After hearing Rennes' comforting words, Lifa's emotions stabilized a lot.
Then, the two of them tacitly skipped over this depressing topic that put a damper on their mood.
They started talking about other things.
After some small talk, Rennes noticed a significant change in Lifa's personality compared to before.
The previous Lifa was a lively teenage girl, full of energy and quite outgoing.
But now, Lifa had clearly become much more serene.
She exuded an inexplicable melancholy from head to toe.
She seemed to have matured all of a sudden.
Obviously, the impact of overusing Qi and the cut-off future had deeply affected Lifa.
"It seems that we need to be more careful in searching for treasures that enhance potential," Rennes thought to himself.
In order to alleviate Lifa's sadness, Rennes deliberately went along with her words.
In this situation,
Lifa's desire to confide in someone was instantly activated.
She told Rennes about the pain she suffered when she was severely injured, the despair of overusing her Qi source, and the sadness and frustration of forever being unable to become an advanced hunter and becoming a burden to her sisters.
While listening, Rennes encouraged Lifa with some inspirational words from his past life.
The more they talked, the more they clicked.
In this situation, time flew by like flowing water.
Unconsciously, the moon in the sky was already hanging high in the center.
It was now late at night.
In a few hours, a new day would begin.
At this moment,
Rennes suddenly realized.
Seeing that it was getting late, Rennes immediately prepared to take his leave.
Seeing Rennes getting up to leave.
A hint of shame flashed in Lifa's eyes.
Immediately, she gathered her courage and stood up, saying, "Rennes, would you stay and accompany me?"
After their previous interactions and today's heart-to-heart talk, Rennes had already left a deep impression in her heart.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Rennes was filled with astonishment.
A man and a woman alone in a room... This... This doesn't seem appropriate, right?!
Moreover, he didn't want Lifa to do anything inappropriate due to a momentary impulse of emotions.
Otherwise, they might regret it afterwards and not even be able to remain friends.
"I like you! I fell in love with you at first sight, and I have deeply fallen for you since then..."
Seemingly sensing Rennes' thoughts, Lifa directly hugged Rennes from behind and expressed her feelings.
Listening to this heartfelt confession.
Rennes' originally calm mind was suddenly ignited by some kind of emotion.
The next second.
Rennes turned around and embraced the girl behind him.
Soon, the beautiful and moving melody filled the villa.
This private concert with only the two of them continued until dawn before finally coming to a stop.
...
The next day.
The sun rose in the east.
The gentle morning light shone through the curtains into the rightmost room of the villa.
Feeling this warmth.
Rennes opened his eyes and woke up from his slumber.
"I didn't expect this little girl to be so bold."
Looking at the girl sleeping soundly on his chest, Rennes recalled the intense battle from last night and couldn't help but feel a bit amazed.
It seemed like Rennes could feel his gaze.
She let out a whimper.
Lifa also woke up.
Perhaps just waking up, her mind was a bit fuzzy.
Lifa immediately got up, ready to get dressed and freshen up.
The sunlight shone through the curtains, casting a reflection on the girl.
It was particularly dazzling.
Seeing this unique beauty, Rennes was also stunned.
He noticed Rennes beside him.
Lifa was stunned for a moment, fully awake now.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Understanding the situation.
Lifa blushed immediately, pulled the blanket, and snuggled back onto Rennes.
However.
Her actions clearly ignited Rennes completely.
The next second.
The battle resumed.
The pleasant sound of battle echoed in the room once again.
By the time it ended, it was already two hours later.
"Lifa, marry me."
After finishing breakfast, Rennes suddenly spoke very seriously.
Breaking through that barrier and also obtaining the girl's first time.
He now completely regarded Lifa as his woman.
Upon hearing this.
Lifa, who had buried her head in Rennes' embrace, suddenly looked up.
Her little face was filled with surprise and excitement.
"Rennes, do you really want to marry me?"
Lifa's voice trembled.
In her eyes, Rennes was a nobleman who would never marry a commoner like her.
She had previously thought that being Rennes' unofficial lover would be enough to satisfy her.
Who would have thought...
"Of course it's true!"
"As long as you're willing to be with me."
"Once we return to the Eagle Territory, we'll have a wedding banquet."
Rennes said solemnly.
Making it clear that he wasn't joking.
"I'm willing."
Lifa happily agreed.
After confirming that she would marry Rennes and return to the Eagle Territory with him.
Lifa excitedly started packing her belongings.
After packing everything, she suddenly remembered something.
She immediately found a blank sheepskin paper.
On it, she wrote down her whereabouts, asking Frena and the others not to worry...
She placed the sheepskin paper on the living room table and pressed it down.
Locked the doors and windows.
Rennes and Lifa held hands and left the villa that belonged to the Purple Clematis Adventure Team.
