As Lu Li was humiliatingly licking away, the voice of that great, indescribable entity suddenly echoed in his mind.
It seemed to be shocked by Lu Li's current actions. After a long pause, it finally spoke.
[Your tastes are certainly... unique. You seem to be enjoying yourself?]
Busy as he was, Lu Li couldn't reply. If he could, he would have shouted that it wasn't like that at all.
However, his lack of response was a form of communication in itself. The great will, seemingly sensing his thoughts, continued.
[The gift I granted you before, which allows you to receive a boon from the myriad worlds every new moon, is still in effect. However, I forgot to mention that to activate this gift, you must come into contact with the main characters of this world as you remember them.]
[In other words, in addition to the time limit of a new moon, you must also interact with one of these main characters in the new month to receive the gift. Since you seem to so enjoy this kind of contact... then let's set this method as the key to activation.]
Lu Li's heart sank.
What? He wasn't a foot fetishist! Wait! He didn't like this at all!
However, by the time he had thoroughly satisfied Arlecchino and was finally released from her office, no matter how much he pleaded in his mind, the great will no longer responded.
And so, Lu Li had no choice but to accept this bitter reality.
...
Walking back to his room with a heavy heart, his steps suddenly halted. He had noticed a slender figure up ahead, and his eyes widened in surprise.
It was Lynette. What was she doing here?
Unlike him, Lynette, Lyney, and Freminet were the most exceptionally talented among the children of the House of the Hearth. Not only did they all possess Visions, but each had their own set of remarkable skills. Lyney and Lynette were famous magicians in Fontaine, while Freminet was an outstanding diver whose talent was unmatched.
Lu Li, on the other hand, had always been a relatively ordinary child. His only shining quality was perhaps that he was quite handsome; he could easily become a boy toy for many a noble lady.
Seeing Lynette seemingly waiting for him, Lu Li paused.
"'Father's' whip is not easy to bear. Lyney and Freminet also make mistakes," Lynette said softly. "Although it doesn't leave scars, the pain comes from dehydration. It's not good if you don't handle it properly."
"Here."
Lu Li stared at the glass of water she offered him. After a moment of silence, he took it and drank the water. He held absolute trust in the three siblings. Their character was plain for all to see, and Lyney was even being groomed as Arlecchino's successor. Naturally, Lu Li had no reason to be wary of them.
Besides, it was a good chance to rinse his mouth.
After he finished, Lynette said, "If you're sent on a mission next time, you can ask Lyney and me for help. You don't have to be so stubborn on your own."
"Haha, alright, I understand. Thank you, Lynette," Lu Li replied with a small smile.
Lynette nodded, then pressed herself against the wall and vanished from sight, using a combination of fluorescent powder and her Anemo Vision to achieve a stealth effect.
Watching her go, Lu Li felt a wave of emotion. Before, he had always been envious seeing the three of them use their elemental powers so skillfully. After all, it was a Vision. But now, with his Yanling: Monarch's Blaze, that feeling was gone.
Still, he wanted to hone his skills. But who could he ask?
Suddenly, Lu Li remembered a woman he had met by chance on a past mission. He had helped her evade a group of stalking reporters, and they had become friends. If he remembered correctly, she was not only a master swordswoman and an expert combatant but also skilled in hunting and elemental manipulation...
Perhaps asking her for guidance was the best choice right now?
After a moment of thought, Lu Li made his decision. He would leave her a message and see if she had the time and energy to teach him.
The strongest Champion Duelist—Clorinde, Fontaine's last "Shadow-Chasing Hunter."
