Option 61

  Panni released his hand, retreated two steps and sat down on the stool at the head of the bed, staring at the withered mistletoe in the water bottle behind the female lawyer's back and the scrolls on the table emitting arcane power: "You actually studied pink magic, which really surprises me."

  "Is it worth researching the pink weirdness?" Lijita's expression quickly returned to normal: "However, since you can perceive it, you must be a kindred spirit. Why not have an in-depth exchange about the research progress?"

  "I recall a pink magic that can summon a humanoid creature to satisfy one's lust, and the demand for magical power is not too harsh." Penny smiled. He had already intuitively grasped the distance between this female mage's thoughts and purity, so based on the principle of "purity for purity, lewdness for lewdness", his words also gradually became more off-color.

  "You haven't used it either, have you? Who would like those boring dolls?" Lijita laughed again. At this time, Lijita took out a scroll and a strong light flashed by. Her hand reached out to Penny again, but Penny dodged hastily, only to find that Lijita's fingers seemed to seal off the space for evasion from all sides, just like a legendary martial arts master.

  Victory belongs to the side that is willing to take the risk!

  Penny recognized the spell, but before he could fully react, his lower body was already stimulated by the strange power carried by that finger. A strong heat entered his nervous system and into the hypothalamus, stimulating the pituitary gland, and a strong sexual impulse caused Penny to grab the woman's wrist in red robes and pull her onto the bed, his body pressed against hers. Just as his desire was about to explode completely, his willpower suppressed the power of the aphrodisiac spell.

  He doesn't mind having sex with a beautiful woman, but he can't just rush into battle in a muddle.

  Is the Red Robe Master good? After understanding the rules for joining the Red Robes, Panni knew that having a physical relationship with an opposite-sex Red Robe might have very serious consequences.

  "What are you worried about? The little husband arranged for me by the family has already died, and there's no sign of them finding a new partner for me yet. Before the next one is decided, I still have the right to indulge a bit." A woman with an expressionless face spoke in such a casual tone, giving off a rather eerie feeling, at least to Penny: "You don't need to be reserved about it either, since they've already decided to absorb you, formal marriage doesn't require consideration of chastity, hmm... this kind of thinking has been outdated for hundreds of years in Serl."

  Just as Penny was slightly stunned, he felt the cover being lifted, and the vertical military flag passed through the narrow tunnel, touching a barrier when the mage who was about to dodge was stunned again.

  Ligita's body sank down, the narrow entrance suddenly collapsed, and the flag that stood still was also buried. A long sigh with a hint of regret swept across Panni's cheek.

  "It didn't feel so wonderful after all." Lijit's eyebrows furrowed slightly - err, as mentioned earlier, this was just an action, her eyebrows were already gone, but her annoyance could still be seen: "Why do people always..."

  "Because of physiological needs." Since it has come to this point, Penny also let go, and it's too annoying to get out after getting in.

  However, he didn't believe that Lijitao came to him just to alleviate her loneliness. He thought of the man in red robes in the research room: "Why not go find Hughes? He should have been with you for a long enough time."

  "Who?" Lijita hummed, but it was almost drowned out by the surging gasps: "What's he good for? Just a gutless and shrinking guy who wasted such an excellent birth."

  "Oh? His birth is very noble?"

  "There are no more than twenty people in the entire Red Robe Association who have a better background than him." Lijitai said bluntly, "He can choose to be the most powerful person in Quanzel, but instead he is willing to stay in this godforsaken place that never sees daylight and study those broken stones."

  "It sounds like you're not satisfied." Penny grunted, making a strong thrust, the flush on the female mage's face spread to her cheeks: "But anyone has the power to choose."

  "The power of choice? Why is such a luxury so rarely found in my world?" The female mage wrapped her arm around Penny's neck: "Why not continue? I've only just tasted a little sweetness."

  The bed board creaked again with a squeaking sound.

  Time had passed unknowingly, and Penny Xien gradually got used to the atmosphere, opening her mouth again:

  "I don't mind sharing some pleasure with you either, but I'd like to know, why did you come to me? Am I supposed to give you something that Hughes can't?"

  "How many commoner apprentices, certified directly by the family elder and skipping the clan meeting, do you think can get a job at fifteen?" Lijita sneered with a smile.

  "Hmm, is it rare to find a job at this age? Aren't you about the same?" Penny lowered her head and bit into the high-protruding red bean, while the tender skin beside her produced small red dots due to the chill. She heard the female mage let out a long sigh.

  Suddenly, the gasps turned into muffled hums, Penny's spine was like a current of electricity, her whole body tensed and relaxed in an instant, and she finally let out a long breath and fell onto Lizzie's body.

  "Oh, I'm already 19 years old." Upon hearing this, Penny's head lifted up again, incredulously scanning the female lawyer's body, which was at most 15 or 16 years old, before letting out a breath: "Uh, I think I made an error in my subjective recognition."

  "Delayed development and myopia, this is not something I can choose, fate has rarely given me a choice, even if there was one, the outcome of that choice would have been predetermined long ago." Liji Tower said faintly, just about to get up, but was pressed down by Penny: "You haven't told me why you're looking for me to make love?"

  "Revenge, oh, of course that's just an excuse, if there is one, then it's just hoping to find a way out of this ghost place, but now it seems forget it, you're not as easy to deal with as I imagined..."

  "So you might as well just treat this whole thing like a fling, like you said, satisfy each other's physical needs and have fun, no one owes anyone anything." Lijitara said casually, taking a close look at Penny's face.

  "By the way, you really seem to dislike working here? Why not change it? There are less than two thousand formal red robes in all of Ser, and there should be no shortage of vacancies in various departments." Penni frowned.

  "Do you think I can just leave here at will?" Lijita raised an eyebrow, "I wonder if that gossipmonger has told you about the rumors surrounding me?"

  "Pan Ni recalled for a moment, and slowly opened her mouth: 'He said you have some creditors...'"

  "They're all dead." The female lawyer's expression turned icy cold in an instant, and the sultry, humid air seemed to freeze.

  Pan Ni suddenly felt a chill run from three inches below his abdomen straight up to the top of his head.

  "Oh, you don't know, I was born in a very barren place, so barren that even the Ser Knights didn't bother to go there to recruit apprentices. My family had the status of free people, but our lives were not much different from those of slaves. We couldn't afford to hire farmhands, and the land only yielded a little grain each year. To make ends meet, my sister had to marry the lame town constable. Hehe, how did that feel? Didn't it seem like it wasn't the first time? I learned all these things from my sister. If nothing unexpected happened, my fate would have been to marry that old and perverted town mayor to pay off our family's huge debt... Oh, I forgot to add that he was a follower of Lovita, and his previous wives had all been played to death by him.

  Lijitah recounted her hair-raising history in a calm tone, making Panni's hairs stand on end: "If it wasn't for my constable brother-in-law bringing me into the city for a meeting that one time, my fate would have been sealed. How about you? Can you still say 'anyone has the power to choose' after hearing all this? Oh, right, if another option is death, then of course everyone can say that."

  Penny didn't know what to say and could only pretend to listen.

  "You don't know how I felt when, after struggling for twelve years in various academies and finally making a name for myself, I returned to my hometown wanting to give my family a happy life, only to find that they had been caught by the town mayor and tortured to death in the dungeon due to famine. When I took the lives of his entire family, their expressions seemed to still be in doubt - how could this weak-bodied, near-sighted, illiterate kid who was once just a pure bookworm possibly survive and come back? Hahaha... what a delightful memory indeed..."

  Liji Tower smiled nervously for a moment, then looked at Penny's face: "Huh? What's with that expression?"

  "It's admirable that you're willing to take revenge. Penney had already somewhat understood Lijita's personality and knew that showing pity or similar emotions to a woman with such a stubborn personality would be futile, so she simply expressed admiration: "However, it seems like you've paid the price for it. Even small bureaucrats have some connection with the Red Robe Society internally, and even if it's for revenge, they can't just kill indiscriminately."

  "Oh, that's right, the price is that I was exiled from the Mages' Association for a period of time and my spellcasting abilities were restricted during this time. Oh, this is also the law of Sel, those high-ranking mages didn't want to help me, even fixing a first-class spell, so I can only wear glasses every day." Lijitah shook her head, revealing a small patch of unusual color behind her tattoo, Panni noticed that it was obviously a seal, and the female mage's expression remained natural: "It's okay, this job is safe enough, I won't be killed by jealous guys."

  "So you're looking for a way out of here?"

  "Hmm, if that's the case, then it would be even better. For example, when Red Cloak was in office, he often chose colleagues and deputies, so although they couldn't get the authority to lift the seal, at least they could gain some freedom. I had originally pinned my hopes on that lazybones, but it seems he's not reliable." Lijitai's face turned ugly again as she spoke, probably having hit a lot of snags with Hughes.

  "It's actually quite simple......" Panni curled her lips and scanned Linglong's figure up and down: "There seem to be many high-ranking male mages coming and going here every day."

  "Am I really so worthless in your eyes?" Lijitah snorted, "Just go find some old man to **? I'm not that cheap, and besides, I hate old men."

  "Hmm..." Panni suddenly realized that this female lawyer might have some psychological shadow towards old men due to certain relationships, and thinking of this made his expression even more bizarre. Had he encountered a ruthless killer who specialized in destroying young talents?

  "However, although I don't know if my promotion was special or had some other meaning to it, I really may not be able to help you, and also may not want to help you." Penny suddenly shrugged: "To be honest, after hearing about your past, I feel that you are very..."

  "What's the danger?" The female lawyer suddenly burst out laughing, laughing all the way until tears came out.

  "If I were you, maybe I wouldn't have spilled out those words just now." Penny thought for a moment, and then said another sentence.

  "It doesn't matter, I didn't expect much from your help anyway. Because I found that if the things that have been pent up in my heart can be poured out all at once and understood by others, it's also a relaxing and pleasant thing." Lijita sat up straight, rubbed her eyes, and said with a smile: "I still have to thank you."

  If Penny had received a beautiful thank you half a day ago, she would have been a little happy, but now he felt a cold wave blowing his brain nerve, and hurriedly raised his hands: "Forget it, just listening to what you said is enough, no need for thanks."

  "Oh, don't think too much about it." Lijita's icy fingers brushed against Penny's cheek: "No other meaning, and my intuition tells me that telling you the truth is probably more effective than lying to deceive you."

  "Intuition? You just believe in intuition?" Penny was speechless for a moment.

  "Maybe, just hoping you have a chance to think about it, whether or not you are willing to give me some help."

  "Actually, I wanted to ask you a question." Penny tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking again: "How did your husband die?"

  "Oh." The female lawyer didn't answer the question directly, but smiled: "Most of the time, fate won't give you too many choices. If you want to take a better path, you have to fight for it with your own strength. Otherwise, you'll just become a slave driven by survival instincts, right?"

  Penny shuddered and stiffened all over as the banner that had been waving with lust also fell.

  "Huh? What's wrong? It's okay, I know some ways to solve this problem." The female lawyer glanced at Penny's crotch and then slowly leaned her head over...
