Chapter 2705: Chapter 2705: Femme Fatale
Wyatt Barnes’s mouth twitched hard when Leilany mentioned those eight men.
With Leilany’s unique beauty that seems favored by the Creator, any normal, vigorous man would certainly have some reaction.
And among these men, the majority would rise to possess her.
Having lived through two lifetimes and witnessed many things, Wyatt’s heart was like still water, allowing him not to lose composure like ordinary men before Leilany.
"It’s lucky I didn’t lose composure in front of Leilany... Otherwise, she might have killed me just like those eight men!"
Thinking of this, Wyatt looked again at the nine nameless gravestones in the ruins beneath his feet, "And if that were the case, I would be stuck here forever... Perhaps there would be a gravestone for me too, a nameless one."
At this moment, Wyatt couldn’t help but feel a bit grateful in his heart.
"Right!"
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Wyatt’s pupils contracted instantly and he murmured, "Almost forgot... Before I practiced this time, I was trapped in an ’illusion realm’ and couldn’t find the ’core’ of the illusion realm to break it, so I couldn’t get out."
"Later, I could only stay here to practice, hoping that after my cultivation increased further, I could break the illusion realm and get out."
Just now, because of Leilany’s appearance, Wyatt completely forgot about his ’experience’ before practicing.
Now, coming back to his senses, he finally remembered his previous ’experience’.
"Is here... also an illusion realm?"
"Including this woman named ’Leilany’... Could she too be an illusion conjured by this place?"
With that thought, Wyatt reached out his hand, trying to touch the perfect woman named ’Leilany’ before him to see if she was a phantom or a real person.
As his hand touched Leilany’s body, feeling soft to the touch, giving Wyatt a sense of being electrocuted, he realized he hadn’t chosen the right place.
"I... I’m sorry..."
Quickly retracting both hands, Wyatt felt very embarrassed, and his heart couldn’t help but hang in suspense.
This exceptional beauty wouldn’t kill him for his inappropriate behavior, right?
Although he didn’t know the cultivation level of this exceptional beauty named ’Leilany’, Wyatt felt her strength shouldn’t be weaker than his... From her ability to appear in the illusion realm that confused him, he could see she was extraordinary.
"She just said... she’s been here all along? It seems this illusion realm should be left by her mother."
Wyatt speculated to himself.
"Hmm?"
Leilany, who had been staring at Wyatt, released her hands, which had touched him briefly, as if electrocuting.
"It’s like stone..."
Frowning slightly, Leilany withdrew her hands from Wyatt’s chest, moved them in the same spot on her own body twice, "Soft, indeed... Is this what mother said the difference between women and men is?"
"Men... seem not fun at all."
Murmuring towards the end, Leilany reached out her hands again like a playful child and patted Wyatt’s firm chest twice.
"Leilany."
Wyatt swallowed hard, then somewhat awkwardly reached out to grab Leilany’s hands and moved them away from his chest.
If it weren’t for the pure, innocent look in Leilany’s eyes, unfamiliar with worldly affairs, he would’ve thought this exceptional beauty was teasing him deliberately to make him lose composure.
"Leilany, you just said... you can leave here?"
Taking a deep breath, Wyatt calmed his inner warmth and changed the topic.
"Yes."
Leilany nodded, then asked again, "Wyatt Barnes... are you going to take Leilany out of here?"
As she asked, Leilany’s eyes lit up again, full of anticipation and excitement, like a playful child stuck at home, finally getting the chance to go out and play.
"I seem unable to leave here... how can I take you away?"
Wyatt smiled wryly.
"Why can’t you leave here?"
Leilany asked puzzled.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Leilany’s question, Wyatt instinctively extended his Divine Sense but found the ruins beneath his feet to be real, not a scene from the illusion realm.
"What... what’s going on?"
Wyatt looked amazed and murmured, "Here... shouldn’t be an illusion realm?"
"You mean the illusion realm... When I appeared before you, I already removed it."
Hearing Wyatt’s murmurs, Leilany waved a hand in front of him.
In her hand appeared a white bead.
The bead wasn’t very large, able to fit entirely in her hand, but the white halo flowing inside resembled an Abyss. Wyatt felt as if he were about to be swallowed by it upon looking at it.
"You removed it?"
Wyatt was shocked.
He didn’t know that illusion realm, which he had no way of dealing with, had been removed.
And now, Leilany was nonchalantly saying that she had removed it?
This left Wyatt Barnes speechless.
"Yes."
Leilany nodded with an innocent expression, "The illusion you spoke of was conjured from this ’Illusion Pearl’ my mother left me... I could only appear before you by withdrawing the illusion, allowing you to see me."
"I see."
Wyatt Barnes realized, then asked, "Leilany, what is your cultivation level?"
"Cultivation level?"
Hearing Wyatt’s question, Leilany slightly furrowed her brows, yet even the act of frowning made her look stunningly beautiful, "I don’t know my cultivation level either... However, I feel like among the nine people I killed, about half were stronger than you."
"Half stronger than me?"
Hearing Leilany’s words, Wyatt was noncommittal.
You should know that his strength did not necessarily correspond to his cultivation level.
Although he was now just a ’Cyan Sun Golden Immortal,’ his true strength was enough to rival a Daai Law Golden Immortal.
Once he expended his full power, even utilizing the Heavenly Artifact ’Seven Apertures Exquisite Sword,’ he was capable of matching territory Daai Law Golden Immortals, even common heavenly Daai Law Golden Immortals!
Wyatt Barnes was unaware:
Leilany meant stronger compared to when he used the Heavenly Artifact ’Seven Apertures Exquisite Sword’ in an attempt to forcibly break the illusion, unable to do so at that time.
At that moment, he exhibited strength capable of matching territory Daai Law Golden Immortals, even average heavenly Daai Law Golden Immortals.
"Wyatt Barnes, where are we going now?"
When Leilany’s beautiful autumn-like eyes gazed at Wyatt, they were filled with intense curiosity, followed by deep anticipation.
"I don’t know where we are either... let’s just take it one step at a time."
Coming back to his senses, Wyatt Barnes glanced around and decided to randomly head in one direction.
Just like that, after inexplicably escaping the headache-inducing illusion, Wyatt found a ’tail’ following him.
"Leilany... besides your mother, do you have any other relatives?"
As he walked aimlessly, Wyatt asked Leilany.
Having such an unparalleled beauty by one’s side should be the dream of any man, but Wyatt Barnes merely felt like she was a ’hot potato,’ wondering if he could somehow get rid of her.
Of course, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t just abandon her.
Though they hadn’t been together long, Wyatt Barnes was able to observe:
This Leilany was like a woman who had never experienced the world, akin to just leaving a deep boudoir, possessing a perfect, unmatched appearance yet having never been shown to anyone...
To be precise, she had never been revealed to any living person other than her mother and Wyatt.
Nine people had once mistakenly entered the illusion and seen her, but because the way they looked at her disgusted her, she had taken them out.
"From her words... it seems her mother left her waiting for someone."
"As for telling her to follow someone she isn’t repulsed by... it’s just for her protection, to prevent her from going with a stranger..."
Wyatt Barnes felt that he had accidentally abducted this girl named ’Leilany.’
In fact, Leilany’s mother intended for her to wait for someone else, but because Wyatt was different from other men, she mistakenly thought he was the one she was supposed to wait for.
"No."
When Wyatt asked her if she had any other relatives, Leilany shook her head.
Wyatt nodded, sighing to himself.
He realized that, at least for the time being, he couldn’t escape from this flawless woman.
"Hmm?"
After traveling together with Leilany for a while, Wyatt Barnes finally spotted five living people.
Three young men and two old men.
"Leilany... maybe you should wear a veil?"
Wyatt glanced at the ’dangerously alluring’ Leilany beside him and suggested.
"Why?"
Hearing Wyatt’s words, Leilany looked puzzled.
"What a beautiful woman!"
As an astonished voice reached his ears, Wyatt knew his warning came too late.
The five people approaching, those two old men were fine.
But the three young men in front, all dressed in fine clothes, and judging by their mannerisms, it was evident that they were likely the spoilt sons of wealthy families.
Now, as one of the young men noticed Leilany, he couldn’t help but exclaim.
After the exclamation, he gazed at Leilany with undisguised rudeness, as if wishing to claim this peerless beauty for himself...
"Who is she? Even the Capital City’s most beautiful woman would pale in comparison to her!"
