Turning his head back, Han Shuo glanced at Lisa and saw that her eyes were filled with incredulous surprise. However, when Lisa saw Han Shuo turn his head back, the surprise on her face suddenly turned to confusion. Her slender brows furrowed slightly as she warily sized up Han Shuo who had changed his appearance.
Lisa had grown up. This was the first impression that Han Shuo had when he turned his head back to look at her.
The unruly and willful little girl from back then had now grown into a slender, elegant, and graceful young lady. The tragedy that had befallen her family had made her much more mature, and taught her to be strong and diligent.
Looking at Lisa in front of him, Han Shuo's thoughts involuntarily returned to the past. He recalled the embarrassing time when he had first arrived in this world and pretended to be a ghost to scare Lisa. He recalled how Lisa had used him for necromancy magic experiments, and the trace of a smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
Lisa, who had been looking suspiciously at Han Shuo, suddenly had her eyes light up. She said excitedly, "Brian, is that you?"
"It's not me!" Han Shuo answered reflexively without a second thought. Han Shuo immediately realized that the words were inappropriate as soon as they left his mouth. He shook his head with a wry smile.
Surprise flashed through her eyes and was soon replaced by sadness. Lisa just stared blankly at Han Shuo, her gaze stubborn and resentful. Tears had filled her eyes at some point, as if they would fall at any moment.
"Sigh …" Han Shuo sighed softly as they looked at each other for a few seconds. He smiled wryly, "How did you recognize me?"
When Han Shuo's words left his mouth, the tears that had been swirling in Lisa's eyes finally rolled down her smooth cheeks. The moment her eyeballs rolled down, the stubborn Lisa suddenly softened. She burst into tears and rushed into Han Shuo's arms in a split second. She used all the strength in her body to hug Han Shuo tightly, as if she was deathly afraid that Han Shuo would disappear from her sight.
"You're back … You're finally back. Do you know how worried I was? When I heard that you were killed by the Church of Light, do you know how much pain I felt in my heart? "Lisa said in a choked voice as she hugged Han Shuo tightly. She appeared very helpless and desolate.
Lisa's body trembled in his arms. Han Shuo's heart softened as he listened to her emotional cries. From her words, Han Shuo could hear the deep feelings Lisa had for him. It was a kind of unswerving conviction that he could not do without.
"Why are you doing this?" Sighing softly, Han Shuo's heart was filled with sourness. He really did not understand why Lisa was so insistent. All this while, Han Shuo had thought that Lisa's feelings for him were just youthful fooling around that would naturally be forgotten with the passage of time. He really did not expect Lisa to have such deep feelings for him.
"Only when I'm with you can I feel happy. Apart from you, no one else can give me that kind of feeling. Brian, I beg you, I beg you, don't be so heartless, okay? "Lisa's eyes were filled with tears as she tightly grabbed onto Han Shuo's chest, helplessly pleading.
"Ai …" Sighing again, Han Shuo's heart softened. He completely forgot his promise to Phoebe and the others. Looking at Lisa's tearful appearance, he unconsciously nodded.
An ecstatic expression suddenly blossomed on Lisa's tear-stained face. She fiercely hugged Han Shuo, hugging him tighter and tighter, as if she wanted to melt herself into Han Shuo's body.
Sensing Lisa's all-out strength, Han Shuo seemed to feel the heaviness of Lisa's emotions. He moved his mouth close to Lisa's ear and said softly, "Alright, alright, don't cry. If others see this, they'll think that I'm bullying you."
"You've always been bullying me, and for many years …" Lisa could not hold back her emotions anymore after venting. She began to sob and complain in Han Shuo's chest, as if she wanted to release all the hidden bitterness that had been bottled up in her heart for many years at once.
Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, no longer trying to persuade Lisa to stop crying. From her agitated emotions, Han Shuo knew that these words had been bottled up in her heart for more than a year or two. Now that she had finally found a chance, how could Lisa be willing to give it up?
Han Shuo was clear in his heart that if she did not speak those words clearly, the words that had been bottled up in her heart would be harmful to her body and cultivation. Only by venting them all would she be able to completely walk out of the pain and regain a healthy and stable state of mind.
Therefore, Han Shuo did not try to persuade her. He only lightly patted Lisa's fragrant shoulder and patiently listened to her tearful complaints mixed with hidden bitterness and depression. He did not interject a single word, quietly feeling Lisa's deep feelings for him that were as deep as the sea.
After a long, long time, Lisa's bitter cries gradually stopped. After a while, when her delicate body no longer trembled, Han Shuo asked with some doubt, "How did you recognize me so quickly?"
Glaring resentfully at Han Shuo, Lisa cutely wrinkled her nose. "When you had your back to me to size up your sculpture, you did not deliberately conceal your aura. I am all too familiar with you. Your back, your aura, and the naughtiness in your eyes. Your transformation may be able to deceive others, but not me! "Lisa said with great confidence.
Han Shuo's heart was indescribably moved by her words. After so many years, Lisa was actually able to recognize him at a glance from his back. This was sufficient proof of how deep her feelings for him were.
However, at the same time, Han Shuo was also on guard. He knew that because he had just entered the Nine Changes realm, his grasp of the transformations of the Nine Changes realm was not profound enough. Otherwise, Lisa would not have been able to recognize him so easily.
"You don't look good like this. What's wrong?" Lisa panicked when she saw that Han Shuo was not speaking. She hastily asked, "Have you been disfigured by someone? How did you become so ugly?"
Han Shuo smiled bitterly and shook his head. Under Lisa's gaze, the skin on Han Shuo's cheeks rippled like water. Before Lisa could cry out in surprise, Han Shuo had reverted to his original appearance.
"So, so miraculous!" Lisa finally cried out in surprise. Her face was full of disbelief.
With a faint smile, Han Shuo held Lisa's little hand and looked at Lisa, who had turned into a beautiful young lady. With a movement of his consciousness, he clearly sensed the strength of Lisa's mental strength. Then, he softly praised, "Not bad. I didn't expect you to become an adept magician. This kind of progress is truly astonishing!"
"Of course not. Compared to Master Fanny and the others, I'm still far behind!" Lisa chuckled happily when she heard Han Shuo's praise. However, she did not show any arrogance. It seemed that she had indeed matured a lot.
"They have more or less accepted my help. You have reached your current strength without borrowing any external help. It is truly amazing!" Han Shuo shook his head and once again affirmed Lisa's hard work.
The reason why Phoebe and the other two girls could improve so quickly was because of Han Shuo's help. Otherwise, even if the three girls had extraordinary aptitudes, they would not have been able to reach their current heights in such a short time.
"Hehe, that's because I'm afraid of being left far behind by you. I'm afraid that you will look down on me. However, it seems that no matter how hard I work, I will still not be able to catch up to you!" Lisa rubbed her little nose in embarrassment and spoke her mind to Han Shuo.
"Close your eyes and calm your mind," Han Shuo suddenly said softly as a thought occurred to him.
Lisa trusted Han Shuo unreservedly. Although she did not know what Han Shuo was going to do, she still followed Han Shuo's instructions and closed her eyes. However, she could not calm her mind no matter what. She could not help but think of some places that she did not dare to think of.
Han Shuo held Lisa's little hand as the two leaned lightly against each other. They could smell each other's scent. Lisa was no longer a little girl. She had an expression as vast as the ocean when she looked at Han Shuo. Her nose and mouth were filled with the manly scent of Han Shuo. Her heart became more and more chaotic, filled with both anticipation and nervousness.
Han Shuo could not help but laugh when he sensed Lisa's chaotic state of mind and saw her flushed cheeks and rapid breathing. He lightly tapped her forehead with his finger and said amusedly, "What nonsense are you thinking about? I'm only preparing to pass on some of my insights regarding necromancy magic to you. I have no intention of doing anything bad to you. Calm your mind for me. "
"Who, who's having wild thoughts!" Lisa was greatly embarrassed and hastily quibbled. However, she was somewhat disappointed in her heart.
"Alright, alright. I don't care what you were thinking about just now. In short, calm down for me." How could Han Shuo not know of Lisa's embarrassment? He felt as though she had returned to the past at this moment and became that adorable yet hateful little witch. For some unknown reason, Han Shuo was in a very good mood.
After hearing Han Shuo's words, Lisa finally calmed down. She closed her eyes and threw the distracting thoughts out of her mind. Her breathing gradually stabilized.
When Han Shuo, who had been watching Lisa attentively, saw that she had adjusted her soul to an optimal state, he extended a finger and pressed it between her eyebrows. His consciousness was like thousands of fine threads, slowly entangling Lisa's soul.
This was not the first time Han Shuo had done something like this. He had become more and more adept at it after reaching the Nine Changes realm. His consciousness was like tubes that formed a connection with Lisa's soul. Han Shuo slowly transmitted some of his insights regarding necromancy magic before he became a sacred magus into Lisa's mind.
Because Lisa was only an adept magus, her soul wasn't strong enough. Therefore, the transmission process was somewhat slow. Han Shuo was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it. He was extremely careful, ensuring that there wouldn't be the slightest bit of danger in the process.
Gradually, Lisa completely relaxed. Her soul was completely under Han Shuo's control. This was a sign that she had full trust in Han Shuo. With this, the transmission of memories was obviously much faster. Han Shuo's heart was filled with gratitude, but he was even more careful.
The two stood there for about half an hour. There were people passing by in between, but Han Shuo used a boundary to block their line of sight.
Gently withdrawing his hand, Han Shuo smiled faintly and said in a gentle voice, "Alright, you can open your eyes now!"
Lisa's bright eyes slowly opened. Her eyes were filled with incredulous surprise. She took a deep breath and suddenly realized, "So this is the reason why Master Fanny became a grand magus so quickly. I finally understand! Brian, you heartless fellow. You've never helped me before! "
Han Shuo smiled wryly and guaranteed, "I will treat everyone equally in the future!"
