Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 512 - 267: Meimei (Part 2)

"Huh? Your support abilities have reached this level now?" The witch was somewhat surprised.

Her doubt was reasonable because this ability comes from the Material Magic Scripture, and when they faced the Six-armed Demon together, Li Ang didn’t know this technique.

Moreover, even a strong person adept at manipulating Wind Elements may not necessarily be able to construct a perfect Armor of Wind for others, and Nebis’ people, without the right equipment, Summoned Beast, and Energy Source, typically have a limited scope for their Profession.

If the witch’s original abilities had such a level, she wouldn’t have faced so much criticism.

"It’s newly developed and still under study. Using it on others is something I just started doing."

Li Ang obviously couldn’t explain the power of the Material Magic Scripture, but the latter half of his statement wasn’t a complete lie.

The two of them moved with the wind, and as they approached the water, Li Ang dispelled the magic.

"I’ll go over first, you stay behind and act when the opportunity arises."

"Is it necessary to be so tense?" Farina didn’t seem particularly worried the whole way, as if her attitude changed after seeing the calm appearance of the Moon Concealing Rabbit. She trusted the Dragon God immensely.

"I can’t say for sure."

Meimei’s strange words were only said to Li Ang privately, but they were hard to explain to others. Even those who believed in Li Ang unconditionally found it hard to accept Meimei’s pessimistic words about the future, thinking there was distortion in the information he relayed.

He walked alone through the shrubs in the forest, parted the vines, and arrived at the secret water’s edge he had visited before.

Here were fresh water sources and abundant fruits, a place he originally thought Meluna would come to.

On a smooth stone by the water, Meimei sat cross-legged, her eyes closed, as if meditating on some profound magic. Her exquisite beauty showed a hint of charm even at this age.

Meluna’s messy black hair covered almost two-thirds of her face, but once parted, her charming appearance was undeniably similar to Meimei’s.

Li Ang took a deep breath, deliberately making his footsteps louder as he walked towards her.

The young girl’s long and curly eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her water-blue eyes.

"You’re here?" she said with a gentle smile.

"Otto is looking for you."

"Of course."

Meimei stood up gently and said, "Grandpa Otto looks calm, but when it comes to people he cares about, he gets flustered. If that weren’t the case..."

She didn’t finish her sentence and appeared sullen.

Her little white feet stepped on the stones and walked into the water, disturbing the originally calm pond as if her arrival caused it to ripple.

She slightly lifted the hem of her dress, looking at Li Ang: "I just finished cultivating and worked up a sweat. How about joining me for a wash, big brother?"

"No, thanks."

The girl tilted her head slightly: "Aren’t we going to continue what we did before?"

"There was nothing before; everything was your inexplicable behavior."

Li Ang shook his head: "You are not a child at all. Perhaps the initial innocence was three parts real, but seven parts were fake. Tell me, who are you really?"

"What are you talking about?"

Meimei looked surprised and innocent, as if she was about to explain to Li Ang.

However, the situation at her feet was different. The water waves around her slender ankles rippled, and as soon as Li Ang sensed the strange spirituality, her figure immediately vanished.

The outermost layer of the Six Layered Magical Shield beside Li Ang was instantly slashed by a blade, and the protection made of the Power of Life shattered and scattered, with the remaining force escaping into the nearby plants, causing them to grow suddenly.

"Ah."

Meimei said indifferently, "You actually defended in advance."

Li Ang used his magic to blast the girl away, and her petite and lightweight body flipped backward and landed safely to the side.

"That slash required the Excellence Realm, and this swordsmanship—"

Li Ang couldn’t believe it, but still cursed under his breath, "Meluna, what game are you playing?!"

Upon seeing this swordsmanship, Meimei’s identity in his eyes was confirmed.

Meimei’s attitude, however, remained indifferent, showing no sign of being exposed.

"Blame me."

Her tone was void of emotion, completely different from the girl called "Meimei" he had seen before.

"I’m too weak. Saying too much to you before aroused your suspicion. Yes, yes, one must have such suspicion to take on great responsibilities. This is what I couldn’t achieve."

"What are you talking about?" Li Ang frowned.

He knew every word she said but couldn’t comprehend them when put together.

He noticed her sword, ancient in style, not like something a common artisan would craft, more like an ancient relic from a lost civilization, likely from within Huanwo Village.

[Sea Tide Blade]

[A water attribute excellent blade resonating with the tide from ancient times, forged from the remnants of the Sea Forging Furnace, it uses Sea Dragon scales and receives amplification in an environment where Sea Dragon power exists]

[Tier: 7]

[Category: Long Sword]

[Attack Enhancement: If using a Water Element attack, starting from the second strike, it won’t consume the wielder’s magic power reserves or Qi Power]

[Equipment Skills: Tidal Splash]

Meluna had never used such a weapon before. When Li Ang met her, she wielded a Water Attribute Treasure, but he had never come into contact with her sword, nor was there a panel back then, so he didn’t know the details.

However, this sudden attack had crossed Li Ang’s line.

"Meluna, did I do something wrong to you before? Are you sure you want to draw your sword against me?"

Even though much time had passed, he still felt as if his heart had fallen into a cold abyss.
