Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Chapter 736: Trouble


"So, you specifically called me over just to see this?"

The two walked slowly along the stone-paved street.

Ronald's face was still somewhat mixed with various emotions.

But Xiesita was different, she was even relishing the memory of everything she had just seen.

"Otherwise?"

"Looking for something to amuse oneself during a boring journey is the best guarantee to keep the zest for life alive. Isn't it dull to just fight and kill every day?"

"..."

In that instant, although Ronald was only looking at Xiesita,

his mind raced with many thoughts.

Ever since he had crossed over, everyone related to the mysterious side seemed to have countless stories, and he found himself entangled in one affair after another, unable to extricate himself.

"Not a single one of them is easy to deal with..."

He didn't know whether he was complaining about himself or his 'friends,' Ronald couldn't help but murmur softly to himself.

Xiesita didn't hear clearly but immediately turned her head:

"What did you just say?"

Ronald answered perfunctorily:

"Nothing, just praising you for knowing how to have fun."

Xiesita immediately beamed with joy:

"You really know how to flatter someone."

"..."

One evasive, the other capricious, the two continued their way toward the southern district.

With their recent experience, Xiesita had fully achieved her goal for a 'diverse life,' and Ronald had no intention of staying any longer.

Naturally, they were ready to head back to the inn.

...

They left much more quickly than they had arrived.

Just as Ronald and Xiesita were about to leave the northern district, suddenly, a young man and woman dashed out from a side street and collided right into them.

"Ah?"

"Hey?"

Exclamations immediately rang out at the end of the alley.

On each side was one man and one woman pair; naturally, one side was Ronald and Xiesita, while the others were the young pair standing behind the middle-aged man at the earlier gathering!

"It's you... you're the traitors!"

It was very simple.

The misunderstanding so rightfully took place.

Out of his own moral principles, Ronald still spoke up to calm the situation:

"Calm down, this is just a misunderstanding."

"Damn spies, go to hell!"

—Negotiation failed.

The two youths recognized Ronald and Xiesita, who had abruptly left the meeting place, and immediately connected them with the attack they had encountered.

Without a second's hesitation,

the young man and woman charged at Ronald and his companion with fists raised, metal knuckles glinting in the light.

These two were not casters.

For Ronald now, the abilities of ordinary people felt like child's play.

Facing the young man who rushed up to him,

he simply lacked interest and pushed the other aside while stepping back himself.

"Wu—Wuwu!"

Then, the other young man collapsed weakly to the ground.

Xiesita was not like Ronald.

Seeing the youth charging at her, the girl embraced him in her arms with movements too fast for him to follow, followed by a long kiss.

This kiss seemed intimate, but in fact, it carried a magic fluctuation.

The ordinary young man had no time to register his fate before his consciousness left his body along with the kiss.

"Xiesita..."

Ronald furrowed his brows.

Although the attack originated from a misunderstanding on the others' part, this heretic magician didn't hold back.

Just like that,

the young man not only lost consciousness, but his life force was also greatly diminished.

If he couldn't receive healing from the mystical side, the rest of his life would inevitably weaken and be constantly plagued by illness.

"Ryan!"

At this time, the girl on Ronald's side also noticed the situation behind her.

Watching her companion fall in such a manner, the young girl's brain simply couldn't process the information.

What was happening?

A kiss had brought him to the ground?

Had the other person spat poison on their lips, or hidden an extremely covert weapon in their hand?

The girl's contemplation was quickly forced to a halt.

For in the blink of an eye, Chesta had ruthlessly cast aside the girl in her hands and directly approached the girl before her, her movements tender as she also took her into her embrace.

"Sweetheart, don't rush."

The girl struggled with all her might, yet Chesta's hands were like iron shackles, impossible for her to break free from.

Soon after, Chesta bit the girl's earlobe.

With a muffled and moist voice, she said,

"You're next..."

"Chesta!"

Ronald could no longer stand by and watch.

He waved one hand, and the Power of Domination sent Chesta's body crashing to the ground, creating an indentation in the stone pathway.

"If you really can't stand it, then be more direct."

"Don't treat these ordinary people with such mockery!"

"..."

Ronald's action was a simple lesson and a reminder for Chesta.

However, for the girl who witnessed the scene, her brain had completely crashed.

If she could still find a reason for Chesta's actions and rationalize them before, this supernatural scene was indefensible.

Why had the woman holding her flown away?

What kind of immense power could cause such an indentation in the ground? Was it explosives?

And... this was...

The dazed girl witnessed yet another bizarre scene.

Chesta, who should have died by normal standards, was now groaning and rising from the ground.

Although she seemed to not feel well,

Was this really something a normal person could do?

Shouldn't a human being hit like that die on the spot?

"..."

On the other side, the recently risen Chesta seemed to have her own realizations.

She glanced at the angry Ronald and then at the girl with the dazed but cute expression, suddenly having an epiphany.

"Ah, I get it!"

"Ronald, have you fallen for her, planning to make her your lover?"

Ronald was just about to retort, but Chesta's realization came even faster, and she practically interrupted to draw her conclusion:

"Actually, I could be your lover if that's what you want."

"I'm beautifully shaped, pretty to look at, easy to talk to, and I'm sure that my dear old father would have no objections. Why would you be interested in these ordinary people?"

"Let me tell you..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Ronald interrupted Chesta's endless chatter:

"I only objected to your attitude just now, stop spewing nonsense!"

"..."

Chesta's self-promotion froze on her face.

Then, as if she realized something, her cheeks flushed with a cute and shy red.

"I understand, I get it all."

"Ronald, give me a day, I'll see you at the train station!"

As her words fell, Chesta scooped up the dazed girl standing aside, and her figure quickly vanished into the city district.

Ronald then locked Chesta's state with a spell.

After confirming that this person had no particularly dangerous actions, Ronald couldn't be bothered going after her to inquire further.

He shook his head with a sigh and made his way back to the inn.

As for the troubles of this heretic Magician...

Let whoever cares deal with it!
