Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class - Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Natalia—”Very interesting conversation between couple.”
Almond remained a little indifferent towards Valentina as they left the dungeon.

He talked with others and became familiar with them. Checking out as well, he knew they were not troublesome people unless the situation changed something for them.

He also realized these old monsters were the most stable powerhouses, but their values and principles were also solid. Affecting those could affect them greatly.

As Bianca and Valentina departed in their small but slick, jet-like airship, Bianca immediately asked, “What happened between you two? His vibe towards you changed after the boss fight.”

“Nothing much, just a minor thing,” Valentina carefreely said as she walked towards the comfy sofa and lay down.

However, Bianca wasn’t about to let her off the hook as she sternly spoke, “Speak, what did you pull on him?”

“I just gave him a surprise kiss on his lips. He didn’t like it much, I guess. Said he wouldn’t even dream of me,” Valentina rolled her eyes. “But it’s fine.”

“Look, Valentina,” Bianca said, her expression turning somber. “That kid is in a phase that is very active and developing. He is in the process of solidifying his disposition towards others. He is not an innocent boy who just turned eighteen. There’s already blood in his hands.”

“Woah, that’s awesome. Who did he kill? But if he is free, then that means Admiral Rudra deemed his skill was justified, I guess?”

“That’s not the point here,” Bianca sighed, but her vibe became even more pressuring as Valentina felt goosebumps and quickly sat up.

“Do not provoke him by breaching his boundaries. He rejected you, so accept it and forget about him.”

“Fine, fine, I got it,” Valentina laid down again and opened her wristwatch, watching the news as she muttered, “But I doubt there is someone else like him…sad.”

Bianca snorted and didn’t say anything as she went to the sofa in front of the dashboard and sat down as she started flying manually.

…

Almond arrived at the courtyard, his mind occupied a single thing all this while.

‘I should tell her what happened, right?’

‘Or since there’s nothing, and it was her who made a move, it’s fine?’

It was 11 in the night, and Lily was just sitting in the courtyard.

It was clear she was waiting for him.

“You returned,” Lily smiled and arrived in front of him in a blink, emerging from his shadow as her hands wrapped around his waist.

“How was the S-rank dungeon?”

“Pretty good. The Epic-rank monsters weren’t that bad,” Almond smiled and kissed her.

“I’m envious. You must have seen Admiral Rudra and other frontline powers, right? How powerful was the boss?”

“Tell me and show me everything,” Lily took him to the open pavilion with an eager expression, as she wanted to know about his experience and see the combat power of old monsters.

Almond looked at her as he sat down across her, with a table between them.

Looking at the empty glass on the table, he said to Alfred, who just arrived to greet him, “Alfred, get some wine, please.”

“Right away, Master.”

“You seem off,” Lily suddenly said as Alfred left, her eyes narrowing. “Something is bothering you.”

‘I should tell her. What if some boy kissed her like that, and she hid it? I would hate it.

‘Since another girl touched my lips that belonged to Lily, I must tell her. My love is like this, so I should expect the same.’

“I have to confess something.”

“What?”

“A girl kissed me.”

*Pat*

Almond felt his world becoming extra clear as his right cheek stung from Lily’s slap.

The clarity came in like lightning as he nodded at Lily and said, “I would have reacted the same.”

Lily leaned forward and rested her arms on the table, her eyes sharpening, “Was she more powerful than you?”

“No.”

“If a boy less powerful than me was around, I would never let that happen. You let that happen, which is why I slapped you.”

Almond blinked. ‘I could have dodged indeed, but I failed to predict she would do something like that…’

However, he could feel that Lily indeed wouldn’t let something like that happen to her based on her personality and conduct.

“I deserved that slap,” Almond nodded.

Lily faintly smiled, “Now, tell me. How did you react?”

“I instantly backed off, and-” Almond suddenly paused and shook his head. “I should show you instead.”

Waving his hand, Almond conjured a screen that displayed his memories from his perspective.

Lily saw Valentina in front of her and raised her eyebrows.

Hearing Almond’s words, her smile widened.

“I like that response. You are mine forever, and I am yours forever.”

“Yes,” Almond grinned.

“Then tell me, what would you have done to someone who forcefully kissed me, touching my lips that are yours?”

“Kill him,” Almond reflexively said with a fiery glint in his eyes, but then he calmed down. However, the desire to kill that person didn’t diminish.

Lily fell into thought and nodded, “Mhmm, I would have killed him right there and then if I could. How dare he do that.”

“But I think that’s too much…right?” Lily tilted her head. “What do you think?”

“Yeah…” Almond nodded and understood that it was too much. But in that scenario, his killing intent towards such a person couldn’t go down.

‘Am I very ruthless? No, not generally….but I feel like being ruthless towards that someone if he did that to Lily…’

“What if I still want to kill him?” Lily said as her eyes flashed disgust. “I can’t shake the idea of not killing him after he did something like that. My hate towards that bitch who kissed you is increasing when I think about it.”

“Say, darling, would you feel like killing him in my situation?” Lily stared at Almond.

Almond sighed and nodded, “Yeah.”

One was feeling more irritation now, and another was feeling conflicted.

Watching the two was Natalia who suddenly clapped her hands and emerged from the shadows with Benedict.

“Ben told me you two were being kind of serious, so I told him to sneak up, and wow,” Natalia walked towards them. “Very interesting conversation between couple.”

“…”

“…”

Sitting in front of them, Natalia grinned, “Allow me to help.”
