Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Qi and Yu Meng quietly escaped from the back, and the two of them stuck to the walls until they reached the cage that Lewis was in.

However, the cage still needed to be unlocked with a key, and that very key was hanging on the waist of the chief bandit.

“What should we do?”

Lin Qi took a deep breath and suddenly remembered that he still had the system’s delicacies.

All of a sudden, he thought of an idea.

He boldly walked toward the fireplace the bandits were resting by and then pretended to be the bandits’ chef by cooking in the big pot before him. In actuality, he was in the system, taking out the chicken fillets and preparing the Flaming Swirl Roasted Chicken. That dish was actually really spicy and after eating it, all the power in one’s body would burst out. Of course, it was useless for someone to use it now. After all, there was no opponent attacking, so it would only end up depleting the power of those who ate it.

Immediately, a delectable aroma entered the noses of the bandits. They came over and asked Lin Qi, “Hey, chef, what is this dish?”

“Chili Roasted Chicken!”

Lin Qi handed out plates of the roasted chicken. It was piping hot and the aroma assailed their nostrils. Immediately, the bandits began to drool.

“Give it to me!”

“Hey, that was mine. I was the one who got it first!”

The bandits had not realized that there was something fishy going on, so they all scrambled to eat the roasted chicken. However, when they took a bite, their eyes instantly widened.

“So spicy!”

“It’s so spicy but so satisfying!”

Almost all the bandits were sweating profusely from the spicy food, but they still could not stop. They were wolfing down the roasted chicken.

Seeing that, a smile appeared on Lin Qi’s face. It seemed that his plan had succeeded.

After eating the roasted chicken, the energy in each of the bandits’ bodies increased. After a while, they felt tired, and with the help of the alcohol, they were all lying on the ground一too drunk to speak.

When Luther came out and saw that the bandits were all exhausted, he immediately knew that something was wrong. He turned his head to look at Lin Qi who was beside the cooking pot.

“Hey, who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

Lin Qi turned to him and took out the Flaming Swirl Roasted Chicken. He placed it in front of him and said, “Do you want to try it?”

“No!”

Luther slapped away the roasted chicken because he knew that there was something wrong with it.

However, Lin Qi did not mind because all the bandits were exhausted and would not pose a threat to him.

Lin Qi calmly turned around. He had secretly taken the key from the chief bandit while he was distracted, and threw it to Yu Meng.

“What? You let my wife escape?”

Luther’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, and he was full of rage.

Yu Meng opened the door of the cage for Lewis, and Lewis was finally freed. He said, “Oh, thank you, Yu Meng!”

“Don’t thank me, thank Lin Qi!”

Then, Yu Meng slowly walked forward and stood beside Lin Qi to fight alongside him.

“Hmph, it seems that you think you can escape after defeating all my men?”

After saying that, he took out his greatsword. The greatsword glinted under the bright moonlight.

Yu Meng narrowed her eyes. In all honesty, she had only recovered half of her magic energy by then.

On the other hand, Lewis was only a swordsman, and he did not even have a sword. He would be of no help to them.

Needless to say, Lin Qi was neither a swordsman nor a mage. He also had no fighting abilities.

In other words, in his current state, he was at a clear disadvantage against a grand swordmaster!

At that moment, Luther knew that Lewis and Lin Qi had no fighting strength, while Yu Meng was only a beginner-level mage, so he was not afraid.

“Lin Qi, do you still have the Magic Sweet Potato?” Yu Meng asked Lin Qi.

Lin Qi was confident as he smiled and said, “I don’t have the Magic Sweet Potato, but I can give you candy!”

“Don’t you know what situation you’re in? You are still in the mood to joke around?” Yu Meng scolded Lin Qi.

However, Lin Qi’s expression was calm, and there was a hint of a smile on his lips.

“I’m not joking around. In short, if you eat this candy, we’ll all be saved!”

As Lin Qi’s calm voice resounded, Yu Meng and Lewis felt very curious.

“Lin Qi, are you joking?” Lewis said in disbelief. “You are truly unreliable!”

Yu Meng was also disappointed, and her eyes were full of shame for being so reliant on Lin Qi. She started to think of ways she could defeat Luther

“Trust me!”

Lin Qi shoved the candy toward Yu Meng’s mouth. At that, Yu Meng wanted to push it away subconsciously, but she saw that the candy was emitting a purple luster, and it tempted her with its sweet fragrance.

Without her realizing it, she had already stuffed the candy into her mouth. Suddenly, a distinct sweetness flowed down her throat.

“So... So sweet!”

Yu Meng blurted out. Then, she felt that the magic energy in her body was gradually increasing. She had not realized that she had eaten the Enhancement Candy.

That was a candy that could greatly increase the magic energy of a beginner mage like Yu Meng. When eaten, the mana of a beginner-level mage could be greatly increased to the amount of mana possessed by an intermediate-level mage for a certain period of time.

“I... I can feel the mana in my body surging!” Yu Meng said in disbelief.

Luther, on the other hand, did not want to wait any longer. He picked up his greatsword and lunged toward them.

“Be careful!”

As she heard Lin Qi’s voice, Yu Meng’s eyes instantly lit up, and her magic staff flew back into her hand.

“Ice Magic: Ice Seal!”

In actuality, Yu Meng had never used that spell before, but at that moment, she unconsciously cast it.

Boom!

A gust of wind blew from her magic staff and instantly engulfed the surrounding aura.

“What?”

The wind was mixed with ice and snow, making it difficult for Luther’s greatsword to slash through.

“Ah!”

Yu Meng had never thought that she could have such powerful magic energy to fully use that spell.

Luther was only a grand swordmaster. He was not strong enough to deal with an intermediate-level spell.

Soon, he could not withstand it. His whole body was blown away, and then his hands and feet were frozen by the ice and snow.

“Ahh!”

Yu Meng had used up all her mana and her body went limp. Fortunately, she was supported by Lin Qi.

“Are you okay?”

At that moment, Lin Qi held her and he could not help but blush. That was the first time he had ever hugged a girl.

On the other side, Luther’s eyes were fierce. He gritted his teeth and broke the ice and snow一walking toward them step by step.

However, Lin Qi knew that he had no strength left. He was not afraid even if he stood face-to-face with Luther.

“What’s your name?”
