Novel: AFK Game: Portal to Another World
Chapter 205
As the calendar turned to the end of September, the hellishly hot weather finally began to cool down.
Even though the sun was still scorching, it was a dry heat, not a humid one.
Li Chengxi opened his computer as usual and first checked on Yang Yiyi's situation.
The three of them were already in a carriage arranged by the Heavenly Water City Garrison Commander, swaying along the official road.
The commander knew that both Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping were daughters of high-ranking officials and did not dare to be negligent.
He had already sent a messenger ahead with an urgent letter to notify their families to prepare for their arrival.
Since they had already entered the territory of Liu Prefecture and were sticking to the main roads, occasionally escorted by soldiers traveling the same way, the journey was much safer and more relaxed than the stretch through Yue and Qi Prefectures.
However, Yang Yiyi seemed as if her tendons had been pulled out, appearing particularly sluggish.
This was probably because riding in the carriage gave her no opportunity to get out and stretch her legs.
Li Chengxi took the opportunity to teach her the Green Mountain Heart Method.
As for the lightness skill, sword technique, and fist technique, they all prompted 'conditions not met'.
Now, Yang Yiyi spent her days either sitting cross-legged in cultivation practice or looking at the scenery from the carriage.
It was no wonder she felt bored.
It was said that the carriage ride to Tranquil Dominion City, the capital of the Liu Prefecture Kingdom, would take more than ten days.
This period正好 gave Li Chengxi time to handle other matters without having to keep a constant watch.
He turned his head to the other computer.
Viola, who had previously gone to rescue Count Fran, had long since led her army back to Leon Stronghold.
The infantry, lacking high mobility, had not been able to return with Viola right away.
They had now completed their task of escorting Count Fran back to Half-Moon Fortress and had returned through the gap deliberately left in the Canyon Path.
They were currently approaching Leon Fortress.
The greatest benefit of establishing contact with Half-Moon Fortress was gaining a forward base on the other side of the Spine of the World Mountains.
When Viola was ready, she could use Half-Moon Fortress as a springboard to launch a counterattack against the invaders.
Another benefit was that scouts could now advance to the southern side of the Spine of the World Mountains, further expanding the range Li Chengxi could observe.
Before this, the scouts dared not venture here rashly.
After all, the area was teeming with enemy troops, and being discovered would likely mean a one-way trip.
Now, even if they encountered enemy troops, they could retreat to Half-Moon Fortress, which effectively expanded their scouting range.
At the same time, as long as the map was unveiled, Li Chengxi could instantly detect enemy military movements and even directly intervene to eliminate threats to Viola and the Leon Territory.
He had been watching Yang Yiyi for this period, but he had to admit that his identity as the Demon God was more satisfying, mainly because the scope of what he could directly influence was much larger.
Moving the mouse back to the Chapel, Viola was leading people in prayer, as was her custom.
The Holy Emblem in the Chapel had been replaced with a life-sized statue of Li Chengxi himself, with the Holy Emblem carved at the statue's feet.
Although Viola and the others thought highly of it, and a massive eight-meter-tall statue was under construction in the plaza, how should he put it...
Li Chengxi felt a little embarrassed.
There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the content of the prayers; checking on Viola's prayer was merely a routine task.
Immediately after, Li Chengxi took out an HDMI cable and connected the computer to the surveillance monitor.
He then scrolled the mouse wheel to zoom in on the picture and reached a hand inside to pull.
He could feel that he had grabbed a pair of arms, but they were light as a feather, without any weight.
With a slight exertion of force, a head of beautiful blue hair emerged from the screen first, followed by Audel's enchanting silver-blue eyes meeting Li Chengxi's gaze.
She had probably used a Levitation Spell again, which was why she was so weightless.
Compared to the first time, Li Chengxi was now quite experienced.
He held Audel's hands and gently placed her on the floor.
He was about to say hello, but Audel suddenly struck a Kamen Rider transformation pose.
"I'm back, ehehe."
"..."
There were too many things to comment on; for a moment, he didn't know where to begin.
At almost the same time, Li Chengxi's phone rang with a jingle.
A look at the caller ID showed that it was, as expected, Qian Sen.
"Hello? Mr. Li, we received a spatial shift signal. Has Miss Audel arrived?"
"Yes, she just got here. Do you want to come over?"
"Yes, I'll head over now to check the situation."
As he said this, the sound of thumping footsteps came from upstairs in Li Chengxi's house.
Lei Lei, dressed in pajamas and slippers, flipped down the stairs and landed in a Two-Character Goat-Clamping Stance, ready to fight.
Then she saw Audel standing next to Li Chengxi and instantly lost interest, like a deflated balloon.
Li Chengxi was not at all surprised to see her come down from upstairs; after all, it wasn't the first time.
He even gave Lei Lei a friendly wave and said:
"I made sure to open the window in advance. You didn't break it for me this time, did you?"
"."
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Viola had been notified several days in advance about Audel's trip to the Divine Realm, down to the specific day and time.
So, when Audel disappeared from the Chapel, the Royal Guards who were praying with her were not surprised, nor did they turn the entire castle upside down searching for the missing Audel as they did the first time.
They merely lamented among themselves, why was Audel so favored by the Demon God? Could it be that Lord Demon God liked her type?
After the prayer, Viola announced that everyone should go about their business, and she returned to her office.
The moment the great door closed, Viola felt her composure crack a little again.
"Why is it Audel again? Am I not good enough?"
She slumped over her chair and rocked back and forth.
It was a good thing the chair was large and sturdy, otherwise she would have been thrown right onto the floor.
"Is it because of the neck? Is it the legs? I'm quite confident in mine too, you know."
During the few days Viola had stayed at Li Chengxi's place, she noticed that he would occasionally stare at her legs and neck, especially right after she had taken a bath.
This had made Viola feel quite proud.
But soon, she immediately thought that if the Lord had a preference for necks and legs, then that meant Audel also met this standard.
The parts Viola was most proud of were her chest and buttocks, which, as it turned out, didn't seem to be an advantage.
Viola certainly knew that Audel was not going there to play, but that there were matters over there that required Audel's magical knowledge for assistance, and she was told that it would make it more convenient to transport supplies from the Divine Realm to Viola later.
For Viola, who was currently preparing for a counterattack, this was definitely good news.
But, and there was still a but!
Viola was extremely uneasy about letting Audel go to the Divine Realm by herself.
The main reason was Audel's damned thirst for research.
Li Chengxi was no saint who could remain unmoved by beauty.
It was highly possible that Audel might manage to produce a Divine Child first.
All said and done, the truth was that Viola was simply jealous, but she was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to come along too.
And so, she wrestled with her feelings alone in her office.
At this moment, outside the office, Shelly, who had led the infantry back, returned to report to Viola.
She happened to see Zola standing at the office door.
"Is Her Highness in?"
"Of course, she is. It's just not a convenient time right now."
Zola pointed at the large office door.
Shelly leaned in to listen and heard the sound of scratching walls and clawing at the floor coming from inside.
This noise was a bit familiar.
It seemed like a similar situation had occurred before...
