442: Desperate Xinglili

Chapter 441: Desperate Apricot Lilli

Facing Dick's provocative words, Apricot Lilli did not respond. She could feel that the magic pistol... its weight was wrong.

It was clear that Dick had already removed all the bullets inside.

Thinking that the magic pistol had been placed under the pillow, Apricot Lilli broke out in a cold sweat, as this meant Dick had been in close contact with her.

Soon, Apricot Lilli noticed many abnormalities.

The 7N4 magic matrix embedded within her left hand bone had lost its connection...

The Charlemagne amplification bone chain on her ankle was gone...

The aggregated exoskeleton fixed to her lower back was completely destroyed...

In just a few seconds, Apricot Lilli was astonished to find that all the magic technology on her entire body had been disconnected, and even the device embedded in her brain was gone!

She was now completely a frail young girl with no combat ability.

Clang...

Looking up, Apricot Lilli saw Dick spread his hands, and a pile of intricate magic parts fell to the ground. These were all taken from her body.

As she watched, Apricot Lilli's pretty face suddenly flushed, because Dick had even removed the equipment from a certain place... and a certain place!

To put it bluntly, Dick had thoroughly searched her from head to toe, inside and out.

And for such an outrageous situation to have occurred without Apricot Lilli noticing was simply unbelievable.

"X62! X75! R56! T95..."

Apricot Lilli tried shouting, but what answered her was not the mechanical female voice of a puppet, but Dick's sarcastic words.

"No need to call," Dick placed his hand on the shoulder of a magic puppet and chuckled softly, shaking his head. "The magic pulse you developed is really effective; it easily destroyed the cores of all the puppets."

"Magic pulse... You actually know it exists?!"

Apricot Lilli was startled and uncertain. The magic pulse was a secret weapon she had developed, capable of temporarily disabling magic devices within a certain range.

This was one of her life-saving trump cards; Apricot Lilli had not told anyone!

Besides, how did Dick find it? The magic pulse was hidden in a spatial rift!

"Xing Lili Anzier, you should probably understand your current situation by now..."

Dick slowly walked to the bedside, roughly pulled back the covers, and Apricot Lilli let out a timid gasp, her body trembling slightly.

A thin nightgown wrapped her slender body, her fair skin incredibly delicate, making her look like a sheltered young lady from a wealthy family.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Apricot Lilli kept backing away while sitting, inching back until she quickly hit the wall, while Dick continued to approach, a Demon-like smile on his face.

When the distance between them was less than half a meter, Apricot Lilli suddenly showed a fierce look and quickly reached her right hand towards the sheathless sword at Dick's waist.

However, awkwardly, the sheathless sword was no ordinary weapon; it was a sword with extremely high sentience.

"Ah~!"

A sword qi emerged, and before Apricot Lilli could touch the sheathless sword, her hand was repelled.

Dick snorted coldly, directly grabbed Apricot Lilli's slender neck, and lifted her high with a slight force.

Despite this, Apricot Lilli was still restless, her hands and feet twisting incessantly, attempting to use joint locks to defeat Dick.

But unfortunately, Apricot Lilli was not controlling a magic puppet now, but her own frail and weak body.

No matter how standard her movements were, she couldn't do anything to Dick.

Certain subtle martial arts can indeed achieve the effect of 'four ounces deflecting a thousand pounds'!

But the premise is, you must have at least four ounces of strength, and the opponent's strength must also be controlled at around a thousand pounds.

For Apricot Lilli to want to defeat Dick through close-quarters combat was equivalent to 'four grams deflecting ten thousand pounds', like a fool's daydream.

However, Apricot Lilli moving around like this was indeed a bit troublesome, so Dick casually waved his hand...

Rip!

Apricot Lilli's nightgown was instantly torn to shreds. Since she didn't have the habit of wearing undergarments and panties, she was now completely naked.

"Ahhh~!"

The girl's shamed and indignant scream instantly rang out. Apricot Lilli quickly squeezed her legs together and desperately used her hands to cover herself.

Seeing this, Dick nodded with satisfaction. Compared to casting control magic, this method was more efficient in making Apricot Lilli behave.

"If you want to kill... just do it... directly, don't do these perverse... humiliations!"

Dick controlled his strength very skillfully, leaving Apricot Lilli a sliver of space to breathe on the edge of suffocation's pain, allowing her to barely speak.

"Kill you? Heh heh, I wouldn't part with you," Dick sneered coldly and said indifferently, "A corpse has no meaning."

Upon hearing this, Apricot Lilli's face turned even redder. She thought Dick liked her when she was warm and could cry out...

Clearly, Dick wanted to play enough before killing her. How vicious!

Dick saw the darkness in Apricot Lilli's eyes and said slowly, "As long as you cooperate with me obediently, your life can continue, and your ideals and beliefs can also persist."

Hearing this, Apricot Lilli slowly raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears, but her tense body relaxed considerably.

Thinking calmly, what Dick said was not without reason. Only by being alive could she pursue her ideals; everything would end upon death.

"Okay, I will cooperate with you..."

Two lines of hot tears streamed down Apricot Lilli's face. She had finally yielded, choosing to abandon some important things in order to survive.

Dick nodded slightly, released his hand, and Apricot Lilli fell onto the bed.

"Don't worry, you will never regret today's choice. Knowing the times is the choice of a wise person."

After saying this, Dick began preparing the soul contract. He wanted to turn Apricot Lilli into the fourth Witch he controlled.

With the job-exclusive Blessing [Soulmate], Dick could gain an extra opportunity to forge a soul contract every ten levels.

And not long ago, Dick had just leveled up to 35. Originally, he wanted to supplement Mina's soul contract, but plans couldn't keep up with changes, and the Apricot Lilli in front of him was clearly a higher priority.

Mina could wait a bit longer. Anyway, she had always been obedient, even more so than other Witches who had forged soul contracts.

As for the most important Isurna, Dick was not in a hurry.

Because her soul was very special, it required a considerably powerful soul to forge a contract with it.

Although Dick's current soul strength was far stronger than ordinary people, it still didn't meet the standard. Even if Isurna was willing, it would be useless.

Dick estimated that he would need at least one more soul-related opportunity and another significant increase in soul power.

"You don't look like someone who keeps promises..."

Hearing Apricot Lilli's faint questioning voice, Dick casually glanced at her and said lightly, "Do you have any other choice now?"

"......"

Tears, much to her chagrin, streamed down. Apricot Lilli bit her lip, remaining silent.

After a while, she released the hands that were protecting her body, lay down as if resigned to her fate, and waited, trembling.

"I, I actually don't have much experience..."

"This kind of thing only happens once in a lifetime, so of course you couldn't have experience."

"You... you don't understand me. Maybe I'm an experienced person?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Apricot Lilli."

Dick was a bit speechless. "Everyone can only forge a soul contract once in their lifetime. It's impossible to be 'experienced'. This is basic magic common sense."

Of course, there were exceptions, like rebirths across a hundred lifetimes such as himself. Their experience was naturally incredibly rich, especially in this life.

However, Apricot Lilli looked surprised, blinked her eyes, and said, "Are we... forging a soul contract later?"

"What else did you think?"

"......"

Apricot Lilli was stunned for a moment, then quickly let out a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that Dick wasn't after her body.

As if sensing what Apricot Lilli was thinking, Dick curled his lip and said, "I'm not interested in poor and skinny children."

"?!"

Apricot Lilli clenched her fists, glared at Dick in shame and indignation, and slightly opened her mouth, attempting to protest.

But due to her situation, she ultimately said nothing, merely pulling the quilt over her body.

Perhaps because she didn't like to eat, Apricot Lilli's body was somewhat malnourished, and a certain flat area was on par with Xiao Nai's.

However, Dick knew that even if Apricot Lilli ate well and drank well, she would at most only be 'slightly undulating'.

Furthermore, being less than 1.5 meters tall, Apricot Lilli looked exactly like a silver-haired elementary school student, even though she was already 18 years old.
