Chapter 402


    "Just woke up."


    "So, you woke up and didn’te to find me. You preferred to nestle in a room with a man for a chat. Are you sure there''s nothing... special going on


    between you two?” E cradled a little fox in her arms. The creaturezily squinted its eyes. Upon seeing vin, it perked up. wriggled free from


    E''s bosom, and scampered onto vin''sp. sniffing about with a sweet smile.


    "Carry on, you two, take your time.” Balder said with a chuckle, throwing vin a knowing nce.


    “Thought any more about it?” E sat down on the bed, cheerfully kicking her feet, her perfect profile entuating her seductive form, stirring the


    blood.


    "Thought about what? Oh, have you advanced?" vin suddenly noticed a stronger aura emanating from E.


    "You''re at Stage Ill, Celesse is at Stage III, so how could I not push myself?" E batted her eyshes coquettishly, every smile and frown oozing


    charm.


    "That''s quite fast.”


    "Peak of Stage Ill. Half a year to break through to the fourth, and reaching Stage V within a year will be a breeze," E said confidently. It wouldn''t


    have been possible so quickly, but her grandfather had given her a treasure—the Gore Nectar!


    The Gore Nectar was donated by Tobin. Jarad had given it to E before he left. A Gore Nectar condensed by an Archmage, its rarity was


    indescribable. Gore Nectar was incredibly precious, useful not only for magic practicing but also for potion making. However, for E, a Blood Elfin


    training, its significance went beyond that. Her grandfather had said it would at least help her break through by three Stages!


    "Don''t look at me like that. The Combat Magic I practice is considered dark arts by some, with its drawbacks." E leaned in closer to vin, her


    delicate beauty nearly touching his face. A subtle fragrance wafted into his senses, causing his heartbeat to quicken. She giggled, "Don''t change the


    subject. What''s your decision?”


    vin shifted back. “Decision about what?"


    E''s eyes sparkled. "The engagement, silly. My grandfather already mentioned it.”


    vin broke into a sweat, hardly able to fend off the fiery E. “Your marriage should be your choice. How can you let your grandfather arrange it so


    casually?”


    I''ve asked Helna, and she''s quite pleased. I''ve asked Celesse, and she sends her blessings. I''ve asked Mari, and she rolled her eyes at me."


    vin was torn betweenughter and despair. "You''re stirring up trouble. The township''s lively enough these days.”


    "So, you don''t believe I asked them?”


    "If I choose to marry you, would you really wed?" vin suddenly gazed at E


    E''s crimson eyes met his quietly, and after a moment, she smiled mischievously, licking her rosy lips, but offered no reply.


    Just then, a voice emerged from vin''s arms. "What do you think woulde of us joining?”


    The lvory Turtle, unnoticed before,


    was now lying n vin''s embrace,


    Staring at the little fox. The fox .


    looked back in surprise, and the x


    turtle was in rapture, its little paws


    reaching to nt a kiss on the-fox.


    The fox leaped back into E’s


    arms, ring at the turtle-narrowly


    escaping an unwee “advance.

    "Eh? Where did you get this toad?"


    "Turtle! It''s a turtle!" The turtle winked at the fox, clearly finding it attractive.


    "Excava ed from the Royal

    "It speaks?” E said, surprised as she picked up the Ivory Turtle. The small creature looked delicate and pure, incredibly adorable.


    The turtle’s eyes bulged at the sight of E''s bosom, utterly captivated


    “Don''t touch it. It''s a bit lewd," vin quickly snatched it back.

    Eughed merrily, tapping the turtle''s head with her finger. "Don''t be so cheeky.”


    vin stuffed the turtle back into his arms; the creature was too forward and a bit neurotic. It was best kept contained.


    The turtle then stuck out its head again. "Mdy, is your fox a vixen? Don''t make a mistake.”


    "You''re of different breeds,” E quipped.


    "Breed isn''t the issue. True love transcends all."


    "Age is the issue! You''re too old. You''re practically fossilized!” vin shoved the turtle back into his embrace.


    "How am I fossilized? You tell me exactly where I''m fossilized!” The turtle became frantic, struggling to escape.


    At that moment, Balder reentered. “Forgot to mention, there''s an odd visitor in town, but I''ve been unable to locate them these past few days."
