Level Up in Earth Evolution

"Miss Irene, please don't say such misunderstanding things; I just came to wake you up," Li Wei explained hurriedly as he felt the glares of Alice and others.

But Irene, who was still sleepy and mad about him stealing her fluffy pillow, didn't notice them.

"Brother Wei, what misunderstanding are you talking about? You invaded the room of an innocent priestess just to steal her cute fluffy pillow to sleep with her. I don't think there is even a need to say anything here," Irene retorted with a pout as she glared at Li Wei with cute, happy eyes, making him speechless.

'Why does everybody think they can joke with me? Is it because I am not a bad guy?' Li Wei thought with a sigh as he looked at Irene, who was still lying on the bed with sleepiness.

"Miss Irene, I came here to wake you up because it's already breakfast time, and I am not stealing your pillow to change places. It's just that I wanted you to wake up faster, and with how comfortable you are sleeping, holding the pillow, I thought it is the best way to wake you up without touching you," Li Wei explained with a calm look.

But when he heard Irene's words, he became dumbfounded.

"Brother Wei, I don't care if you touch me or not, but you can't steal my pillow; it's mine. I brought it with me," Irene stated with a sulky look as she tightened the grip on her pillow, fearing he might steal it.

"I think you are caring for the wrong thing here. Also, please wake up and get ready because some people are finding your act interesting," he replied, pointing at Li Xin and others who were observing everything while glaring at him.

Irene didn't understand at first what he was talking about until she glanced at Li Xin and others.

But it only made her more puzzled because everyone was looking away with guilt and apologetic eyes.

"Brother Wei, what happened? Why are they looking away like that?" Irene inquired, tilting her head cutely, wondering about the reason.

"Miss Irene, they are the one who forced me to wake you up, because of this they are feeling guilty," Li Wei replied with a shrug, telling the truth and not caring about the cold glares on him.

While hearing and understanding the reason, Irene couldn't help but chuckle.

"You all don't need to worry about this; I purposely left the door open because I was going to sleep more today and was hoping someone will wake me up when it's time," Irene explained assuring them and turned towards Li Wei with a pout who was still holding her precious pillow.

"Brother Wei, release my pillow; it's more important than your life," she stated with teary glare making Li Wei speechless.

'I didn't know my life isn't even comparable to a pillow,' Li Wei thought, feeling a little hurt at her joking comment but nevertheless he released the pillow from his grasp, and as soon as he did Irene hurriedly stored the pillow in her item box as if he would really steal it.

'What the hell, do you really think I am going to steal your pillow?' he cursed in his heart, feeling depressed as he looked at Irene, who was smiling happily because her pillow had been returned.

"Miss Irene, you should hurry up and get ready; it's breakfast time," he reminded her, as he saw her reluctant expression to leave the bed.

"Ugh, okay, I will get ready," Irene replied unwillingly and started to walk towards the bathroom slowly as if there was a monster waiting for her.

Watching her like this made Li Wei's mouth twitch, but he didn't say anything and decided to take his leave with everyone.

However just as he stepped out of the room and closed the door, he was bombarded with cold glares.

"Brother Li, It seems you have very close relationship with Miss Irene. I didn't think you will become husband and wife in just a day."

"However, why you didn't inform us don't tell me you were planning to keep us in the dark?" Alice asked with a cold smile while others nodded, agreeing with her.

Fun fact was Li Xin and Li Yin were also nodding as if they didn't know anything about this.

'XinXin, I explained everything to you yesterday, why are you like this?' Li Wei complained in his mind pitifully as he looked at everyone.

"Ugh, Alice, you guys are all misunderstanding; it's not what you think," he muttered with a depressed face and explained what happened from start to finish.

Only then the glares on him calmed down but Alice and Lily still kept glaring at him.

"Brother Li, if this was the case then you should've explained to Sister Li earlier. Do you know she was trembling with anger when Miss Irene called you husband?" Alice stated with angered tone making both Li Wei and Li Xin stunned.

"Alice, don't reach such conclusions; I have already explained everything to XinXin yesterday. It's just she is pretending not to know. As for the anger, she must be enjoying my misery while trying to hold back her laugh," Li Wei explained with a sigh.

Hearing this Alice became stunned and glanced at Li Xin who looked away with guilt.

'Argh, Sister Li, why are you trying to play like this now? I have accused Brother Li wrongly. What if he doesn't give me enough food from now on?' Alice complained with a depressed face as she thought about her food getting stolen by him.

Li Wei who didn't know her thoughts didn't care much and looked at Lily who was hiding behind Olivia still glaring at him.

'What's wrong with her? Did she started to see ghosts?' he thought with a puzzled face because she has been acting like this for quite a while.

Others didn't notice too much but because of his connection with her he could feel she was scared of something.

But before he could ask the door behind him opened abruptly and something soft yet hard bumped on his back.

"Ouch, Brother Wei, why are you standing in front of the door?" Irene complained with painful tone as she rubbed her small nose while making everyone stunned.

"Miss Irene, you got ready that fast?" Li Wei inquired as he saw her in new clothes that she bought yesterday.

"Humph why can't I get ready early? I only take a bath at night and use purification in morning, so it isn't a problem," Irene replied with a snort, giving an excuse to hide her laziness.

Li Wei did think she must be lazy to do it but he didn't care.

"Then let's go and have breakfast," he suggested.

To this everyone nodded and followed him to the dinner table.

"Brother Wei, why are you all wearing battle outfits are you planning to go outside on an adventure?" Irene inquired as she munched on her cookies first.

"Yes, I forgot to tell you, we are going out to hunt some high-level monsters to train our battle skills," Li Wei explained with a nod and glanced at her.

"What about you, Miss Irene? Are you going to stay at villa?" he inquired but he already knew the answer.

"Why should I stay at the villa alone? I am coming too," Irene stated wrinkling her nose cutely and started to munch on some sweets again.

Li Wei knew her answer already so he didn't feel much surprised but for Alice and others it was different thing.

They didn't even know he will be coming with them and now with Irene's addition they all became stunned wondering what's going on.

But after Li Xin's explanation through the telepathy they understood it was the overprotective brother who was forcefully tagging with them and no one can do anything if he really decided on it.

So they just accepted silently and finished their breakfast with everyone else.

"Mhmm the sweets are good. I want more, Brother Wei," Irene requested with a pitiful look while rubbing her full stomach.

But Li Wei ignored her as it was already the fourth time she was asking after eating everything.

"Do you need to buy any equipment or other things? If yes we will go and buy now," he inquired looking at everyone.

But they all shook their heads in denial.

"Brother, our weapons are in pretty good condition, also Emily and her parents are too busy with the shop so let's not bother them now," Li Xin replied.

With the monster stampede happening a lot of weapons got damaged and broken, because of this, Loid and Eliza were busy in the shop repairing and creating weapons.

It was an important job as adventurers' life depended on it, so they were working day and night.

Li Wei too knew this and nodded at her.

"Then let's go to the north plane directly," he declared not knowing Irene's eyes flashing with a happiness as a gentle smile formed on her mouth.

'Hmm it will be fun to play there, but I wonder if I can create a snowman,' she thought thinking of enjoying her freedom to the fullest.
