【Save Point: The Witch's Seaside Cottage】
【Readable Saves Left: 5/5】
Luo Wei was momentarily stunned as the notifications popped up one after another.
What surprised him wasn’t the updated save point, but Tilis’ character information.
A spiritual entity?
Tilis existed as a spiritual entity? Was she already dead?
Almost instinctively, he pinched Tilis’ cheek.
Soft, delicate, and slightly warm—it wasn’t the desiccated corpse he had imagined.
He could even hear her faint breathing, so close it felt intimate.
Luo Wei couldn’t help but study her curiously, wondering what kind of life form she truly was now.
“What… are you doing?”
Tilis, who had been trembling with excitement, suddenly froze. She looked at Luo Wei with confusion, her cheeks slightly reddened by his touch.
“It’s nothing…” Luo Wei chuckled awkwardly. “I just suddenly felt like touching you.”
Tilis blinked. “Have you had enough?”
“I’ve had enough…” Luo Wei slowly lowered his hand.
At that moment, the oppressive aura emanating from her seemed to weaken, and the objects around them finally stopped trembling.
It seemed like they could communicate normally again.
Tilis smiled sweetly. “If you’ve had enough, let’s continue. I’ll take you to witness the truth. Together, we’ll become gods.”
Luo Wei looked at her helplessly. Become gods together? More like go crazy together.
He raised his hand again, trying to calm her down.
“I haven’t had enough.”
But to his surprise, Tilis grabbed his right hand and pressed it against her cheek.
“Then hurry up and touch me. You can touch me however you want. Once you’re done, we’ll set off.”
Seriously? Still in such a hurry?
Luo Wei stared at her, realizing that her obsessive, fanatical determination was something that couldn’t be changed.
Tilis held Luo Wei’s hand tightly, nuzzling it gently, savoring his warmth.
Though her tone grew softer, the fervor and obsession in her words remained undiminished.
“Why doesn’t anyone believe me…”
“Half a year ago, I almost touched it… I really saw it…”
“The Gate of Truth slowly opened before us… Such magnificent power, the wisdom to comprehend everything, the ultimate origin of all things in the universe… How beautiful, how exhilarating…”
Tilis murmured incessantly, and as Luo Wei listened, he suddenly noticed something odd.
“You said… ‘we’?”
“At that time, were you and your teacher together?”
Tilis seemed lost in her own world, her eyes closed as she responded instinctively.
“Yes, my teacher was right beside me. She has already become a god…”
Luo Wei’s expression turned serious. “Tilis, since you were there when your teacher disappeared, tell me—
What did she look like at that time? How did she become a god? What kind of transformation did her body undergo? What form did the truth take? What exactly did you two see in the research facility?”
He didn’t need abstract, grandiose descriptions. He just wanted to know what had truly happened half a year ago.
“The truth is the truth… What form could it possibly take?”
Tilis suddenly opened her eyes, frowning slightly.
“Ignorance is truly the greatest barrier to communication. Even you, Luo Wei, can’t help but fall into such clichés, uttering such stale words.”
She gripped Luo Wei’s right hand tightly, her eyes burning with urgency.
“Let’s go now! Right now!!”
“Once we get there, you’ll understand! You’ll be as excited as I am!”
“Tilis, don’t rush. I’ll go, alright…” Luo Wei sighed, realizing that going there was unavoidable. He’d just have to take things one step at a time.
He instinctively tried to pull his hand away.
But in the next moment, a cold, hard sensation brushed against Tilis’ cheek, and she finally noticed something she had overlooked.
“Huh?”
Tilis grabbed Luo Wei’s right hand, her gaze fixed on the ring on his middle finger.
A dark, antiquely designed ring adorned it…
“This is…”
“What is this?”
Her deep purple eyes glimmered with a strange light, widening in disbelief.
Even with her limited understanding of social norms, she knew the significance of wearing a ring on that finger.
In a relationship.
Taken…
Tilis stared at the ring on Luo Wei’s hand, her aura suddenly turning dark and menacing.
“Who??”
“Who gave this to you?”
“Was it your vampire teacher? Or Helena??”
Seeing Luo Wei’s hesitant expression, Tilis shook her head violently.
“No, no! They wouldn’t dare!!”
Her cold purple eyes bore into Luo Wei as she spoke slowly, word by word.
“Was it Ophelia? Was it her?”
Luo Wei chuckled helplessly. “It’s not as simple as you think. I can’t take this ring off. I really have no choice…”
He looked down at the ring, reading its description.
【Eternal Love (Accessory)】
【A pair of magical rings forged by Gould and his disciple, the alchemist Danton. Capable of storing the equivalent of 100 cubic standard Magic Crystal Stones’ worth of energy. Provides a powerful magical shield until the energy is depleted.】
【The rings possess long-range magical communication capabilities and can sense each other’s location. Gould crafted them as a token of affection for his beloved. Once worn, they are nearly impossible to remove.】
【Description: “This isn’t surveillance. It’s my love for you!”】
Gould’s beloved, it seemed, was his senior sister Usoma…
The old headmaster was quite the obsessive type…
Though it was unclear why the ring never ended up on Usoma’s finger and instead found its way into Ophelia’s hands…
“You can’t take it off?” Tilis sneered. “I think you just don’t want to!”
Luo Wei smiled wryly. “Really, I can’t. Try it yourself if you don’t believe me.”
Tilis, furious, grabbed the ring and yanked with all her might.
The force was so strong that Luo Wei felt like his finger might snap…
But the ring remained firmly in place.
“How is this possible? How can something like this exist?” she exclaimed in disbelief.
This time, a blue magical aura enveloped the ring as Tilis tried every method she could think of to remove the detestable thing.
Yet the ring didn’t budge…
“No, no!” Her eyes grew increasingly sinister. “You can’t wear something like this. I don’t want to see it!”
Suddenly, a glowing blue blade materialized in her hand.
“What the hell are you doing??” Luo Wei was shocked.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry…” Tilis smiled gently.
“I’ll just cut off your finger. Then you can take it off.”
Yeah, right! Luo Wei glared at her in disbelief.
At least Helena had offered him anesthesia when she wanted to do something drastic. But you? You just go straight for the chop!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
