It was also the first time a young girl felt a touch from a stranger without any sense of disgust.
Feeling the delicate touch in the palm, Lynn knew he had gambled right tonight.
However, at this moment, Tiya, who was pulling him vigorously, seemed unaware of this.
What am I really doing?
Tiya was lost in thought.
She was still immersed in the question that had been echoing in her heart, yet her hands didn't stop.
As a Fourth Rank Transcendent, although she wasn't as physically adept as Xiya, she had undergone the enhancement by extraordinary power four times, making her much stronger than an ordinary person.
Though she appeared fragile and slender, her strength was definitely not small.
At least, she didn't feel too strained while dragging Lynn.
After a moment, she gasped lightly and looked at the black-haired boy lying on the ground in front of her, subconsciously wanting to withdraw her hand.
But a compelling force came suddenly, gripping her small hand tightly in a warm palm.
The regained Tiya finally realized something.
Her green pupils slightly contracted, staring incredulously at the scene before her, as if seeing something out of a fantasy tale.
The intense impact of the scene even temporarily robbed her of her speech; her lips parted slightly but she couldn't utter a word.
Was she really holding hands with a man she had barely met?
And... without feeling any disgust?
How, how is that possible?!
For a moment, Tiya's mind was overwhelmed with uncontrollable panic and shock.
She subconsciously tried to shake off his hand and scream, as if her entire worldview had crumbled.
However, that undeniable force still held her delicate palm firmly in place.
Tiya clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes revealing an unprecedented cold murderous intent.
In her palm appeared the Moonlight Scepter, and as anger welled up from the bottom of her heart, the normally serene and tranquil moonlight around started trembling slightly as if boiling.
Under the unrestrained fury of a Fourth Rank Transcendent, how could a Second Rank possibly survive?
For a moment, Lynn groaned, his face turning exceedingly pale.
"Voya, you are Voya, my Voya..."
Lynn, interlocking fingers with her, clung to her like a drowning man grasping the last straw, muttering to himself.
Tears welled up in his blue eyes, showing a joy of recovering something lost, as if he were dreaming.
But Tiya wasn't in the mood to care about these things.
Her mind was in disarray at the moment, and she wanted to leave immediately to clear her thoughts.
"Get lost! I don't even know..."
"Arguing is useless." At this moment, the pale-faced boy cracked a happy smile, "Do you know, Voya, since you left me, whether it's a divine punishment or something else, I have been afflicted with a rare curse."
"Except for a woman I genuinely like, any woman who touches me makes me feel a disgust that arises."
"Voya, at this point... do you still deny it?"
The boy looked pitiful, like a discarded puppy, making one's heart soften.
Hearing this, Tiya froze again.
But why... does it sound so similar to the Goddess Blessing on her?
One causes dislike towards any man; the other causes dislike towards all women except the liked opposite gender.
The difference between them is merely... no, is there really a difference?
In an instant, a horrifying and panicking speculation crossed Tiya's mind.
Since all men she had met were incredibly disgusting to her, even including her brother Xiya, she subconsciously thought this was a trait of the Goddess Blessing.
But what if... there was a condition that wasn't considered before?
Except for the opposite gender she liked, she wouldn't feel this disgust?
During those lost twelve years, did I once have feelings for this guy?
Other than this, Tiya couldn't think of any other possibility.
But even so, for her, who had decided to be faithful to her brother Xiya, this was absolutely intolerable.
In an instant, the moonlight surged out of Tiya like a tide.
She didn't know why she was doing this.
She only knew that for the guy in front of her, who repeatedly disturbed her state of mind, she could not win over him with words alone and had to resort to the most despicable means.
Tiya slowly raised the Moonlight Scepter in her hand.
However, contrary to her wishes.
Sometimes, the more you want to accomplish something, the more unexpected obstacles intervene.
Just as Tiya was preparing to kill the nuisance right on the spot.
Clear footsteps suddenly came from the glass-wood door in the distance.
The footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, faintly mixed with the light sigh of a young man: "Strange... where did Tiya go?"
The tone and voice, familiar to both individuals present.
(ps: These days have been incredibly busy; I haven't had time to manage the group, and when I finally got a moment to check, it exploded... Anyway, I'll try to appeal and see if I can lift the ban, as I'd spent three hundred to upgrade to a 3000-person big group, and it got ruined in just a few days. If the appeal doesn't work, then I'll start a new one in a few days.)
