Chapter 588: Bloody Vines (2/2)

”Really?!” Lilith's eyes widened in surprise and realization.

Swoosh~!

Without waiting for Leon's response, Lilith immediately shot higher into the skies, reaching the clouds shortly.

Leon's head was raised, following Lilith's trail with his gaze—even seeing her panty flash from below, before he felt Aria's gaze on him.

”Did you see what I mean?” Aria said with a slightly disgruntled look.

Knowing what she was talking about, Leon rubbed his cheeks before he explained with a wry smile, ”She was just expressing her gratitude… Ahem, don't overthink it…”

”Yeah, right. Do you think anyone will just give you a smooch on the cheeks if there isn't any trace of love hidden within her heart?” Aria rolled eyes before she sighed, ”Seems like I need to prepare to accept another sister.”

”I don't know about that, but it seems like someone has been a little grouchy.” Leon wrapped his arms around Aria's body from behind and nibbled on her ear, ”Perhaps, I haven't been giving you enough of my affection?”

Feeling Leon's warm breath on her ears, Aria's face quickly flushed with embarrassment.

The open display of intimacy made her further embarrassed as she spoke shyly in a soft tone, ”There are people around…”

”Hm?” Leon noticed the subtle implication in her message before he smiled mischievously and whispered softly, ”Then we will continue when no one is around.”

Aria's face flushed deeper before parting from Leon's hold, but she did not object and even tacitly agreed with a silent nod.

At the same time, Leon silently thought in his mind, 'I already missed the last opportunity. I can't miss this one too.'

Lust aside, Leon wondered how much Aria will benefit from their next intimate session now that his body has been remolded by True Grandmist Energy.

Swoosh~!

”Uwaa! Leon, I love it! These tools are amazing!” Lilith returned with a rarely seen joyful look that Leon had not seen since they met.

Mwah! Mwah!

Lilith gave Leon a few more pecks on each cheek before she parted from Leon and asked expectantly, ”Can I keep these two items?”

”Of course. The anti-suppression pendant and levitation ring are my gifts to you. Keep it by all means. I still have a few more,” Leon said casually.

If he had worked on his phrasing a bit, it would have been a nail in the coffin.

Nevertheless, Lilith's eyes brightened before she wanted to give Leon a few more pecks to share her joy.

”Ahem!” Aria faked a cough loudly.

Lilith's exuberant mood was cooled before she glanced over to Aria. She realized what she had done before her expression turned awkward.

”Oh, sorry. Something was caught in my throat. Was I interrupting something?” Aria said with a dumb look.

Leon was a little speechless.

Aria's jealousy could not be any more obvious, causing Leon to smile at this cute side of her. But before Leon could tease her, Silver's howl immediately alerted everyone.

”Awroo!”

Swoosh~!

Leon quickly shot over to the Transcendent-level silver wolf's side.

Aria and Lilith followed not too far behind while Soft Feather descended at the sound of trouble with Duna on her back.

”Silver, what wrong?” Leon asked before Silver whimpered with its legs caught in red vines, unable to break free.

”Awroo!” Silver struggled.

But the more the Transcendent-level silver wolf resisted inside the blood vines, the tighter it coiled around the silver wolf's limbs and tails, binding it to the ground.

Leon frowned.

The Tier 4 Bone Spear quickly flashed in his hand before he hacked at the blood vines—only for it to bounce back before the blood vine shifted its aggression to Leon, immediately coiling around him.

”Leon!” Aria cried.

She immediately conjured a few ice-lightning swords while Lilith revealed her claw-like sharp nails in preparation to free Leon.

However, Leon raised a hand against the bloody vine's constraints and stopped them, ”Don't attack just yet. These bloody vines are pretty strange and fascinating. Let me investigate a bit.”

The bloody vine's resilience drew his curiosity.

After instructing the silver wolf to stop resisting, Albion observed the surrounding bloody vines that seemed to have grown out from the blood-soaked soil littered with mutant rat carcasses.

Aria and Lilith pegged their noses from the putrid stench in the area while Leon muttered with interest, ”How peculiar…”
