And so,
Lu Yuan flew out of the deep pit with Celicia in his arms.
Thump~
His Ice Wings beat against the air.
If Celicia had looked closely at Lu Yuan's back, she would have seen tiny flakes of ice rising with each beat of his Ice Wings, looking exceptionally beautiful.
But Celicia had no heart to admire them.
Her mind was completely blank, and a rosy glow had quietly crept across her pretty face...
Thump~
More clearly than the beat of the Ice Wings, she could hear her own heart pounding.
It was true that she was straightforward by nature.
But she had never experienced anything like this before. It was the first time a boy had held her like this,
and he was the boy she liked, too. It was only natural for her to feel shy.
The upper part of Mandala Snake Valley.
Celicia took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, then said, "Lu Yuan, thank you..."
"No need to thank me."
Lu Yuan smiled, then asked, "What about you? You don't have a flying machine. How will you get around from now on?"
"It's fine. I have other means of transportation in my Spatial Ring."
Flying machines were made from scarce materials, so they could only be obtained through registration.
But Celicia did have other forms of transportation.
"That's good, then. I'll get going. See you next time."
After saying that, Lu Yuan left at once.
Watching Lu Yuan disappear into the distance, Celicia broke into a radiant smile.
"I should get back to looking for resources..."
Celicia murmured to herself, then left as well.
She had come here to search for rare resources that could increase her Spiritual Power.
Generally speaking, a rare resource could only be consumed once in a lifetime.
