Chapter: Chapter 296, Of Course I Hope Miss Eileen is Always Happy
“Who wants to be conjoined with you!”
The girl’s feigned ferocity left Luo Xiu somewhat speechless.
He chuckled, “…Alright.”
The corridor gradually quieted down.
Luo Xiu pondered for a moment and then asked, “Then you don’t know about the changes happening to your own body either?”
Eileen first shook her head, then nodded.
She tapped her finger on her lips, her expression somewhat conflicted.
“Perhaps… it’s a good thing?”
Her tone was hesitant.
Hearing this, Luo Xiu became interested, raising an eyebrow, “A good thing?”
Eileen hummed in affirmation.
She shifted her position, moving from a squatting posture to sitting on the ground.
She habitually drew her knees up, wrapping her arms around herself.
The girl looked up at the sky. The scattered clouds had thinned, and a bit of moonlight pierced through the clouds, gently illuminating her feet.
“Hmm… I just feel like I’ve become stronger.”
Eileen’s small face held a hint of confusion.
She extended her hand, grasping the air.
The next moment, an astonishing aura emanated from the girl.
The skin on her calves beneath the black dress, with its strange markings, began to emit a cold light.
A majestic surge of magic slowly gathered in her palm.
Luo Xiu was taken aback. He carefully sensed it, truly surprised.
Judging by Eileen’s current displayed strength, she could at least be compared to the Third Prince Lance.
Although Lance was ruthlessly crushed in his conflict with Luo Xiu, he was still a highly representative high-tier combat force within the Maya Empire.
Eileen quickly retracted her hand, lowering her head as she spoke in a soft voice.
“If I had possessed this strength when I encountered the demon hunter squad, Selena wouldn’t have gotten hurt…”
As she spoke, she suddenly looked up at Luo Xiu.
Gazing at the man’s familiar eyes, for some reason, a sense of relief welled up within her.
Because if they hadn’t been arrested by the demon hunter squad, they wouldn’t have met this man before them.
Otherwise, they would probably still be on the run, hiding everywhere just to survive.
All these events, who knows if they were blessings or curses?
Although Eileen had called Luo Xiu a pervert many times, it couldn’t be denied that during these past few days together, Luo Xiu’s actions had gradually caused her to shed her preconceptions and open her heart little by little.
“Let the past be the past. We should look forward.”
“Isn’t that right?”
Luo Xiu tried to comfort the girl’s sensitive heart.
His eyes were clear, and he encouraged her, “You shouldn’t dwell on the past. The distance ahead is vast; you must go and see.”
Eileen moved her lips, instinctively wanting to retort.
However, the words caught in her throat, and she forced herself to swallow them.
She replied with a blank expression, “Oh.”
She couldn’t help but grumble inwardly, *What a strange man. I just said something casually, and now he’s acting like a life coach?*
Despite her internal complaints, Eileen still muttered, “No matter how far away the distance is, what does it have to do with me? I can’t just wander around.”
Her complaint was an undeniable fact.
As she grew older, the characteristics related to her being a Witch became more and more apparent.
Whether it was the strange markings on her calves, which were fast approaching her thighs, or her increasingly beautiful and exquisite face.
All these points verified this fact.
If she were to casually appear on the street, she might not even take a few steps before being surrounded by onlookers pointing fingers, who would then report her to the Demon Hunter Association.
As for the consequences of being captured by the Demon Hunter Association, there was no need to even imagine.
They always had only one method for dealing with Witches.
If they could be burned to death on a cross by fire, they were definitely Witches.
If they couldn’t even be burned to death by fire, they were even more confirmed to be Witches.
It was worth mentioning that the Demon Hunter Association seemed to have never encountered a case of someone who couldn’t be burned to death.
Luo Xiu naturally understood the meaning behind Eileen’s words.
His expression turned serious, and he softly said, “Eileen, believe me, I will give you true freedom.”
The man’s words were somewhat strange and abrupt.
But upon hearing them, Eileen’s heart felt as though it had been gently touched by something.
It was like returning to that morning when the man had personally handed her that pastry.
It was sweet and smooth, melting in her mouth.
Though she was reluctant to admit it, it was indeed the most delicious pastry she had ever eaten in this life…
With this thought, Eileen suddenly shook her head alertly.
She secretly reflected on herself.
*What’s wrong with me today…*
*Why do I keep thinking about the good things this pervert has done…*
*He clearly has some indecent intentions.*
Thus, Eileen quickly put on a stern little face, let out a hmph, and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
“Men are all the same, aren’t they? All they know is sweet talk. Do you think I’ll be very moved if I hear it?”
Finally, Eileen seemed to recall something and added in a small voice.
“I’m not a fool like Selena who’s easily fooled!”
Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment, then was amused by her.
He imitated the girl’s posture and sat down as well.
With his hands behind his head, he looked up at the sky.
The night wind blew, stirring up the fine dust in the air.
The scattered clouds had completely drifted away, and the moon revealed its full face.
It scattered a ground of white frost, illuminating the hazy figures of the two.
Luo Xiu was in a very good mood today.
After gazing at the moon for a while, he suddenly spoke, “The moonlight is so beautiful.”
Eileen didn’t understand and pouted, ignoring him.
However, she also raised her head again, to gaze at the brilliant night sky above with the man.
After a short while, the man’s voice came again.
“Eileen, you should cooperate with me a little. Otherwise, I’ll seem very awkward.”
Eileen was startled and somewhat confused.
“Cooperate with what?” she asked.
Luo Xiu smiled, “If I say the moonlight is beautiful, you should reply with ‘the wind is also gentle’.”
Eileen’s eyebrows shot up, and she said irritably, “Gentle my ass! This wind is blowing dust all over the corridor.”
Not achieving his mischievous whim, Luo Xiu didn’t mind.
He chuckled lightly and changed the subject, “Miss Eileen, do you have any dreams?”
Dreams?
Suddenly asked, Eileen was stunned.
She replied, “I haven’t thought about dreams, but I did have a dream while I was unconscious today.”
The girl stopped speaking abruptly after saying this.
Because she remembered that the dream she had seemed a bit inappropriate.
But Luo Xiu, very cooperatively, pressed on.
“What did you dream about?”
Eileen’s face flushed red. She bared her two cute little fangs and put on a fierce expression.
“You’re not allowed to ask!”
“But you said it yourself…”
The girl’s fierce tone did not diminish as she tried to hide her shyness in this way.
“No matter what, you’re not allowed to ask!”
“…Alright.”
Luo Xiu didn’t argue with her.
Fortunately, his own curiosity wasn’t that strong.
He simply continued to chat with the girl casually.
In the dim corridor, Eileen’s small figure unintentionally leaned close to the man.
She suddenly asked, “What about you? What is your dream?”
“Me?”
Luo Xiu answered without hesitation, “My dream, of course, is to hope Miss Eileen is always happy.”
Eileen was stunned.
She spat, “Who would believe that!”
But the man just looked at her quietly and repeated himself.
“By the Holy Light, I will never let Miss Eileen be sad, ever, ever.”
