He ruffled his head uneasily and took a step back. "Ok. We should log back into the game. It's been too long and I have something important to talk to you guys."
"Ah… " Shen Yue's face paled. He didn't say anything to her? She just stood rooted on the spot, completely frozen. Her eyes were already glistening.
Seeing that she became visibly wilted, Liam ruffled his hair again and decided to smoothen things a little bit.
"About the other thing, I think we should talk about it later when everything becomes more stable… I will be right here with you even then, so nothing will change."
"We cannot afford to lose focus right now. Do you understand?"
Shen Yue blinked. So she was not rejected? Or was she still rejected and these were just words to console her?
Liam sighed. This was still not resolved?
He decided to use the same tactic he used on Mei Mei. He had a feeling that it would work.
"Don't think about all these things now. We need to work hard and survive." He took a step forward and patted the woman on her head. "Can I count on you?"
"Ye… yes. Yes. of course." Shen Yue wiped her eyes. "I will always stand by you. I didn't know before sorry. Now I will work hard. I will definitely work hard."
"Alright." Liam nodded with a gentle smile. "Thank you in advance then."
"So… I will go to the game capsule and log in now?"
"Yes, I will contact you both inside the game."
"Ummm. Ok." Shen Yue looked again at the warm smile plastered on Liam's face and she once again blushed furiously before heading out.
"Heh. She is also so protective." Liam almost felt bad for not responding to her properly, but the truth was he also did not lie to her.
The timing right now was far too crucial for him to be entrapped and entwined in the arms of an enchantress. Maybe if her profession was different, things would have been a lot easier.
But after seeing Gu Donghai's behavior back at the restaurant, he did not want to underestimate her charms and allure.
Back then, the guy almost looked bewitched by her. What was that? Were things already beginning to change?
"No, I am thinking too much. I am giving that trash too much credit." Liam shook his head. There, of course, was always a possibility like that. He did not dare rule that out completely.
But there was still time for that and there would be a major announcement and the fact that he was not affected by her allure also meant something.
Otherwise, if her abilities were really leaking into the real world, then no man including him would have been able to resist her.
He would have probably already taken her to the bed.
Liam contemplated things carefully, not letting his judgment be clouded. Did she look the same as before or more beautiful?
The answer was definitely more beautiful!
"Hmmm... What if she is indeed more alluring than usual but my mental strength increased?" Liam's gaze changed as this seemed to be more plausible.
He had recently been pushing himself to the extreme a lot. What if all those painful circumstances gave him more resistance?
He suddenly became stiff as a frightening thought popped up in his mind. Was mana already present in the world?
