80 Chapter 78: Confrontation (1/2)

....

Ivery opened her eyes, and her eyes scanned the room. Her mind was muddled, and for a few seconds, she forgot where she was. She then noticed that she was laying on someone...

She lifted her head up and saw Luther looking down at her with a gentle smile.

”How are you feeling?” Luther asked

”Strangely, I feel fine...” Ivery sat up and didn't feel much different

”That's good then.” Luther was happy to hear that

”She's awake!”

Ivery turned her head and saw three fairies flying in.

”We have been instructed to take you to the golden lotus pond.” One of the fairies told her

”Why?” Ivery was curious why they needed to take her to a pond

”It's the rejuvenation pond that gives the bather energy, strength, and magic enhancement. It is necessary for you to bathe in the pond and absorb its energy to give balance to your new magic, since you have consumed the golden apple your magic will be unstable, and bathing in the pond will calm your magic and even bring your newfound abilities to greater heights.” The second fairy explained to her

”Interesting. Okay, take me there.” Ivery smiled

....

Ivery was taken to the golden lotus pond and was given a plain thin white long dress to wear. Ivery had already taken off her hanfu and its under layers and put on the long dress.

She carefully entered the beautiful golden tinted water.

Even the lotus flowers were golden. The water wasn't clear, so Ivery couldn't see how deep the water was, so she stayed waist-deep in the water.

She closed her eyes and inhaled.

The fairies told her to absorb the magic in the pond so it will instantly flow into her prowess core.

The white dress stuck to Ivery's body in the water, making her body shape show vividly.

Just as Ivery began absorbing the magic in the pond, she felt arms wrap around her waist. She gasped at the feeling and turned her head.

”Sorry, you look so tempting…I can't help but want to touch you..” Luther kissed the back of her neck

”L-Luther…I have to-”

”I know, continue…” Luther's arms around her waist slightly tightened

”How…can I..? When you're so close..” Ivery felt like her heart was about to explode and her cheeks were pure crimson

”I'm not leaving you.” Luther smiled

Ivery took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She tried her best to not focus on Luther who was tightly hugging her from behind. The magic from the pond began to once again flow into her body and entered her prowess core.

A faint golden aura was visible around Ivery's body.

”You're so beautiful..” Luther's hands moved down her body

Ivery's eyes opened wide when she felt Luther's hands on her thighs.

”Where's your hanfu?” Ivery was still looking at his attire and asked him

”I don't need it.” Luther lifted Ivery's head up by her chin

”Buying something like that for me and yourself was a waste of money…” Luther leaned down

”If we were going to become adventurers, we might as well act the part.” Ivery smiled

”Mhm.” Luther closed the short distance between them and kissed her deeply

His hands went down and wrapped around her waist again, he then lifted Ivery slightly out of the water, she wrapped her legs around his waist. The water that soaked into her dress poured back into the pond as her legs went up.

He lightly smiled into the kiss and supported her legs.

They both melted into the kiss, and deepened it further, they both didn't dare to disconnect their lips. The passion they both felt was too intense, it needed to be satiated.

Luther then slipped his tongue into her mouth, her eyes opened slightly as their tongues suddenly touched.

Her fingers slowly ran through his long, silky black hair, it was so soft and smooth that felt as if her hands were melting into it….it was surely an addicting feeling.

Ivery looked up and suddenly noticed that several fairies were watching them with blushing faces.

”Mmmn…” Ivery felt embarrassed and slightly pulled away from Luther, disconnecting their lips, a string of saliva followed her pullback

Luther grew irritated and wanted more, his sad expression pierced Ivery's heart.

”What's wrong?” Luther asked her, thinking he did something wrong

Ivery pointed behind him.

He turned around and saw the group of fairies watching them from afar.

”You can't just ignore them?” Luther asked as he went for another kiss

”No..I can't.” Ivery covered his mouth with her hand

”Being watched is…embarrassing..” Ivery blushed

Luther narrowed his eyes and sighed. He licked her palm, which made her quickly move her hand.

He turned around to face the fairies, and Ivery's back was now facing them. Luther glared at the peeping fairies and released his murderous intent. The fairies felt like they were being suffocated, drowned, and like there was a gigantic weight on them.

They all quickly flew away in a panic.

”Now, where were we?” Luther smiled

”You've been very…affectionate lately, why?” Ivery loved this side of Luther but she wondered why he's been extremely loving, he has been more expressive about his love for her with his actions

”Can't I just love you with no reason needed?” Luther asked

”Yes..” Ivery nodded and blushed

”Good.” Luther went for another kiss

Suddenly Ivery quickly pressed her lips against his, initiating the kiss. Luther lightly chuckled and was deeply immersed in the kiss.

...

”You might as well come out, I already know all about you and what you're planning..” Julian said
