Chapter 457
Chapter 457 Night of Intimacy
Her head was heavy.
When Mary finally regained consciousness, she was inside a peaceful and quiet bedroom.
The bed was soft, and the smooth bedsheets had a familiar scent to them.
Mary opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the brightly lit ceiling.
This was a stone tower. Naturally, the ceiling was made of stone as well.
It was smooth, flat, and had a gray-white color with tiny particles of metal mixed within. Its unique appearance allowed Mary to identify its material with a single look.
It was steelrock, an ordinary stone most commonly used for constructing tall buildings.
She immediately grabbed Greem by the collar and pulled him to her face. Their noses were practically touching, and their eyes stared into each other.
“Hmph! I won’t let that brat get ahead of me!”
Mary’s full, red lips sealed Greem’s mouth.
The candlelight continued glowing as Mary’s slim and slender shadow slowly merged with Greem’s.
An odd and intimate sound started ringing out from within the room.
…………
The sun was high in the sky by the time Greem woke up from his sweet dream.
He could no longer see Mary’s form on the messy bed, but her scent still lingered on the bedsheets.
Greem had sat up too quickly. He felt intense pain on his waist as if it was almost about to break. Apart from the pain, there was also lethargy and exhaustion there. However, when he recalled Mary’s wildness from the night before, Greem immediately felt an itch in his heart. An unsuppressible impulse rushed to his head.
Greem made himself get out of bed with much difficulty and made a quick scan of the tower. Strangely enough, he couldn’t find Mary. Her subordinates on the second level had also vanished.
However, it wasn’t as if he didn’t find anything with his Spirit.
Greem stepped forward. Violent flames flashed across his naked body, and the marks from last night’s entanglement immediately vanished. Greem removed a set of clothes from the rack beside him as he walked past it and came to the wooden table. Mary’s handwriting was on the parchment at the very top of a pile of writing materials.
‘I’ll go talk to Alice!’
Er… What was this? Was she going to assert her dominance, or to meet with an old friend?
An expression of helplessness appeared on Greem’s face as he held the parchment in his hands.
Mary’s straightforward and passionate personality deeply attracted him, but he honestly didn’t know what to do with her recklessly indulgent actions. She had always been such a maverick, insisting on what she wanted to do. Most of the time, her actions came before reason. She had gone ahead and done such an important thing without first discussing it with him. Moreover, she had made it sound like it was the right thing to do.
That caused Greem to be somewhat annoyed, but he immediately started fantasizing.
His relationship with Alice was both formal and informal, with a dash of intimacy involved. It was different from his candid passion with Mary. What would happen when Mary and Alice collided together? Greem didn’t know, but he wanted to.
…………
Far away over an empty plain, Mary was flying in the air. Vanlier, Soros, and the other two knights followed behind her.
The traffic of travelers and merchants on the gray road beneath made Vanlier extremely thirsty; He desperately wanted to dive down and feast.
However, what occupied more of his mind was the unusual behavior of his master. He beat his wings harder and closed in on Mary’s side. Vanlier asked softly, “Master, where are we going?”
“The northernmost end of the Continent of Adepts. There, you have the lands governed by the Northern Witches.” Mary didn’t know why, but her mood today was excellent. She didn’t reprimand Vanlier for his chattiness and patiently answered his question.
“Why are we going there? Master, didn’t you just return to the clan? Does the clan allow you to run about as you like in this manner?” Vanlier mustered up the courage to ask.
“Hmph! I just helped them win a plane war; I have ten years of vacation after returning. From now on, I am completely free!”
“Then why are we going to the base of the Northern Witches?”
“Seeing a friend!” Mary suddenly shouted in irritation, “A friend that’s too full of herself!”
Mary didn’t give Vanlier a chance to ask any further questions. She flapped her bat wings, and her body dashed across the skies like a lightning bolt, leaving a red beam in the air. She soon disappeared from Vanlier’s sight.
“Master. Wait for me……”
Vanlier rolled his eyeballs and quickly understood that his master didn’t want him asking any more questions about that mysterious man from earlier.
Thus, he shut his mouth, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to chase after his master.
Five red lines drew across the sky and flew into the distance!
