107: Chapter 107 The Crystal Maiden

A voice full of surprise came from inside the room.

Before Lairuilei could reply, a completely snow-white figure poked her head out through the gap in the door.

After staring at each other for a moment, Lairuilei covered her small mouth and exclaimed:

"Lilai?"

"Mmhmm, Big Sister Lairuilei, it really is you!"

The snow-white figure ran out excitedly and threw herself into Lairuilei's arms.

Under the faint light, Chen Fan was finally able to see this figure clearly.

She was nearly 1.7 meters tall, completely snow-white, and wore a thin, ice-blue robe that barely contained her magnificent figure, which looked like it was about to burst through the fabric.

The V-shaped hem of her robe revealed her long, shapely legs.

Most uniquely, an ice-blue gemstone was embedded in her forehead.

As she pounced, the air around her seemed to freeze.

Lairuilei bore the brunt of it.

Lilai felt like millennium-old ice as she crashed into her arms.

Instantly, it felt as if the blood in her body had frozen, and her teeth began to chatter uncontrollably.

"Sis... Sister, please move away a bit, I... I can't take it."

"Ah! I'm sorry!"

Lilai exclaimed and secretly chanted a few spells.

The surrounding frost gradually melted, and within moments, the temperature returned to normal.

Lairuilei breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pinch Lilai's pretty face.

"Are you trying to freeze your sister to death?"

"Mm, that's not it. I was just too excited to see you and forgot to retract my domain."

Lilai kept rubbing against Lairuilei, her hands feeling around everywhere.

"Go away, stop touching me."

Lairuilei brushed her hand away irritably and turned to look at Chen Fan.

"Master, Lilai is one of our own."

"Master?"

Lilai blinked, her eyes scanning the two of them with suspicion.

A moment later, the corners of her mouth curled up into a mischievous grin:

"So, Big Sister likes this type?"

Lairuilei's face flushed slightly, and she glared at Lilai reproachfully, ignoring her.

"Lucky you, I've managed to Recruit an ice sister for you."

"Ahem..."

Under the strange gazes of The Five Women, Chen Fan felt his composure slipping.

"Well, our team is full... um, quite full."

His gaze swept over her full assets, and Chen Fan gave a high evaluation.

"Is that so?"

Lairuilei looked at Chen Fan with a knowing smile, then chuckled twice and retreated to the back of the group.

Judging by her posture, she was clearly waiting to see Chen Fan make a fool of himself.

"Ahem... so, Lilai, why were you locked in this room?"

Lilai scanned the area, her gaze lingering on The Five Women for a moment before finally landing on Chen Fan.

Her eyes darted around, "Do you want to Recruit me?"

"Yes... no, answer my question first."

Chen Fan had subconsciously blurted out his true thoughts.

"Hehe, where were you looking just now? Here?"

Lilai gathered her hands inward, acting playfully.

"Hiss..." Chen Fan felt dizzy.

"Wow, this little sister is so interesting, come here for a hug."

Vase was the first to step out, hugging Lilai, and they began to attack each other with their impressive assets.

It made Chen Fan feel dizzy.

Jiu Jiu silently leaned in, fiercely pinched Chen Fan's lower back, and gritted her teeth:

"Where did you get such dumb luck to run into such a top-tier and useful little sister?"

"Useful?" Chen Fan paused.

"Isn't she useful? The fact that Xin's skills can be used continuously must be thanks to Lilai."

"Oh, you mean that kind of useful, yes, indeed."

Chen Fan nodded in agreement.

This earned him an eye-roll from Jiu Jiu.

She had no objections to Lilai joining.

After all, anyone who had seen Xin's unlimited skill usage earlier could understand Lilai's value.

Naturally, the more NPCs like this, the better.

After the women got to know each other, Chen Fan said seriously:

"You still haven't answered why you were locked inside."

Lilai pouted and said aggrievedly: "That stinky cat, as soon as part of its consciousness awakened, it imprisoned me here, wanting to use my Arcane Aura to accelerate the awakening of its other consciousnesses."

"Arcane Aura?" Chen Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Mm."

Lilai smiled playfully, "Let me introduce myself, I am the Crystal Maiden, Lilai. You can also call me Ice Maiden."

"My skill is Arcane Aura, which can increase the energy recovery speed of all allies."

"All of them?!?"

Vase covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Jiu Jiu was also quite shocked, "How much does it increase? What's the range?"

"Currently, it's 1% energy recovery per second."

Lilai tilted her head and said uncertainly: "As for the range, I haven't tested it, but it seems that as long as they are allies, it works anywhere."

Everyone hadn't yet recovered from the terrifying speed of 1% per second before they were shocked again by what she said next.

"Any... anywhere? Across the whole world?!?"

"It seems so, but this big sister, could you please not point your big boobs at me? It's a bit stressful."

Lilai reached out and poked Vase.

This immediately made her shriek.

Chen Fan and Jiu Jiu looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

"The whole world? Brother, hurry and Recruit her!"

"Don't panic, she can't run." Chen Fan soothed Jiu Jiu with his gaze and extended his right hand toward Lilai.

"Recruit!"

"Eh, is Master so impatient? Alright then."

Lilai giggled and nodded in agreement.

[Recruitment successful: New Crew Member: Crystal Maiden (S-Class)]

The moment she was recruited, Chen Fan couldn't wait to open the Crew Member information.

[Arcane Aura: Increases energy recovery speed for all allies. Current increase: 1% per second. Range: Worldwide.]

Chen Fan shared the skill description in a daze, causing The Five Women to exclaim in surprise.

This meant that as long as they were in a team with Chen Fan, they could enjoy the Arcane Aura even if they weren't together.

Although not many of their Crew Members could use skills, as their levels increased, there would be more and more S-Class Crew Members in the future.

By then, the effect of this skill would be terrifying.

Thinking of this, The Five Women's gazes toward the Ice Maiden became heated.

"Are you all coming at me together? Little Ice Maiden is very weak and can't handle something this big."

Facing everyone's gazes, Lilai crossed her arms over her chest, pretending to look scared.

But what she said made The Five Women blush.

They couldn't help but glance at Chen Fan, then spat a few times and retreated to the back of the group.

Jiu Jiu looked at Lairuilei, and she finally understood why Lairuilei had hidden in the back.

"Fine, I'll slowly train her later."

This girl, her skill is invincible, but her personality is too flighty and she has no filter.

Chen Fan shook his head helplessly and waved his hand.

Immediately, all the Sailors dispersed to conduct Exploration of this island.

Just then, a voice call request popped up.

goddess ship: "Brother, I have some good information to share with you."

"What information?"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.
