"A perfect match for my Blood Mystique Secret Technique!"
Li Ke was genuinely happy because this thing was clearly a powerful tool to aid his training under normal circumstances—that is, without using those overpowered items and without the tenfold recovery power!
Blood Qi training consumes a lot of the body's energy; Blood Qi, to put it bluntly, is the plundering of the body's energy. He wasn't afraid now, with his tenfold recovery power and physique.
However, it wouldn't work outside.
He didn't think he could compare to the people of Arad in terms of physique.
Although he was somewhat special, his physical attributes were clearly inferior to those of the Arad people, let alone those with the Ghost Hand.
So this Life Return technique came at the perfect time!
He hadn't watched much One Piece, but simply from the descriptions, he knew this thing could definitely help him digest his food quickly! And repair his body without relying on those overpowered items.
This was indeed very important to him, because using these overpowered items on minor injuries was unwise. These were genuine life-saving items; they were useful when there were no other effective treatments, but in the future, it was best to avoid using them if possible.
Otherwise, if he needed them and they were gone when he needed them, dying would be too ridiculous.
Moreover, with these, he could enhance his body with blood energy much faster!
However, he would only understand more after learning.
After checking his surroundings again and confirming that there were no more forgotten packages, Li Ke climbed the stairs he had built and returned to the steel hut.
The conditions below were clearly unsuitable for training, so he would train near the merchant's house.
Although the area wasn't large, he could run a few laps.
However, just as he finally climbed to the top, he saw everyone looking at him with serious expressions; they had clearly been waiting for him for a long time.
Not only Rin and her group, but also the newcomers Hana Song and Hermione, were watching him from near the merchant's house, their faces flashing with suspicion.
However, the first to speak was none other than Robin.
The tanned, mature woman put down her book and stretched as she looked at Li Ke.
"Mr. Li Ke, you should be able to send me back now. The newcomers all know what's going on, so I can leave now, right?"
She glanced at Hermione as she said this before continuing.
"But, Mr. Li Ke, do you really have no other way to repatriate me?"
Personally, she didn't care about her virginity. Being able to exchange it for a chance to escape was nothing to her. What seafarer would care about such trivial matters?
The reason she used a clone to deal with Li Ke was simply because she didn't want to be pregnant with the child of a man she had only known for a short time, plus a slight hope.
Although, in terms of the outcome, she might as well have used her mouth.
"Actually, this is the only method I've found. I was worried about what I'd do if there were men around."
Li Ke shrugged, indicating his helplessness.
He immediately knew why—it was Hermione looking at him like he was a pervert.
He had to admit, Hermione in her loli form was at the peak of her beauty.
At least Li Ke couldn't stand the thought of her growing up.
Fleur was clearly prettier as an adult.
After all, no one expects a loli not to be flat-chested.
"I see…then isn't there any other method? Haven't you explored it?"
"Not really. Based on what I know so far, the way our energy shifts is dictated by the woman's mood and emotions during the act. But surely you didn't expect two people to foster deep, heartfelt feelings for each other in just two or three days, right?"
Li Ke felt equally helpless. If he had a choice, he wouldn't have wanted things to go this way either. But even though Kiri clearly had feelings for him, the option to "Return" her didn't even appear until after they had actually done the deed. What was he supposed to do?
"Indeed…"
Robin had nothing more to say, so she stood confidently in front of Li Ke.
"Then come on, Mr. Li Ke, take me back."
Li Ke nodded, stood in front of Robin, and placed his hand on her shoulder—after all, there were children present.
He activated his ability, and the next moment, Robin's body began to fade. Then, to her delight, she found herself standing on an island, with her small boat, which she had prepared beforehand, beside her.
She waved to Li Ke's illusory figure, jumped onto the boat, and began heading out to sea.
"This is actually real!"
Song Hana spoke up. Her voice was distinctive, with a girlish quality, but compared to Hermione, it was completely mature.
"It smells like a conspiracy!"
Hermione, standing nearby, quickly nodded and voiced her opinion.
Because it was too much of a coincidence!
Having inexplicably arrived in this world, and then inexplicably encountered a man who could return them to their own world by having sex with him—how could he not be suspicious!
I knew it!
"Mr. Li Ke is a real human, and a very fragile one at that. As for why he was able to send us back, it's probably related to his constitution."
Rias stepped forward to vouch for Li Ke.
Li Ke's internal organs had been replaced these past few days, and she had secretly used his blood to cast spells, making her absolutely certain that Li Ke was just an unlucky human.
Just a little special.
His body possessed strong spacetime energy, but he seemed unable to control this power.
There was no way around it; after all, he was a high-class devil. With Li Ke unable to defend himself, she could detect far too much.
Even if she directly used force, Li Ke would be powerless against it.
Rias had quite a few spells that could induce sleep and unconsciousness; she was perfectly capable of controlling Li Ke before he could even react.
It was just that she didn't like doing it this way.
Li Ke was her benefactor; she wasn't one of those heartless people who would do such a thing.
"Is that so? But we can't rule out the possibility that you're in cahoots, can we?"
Song Hana also put her hands on her hips and looked at Rias, while Rin Tohsaka seemed to see her past-self reflected in her.
"Well..."
Rias chuckled softly, a sphere of magical energy suddenly appearing in her hand. With a gentle flick, the sphere soared into the sky.
The next moment, a massive fireball exploded in the sky. The powerful shockwave and heat almost knocked the group over, and the violent gales were even interpreted as attacks, causing the merchant's house to clang and rattle incessantly.
"If I want to do something to you, you won't be able to resist."
Her smile remained, but Song Hana's lips twitched involuntarily. Hermione behind her instinctively hugged her leg, hiding her face behind her.
Clearly, Hermione was frightened.
"I understand."
Song Hana nodded. With such destructive power, forcing them was effortless; there was no need for beating around the bush.
Most importantly…
She couldn't make any calls here, yet her watch and devices told her that her watch wasn't being intercepted by any device.
She couldn't even contact a single satellite.
And the positions of the moon and sun were wrong.
Although holographic projection could do something similar, honestly, she didn't think anyone could bypass her defense system to target her.
Unless someone could get the entire official agency to cooperate with her.
And if that were the case…
She might as well just give up; that way, she could get more funding.
Thinking of the almost monopolistic class system in her own country, Song Hana sighed.
"Then hurry up, mouth will do, right?"
She looked directly at Li Ke and made a swallowing gesture.
Li Ke was speechless. Although she had to do it eventually, Song Hana was accepting it too quickly. Was this still the same video game girl?
"Why the expression? Do you have some strange expectations of someone who grew up in that kind of country? Please, are you really a modern person?"
She genuinely didn't care. If she could get back quickly, although she would mind, it was just a matter of the mouth; she really didn't care.
It wouldn't cause any trouble.
As for being conflicted…
She was a real soldier on the battlefield; why would she care about such trivial matters?
"I just think you need to be mindful of the little girl behind you who was born two thousand years ago."
Li Ke pointed to Hermione behind Song Hana, who also looked shocked.
But Song Hana simply shrugged.
"The problem is, if it's really as you say, she'll face the same issue too. She'll have to face it no matter what, so hurry up and take your pants off. I still have a qualifying match to play. If I can finish you quickly, I can still make it."
Are you insulting me?!
Li Ke's eyes widened. He truly hadn't expected Song Hana to be so decisive.
"My intuition tells me you're right, but my logic tells me there's something fishy going on. But most of the time, I just need to trust my intuition."
Song Hana crossed her arms and looked at Li Ke.
"By the way, do you have condoms? I don't want to catch some weird disease."
"..."
You really are being overly realistic.
Looking at Song Hana, who was practically begging him to hurry up and get to work, Li Ke rubbed his face.
He actually did bring some.
"Yes."
Satisfied with the answer, Song Hana prepared to have Li Ke lead her inside.
Her claim about the advancement match was a lie; She just got back from the Omnic conflict zones; she's worried about a second wave of Omnic reinforcements and is anxious to get back to her post.
"Let's go then."
She walked towards Li Ke, but just as she reached for his hand, Rin stepped forward and grabbed Li Ke's collar.
"There's a first-come, first-served rule for these things. I've been waiting for a long time."
With that, Rin dragged Li Ke into the house, giving Song Hana no chance to object.
The moment Li Ke was pulled into the house, Rin threw him onto the bed. He looked speechlessly at Rin's icy expression and said helplessly.
"You should have said you wanted to go back earlier, the condoms are over there..."
"I said, you're not really planning to make a move on that little girl, are you?"
Rin Tohsaka interrupted Li Ke, crossing her arms and looking at him.
"While I'd like to believe you're telling the truth, how should I put it? You lecherous guy, are you really not lying? If you're willing to use other methods, I don't mind letting you use my... my... my body to produce offspring!"
Rin Tohsaka trailed off, somewhat resigned.
After all, from a magician's perspective, leaving behind excellent offspring before participating in a potentially fatal war is the most sensible course of action.
So, she subconsciously curled her legs up, her face beginning to flush.
"No."
Li Ke answered her coldly.
"And can we not talk about this dangerous topic anymore?"
He genuinely didn't want to face this matter.
He couldn't bear to see people die in this world, so he had made his decision.
"Even at the risk of a 404 error, he is determined to save them!"
"It's because she's still a child! I can't just watch you become scum, can I? By the way, do you like my legs?"
Rin Tohsaka's words were cut short as she abruptly stomped her black-stockinged leg between Li Ke's legs.
Li Ke immediately perked up.
"Of course!"
Rin Tohsaka's hand touched a bottle containing Li Ke's blood. It was a special item made from Li Ke's blood, but it had no real function.
It could only determine if Li Ke was lying.
But clearly, Li Ke had never lied.
However, Rin Tohsaka still decided to test him.
"Do you think my breasts are small?"
Li Ke looked at her mouth, thinking it best not only for the person about to give him oral sex to say her breasts were small, but also because the clinking of their teeth would make him uncomfortable for a long time.
So he shook his head firmly again.
"Not small!"
The bottle in Rin Tohsaka's hand reacted.
"..."
An inexplicable anger surged within Rin Tohsaka's mind.
"Sorry about having small breasts!"
Rin Tohsaka casually tossed the dress aside, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to give Li Ke a small surprise from the Tohsaka family.
However, seeing Li Ke's panicked face, she gave up.
"So, want to try finding another way with me?"
She paused, her sharp mind already cycling through her Tohsaka Family training, looking for a loophole in the rules governing Li Ke's strange "energy" system. If the physical path was a dead end, she would simply have to hack the psychological one.
