As Lia finally managed to finish her long quest for ascension and managed to become the disciple of a legendary figure from the past, she regained her consciousness.
As she slowly opened her eyes, the smell of delicious tea in the air confirmed that the tea-loving boyfriend of hers was definitely nearby!
*Sipp~*
"Mannn~ I must say, you make really good tea, Rio. Did you take some tea-making course or what?"
"Talking about the tea-making... my wife used to make such good coffee... sigh..."
"By the way, do you know that when Lia was little, she was one day fascinated by the fact that her mother liked to drink coffee a lot..."
As Lia was lying unconscious, James was spilling all of Liaâs dark secrets to Rio after being bribed with a tasty cup of tea.
"One day, she sneakily snuck in her motherâs room and mischievously took a sip of the coffee..."
"But to her dismay, the coffee had no sugar or milk in it at the moment... it was bitter as f*ck!"
James smirked as he spoke.
"Little Lia didnât know but I and her mother were sneakily observing her from the slightly opened door..."
"Pfffft~... Poor little Lia... cried endlessly till she fell asleep in my arms and she even refused to hug her mother for days, as she felt that her mother was some kind of witch who liked drinking weird-tasting drinks... hahaha~"
"BAHAHAHAH!!!! I still remember her motherâs pouting face when Lia clung to me like a koala and refused to go to her!! BAHAHAHA!!!"
"Wait I think I have a photo of that; let me show it to you... hehe-"
Just when everyone was eagerly looking at Jameâs phone to see the photo, Lia woke up and snatched the phone in a hurry!
"I am lying here unconscious, and you guys are making fun of me behind my back!"
[Divine Spirit Magic: Phenomena Manipulation: Curse of the messy hairstyle!]
With a pout on her face, Lia used her skill to mess up everyoneâs hairstyle!
[Ding! Your skill, âTrue Immunity,â has been triggered!]
[Ding! You are now immune to phenomena manifestation attacks!]
[Ding! Making a counter-attack through the energy of the phenomena!]
Rio, who was too engrossed in hearing about Liaâs funny incidents from James, couldnât react on time and didnât manage to take off his âTrue Immunityâ; thus, Lia not only didnât manage to mess up his hair, but her own hair got messed up as a counter!
Seeing that weird jumbled-up hairstyle on her head, everyone couldnât hold back their laughter.
"Pffft... You messed up your own hair too!? BAHAHAH!!!!"
"What a hilarious hairstyle that is.. pfftt!!! I canât BAHAHAHA!!! Oh my stomach! BAHAHAHA!!! Ah my stomachâs hurting from laughing too much... hahahah!!!"
Lia, who was already pouting, became even more angry when she saw that even Rio was giggling to himself while trying to hide his face.
"Ugh! If my skill canât do it, I will mess up your hair myself!"
With that said, Lia directly pounced on Rio like a fierce lion pouncing on a defenseless rabbit, and she forcefully messed up his hairstyle.
Being attacked by Liaâs two powerful weapons of mass destruction, Rio was too helpless to resist.
Only after everyoneâs hairstyle got messed up did Lia finally calm down and sat down peacefully with her arms crossed.
"Hmph! This is what you get for talking bad about me behind my back!
Seeing those cute puffed-up cheeks of hers, Rio couldnât resist poking them with his finger, but Lia was obviously not going to forgive him so easily, and she directly bit his finger like a fierce kitten!
At her cute protests Rio could only smile helplessly.
"Ahem, donât be angry we were just talking about your cute adventures of the past..."
"Here, I brought you a souvenir from my trip to the dwarf kingdom!"
Rio took out the bracelet with the design of a moon from his space ring that he had bought for Lia back in Dharheim City during his trip to the spirit realm.
The bracelet looked very exquisite and well-crafted.
Although it wasnât anything expensive or rare, it carried a lot of meaning and thought behind it; thus, its value was not something that could be measured in simple terms.
To Lia it had only been a few days since they separated, but to Rio, it was almost an entire year!
Seeing Lia in the injured state brought a lot of chaos to Rioâs heart, but now that she was back to her usual state and was feeling angry at him, it was the perfect time to make her feel happy by giving her something that showed his honest feelings.
"Hmph, well, itâs not like I am angry or anything; I was just unhappy that you were all enjoying by yourself without me..."
Lia didnât stay angry anymore and stretched out her hand for Rio to put the bracelet on.
"By the way... I missed you..."
As Rio put the bracelet on, Lia looked at him, suddenly grabbed the collar of his shirt, and pulled him towards herself!
And then before Rio could react, she sealed his mouth with her own!
Rioâs eyes widened in shock as he didnât expect Lia to be so straightforward all of a sudden!
The âLipiumâ deficiency of ten months was immediately cured by a single kiss!
Lia only let Rio go after she was satisfied and she even smacked her lips before saying,
"Hehe, delicious~"
Seeing the young couple flirt like that, the onlookers felt like they were being treated like roadside trash and completely ignored.
So they all sighed and sulked to each other in sadness while the young couple flirted with each other openly!
"Sigh, Itâs good to be young... I kind of miss my wife now..."
Hearing Jamesâs words, Kai shrugged his shoulders.
"I am just a humble family cat bruh... why are you telling me that?"
Even the old fairy Nova nodded her head as she looked at Rio and Lia curiously.
"I see... so thatâs how humans make babies... how fascinating..."
