Mu Yueli had become more docile now, but Ciel wasn’t sure of the reason she was saying all that.
Her words could probably be interpreted that she was starting to accept Ciel’s presence, but at the same time also wanted Ciel to stay away.
After she heard Ciel’s words, she pressed her lips together and stared in another direction.
“By the way, why aren’t you attacking there now?” asked Ciel.
“I still want to rest,” Mu Yueli replied.
“I see!” nodded Ciel. “How about lying down again?”
He smiled and patted his thigh, offering it as a pillow.
Of course, even if Mu Yueli seemed more docile, she would not accept the offer.
Ciel shook his head, shifting his butt slightly to the side so that he was closer to the woman.
At this point, Mu Yueli suddenly could not help but stare at Ciel’s face again, looking like she was uncomfortable that Ciel was too close to her.
“I think of you as my lover now, no problem, right?” asked Ciel.
“Aren’t you being too tyrannical?” Mu Yueli answered immediately, and she rolled her eyes.
“I don’t think that’s right because you can refuse. If you refuse, I won’t do anything,” Ciel replied.
Hearing his words, Mu Yueli pressed her lips together, not answering again.
Unfortunately, she could not refuse either.
“A man needs to take the initiative to cover a woman’s embarrassment,” Ciel said.
After saying that, both his hands moved, hugging Mu Yueli’s waist.
“You?” The woman was instantly surprised and mesmerized at the same time.
However, although she looked shocked, she did not appear to be trying to get rid of Ciel’s hands.
“Isn’t this comfortable?” said Ciel as he pulled her body until it rested on his.
Slowly, Mu Yueli’s skin became reddish.
“How pretty,” Ciel added.
Actually, he felt like kissing her again, but he refrained because he didn’t want Mu Yueli to lose her mind and jump from his embrace.
In the end, the woman gazed in another direction.
“I remind you, it was only because you kissed me at that time, I just don’t want any stains in my life,” she said suddenly.
Perhaps she thought the kiss was inappropriate unless she and Ciel had a special relationship.
Of course, overall it was still just an excuse she made up.
Ciel didn’t mind whatever it was, he calmly replied, “It doesn’t matter, the important thing is that I feel comfortable, and you feel comfortable too!”
Right after Ciel said that, Mu Yueli suddenly stood up.
“I’m going to destroy this illusion now,” she said.
Whoosh!
A long ice spear appeared in her hand. She then threw it in the direction Ciel had pointed to earlier.
Whoosh!
It moved quickly, seeming to pierce through space and time before crashing into something, and it instantly shattered.
BANG!
A loud explosion sound echoed from all directions as the illusion suddenly shattered, revealing back the mouth of the cave where they were before.
Ciel and Mu Yueli appeared side by side in a standing condition while Kaiya knelt by the side, looking exhausted and frustrated. She was clearly continuing to try to destroy the illusion.
Surprisingly enough, Madam Zhou and Madam Maya were lying in a blindfolded state. They seemed to have passed out.
Their deathly pale skin showed that they had done so much that they were extremely exhausted.
However, when they felt the air of nature and the light of the sun, they still opened their eyes, obviously those things made them awake.
“We are back,” said Madam Maya as she sat up and held her head.
Madam Zhou also sat up, but the first thing she did was stare at Ciel, observing him as if to find out if there were any injuries on him.
When she saw that he was fine and not even tired, she let out a sigh of relief.
She was indeed different from Madam Maya in that she had genuine feelings for Ciel.
Of course, it all could not escape Ciel’s observation.
“Asshole, show yourself!” Kaiya suddenly shouted.
She thrust her hand forward, causing the entire cave to turn into ice before it shattered into small pieces, leaving all living things in the cave exposed including Elliot who was lying on his bed.
Since only one second had passed, so he didn’t have time to feel happy. He was instantly in shock so his entire body froze to the point like he had lost his soul.
“So you did that?” Kaiya’s eyes became colder.
Her gaze instantly made Elliot’s body fly towards her.
Of course, his followers couldn’t stay still.
“Let go of the young master!” They shouted before lunging towards Kaiya.
Unfortunately, just a glare from Kaiya turned them all into black ice sculptures. No one survived except Elliot.
The young man landed in front of Kaiya, and Kaiya immediately punched him in the face until his entire skin turned blue.
It looked like she was really angry.
Perhaps her cultivation was the same as Mu Yueli’s, and her strength was definitely above Mu Yueli’s. However, she was actually much younger. She could still be considered a younger generation. It was only because her talent was so high that her cultivation increased so quickly.
Since she was young, it was only natural for her emotions to become less stable when she encountered difficulties. 𝓞𝓋ℯ𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t
If it was Ciel, he would probably be so frustrated that he would almost go crazy.
Fortunately he had the Eyes of Heaven so he didn’t have to do anything in that illusion.
Now he felt guilty to Kaiya for not destroying the illusion earlier.
As for Elliot, he really didn’t care at all. He only cared about his ring.
Whether Kaiya would kill him or not was not his concern at all.
Plus, he was just a crippled young master, the Ancient Night Race itself wouldn’t care about him either.
If he returned to his clan fruitlessly, he would definitely be punished harshly since he left while stealing their treasures.
However, Kaiya still seemed to have great respect for Ciel. She stopped only after hitting Elliot once and then looked at Ciel.
“Prince, what are we going to do to him?” she asked, asking for his opinion.
Ciel shrugged in response.
“It’s up to you,” he replied.
“Then I’ll kill him and take his blood,” Kaiya said.
Ciel nodded, but wasn’t sure what Elliot’s blood was for. Perhaps it was useful for her cultivation considering she was not human, but a Divine Night Snow Eagle, which could actually be considered a predatory creature.
When thinking about Kaiya’s true identity, Ciel couldn’t help but wonder if there was a connection between her race and the Ancient Night Race given that both had the word Night.
Of course, two things containing the same word were not necessarily connected to each other. After all, there were too many variations in the Cultivation World, and many things were similar despite actually having no connection at all.
After Ciel nodded, Kaiya grabbed Elliot’s collar, and lifted his body before taking out an ice knife and slashing it at his neck.
“You?” The man widened his eyes, but when the knife was about to hit Elliot’s neck, a thin black energy suddenly appeared right above the neck, making Kaiya’s ice knife unable to pass.
“This?” Kaiya’s eyes narrowed sharply while Mu Yueli, Madam Zhou, and Madam Maya showed serious expressions.
As for Ciel, he said, “Protection Formation!”
He instantly deduced that because it really gave a similar feeling to the two formations inside his body.
Actually, Elliot also showed surprise when he saw that, as if he didn’t know that it was inside his body.
“This is probably from the Second Stage God, we can’t destroy it,” Mu Yueli said.
Kaiya clearly knew that, so she was silent, appearing to think for a while before dropping Elliot’s body.
“I guess I’ll get over it,” she said in a low voice.
However, she still took the ring on Elliot’s finger. It didn’t cause the Protection Formation to activate because it wasn’t something that endangered his life.
Kaiya then handed the Ciel to Ciel.
“Prince, this is what you wanted,” she said, clearly guessing Ciel’s thoughts.
Ciel took the ring without hesitation and caressed it with a faint smile.
“This journey is full of benefits,” he said.
Right after he said that, Elliot suddenly spoke to him. “You must be the Ice Prince, right? I’m Elliot Lambert, if you do me a favor, I can tell you a big secret.”
“A big secret? A secret about what?” Ciel couldn’t help but be interested, including Kaiya and the others.
After all, this young man had considerable status. Even without overestimating him, the thing he called a big secret must be something really big.
“I won’t say it now, not until you actually help me heal. Believe me, it’s really worth it, no, this secret is much more valuable,” Elliot replied.
His response could be expected.
Ciel held his chin before finally nodding.
“Alright, I’ll take you back to the Palace and have the Elf Queen heal you. However, you had better not lie to me or you will experience a life worse than death. The formation that protects you will be useless in the Ice Palace,” Ciel replied.
