Chapter 162: Irene's Conditions
"Miss Irene, what do you want?" Li Wei asked, frowning a little, but he also decided that if it's something he can do, then he will accept this deal.
Because the church was famous for their battle tactics and always returned with almost no casualties when on dangerous quests.
Even the royal family envied it as they couldn't achieve this with their highly trained troops.
They tried to negotiate with the church to obtain these tactics, but it was futile. The church only taught them to heroes and their parties.
But now Li Wei has a chance to acquire them. So, how could he let it go when it can save the lives of his companions and even his own?
Li Xin and others who heard Irene also knew this and looked at Irene with a stunned expression.
They didn't understand why she was willing to teach them these battle tactics that they didn't even give to the royal family.
'Is she going to ask something dangerous?' Li Xin and others thought with worry. Even Alice and Elva were the same as they looked at Li Wei with panic.
They all knew he didn't care about anything but protecting Li Xin and them. If the conditions were only dangerous and not life-threatening, he will definitely accept it.
"You all don't need to worry. It's a little dangerous, but not something that will harm him if he hides his identity," Irene assured Li Xin and others as she watched their worried looks and turned towards Li Wei, who was waiting for her answer.
"Li Wei, my conditions are simple. The first is that you pretend to be my lover when I ask you to, of course as Lucifer, so you won't get into trouble."
"But this task is still a little dangerous because my level 250 father won't just sit and watch, so think it through," Irene stated and continued before he could say something.
"My second request is also dangerous as I need your help to flee from my home, and you have to let me stay at your villa until my father stops searching for me," she said, looking at Li Wei, who was still calm after hearing her.
"Miss Irene, how sure are you about not getting tracked to my villa?" Li Wei inquired after pondering a little.
He wouldn't mind pretending to be her lover as long as she can teach the battle tactics to everyone. It is something that can save their lives and yet another card for him to protect them.
The more ways he has to save them, the more relieved he was. And if he can get something like this by just pretending and helping Irene run away, he would definitely do it.
Because everything was okay as long as he kept his identity hidden.
However if she stays at his villa, problems will arise if she ever gets tracked, and he will get into some serious trouble while dragging Li Xin and others with him.
He was doing this to protect them, and if something like this happens, then there was no need to consider this.
Irene, too, knew this, so she didn't feel surprised at his question.
"Li Wei, you don't need to worry. If I hadn't done any preparation, I wouldn't be asking you this. Of course, if you still have doubts, then arrange for me a new villa using another identity so there will be no problems even if they track me down," she suggested, sensing his worry.
After fleeing from home, what she needed was a place to hide, and the best option was a high-class villa bought by someone where her father won't be able to search as he wishes.
If not, his remaining pitiful good reputation left by her will also become black.
'Humph, father, you better not try to find me, or your remaining reputation will definitely go black, and you will be called a heinous pope in history,' Irene thought to herself with a snort.
While Li Wei, who didn't know her thoughts, became relieved after hearing her.
'Now I don't have to worry about dragging Li Xin and others into this,' he thought to himself and turned towards Irene, who was done cursing her father silently.
"Miss Irene, I will agree to help you with this, but if this task becomes life-threatening, I will retreat immediately," he stated, placing a condition.
He was trying to protect everyone, but it doesn't mean he will play with life just because of a few things that he can get after becoming strong or pretending to be a real hero with a different identity.
It's just that he can get the battle tactics earlier and more easily from Irene. So why go the hard way where he had to fight some bad people and help others to prove he is a hero?
As he thought of this, he glanced at Irene, who was pondering something in silence. And after a while, she nodded, wrinkling her nose cutely at him.
"Mhmm, okay, you can retreat if it's really a life-threatening situation, but you have to give me a lot of snow to play with, about the size of your villa, and I want twenty times that amount," she requested with a pout, making him and others stunned.
"Miss Irene, are you kidding me? Do you know how much MP it will take to make that much snow? I don't think any normal person can do it," Li Wei replied, shaking his head. But to his surprise, Irene nodded, agreeing with him.
"I know it's impossible to create this much snow unless you have a specific skill for it. But I didn't say I wanted all of it today. Just create it when you have time, and I will store it in my item box to play with later," Irene replied with a proud expression and puffing her mini chest as if she was doing a great job.
Watching her like this, Li Wei and others became speechless.
'So she is stockpiling snow. What a weird habit,' Li Wei thought, sighing inwardly, and nodded at her.
"Okay, I will do my best to create that much snow," he replied, agreeing with her.
With his one million MP, it wasn't that difficult to make that much snow, but it will still take two or three days as he didn't have any special skills to create snow only.
As he thought of this, he couldn't help but ponder.
'I should buy miscellaneous skills like this. Maybe I can use it to distract Li Xin and Li Yin to plot against me,' he muttered in his mind, clearly knowing Li Xin wasn't going to stop with the harem idea even after two weeks.
When suddenly he felt Li Xin looking at him with a doubtful gaze.
(Brother, were you thinking something bad about me?) she asked with telepathy, making Li Wei stiff.
'Damn, her sixth sense is terrible,' Li Wei cursed in his mind as he replied.
(XinXin, I am not thinking anything. Maybe it's just that you are missing my kisses and hugs,) he said shamelessly with a playful tone.
(Humph, scoundrel, only thinking of dirty things. You should focus on Miss Irene who is waiting for our conversation to end with grief as you are ignoring her,) Li Xin stated as she looked at Irene, who was looking sadly at Li Wei and her direction.
She wasn't able to hear what they were talking about, but it was easy for her to notice their telepathic link with her spirit eyes.
'Damn, I should hurry and level up telepathy skill more,' Li Wei thought as he saw Irene noticing this.
"Ahem, Miss Irene, I will create snow immediately for you. Until then, why don't you sit and take rest?" he suggested.
But to his surprise, Irene shook her head.
"I will teach you all some battle tactics first so you can use them in the upcoming battles with monsters. It won't be lifesaving, but it will definitely improve your ability to fight back. As for the snow, you can help me after I am done teaching this," she replied with a serious expression.
"Then, as you wish, Miss Irene," Li Wei nodded, agreeing with her, and glanced at Li Xin and others who were sitting on the sofa with comfort.
"Hey, what are you guys lazing around for? Get up and greet your renowned teacher, Miss Irene, who will teach you how to become strong," he said with a strict expression, making Irene blush at his words.
"Li Wei, you are not allowed to tease your teacher, or I will punish you," Irene replied with a glare and a cute pout.
But Li Wei didn't care and was about to reply when Li Xin intruded.
"Brother, what sister-in-law says is right. You are not allowed to tease her when she is in the teacher role," Li Xin stated with a strict expression while feeling happy in her heart as he had stopped distancing himself from others.
It was only for two weeks as their promise, but it was enough for her plans to succeed.
'Let's see where you are going to escape now,' she thought, smiling inwardly and started to think how she will heal his wound with the help of others.
