C15 A Peerless Beauty

"What's the matter, Diaochan?" Niu Li asked with concern.

The Elf stared blankly at the door, her voice tinged with alarm. "Brother, someone just detected my presence."

"What? How did that happen?" Niu Li exclaimed, taken aback. Could there actually be others on Earth who were aware of magic and had mastered telepathy, aside from himself and the Elf?

"I'm not sure, but I felt something very odd. That person's Mental Energy shouldn't be able to leave their body, yet their gaze was so intimidating. They picked up on my Mental Energy the moment it drew near," the Elf said, visibly frightened.

A shadow fell over Niu Li's expression. This place was clearly far from normal. There was a formidable expert somewhere here, guarding it, but he had no idea who it could be. He wondered if he could still count on magic to survive in this place.

Meanwhile, two waiters approached and escorted the two individuals next to Niu Li away. Judging by their expressions, it seemed a wealthy woman had set her sights on them.

Now alone, Niu Li felt a twinge of nervousness.

Out of the blue, the Elf sent a message that instantly perked him up. Skinny and Chickenhead were on their way.

Was it finally time for the main event?

Indeed, as soon as Chickenhead arrived, he flung open the door to Niu Li's room. His excitement was palpable as he grinned and said, "Kid, it's your lucky day."

Niu Li inwardly scoffed, yet his face beamed with pleasure. "Are we heading out now?" he inquired.

With a subtle nod, Niu Li discreetly slipped the small bottle into his pocket.

Once they stepped out of the room, Chickenhead led Niu Li onto the elevator and up to the sixth floor.

The floor was eerily quiet. The waiters they encountered in the hallway carried themselves with a surprising air of propriety, which raised Niu Li's eyebrows.

After navigating a series of turns, they stood before an opulent door.

Chickenhead rapped on the door twice, and a deep voice from within commanded, "Enter."

Upon opening the door, Chickenhead entered with a deep bow, fawning with a nod and smile at the middle-aged man behind the door.

The man paid Chickenhead no mind, his attention fixed on Niu Li, his expression one of approval.

Stepping into the room, Niu Li barely had time to register its lavishness before his gaze was captured by a woman seated on the hall's sofa.

She was a beauty without equal!

Aside from the two bodyguards sporting sunglasses, a middle-aged man couldn't help but steal glances at the stunning woman. A glint of greed flickered in the depths of his eyes, mingled with a hint of fear.

As Niu Li entered the room, Chickenhead greeted him with a practiced smile. "Miss Long, what's your take on this young fellow?"

It was only then that the exquisite beauty, who had been exuding an air of nonchalance, turned her gaze toward Niu Li.

Truth be told, Niu Li was quite the looker, with a robust build that seemed beyond his years. He didn't have the pallor of those delicate young men; rather, he possessed a rugged charm. His looks might not turn the heads of young girls, but mature women found him irresistible.

After sizing him up, the beauty appeared quite pleased. She smiled and gave a nod of approval. "Very nice."

"If he's to your liking, we'll leave you two alone," the middle-aged man interjected hastily. "Should you need anything, just press the red button on the table, and we'll be here to assist you at a moment's notice."

He didn't miss the chance to sweep his eyes over Miss Long's figure as he spoke.

"You may all leave," Miss Long stated coolly, her interest in Niu Li evident.

The bodyguard with sunglasses didn't question the order and led the way out. The middle-aged man and Chickenhead followed suit, smiling as they exited.

As the middle-aged man turned to leave, he shot Niu Li a look that carried both envy and a chilling darkness.

Niu Li committed the man's face to memory, mentally adding him to his blacklist.

With the room cleared and the door shut, Niu Li's composure wavered.

He had a plan in place for this kind of situation. If Chickenhead had set him up with an elderly woman, he would've spun a few lies, plied her with drink, and then subtly applied his mental energy to lull her into sleep, sparing himself any concerns about his virginity.

But life is full of surprises, and Chickenhead hadn't paired him with an old woman at all, but rather a young and exceptionally beautiful woman.

Confronted with this daunting challenge, Niu Li was at a loss. Should he give in to her wishes, or should he find a way to resist?

"Come over here," Miss Long drawled, propping herself up languidly as she cast a teasing glance at Niu Li.

Niu Li hesitated, shaking his head instinctively before realizing his mistake and bashfully lowering his gaze.

"You're quite adorable, aren't you?" Miss Long was taken aback, then chuckled behind her hand.

Niu Li clenched his jaw. Today, he was determined to get the upper hand with her. What was there to fear? He needed to ascertain just who this woman was.

With purposeful strides, Niu Li made his way over and sat down next to Miss Long.

Caught off guard by Niu Li's abrupt move, Miss Long soon noticed that despite his seemingly easygoing demeanor, his face was now flushed as red as a baboon's behind.

"You're such a riot," Miss Long said, her laughter drawing Niu Li's gaze.

"I need to cool off. It's nothing serious."

Internally chanting for calm, Niu Li's heart raced, and his cheeks grew warmer. He quickly averted his face, mentally berating himself, "This is embarrassing. I'm such a novice."

"I had pegged you for a romantic, someone seasoned in the art of lovemaking. It seems I'll have to show you how it's done."

Her warm breath caressed Niu Li's ear, her seductive voice enveloping him.

Stirred by Miss Long's breath, Niu Li nearly leaped to his feet. He turned to face her, her lips aglow and slightly parted, irresistibly enticing.
