Lightning Is the Only Way

The three of them returned to the Purist Sect, and Liam left.

Meanwhile, Stella and Gravis went back to their house in the Purist Sect.

They hadn't talked much on the way back since they hadn't much to talk about.

However, as soon as they entered their home…

Crash!

Stella collapsed!

Gravis looked with shock at Stella and inspected her thoroughly with his Spirit Sense.

Yet, nothing was wrong.

"Gravis," Stella said weakly as she took heavy breaths.

"What's going on?" Gravis asked nervously.

"I have been afflicted with a deadly poison," she said.

Gravis narrowed his eyes.

"By whom?" he asked coldly.

"Ehm," Stella hesitated. "I didn't notice them. They just threw this nasty poison at me and left."

Gravis lifted an eyebrow. "So, you're saying there's someone powerful enough that can hide from you and inflict you with a poison, even though the Ancestor of the Nine Elements Sect and Liam were right beside you?" he asked.

"Yes," Stella answered, becoming red in the face. "However, their identity is not important. What's important is that you need to cure the poison."

Gravis blinked a couple of times without amusement.

He didn't buy that story at all.

"And what am I supposed to do?" Gravis asked with a lifted brow.

"The poison is called the Nine Springs Rose," Stella said, "and it's a poison that only works on women. It needs the essence of a man to be healed. Gravis, you must help me, or I will die!"

Gravis was a bit taken aback.

Some seconds of silence passed.

"Is this some kind of new roleplaying?" he asked.

Stella didn't answer and became a bit red in the face.

Gravis nodded solemnly.

"I understand," he said with seriousness. "I am still a pure, young man, and I have never been with a woman before. Yet, for my lady's sake, I am willing to sacrifice my virginity."

"You're lucky I'm magnanimous!"

Stella had to hold back her laughter.

And with this, another age of happiness and love started between Stella and Gravis.

Obviously, Stella had been joking.

She had read some stories in her downtime, and she thought the idea of such aphrodisiac poisons to be so incredibly stupid that she wanted to act out this fantasy with Gravis.
