Conquer the other worlds with abandon, they've fallen in love with me!

When Lin Yu left Bell's house, the sky had completely cleared up.

The sunlight after the rain was dazzling, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.

Lin Yu slowly walked back along the village road, but his mind was preoccupied with thoughts about Lilia.

The girl gave him her virginity and said she wanted to become stronger.

Lin Yu wasn't the type to deny his past actions, especially since the young girl had gone to such lengths to welcome him, even allowing him to leave mud in the road.

Lin Yu definitely needs to find a way to help Lilia.

I remember that in the game, Lilia was a "weak magic user," making it almost impossible for her to practice magic.

This is why she could only work as a receptionist at the front desk and could not become a real adventurer.

The Encyclopedia of Potions seems to record a special recipe that can improve magical affinity, called "Magic Conduit Potion".

Although the materials were not common, Lin Yu only knew the names of the places where these materials were located, and he didn't even know the way.

Fortunately, the quest chain for obtaining this recipe in the game is issued by Lilia herself as the guiding NPC, and she also leads the way to several of the material acquisition points.

It seems I'll have to go see Lilia again.

But before that, he had to go back to Arya's house.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yu quickened his pace.

I pushed open the door; the room was very quiet.

The heater was still burning, but the fire wasn't very big.

Arya was sitting on a stool by the table, wearing a coat and with her feet on another stool, barefoot and without socks.

Hearing the door open, she looked up and her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Yu. Then she quickly looked down again, twisting the hem of her coat with her fingers.

"You're back?" Her voice was a little hoarse.

"Hmm." Lin Yu closed the door, his gaze lingering on Arya's feet for a moment.

Upon discovering that her injuries had not healed, Lin Yu noticed that the bottle of healing potion he had asked Bell to bring back was still safely on the table, the cork still unopened.

"Why not use a magic potion?"

Arya followed Lin Yu's gaze to the medicine bottle and pursed her lips:

"When Miss Bell gave it to me, she only said...it was for me, without saying how to use it."

"I...I don't know whether to drink it or apply it, I'm afraid of wasting it if I use the wrong thing, so I wanted to wait for you to come back..." Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she had done something wrong.

Lin Yu walked over, picked up the medicine bottle, and uncorked it, releasing the familiar, fresh medicinal scent.

He glanced at Arya's somewhat bewildered face, then at her feet resting on the stool.

"Let me teach you how to use it," Lin Yu said with a smile.

Arya paused for a moment, then tried to stand up while holding onto the table.

"Sit still." Lin Yu dragged another stool over from the side, placed it opposite Arya, and sat down himself.

He then reached out and gently grasped her injured ankle, carefully lifting her foot and placing it on his folded legs.

Arya's body tensed instantly, and her toes curled up.

Her ankles were held in Lin Yu's warm palms, her feet resting on his lap. This position exposed her entire lower body to him, and her skirt rode up a bit because of this movement, revealing more of her skin.

"Mr. Lin Yu..." Arya blushed and tried to pull her foot back, but Lin Yu held it firmly.

"Don't move." Lin Yu's tone was calm. With his other hand, he picked up the medicine bottle, tilted it, and dripped the red liquid onto Arya's swollen ankle.

The medicine felt slightly cool to the touch. Lin Yu immediately placed his thumb on her ankle and gently spread the medicine evenly.

His movements were very gentle; his thumb, with just the right amount of pressure, slowly made circles, gradually infusing the medicine into the body.

"This healing potion can be taken internally or applied externally," Lin Yu explained in a low voice as he massaged the area.

"If the injury is severe, oral administration will have a faster effect and can affect the whole body."

For localized injuries like sprains or cuts, applying the medicine directly to the wound allows for concentrated penetration, resulting in better efficacy and greater cost-effectiveness.

Do you understand?

"Hmm..." Arya lowered her head, her voice barely audible.

But she wasn't really listening to what Lin Yu was saying; her attention was entirely focused on her ankle.

The warmth of Lin Yu's fingers emanated from there, making her feel very comfortable.

Lin Yu's massage pressure was just right; it caused some soreness but no pain.

The place where the medicine seeped in felt cool and refreshing, quickly dispelling the dull pain caused by the swelling.

But more than anything, it was the sensation of his fingers moving across her skin.

His thumb had thin calluses, which gave a slightly rough yet gentle feel when stroking the skin.

Arya could feel the shape of Lin Yu's knuckles and the lines on his palm.

Her gaze involuntarily moved upwards, landing on Lin Yu's lowered profile.

He was staring intently at her ankles; she had long eyelashes, a straight nose, and slightly pursed lips.

The morning light slanted in through the window, gilding his silhouette with a soft golden edge.

Arya's heart was beating a little fast, and her face was hot.

At this moment, the room was quiet, with only the faint crackling of the firewood in the stove and the soft sound of his fingers gently caressing her skin.

His feet steadily supported hers, his body heat seeping through the thin fabric of her trousers.

Arya suddenly wished that time could stand still here a little longer.

"Alright." Lin Yu's voice rang out, interrupting her reverie.

Arya snapped back to reality, her face burning even hotter.

She looked at her ankle, where the original bruises and swelling had completely disappeared, and the skin had returned to its normal color.

"How do you feel?" Lin Yu let go of her hand and gently placed her feet back on the stool.

Arya moved her ankle, finding it flexible and free of any pain.

"It doesn't hurt anymore... I'm completely healed." She looked up at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with undisguised surprise and gratitude.

"Thanks."

"Hmm." Lin Yu responded, stood up, put the cork back on the medicine bottle, and placed it on the table.

"I came back just to see you. Speaking of which, I have to go to town again."

"Shall we go now?" Arya stood up as well, her feet on the ground, and she indeed felt no strange sensation at all.

"Yeah, I have something to take care of." Lin Yu picked up his coat, which was placed by the door.

"Be careful on the road," Arya whispered.

Lin Yu nodded, placing his hand on the doorknob in preparation to push the door open.

Suddenly, he paused, turned around and looked at Arya.

Arya was still standing by the table, bathed in the morning light, her light-colored dress, her loose hair, and her bare feet on the wooden floor.

Her legs were long and shapely, her ankles were slender, and there was still a faint blush where he had just held her.

Lin Yu's gaze lingered on Arya's feet for a few seconds before he looked up at her face.

He had one hand in his pocket and the other on the doorknob, leaning slightly back against the door with a thoughtful expression.

"Miss Arya," he said, his voice neither too loud nor too soft.

"Hmm?" Arya felt a little uncomfortable under Lin Yu's gaze, and her fingers tugged at the hem of her clothes again.

"You said..." Lin Yu's lips seemed to curve slightly, a hint of amusement in his eyes:

"How about I buy you a pair of white stockings?"
