Lily's face flushed immediately. "Goodness! Goodness! I forgot my husband could actually read my mind!" She chuckled and cleared her throat. "Am... am fine, no worries... it's... ah," she couldn't finish her words when a comfortable moan escaped her mouth.
"How are you feeling now?" Webby inquired, gently massaging her waist with skill.
Lily closed her eyes, enjoying the complimentary massage. "Good... just good," she replied.
Webby smiled in satisfaction and continued his work.
Liam's gaze was lifeless as he observed how Webby pleased Lily. "Why are they all so good at capturing Beauty's attention? Is this the result of their studies?" he pondered. "Seems like I will have to start studying too," he resolved with determination.
Webby cast him a glance but remained silent.
As Webby continued massaging Lily, she let out pleasing moans, which had another effect on him—his hands gently moved from her waist upward toward her breasts, massaging them perfectly.
Lily was already caught up in the moment; she didn't resist and surprisingly felt herself awakening once again.
"Press... press a little harder. Yes," she moaned, her hands supporting Webby's.
Webby leaned forward and gently kissed her neck, igniting the fire of lust within Lily, while his hands continued their skilled work.
Lily's moans grew louder while Webby, already engrossed in the moment, became even rougher.
Liam, lost in thought, suddenly heard Lily's moan and snapped back to reality. He looked at her and witnessed the scene; immediately, he flared up and was about to take action when suddenly, a pair of strong hands seized Webby's hands on Lily's breasts, halting his actions.
Webby frowned and looked up to see who dared to interrupt his fun, locking eyes with Devin, whose yellow eyes were filled with deep resentment.
Lily, already burning with desire and ready to leap into the moment, suddenly felt cold all over and regained her senses, turning to look at Devin.
"Devin!" she called softly, her beautiful ocean-blue eyes filling with tears due to the abrupt interruption.
Devin looked down at Lily and dragged Webby's hands away from her breasts. He knelt in front of her and helped her adjust her dress. "You just woke up; come eat something," he stated, lifting her in his arms.
"Give her to me," Liam interjected, blocking Devin's path immediately.
Devin glanced at Liam. "You were here just now, watching him take advantage of Angel—what did you do?" His brows knitted dangerously.
"I… I…"
"Why do you frame it that way, Devin? Webby is my husband too; he didn't take advantage of me," Lily interrupted immediately.
Devin looked at Lily and nodded. "I heard you. Fill your stomach first," he responded before walking away.
Liam gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on Webby. He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly, a web sealed his lips, rendering him unable to articulate his thoughts.
"I'm already burning right now; I don't want to hear your ranting, so please shut up," Webby remarked and walked away.
"Mmmmm! Mmmm!" Liam tried to speak, but he couldn't. Even using his powers didn't help him peel the web away; he could only curse Webby inwardly.
...
"Um... I think we should relocate," Lily suddenly suggested. "I have a feeling that something bad will happen if we stay in the peacock tribe any longer," she added.
"Angel, you might as well stay in my ice palace; no one can hurt you here, I promise," Grant proposed, a sweet smile illuminating his face as he gazed at Lily.
"Can you be less selfish? If Angel stays here, can her body withstand the cold? Your palace has been getting colder every minutes; if she stays here, she will freeze to death," Malik's voice echoed, filled with annoyance.
Grant thought for a moment before nodding. "I suppose you make some sense," he admitted.
"How about we go to the Frog Tribe? That place is safe too," Art suggested.
"Mmm…mmm," Liam raised his hand, eager to speak.
Lily looked at Liam and couldn't help but chuckle. "Webby, could you please let my baby speak?" she asked with an adorably cute expression.
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, but then confusion painted their faces.
"Angel, why did you call Liam 'baby'?" they all queried in unison.
Lily's mouth twitched slightly. "This… I call him my baby because he… he sometimes acts like one," she replied, a smile adorning her face.
Everyone nodded, and with just a snap of Webby's fingers, the web over Liam's mouth vanished.
"It's gone," Liam murmured and chuckled. His gaze fell on Webby. "You think..."
"You're still going to talk, huh? Tell me, is the lesson not enough?" Lily interjected, her gaze fixed on Liam.
Liam paused immediately and smiled awkwardly. "That's not it... that's not it, really. I just want to thank him, that's all," he modified his words quickly.
"That's more like it," Lily retorted.
"Darn you, Webby!" Liam cursed inwardly.
Webby, who heard Liam's curse, flashed him a provocative smile, while Liam could only clench his fists, feeling powerless to act.
"I think we should build our own house. We can find land that isn't close to any tribe and construct our home. This way, we can live well without any trouble. What do you think?" Lily proposed, looking at everyone.
Everyone nodded in agreement. "As expected, Angel is very knowledgeable," Angus praised with a proud smile on his face.
Lily beamed with satisfaction. "Alright, since you all agree, we should build our own house then."
Once again, everyone nodded in accord.
"Right, I haven't seen Star since I woke up. Where is she?" Lily inquired.
"She left a while ago. Now that you mention it, it's indeed been too long since she's gone. Perhaps she has returned home," Liam replied.
Lily's brows knitted tightly. "Why am I suddenly feeling as if someone important has left me? My heart is empty, It couldn't be that she's in danger, right? Why can't I see any vision about her?" Panic was evident on her face as she thought.
"Let's go back home first," Lily stated.
Everyone nodded, and Malik carried Lily on his back.
