The First Store System-Chapter 463

Chapter 463: Lily’s Surprise!

The customer looked interested in Panagea and the training area the most. He wanted to check out Panagea first, but the store owner responded with something out of his expectations. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

“There is around half an hour left before the sunset, so entering Panagea and the training area isn’t possible for now. If you want to enter either one of them, you need to enter tomorrow,” Aakesh expressionlessly told the customer after he asked about Panagea. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

“Eh!” The customer couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, hearing the store owner’s answer.

“Can’t you extend the store for another half an hour? I’ll pay you double the amount,” The customer then requested and attempted to persuade the store owner to allow him to enter.

As for forcing his way, that idea never came to his mind. He wouldn’t have lived this long if he couldn’t sense the power gap between others and him.

“No!” Aakesh bluntly refused.

The customer wanted to convince the store owner again, but his words abruptly stopped. His eyes fell on a white door made up of unrecognizable wood suddenly appearing out of nowhere inside the store. It was floating in the air.

The next moment, stairs started appearing and connected the door to the hardwood floor.

“Click!’

A clicking sound rang inside the store as the door opened, and soon, a cat that was smaller than even the customer’s palm stepped out.

***

Lily, who had been restricting herself from returning to the store to show Aakesh how angry she was for him not taking her to the mission, couldn’t control herself and finally exited the portal. She wanted to check on whether Aakesh had received severe injuries or not.

She didn’t worry that Aakesh had died since if he died, she would’ve felt it, and the Panagea would have also disappeared since, without Aakesh, there was no point in the store product existing.

When she stepped out of the door, a surprised expression appeared in her eyes, seeing the amount of change Aakesh had gone through in one day.

Her eyes shined in admiration since Aakesh looked better than before.

Her eyes then fell on the bun on Aakesh’s head. The next moment, she jumped from the stairs and appeared on his bun, and started squirming on it to make a comfortable posture.

Aakesh could only smile wryly, feeling Lily squirming on his head.

“Do you feel comfortable?” Aakesh asked after Lily finally stopped as if she was the one who went on the mission.

“I am not talking to you,” Lily replied.

“What breed of cat is this?” The customer chimed in and asked. He had seen white cats, but Lily in front of him looked different despite having the same appearance.

“I am not a cat,” Aakesh didn’t respond, but Lily did as she didn’t like people calling her a cat, despite being the ancestor of the feline races like tigers and cats.

“You can check Emperor-grade weapons,” Aakesh ignored both Lily and the customer’s response and told him.

Since the customer could neither enter Panagea nor the training area, only the pills and weapons were left for him. Weapons seemed to win against pills in front of a cultivator, so Aakesh suggested it.

The customer nodded and went to the weapons room since he couldn’t just stand there and listen to the store owner and his pet talking.

“Did you receive any injury?” Lily asked after the customer left for the weapons room.

“Just a moment earlier, I heard that you aren’t talking to me,” Aakesh joked.

“Ouch!”

Lily didn’t speak anything in response but hit Aakesh’s head. Aakesh didn’t feel a thing. It was Lily who cried out in pain. She felt like she had hit a wall of iron.

“Ugh, How strong have you become?” Lily groaning in pain, asked Aakesh.

“Very strong,” Aakesh smilingly responded. “Let me show you the skill I got as the reward,” He further added.

“Is it an offensive skill or support like your last few rewards?” Lily asked. She has heard Aakesh complaining a lot considering this, so she also had an interest in knowing the type of the skill.

“Offensive,” Aakesh answered. He then turned his hands around, the palm facing the roof.

“Your complaints finally worked,” Lily replied and then focused on Aakesh’s palm.

The next moment, energy started gathering on Aakesh’s palms. It was dark in color. At first, it was very small, but in no time, its size even crossed Lily’s size.

“What would happen if I threw my Epochal fireball at it?” Lily suddenly asked as the question arose in her heart.

“You can test it,” Aakesh smilingly responded.

The next moment,? Lily raised one of her hands as an active orange flame appeared on the tip of her claws. She then threw it on Aakesh’s palms.

If it were before today, Lili would’ve worried about causing an injury to Aakesh since both had an equal level of strength, but now that she had seen Aakesh’s growth, she didn’t have to worry about it. Even her full power attack wouldn’t be able to land a scratch on Aakesh, let alone cause an injury.

The Apocalyptic energy ball stopped growing on Aakesh’s palms as he stopped providing any more energy to it.

The next moment, the orange flame clashed with the energy ball.

In front of Aakesh and Lily, the Apocalyptic energy ball devoured Lily’s Epochal flame as if it were nothing.

“Ugh!” Lily groaned in pain as a headache attacked him after the sudden devour of her flame.

“Damn, you already have a strong body, but now even such skill,” Lily jealously commented, seeing the strength of Aakesh’s skill.

At the same time, she also felt happy as the stronger Aakesh became, the more secure he would be from any harm.

“Did you completely exterminate the organization behind the intrusions?” Lily asked after Aakesh deactivated the skill and the energy ball disappeared.

“Only the organization…,” Aakesh then told Lily about the events of his hunt from the start.

“This system is bullshit. How can it let the bug exist when it can create serious trouble for you?” Lily cursed the system after hearing about the three-second bug.

[Host, should I teach Lily a lesson for cursing the system?]

The next moment, the system’s voice rang inside the store so that Lily could also hear it. If not for the emotionless tone, Aakesh would’ve thought that the system was joking with Lily.
