Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#672 - Reunion

As evening arrived, Liang Yue and Elizabeth had a very ceremonial dinner in the dining hall of their own castle, arranged by the housekeeper.

Afterward, they strolled hand in hand through the manor for a while before returning to their room.

Lying in the comfortable projection room, they watched a movie that had just been released on the market, each holding a fruit plate filled with various small fruits.

After about a cup of tea's time, Elizabeth finally couldn't resist…

The little girl threw the fruit plate in her arms aside, and then, hugging his arm, she quietly looked at his profile with her charming Casslandre eyes.

Liang Yue naturally felt it, glanced at the girl, and then reached out to hug Elizabeth, looking at her and saying.

"Are you ready?"

"Mm~ I've actually been impatient for a long time. Ever since I left New York two years ago, I've been looking forward to this day."

Elizabeth's lips curved into a cute smile as she winked at him.

As he spoke, Liang Yue reached out and stroked the strands of hair beside the little girl's ear, and then asked the system to send over a villager contract.

Elizabeth was obviously a little surprised by this, tilted her head and reacted for a while, and finally agreed.

"Ugh…"

Then, immediately following, under the impact of the surging stream of information, the girl suddenly groaned, hugged her head, and rolled aside, whimpering.

A delicate face was full of pain and discomfort.

There was no way around it. Although the granting of villager status itself didn't cause any pain, the various shared knowledge and skills that Liang Yue later added with his villagers required a receiving process.

Elizabeth's current appearance was due to Liang Yue having already shielded some of the skills with excessive information in advance.

Otherwise, with the girl's current mental cultivation and brain capacity, this state would have lasted until next year at the very least!

This was not Liang Yue boasting. You must know that when he received the first transformation of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations, 《Orchestrating Creation》, Liang Yue himself had been stunned in place for more than a month before he could swallow the entire stream of information from the system like a date.

If it were Elizabeth, she probably wouldn't have passed so easily~

After saying hello to Xiao Wu and instructing him not to let anyone disturb them, Liang Yue hugged the little girl beside him and flashed into the stronghold world.

The next moment, the two of them appeared inside a planting tower filled with the fragrance of fruits.

Leaning lightly against the windowsill on one side, overlooking the small village outside the glass window, full of flowers and well-arranged.

Behind them, Yu Linglong, the little fellow, perhaps out of instinct, or perhaps wanting to show off in front of Liang Yue.

In short, when Liang Yue was not around, it would always fly diligently on each floor of the planting tower, helping to spread pollen.

Even if it was just some ordinary vegetables and fruits, it didn't care at all, appearing exceptionally energetic.

About an hour later, under Liang Yue's special care, Elizabeth in his arms finally returned to normal, breaking free from the pain of passively receiving various streams of information.

The originally exquisitely dressed face was now completely wet with sweat, and strands of golden hair curled and stuck to her face, even the originally light clothes on her body were soaked.

"Huff~"

Taking a deep breath, Elizabeth glared at him unhappily.

Inadvertently, Liang Yue noticed a trace of fatigue in the girl's crystal-clear eyes.

Obviously, for Elizabeth now, receiving this level of information flow was still a heavy burden.

So he quickly handed over a cup of spiritual tea that was still steaming.

Elizabeth was not polite when she saw this, took it and tested the water temperature, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The originally pale complexion became a little better, and she subconsciously looked around, and then the girl asked curiously.

"So~ Looking around, this whole place is your world?"

"Theoretically, this world is just my stronghold base, but until other strong people come to compete for it, this place does belong to me alone."

As he spoke, Liang Yue picked up the teapot and refilled her cup of spiritual tea.

"…This place gives me a very wonderful feeling. Everywhere is full of mysterious rule systems. The abilities I copied from you before, such as satiety recovery and disappearance of weak points~"

"They are just the application of the basic rules here. You have already mastered them now without transformation."

"It still needs to be transformed. Magic and rules cannot be simply equated."

Putting the cup in her hand aside, Elizabeth then suddenly stretched her arms and stretched lazily, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking intoxicated.

Afterward, she pulled Liang Yue to wander around the planting tower in front of her, walking and occasionally picking a few grapes and strawberries from the fruit trees along the way and putting them in her mouth.

And casually asked Liang Yue about some basic information about this world.

Everything was so relaxed and freehand, until a moment later, the villager communication platform sent a ding-ding sound.

Immediately, it attracted all the attention of the little girl, and even Yu Linglong, who had just finished spreading the powder up and down the planting tower and flew near, was not noticed.

…

Teacher Shizuka: "Eh? Is there a newcomer here?"

Xiao Zhao: "Welcome! I heard before that Liang Yue found a girlfriend outside, but left temporarily because of some things~"

Yang Buhui: "Say hello first, come to the Water Margin public world to play with us when you have time. This is a world that is in ancient China, come and experience life together occasionally."

Arwen: "Hello."

Saya Takagi: "Elizabeth is finally here too? I've heard so much about you~"

Yuriko: "Hello, I am Saya's mother. If you have just joined, it is best to let Liang Yue take you to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment first, and then go to the Dark Instance to become a professional.

I seem to have heard Liang Yue say that you are a witch, so it seems to be very suitable for the mage profession in the Dark World~"

Elizabeth: "Hello everyone, I just came in, and there are still many things I don’t understand. I may really need to adapt for a while…"

Teacher Shizuka: "It's okay, take your time. The time in the stronghold world is a bit different from the outside world. The flow rate is currently ten times!~"

Yang Buhui: "If you are a witch, it is best to learn a close combat martial art and at least learn a good movement technique, so that you will not suffer when fighting enemies in the future~"

Saya Takagi: "Let Liang Yue give you a Chaos Egg first, from which you can hatch a pet that belongs to you, so you can take it to the instance to upgrade."

Xiao Zhao: "I heard that recently several of Liang Yue's classmates were also recruited into the stronghold world as natives. Maybe you can try to go to the instance with them first."

Elizabeth: "Thank you, I still don't have any clues now, my mind is a little confused~"

…

While gently touching Yu Linglong's soft fleshy head with her finger, she hung a glass tube filled with high-quality nectar on the branch for the little fellow to use.

On the other hand, Liang Yue did not forget to distract himself, secretly aiming at Elizabeth's chat box with the women, but was quickly discovered.

Faced with the little girl's death glare that was like a smile, Liang Yue decisively turned his sleeves over and took out a Chaos Egg from his backpack and stuffed it into her hand.

"The Chaos Egg they are talking about is this thing. Drip a drop of blood on it to hatch. The rank and talent of the pet will be affected by your own bloodline and strength."

"Is this the reason you said before, the world is too big and your family is too small?"

Snatching the egg from Liang Yue's hand unhappily, Elizabeth then looked at him with a puffed-up face.

Accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window, a handful of golden red colors sprinkled on the other person's face through the gaps in the dense branches and leaves, with interlaced light and dark and colorful colors.

In the shadows, a pair of crystal-clear eyes appeared particularly deep, like a wonderful watercolor painting that was intoxicating.

"Hehe he~"

"Hmph!"

After a while, until she saw the figures of Peter and Gwen in the village below, Elizabeth snorted lightly, hugged the egg in her arms, and turned to leave.
