Chapter Fifty-One: The Nameless Cave

  Hearing Liriel's voice, Tang Jie let out a long sigh and shook his head.

  What a little devil who's going to get someone killed!

  He gently patted Lilith's waist: "Hey, go down."

  Lilith's eyes widened as she looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What are you talking about?"

  Tang Jie saw her like this and wanted to get angry, but couldn't, so he raised his palm again: "Get up! If you don't get up, I'll spank your butt again!"

  Lilith immediately jumped up, covering her buttocks with both hands, looking at Tang Jie in a frightened manner, and backing away several steps before turning around to run.

  Tang Jie shouted loudly: "Where are you going to run? It's just this big here, where do you think you can run?"

  Lilith stopped in her tracks, not daring to move again, her eyes tensely staring at Tang Jie, afraid that he would turn into a wild beast the next second and devour her.

  Tang Jie stared at the girl with a tight gaze, and after a while, he slowly asked a very silly question: "What's your name?"

  Lilith was taken aback, thinking to herself, "Didn't I just say my own name?"

  "But she didn't dare say more, whispering: 'Nate Lirius.'"

  "Lilith, Lilith..." Tang Jie whispered the name. "The name sounds nice, what a pity...what a pity..."

  Lilith was like a highly vigilant little cat, her two bright blue eyes staring tightly at Tang Jie. She didn't understand what Tang Jie's "what a pity" meant, but she could feel that this person's hostility towards her had decreased significantly.

  Tang Jie saw her so vigilant, smiled: "Don't be nervous, we're all trapped here, let's talk about the past after we get out, as long as you don't bother me, I won't eat you."

  Lilith heard this and immediately became overjoyed, taking two steps forward and speaking rapidly: "Really? Lilith won't bother you, Lilith will be very well-behaved! I can help you with laundry, help you cook, help you massage your back, help you give massages, and even help keep your bed warm! As long as you don't eat me, I'll be very well-behaved! Just like I am with my teacher Fiona!"

  Huh? This little girl is quite capable, can wash clothes and cook? Can also give massages and warm the bed? Huh, not bad! Huh, huh...huh?

  Warm bed? !

  Tang Jie was walking slowly in the cave, observing his surroundings, when he heard this and took half a day to come back to himself. He suddenly stumbled and almost fell.

  He stared with wide eyes, turning back to look at Lirien as if she were a monster.

  Is this girl really stupid or just pretending?

  This bachelor and spinster, living alone in a room, hum, suddenly she said something like "warm bed"?

  Is she not afraid that I will turn into a beast and really eat her?

  Tang Jie looked up and down at Lilith, his face full of incredulity.

  Lilith's hair color is the same as Nia's, also a head of golden hair. The difference is that Nia has a waterfall-like golden straight long hair, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, while Lilith's hair is a medium-length golden hair with a slight curl, exuding a fresh and lovely youthful aura.

  Tang Jie's eyes widened as he stared at Lilith, who also opened her eyes wide in confusion, staring blankly at the man in front of her, completely unaware of how terrifying her previous words were.

  She saw Tang Jie's expression was off, and she asked weakly: "Did I say something wrong just now?"

  Tang Jie had a defeated expression on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Don't you know that saying something like this will make people want to attack you?"

  "Attack me? Why attack me?" Liriel blinked her extremely large eyes and asked innocently.

  Tang Jie rubbed his temples, opened his mouth, and thought for a long time before saying: "You want to know that in this world there are many good people, but also many bad people. These bad people, they will always attack girls like you..."

  Tang Jie said, but found that Lilith was staring at him with a pair of blue eyes, looking surprised and delighted.

  Tang Jie didn't understand: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

  Lilith put her hands on her chest and said loudly: "My teacher also said so!"

  Tang Jie burst out laughing: "Ah, is that so? Has your teacher said the same thing before? Then why didn't your teacher teach you to be careful with what you say when you're alone with a strange man?"

  Lilith blinked: "My teacher didn't teach me these things?"

  Tang Jie let out a sigh, feeling quite sympathetic and broad-minded: "Listen, a girl like you must never say anything about a warm bed to a stranger, especially a strange man!"

  "Why?" Lirien asked in puzzlement.

  Tang Jie felt a headache coming on. This girl was like a newborn, completely clueless about human relationships and social norms, as innocent as a single-celled organism!

  "Because, because all men in this world are not 'good' guys." Tang Jie explained with a self-satisfied smile.

  Lilith's eyes shone again and she said loudly: "My teacher also said that!"

  "Oh? What did your teacher say?" Tang Jie was somewhat curious.

  "My teacher said all men under the sky are lechers!" Lilith said.

  Tang Jie nodded: "That's right!"

  Lilith got Tangjie's affirmation and continued: "My teacher also said that all men under the sky are unfaithful, a bunch of bastards!"

  Tang Jie heard Lilith say this with a naive and romantic tone, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, with an awkward expression.

  Lilith's most revered person was her teacher Fiona, and she took almost every word of hers as gospel truth. She continued: "My teacher also said that all the men in this world are worthless, even more worthless than a donkey. They won't budge no matter how you coax them, but if you hit them, they'll retreat. As soon as they see a woman, they'll think of ways to take advantage of her. Therefore, men are the worst and most terrifying creatures in this world."

  Tang Jie raised an eyebrow.

  It turns out that this girl's habit of being afraid of people is from her teacher, no wonder she was scared of me as soon as she saw me...

  "My teacher also said that all the men in this world are greedy for women's beauty, and once a woman is old and faded, they will abandon her without hesitation. Therefore, all the men in this world should be killed!"

  Tang Jie's forehead throbbed with blue veins.

  "My teacher also said..."

  Tang Jie couldn't help it anymore and let out a loud roar: "What else did your teacher say?"

  Lilith was startled, her eyes wide with fear as she stared at the furious man. Her lips trembled and tears welled up in her eyes, on the verge of falling.

  Tang Jie took one look at her and suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt, as if he had wronged her in some way, his head throbbing with pain.

  He forced a smile and said: "Nothing, don't cry, I just got a bit excited and spoke from the heart. Your teacher is really... too good to you."

  Lilith's tears came quickly and went just as fast, she wiped the corner of her eye and burst out laughing: "Of course, my teacher was so good to Lilith! Unfortunately, Lilith didn't listen to her words, sneaking out alone without knowing how worried she must be about me now..."

  After finishing speaking, Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a little melancholy and sad.

  Tang Jie couldn't help but persuade: "So, you see, your teacher is so concerned about you and treats you so well, you should listen to her more. Don't say anything about being a warm bed again in the future. Think about it, those men your teacher talked about are really scary!"

  Lilith lifted her head and nodded vigorously: "I understand!"

  Tang Jie nodded in relief, this little girl doesn't seem too stupid after all!

  Lilith finished speaking, paused for a moment, and then asked: "So, what did the teacher mean by those men being good-looking rascals, having wandering thoughts, and what's with warming the bed? I often warm my teacher's bed..."

  Tang Jie's forehead throbbed with a tangled mess of blue veins, his face twisted in a frenzy.

  Damn it, I'm sick, what's the point of talking to her about this?

  She and I are sworn enemies! I'm already full, why bother showing kindness!

  Is it not looking for trouble to talk about these things with this single-celled creature?

  Tang Jie suppressed the urge to scold Lili and forced a smile: "Nothing, don't ask, you'll understand later."

  Lilith clutched her chest with both hands and shouted in surprise: "Huh? This sentence, the teacher also told me before!"

  Tang Jie covered his forehead with his hand and escaped like a fugitive, letting out a moan: "I know I was wrong, don't say anything else!"

  Lilith looked at Tangie with a strange gaze, seeing his angry appearance, and vaguely felt some incomprehension. Her impression of him was no longer as terrifying as before, and she secretly thought to herself: This person doesn't seem so bad after all?

  She was originally a magician from the Magic Capital of Mosambique, with exceptional talent, and at the age of fifteen, she had already passed and registered as a fifth-level fire magic magician in the Mosambique Magician's Guild.

  Lilith grew up in the magical capital of Mosambique, never stepping out of the Ivory Tower. At the age of thirteen, she accidentally saw a giant luxury merchant ship from the Pond Empire, whose extravagance and momentum shocked her for a moment.

  After this, Lilith began to inquire about the outside world constantly.

  She was gifted beyond others, with a sweet and lovely appearance, an innocent and romantic personality, not understanding human relationships, and on top of that, she was also the student of Queen Fiona, the magical queen, so the magicians in the magician's guild were very fond of her, treating her like a treasure, one by one tirelessly telling her about the wonderful world outside.

  There is an unwritten rule in the Mages Guild of Mor'Shakk that if a teacher thinks their student isn't ready to venture out, they can't leave Mor'Shakk and enter the outside world.

  Those old magicians who doted on Lirien made the outside world sound all the more wondrous, and she yearned for it all the more.

  One day, Lirien finally plucked up the courage and slipped out of the magical capital of Mor'sebik alone, embarking on her thrilling adventure.

  It's astonishing to think that, despite her formidable strength, she was a young and beautiful girl with no guile or understanding of human nature. As soon as she arrived at the port of Berwick in York State, she was swindled out of all her jewels and gold.

  Fortunately, she inadvertently revealed her magician's robe to the swindlers, who were so frightened that they hastily took their treasures and escaped, thus sparing her from being sold into a brothel.

  Lilith, penniless and homeless, wandered the streets, cold and hungry, wrapped in her wizard's robe, drooling over the fragrant bread in a shop window when she met someone, a "good Samaritan" in her eyes.

  This good fellow was none other than Baiselieu himself.

  Bisai happened to be passing by Bell Rick that day, and as he rode in his carriage, he inadvertently glanced over at Lirius' side and was shocked to discover this destitute fifth-level magician!

  Bisaiyu saw the innocent and childlike Lilith, he was overjoyed, treated her like a noble guest, serving her with delicious food and drink, entertaining her with fun activities and providing her with comfortable accommodations.

  Lilith was deceived of her treasure, when she was so hungry that she was about to collapse, such an old man with a warm smile brought her delicious food and a warm bed, how could she not think that Bisqueleur is a very "good person"?

  Tang Jie was a restless person, he was exploring the cave while chatting with Lilith in a fragmented manner. After listening to Lilith's unreserved account of her life and experiences, he couldn't help but be stunned into silence.

  She was used as a gun, brutally and mercilessly killing the old captain Ball, while she herself was completely unaware of it, only feeling that she should repay her "benefactor".

  Facing the simple and childish yet leaving him speechless Liru, Tang didn't know whether he should cry or laugh loudly.

  In Lilith's mind, Bar and he were the ones who did Baiselou wrong, she helped Baiselou deal with them, it was a matter of course, she just played the role of a sharp tool, or a naive but powerful sharp tool.

  So silly and naive!

  Tang Jie's face sank, and in his heart, he made a heavy note of Liru's name.

  Tang Jie carefully examined the surrounding rock walls in the cave, but still couldn't find any way out. He turned around and walked to the water pool in the cave, staring at the deep and mysterious seawater, thinking silently in his heart.

  It seems that there is no way out around here. Perhaps I can be swept by the whirlpool in the sea to this place, and I can also get out from here.

  He thought of this and walked into the sea, took a breath, and dived in.

  Lilith saw that he didn't even say hello, and then dived into the sea. She was startled, and also walked to the seaside, propping herself up to look out at the sea.

  Where did he go?

  Lilith's eyes showed a hint of puzzlement.

  Tang Jie dived into the sea, but found himself in a long and deep underwater tunnel.

  This tunnel is extremely spacious, with a diameter of tens of meters wide. The terrain slopes downward from top to bottom. On the stone walls of the tunnel, sea stars, sea cucumbers and various other rare marine animals are crawling about. All around, colorful fish swim in clusters, completely unafraid of Tang Jie. They dart back and forth beside him, and with his eyes closed, he can reach out and grab one with a single stretch of his hand.

  Tang Jie gazed at the wondrous sights around him in the sea, and couldn't help but feel a little awed. He looked downwards towards the tunnel, only to see that except for some self-luminous fish lighting up their surroundings, the dark sea was pitch black, and he couldn't even see where the entrance of the cave was.

  Tang Jie swam tens of meters in the direction of the cave entrance without realizing it, and only started swimming back when he couldn't hold his breath any longer.

  But when he turned back, he found that he had already swum too far, the dozens of meters of distance now seemed incredibly distant, this breath was suffocating, his whole body felt like it was on fire, Tang Jie was terrified, his soul left his body, and he frantically swam back with all his might!

  Fortunately, when swimming back, the direction of the water flow was just the same, and Tang Jie quickly swam to the shore of the cave.

  With a "whoosh" sound, Tang Jie poked his head out, panting heavily with his mouth open wide, his face flushed purple-red, and his heart racing like a drumbeat.

  What a close call! I almost suffocated in there!
