Chapter 263: Must Die Once
Li Meng looked at the woman with a contemplative expression.
"Could it be…"
Li Meng took a step forward, wrapping his right arm around the woman's waist.
Then he pulled her into his embrace.
The dazed woman immediately leaned against Li Meng's chest.
This action indeed elicited a reaction from the man.
His eyes moved slightly.
More of his fingers began to twitch.
Seeing this, Li Meng grinned.
That guy Fraude truly had a twisted sense of humor, worthy of being the King of Lust.
Now that he knew the direction, the next steps became much simpler.
In the room, Li Meng tormented the dazed woman in a man's way.
Not long after, the room was filled with noise.
The semi-wooden house creaked with rhythmic sounds.
The activity in the room continued for a long time.
From day to night, from night to day.
The next morning.
The commotion on the second floor of the abandoned house was still ongoing.
The creaking sound echoed on the first floor.
In one of the rooms on the second floor.
The man standing by the window was trembling all over.
Looking at the scene on the bed, his face contorted in anguish.
Cold sweat dripped from his cheeks.
His black robe and inner garments were soaked through.
His entire body shivered slightly.
"Ah!"
He suddenly opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar.
The dazed expression on his face returned to clarity.
"I'll kill you!"
The man shouted in rage.
He lunged towards the man wrapped in bandages on top of the woman, punching towards his back.
Before the punch landed, the force of the wind arrived first.
Just as the fist was about to strike the bandaged man, he suddenly dodged.
The punch missed, and the man fell onto the woman on the bed.
As he tried to get up, his shoulders were pressed down.
"My task is complete. The next task is yours. If you can't wake her up, I'll have no choice but to eat you both."
With that, Li Meng grinned.
A deep, cavernous mouth appeared on his smooth, silver head.
Patting the stunned man's face, Li Meng leisurely climbed off the bed.
In his mind, Li Meng regretted it deeply.
Regretted killing that knight captain named Tyrone.
He should have eaten him instead.
If he had, his stats would have increased significantly.
After all, that guy had the strength of a Sword Saint.
The man on the bed stared blankly at the departing figure of the bandaged man.
He understood what had happened.
And he knew the bandaged man possessed power far beyond his own.
It was only after Li Meng left the room and considerately closed the door behind him that the man withdrew his gaze.
Looking down at his wife beneath him, his eyes grew tender.
If his wife woke up, could she truly survive?
A hint of sorrow flashed in the man's eyes.
After being tortured by Fraude for so many years.
Even he had felt the urge to end it all.
"Auriana, let's give each other one more chance."
No matter what, he had to give his wife a choice.
Enzos lowered his head slightly and kissed his wife's lips.
Outside the room, Li Meng leaned against the wall.
"Can he do it?"
Listening to the sounds from the room, Li Meng muttered to himself.
The woman's consciousness was awake.
She was merely trapped in her body.
During their time together, her body did react.
They were so close to the final step, yet she couldn't wake up.
Li Meng guessed that the man was the key to the woman waking up.
Time passed little by little, and in less than half an hour, the room fell silent.
On the bed in the room, the man and woman sat facing each other.
"Auriana, I… I'm sorry. I'm useless!"
Enzos looked apologetically at his wife in front of him.
His wife's emotionless expression made Enzos feel worried.
It was his fault. If he had been stronger, his wife wouldn't have become a follower of the heretical cult of love.
She wouldn't have been tortured alongside him for eleven years.
Enzos didn't even know how he had endured such a long time.
Auriana raised her head and looked at her husband.
Her lips parted slightly, and a gentle, elegant voice filled the room.
"Enzos, do you want to live?"
Facing his wife's calm gaze, Enzos nodded.
He reached out and grasped his wife's hands, placing them on his chest.
"I don't want to give up like this. I want to live with you, my love."
Auriana smiled, and clear tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Yes, let's live together!"
Sunlight streamed through the window, painting a beautiful scene.
Listening to the sounds from the room, Li Meng grinned.
Li Meng clapped his hands and walked towards another room.
Entering the room, Li Meng stopped in front of a group of men and women.
Looking at them, Li Meng spread his arms.
"All right, let's not waste any time. Together now, wahaha!"
For a moment, Li Meng's wild laughter echoed in the room.
Before long, the room was filled with noise.
The creaking sounds grew louder throughout the house.
The activity continued for a long time.
It wasn't until the third night that the room finally fell silent.
That night, as the night deepened.
Silver moonlight poured in through the window, gently dispelling the darkness in the room.
A tall, black-robed figure sat by the bed.
The figure was Li Meng.
In front of him, six people knelt on the ground, three men and three women.
Their faces were filled with fear, and cold sweat dripped from them.
The monster before them had devoured six others.
That smooth, shiny head had suddenly enlarged, biting one person in half in a single gulp.
Then he swallowed them whole.
That sight had terrified the remaining six.
They couldn't even imagine what kind of monster hid beneath those bandages.
"To sever your connection with Fraude, you must die once!"
Die once?
The six raised their heads, confusion in their eyes.
Li Meng stood and crouched before Auriana.
Reaching out, he gently pinched her pale chin.
"So beautiful!"
Auriana's face froze.
But the next moment, a sharp pain pierced her chest.
The master's other hand had pierced through her chest without warning.
"My love!"
Enzos cried out in shock.
His face contorted with rage, but then pain shot through his chest.
The master had already appeared before him.
That hand, like a blade, had pierced through his body.
Beside them, Auriana had already fallen to the ground.
The other four turned pale, rushing towards the window.
In the room, there were sounds of struggle.
The window, which had been closed, slowly opened again.
Moonlight spilled into the room, casting a silver glow.
Li Meng sat by the bed once more.
In front of him, six people lay scattered on the floor.
Though blood pooled beneath them, their wounds had disappeared.
They weren't dead—their hearts were still beating.
