079: An excited Ilis, generous rewards

Ilis stepped forward twice, a trace of eagerness in her purple, diamond-like eyes. At 174 centimeters tall, her sharp high heels let her meet the 180-centimeter Su Yi at eye level.

They were less than ten centimeters apart now. Su Yi could clearly smell her delicate fragrance and see her smooth, fair skin and sculpted features.

"Now, show me your ability."

Su Yi nodded. "All right!"

Then he stepped back twice and raised his palm.

Amid bursts of scorching firelight, a length of flame as solid as a physical object emerged from Su Yi's palm in the shape of a thorny vine.

In an instant, scorching waves of heat sent the air temperature soaring.

Ilis stared eagerly at the strange flame. Suffocating heat washed over her, but she showed no fear.

"That's it! That's it! It's thornfire!"

While Ilis watched in delight, Su Yi hurriedly put away his thornfire.

Ilis wanted more. "Why did you put it away?"

A boon of this caliber belonged to someone with a rank of at least L50!

Never mind her—even her father had never seen thornfire this close!

Su Yi said respectfully, "Miss, if I keep going, I'll set off the fire alarm."

"That might cause unnecessary trouble."

Ilis quickly settled her excitement, looking at Su Yi with approval.

He could remain composed even when facing her at such close range, and still had the presence of mind to consider that. It showed that he truly had a steady head.

Exhaling softly, Ilis curled her lips slightly. "Gheros, you're good. Much better than I imagined."

"It seems the Goddess saw your bravery back then and gave you the reward you deserved."

Su Yi said with complete seriousness, "All of this is thanks to your grace."

Ilis's dark, willow-leaf eyebrows rose slightly. "Mine?"
