214 Soften Hear (2/2)

Breaking out the surface, Lyon was pushed upward as the water held him in the sky. The water surging formed like a huge sunflower, where he was at the center, being presented to its master.

As his limbs were held by the water, only his head was free. With his hair dangling down, he faced the mature beauty with a smile.

”What are you smiling at, don't you know the position you are in right now?” asked Felicia. Normally, people would have freaked out and pleaded for their lives to be spared but he didn't do that. She didn't feel any nervousness at all from him despite the disparity of their cultivation levels.

”I know what position am I in right now, I'm stuck at staring the beauty in front of me. A beauty, that was carved in heaven but lives in this world.”

Felicia's lips slowly curved up into a smile after she heard his shameless flirting, ”Stop playing games brat, I heard something better than that.”

Lyon kept his smile, ”Of course, I wouldn't expect myself to melt your heart with just flowery words, I'm not that kind of man.”

”Oh, are you a knight in shining armor then?” teased Felicia. She seemed to forget her initial question.

Lyon chuckled before shaking his head, ”Do I look shiny?”

”Pfft, hahaha,” Felicia burst out her laughter.

Unbeknownst to them, Elize and Long were peeking at them and heard all of their conversations. Elize, in particular, was making a pout on her face. She felt complicated as she liked that her mother had finally laugh out loud since forever, but she kinda hated it that Lyon was flirting with her. (You better make me laugh too later!).

”So, are you going to let me down now?” asked Lyon. Since this was the perfect chance to ask he didn't hesitate to take it.

”Fat chance brat,” said Felicia shaking her head.

”Ah, what's this deja vu?”

Felicia turned her eyes sharp as she lightened her tone, ”What's your name?”

Though it was slightly different, Lyon knew there was a change to her heart. From the sentence she was using to ask him, he knew he did manage to soften her brute heart because instead of using 'who are you?' she directly asked his name, not to mention the non-hostile tone.

”My name is Lyon Torga,” answered Lyon with a smile despite being held like a hostage.

She slightly furrowed her eyebrows before she contemplated (Torga? Where did I hear that name last time? I can't remember).

”Where are you from?” asked Felicia. She wanted to know if she could jolt her memory through this question.

”Hmm, I'm not from this world.”

(I knew it, nobody in this world would have that kind of strong heart, to be firm and calm despite the overwhelming opposition that might as well be gods to them) thought Felicia.

”I'm from a world called, Earth.”
