starchild escapes arranged marriage
Chapter 1379: Inhale, Inhale, Inhale
Happy!
It felt like his whole body was flying.
What is the likelihood of one's first love, dream lover, saying the word "like" to them?
Besides, this first love and dream lover, from any angle, cannot exist in Yun Xi's past.
"I...I...also..." Yun Xi stuttered, totally losing his usual calmness.
This is what Lilibet called "liking"!
The beautiful Azure Excalibur, which he could only see in his dreams before, spoke in a magical language.
A feeling of happiness swept over Yun Xi's body, the sixteen-year-old boy's mind boiling with thoughts, almost making him say in response, "I like you, Lilibet."
It was such a dreamy time for someone you like to confess to you.
Yet, something seemed off.
Looking at Lilibet's pure and flawless eyes, Yun Xi felt she was somewhat different from the familiar sword-wielding Lilibet.
The Lilibet he remembered had never shown such a pure and lovely expression.
Even though her appearance and outline stayed the same, Yun Xi somehow felt that the Lilibet in front of him might not be the familiar Lilibet he knew.
Her cute and clear eyes seemed more like those of Mumu, an innocent child like Adley who didn't understand much about the world. Her words of "liking" seemed to lack any elements of love.
Actually, she didn't say she "likes you," but rather "likes your scent."
Yun Xi watched Lilibet, who kept sniffing and looking curious, with a puzzled expression on his face.
This wasn't the Lilibet he knew; her curious gaze was more like that of a hungry child discovering something delicious and showing pure emotions.
Am I a piece of bread? Yun Xi couldn't help but smile at the unfamiliar Lilibet in front of him, feeling no hint of romance.
It should have been obvious that Lilibet wouldn't say "I like you," especially now, acting as the faceless god. Even if she knew the Starry Sky Chess Master Yun Xi, it wouldn't make sense.
The Lilibet Yun Xi knew as the Goddess Sword was a cold and lonely queen.
If the passionate Hua Huo resembled a queen of summer, radiant like the sun, then Lilibet was a queen of winter, with an eternal frozen aurora.
Two people with very different personalities, Yun Xi and Hua Huo, surprisingly have some similarities. So even after waking up from his dream, Yun Xi couldn't help but fall in love with Hua Huo.
Both Lilibet and Hua Huo were Yun Xi's first love, one in his dreams and one in the real world.
In his dream, Yun Xi sees Lilibet, bringing about his death and rebirth.
In the real world, Yun Xi redeems Hua Huo and brings her hope.
"Need... additional elements..." Lilibet, temporarily removed from battle mode and acting automatically, naturally approaches Yun Xi and gets closer.
Suck! Suck! Suck! Suck! Suck! Lilibet needs to absorb more power from the Soul Gold Sand to replenish energy.
In the projection of the Gold Coast line, the place where Lilibet is most familiar with the smell of Soul Gold Sand is naturally here, at the faceless god.
Getting close to the Soul Gold Sand and absorbing the scent of the Soul Fragment in it is a habit that the divine sword Lilibet has developed over thousands of years, similar to how humans eat when hungry.
Now, Yun Xi is the "food" for this Lilibet.
"Oh... I understand now..." Yun Xi couldn't refuse as Lilibet approached him with open arms.
He knew that Lilibet liked something about him, not him as a person.
He didn't know exactly what it was, but he was sure it had nothing to do with love.
Faced with his dream lover approaching him with such innocent eyes and sitting in his lap, who could resist?
Yun Xi couldn't resist, so he even sat down to make Lilibet more comfortable on his lap.
"I need... to replenish my magic..." Lilibet, in autopilot mode, looked up with a pure expression at Yun Xi, who seemed lost in thought.
Seeing Lilibet's hopeful expression, Yun Xi couldn't bring himself to say "no."
(Translated by Gravity Tales 😨)
With Lilibet so close, Yun Xi faintly understood what she wanted - it was the scent of Soul Fragments on him, the greatest treasure hidden on the Gold Coast line.
This wasn't the power he was ready to have now; his soul wasn't prepared to accept these Soul Fragments yet.
Just now, when using Gigabit Wings, only a tiny portion of Soul Fragments was used up compared to the storage amount in the Gold Coast line.
If absorbing these Soul Fragments now, one can indeed immediately gain vast memories and knowledge, but also bear a soul pressure that he currently cannot handle.
The knowledge remembered by Starchild includes endless star trajectories, including the starry seas of the past, present, and future, even the radiant years that even Creator Rank cannot bear.
So, these Soul Fragments cannot be picked up now. At least wait until he breaks through the legend rank with his own power before touching these things.
The future overdraft caused by using the Gigabit Wings of the legend rank is insignificant compared to this terrifying amount.
Starchild in a complete form carries endless trajectories that even the former girlfriends of Creator Rank find unbelievable.
Using Soul Gold Sand of this quality to replenish magic for a god sword without a master is somewhat wasteful.
"Hmm... comfortable..." Lilibet, who has lost the element of battle and acts in completely automatic mode, is like a puppet, showing no guard against Yun Xi.
This is an instinct formed by the god sword Lilibet after absorbing Soul Gold Sand too many times, and the Azure Excalibur without a master has maintained its strong vitality by continuously absorbing the aura of Starchild Soul Gold Sand.
For the magical sword Lilibet, breathing in the essence of Soul Gold Sand every day had become as natural as eating.
Perhaps, even the main body of Lilibet currently absorbing Soul Gold Sand in the Sky Tower is unaware that her other self in the Nightmare World is doing the same thing.
Yun Xi, who was being absorbed, looked at Lilibet's face full of bliss, feeling her slowly warming body temperature, with a melancholic expression.
What will be the result of confessing to Lilibet at this moment?
Is it meaningful to do so?
Although he knew that the Lilibet in his arms now was as innocent as a child, he still confessed to her.
Perhaps, it was like a sixteen-year-old confessing to an elementary school student.
No matter how you look at it, this is all wrong!
