Chapter 302 The Forced Kiss
William had once asked various Soulmancers whether they ever found the relentless pursuit of increased strength monotonous.
Their answers were almost identical.
In summary, the process of becoming stronger was addictive.
The repeated breaking of their own limits seemed to be the cosmic truth they sought.
Beyond the peak of mid-level Soulmancer, the challenge to break through to the senior level was unimaginably tough, often taking centuries, sometimes even requiring the aid of mysterious relics passed down through generations. Even after reaching the senior Soulmancer level, it only extended life by three hundred years. Failing to surpass the limit of a senior Soulmancer within those years rendered all previous efforts in vain.
Most Soulmancers above the mid-level are scattered around the world, searching for lost mystical artifacts. Unless they possess special methods to enhance their powers or due to very unique reasons, these individuals rarely enter the world of ordinary people.
Inside the SPACEPLUS bar, the lighting flickered, and rhythmic, passionate music filled the air. Everywhere, people danced, the youth enjoying their prime to the fullest.
Alice, having focused on studying medicine for many years, rarely had the chance to experience such nightlife. Being with William today, she wanted to try something new.
As they entered the bar, the manager immediately came forward to greet them. Alice casually asked him to find them a spot.
The manager quickly realized that Alice was no ordinary patron and arranged a luxurious VIP booth for them.
Alice casually ordered some food and drinks before settling down. She seemed unconcerned about the cost. No sooner had they sat down than the waiter brought over their drinks. Then, a scantily clad, muscular male dancer began performing a pole dance right in front of their table.
Alice watched the male dancer in surprise. She had always thought such places featured only female pole dancers and was astonished to see a male performance.
This was indeed a fresh and thrilling experience for her!
For William, this was his first time in such a place. Compared to quieter bars, like the Moonlit Harbor Pub, this one was obviously more lively and thrilling.
In the bar, besides the male dancer, many young women approached William to chat, their eyes brimming with a flirtatious charm. One girl even ignored Alice's presence, boldly sitting next to William and loudly asking, "Hey handsome, is that your girlfriend?"
Having worked in bars before, William was quite adept at handling these situations. He responded just as loudly, "No, she's not my girlfriend!"
This reply clearly emboldened the girl further. She draped her arm around William's neck, holding her drink, and laughed, "Such a handsome guy like you, don't tell me you don't have a girlfriend?"
"Actually, I don't," William replied, reciprocating by wrapping his arm around her waist and clinking glasses.
"Well, now you do!" The girl, who appeared to be no more than twenty, was remarkably bold and began to clink glasses with William.
At this point, Alice was genuinely flabbergasted. It was she who had brought William here to experience the nightlife, yet in the blink of an eye, girls were intimately drinking with William.
These girls probably thought William was picking up the tab and even treated Alice like an ordinary customer.
They had been seated for less than ten minutes, and already six beautiful girls, not including Alice, had gathered around William.
As a veteran of the nightlife scene, William seemed to be enjoying himself, while Alice could only drink sullenly on her own, puzzled by the whole situation.
The forwardness of these girls indeed exceeded Alice's expectations!
Just as one of the girls was about to ask for William's contact information and William was preparing to pull out his phone, Alice felt the effects of the alcohol kicking in, her emotions becoming uncontrollable. Unable to hold back, she stood up, pointed at the girl, and shouted loudly, "Get away from here!"
As an intermediate-level Soulmancer, Alice's emotional outburst caused a palpable sense of oppression within a few meters around her. The girls who had been playfully interacting with William were suddenly taken aback.
Although these girls were attractive in their own right, they seemed somewhat uneasy under the influence of Alice's aura.
"Who are you, anyway?" Despite this, one of the girls bravely tried to argue with Alice.
"I'm his girlfriend! All of you, get away!" Alice's face was extremely grim, her aura growing stronger and almost reaching a breaking point.
This atmosphere instilled an unusual fear in the ordinary people around. The girls who had been surrounding William awkwardly left under this oppressive feeling.
The bar manager quickly noticed the commotion and hurried over to apologize and soothe the situation.
"Hmph!" Alice snorted softly, staring at William beside her. Her cheeks were flushed as she staggered towards him, then suddenly lunged forward, supporting herself on the back of the sofa and giggling, "Master, you're really enjoying yourself, huh?"
William's head was caught between Alice's hands, and he found himself somewhat immobilized, only managing to say, "Just going along with the mood, you were the one who wanted to come here to play."
"I don't care!" Alice sat down on William's lap, her face still flushed, and said, "You were so intimate drinking with someone else just now, I want that too!"
"Drinking is just drinking, you can drink however you want, but could you please get off me first." William was keeping up with the times,in this era, intimate drinking in a bar, or even sleeping together, didn't necessarily in a marital relationship.
Especially in nightclubs, where people just used the influence of alcohol to release their pent-up hormones.
However, drinking intimately with his own disciple like this was something he felt he couldn't do.
Now, with Alice sitting on his lap in this ambiguous position, his heart was racing. He thought it best to get her off him quickly.
"Okay!" Alice nodded, saying 'okay,' but then suddenly leaned her head and, taking advantage of the moment, forcefully kissed William.
William's eyes widened in shock. With his abilities, he could have easily dodged it, but just then, he hesitated.
He actually hesitated!
And in that brief moment of hesitation, Alice successfully managed the forceful kiss.
