Chapter 1164: What If He Dies?
Chapter 1164: What If He Dies?
"What if he dies?" Keith asked an important question as she sat beside Lith on a bench, holding a cone with double scoops of ice cream.
Lith had double scoops of mango and coconut ice cream in his hand, but he leaned over and licked Keith's dark chocolate scoop instead and said, "Wait for ten minutes, you'll find out."
Keith looked at her licked ice cream, then at Lith with a neutral gaze that wasn't so neutral.
All of a sudden, Lith shivered and rubbed his hand on his thighs. "It's pretty chilly around here."
He then turned to Keith and tilted his ice cream cone. "Ice cream, babe?"
Keith's eased brows slightly furrowed and she glared at him, her expression clearly stating: "The audacity of this man…"
Despite that…
She leaned over while maintaining eye contact and slowly took a bite out of the mango ice cream, then got back to her normal position as if nothing had happened.
"…"
Lith's jaw dropped. He looked at his bitten ice cream, then at Keith, then at the ice cream, and then back at Keith.
"Y-y-you monster… how could you…"
Watching him be so uncomfortable, Keith once again stared right into his eyes and slowly took a bite of her own life cream.
"Nooooo!"
Lith covered his eyes and leaned back, trying to avoid Keith.
"Don't do that to me…"
Having a chunk of dark chocolate ice cream melt in her mouth felt much better than mango. Coupled with Lith's uncomfortable state…
The corner of Keith's lips slightly curved up. It was not noticeable, but there nonetheless.
"Let me know when you finish. I am not looking until then…"
Lith said and got back to licking his ice cream.
A while later.
"Baby, you seemed so submissive and breedable… it took everything within me to hold myself back and not gobble you up right there and then in public."
A soft voice rang in Lith and Keith's ears.
Lith and Keith glanced in the direction of its source and found the tall gothic lady Elara holding hands with Yam and walking down the street.
Yam's face was beet red and he was looking down, as if ashamed of everything. He was also walking funny, unable to walk properly.
Lith raised an eyebrow at that while Keith felt something amiss too.
The two stopped on a bridge and looked at the canal at the bottom.
"Honestly, I don't know what I would've done without you." Elara said and leaned down to hold Yam's face.
"Thank you for coming into my life."
Yam got a suffocating smooch and had his lips smudged with Elara's scarlet red lipstick.
The two turned back to look at the pond and Yam mustered up courage to make his trembling hand wrap around Elara's waist.
When she noticed that, she got closer to him and placed his hand right on her perky butt, making him blush harder.
"Fufu… that's a cute reaction~"
Elara's hand moved to wrap around Yan's waist as well.
"It's sad to know that you have to leave for work. But it's okay. I'll wait for you as long as it's needed." Elara said.
This was the most normal statement she had said in their conversation, but Yam wasn't looking at her or responding.
His head was lowered and really red. He placed his free hand on the ledge and took support of it as he stood on his toes and shivered.
Lith and Keith both frowned watching that.
'What the fuck was happening?'
The two licked their ice creams in sync and wondered.
It was then that Lith noticed that Elara's hand never reached Yam's side and wrapped itself. Rather, her hand had gone somewhere else.
"…"
Lith's mouth was agape and he turned to Keith to state his findings, but found her turning towards him as well with a neutral but knitted brows look.
"You saw what I saw?"
"No."
"Me neither."
"Yes."
The two turned back to face the front and focused on licking their ice creams.
They felt like peeping toms when watching the newly formed couple doing some pda.
Five minutes later.
Yam funnily walked towards Lith. He parted ways with Elara and was back to work.
As he stood in front of him, he found the two to be gazing at him with a stoic face, as if they were rock statues.
Rubbing the back of his head, Yam said, "Umm… well… Sir… I have myself a lady now… and uh… I completed your task. Can we please get down— can we please proceed with business."
Yam had a cold sweat on his back when he said the words get down, as if his ptsd was triggered.
"Are you happy with her?" Lith asked calmly. "You can say no if you want, we'll still proceed with the business."
"No, no, no…" Yam shook his head.
Keith's eyebrow subtly went up and she turned to Lith, her expression saying: "I did say it wouldn't work…"
Lith didn't reply to her.
It was Yam that continued, "I'm really in love with her, very happy. If I ever say no to such a question, I hope it's my last time breathing on nature's magical land."
"…" It was Keith's time to be baffled.
"Pfft…" Lith covered his mouth and looked at her, repeatedly raising his eyebrows up and down. His expression: "Didn't I tell you!? Didn't. I. Effin' tell you!!?!! Bwahahaha!"
Keith rolled her eyes and turned to look at Yam, her expression turning flat as all amusement was gone by now.
Lith stopped snickering and said to Yam, "Alright, young man. Now let's proceed with the business. I'll give you a few things, I want you to deliver it to your bosses."
Yam nodded his head in understanding.
Lith took out a few scrolls from his ring and gave it to Yam.
"Go. I'll call you when needed." Lith instructed.
Yam nodded, bowed, and said, "You have my deepest gratitude, noble sir. Please do not hesitate to summon me if you need anything."
"I won't. Go now."
With that, Yam left, and Lith leaned back on his bench and put his arm around Keith's shoulder, getting a cold glare from her.
The business was over. Why was he still playing pretend and taking advantage of her?
Lith didn't bother looking at the devilish beauty and pulled her close in his embrace. With his free hand, he took out his phone and typed in a few important things.
Once the Asuras get these scrolls, they would make their move. This was the actual first step into causing the fall of the Evure God Clan and the Asura God Clan.
Lith finished typing on his phone and put it back in his ring. He leaned back on the bench and looked up in the sky, a small smile forming on his face.
"…and now… we wait…"
