Chapter 55: Gwen cosplay! Try the tiger spell!
---
Indoors, Lorien threw Gwen into the house. While changing his shoes, he unbuttoned two buttons on his collar to get some fresh air.
"Ah~, don't~!"
But what he didn't expect was that Gwen threw her bag aside and started acting out a scene, cosplaying as a pure, beautiful, and weak schoolgirl being kidnapped by a very evil villain—Lorien himself.
Gwen was naturally suited for this role, still being a high school student.
Watching her act, Lorien smiled, took off his shoes, and continued unbuttoning his shirt. Soon, his shirt was fully unbuttoned and fluttered to both sides, revealing his perfect muscle lines.
Lorien walked forward steadily as Gwen sat back, her eyes fixed on his abdominal and pectoral muscles, swallowing nervously.
Lorien: ..
Lorien felt a bit strange, as if he were the fish being hooked in this playful scenario.
Without further hesitation, Lorien walked over, grabbed Gwen by her belt, and lifted her up.
"Ah~...Hmm?"
Gwen was stunned, her body forming an N shape in Lorien's hands. He walked to the chair, sat down, and placed her on his lap, back facing up.
Finally, he raised his hand high and brought it down heavily.
"Snapped!"
"ah!"
Gwen screamed, tears almost welling up. She quickly reached out to cover her throat, then turned to look at Lorien with big watery eyes, asking, "Why are you really hitting me?!"
Lorien slapped her again before letting her go, saying, "This is your punishment for trying to sneak up on me and scare me."
Gwen jumped up immediately after being released, stubbornly rubbing her back. "What if I just wanted to pat you?"
"Have you forgotten what my profession is?" Lorien looked at her as if she were a fool.
Gwen was stunned. "All right..."
Lorien understood Gwen's little tricks clearly. Though Gwen was secretly happy, she still pretended to be unhappy. "I don't care, you hit me, you have to compensate me!"
She didn't really want anything significant, perhaps just some loving words or a kiss from Lorien.
Lorien thought for a moment, then took out the twelve-talisman bracelet. "Okay, this is my compensation to you."
"Ah?" Gwen was stunned, looking at the exquisite bracelet in Lorien's hand. Though the twelve gems were not big, they were very beautiful, captivating at first sight.
"But..." Gwen hesitated. She liked it, but her good family upbringing made her wary of accepting expensive gifts directly, even from her boyfriend.
Lorien, sensing her hesitation, smiled and took Gwen's right hand, putting the bracelet of twelve talismans on her wrist. "Don't worry, it means more than its worth to me. And you are the best gift from God to me. This twelve-talisman bracelet is a gift to protect you when I am not with you."
Although it was a bit of an exaggeration, it wasn't a big deal as long as it was useful.
"Twelve Talismans?" Gwen hesitated, noticing that the bracelet had been securely fastened to her wrist. Then the twelve talismans flashed with golden light, and Gwen found that the bracelet couldn't be removed no matter how hard she tried.
"This is a binding piece of jewelry. When you want to take it off, just say it silently in your mind. When you don't want to take it off, no one can force it off unless it crashes violently or you are willing."
Lorien then explained the use of each of the twelve spells to Gwen, who was amazed and excited. "Wow~!" she exclaimed, eagerly trying the snake charm's invisibility ability.
At first, Gwen could make herself invisible by standing still. Once mastered, she could make objects and groups invisible, and with proficiency, she could even become invisible and teleport simultaneously.
She tested the power and was delighted when she disappeared from Lorien's sight. "Wu~" Gwen said excitedly, "Guess where I am, Lorien?"
Snapped!
"ah!"
Lorien slapped her lightly, causing Gwen to reappear. "I want you to show your true colors!" Lorien said, smiling.
Although invisibility was impressive, Lorien knew the true potential lay in the yin and yang power of the tiger talisman, which could create clones. He looked at Gwen seriously and said, "Gwen, I'm sure you're very talented. You should try the yin and yang power of the tiger talisman. Let me see the limit of your talent!"
Creating a clone, Gwen x2!

Some power stones would be nice
