Free Web NovelChapter 782: Chapter 377: Unexpected Visitor
The young girl froze, then gently nudged him with her forehead, akin to nodding.
"Do you remember what I said? Giving the Demon-Born Flower to you must be the result of your mother’s careful deliberation. Such a destiny is not your fault. You bear this Demon, yet can still live like an ordinary person, which is already remarkable. As for me, having chosen to take you along, I won’t let you go."
Li Ang ultimately decided to let Dorothy join the group on Spark Island, hoping she could fight against destiny. As he learned more about her, he truly understood what kind of person she was.
She used feigned innocence to offset the endless fatigue brought by worldly shackles; she used her body’s sensations to ward off the pain brought by her heavy fate.
She knew her own powerlessness, that she could only, with all her might, grasp onto Li Ang, the wind allowing her to breathe, taking her out of the prison of destiny.
The Golden Canary was disliked by many; she sang only for one person, danced only in his hand. So as this person, Li Ang understood even more: only his choice could decide whether the Golden Canary would remain just a canary or ascend to a greater stage.
The two embraced in the mist, emotions gradually intertwining, intertwining.
"Li Ang, Li Ang..."
Dorothy called her lover’s name: "Don’t worry if I faint, I want, I want you on top of me, as long as you’re happy, do it hard to ruin me..."
The boiling emotions were hard to resist the ravages of the Demon-Born Flower, standing on the edge of passion and unconsciousness, the rainbow-colored maiden lifted her eyelids with great effort, her gaze like silk, firmly tied to the person in her heart.
Li Ang was originally breathing heavily, now lowered his voice and asked: "Actually, I’ve always wondered if it would be dizzy here?"
He pressed in deeper, a little rough.
The Golden Canary stiffened entirely.
Li Ang hooked upwards, and the Half-Elf seemed to flare up, a beautiful shiver passed down her spine, even her fair skin tinged a reddish mark, biting her lip until it almost bled.
"No, it won’t." She said with all her strength.
"So it’s settled then." Li Ang chuckled lightly, the meaning behind it making the Golden Canary shiver continuously, unable to hold out.
Her face burned so much she couldn’t speak, a stark contrast to her usual mature demeanor.
"What, scared now, little fairy? Usually so skilled, are you really a jack of all trades?"
"I... I always feared you wouldn’t want to," Dorothy trembled, slurring her words, "after all, this is unconventional."
"We’ll have to eat it sooner or later, changing the order doesn’t matter."
"Uh-uh..."
A string of extremely low, suppressed moans echoed in the throat, the Golden Canary submerged completely in the water.
The excellent energy conduction of the Eternal Summer ensured that the water pipe engraved with fire dragons consistently filled with hot water, the steam never becoming thin. Dorothy felt she had fallen into a fiery pit, wanting to completely melt in this heat.
...
"So, let’s analyze it."
Li Ang sat on the edge of the bed, behind him a Half-Elf holding a pillow and sheets, the blush on her face yet to fade.
"Since your brothers came here, it shows that compared to other forces in Nebis, whether it is the Celestial Group or the Guild, the Empire indeed has a huge advantage, which is the ability to teleport anytime, anywhere."
Li Ang pondered: "Previously, they should have relied on Jenoside to come here, and after that Star Soul fell, it seems they’ve been trapped in the Flos Sky Realm, but by finding the ’Flint’, they can teleport again, likely using the teleportation device you saw last, embedded with stones."
"Hey, can’t you enjoy the moment a bit longer, man?! Rushing into serious matters after such un-ladylike events?" The not-so-ladylike lady threw a pillow at the head of the Star Flower Travel Corps.
"What’s up?" Li Ang caught the pillow.
Dorothy pulled the sheets over half her face, whispering: "Again."
"Stop it, can you even handle it?"
Tearing down the last layer of emotional barrier, Li Ang grew ruder: "Still a jack of all trades, using the back while the front leaks? Luckily, it’s a bathroom; hmm, the bathtub suits a fish’s habitat."
Another pillow hit his face, and this time he didn’t catch it, aiming to ease the Half-Elf’s mood.
The rainbow-colored maiden bit her silver teeth and said: "Clearly, clearly you’re doing it on purpose to see me embarrassed!"
She covered her face, mumbling, "What nobility, what lady, none of it counts anymore, I’m no better than a beast, no, not even that..."
"So, won’t do it like this in the future?"
"Do it." Dorothy’s response was without hesitation.
Li Ang slightly curled his lips, scratching his head, "Forget your family, let’s talk about you; I really couldn’t have imagined."
"Could, couldn’t have imagined what?"
Dorothy blushed again, knowing what Li Ang wanted to say.
"The Demon-Born Flower."
Relying on his Spiritual Observation ability, Li Ang previously confirmed the balance of power within Dorothy—it was her will suppressing the riot of the Demon Flower, while they provided her with immortality, and grew from her waist to fight.
If her emotions exceeded a threshold, the restraint on the Demon-Born Flower would loosen. Normally, it might result in the violent outburst of the Demon Flower causing her body to explode, but she wasn’t sure if it was due to their long-term symbiosis that her body would automatically trigger a circuit breaker, as her emotions exceeded the threshold, she would directly faint, while some subconscious part of her would control to re-suppress the Demon-Born Flower.
In theory, the symbiosis with the Demon-Born Flower originated from Ancient Elf Secret Techniques, and after years of confrontation, she should have had strong Magic Manipulation abilities herself.
But Li Ang didn’t have the Ancient Elves’ secrets for cultivating Demon-Born Flower Warriors, not knowing her situation, she always progressed very slowly.
Yet just now, she suddenly broke through the realm.
Now, checking through the interface, she is already a Tier Five Priest, even though as a Tier Five Priest she doesn’t know any skills, but confirming Professional Tier is determined by the mastery level of magic power rather than technique.
She herself is now capable of casting with Tier Five Magic.
"Doing it this way, the strength increase actually surpasses all your efforts pulling against the Demon-Born Flower, I don’t know what to say."
Hiding her reddened face, Dorothy peeked at Li Ang, even she felt terrible about herself.
"Love, watering with love, haven’t you heard stories like it?"
Li Ang lightly nodded, not in a joking mood, he even thought this was very possible.
Her emotions linked to the Demon Flower, the so-called love causing her change seemed reasonable, this scenario likened to some special professions’ cultivation paths.
Those Shapeshifters, who mastered form transformation—Mage, Witch Doctor, and Druid, have a "Power of Body and Mind" training requiring willpower to fully permeate magic and flesh.
"Had I known, no matter what, I would’ve sooner..." the Half-Elf muttered quietly.
Where confusion and pain previously lingered on the Golden Canary, now only tranquility and peace remained, her smiling lips revealing the most beautiful aspect that had made Li Ang’s heart tremble since their meeting.
She didn’t want to hear about the Empire for now, and Li Ang silently pondered in his own mind.
From the tone of William Campbell and Elton Campbell, their family knew, and the Empire wasn’t keeping their other powers a secret from these nobles.
Was it another Star Soul? Or something else? That Flame Teleportation Gate was quite noteworthy.
The original intention for those two fellows to come to the Flos Sky Realm might have been the Empire intending to set up a Monster Nursery directly on the frontline like in the City of the Ship’s Rudder to directly produce Monster Knights as combat power, but the Campbell Clan’s Monster Taming techniques shouldn’t be that efficient, otherwise, they would’ve ruled over Nebis long ago.
These are further clues, indicating the Empire is still plotting something.
Li Ang lifted the Demon’s Hand: after resolving it, participating in the Guild’s siege needs to be considered.
Through a night in the embrace of his lover, morning arrived, and as Li Ang woke, he noticed a commotion on the deck.
He woke Dorothy who was clinging to him like an octopus, ensuring she was tidied up without raising suspicion, then swiftly washed up and headed to the deck.
Due to the scheduled departure, Andasu didn’t notify the crew, setting sail from the City of Trade early in the morning. As Li Ang stepped onto the deck, surrounded by pristine white clouds, judging by the temperature and sunlight, they hadn’t left the Flos Sky Realm yet.
In the center of the deck, Farina, Meimei, Livi, and Anna held serious expressions, even interacting with someone using a gesture of formality.
This person was incredibly tall, his majestic stature already surpassing that of a human.
He was fiery red from head to toe, whether it was his long robe or hair, and when he turned to look at Li Ang, the heat in his eyes gave the illusion of wanting to incinerate him entirely.
This person is...
No, he isn’t human.
From understanding Farina and the things she spoke about in the past, Li Ang had already guessed who this visitor was.
Fire Six Dragons Agni cheerfully greeted Li Ang: "Oh! So you are the friend of this Dragon’s deputy!"
