Chapter 212 Secret Love
After three years, Allen returned to the dark secret place "Mushroom Garden".
A large area outside the secret realm has been occupied by the enemy.
Fortunately, the gate to the secret realm, the giant mushroom circle, is still under the control of the defenders.
After receiving Alan's magic message, Feilin and Julie were so excited that they ran to greet their old friend early in the morning.
Tao Na, a genius girl in the field of nature, was injected with an anti-aging agent when she was sixteen, so she still looks like a little girl.
Standing next to Julie, she looks particularly petite.
Taona and Griffin, brother and sister, practiced together in the mushroom garden for six years and formed a deep friendship.
Although she had an unpleasant experience with Allen.
But for the Griffin siblings' sake, they still came together to greet Allen.
Just as the three were looking forward to it, a beam of teleportation light rose from the ground outside the mushroom circle.
In the teleportation array, a tall and upright figure appeared and disappeared.
"Alan! My good brother, we finally meet again!"
Feilin couldn't contain his excitement and rushed forward with cheers.
Alan came up and hugged his old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time!
After many years, Feilin has grown from a fat boy to a handsome guy with a slightly plump figure.
He has grown a lot taller.
But compared to Allen, there is still half a foot gap.
"Alan, what is your current level of cultivation?" Feilin asked excitedly.
"Late fourth stage."
Alan didn't want to deceive his old friend.
Seeing Feilin’s eyes wide open, he was about to scream.
Allen quickly added: "I have been in seclusion in the secret realm of the Silver Moon Monastery for ten years!"
In fact, only four years.
The truth is so scary that no one believes it.
Upon hearing this, Fei Lin was relieved at first, then smiled bitterly.
"Even if you've been in seclusion for ten years, you're still much stronger than me!"
"Didn't I also practice in the Mushroom Garden for six years? But now my cultivation is only at the late third stage... Sigh, I can't compare with you!"
"Don't say that. If I give you another four years, you will also..."
Alan's words of comfort were interrupted by Feilin's wave of his hand.
"Brother! You don't understand my situation. Even if you give me another four years, I still won't be able to break through the bottleneck!"
"The upper limit of my bloodline has been reached. There is no more potential to be tapped. This is how my life will be!"
Alan's heart trembled and he held his hand tightly.
Feilin saw that he was feeling upset, so he forced a smile and tried to comfort him.
"That's all right! I've come to terms with it now. Don't feel sad for me!"
"Alan! I heard from Senior Brother Marvin that you had an adventure on Silver Moon Island. Your ogre bloodline merged with the bloodline of a leopard man, and you awakened a second time, becoming a demon leopard man?"
Julie came over and asked curiously.
Alan smiled and nodded.
“No wonder you were able to break through the upper limit of the ogre bloodline and advance to the fourth level!”
Julie looked envious.
"Oh right! You have been practicing in the secret realm for ten years. If you add in the time you have spent outside the secret realm, you are almost thirty years old now, right?"
Julie tilted her head and looked at Alan with confusion in her eyes.
"But you look like you're only about 17 or 18 years old...how do you maintain such good health?"
"Well..." Allen glanced at Tao Na and said vaguely, "Sister Julie, let's talk about my beauty secret in private."
"Tsk! You little brat, you're really good at keeping us in suspense!"
Julie rolled her eyes at him playfully.
He turned to look at his cousin with a look of disgust.
"You and Alan, two grown men, hugging and embracing each other, holding hands, unwilling to let go, don't you feel ashamed?"
"Shame on you!" Feilin said confidently.
"Stop talking nonsense and go away!"
Julie forcibly pulled her cousin and Alan's hands apart.
She took his place, took Alan's hand and gave him a long-awaited hug.
Alan hugged the tall and plump Julie, the soft touch was so comfortable!
He kissed her fair oval face, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and sighed contentedly.
"Sister Julie, I can't bear to let go of you after holding you."
Julie's cheeks were slightly red, and she buried her head in his neck, sighing:
"Alan, I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown taller and stronger."
"I also like being hugged by you like this. It's a rare opportunity to enjoy the feeling of being hugged by someone."
Allen picked up the 1.9-meter-tall big mare, weighed her, and whispered in her ear, "Sister Julie, you've lost a lot of weight than before. Are you on a diet?"
"Not really." Julie smiled shyly, "Maybe it's because I've been doing a lot of fighting lately and exercising a lot."
She would never admit that she was secretly dieting to lose weight in order to give Alan a new and beautiful impression.
Tao Na pricked up her ears beside her.
Hearing Julie's insincere words, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
"It's good that you're not dieting deliberately." Alan patted Julie on the back, "Otherwise, I'd be the only big eater here, and it would be too lonely when I eat."
"Well! Allen, we will eat together in the future. I have learned cooking skills and will cook delicious food for you!"
When Tao Na saw Julie's sweet and feminine look, she couldn't help but interrupt her.
"Julie! You and Junior Brother Allen have been hugging each other for so long, aren't you bored? I feel so nauseous for the two of you just watching from the side!"
Julie felt embarrassed by what she said and tried to get out of Allen's arms.
However, the pair of strong arms that were holding him tightly showed no signs of relaxing.
Julie felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
Under the pressure of his strength, I gave in and stopped struggling.
Alan put his arm around Julie's waist, turned to Taona and said:
"Sister Julie and I have been apart for many years and miss each other. What's wrong with being intimate when we meet?"
"It doesn't bother you, why do you mind your own business!"
Tao Na's pretty face turned red when he rebuked her in public.
I was so angry that I wanted to explode, but I couldn't find a reason.
After all, Jolie herself is happy to throw herself into his arms.
As an outsider, what can she do even if she doesn't like it?
Feilin could see that sparks flew between Alan and his cousin as soon as they met, and both wanted to communicate alone.
Tao Na is a bit weird.
It would be fine if she never fell in love, but when she saw others talking about love, she felt embarrassed for them and thought it was corny...
Alan and Julie are flirting with each other.
A little girl who doesn't understand romance is standing nearby and can't help making sarcastic remarks. How ruining the mood!
"Taona, let's not stay here and disturb my sister and Allen. Let's go somewhere else."
Feilin is such a good brother!
I wanted to get Tao Na away and create some private space for my cousin and friends.
Unfortunately, Tao Na, this talented girl, has very low emotional intelligence in some aspects!
Unable to understand Feilin's intention, he whispered nervously in his ear:
"Felin! We can't leave now!"
"I heard from others that Alan is a playboy!"
"I change girlfriends more frequently than I change clothes!"
"I'm worried that Julie will be toyed with by that playboy, so I have to keep a close eye on her!"
"No, Tao Na, you...what should I say?!"
Fei Lin hesitated to speak, not knowing whether to laugh or cry
First of all, he had to admit that Taona's observation was accurate.
During the two years at the Warlock Academy, the female sorcerers around Alan were like a revolving lantern, changing one after another.
The problem is that none of them are Allen's lovers, but guests who pay for his pleasure.
Feilin knew about Allen's half-open business, and Julie was also well aware of it.
As for Tao Na, she has always been well protected by her family and has never been involved in the flesh trade, so she doesn't know the inside story.
This is a misunderstanding, it is true.
However, the image of the top gigolo, known as the "Night King" in the Warlock Academy, in the eyes of pure girls...
I'm afraid he's even worse than a playboy!
Fei Lin felt that he had an obligation to cover up his friend's shame, but he didn't know how to clarify the misunderstanding to Tao Na, so he was speechless for a moment.
In the end, it was still up to my cousin to get out of the situation on her own.
"Taona! Allen and I have something to discuss. I'll excuse myself for now. We'll see you in the restaurant during dinner."
Julie took Alan's arm and walked into the mushroom circle.
With a flash of light, the two figures disappeared together.
Tao Na watched the two of them leave with an unhappy look on her face.
He still can't let go of Julie and is worried that she has met the wrong person.
Being deceived physically and emotionally by some playboy!
…
Alan followed Julie into the mushroom hut she and Tona shared.
The two girls shared a living room and each had a boudoir.
Alan sat down in the living room, drank the herbal tea made by Julie, and stretched comfortably.
"Sister Julie, there is something I need to return to you."
Alan took out the griffin feather amulet from his pocket.
A magical golden feather that can summon a griffin.
For many years before Allen learned the "Air Dance Technique", the Griffin Feather Talisman was used as a means of aerial transportation, which was of great help!
For this, he was deeply grateful to Julie who had generously lent him this magical artifact.
Julie waved her hand and smiled brightly.
"I already have a new feather talisman, so you don't have to return it."
"This one is a gift from me to you."
"If you don't mind, I'll keep it as a souvenir."
Alan didn't bother to be polite with her, and joked with a smile: "Is this considered a token of our love?"
Julie rolled her eyes at him, shy and annoyed.
"I hope so... However, I have never heard of one partner in a couple paying the other for a night's stay!"
Alan didn't expect that she still remembered this, and felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Julie is not a petty person.
He smiled and said to himself, "Look at it from a positive perspective. At least you gave me a 30% discount! Is that a reflection of our deep friendship?"
"Sister Julie, you don't have to really pay, just keep a record of it. I'm not short of money lately anyway."
"You're not short of money, but you still want me to keep accounts?"
Julie sneered and tried to analyze his mentality.
"So, what you care about is not money, but a certain...attitude? Or a sense of ritual?"
Alan nodded with relief.
"Sister Julie, you are truly my confidant!"
"Friendship is friendship, I can't take advantage of you for nothing."
"I'll accept your feather talisman, but I'll also have to give you a generous gift in return."
"Oh! What gift?" Julie became interested.
Alan opened the storage bag and took out a tube of anti-aging agent.
"Sister Julie, just now outside, you asked me why I didn't look old in ten years. How did I maintain my appearance? The secret lies in this potion."
How can a young and beautiful girl not want to maintain her youthful appearance?
When Julie heard him talk about the magical effects of the anti-aging agent, she felt grateful but also a little uneasy.
"Alan! Is it really appropriate to give me such an expensive gift?"
"Sister Julie, the anti-aging agent is indeed expensive, but compared with our friendship in times of trouble, it is nothing!"
Alan patted Julie's hand and comforted her to calm down.
"Sister Julie, there is one more thing I have to mention."
"Well! You go ahead, I'm listening!"
Julie held his arms, as docile as a little lamb
"You and Feilin, the bloodline of the griffin, the limit is the third level."
"If you don't consider other solutions, I'm afraid your cultivation path has come to an end."
Julie smiled wryly and nodded in acknowledgment.
"That's the truth. What else can we do?"
"Sister Julie, I have spent a lot of effort studying pharmacy during my years of further study at the Silver Moon Monastery."
"If you trust me and entrust your fate to me, I promise to give you a surprise."
Alan said seriously.
"Okay!" Julie said without hesitation.
She agreed so readily that Alan was caught off guard and was stunned.
"Sister Julie, bloodline improvement will involve some risks. Don't you want to consider it carefully?"
Julie shook her head and smiled.
"Alan, we haven't been together for a long time, but I think I know you well enough."
"You are a bit of a playboy, but you are absolutely wonderful to your friends!"
"You offered to help me improve my bloodline, which shows that you have considered the risks and are convinced that the benefits far outweigh the risks."
"As for me, although I'm not very smart, I can judge people very well."
"You are good to me, and I like you, and I am willing to hand over my fate to you."
"If the bloodline improvement fails and I die from bloodline collapse, then I will be unlucky!"
"Rather than being stuck in the late third stage for the rest of my life with no hope of a breakthrough, I'd rather take a risk and try to make a name for myself!"
Alan was touched when he heard Julie reveal her true feelings.
He held her hand with a sad look on his face.
"Sister Julie, I feel really bad when you say that."
"Originally, I just wanted to maintain a pure friendship with you."
"Now that I've heard your true feelings, I can't help but like you more. I even want to marry you home."
"But, my family already has several wives and concubines, and I still want to monopolize you... Isn't that too greedy?"
Julie laughed out loud, showing her perfect white teeth.
"You bastard brother! You are such a bastard!"
He did not criticize Alan's dirty thoughts too much, but just smiled and punched him.
Maybe she had already seen through this shameless man and realized that he was like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water!
Julie's warlock bloodline comes from the griffin.
Griffins, what new species can they evolve into?
Allen didn't know.
Try to use the system to deduce the evolutionary path.
Manticore, Lamia, Lamasu, Sphinx...
There are several paths, none of which is ideal.
Either the evolution is limited and not cost-effective.
Either the potential required for evolution is too much and Allen cannot afford it.
There is also an eagle horse route, which is even worse and purely degenerate!
It seems that Julie cannot go down the path of bloodline evolution.
The path that suits her better is fusion!
So here comes the question.
Which warlock bloodline belongs to the same lineage as the griffin?
There are two situations to discuss.
The griffin has the characteristics of both a lion and a giant eagle.
Therefore, in theory, any bloodline related to "lion" or "giant eagle" can be tried to merge with the griffin bloodline.
Alan has not yet obtained the blood essence of the eagle-type monster.
As for the lions...
Speaking of this, he is so familiar with it!
The Silver Moon Monastery and the Cat Academy's beastly bloodlines are divided into four categories.
lion!
Tiger!
Leopard!
Meow!!
The blood of cats and humans can be fused with the blood of griffins.
The closest relative among them is undoubtedly the lion-man bloodline.
"Lion Sister" Maria owes Allen a lot of money for prostitution.
If you really can't pay it back, sell your blood to pay it off.
The blood essence of Sister Lion is now useful.
Alan spent 1 potential point to fuse the lion-man bloodline with Julie's griffin bloodline.
The resulting composite bloodline is called "Griffin Man".
The blood of the griffin people is rarer than the blood of the leopard people.
However, it cannot be considered that he created the world and became the first ancestor!
This is exactly what Allen wanted.
In case a composite bloodline similar to that of the Poisonous Wizard or the Self-created Ancestor was created, he would not dare to inject it into Julie.
Otherwise it would be difficult to explain if Julie asked about it.
Rare but ancient bloodlines do not have this problem.
Julie first injected the "Griffin Awakening Agent", and then injected the "Heaven Repairing Agent" given by Alan.
Improve this new bloodline to superior quality.
Julie is excited!
Like a child who gets a new toy, he can't wait to meditate and practice to awaken the "Griffin" bloodline as soon as possible!
Alan waved his hand and reassured her not to be anxious.
"Sister Julie, there are some things I want to say first."
"The Griffin inherited the beastman's chronic disease, beastism!"
"Whenever the moon is full, I tend to lose control of my mind."
"Once the beast goes berserk, it will not recognize any relatives, and the consequences will be serious!"
"In order to suppress your lycanthropy, from today on, you must switch to a meditation method designed specifically for lycanthropes."
"I know this, the calming meditation method!"
Julie took over the conversation and looked at Alan eagerly.
"Apart from the Beast Cult, the Silver Moon Monastery has the most beast warlocks!"
"You studied in the monastery. Did you learn how to calm your mind and meditate?"
"I know a little bit." Alan said calmly.
"Can you help me get a tranquilizing meditation awakening potion? The price is negotiable!"
"You can, but it's not necessary."
Alan smiled.
"Sister Julie, I have a better meditation method, but it's not convenient for me to give it to you right now. Are you free tonight?"
"I'm always available if you come find me!"
Julie blurted out.
Afterwards, I felt a little embarrassed, but I didn't hide it.
In her mind, there is no such thing as pretending to be hypocritical.
What Allen liked was precisely her straightforward and frank character.
"After dinner, I will help you fuse your blood and practice meditation, okay?"
"Um!"
Julie nodded happily.
Seeing Alan getting up to leave, I couldn't help but hug him.
"Sister Julie, are you reluctant to let me go?"
Julie blushed and nodded bravely.
Alan caressed her glorious blonde hair and leaned in for a kiss.
Julie raised her head to meet his passionate kiss and they embraced each other sweetly.
After the passionate kiss, Julie suddenly remembered something.
"Alan! Feilin is facing a similar dilemma as me. Can you also help him improve his bloodline and break through the bottleneck?"
Alan couldn't help but laugh and reached out to pinch her pink cheek.
"Felin and I have a life-long friendship. Do I need you to remind me of this?"
"Okay, I was being polite, I'm sorry!"
"Don't just talk big, be practical."
"What do you want from me?"
Julie pouts, her lips looking very fleshy.
"When we go on a date tonight, remember to wear black stockings, take a nice shower, and wait for me in the bedroom."
Alan asked without shame.
No matter how cheerful and generous Julie was, she was still a young girl after all, and she finally gave in.
Her face flushed and she punched him.
"Bah! You kid... are so bad!"
Although he complained, he had already made up his mind.
The suspender black stockings and short skirt are so charming!
Bad thing! Tonight, sister will let you feel the lethality of black stockings and long legs!
…
Mushroom garden.
Tall mushrooms form an underground forest, which is dark and silent.
Two young people were walking side by side in the mushroom forest.
Flynn performed the "dancing lights" trick.
The magic power created four balls of light that chased each other in the air.
Like a group of naughty elves.
Alan could see that Feilin was worried.
Even without using his telepathy, he could have guessed it almost exactly.
Since Feilin is too embarrassed to confess.
Alan simply took the initiative to speak out to help his old friend share his worries.
"Felin, do you believe in love?"
"Ah? This..."
Feilin scratched his head, at a loss.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Are you and Tao Na in love?"
Allen went straight to the point.
Feilin looked embarrassed.
Under his gaze, I had to tell the truth.
"Love... I'm afraid it can't be considered love."
"It's just that I'm secretly in love with her."
Feilin sighed, his lonely eyes unable to hide his inferiority.
"I like Taona, but unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have any feelings for me and only treats me as an ordinary friend."
"You haven't confessed to her yet?" Alan asked softly.
Feilin shook his head embarrassedly.
"Brother, I'm actually not very good at chasing girls."
Alan's tone was low and sincere.
"It's just some theoretical advice, just listen to it."
"Suppose Tao Na also likes you, but is shy and embarrassed to express her feelings, will the two of you continue to waste time?"
"I think if you like someone, you should be brave enough to say it out loud. Even if you are rejected, it is better than regretting it later."
"Be a man and take the initiative. It's not that difficult!"
Feilin glanced at him and said angrily:
"You kid, don't you know how to pursue girls?"
"That's right, it's always the girls who chase you!"
"I actually understand all the principles you mentioned."
"But when it happens to you, it's not as simple as it sounds."
"Taona and I have a huge gap in family background and talent."
"My griffin bloodline has an upper limit of the third stage."
"Taona is younger than me, but her cultivation is higher than mine."
"The gap between us will grow bigger and bigger in the future."
"To be honest, I know I'm not worthy of her."
"We can still be friends without confessing."
"If you break this window paper, you won't even have friends anymore!"
It was not difficult for Allen to understand Feilin's depressed mood.
Seeing that he was being left further and further behind by Tao Na, he couldn't help but feel inferior.
"Alan, do you remember when we were in the academy?"
"On the day that Angell married into the Randolph family, he hosted a banquet for his old classmates."
"We went to the banquet excitedly, but ended up being severely humiliated by Pamela."
"From that day on, I realized how strong the barrier between the poor and the wealthy was!"
"Taona's family background is not much worse than Pamela's."
"I come from a poor family and I don't have the amazing talent like Angel. Why should I pursue a lady from an aristocratic family?"
Feilin put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking lost in thought.
"To be honest, if Tao Na accepted my confession, I would be even more miserable."
"Why?" Alan was surprised.
"Because I can't bear to let Taona suffer with me."
"Think about it, a rich lady like her, even if she is willing to marry, will her parents and family elders agree?"
"Taona is a simple yet stubborn girl."
"Once you recognize a truth, you will stick to it to the end."
"If she falls out with her family because of me, how can you let me bear it?!"
"If I don't mind her bearing these pressures, it only means that I don't love her at all, and I only love my own vanity."
Feilin sighed and said quietly:
"I don't expect to win Tao Na's heart, I just hope she can live a better life than me and marry a good man who is well-matched with her. I will also silently send my blessings."
