Chapter 147: Escape-1
Chapter 147: Escape-1
(Li Wei, do you know what's going on?) Irene inquired through telepathy as she watched the centre of commotion with surprise.
In the centre, she found four familiar faces, and they were none other than Carson and his female companions.
But currently, Carson was lying on the ground unconsciously as blood flowed down from his crotch area, which was covered by a white cloth.
While his female companions wore a worried face, and one of them tried to heal him, but it didn't work as the wound was made with a higher level skill than her healing skill.
Li Wei, too, saw everything with a speechless expression and replied to Irene.
(Miss Irene, do you think I am a god? I was with you the whole time; how could I know what happened here?) he said, pretending to be ignorant.
But Irene didn't believe him.
(Didn't you say you will take care of him later, and I think the Diablo is none other than your clone?) she stated as her beautiful violet eyes gazed deeply into his.
However, Li Wei denied her statement.
(Miss Irene, if it was really my clone who is Diablo, then I would do everything to hide it. After all, Diablo tried to kill a hero, and you certainly wouldn't let that slide.) he replied and continued.
(As for me taking care of him later, I was just going to teach a lesson when he is alone or isn't somewhere in public, but it's his bad luck as he bumped into Diablo and picked up a fight with him.) he explained after hearing the situation from onlookers.
He was pretty surprised with how things turned out, but it was Carson's fault who suddenly turned around after he forgot something in a shop and bumped into his clone Diablo that was following him.
Diablo was wearing a cloak so no one was able to see his appearance, but after Carson bumped into Diablo, he exploded in anger, saying it was Diablo's fault and exposed his face pulling down his hoodie.
After that, no good came as Diablo directly utilized the instructions Li Wei gave to him and did the deed before taking his leave.
It definitely made things difficult for Li Wei, but he was already prepared with an explanation as he sent Diablo with a different purpose in his mind.
While Irene, who didn't know about this, could only give up on her doubts as she doesn't have any proof.
(Li Wei, I don't care about what you do, but please don't try to kill heroes, or you will land in big trouble.) she warned him, looking into his eyes.
But before Li Wei could answer, another commotion followed as Lyla and her companions made their entry after they heard the news of Diablo's appearance.
(Irene, let's leave here before we could get into trouble.) Li Wei suggested.
(Mhm, okay, let's leave.) Irene nodded, agreeing with his suggestion, and left with him.
Of course, Mia and Isla kept following them because of this; Lyla didn't care about their leave and started to inquire Carson's companions about what happened here.
While Mia and Isla, who were following Li Wei and Irene, became more suspicious.
"Isla, I think they are talking through telepathy; if not, they wouldn't stay silent and look at each other like that," Mia commented, remembering her observation.
Hearing her, Isla nodded.
"You are right, Mia, but a lot of people talk through telepathy for normal reasons, so we can't do anything because of that," she replied and continued.
"However, they are certainly suspicious, so we should keep a more strict eye. Also, I will report everything to Miss Lyla in the meantime," she said as she took out a communication tool and started to write everything briefly.
She also included Irene's three sizes that she shouldn't know because Irene was careful about not letting them hear it.
However, it wasn't hard to find out, as it was written on the shelf where Irene bought everything.
It was a little different from her original size, but it was close to hers, and with her legion being trained to report every information, Isla added everything she could.
Even the type of sexy innerwear Irene bought.
As she wrote her detailed report, Irene, who was inside the snack shop, felt a chill on her spine.
'What's this? Why am I feeling cold?' she thought and hugged Li Wei's arm tighter to feel warm.
"Irene, can you please stop hugging my arm now?" Li Wei requested with a troubled expression.
It was very hard for him not to think about those soft things; however after spending a blissful night with Li Xin and Li Yin, his lust was calmed down a lot.
Because of that, he was able to control his thinking, but Irene kept reminding him to think again and again with her actions, making it hard for him.
But, Irene didn't care about his trouble and snorted.
"Whose fault do you think the weather is cold now, so let me stay warm like this," she stated with a pout, sticking close to him.
The weather was definitely cold because of Li Wei turning North Plane into Ice Plane, but it shouldn't affect them as their levels were high.
So Irene was just making excuses to stay closer to him for the calm and comfortable feeling he gave.
She couldn't describe the feeling, but she liked it and didn't care much about her chest touching his arms because there were three layers of clothes in between them.
Li Wei, who didn't know her reasons, sighed inwardly and decided to ignore her chest with his remaining last willpower.
'XinXin, I think your cute brother will die in the hands of witch,' he thought, feeling bitter, and turned towards the old man with a beard who was the shop owner.
"Old man, can you pack every kind of sweets and snacks for me? Also, give me whatever amount you have; I will pay extra," Li Wei requested, making the shop owner dumbfounded.
"Brat, are you kidding me? If I sell everything to you, I will have to close my shop tomorrow," the old man shouted in anger, pointing at him.
"Ugh, old man, I am serious about this. If you don't want to sell me everything, then how about selling me 99 percent of everything?" Li Wei negotiated.
However, it still didn't calm the old man.
"Brat, if you are here to waste my time, then get out. If not for the beautiful lady with you who wants to buy some sweets, I would have already kicked you out of my shop." the old man replied as he saw Irene looking at the sweets with drool.
Li Wei too noticed her but didn't care much and once again started to negotiate with the old man.
It wasn't when he lowered the amount to 75 percent the old man agreed and sold him every type of snacks for 100k coins.
But Li Wei was still unsatisfied with the amount as foodies in his house might finish everything in a week or two, not to mention with Irene's addition; it won't even last a week.
'I should go to different shops.' he thought and left towards the next sweets shop with Irene who also bought some for herself.
As he continued his shopping, Lyla, who was finally done with inquiring around, took out her communication tool to see all messages.
The messages were divided into different categories, so if it's not something urgent, she wouldn't be informed until she checks it.
Because of this, Lyla wasn't informed as it wasn't something urgent.
But when she started to read the message from Isla, her eyes widened with panic as she found three sizes similar to Irene.
"No, it can't be Priestess Irene; even if the sizes are similar, after all, she wouldn't go out with a man like this, not to mention buying lover's outfits with those types of innerwear and doing those things," she muttered, shaking her head in denial.
However, a feeling inside her heart told her it's none other than Priestess Irene.
'No, no, it can't be; if it's really Princess Irene, then who is the man with her?' she thought with a pale look, and somehow Li Wei's face came to her mind.
"Li Wei, if it's really you, then better prepare for consequences," she shouted in a cold look, making her companions and Ava look at her with stunned expressions.
"Miss Lyla, what happened? Did you find Priestess Irene?" Ava inquired with a concerned look.
However, Lyla didn't reply.
"Follow me fast!" she instructed and headed towards Li Wei and Irene's direction in speed.
Her companions and Ava were stunned, but they immediately followed after her, knowing it must be something important.
As Lyla went after Li Wei and Irene, they were still unaware that their identities were exposed and were hanging around different food shops buying this and that.
"Irene, please stop wiping your mouth on my sleeves," Li Wei muttered with irritation as Irene, who was eating cookies, wiped her mouth with his sleeves.
"Why are you so irritated? I am just wiping my mouth, not licking it," Irene replied with a pout and started to eat her cookies again, ignoring him.
When her attention was attracted by a figure that was standing in front of them with a cold face.
It was none other than Lyla who stared at Li Wei with a venomous expression.
