"Did you miss ?" A familiar voice brushed past Tang Yue's ears.
Her eyes fluttered nervously, unable to swallow the tall drink of piping hot water standing in front of her.
"Soone Soone might see us."
The first words out of her mouth, seeing him after so long, were sothing like this?
Xander frowned. "No one will." He arrogantly answered her.
Since it was already the end of the day, a little past dusk, only a few contestants remained behind in the demarcated area.
Among those who were still around, no one needed to use the furnace stations anymore. After all, a furnace was typically used at the beginning of the forging session.
This gave Xander a lot of privacy to interact with his troublemaker snake.
The man was also wearing a tattered brown robe, enabling him to blend in completely without standing out.
"You didn't answer my question yet? Did you miss at all?" The pair of unforgiving crimson eyes interrogated her again.
Tang Yue was more than confused.
The man who had always maintained a distance from her, kept her at an arm's length, was suddenly acting so familiar and intimate?
This threw her off.
She hesitated a bit before attempting to reply.
But Xander was faster than her. He noticed the awkwardness on her face and knew beforehand that the reply wouldn't be to his liking.
So he leaned forward and hurriedly captured the slightly parted lips, drowning Tang Yue's words before they could escape her mouth.
Tang Yue's eyes flew wide. Why was he kissing ? Does he like ?
No, that simply cannot be possible!
She was surprised since everything had happened too fast and too sudden.
The man had pinned her down, his hands on her waist, but her own hands were still free.
They instinctively shot forward and tried to push him away, but in the end, they rely clutched the ends of his robe tightly, as Tang Yue found herself drowning deeper and deeper into his embrace.
The grip Xander had on her waist tightened and the man took his ti licking her lips and caressing her tongue with his.
Xander had to admit. This feeling that he enjoyed ssing with the woman in person was a hundred tis better than the mischievous illusionary tricks he had played on her whilst she was sleeping.
The woman's touch and her reactions were completely intoxicating, making him almost forget where they were.
He felt a sudden overwhelming urge to take her for himself right here and right now.
He wanted to tear apart the thin layer of disguise separating her from him and devour her wholly right this instant.
He wanted to do to her, in reality, everything that he had done to her in her dream.
What was the worst thing that could happen? The dwarves might go to war with them for secretly spying on them?
So what? Let it all burn! It would still be worth it!
Xander's mind was truly running out of control and the man wryly chuckled as he broke the passionate kiss.
Strings of his saliva fell on Tang Yue's lips, making them glisten and sparkle.
The man leaned closer again to lick her lips and then forcefully pulled back, controlling himself this ti.
A low grunt escaped his mouth, sounding as if he was in pain.
He leaned forward, his face resting near her ears and he grumbled. "I change my fucking mind. Just co back ho with ."
"I don't care about the council. I will take care of them. Just co back with and be by my side."
If Tang Yue was shocked until now, then these few words completely blew her mind.
Was this a proposal? Was this a confession?
Was he really not the one who exiled ? What was this council he ntioned? The elven high council?
Tang Yue was flabbergasted. Everything felt extrely unrealistic.
Wait a second, am I just dreaming again?
She even pinched herself and the pain was real enough.
But everything that was happening was still unbelievable for her.
Just what had happened in these past few weeks that changed this madman so much?
There were a million questions in her mind.
However, putting aside all these new developnts, Tang Yue was still not convinced.
She looked at the man, directly gazing at his eyes, and spoke, her voice steady and unwavering.
"I don't want to co back just yet."
He might be her betrothed, but Tang Yue knew very well that the words of a man ant nothing.
Just like her father, he might also cherish her one day and throw her away like trash the next day.
She refused to compromise everything that she had planned, just because he whispered a few sweet nothings in her ear.
She had a plan and she was going to see that through.
Xander t the stubborn eyes glaring at him and he knew that she had already decided on a course of action.
Having spent so much ti with her, how could he not know just how adamant and headstrong she was.
Xander paused, looking at her for a while, and then he helplessly sighed. "I see."
His grip around her waist loosened and the man let her free.
He was really accepting my demands? Just like that?
Was this the sa arrogant madman who always had his way? Tang Yue was once again speechless.
She didn't imdiately leave and it was not because she was afraid of him.
Even though she appeared to be extrely resolute, she was still slightly moved by Xander's words and the vulnerability he had exposed.
His words could they really be true?
Just as the two figures were silently gazing at each other, a cute and bubbly voice sounded from outside.
"Yue! Yue! Are you still here?" Charlotte walked over, calling out for Tang Yue.
The next instant a beautiful elf vixen hybrid woman stood at the entrance of the furnace tent, her face frozen in shock, and her mouth wide agape.
Just what the hell was happening here???
