Chapter 199 The Villain Lady Arrives 27
In a distant alien world, a young man named Yun Che was curled up in a dim cave, surrounded by cold stone walls, and the air was filled with damp and moldy smells.
His face was pale, and his clothes were stained with blood, which showed that he had been seriously injured. At this moment, he was on the run, with enemies chasing him from behind and an unknown fate ahead.
"I must recover my strength as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Yun Che was secretly anxious, but the pain and fatigue in his body made it almost impossible for him to move. At this moment, the Chi Mengzi system on his wrist suddenly flashed, interrupting his thoughts.
"System update, new items found in the warehouse." The system's prompt sounded in his mind, with a hint of mechanical indifference. Yun Che suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
He immediately opened the system mall and saw that there were several new items on the originally empty shelves.
His eyes quickly scanned the goods, finally settling on a bottle of healing potion called "Fountain of Life".
This bottle of medicine was emerald green, as crystal clear as morning dew, and it exuded a faint herbal fragrance that lifted one's spirits. More importantly, its price was exactly what he could afford at the moment - 20 points.
"That's it!"
Yun Che gritted his teeth and decided, clicking the purchase button without hesitation. With a flash of light, the bottle of healing potion appeared in his hand. With trembling hands, he carefully opened the bottle cap, and a strong breath of life instantly spread out, as if it could dispel all pain and fatigue.
Without any hesitation, Yun Che raised his head and drank the entire bottle of medicine. As soon as the medicine entered his mouth, a sense of coolness instantly surged through his body, as if countless tiny points of light were wandering in his body, repairing every damaged cell and tissue. The pain and fatigue quickly subsided, replaced by unprecedented vitality and strength.
"This... is this the power of the Fountain of Life?" Yun Che felt the changes in his body, his eyes full of disbelief and surprise. He stood up and stretched his muscles, only to feel his whole body relaxed, as if he had been reborn.
“Thanks to the system,” Yun Che thought to himself, otherwise he really wouldn’t be able to escape this time.
The sunlight shines through the old windows of the college, dappling on the bluestone road, adding a touch of warmth and mystery to this day of adventure that is about to begin. Alice stands on the balcony of the dormitory, with the breeze blowing gently, her golden hair dancing in the wind, and her eyes sparkling with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.
For her, this month's vacation was a perfect opportunity to escape from books and magic practice. She planned to live a carefree and unrestrained life, and adventure was undoubtedly the perfect choice.
"Tariq, you know what? I've been very lucky lately, always picking up some strange treasures!" Alice turned around and shouted excitedly to Tariq, who was buried in a magic book. Her voice was clear and pleasant, as if it could dispel all the dullness in the room.
Tariq looked up, his eyes behind his glasses flashing with tenderness, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
"Oh? Really? Then it seems that our Miss Alice is going to become a treasure hunting master." There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but more of it was endless pampering for Alice.
"So, I want to invite you to go on an adventure with me! Just the two of us, how about it?" There seemed to be stars twinkling in Alice's eyes, looking forward to Tariq's answer.
Tariq put down the book in his hand without hesitation, stood up, patted his chest, and said confidently: "Of course, Alice, I will be with you no matter where you go." His eyes were firm and gentle, as if the whole world was moved.
However, Alice's mind was not entirely on Tariq. She hesitated for a moment and continued, "In fact, I also want the Third Prince to join us. He is surrounded by many experts and has the protection of the Knights. This way our safety will be better guaranteed."
Tariq's smile froze instantly, his expression changed slightly, but he soon returned to normal. "Alice, you know, the Third Prince...he treats you..." His words were full of jealousy, but more of it was concern for Alice's safety.
Alice saw Tariq's concerns, she gently held his hand and said softly:
"Tariq, I know what you are worried about. But the Third Prince is also my friend, and his joining will make this expedition more interesting. Don't worry, my heart belongs only to you."
Tariq looked at Alice's sincere eyes, and the jealousy in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a more resolute determination. "Okay, Alice, but you have to promise me that you must be careful." He compromised, but the uneasiness in his heart was not completely eliminated.
Seeing that Tariq agreed, Alice thought of another friend.
"By the way, I also want to invite Luna to go with us. She has also been fascinated by adventures recently. With her joining us, our journey will definitely not be boring."
When Tariq heard Luna's name, his expression softened a lot.
"Luna, she is indeed a good partner. Let's make it a deal then." He nodded in agreement, but secretly thought about how to protect Alice during the expedition and not let anyone take advantage of her.
The day of departure finally arrived. The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry. Alice, Tariq and Luna gathered at the entrance of the academy and were about to set off when they unexpectedly saw the figure of the third prince. He walked slowly with a magician and a knight. His temperament and style were impossible to ignore.
Tariq's face turned ugly in an instant, but he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and stepped forward to salute.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, why are you here?" He tried to keep his tone calm, but his displeasure was hard to conceal.
The third prince smiled slightly and his eyes fell gently on Alice.
"I heard that you were going on an adventure. How could you leave me behind? Besides, Alice's safety is my responsibility." His words were filled with unquestionable firmness, which made Tariq feel even more pressured.
Seeing this, Alice quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Your Highness, it's great that you can come! With you here, our adventure will definitely be more exciting." She smiled brightly, her eyes full of gratitude and welcome to the Third Prince.
The third prince looked at Alice lovingly and patted her head gently.
"Little fool, I'm willing to do anything as long as you're happy." His eyes were full of tenderness and doting, making everyone present feel the deep affection.
Tariq felt bad watching this, but he knew now was not the time to dwell on it. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then turned to Luna.
"Luna, let's go." There was a barely perceptible determination in his words.
Luna smiled and nodded. She had seen through Tariq's thoughts, but she didn't say much. She knew that Tariq's feelings for Alice were pure, and she was willing to be a bridge between them.
The group embarked on an adventure. They passed through deep forests and crossed turbulent rivers. Every step was full of unknowns and challenges. But it was these unknowns and challenges that made their relationship closer and their youth more colorful.
During the adventure, Alice always discovers treasures that others don't notice with her keen intuition and good luck.
