“Oh crap, facial cleanser.”

“This life is complete!”

Feeling the deep crevices of his face buried within and the faint scent of pear, Lynn suddenly thought this risky moment today wasn’t such a loss after all.

He secretly took a breath and reluctantly raised his head.

However, considering the current situation, he restrained his wandering expression while lifting his gaze, returning to a calm demeanor.

At this moment, Ivyst, whose mask had long since fallen, revealed her stunningly beautiful yet cold face, her expression restored to its usual dignity and severity.

As if everything that had just happened was merely his imagination.

After all, as a princess, the grace and majesty instilled in her from a young age were engraved in her bones.

Ivyst wasn’t the type of woman who enjoyed acting hysterically or panicking; the scene where she cried earlier could be considered a rare sight.

And now, she seemed to have recovered from the shock and impact.

However, from the slightly reddened corners of her eyes and the icy hand gripping his arm, it was clear that Her Highness the Princess’s emotions were not as calm as they appeared.

“Your Highness, I…”

Lynn just wanted to say something.

But the willful woman before him once again showcased her specialty, ignoring his words.

Not only that, she violently tore open his already tattered clothing, her hands trembling slightly as they slithered across his body like a cold little snake.

She didn’t even spare the little head.

Of course, this was merely to check for any irreversible harm on Lynn’s body.

Hey, hey, hey, there’s a nympho here!

Lynn gasped.

Though it was somewhat thrilling, at least he needed to see if the atmosphere was appropriate.

So, he took a step back, trying to escape Ivyst’s tight embrace but unexpectedly, she grabbed his wrist.

As if to say, “You’re not getting away.”

She held on so tightly that her nails dug deep into Lynn’s skin.

Yet, Ivyst’s expression looked so calm.

Only the fiery glint occasionally flashing in her eyes hinted at the chaotic state she was currently in.

He thought he would fall asleep again, had things all planned out.

Who knew that at the critical moment, her beloved little puppy would pounce on her, like a wolf guarding its master, saving her from nightmares and despair.

This was something she never expected.

“Come back with me to the Imperial Capital.” After a long silence, Ivyst firmly squeezed Lynn’s wrist and pretended to be calm, “Glostin has many large churches, far more powerful than this impoverished Orlen City. There are also sealed items in many noble families, even in the royal treasury, that can solve the predicament you’re facing.”

“Your Highness, you…”

“It’s just the core characteristics of a Level 0 Sealed Item. As long as you’re alive, there will always be a way to remove it.”

“I…”

“Rest assured, no matter the cost, I will heal you.”

“Also, I’m not in the mood to hear anything else from you right now, but after this is all over, you must tell me everything that happened from start to finish.”

Ivyst kept interrupting Lynn, dragging him outside.

As if thinking that the moment she loosened her grip, he would fly off to some place she could never find again.

Only by doing this could she somehow extend the time Lynn would remain beside her.

However, Lynn wasn’t currently in the mood to listen to Ivyst’s words.

He looked at his bloodied wrist that she was gripping, sighed slightly, and chose to stop.

“In that case… Your Highness, wouldn’t you be lowering yourself to beg those damned guys?” Lynn replied, “If it means suffering such humiliation, it’s better to just kill me.”

Damn.

Those sweet words slipped right out.

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell into deep regret.

Did he think the crazy woman’s current favorability level wasn’t high enough?

Controlled again by that little head!

He wished he could slap himself.

Sure enough, upon hearing Lynn’s words, a flash of heat passed through Ivyst’s crimson eyes, and a hint of unusual blush appeared on her originally pale face.

Seeing this, Lynn hurriedly changed the subject: “Besides, Your Highness, I was about to die anyway, shouldn’t you…”

But before he could finish, he suddenly felt himself slammed against the wall nearby.

Ivyst leaned down, opened her lips, and bit into his shoulder.

With a warm, damp sensation and a strange pain, Lynn felt blood oozing from his shoulder.

However, this crazy woman didn’t seem to mind, even extending her tongue to lick the spilling blood, then slightly tilting her head back, swallowing it all.

Holy crap, this is getting wild!

Lynn was stunned by Ivyst’s sudden actions.

Having done all this, a hint of sickly satisfaction flickered in her red eyes, but her tone was icy: “Since you want to talk, then talk.”

“I spared you, letting you return to the Imperial Capital first, but you secretly jumped back and did these unnecessary things, even made your master worry. I certainly don’t remember raising such a rebellious little puppy.”

“This mark, I left it as a trivial punishment for your previous actions.”

“And…” Ivyst suddenly grabbed his face forcefully, her hot and sweet breath spilling over Lynn’s face, “I already told you, the only one who can make you die in this world is me.”

“If I don’t let you die, then no matter what, you can’t die.”

Hearing this, Lynn took a deep breath.

He was about to say something when a noise erupted from the entrance of the Underground Relic.

“Your Highness!!! Are you okay?!”

Concerned voices from the subordinates came through.

In a little-kitty state, Afia leaped forward, turning into her human form mid-air, and crashed into Lynn’s arms like a headbutt cannonball.

“The bad guy is fine!” After knocking Lynn back a few steps, her eyes sparkled with surprise and admiration, “Everyone is okay, that’s great!”

“By the way, that noise earlier was terrifying! What happened?!”

Interrupted, Ivyst took a deep breath, suppressing the hint of sickness that had just appeared in her eyes, and regained her composure.

“This princess is fine.” She replied blandly, “What about casualties?”

Morris emerged from the shadows, wiping his tears, “Except for the Duke’s elite troops suffering more than half casualties, everyone else is basically okay.”

Duke Tilius followed closely, his face very grim, saying nothing, as if furious over what Sixth Saint Roland had caused today.

But when he locked eyes with Lynn, the Duke’s expression slightly relaxed as they silently nodded at each other.

In an instant, the entire Underground Relic was filled with a lightened atmosphere, as everyone was immersed in the joy of survival.

“Bro, you’re awesome!” Greya came over to put his arm around Lynn’s shoulders, shock written all over his face, “Can you tell me what exactly you did?”

“When those two terrifying beings were fighting in the sky, I vaguely saw one of the monsters looked a bit like you. Rhine even said I was mistaken.”

“That was indeed me.” Feeling the stares from all directions, Lynn didn’t hide it, “And the other being is currently residing in my body.”

With that, Lynn suddenly raised his hand, gathering a blob of black mire in his palm.

“?!”

A being of such terrifying power, likely reaching Sixth Stage Half-Divine, is actually just chilling in his body?

Yet this guy is currently only First Stage? For a moment, as if something clicked in their minds, everyone fell silent, the joy just evaporating.

A flicker of concern appeared in Afia’s eyes.

Looking at the suddenly quiet crowd, Lynn smiled slightly: “Seeing that everyone is okay, I can finally relax.”

“Also, I have a few things to tell you.”

Speaking, he suddenly looked down at Afia in his arms: “Though Her Highness didn’t directly absorb the core characteristics of that Level 0 Sealed Item, she is still somewhat contaminated.”

“Perhaps for a while, she will often feel weak all over, even experience temporary paralysis symptoms; you should prepare a wheelchair in advance and best push her around for daily outings.”

Currently, Ivyst was standing only by sheer will, barely managing to remain upright.

Since Lynn and the Creation Demon were now highly fused, his senses had indeed become sharp.

Her physical condition definitely didn’t escape his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ivyst’s expression suddenly turned a bit gloomy.

!.

It seemed she sensed what Lynn was about to do, staggering towards him: “Shut up…”

Lynn suddenly leaped into the air.

Seeing this, she tightly gritted her teeth, rage flickering on her fair face.

As if to say, “You really grew a backbone, daring to ignore your master’s orders?!”

Yet Lynn didn’t pause, continuing: “Duke, you are a true noble.”

“During the subsequent royal selection, I entrust Her Highness to you. I hope you won’t let down your previous promises.”

Now even Duke Tilius sensed something was off.

“Hey, you little brat…”

“Rhine.” Lynn’s gaze suddenly landed on that arrogant blond man, “Though I detest you, the Augusta family is one of the few forces that Her Highness can rely on.”

“I hope you won’t act opportunistically; if you choose loyalty, then stick with it to the end.”

The named Rhine stiffened for a moment.

But sensing the surrounding gazes, he merely snorted and nodded.

“Greya, after I’m gone, when you encounter things, remember to think about how I would handle them. Sometimes, unconventional methods often open up situations more easily.”

“And Morris…”

Lynn was about to say more.

However, the Creation Demon was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Even though he had a couple of steps to pave the way, at its level, it certainly wouldn’t allow a First Stage ant to manipulate freely.

“Pfft!”

With a splash of blood, Lynn’s body was pierced by sharp spikes formed from the black mire.

A malicious face drilled out from his chest, casting a gloomy glance at everything around.

The crowd gasped in shock.

Yet Lynn still controlled his faltering body, floating in the air.

“Come back to me, this princess!”

Ivyst’s tone was still cold, but her voice carried an almost imperceptible quiver and disorder.

She instinctively raised her hand as if wanting to grab Lynn’s collar.

Yet no matter what, her body ultimately couldn’t hold out, crumpling to the ground, cradled in Afia’s arms.

“Hey, hey, what you just said was meant to leave after this, right?” Greya realized Lynn’s intentions and immediately frowned, “That’s enough!”

“Leave this to Her Highness and the experts in the Imperial Capital. Don’t think you can sort it out alone; you’re not some savior, just a First Stage!”

“Moreover…”

“No, there are some things that only I can do right now.”

Lynn interrupted Greya.

He looked down at everyone, and at Ivyst being held by Afia in the crowd.

Gazing into those red beautiful eyes, Lynn suddenly smiled: “Lastly, I have one more thing to say.”

“Your Highness, I believe in you; you will certainly become a great emperor in the future.”

With that, he leaped to the highest point.

“Soon, I will briefly gain control of the Creation Demon’s powers.” Lynn raised his voice, “At that moment, I will activate my ability to transport you all out of the Soren Mountain Range.”

“What are you trying to do?!”

Voices shouted urgently from below.

“I want to… completely end everything.”

Saying this, he slowly raised his right hand.

Accompanied by a wave of spatial disturbance, everyone’s figures began to fade away.

Noticing his intentions, Ivyst gritted her teeth.

Even though her whole body had plunged into a momentary paralysis, she instinctively reached towards him.

Locking eyes, Lynn surprisingly felt a flicker of imperceptible pleading from those crimson beautiful eyes.

It was just a hint, yet he captured it clearly.

This was the first time Lynn sensed such soft emotions from Ivyst.

Even when threatened with self-harm before, this woman had never flinched.

“.Farewell, Your Highness, and to you all.”
