Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 139: Pitful Lyla

"Brother, Miss Irene is here," Li Xin exclaimed, hearing the knock on the door.

"Yes, she is here," Li Wei nodded, recovering from his stiffened expression, and glanced at Lily, who wore a depressed face, making him speechless again.

"Lily, it's not time to be depressed," he reminded as he pulled her shirt down to cover her navel.

"Umm, Brother Li, why did Miss Irene come here now? It isn't even mealtime yet," Lily muttered with a pout.

"Who knows what she is thinking; anyway, I will open the door," Li Wei replied and got up to open the door.

When he opened it, he found Irene standing in front of the room with her dress changed to beautiful ones, making her look graceful.

"Priestess Irene, what happened? Do you need something?" he inquired with a calm face as if he wasn't doing anything wrong.

In response, Irene nodded.

"Yes, I wanted to head out to buy a few things after the meal, but I am not familiar with the shops here, so I came to inquire about this," she replied and glanced inside the room with a curious expression to see if he was doing something interesting.

But she failed to notice anything, as Lily was already sitting on the bed with a calm face, while Li Xin and others were looking at her with surprise after hearing her reason.

"Miss Irene, what things do you need to buy? With your status, shouldn't you possess everything?" Li Xin inquired with a puzzled look.

"Umm, well, you know, to prevent me from running away, my all-important needs are handled by my legion, even my clothes too."

"So I only have this one on me now, while the other casual dress that I stole secretly," Irene replied with a nonchalant look, as if it win4asn't something important.

While hearing this, Li Wei became speechless.

'Why does it look like her legion is not here to protect her but to keep an eye on her so she wouldn't run away?' he thought, and his guess was on the spot.

Her legion was here to stop her from running away and harming newbie adventurers with her kicking skill.

"So, Miss Irene, you want to buy some clothes and other important things, right?" Alice asked with an understanding expression.

"Yes, you are right, Alice," Irene nodded at her and turned towards Li Wei.

"Hey, are you not going to invite me in?" she asked with a pout, as she was still outside of the room.

"Priestess Irene, how could I not invite you? It's just that you didn't give me a chance," Li Wei replied with a smile, but he sighed inwardly as he was hoping she would return after getting her answers.

But now it didn't look like she would leave soon.

"Hehe, then I apologize for intrusion," Irene said with a chuckle and entered the room, directly taking a seat on the bed.

She then turned her attention towards Li Xin and others.

"So, I want to know what kinds of shops are best for clothes, because I am restricted from going to such places, I don't know too much about it, and I would like you to explain to me in detail," she requested with a serious face.

"Miss Irene, of course, we will explain it to you," Li Xin nodded with others and started to tell her about the shops inside the city.

While Li Wei sat beside Li Yin, playing with her hair and checking his status panel for the gift implementation process.

It has been two days since he got the gift to see the spirits, but the implementation process has been stuck at 10%, and it wasn't moving further.

'I wonder what is the problem,' he thought, pondering about this, but no answer came out.

He soon gave up and focused on the seven skills he learned after Irene's swift kick.

[Piercing Thrust-65, Guardian's Stance-65, Restoration Field-70, Heal-65, Slash-50, Evasion-50, Cure Poison-50]

They were few but all of them were master grade skills.

'A pity I have to escape because of the Ice Yeti, or I would've learned more skills,' he thought with sigh.

His eternal learning skill can help him learn any skills before him, no matter the number, but this will deplete his MP with a large amount.

Not to mention it will also learn the duplicate skills again and again, wasting his MP more.

Because of this, he only focused where few people were fighting, such as the guild master's fight, and after that, he had to escape because of the Ice Yeti, making him unable to use the skill.

As he was busy in his thoughts while playing with Li Yin's hair, Li Xin and others explained Irene about the shops where she can find the best items.

"Thanks for explaining this; I really appreciate your help," Irene thanked them with a serious expression. After all, she was going to buy a lot of things for her next runaway plan.

"Miss Irene, there is no need to thank us for this," Li Xin replied, shaking her head while Elva and others agreed with her.

"Yes, Miss Irene, there is no need to thank us for this; after all, you can know everything once you visit the shop or ask someone else," Alice replied.

"No, I got help from you, and it's a fact, so I really appreciate your help," Irene stated, rejecting their thoughts, after all, they didn't know her future runaway plans.

However, Li Xin and others didn't say anything this time, or it might hurt feelings after all she is being sincere.

"Hey, everyone the meal has arrived," Li Wei announced as he asked his clone to take the delivery.

While Li Xin and others became surprised at how fast the time went, but they didn't care and arrived at the dinner table with everyone.

"Whoa, that's a lot of sweets, and they are a lot different from what I know; where did you order them?" Irene asked, watching the few tens of dishes of different sweets.

"They are from Starmoon Inn, but the recipe is from Earth; because of that, you haven't seen them," Li Wei explained.

After merging with Earth, the first thing people were doing was sharing knowledge; basically, it's stealing by force, but it was a profitable deal as the recipes from Earth were on fire.

"Oh, so people already started making recipes from Earth?" Irene nodded with an understanding expression and started to eat her meal with everyone while asking some questions from time to time.

"Abyss Leader, you hold two blessings, right? What are you planning to do with that? What are your future plans?" she asked.

"Well, I want to create a city first, then a kingdom, then an empire; also, if it's within my ability, I will create a world," Li Wei replied with a nonchalant expression, making Irene irritated, and this continued for a while until Irene gave up on questioning him.

After a while, everyone was done with their meals and gathered in the hall, waiting for Irene, who had gone to change her clothes again.

When the doorbell of the villa rang abruptly, surprising everyone.

"Brother Li, who do you think it is?" Alice asked with a curious expression.

"Who knows; it might be Emily or someone else," Li Wei replied as he once again got up to open the door.

However, when he opened it, he became stunned because in front of him stood Lyla and her few companions who were part of Irene's legion.

He almost thought they found Irene is staying here, but after watching their panicked and anxious expressions, he calmed down.

"Miss Lyla, do you need anything?" he asked putting a calm face.

In response, Lyla inquired directly.

"Li Wei, have you seen Miss Irene or a suspicious young girl wandering around somewhere in the neighbourhood's?" she asked with an anxious tone.

While her subordinates also wore the same expression, making Li Wei feel pity for them.

'Oh, the priestess is cruel to make such beauties anxious for her,' he thought and answered her question.

"No, I haven't gone out yet, so I don't know about this," he replied with the utmost sincere tone and expression, making Lyla feel more anxious.

"So you don't know," she murmured with a sigh.

'Ugh, priestess, come back, or we will get scolded,' she muttered in her mind and looked at Li Wei with dull eyes.

"Li Wei, if you find someone like that, please inform us as soon as possible," she uttered and left to another house asking the same questions.

"Whoah, they are working hard," Irene muttered, suddenly arriving behind him.

"Priestess, I think you should return; don't you see their looks? It's like they will not sleep and eat until they found you," Li Wei suggested with a sigh, still feeling pity for them.

"Humph, what do you know about them? It's me who is not getting sleep for not having fun for years, so let them suffer a little bit," Irene replied with a snort and entered the hall, taking a seat on the sofa.

"Also, I can't go out now, or they will immediately find me if I go alone like this," she replied with irritation.
