hasn't taken any further steps in her actions, which makes you somewhat dissatisfied, right?"
“Well… actually, it’s not much, because I always thought that you, Aunt, did remember this agreement, and that’s exactly what you did.” Lius raised his head slightly, shrugged, and said this.
"Hmm? Does Auntie do the same thing in practice?" Annie tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes, Aunt Annie, you and I are very affectionate with each other. Apart from not actually saying things like 'lover', I feel that your behavior is like that of a lover. So I always thought that you were just waiting for me to grow up before you would actually announce our relationship."
"Ah...is that so...it seems that you and I are indeed very close on weekdays." After hearing what Lius said, Annie carefully recalled the things that had happened on weekdays and realized that what the blond boy in her arms said seemed to be true. As her face turned redder, she also felt a unique sense of excitement.
It turns out that I've become so close to you, Xiaoli, without even realizing it... Is it just my body reacting instinctively, or is the memory of Xiaoli confessing to me still subconsciously influencing me...? In any case, I really owe it to this incident, which allowed our relationship to develop to such a close stage.
With this thought in mind, Annie lowered her head again, affectionately stroking the boy's head. Then, a hint of melancholy welled up in her eyes. "Xiao Li, Auntie is very grateful to you for letting me know that I still have feelings for you, Xiao Li, but... even so, even though you keep making me recall the past, recall those memories and emotions that I would never want to let go of, I still can't change my actions. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright. At first, I also thought it was impossible to persuade you back with just a few words. What I'm doing now is just to make you understand your feelings and your true thoughts. Once you understand these things, the pain and entanglement in your heart will be swept away, and you won't hesitate like you did at the beginning when you fight."
“Fight… Little Li, are you planning to fight me? I thought you told me so much just now because you didn’t want to fight me.” Anne asked, somewhat surprised, listening to Lius’s words.
"Of course we have to fight. After all, Aunt Anne, given your current state, without a fight, you simply can't fully vent your inner turmoil, nor can you find a path you can trust. Therefore, I only have one thought for you. Please listen carefully, Aunt Anne." As he spoke, looking at the dark-haired young woman in front of him, Lius straightened his expression, then revealed a serious glint in his eyes, his tone spreading out in earnest words:
“Aunt Anne, next, we will go to the training grounds in the monastery for a battle. If you win, you can continue to follow the church's creed and carry out your next action. I will not stop you then. But if you lose…” Lewston paused, looked at Anne who was also showing a serious expression, and finally spoke to her:
"If you fail, Aunt Annie, you must completely stop your original plan and obey me completely. You are not allowed to go against anything I do next, nor are you allowed to be hostile to me again. You must do whatever I ask you to do without objection. Is that alright?"
"Is this your idea, Xiaoli? To resolve everything through a battle with me?"
"Of course, if you truly trust the Supreme God, then even if I were to stop you right now, you would still be able to defeat me and continue to advance the Supreme God's plan. But if you cannot defeat me, it means that the Supreme God's prophecy cannot be applied to me. If you cannot even defeat me, how will you fight against the entire kingdom?"
Having said that, Leus cast another serious look at Anne and spoke to her:
"In other words... my authority in the church is even higher than that of the Supreme God. When I win, it will prove that your faith in the Supreme God is meaningless. Instead of voting for her, you should start to worship me directly. This is in line with the church's creed. Aunt Anne, you should understand that, right?"
Faced with Lius's seemingly illogical words, Anne pursed her lips slightly, a sense of understanding inexplicably welling up within her, causing a glimmer of light to gradually emerge in her previously empty eyes.
"Through battle, will we decide our ultimate faith?"
Muttering to herself about Lius's thoughts, she spoke again with a resolute expression, nodding at him: "Then, when will the battle begin?"
Chapter 294: The Second Battle with the Young Woman (Part 1)
Outside the monastery, in the training ground.
"Then... let's begin our battle here, Xiao Li."
"Yes, this place is the most open. I've also moved some of the other training targets that would have affected the battle, so we can fight to our hearts' content."
Standing in front of Anne, Lius nodded slightly and looked around at the area surrounded by fireflies.
A faint, starlight-like glow illuminated the lush green grass, while a gentle breeze caressed the faces of the young woman and boy, stirring ripples in their previously tranquil emotions.
"Let's make this clear first. After this battle, no matter the outcome, we must act according to our previous plan. Once I win, Auntie, you will come with me to put an end to this rebellion of the Black Robe Cult."
"On the contrary, if you lose, Xiaoli, you are not allowed to continue to participate in this kind of struggle, nor are you allowed to continue to obstruct me, your aunt, understand?"
"Yes, if you agree, Auntie, then I'm naturally willing to agree too."
Looking at the dark-haired young woman in front of him, Leus revealed a confident smile and nodded vigorously in Annie's direction. Annie, after exhaling, also revealed a smile, her eyes no longer showing the previous entanglement, but instead a sense of relief, and her fingers gripping the wand became even tighter.
"This time, Xiaoli, you should make the move. It's best not to play any more pranks on Auntie like before. After all, this is a serious battle, and Auntie will be unhappy if you continue to use the same methods."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I was just joking with you before. Now that we're being serious, we should proceed with the next step. There won't be any problems."
As he spoke to Annie, Leus also gripped his staff tightly in his hand, took a deep breath, and adopted a serious and focused expression. He then drew the blade from his staff again and pointed it in Annie's direction.
"Well then, Aunt Annie, get ready, I'm about to attack!" "Come on, Little Li, Auntie's ready..."
Looking towards the boy, Anne was speaking, but the next moment, in her sight, Lius's figure suddenly disappeared. Then, a gust of wind rang out behind Anne, and before she could finish speaking, a cold light flashed behind the black-haired young woman.
"Um?
Sensing the sudden gust of wind, Annie's eyes widened, and her body reacted swiftly, leaping to the side with all her might, drawing a perfect arc in the air as she somersaulted, dodging the sound of a sword slashing behind her. "Whoosh!"
The wind whistled through the air, and the sharp blade, accompanied by bursts of cold light, along with the moonlight cast from the sky, drew a distinct silver-white arc in the surrounding space.
Meanwhile, Leus, wielding his sword, didn't stop his attack. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, merging into the surrounding wind once more, making his figure almost translucent. He continued to surge and advance towards Annie. "Leus's movements are much faster than before! Could it be that Leus wasn't using his true strength earlier?"
Feeling Liss's smooth yet sharp movements, a look of surprise appeared in Annie's eyes, but she still controlled her rationality and tried her best to deal with the unexpected situation. Her body was constantly moving as she retreated and dodged, waving the wooden staff in her hand to block the blades that were aimed at her one by one.
A series of clashing sounds came from their weapons, accompanied by intense vibrations that made Annie clench her lips and feel a sharp pain in her wrists.
“Xiao Li’s strength… has increased considerably. He didn’t even use magic. He can do this simply by using his movement skills. And looking at Xiao Li now… he doesn’t seem to feel tired at all. His attack doesn’t seem to be weakening at all.” Looking at Lius, Annie gritted her teeth and kept thinking.
At this moment, Leus continuously wielded his sword, creating a storm of cold light that echoed in front of Annie. At the same time, his feet moved forward, taking exquisite steps at his fastest speed.
Despite Annie's efforts to counter his movements, the boy's speed was simply too fast, causing her to lose control of his attacks for a time, and her body gradually went limp under the continuous onslaught.
"What's wrong, Aunt Annie? You can't hold on anymore? I've only used a third of my strength, and it looks like I'm about to break through your defenses... Should we just admit defeat now to avoid hurting you too much?"
Looking at Anne, while the attack was in progress, Lius continued to speak to the dark-haired young woman, using words to constantly attack Anne's psychological defenses.
"Hmm... Little Li, don't think you can defeat me so easily. Don't underestimate your aunt... Don't forget, some of your attack techniques were taught to you by your aunt. In that sense, there are many things about me that you don't know. Don't think you've completely mastered me." Anne, sensing Lius's words, responded with a cautious tone, mocking the blond boy in front of her. Then, under the fierce attack, she suddenly leaned back and kicked her right leg forward with a spinning kick.
Taking advantage of the direction and force of Lius's attack, Annie swung her sword in front of him, dodging the sword light that Lius was slashing at her, and then stomped her bare feet toward Lius's chest.
"boom!"
After a soft thud, Annie felt her feet kick Lius's body, but not in his chest, but in his cheeks. She pressed her beautiful feet, which were accompanied by a gentle breeze, against Lius's face, and even let his lips touch the tender soles of his feet, letting her soft breaths caress those sensitive, beautiful flesh.
"what!"
Sensing her current state, Annie suddenly narrowed her eyes. Then, feeling a tingling sensation, she quickly withdrew her beautiful feet. With her cheeks flushed and panting heavily, she stood in front of the boy, explaining herself repeatedly.
"Ah... Little Li, Auntie didn't mean it just now... Auntie wasn't trying to seduce you, it was just an accident, don't misunderstand." It's alright, it's alright. I know you're not that interested in this kind of thing right now, Auntie, and I have no objection. Don't overthink it. Lius gently stroked his cheek, still warm from the touch of her arch, and swallowed slightly before responding to the black-haired beauty in front of him. Then, changing the subject, he pointed the blade of his sword at Annie's withdrawn foot, continuing to remind her:
"But then again... even though I know that what you did was just an accident, Auntie, in battle, any accident can be fully utilized. For example, when you kicked me just now, I also cast a new spell on your right foot."
"Um?
Hearing Lius's words, Anne suddenly came to her senses, only to feel a chill run down her spine.
Looking down, she discovered that her right foot and entire right leg were encased in thick, hard ice, which tightly bound her lower right side, completely restricting the joint of her leg and making it impossible for her to move.
Chapter 295 The Second Battle with the Young Woman (Part Two)
"What! Faced with this scene, Annie gritted her teeth, took out her staff, and cast a fire spell on herself, trying to melt the ice on her body." Damn it, when did she cast a spell? While Annie was casting a spell to try to break free from her restraints, Leus seized the opportunity when Annie was unable to move and immediately took his own action.
"Wind Blade!"
With a sharp remark, Lius leaped forward, guided by the sound of the wind, and swiftly appeared before Annie, the blade in his hand gleaming with a silvery-white light.
Magic continuously coiled around the weapon, releasing slashes mixed with gusts of wind. The tornadoes, combined with the sharp sword light, surged straight towards Annie's body.
"Hmm... such a strong offensive."
Caught in a pincer attack from two directions by Leus, Annie was unable to withstand the onslaught for a time. She gritted her teeth and used her wand to defend against the attacks from afar, but no matter what she did, she was still unable to resist the surging wind like a tidal wave. After holding on for a while, her body finally gave out and she was struck directly by the sharp wind blades.
"Ah, even though she tried her best to release her own magic to create a semi-transparent barrier to resist the attacks that were coming at her while she was being attacked."
At this moment, however, the remaining magic power within her body was insufficient to withstand all the attacks. The barrier did indeed keep most of the wind blades out of her body, but Anne's outstretched arm was still struck by several gusts of wind that surged from the gaps, which then struck her body. Her chest, which was originally covered by her nun's habit, was also cut open by the sharp wind blades, revealing her snow-white skin to Lius.
"Wow, after the revelation, Lius's continuous offensive paused slightly. He glanced at her and felt that Annie's appearance at this moment was really too shocking."
Her voluptuous figure was revealed through the tattered clothes. The tight strips of fabric stretched her already graceful figure even tighter, outlining alluring curves on her soft, tender, and fair skin. The texture of the fabric, combined with the slight blush on her cheeks, gave this black-haired beauty a seductive charm that seemed to both resist and welcome.
"Gulp. Faced with this scene, Leus couldn't help but glance at her, and swallowed hard. Annie also noticed the tightness of her chest bound by the remaining strips of cloth, and her face flushed even more. She involuntarily pressed her arms to her chest, covering the gap, and muttered to Leus with a blushing face: "
"So this is your plan, Little Li...? To force me to gradually surrender in this shameful way, until I completely lose my will to fight. Little Li, you're something else. It seems I'll have to be more serious from now on, otherwise I'll never escape being toyed with by you." Actually, it was just an accident... I didn't want to hurt you, Aunt Anne, so I just tore open your clothes. I didn't have any other thoughts. Lius was telling the truth. Although he knew it would be strange to just tear open Anne's nun's habit, he did it because he didn't want to hurt her.
The only thing he hadn't expected was that the wind blades he released would so perfectly cut out a very "suitable" gap, making Annie's already alluring figure even more seductive. It looked as if she had dressed up specifically to seduce Lius. Coupled with the shy blush on Annie's face, it made Lius's heart flutter, and his gaze couldn't help but linger on the torn strips of cloth.
"Xiao Li, your eyes... have become more serious. It seems I have to unleash my full power, otherwise there's no chance of defeating you later. At this moment, I must use the power of the Supreme God..." Hmm? Auntie, are you finally planning to go all out?
Listening to Anne's words, Lius lowered his eyes, his gaze gradually becoming more serious, and his look at Anne became more scrutinizing.
As for Annie, feeling the boy's gaze upon her, she slowly exhaled, the light swirling around her chest. Finally, she pursed her lips, blushing as she forcefully moved her arm away from her chest, completely revealing the damaged state of her clothes to Leus. She also raised her wand high in front of her.
"Now, let me show you, Xiao Li, the power that belongs only to me... the power of the Supreme God. Only by defeating this power can you truly become the one we believe in. This is the destiny you must experience, Xiao Li..." Ha... destiny? Well, I'm going to break that destiny. Come on, Aunt Annie, I'm ready.
Looking at Annie, Lius once again revealed a confident smile, nodding to greet her. Annie, knowing the boy's intentions, gripped her staff tightly, silently closed her eyes, and released the surging power from within her body. Under the flashing red light, the power appeared on the surface of her body.
"Hmm? This is..." Take a good look, Xiao Li, this is Auntie's fighting stance, a symbol of Auntie using her full power...
As Annie spoke, the red light gradually disappeared, and what appeared in front of Leus was the figure of a young woman with long black hair flowing down her back and waist, holding a staff that shimmered with red light. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her face was solemn and immaculate.
Looking at the young woman's body, one can see that the tattered nun's clothes have now completely transformed into light, condensing on the surface of her body. In its place, a layer of snow-white bodysuit has formed, completely clinging to her skin and revealing every inch of her body.
"It was like flowing liquid. This snow-white dress stretched along Anne's body, covering every inch of her body with its curves and alluring lines, forming a texture similar to latex, tightly wrapping her captivating and graceful figure, and completely revealing it to Lius."
Faced with this sight, Lius swallowed again, gazing at the alluring figure filled with details, his heart pounding even harder.
Chapter 296 The Second Battle with the Young Woman (Part 3)
"Wow, Aunt Annie, what an outfit you're wearing!" Upon seeing the beautiful woman in the white bodysuit in front of him, Lius swallowed hard again after a moment of astonishment. He looked Annie up and down, admiring her graceful figure, and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
It's so tempting. It's so form-fitting and sexy, it makes Aunt Annie's figure look even fuller and more beautiful. "Really...is it pretty...I'm glad you like it, Xiao Li. I was worried that you wouldn't like it after seeing me like this, but it seems I was overthinking it."
With a slightly flushed face, Annie stroked her body, which was clad in a tight-fitting outfit, and spoke to Lius, seemingly a little unsure about her current attire.
"Although this outfit is somewhat shameful to wear, it is indeed formed using the divine power of the supreme god. As long as you wear this outfit, you can completely release that supreme power, which is the power that you will face next, Xiaoli."
As she spoke, after a brief moment of shyness, Anne slowly exhaled, put on a serious expression again, raised the wand in front of her like a knight receiving a medal, gripped it tightly with both hands, and pointed it in the direction of Leus. If one looked closely at the wand in Anne's hands at this moment, one could see that the wand's design had changed.
What started as an ordinary ebony wand has been transformed into a translucent long wand inlaid with gems and shimmering with white light. Not only has the appearance changed, but the length of the wand has also been extended considerably, now almost the same height as Annie herself. Standing upright in front of her, it exudes a very solid and heavy texture.
"It feels like this wand could be used as a stick."
Such a thought surfaced in Leus's mind, and the next moment, he suddenly felt a surge of magical power emanating from Anne's body, gathering in the young woman's entire body. Along with the flowing, tight-fitting clothes on the surface of her body, it was continuously transmitted through Anne's body, gathering little by little into the wand in her hand, causing the gem at the top of the wand to shine even brighter, illuminating the entire training ground.
"Heh... What a powerful aura. Is this Aunt Annie's true strength?" Feeling this renewed surge of magic power, Leus couldn't help but bite his lip, marveling inwardly as he released a portion of his own magic power to resist the oppressive aura emanating from the young woman before him.
