Sparkle's Intoxication, Tenderness!
After a long while, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
Lin Hai and Bronya came out one after the other.
Bronya's silver hair, which had been styled in a bun, was now slightly disheveled.
A few strands fell across her smooth forehead and slightly flushed cheeks, adding a touch of languidness and charm rarely seen in her usual demeanor.
Her fair cheeks were still flushed, as if they had been coated with the finest rouge.
Her eyes sparkled with a gentle, shimmering light.
The emotion and contentment that could not be hidden in the corners of their eyes and brows.
The silence spoke volumes about what had just happened in the bedroom—something that couldn't be told to outsiders.
Lin Hai's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were gentler and more profound than before.
He looked at the women waiting in the hall and smiled:
"It's so lively outside; it's rare to see such a celebration in Belobog. Why don't we go out for a walk and join in the joy?"
No one objected.
To avoid attracting excessive attention and disturbance, the group donned dark hooded cloaks before leaving Qlipoth Fort.
They concealed their conspicuous appearance and figure.
Like any ordinary citizen, they blended into the bustling crowd in the night.
The streets were filled with the roar of bonfires and the bustling noise of people.
The aroma of wine and food filled the air.
Everyone's face was beaming with a genuine smile.
Sparkle playfully approached Lin Hai, reached out, and hugged his arm tightly.
She leaned almost half her body against him.
I walked alongside him at the front.
The Herta, Seele, and Bronya lagged a few steps behind, intentionally or unintentionally creating some distance between themselves and the others.
The crowds were dense, and laughter and cheerful voices filled the air.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, as they passed through an exceptionally crowded square, Lin Hai and Sparkle's figures, after a few turns in the crowd, became separated from the three women behind them.
This separation carried an unspoken understanding.
It was as if they were gently separated by the revelry of the night.
This created a space for the two people in front to be alone.
"Whoosh--Bang!"
Several beams of light rose into the sky, exploding into countless dazzling, enormous bouquets in the night.
The entire Belobog was illuminated as if it were daytime.
These were celebratory fireworks set off spontaneously by the citizens.
Lin Hai and Sparkle stopped at a relatively quiet street corner and looked up.
The dazzling light flickered on their faces, reflecting their images in each other's eyes.
"Look, now..." Sparkle turned her head, and amidst the booming of fireworks, winked mischievously at Lin Hai, "It's just the two of us left."
Lin Hai looked down at her, his eyes smiling beneath the shadow of the hood, "Yes, it's just the two of us now."
Sparkle pressed herself even closer, tilted her face up, and breathed softly.
"Such a great atmosphere... I'm thinking of doing something naughty."
Lin Hai asked the question knowingly, and gently traced her waist with his finger through the cloak.
"Oh? What bad thing happened?"
Sparkle laughed foolishly, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint.
"Of course... I'll continue to boost your morale! After such a great victory, we must maintain our high fighting spirit!"
"Hasn't the temporary crisis been resolved? Morale still needs a boost?"
"Of course we need it!"
Sparkle said confidently, tracing circles on his chest with her fingertips, "It's easiest to become complacent during celebrations, which is why we need... well, a profound boost to push morale to new heights!"
Seeing her charming yet alluring appearance, Lin Hai reached out and put his arm around her waist, leading her into the shadows of a darker alleyway.
"In that case... let's see how you perform. Let me see just how high you can boost morale."
With permission granted, Sparkle's eyes shone brightly.
She tiptoed and first kissed Lin Hai's cheek like a bird pecking at food, then his chin, each kiss carrying a teasing undertone.
Finally, she took the initiative to cover his slightly cool lips with hers, and after a lingering kiss, they parted slightly.
Sparkle's eyes were misty with tears, and she made a promise in a seductive, husky voice:
"Don't worry... I'll perform well from now on and make sure your morale... soars to its peak."
Lin Hai leaned back on a slightly worn bench by the street.
He tilted his head slightly, gazing at the night sky occasionally illuminated by dazzling fireworks.
The night wind carried a chill, but it couldn't dispel the warmth emanating from his body.
That ultimate sense of exhilaration, emanating from within.
Lin Hai had to admit that the Sparkle was an ingenious, bold, and enthusiastic way of boosting morale.
The results are amazing!
At that moment, he felt completely refreshed, with every cell brimming with vitality.
A mix of fighting spirit and a certain languid sense of satisfaction.
It reached a peak state that is hard to describe!
Sparkle, like a contented cat, nestled in his arms, her cheek pressed against his chest, unusually quiet.
The two embraced silently, enjoying the tenderness and tranquility.
The surrounding festivities seemed like distant background noise.
The cold night air enveloped them.
After a long while, Sparkle stirred gently in his arms, tilted her head back, and asked softly in the flickering light of the fireworks:
"How did you feel just now?"
Lin Hai lowered his head, met her gaze, and said frankly, "It was incredibly enjoyable."
Sparkle seemed unsatisfied with this simple answer and pressed for further information:
How good was it?
She insisted on hearing a more detailed description.
Lin Hai chuckled and used a rather vivid metaphor.
"It feels so good... like I'm about to break free from gravity and fly straight into the sky."
"So... do you still want it?"
Lin Hai stared intently at her.
"You can never get enough of this kind of thing."
"Hmph, you greedy little devil~" Sparkle playfully scolded, her eyes full of smugness. She leaned close to his ear, "When we get back... to your living room, I'll give you... more encouragement, I promise it'll be even better than this time."
"Good."
Lin Hai readily agreed.
The warmth and beauty of the moment made them temporarily forget the hustle and bustle in the distance.
A campfire was burning brightly in an area some distance from the bench.
Many people are holding hands, dancing and singing around the flames, celebrating the great victory brought by the Lin Hai.
The businesswoman, who was actually Phantylia, mingled in the revelry. She seemed to sway her body gently to the rhythm, but out of the corner of her eye, she kept her eyes fixed on the couple embracing on the bench in the distance.
The distance was quite far, and the light was intermittent.
Phantylia couldn't see the specific details, let alone know what exactly happened between the two.
They could only be vaguely seen in their intimate pose.
This unknown only fueled her curiosity.
After a long while, until the noise of the celebration subsided slightly, Phantylia saw Lin Hai and Sparkle stand up and disappear hand in hand around the corner of the street.
Phantylia quietly slipped away from the dancing crowd, like a ghost, and approached the bench.
With no one around, she stopped, bent down slightly, and her nostrils flared gently.
An extremely subtle scent, a blend of a unique warm fragrance and a faintly ambiguous aroma, lingered in the air around the bench.
As the Lord Ravager, Phantylia is extremely sensitive to the aura of life energy.
The peculiar smell instantly made her realize what had just happened there.
A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes.
"Heh..." Phantylia chuckled softly, shaking his head. "These two young people... they're really playing... boldly and recklessly."
In the streets where the whole city is celebrating, in corners where they might be spied on, they dare to be so brazen.
This reckless fervor and vitality only fueled her curiosity about Lin Hai's secrets.
