My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 61: Lily

These two women were undoubtedly two half-human, half-fox women in a spirit form.

As they bickered with each other, there was an ordinary old man without hair and an aged beard at the side of them, looking at them both with a bitter expression on his face. He was also similar to them in spirit form.

"Lily and Edith, stop arguing with each other," the old man said with a sigh on his face.

"When did we argue, old man? Don't interrupt us," almost both of them said simultaneously at the same time, which made the old man shake his head with a sigh.

"Big sister, why do you have such hatred towards the entire race of primordial demons anyway?" Lily said with a frown on her small face.

"Because of…" Edith wanted to say, however, she gritted her teeth, choosing not to say it instead.

"Tell me for once, sister," Lily asked with a huff. In her babyface, where the baby fat was still there even in the spirit form, she looked cuter even when she was angry.

Seeing this, Edith smiled, which caused Lily to be even angrier.

"Big sister, take me seriously."

"Alright, alright," Edith conceded. However, she soon laughed seeing the cute anger of her little sister.

"You… meanie…" Lily's eyes were filled with tears seeing her big sister not taking her seriously.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes," Lily's ears perked up as she wagged her furry tail excitedly, looking at her sister.

"One of the primordial demons killed our master. Not once, not twice. Every time, all our masters till now have died at the hands of the primordial demons, till now."

"How come I don't remember?" Lily frowned.

Seeing the frowning Lily, Edith revealed a strange expression on her face. "You witness all this, however, since you are more deeply imprinted than any of us to the holy book, the moment the master dies, you will instantly have all your memories wiped out. That's why you don't know," she muttered in a hushed tone.

In fact, Lily was the most powerful spirit in this dimension and could take the entire control of the book whenever she wants. They can only take control of the book if she lets them both take control.

"What was I talking about?" Lily suddenly questioned with blank eyes, as if she was dead already.

"It happened again," Edith said with a bitter smile.

"I told you not to say anything to that girl. You just won't understand," the bald man suddenly voiced.

"What can I do other than tell her? After all, she considers me as her big sister," Edith said with a speechless expression.

Hearing this, the old man narrowed his eyes. "You know she isn't really your sister, right?"

"Yes, yes," Edith replied with helplessness.

"Sister, sister, let's play," Lily suddenly came up to her with a happy expression as she wagged her tail like a happy dog.

"Okay," Edith answered with a gentle gaze, seeing the cute Lily.

Seeing this, the old man shook his head as he fell silent. "I wonder what kind of secret this girl has…" he mused to himself.

…

Williams returned back to his room, greeted by a row of bootlicking people, seeing this he frowned.

"Williams, you are so handsome, not only did you beat up that bully, but you also made even the third elder retreat…"

"You are a true hero."

William couldn't help but smile when he heard this as he rubbed his nose sheepishly.

"Can you excuse me, brothers?" William suddenly voiced as he saw Amelia sitting in the corner silently.

"Of course, Hero Williams."

"I am no hero, but thanks, guys," he said as he made his way through the crowd to Amelia.

While Angel followed him with a smile on her face.

"Miss Amelia…"

"What is it?" Amelia coldly questioned, interrupting him instantly.

"Umm, I would like to-"

"Like to what?"

William was flustered by Amelia's interruption, which made him forget what he was about to say.

Seeing the pink-haired beauty in front of him made him even more flustered.

Amelia smirked internally, thinking, "Too easy." Would Henry really have the guts to harass the only daughter of the village leader? Of course not, it was just a ploy she cooked up to get close to Williams. Poor Henry, who did nothing wrong, was blamed for everything for nothing.

"If you want, you can sit here, Williams," Amelia said, a blush appearing on her cold face as she beckoned Williams.

Williams' smile brightened as he stood right next to her and started to enjoy the meal together, with a small blush even on his own face.

"Why is this bastard blushing? Am I the woman or are you the woman?" Amelia thought, smiling outwardly as she subtly started the conversation with Williams, to the point it felt like Williams was hitting on her instead.

Soon they were immersed in their conversation, under the helpless eyes of everyone present in the room.

They had hoped to bootlick Williams for benefits; however, in this context, it was impossible.

William seemed to want to hit on Amelia, and if they interrupted their conversation, that would be even more counterproductive and might attack Williams's ire instead. As for Amelia, no one wanted to offend her, after all, she was the only daughter of the patriarch.

Thinking of this, everyone remained silent as the laughter of Williams and Amelia echoed in the room.

Aur returned to his own room as well, with a smile on his face.

"Brother Aur, what did he talk to you about?" Leo suddenly asked with a smile on his face.

"You mean me? Williams just apologised to me and left," Aur replied with a shrug.

"Huh, apologise?" Leo was stunned when he heard this and looked at Aur strangely.

However, Aur just shrugged and started to eat his dinner again without a care. Leo could form assumptions on his own, and Aur wouldn't care about explaining things to him.

"Let me feed you, young master," Lucy suddenly voiced, blushing.

Aur was momentarily surprised but then smiled and nodded his head. "It would be my honour."

"I am just a servant, young master, it is my duty," Lucy said with a smile on her face and started to feed him one by one.

Aur just smiled and opened his mouth.

Leo was speechless, seeing the love chemistry between them. "Is he really stupid?" he couldn't help but wonder.

"Maybe I have overestimated him for being smart…" Leo looked at his own servant with a sneer on his face.

Aur wasn't the only one who could guess what these servants were for; many of the richer family knew already because they were told by their family.

Only the poor household kids wouldn't know that these servants were the spy of the academy.

However, unlike Aur, most of them avoided the servant and barely talked to them. While Aur was having a lovey-dovey romance with his servant, Leo assumed that Aur didn't know.

Thinking of this, Leo shook his head with disappointment. "He has all brawn but no brains. I should be close to such a type of guy; he is easy to manipulate," he sneered, thinking of this.

Soon the banquet ended as everyone went back to their places.
