The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 648

In a secluded forest in Dragonia, Sarah suddenly sat up from her sleep, a mysterious smile slowly spreading across her face. She mused, "Well, well, things are moving faster than I expected... The real show is about to begin." The next morning, Xena playfully shoved Felix away. "You jerk, stop it! I need to get to work!"

Thanks to her martial arts training and enhanced stamina, she was able to get up at all- most women would not have been able to move after such an intense first time, especially after a night of passion. "Alright. We'll continue at my place tonight," Felix teased. "Though I seem to remember someone being quite vocal-"

She quickly covered his mouth before he could finish, her face flushed with embarrassment as she rushed out. The memories of last night's passion were still fresh in her mind, making her heart race. Like any woman experiencing intimacy for the first time, she had found herself caught up in the moment. Now that she had finally found her true love, both her body and soul felt completely content. After Xena left, Felix examined himself and noticed that the mark Sarah had left was indeed gone-she had not been lying, after all.

At lunch in a restaurant in Canraville, Jack eyed Felix suspiciously. "Damn! You seem different after your trip to Canraville... Or am I imagining things?"

Felix pushed the whiskey toward Jack with a laugh. "What are you? A woman? You're being too sensitive. Less talking, more drinking!"

Jack smacked his lips thoughtfully. "Come on! You never invite people for drinks at noon. Something big must have happened-spill it, or I'm leaving." Knowing he could not hide anything from his best friend, Felix came clean. "I have a girlfriend now, and we'll probably be getting married soon."

Jack was stunned. "Are you serious? Isn't that moving pretty fast?"
