Chapter 262: Six Pairs of Men and Women
"I encountered a formidable guy, a strange man who appeared out of nowhere. I was careless, and all the followers of love I brought along were wiped out. That guy, dressed in a black robe, stared at me with a round silver head, extremely strange. In just a few moves, he defeated all my followers of love. He was so strong that when he got close, I had no power to resist."
"Huh, you encountered that guy too?"
Kidd's words made the other two turn their heads to look at him.
Darnell frowned.
"Kidd, you encountered him too?"
Kidd nodded gloomily.
"I don't know where that guy came from. In just a few moves, he had me pinned down. My super psychic power was completely useless against him."
Kidd and Fraude both encountered that guy?
"Could it be a Sword God hired by Duke Ferrandy?"
At Darnell's guess, the two exchanged glances.
Kidd shook his head with a thoughtful expression.
"That's unlikely. Those old guys can't be swayed by money."
Fraude nodded in agreement.
The Sword Gods and Magic Gods of every nation had signed contracts.
They would not participate in wars between nations.
They would only act when humanity faced extinction.
Anyone who dared to violate this contract would be hunted by all god-level powerhouses.
"Forget it, this operation still yielded some results, heh heh!"
Darnell pulled out a pitch-black crystal ball from his chest.
Seeing the black crystal ball in Darnell's hand, the two finally smiled faintly.
Yes, despite some troubles,
it wasn't without any gains.
"Heh heh!"
For a moment, eerie laughter echoed through the dim forest.
In the outer district of Obenlo City, in an abandoned house.
On the second floor, in a certain room.
Li Meng looked at the men and women before him, his face filled with frustration.
There were twelve people, all paired up.
Among the six women, two were King-level Archmages.
Among the six men, three were King-level Archmages.
One was a Sword Saint, a man.
One was a Magic Saint, a woman.
The two Saint-level powerhouses seemed to be a pair.
They instinctively stayed close together.
Fraude wasn't dead, so the contract was still intact.
However, Li Meng doubted that even if the contract disappeared, these people could regain their sanity.
"Xiao Bai, do you know what's going on?"
Now, Li Meng could only hope Xiao Bai had some answers.
"The power of the Divine Child is unpredictable. As for the King of Lust's abilities, I don't know either. However, based on what that guy said last night, restoring their sanity might require them to perform... bedroom activities. As long as the power born from love isn't taken away by the Contract Master, they should gradually recover their consciousness."
"But even if they regain their sanity, they might not be able to sever their connection with that guy."
Xiao Bai's last sentence made Li Meng roll his eyes.
Shaking his head, Li Meng plopped down onto the floor.
Cross-legged, Li Meng stared intently at the group of men and women.
If he had known earlier, he would've just killed them outright.
"Oh, got it!"
A spark of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Li Meng had an idea.
"Xiao Bai, if they die once, will it sever their connection with that guy?"
"It should. Death is the end of a contract."
Li Meng grinned widely, having come up with a plan.
"Great, let's restore their sanity first."
But soon after, Li Meng was faced with a dilemma.
These men and women wouldn't listen to him.
How could he get them to willingly... perform marital acts?
Li Meng stood up and approached the Saint-level powerhouse couple.
He reached out and poked the man's chest.
Neither of them reacted; they just stared blankly at him.
Li Meng then approached the woman.
His bandaged hand rested on her ample chest.
This time, the man reacted.
He lowered his head and looked at Li Meng's bandaged hand.
Seeing the man react, Li Meng smiled slyly.
Retracting his right hand, he grabbed the man's hand and placed it on the woman's chest.
But to Li Meng's disappointment, the man showed no further reaction.
Looking at the pair before him, Li Meng's expression turned thoughtful.
What kind of love was this? If love was just this, then love was truly pathetic.
Shaking his head, Li Meng grabbed the woman's hand.
He led her out of the room.
The man followed them blankly.
Leaving the room, Li Meng brought the woman into another room.
This room seemed to be the master bedroom of the house's previous owner.
Although abandoned, it showed signs of occasional cleaning.
Upon entering, Li Meng brought the woman to the bedside.
Then he pushed the man towards the woman.
"You two have a good talk. I won't disturb you!"
Saying this, Li Meng turned around and walked out.
Closing the door behind him, he left a small gap.
Peering through the gap, Li Meng observed the pair.
The two just stood facing each other blankly.
"It's not working?"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Meng's eyes.
Did he need to provoke them further?
Earlier, the man did show some reaction.
His gaze fell on the man's hand, which had been placed on the woman's chest.
Maybe their consciousness was intact.
They just couldn't control their bodies.
It might require intense emotions to trigger their awareness.
Thinking this through, Li Meng pushed the door open and walked back in.
Approaching the pair again, Li Meng frowned.
How could he stir up their emotions?
He turned slightly and glanced at the woman.
His gaze scanned her from top to bottom.
Who knew what this woman had done before?
Her skin was fair and delicate, and her figure was excellent.
Even under her black robe, her alluring curves could still be faintly seen.
She was the type of woman who was blessed with child-bearing hips.
"Well, let's try this."
Muttering to himself, Li Meng reached out and removed the woman's hood.
As the hood fell, a beautiful face was revealed.
She had rare black hair.
No, it was actually dark brown hair, not pure black.
Although it looked black at first glance, upon closer inspection, the difference was clear.
Under the black robe, she wore a simple black dress.
The style was plain, like a patient's hospital gown.
Li Meng removed the woman's black robe.
Looking at the man, he noticed the man's fingers trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Li Meng's heart leapt with joy.
He grabbed the man's hands and placed them on the woman's chest.
But neither the man nor the woman showed any further reaction.
Time passed as Li Meng conducted various experiments in the room.
One by one, their clothes were removed.
Eventually, the pair stood bare before him.
"Still not working?"
Staring at the two naked figures, Li Meng was speechless.
The man had clearly shown a reaction earlier.
So why wasn't he reacting now?"
