Chapter 476

Nyx was teasing him and then backing off? Not a chance.

+83)

Kian’s thin lips pursed tight, his breathing heavy. His deep eyes locked onto Nyx, as if daring her to face the consequences of igniting his passion. Yet he couldn’t read her mind, unsure if she was really willing.

Even with their dual cultivation partner contract, he’d never force her.

After a long silence, a sudden wave from pleasure of teasing him surged through the Soul–Connecting Bracelet on his wrist. Kian froze, then looked up to catch the mischievous smile tugging at Nyx’s lips.

He almost laughed. ‘Figures,‘ he thought to himself.

His large, elegant hand snagged Nyx’s ankle, the softness of her skin beneath his fingers. With a gentle pull, he shifted her position. Trapped beneath him, Nyx curled her toes, looking both delicate and helpless.

“Let me help, Nykie,” Kian said. His face stayed calm, but his voice had lost its usual cool edge.

Cultivation did ease fatigue, and with Kian’s help, it worked twice as well. That’s why Nyx wasn’t completely worn out, but she still sprawled like a lazy rabbit, her fur seeming to melt in the imagined midday sun, unwilling to move.

Kian sat beside her, using a tiny comb to smooth her fur. Her ears twitched and flattened backward at the touch. She was so cute it hurt. His self–control crumbled. After a few seconds of struggle, he couldn’t resist brushing his fingertips over her fur.

The next moment, the angry bunny latched onto his wrist, kicking and squirming. She only stopped her zero–damage tantrum when Hazel’s and Kyle’s voices drifted from outside.

That morning, disciples from the Sword Guild and Herbal Valley had arrived. Elder Cyan sent them to fetch Nyx for guest greetings.

Ever since Nyx saved the Violet Soul Grass, Herbal Valley’s elders had been eyeing her. They’d brought piles of spirit plants as gifts, practically trying to steal her away. But Elder Cyan chased them out before they could say more than a word.

Among the guests was Warren Mitchell, head of the Sword Guild. An old friend of Elder Cyan’s, he’d led his team to the Celestial for the Sect Competition and dropped by to catch up.
