“Phew—!”
The dazzling impact that swept towards Fang Li like a storm was immediately slashed as if by a thunderbolt, and it felt as if it were being cleanly cut apart by a thin white line, and dissipated directly.
With a casual slash, Fang Li nullified the incoming magic. As he dispelled the manifestation of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and let the Moonlight Dagger in his hand spin agilely, he sighed and spoke.
“You never seem to learn your lesson, huh.”
“The one who never learns their lesson is you,” Beatrice said with a displeased expression. “Do you really think Betty can’t handle you?”
“Do you have a way to handle me then?” Fang Li was curious, saying, “Then show me how you’ll do it.”
“Betty doesn’t want to waste magic power on a hateful person like you,” Beatrice coldly snorted. “Hurry up and leave Betty’s forbidden book repository.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Fang Li said nonchalantly. “I’ll leave after I finish looking for the book.”
With that said, Fang Li entered the forbidden book repository on his own, making Beatrice’s expression increasingly displeased.
Conversely, Pack, who had broken free from Beatrice’s grasp with a bit of force, flew to Fang Li’s side, asking half in surprise and half in admiration.
“You just seemed to have cut off the magic? How did you do it? Was that dagger a meteor?”
The so-called “meteor” referred to a magic item.
Even without opening a door like a magic user would, items that could use magic were all referred to as meteors, meaning gifts that fell from the sky.
To this, Fang Li casually answered Pack’s question as he browsed through the shelves in front of him.
“My dagger does have some special effects. If you call it a magic item, then so be it. Unfortunately, its effect isn’t used to deal with magic; it’s more like an illusion technique. It can produce a mirage effect when luck is on my side.”
“Is that so?” Pack rubbed his chin curiously and asked, “Then how did you deal with Betty’s magic just now?”
“I didn’t deal with it; I just killed it.” Fang Li had no intention of hiding anything, saying, “It’s not a big deal. I’m just particularly skilled in this area. There’s no need to overthink it.”
“By saying that, it makes it even harder for people to understand,” Pack said with a wry smile. “But if that’s really the case, then I can understand why your aura gives people such a dangerous feeling.”
“Is that so?” Fang Li didn’t turn around, casually answering Pack as he took down a book from the shelf. “Why is that?”
“You already know,” Pack answered somewhat uninterestedly. “If you really can kill anything, then no matter who it is, they will consider you dangerous, especially for those who are sensitive to such feelings.”
“So, there are quite a few sensitive people in this mansion.” Fang Li shrugged and said, “You and the little girl over there have no problem, after all, she’s a spirit who’s close to nature, so it’s understandable that she’s sensitive. But even those twin maids are so sensitive, making this mansion very unfriendly to me.”
“As for those twins, it’s not so much sensitivity as it is an extraordinary sense of smell,” Pack waved his hand and said, “Well, just consider them special.”
“Special isn’t just limited to those twins, right?” Fang Li said with a wry smile, “In this mansion, you and that little girl over there are special, those twin maids are special too. Of the remaining two people, one is a pervert, and the other is an airhead. I really don’t know who isn’t special.”
“As for Roswaal, let’s leave that aside. My daughter’s natural qualities are an advantage,” Pack immediately retorted. “Don’t you think Lia is the cutest? She’s so innocent and romantic.”
“I don’t deny that.” Fang Li shrugged, saying, “If it weren’t for the fact that I already have a lover, I really want to take that naive and romantic girl.”
“But you’re not allowed to have any ideas about my daughter!” Pack instinctively said such a line, then exclaimed in surprise, “By the way, you already have a lover?”
“What?” Fang Li rolled his eyes and said to Pack, “Is that strange?”
The one who answered this question was not Pack, but Beatrice, who was standing nearby with a displeased expression.
“Who could possibly be the kind of woman to choose someone as annoying as you?”
It seems that Beatrice has almost reached her limit with her dislike of Fang Li.
Of course, Fang Li feels that the reason for this might be because Pack is spending time with him instead of with Beatrice, causing this spirit girl to feel unbalanced.
This young spirit girl always carries an air of arrogance around everyone, except when facing Pack, she becomes clingy like a little girl.
After all, in this mansion, only these two are spirits.
However, this doesn’t change Fang Li’s attitude.
“If this is meant as a provocation, it’s quite low-level.”
Though saying this, Fang Li paused his actions for the first time, turned his head, and looked at Beatrice, and said such a line.
“After all, my lover is considered the best woman in the world.”
Leaving these words behind, Fang Li ignored Beatrice and continued selecting books.
Beatrice, on the other hand, also remained silent.
For a reason.
Even Fang Li himself might not have noticed it, right?
Just now, when mentioning Sylvie, how gentle his expression was.
Even Pack seemed stunned, floating in mid-air without reacting for a while.
It wasn’t until Fang Li left quietly with the selected books.
“Bang…”
With a somewhat clear sound of the door closing, Fang Li’s figure disappeared into the forbidden book repository.
Only Beatrice and Pack remained, both silent.
Shortly after, Pack flew to Beatrice’s side, staring at her with big round eyes, and said such a line.
“I think he’s not bad.”
One simple sentence, yet it caused Beatrice to react unusually.
“Betty only thinks he’s the worst.”
With that said, Beatrice no longer paid attention to her closest Elder Brother, instead, she lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and remained silent.
“Yareyare…”
Watching Beatrice like this, Pack spread out his hands helplessly.
“Both my daughter and my Little Sister are so uncommunicative.”
Isn’t it true?
Both Emilia and Beatrice are actually very afraid of loneliness.
Having someone like Fang Li, who treats them with equanimity, must bring them a lot of joy deep down, right?
However, both of them are unwilling to get closer to Fang Li.
In such a situation, Pack muttered.
“But that person indeed has many mysteries.”
“We mustn’t let our guard down.”
