Warhammer Fantasy: I Have Total War System

"This Wei Qiankun has both ability and power, so he can come directly at me."

Li Lin's voice echoed in the hall, carrying a long-suppressed anger.

"But he repeatedly used other people's lives to kill others."

"Attacked a false target, dragged the entire coalition into a desperate situation. I can already imagine his ugly face afterward, trying to steal the credit and suppress my reputation."

"They colluded with dismissed officers, withheld civilian rations, and used the lives of thousands of people to set a trap, all to lure me to the manor."

He took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.

"I have never seen the Moon Goddess do good deeds, but I have only seen her maids and their descendants instructing the soldiers in the Moon Goddess's palace to use her magical artifacts to do dirty and shameless things."

"If we don't kill this kind of person, then what—?"

He forced himself to stop.

There's no point in barking incompetently here. We should save our energy for figuring out how to kill Wei Qiankun and how to safely bring the allied forces back to Nangao.

Yi Ge said nothing and walked straight up to him.

Just as Li Lin was about to draw his sword, a sudden system notification appeared before him without warning:

[Yi Ge, Alchemist, Loyalty +50]

Huh? What is that?

Li Lin was stunned.

The enemy's loyalty soared from 20 to 70, reaching a level even higher than before the Battle of Stone Fortress.

In that moment of distraction, Yi Ge bent down.

She chose to express her true feelings through actions rather than words.

Li Lin felt a peck on his lips.

He took a step back in a daze, only to be caught up and pecked again.

Yi Ge's kisses were light, sometimes landing on his lips, sometimes on the corners of his mouth.

The sorceress had a strong, resinous, milky scent emanating from her lips and teeth, which was strange as she couldn't usually smell it.

By the time Li Lin came to his senses, Yi Ge had already straightened up and was slowly tidying up his messy hair.

"Did you know there's a bathhouse in the Dragon Palace?" she asked softly.

"Huh? What?" Li Lin's mind didn't quite process it.

Yi Ge pulled a clump of loose hair, sweat, and dust stuck together from his hair.

"You look filthy and smelly, how can you go out in public like this?"

She moved closer and tucked Li Lin's bangs behind his ear, and Li Lin could see his reflection in her shimmering pupils.

Strange, these are indeed human eyes.

"You must always appear confident of victory. Humans only follow the strong and the victors; it's human nature, even if the victory is fabricated."

After saying that, she took Li Lin's hand and, with a harmless force, pulled the dazed Li Lin to one side of the hall without saying a word.

She pressed a few times on a certain pattern, and a flash of dark golden light appeared at her fingertips. A seemingly seamless wall panel slowly sank in, revealing a warm stone staircase that extended downwards.

If I remember correctly, there should have been a bedside table belonging to Wu Tamei here.

The moment the passage opened, a faint smell of sulfur mixed with the unique crispness of some mineral wafted over.

Li Lin repeatedly confirmed through his Dragon Palace perception and system vision that the area within this passage had never appeared on his map before!

There are places in the Dragon Palace that he has no idea about!

He followed Yi Ge down the path.

A loyalty level of 60 is already quite high. She shouldn't harm herself, nor would she go to the point of being a yandere, locking herself up and possessing someone entirely.

At the end of the stone steps, the view suddenly opened up.

It is an extremely luxurious bathhouse.

In the center of the bath is a main pool about a hundred paces long and wide. The water in the pool has a strange color of milky white and green. Steam rises from the surface of the water and is illuminated by the luminous pearls embedded in the edge of the pool, making it look like a flowing veil.

The bottom is made of four polished mirror-like surfaces made of green jade, black jade, purple jade, and red jade.

"You..." Li Lin's mouth gaped open as he walked inside. "You used to take a bath here?"

You bastard Yi Ge!

You're keeping good stuff to yourself and not telling me, aren't you?

They claimed there was a restriction on this room and pretended to break it for a long time, but they had already come in and enjoyed it!

Your loyalty level seemed to be around 50 back then!

Is this level of loyalty reliable?

There was more than one host; on each side of the bathhouse, there was a private chamber separated by gauze curtains, each containing a large soft couch and a dressing table.

The dressing table was piled high with bottles and jars, including rouge and face powder, jade combs and silver mirrors, dried flower petals, and perfumes of various colors.

Dozens of yukatas stood neatly on a rack on one side, mostly in light pink, moon white, and pale yellow, with delicate lotus scroll patterns embroidered on the collars and cuffs.

Deep inside are sauna rooms constructed with flint and array formations.

Next to the sauna was a massage therapy room, with a low bed covered with thick white fox fur, and massage rollers and ointments scattered around.

Li Lin walked into a side chamber and picked up a piece of clothing to caress it.

The scent of a woman.

Fragments of memory surfaced in his mind.

These should be the belongings of Wu Tamei and her maid.

Damn it, those women are still chasing me.

While Li Lin was lost in thought, Yi Ge had already walked to the marble platform at the edge of the main pool.

Without any affectation, she unbuttoned her dress, scooped up a ladle of warm pool water, and washed herself clean from head to toe.

Then slowly step into the steaming pool.

A thin mist rose automatically from the pool water, and even Li Lin inside the bedroom could feel a rich spiritual energy surrounding him.

"This pool of water is the Earth Marrow Spirit Liquid produced by the Dragon Palace. It can restore the life force lost by sorcerers when casting spells, and can accelerate the healing of hidden injuries and the cultivation of internal energy for martial artists."

She lay languidly in the pool, her body turned to the side.

The main pool is divided into two areas, high and low, seemingly designed specifically for people of Yi Ge's physique.

"Come here, now you can ask me any questions."

Li Lin came out, glanced at Yi Ge, and then turned and walked back.

"Let me change my clothes," he said curtly.

Holy crap.

Isn't this a bit too drastic?

Just minutes ago, he thought he was going to kill Yi Ge, or be blown into the sky by Yi Ge.

Now I feel that if I just take the initiative, I might be able to lose my virginity!

Li Lin paced back and forth, restless. After all, it was Xiao Chunan; even when the food was right in front of him, he didn't know how to swallow it.

Just as he was about to explode in desperation, several unrelated images suddenly flashed through his mind.

Before the military council after the war, when he left the camp in a thunderous sedan chair, a large number of people knelt on both sides of the road.

The rough knuckles of Commander Yu's fingers as he patted his shoulder were the two lines of blood that General Zhao had left on his blindfold—

"They've all knelt before me, at least send them back to Nangao."

He remembered what he had said.

Then I remembered the current predicament: we're surrounded by wolves in front, tigers behind, and a traitor in the middle.

"Not yet."

His agitation suddenly subsided.

It's not a male dysfunction, but rather a feeling that reason has triumphed over material desires, and the big head has taken control of the small head.

Once the allied forces are brought back to Nangao and Nanli is reclaimed, find Li Suguang and let his father take care of the rest.

He can sit down and enjoy himself, spending his days in brothels and staying out all night; it's not too late.

But not now.

As long as he still bears the responsibility of being the commander-in-chief, it is not the time for him to enjoy himself.

Li Lin took a deep breath, took off his outer robe, went to the water's edge, scooped water and washed himself thoroughly three times from head to toe, not even sparing the blood and dirt under his fingernails, before entering the pool and leaning against Yi Ge.

The Earth Marrow Elixir is warm and thick; soaking in it feels like being massaged by countless warm hands, with the nourishing magic power constantly penetrating the body.

Yi Ge looked down and smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

She playfully splashed some water at Li Lin, then leaned forward and knelt in the water like a snake, slowly crawling towards him.

"stop!"

Li Lin stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture.

"I'm not in the mood to do this right now."

"Tch." Yi Ge scoffed and lay back down. "You might as well take your yang energy back to the underworld."

Why does it feel like someone has said something similar to me?

After a moment's hesitation, Li Lin asked the question that he most wanted to know: "Who are you?"

Yi Ge tilted her head slightly, and pool water slid down her ear.

"And who are you?" she asked in a meaningful tone.

Li Lin's pupils contracted sharply. Despite being in warm, scalding water, he felt a chill creep up his spine.

She... figured it out?!
