Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 2704: Leilany
"The spiritual energy here is quite good. Though it doesn’t compare to the cultivation chamber at the County Governor’s Mansion in Nine Nether County, it’s still better than many other places... Let’s cultivate here for now. Once I’ve achieved a breakthrough, I will see if I can leave this illusion smoothly!"
With that thought, Wyatt Barnes didn’t care which scene of the illusion he was in. He immediately sat cross-legged in mid-air, closed his eyes, and began cultivating.
In his hand, an Immortal Stone appeared, and he also swallowed a Pill Medicine.
Crystal Clear Profound Secret!
Inside Wyatt Barnes, the spiritual energy from the world around him flowed rapidly through his ninety-nine Heavenly Veins, circulating through one Great Cycle after another, finally transforming into Immortal Origin Force within him.
His cultivation level was also increasing every moment.
"With my current level... it won’t take long to successfully break through to become a ’Blue Sun Golden Immortal’."
In nearly a year since he left Nine Nether County, after taking the low-grade Immortal Pill ’Gold Pill’, achieving the ’Green Day Golden Immortal’, his cultivation further advanced to the ’Cyan Sun Golden Immortal’.
Of course, the reason for such a rapid breakthrough was not just due to his diligent cultivation, but also largely thanks to the Gold Pill.
The Gold Pill not only helped him achieve Green Day Golden Immortal but further pushed his cultivation ahead, bringing him closer to the Cyan Sun Golden Immortal level.
However, since this place was unfamiliar, even though Wyatt Barnes was immersed in cultivation, he remained vigilant.
If any disturbance occurred around him, he would awaken instantly.
Within the illusion Wyatt Barnes was in, the scene would change every few days...
A fortnight later.
The scene paused in ruins bathed in moonlight.
Among the ruins, remnants of houses could be seen everywhere, and behind these remnants stood tombstones, some upright, some tilted, yet they all shared one common feature:
None of these tombstones had any inscriptions on them.
This moonlit ruin, after appearing for several days, did not transition into another scene.
Even in the following month, the scene remained unchanged.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept through the ruins, stirring up clouds of dust.
As the breeze passed, a snow-white figure, like a specter, drifted gracefully into view before the purple-clad figure sitting cross-legged above the ruins.
With eyes like Autumn Water, she meticulously observed Wyatt Barnes who was deeply immersed in cultivation.
Although Wyatt Barnes wasn’t entirely absorbed in his cultivation, he seemed entirely unaware of the ghostly figure that appeared before him.
It was as if he hadn’t noticed the appearance of the figure at all.
And indeed, that was the case.
If Wyatt Barnes had detected the figure, he would have instantly awakened from his cultivation, alert and on guard.
Time quietly slipped by.
Wyatt Barnes continued cultivating.
The spectral white figure stood motionlessly before him, examining Wyatt Barnes as if a white statue.
It’s unknown how long it had been before Wyatt Barnes found himself just a step away from being a ’Blue Sun Golden Immortal’.
Yet, this step was difficult to cross.
"I’ve hit a ’bottleneck’."
Sighing inwardly, Wyatt Barnes’ consciousness returned, stretching his arms and taking a deep breath before slowly opening his eyes.
Swish!
As soon as Wyatt Barnes opened his eyes, his expression changed dramatically.
Because he saw a white figure standing in front of him, and this figure gave him an extremely unreal feeling.
Like a lonely soul wandering in the wilderness.
"You... who are you?"
Narrowing his eyes suddenly, Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath, scrutinizing the white figure that gave him such an incredible sense of unreality.
At that moment, under the bright moonlight above the ruins, Wyatt Barnes finally saw the white figure clearly.
As he discerned the figure’s appearance, Wyatt Barnes’ tensed pupils relaxed, and a flash of unparalleled amazement flickered in his eyes.
As if he had seen a goddess alighting into the mortal realm!
The white figure was a slender silhouette, bathed in the lustrous moonlight, illuminating her face, allowing Wyatt Barnes to completely see her.
She possessed an enchanting figure and a face of unmatched beauty, the likes of which Wyatt Barnes had rarely encountered in his life.
Before today, Wyatt Barnes could hardly have imagined that such a peerlessly beautiful woman could exist in this world...
The woman wore a thin, white garment, her exquisite cheeks seemed sculpted by the most talented craftsman who collected all beautiful traits to create her.
At least, the moment Wyatt Barnes’ eyes landed on her face, they could no longer look away.
Wyatt Barnes had seen numerous women in the past, many with perfect beauty, each with different qualities and giving different feelings.
Yet in the past, Wyatt had never seen a woman like the one before him.
The woman in white, though possessing perfect beauty, had a subtle allure that also contradictorily conveyed purity, as if untouched by the world.
Like a young girl just grown up, stepping out of seclusion.
"Too perfect... How can such a perfect woman exist in this world..."
Even if Wyatt Barnes was as calm as a still pond, intending no more entanglements with other women, when gazing at the woman in white, his heart, akin to a meditating monk’s, couldn’t help but stir a few times.
Moments later, his restless heart finally calmed down under the interference of his strong will.
It was an instinctive impulse from a man, not a deliberate act by Wyatt.
"If she steps outside... who knows how many men will be enchanted by her, driven to madness for her..."
Wyatt Barnes could imagine:
Once this woman in white leaves here, she will surely cause a bloody storm.
Because as long as they are normal men, they will find it hard to resist her charm, and those who can’t fully control themselves will naturally want to possess her.
"An enchantress... a world-class enchantress..."
The phrase ’world-class enchantress’ gradually emerged in Wyatt Barnes’ mind.
"Who are you?"
Under Wyatt Barnes’ gaze, the woman in white slightly moved her perfect autumn eyes and then slowly spoke.
The moment her voice was heard, Wyatt Barnes found it hard to resist a wave of tenderness throughout his body.
The woman is beautiful, and her voice is beautiful too.
"Wyatt Barnes."
After taking a deep breath once more, Wyatt Barnes forced himself to calm down before revealing his name.
"And you?"
Wyatt Barnes asked.
"Me?"
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ query, the woman in white pondered for a moment before a faint curve formed at the corner of her mouth, "Since my birth, my mother called me ’Leilany’... you, too, can call me Leilany just like my mother does."
"Leilany."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, then asked again, "Where is your mother?"
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Leilany bowed her head and sighed, "Mother left a long time ago... She told me to wait here for someone to come and take me away. She said that as long as it was the first person who came here after she left and didn’t make me dislike them, that person could take me away."
"I waited and waited... and finally, you came."
As she spoke, Leilany looked at Wyatt Barnes, her eyes gleaming with genuine joy.
"Mother told me that the outside world is very fun... But she never took me outside. Later, she left, and because of what she told me before leaving, I didn’t dare to leave here alone. If I left alone and mother found out, she would surely be very angry."
"Mother’s anger... is terrifying..."
As she spoke, seemingly recalling something, a hint of dread crossed Leilany’s innocent and criminally attractive face.
"According to your mother’s wishes... anyone who appears here after her and doesn’t make you dislike them can take you away?"
Wyatt Barnes was startled.
"Is it possible... that no one else came here before me?"
Wyatt Barnes asked again.
"Yes."
Leilany nodded, and then her perfect autumn eyes landed on the nameless tombstones amid the ruins.
"Each tombstone there represents someone who came here... Among them, there were women like Leilany, and men my mother told me about like you."
"One woman, eight men... that woman looked at Leilany with a gaze my mother called ’jealousy.’ That kind of gaze made Leilany dislike her, so Leilany killed her."
As Leilany spoke, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but smile wryly.
With a woman as perfect as Leilany, besides a few who are confident in themselves, probably few women would not be jealous, right?
"As for the eight men... their gaze upon Leilany made her detest them, so Leilany killed them the moment they laid eyes on her."
Leilany continued.
Throughout, Leilany spoke of her acts of murder as if recounting trivial matters.
"Only your gaze on Leilany is pure and untainted, which Leilany does not dislike... So, you are the one my mother said could take Leilany away. Take Leilany out so she can see the outside world; mother said the outside world is exciting and fun."
Leilany now resembled a mischievous child eager to explore.
