Chapter 91: Countdown
Lena sighed softly.
Angel heard the sadness in her voice. Could a devil also feel sorrow? Could she cry?
How strange, how curious…
The pink-haired girl pursed her lips, stepping forward and taking Lena’s hand, intertwining her fingers with the “devil’s claw” she had always feared. “No matter how important he is to you, if he hasn’t seen you, there must be a reason, just like my sister and me. Although we always argue, she’s still my sister, and that blood bond won’t disappear because of anything…”
“Are you comforting me?”
Lena closed her hand around Angel’s, releasing her Mana Surge form, her figure returning to its usual slender and graceful state.
Her fingers tightened around Angel’s hand, the warmth spreading through their intertwined fingers, watching as Angel’s earlobes flushed pink, Lena asked again, “Can you show more concern? Use your method from before, I want to hear your voice…”
“Eh? My voice! I… I… I! What should I do?!”
Angel panicked.
She had never seen Lena so vulnerable, so in need of her, and she felt a surge of satisfaction, a sense of purpose.
So this was what it felt like to be relied upon!
Happiness bloomed within her, and Angel squeezed Lena’s hand, holding it to her chest, her light pink eyes shining brighter than the sun.
Lena felt like she would melt under the holy light if Angel didn’t say something soon.
“What are you doing?”
“Comforting you.”
Angel looked around for a place to sit, and Lena, understanding, summoned a skeletal warrior, which sliced through a pillar with its sword.
The smooth, clean cut was characteristic of a Warrior.
Angel pulled Lena down, and they sat on the pillar, Angel’s hand gently stroking Lena’s hair, pulling her head closer…
“?” Lena blinked, surprised by this unexpected turn of events.
“Isn’t this how it’s done?”
Angel blushed, Lena’s breath warm against her chest, her temperature rising.
“Quiet now, just lie down for a bit, and you’ll feel better!”
“Oh.”
Lena closed her eyes, burying her face in Angel’s soft bosom.
Her nose pressed against Angel’s cleavage, a perfect fit.
The feeling of being enveloped was comforting, like returning to the womb, no distractions, no worries, no struggles, as if all her troubles would vanish under the gentle touch of the hand on her back…
“This makes me sleepy.”
Lena’s lips brushed against Angel’s warm skin, sending shivers down her spine, leaving a faint mark.
“Sleep if you want, do you think anyone here can defeat you?”
“Yes.”
Lena sat up, leaving Angel’s embrace.
She lay down on Angel’s lap, looking up at her, her gaze fixed on Angel’s beautiful face, her delicate neck, her soft, pink hair. Angel’s breathtaking beauty was undoubtedly the brightest star in Lena’s personal ranking.
“Don’t look at me,” Angel said, slightly annoyed, covering Lena’s eyes with her hand.
“But I like looking at you, you’re even more beautiful from this angle.” Lena’s voice was soft and sweet, like honey, making Angel’s heart flutter, her cheeks burning, but she resisted the urge to kiss Lena.
This devil, looking at her with such adoring eyes…
Seduction was cheating!
She wouldn’t fall for it!
Angel’s voice was soft. “Fine, you can look for ten seconds, no more.”
“Hmm~”
Listening to Angel’s countdown, a rhythm pulsed within Lena, like a restless widow seeking solace, waiting for the storm.
“Seven, six, five…”
Angel counted, observing Lena.
Meeting Lena’s eyes, her heart melted, and she quickly looked away.
Why was her heart racing like this?
“Four, three, two…”
“Mmm~”
A soft moan escaped Lena’s lips, her neck twitching, as if tempting the holy angel to fall from grace, to share a bed with the devil.
“One… zero…”
Angel finished counting, just as Lena let out another soft moan.
“Can you stop making those weird sounds? I was just counting down, I didn’t even touch you, you’re making it seem like I’m molesting you…” Angel was exasperated, looking at the sweating gray-haired beauty on her lap, flicking her finger against Lena’s damp forehead.
“Ow.”
Lena’s expression was incredibly pitiful, her eyes watery, a hazy mist within them.
“How dare you hit your Master, you’re becoming more and more disobedient.” Her voice was filled with mock displeasure.
Her slender arm snaked around Angel’s shoulder, her usually hazy eyes now filled with desire. “Hitting your Master deserves punishment. Do you want me to be rough, or will you behave and accept your punishment? I’ll be gentle if you’re obedient…”
“Pervert! Big pervert!” Angel scolded.
“Now the pervert is going to do perverted things, any ideas?”
Lena lifted Angel’s chin with a finger, her soft body wrapping around Angel like a snake. “Or, you can do it yourself.”
She kissed Angel’s slightly parted lips, the color transferring, the movement incredibly gentle and delicate.
“You look better with more youthful colors.”
“Unlike you!” Angel puffed out her cheeks, annoyed. “Dressed so provocatively, who are you trying to seduce?!”
“Hehehe…”
Lena had indeed dressed up before leaving.
She had applied alluring lipstick, wore high heels, a revealing black evening gown, her ample cleavage on full display, her smooth, white legs peeking through the slit of her skirt…
“Youth is priceless, if I don’t show off my best features now, I won’t have the chance when I’m old,” she said without a hint of shame…
“That’s not allowed!”
“Why not?”
“I…” Angel wanted to say Lena’s outfit was too revealing, but she didn’t have the right to lecture her. “It’s just not allowed, you’re so beautiful, what if someone with bad intentions notices you?”
“You mean Prince Moore?”
Lena scoffed. A dead man, he wouldn’t dare covet her beauty. After all, he didn’t even have a whole body left.
“Moore is dead, Anderson is dead, the Blood Raven faction is no more, they won’t see tomorrow’s sun, only darkness.”
She tapped her heel on the ground.
Suddenly, black mist erupted, corroding the floor, like spilled gray paint, skeletal warriors emerging from the corrupted earth.
Angel recognized one of them. “Him!”
The middle-aged, overweight figure in a tattered suit was undoubtedly Judge Anderson!
Lena nodded. “Unfortunately, they all specialized in mental attacks. After death, their consciousness and mental power dissipated, unusable, what a pity…”
She sounded like she had suffered a great loss.
Angel could practically read Lena’s mind now.
She clasped her hands over her heart, a sweet smile on her face.
“As expected of Master! Teaching those fools a lesson~ Suki~ Daisuki~”
