Chapter 87: The Confessions of the Two and the Juicy… (Part 1)

The rain paused.

Inside the tent, Kalian opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was Leo’s extremely worried face.

Kalian swore she had never seen such an expression on Leo’s face before.

So haggard, so tired, as if he hadn’t slept well in a long time, always watching over her.

A feeling of warmth unlike any other surged into her heart.

"Mr. Leo… I…"

"Shh, let’s talk later." Leo held the girl close, "Just like this… just stay like this for a while…"

"Mr. Leo…" Feeling the warmth from Leo, Kalian smiled happily.

The girl felt shy and didn’t know how to react to this sudden emotion. After thinking for a moment, she placed her hand on Leo’s back and hugged him back with all her strength.

"No! No! How silly! No!" The mechanical bird opened its arms and flew out of the camp, soaring in the sky.

After the rain, the sky cleared, and a rainbow hung above the clouds.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Only each other’s breaths and the beating of their hearts filled the air around Leo and Kalian.

"Mr. Leo…" Kalian slowly relaxed, resting her head on Leo’s shoulder, feeling a long-lost peace.

"Call me Leo."

"Um… okay… Leo… How long was I unconscious?"

"Three days. You have been asleep for three whole days." Leo’s body shook slightly, and his voice was a bit choked, "Kalian, please don’t be so foolish next time. Your life is very important."

He really thought he was going to lose Kalian, this girl who was willing to die for him.

Over those three days, he thought about a lot of things.

In the end, he came to a conclusion—he had to take responsibility for Kalian.

Whether it was blocking that spear instinctively three days ago, or talking in his sleep that night, it showed a truth stronger than any argument—Kalian had already developed feelings for him.

Her words, "Your life is incredibly important to me," were not just polite words, nor a joke, but a real confession.

If a woman is willing to die for you, and you treat her feelings lightly, that is… just too much.

Although Leo is not a good person in the traditional sense, he does not want to be born.

Just joking, if men and women switched places in a drama, at this moment I should promise myself to you.

So, he would take responsibility for Kalian, not only to repay her life-saving kindness but also to return her love for him.

Thinking of this, Leo whispered, "You must promise me not to do such things again, Kalian."

"I…" The young girl in his arms bit her lip slightly and with a little strength, broke free from Leo’s embrace.

Then, she held Leo’s face in her hands, her gentle gaze nearly melting him, "Leo, I… I can’t promise, I didn’t even have time to think; at that moment, all I wanted was for you to live…"

"…What more can I say?" Leo couldn’t help but speak in Chinese.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"I mean, thank you, Kalian. I will remember your kindness for a lifetime." Leo shook his head and smiled.

"Is it just… gratitude?" Perhaps because she had returned from hell, Kalian was no longer shy like before. She stared boldly into Leo’s eyes and asked, "Is there… no other feeling?"

In response, Leo gave her a passionate kiss.

"Mmm~ Ah~"

"Kalian, thank you."

"Leo, I don’t want to hear thank you anymore, hmm~ hmm~"

……

Coming out of Kalian’s tent, it was already close to evening.

Although she had regained her life, the young girl’s weak body still needed rest. Given the situation, being able to hug, cuddle, and share a kiss was already the limit; the rest could wait for later.

"Wow, I didn’t expect we would come this far…"

Leo walked into his tent and sighed, but the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed that his complaints were just empty words.

After all, she was the princess of North Land, with high status, beauty, and a lovely figure.

Such a stunning beauty was something he could never have dreamed of in his past life.

"Oh dear, you’re back, Master! Why didn’t you spend the night at Miss Kalian’s?"

In the darkness, Miss Skuld’s sour voice came again.

"Of course not, I had to come back to keep my Skuld company, or she would get lonely."

Leo lit the oil lamp and walked toward Miss Mucus.

"Huh?" Skuld didn’t expect her usually shy master to speak like that and was a bit taken aback.

Meanwhile, Leo had reached her side, wrapping his arms around her waist and eagerly drawing closer to her.

"Master… um~ Master…"

"Call me Leo."

"Huh? Um~ Ah~ Leo~"

"Skuld, thank you."

"No… it’s nothing… as long as the Master is happy." Skuld’s eyes darted away, enduring the pleasure from her sensitive body, gently tilting her head.

Leo certainly knew that Kalian survived thanks to Skuld’s help.

After all, he had the True Vision Eye, which allowed him to see Kalian’s status panel.

In Kalian’s race section, it had changed from "Human" to "Human-Mucus Hybrid," and her strength had increased from the third level to the fourth level.

[Kalian Tersk]

[Race: Human-Mucus Hybrid]

[Rank: Holy Machine]

[Mechanic (Fourth Level)]

[Strength: 15]

[Agility: 18]

[Physical Strength: 25]

[Charm: 9]

[Intelligence: 5]

[Spiritual Vision: 19]

[Ability: master of tools, mechanical control, truth analysis…]

[Unique destiny: Son of Fate – Truth]

[Son of Fate – Truth: A power shrouded in mist; you do not have permission to view this ability.]

Leo felt even more touched because he knew Kalian was saved by Miss Skuld.

He didn’t even know Miss Skuld had the ability to save Kalian; if Skuld hadn’t saved Kalian, he would not blame her for it.

Miss Mucus, who was jealous every day and had constant issues with Kalian, chose to save her at a moment when she could easily eliminate her rival.

And this, without a doubt, would come at a very high price.

"Skuld." Leo paused his actions, gently holding Miss Mucus’s chin, and said seriously, "What I want to tell you is…"

"Hmm?" Skuld tilted her head slightly.

"Huff…" Leo took a deep breath and tightly hugged Miss Mucus, "I love you, Skuld."

"Huh?" Skuld was completely surprised by the sudden confession. She widened her eyes, unsure of what to say or do.

"Skuld, please believe me, I love you. Meeting you is truly wonderful."

"Master… Leo, I love you too. I really, really love you. I would give up anything for you—"

"Don’t say that anymore. I don’t want anyone to give up their life for me." Leo shook his head, covering her mouth, his fingers trailing along her waist and slowly moving down.
