In an instant, a warm light burst forth from the Illusory Domain, illuminating the entire Manor.
The next moment, the light began to contract, forming an illusory passageway between Krell and Italia's foreheads.
"Unless something unexpected happened, Krell succeeded," Velin said as he watched the illusory passageway.
"Then you can hold a feast and stuff yourself," Xuemiyya said with a relaxed smile.
"As expected, my adorable wife knows me best." Velin turned to Xuemiyya and teased her with a smile. He then stared at her face, but her expression did not change. She was still smiling sweetly.
It seemed Xuemiyya's skin had grown thicker too. She no longer blushed.
As for the others, smiles appeared on their faces. Though they had believed Krell would succeed, seeing it happen with their own eyes still filled them with joy.
A few minutes later, as the illusory passageway vanished, the Illusory Domain began to contract.
The Frozen Tear Crystal emerged from Italia's forehead. Its surface was no longer blood-red, having returned to its original appearance.
However, the Frozen Tear Crystal had now lost its original function and become an ordinary crystal.
When the Illusory Domain completely dissipated, Krell slowly opened his eyes and looked at his wife lying on the recliner.
Italia opened her eyes as well. Looking at her husband, her gaze was filled with love and guilt.
Krell bent down, kissed Italia's forehead, and said softly, "Welcome back, Italia."
"Krell, I..."
Before Italia could finish, Krell pulled her directly into his arms, leaned close to her ear, and said gently, "Velin and the others are watching us right now."
Hearing that, Italia looked into the distance and discovered that her husband's friends and those close to him were all watching her, their eyes filled with blessings and a trace of expectation.
