Chapter 116

Although he looked a bit thinner and not as sturdy as before, he had a more aesthetic appeal.

His facial contours and features had reached the absolute pinnacle of perfection—no matter the angle, he was devastatingly handsome.

After looking himself over, Li An frowned slightly, not very satisfied with his current self.

He still preferred his old look—sunny, sturdy, and handsome!

Now he leaned toward an androgynous look, giving off a pale, thin, girlish vibe, exactly like Gojo Satoru.

Zenin Maki watched Li An frown in silence, as if thinking of something, and asked with a smile, "You don't like how you look now?"

"Mm!" Li An nodded.

"Hehe, but I love it—so handsome!" Zenin Maki's eyes lit up as she reached out to stroke Li An's chest, gradually turning into a star-struck fangirl.

Good lord, so you like idols too!

Back at the villa, Zenin Maki saw Azriel and the other two girls, and combined with the changes to Li An's body, she immediately understood that Li An had gone to another world again today.

"Who are they?" Zenin Maki asked.

"Azriel, Jibril—they're Winged species, and also Shuvi, who belongs to the Ex Machina species. They're now the younger sisters I've taken in." Li An gave a brief introduction of the three girls.

Then, turning to the three girls, he introduced, "This is Zenin Maki, my girlfriend. Like you, she's not from this world—she just came here to train."

The three girls' original attitude toward Zenin Maki was arrogant; they didn't even want to bother with her.

After all, in their eyes, humans were just monkeys.

But upon hearing Li An say she was his girlfriend, their expressions immediately shifted to respect.

This was the future lady of the house—she absolutely could not be offended!

"Hello!" Zenin Maki nodded politely.

As a discarded child of the Zenin family, she had been stared at with all kinds of gazes since childhood, so she was very sensitive to looks—and naturally noticed the change in the three girls' eyes.

But she wasn't angry; instead, it gave her even more motivation to train.

Although she was currently earning respect through her status as Li An's girlfriend, she would work even harder to grow stronger and earn their respect through her own power in the future!

After the girls became acquainted with one another, Li An planned to take them all out to eat.

Hestia, the head housekeeper, couldn't cook, and Li An himself didn't want to either.

So the simplest option was to go to the Hostess of Fertility.

There he could also see his favorite useless elf, Liliruca.

Calling Hestia along, they left the villa and set off toward the tavern.

However, when they arrived at the tavern, they saw it packed full of people inside.

This time of day was the tavern's busiest period, because the adventurers who had gone to the dungeon during the day had all returned, taking the magic stones they'd obtained to the Guild's exchange to convert into money, then coming to the tavern in groups of two or three to feast and drink—utterly content.

Li An and the others stood outside the shop, saw how many people there were, and planned to switch to a different restaurant.

But the catgirl Anya spotted them and immediately ran out, saying, "Welcome~ meow, we still have a private room inside~ meow."

"Then the private room it is," Li An said indifferently.

"I'll take you to the private room right away~ meow!" Anya said happily at once.

Azriel and the others curiously took in everything around them.

They hadn't expected the humans of this world to have developed so well, and that beastfolk were even called demi-humans.

In Baldur's World, beastfolk were a race ranked above humans.

And elves—the elves of this world were actually the same as the Forest species.

In Baldur's World, elves were the third-ranked existence, and also the source of magic for all races.

But this world actually called the Forest species "elves"—it was just too bizarre; they couldn't understand it at all.

Li An noticed the surprise and curiosity in the three girls' eyes, but he didn't bother to explain anything.

Because Zenin Maki was already giving them a popular-science rundown, introducing everything about this world.

Although she herself didn't know much, having lived in this world for a full month, she still knew the basics.

After arriving at the private room, Li An let the girls order whatever they liked to eat.

Azriel and the others weren't familiar with this world's food, so Li An ordered some things on their behalf.

Before long, all sorts of delicacies were brought out.

The girls didn't hold back, digging in with big bites.

Eating and chatting as they went, Azriel and her two companions quickly became familiar with Hestia and Zenin Maki.

After the meal, on the way back, Zenin Maki couldn't wait to drag Li An off to wash up and rest.

She was already dying to feel just how powerful Li An's current divine body was!

But before that, she still had to update her Falna first.

In the days that followed, Li An began a salted-fish lifestyle.

Zenin Maki, however, kicked off even more grueling monster-hunting training.

Fighting monsters in the dungeon during the day, practicing martial arts and magic at night.

Luo Hao's Earth-Shrinking Divine Foot had already been mastered by her, and she had also mastered the first six moves of the Flying Phoenix Twelve Divine Palms.

A month later, Zenin Maki finally maxed out her ability stats again.

【Ability Stats】: Strength: S999 | Endurance: S999 | Dexterity: S999 | Agility: S999 | Magic: SS1099

This time, she successfully broke through the limit of her magic stat, raising it to SS rank.

This was mainly thanks to Luo Hao's Eight Wastes Six Directions Sole Supremacy Art, which raised magic at an exceptionally fast rate.

Moreover, using magic while fighting monsters in the dungeon also increased her magic stat.

Under this dual growth, she finally broke through the magic limit.

For this level-up, Zenin Maki chose Resistance as her development ability—also a jack-of-all-trades development ability that most adventurers would pick.

After all, this Development ability is just too useful — it has resistance to all sorts of negative debuffs, like poison, paralysis, stun, curse, confusion, bleed, petrification, and so on.

It's practically a life-saving divine skill!

This time, going from Lv2 to Lv3 also took a full month; there are still 40 days left before the 100-day deadline!

In order to let Zenin Maki speed up, Li An decided to let her fully awaken her Heavenly Restriction, becoming a true Heavenly Tyrant!

The solution was very simple — use the Glutton King to devour the last trace of cursed energy within her body.

As long as the cursed energy inside her drops to zero, the Heavenly Restriction will be complete!

When Li An brought this up with Zenin Maki, she agreed.

The process was very simple — Li An only had to touch her body once, and the Glutton King had already devoured all the cursed energy within her.

Immediately after, Zenin Maki erupted!

With the restriction complete, she felt her physical body rapidly growing stronger.

Strength, endurance, speed, defense, reaction — everything was multiplying.

Zenin Maki felt her own tremendous power, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, she had absolute confidence that she could reach Lv4 within 40 days!

And so, having awakened her Heavenly Restriction, she decided to embark on another expedition — and a deep-layer one at that!

Li An naturally agreed; after all, the current Maki was a Heavenly Tyrant, whose physical body alone was enough to match an Lv5 existence!

Placed within the Jujutsu Society, she was unquestionably Special Grade.

However, an expedition required carrying a large amount of supplies — food alone had to be brought in great quantity.

Besides that, there were all sorts of recovery potions.

For example, healing potions, stamina recovery potions, mental recovery potions, mana recovery potions, and so on.

In short, there were many things to carry on an expedition!

But for the current Li An, this was extremely simple.

He directly mobilized divine power to create a storage ring of 100 cubic meters, then gave it to Zenin Maki.

Zenin Maki was overjoyed when she received the ring.

That very night, she fulfilled all of Li An's perverted demands — the two of them played in ways too wild to describe!

Perhaps Zenin Maki also knew that this expedition meant at least a month without seeing each other, so she let herself go completely, fighting fiercely for an entire night!

The next day, Zenin Maki set off on her expedition to the dungeon.

Li An returned to his salted-fish life — every day he either went to eat at the Bountiful Lady's place, or went to the pleasure quarter to look at beautiful women.

Of course, he only went to drink flower wine, and never stayed the night.

The Amazon girls in this pleasure quarter were basically the type where a thousand men have tasted those vermilion lips, and a thousand have rested on those jade-white arms.

Li An has mysophobia — he doesn't like "public buses"!
