Chapter 29: The Constantly Conquered Chiori

Chiori's upkeep was truly excellent. That was Lu Li's immediate impression after they had cleaned up. Having been with Arlecchino and Lynette before, he could feel that the skin of this seamstress from the nation of a thousand islands, blessed by the Raiden Shogun, was impeccably delicate and soft.

Furthermore, due to the petite physique characteristic of Inazumans, even though Chiori was an adult, she still seemed quite small compared to Lu Li. From behind, his broad shoulders could completely hide her body. However, because of their current position, Chiori could still clearly see her own gently swaying legs and her arms wrapped around his neck. If she stood directly in front of him, his strong, 185cm frame would completely conceal her.

But that wasn't their current position.

Lu Li held her up, admiring her trembling, shy expression, while supporting her to prevent her from falling, which also allowed him to exert his strength and lift the heavy weight. Without his excellent wrist, arm, and core strength, and the leg strength to bear the weight, this advanced technique would not be easy. Even so, he couldn't hold on for too long. Even if Chiori only weighed about fifty kilograms, supporting a person's weight in this position was a serious test.

Lifting her up and putting her down was a novel experience for both of them, but to continue, she had to lean against the wall. And so, that's what he did.

Chiori, hailing from the nation blessed by the Raiden Shogun, though small, was incredibly flexible. As the soldiers marched back and forth between the city gate and the pass, the narrow passage became much smoother after repeated runs. The exciting music was naturally pleasing, but only Lu Li could hear its beauty at this moment. Chiori could only grit her teeth and command her water soldiers to resist, trying to use the muddy heat to make him surrender quickly.

However, this weak resistance was like an invitation to Lu Li. His soldiers were very good at marching and fighting in hot, muddy swamps. At this moment, like the sound of wet slippers on a corridor floor, her resistance could not stop him.

After a heavy blow that broke through the gate, Lu Li gave the order, and his surging brothers parachuted into the inner city, completely occupying and marking Chiori's fortress.

Only then, feeling sore, did he lower his hands and take a breath. Even with the wall for support, holding that position for twenty minutes was still quite tiring!

"You villain..." Chiori said with a huff, barely able to stand.

Looking at her flushed face, a smile played on Lu Li's lips. The formerly proud and arrogant Thundering Seamstress was now too embarrassed to look up at her greatest enemy after her disgraceful performance. In that case, it's still my turn! A wicked grin spread across his face. His arms might be sore, but he was not a man to be so easily defeated. His physical fitness was more than double that of an ordinary person. Plus, with the physical training he had received since childhood, his endurance was extraordinary.

Soon, feeling that Lu Li was about to lead his troops into battle again, Chiori blushed, nodded, and slowly turned to face the wall in penitence. Feeling him join the battlefield again, the seamstress could only bite her lip and lead her own army to continue resisting this detestable fellow to the end. I will not yield! she thought shyly.

Court of Fontaine, Hôtel Bouffes d'été

After a long day of magic performances, Lyney had just returned to his dorm. Seeing Lynette still pacing around the room, he collapsed onto his bed, exhausted. "Sister, do you still have so much energy?"

"Brother, don't you think it's strange? Brother Lu Li didn't come back tonight. Where would he spend the night? He doesn't have any special missions recently, right?" Lynette asked with her arms crossed, clearly dissatisfied.

"Huh? But didn't Father ask him to investigate the source of 'L'es' before she left, and arrange for him to cooperate with the Spina di Rosula and the Gardes? In that case, he must be very busy tonight."

"Even so, he was carrying some ingredients when he came to see us. Does he need those to get help from the Spina di Rosula and the Gardes?"

Lyney yawned and said lazily, "Maybe he was preparing his own dinner... it's not impossible..."

"But there were a lot of ingredients..."

"Lu Li trains much more than an ordinary person, so it's normal for him to eat a lot..."

Before he could finish, Lynette, who was now extremely annoyed at being constantly contradicted, kicked him hard.

"Oww!" The great magician sat up abruptly, clutching his shin and yelping.

Lynette shot her foolish brother a resentful look and huffed, "I'm not talking to you anymore. Lyney is such a big idiot..." She stormed out of the room, leaving a bewildered Lyney clutching his leg. He had no idea why she was so worked up about this. Had he said something wrong?

He couldn't figure it out, but then, a thought struck him, and his eyes widened. Wait, could it be that Lynette has a crush on Lu Li? Otherwise, why would his dear sister be acting so strangely today?

He rubbed his chin, thinking it was more and more likely. He imagined Lynette and Lu Li together and, after a moment's thought, decided it wasn't so unacceptable. After all, they had known each other since they were children, having met when they first joined the House of the Hearth. They had basically grown up together... So, if that was the case, he thought it was probably fine.

Meanwhile, Lynette returned to her room, pouting, still thinking about Lu Li. Yesterday, he was with me... and today he's gone. What a detestable, bad guy... No, if I see him tomorrow, unless Brother Lu Li apologizes on his own initiative, I won't talk to him, and I won't make him any snacks! Hmph!
