Chapter 89 The Tenderness and Guilt of Love
Chapter 90: The Entanglement of Love and Guilt (Lilith's Special CG, 4k Chapter)
It's hard to imagine the emotional impact on Rod.
I finally unlocked the special CG that I had wanted most in the past.
However, this time, unlocking it wasn't just about looking at it; it was about experiencing the feeling deeply.
The girl's maid outfit was peeled away like silk, and her almond-shaped eyes showed no decisiveness, only deep affection.
She removed the hair clip from her hair, pursed her lips slightly, raised her hands, and used her fingers to tuck her hair behind her ears.
Then, she slowly took the hairband from her mouth and tied her hair into a single ponytail.
"That way, it'll be easier. Otherwise, you'll pull your hair later." Lilith's voice was calm, but her heart was pounding.
The girl's figure, stripped of its clothing, had become an exquisite work of art under the moonlight.
This is the appearance of a dreamlike starry sky, this is a flawless young girl.
She used her hands to peel off the last black stockings she was wearing on her legs, revealing her pink toes, and then took a few steps out, put her body on Rod's chest, and sat down beside his legs.
The girl handed the initiative to Rhodes.
The next step is for Rhodes to make a choice.
He turned around naturally, placed Lilith on the bed, and leaned over her, looking down at her.
At this moment, Rhodes completely blocked Lilith's view, leaving only his presence.
Joy? Relief? Hope after pain?
Actually, none of that applies. All the girl knows is that she finally has the chance to find her place and will no longer be homeless.
Having fallen from grace to become a mortal, the young man became her strongest support.
He fought his way through thorns and brambles, and for his sake, he annihilated all his enemies into the annals of history.
So—this was what he deserved from the very beginning, and what he longed to do.
"Um—but anyway, I still hope it will be a little gentler." Lilith bit her lip, turned her flushed face away, and still expressed her only request.
In any case, just because someone calls you "master" doesn't mean you can completely disregard her feelings.
"Hmm." Rod nodded slightly.
My feelings are complicated, but it doesn't matter anymore.
If the girl truly loved him, and if the story was truly perfect, then he was now receiving the reward he deserved for his past actions.
And if the girl was deceiving him, at least he still got some benefits back, didn't he?
The fingers gently touched Lilith's soft skin, causing the girl's delicate abdomen to twitch slightly;
"It's a little itchy, don't do that—"
"A slight perception."
"Um--
'
After being touched, Lilith's earlobes turned even redder, and with further emotional stimulation—
A slight, tingling sensation, like a gentle electric current, ran through her lower abdomen, and she even let out a soft moan.
Without realizing it, she straightened her legs, and her eyes became blurry.
Omit.
The next morning, the dark clouds in the sky had completely disappeared.
Today is a perfect sunny day, and at least for Rhodes, he has let go of many of the shackles in his heart.
He felt the girl pressed against him, his eyes glancing slightly.
The temperature was real; Lilith's chest rose and fell gently with her breath, her sleep so deep and peaceful.
"That's a bit unbelievable."
Rhodes turned his gaze back to the sky.
He never imagined the story would turn out this way, nor did he expect that Lilith's special CG would eventually be unlocked.
At this moment, the slight doubt in his heart had almost completely disappeared.
The story is basically over; in fact, even without Natalie's admission, Rhodes already understood the truth.
Because Lilith's performance was too perfect, and the love she showed him was too real.
Acting? A young girl's real, yearning desire for love is something that can never be acted out.
Action, dedication, physical sacrifice —
At this moment, Rhodes was truly deeply moved.
Because he recalled what had happened in the past few days, he resolutely rejected Lilith and threw her down viciously.
He resisted her coming and denied her feelings.
He knew he wasn't wrong; after all, the misunderstanding and mistakes were caused by Lilith herself, and he had indeed missed out on that love in the moment.
But the way Lilith's clumsiness was displayed made him truly feel sorry for her.
There should be punishment for doing wrong, and reward for doing right.
The girl genuinely liked him, and her regret was real.
I admit I went too far the other day.
"Hmm————" Lilith's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she turned around as soon as she felt the sunlight on her face.
However, at that moment, when she felt Rhodes' body temperature disappear, even though she was still asleep, the fear instantly woke her up.
"Rhodes—" She turned around, her face filled with panic, but she froze when she saw that Rhodes was still beside her.
"What's wrong?" Rhodes asked, puzzled by Lilith's sudden awakening.
"No, it's nothing." She slowly lay back down and shook her head.
"It's about time to get up," Rod said gently, propping himself up and pulling on the clothes beside him.
"The matter isn't over yet; we need to rescue Ivina."
"Rhodes—" Lilith's gentle expression softened slightly when she got down to business. "What is Cecilia's objective?"
"She was also reborn," Rhodes said calmly.
"Yes, I can guess that, which makes it even more troublesome." Lilith pulled the blanket up and leaned against the backrest.
"She said she had prepared a surprise for me at Ivina's coming-of-age ceremony, so I'm afraid Ivina's ceremony will be quite troublesome."
Lilith would never ask, "Why not just take Ivina with you?" because she understood that this was the only clear objective of the witch's operation. If they missed the opportunity to eliminate the witch at Ivina's coming-of-age ceremony, dealing with Phillips's problem would be delayed for a very long time.
But the strength of the enemy makes the crisis seem so terrifying.
The reborn enemy has made perfect preparations—
"Our trump card is Professor Merrick. Even if I summon people from the capital, they can't get here so quickly."
"I'm still too weak. Even at level three, I still can't kill those leader-level witches. But all things considered, I can kill all the level three witches by myself."
"Therefore, the remaining enemies that have been upgraded four times will be left to you and Your Grace."
"As for Cecilia, that's for Professor Merrick to handle."
"Rhode." At this moment, Lilith slowly spoke, her eyes fixed on Rhode, "Have you ever considered that there might be a way to completely suppress the enemy?"
"Hmm?" Rhodes looked slightly puzzled.
"It's true that the [Calamity Spirit]'s strength has fallen to the [Heroic Rank], but—what if we raised her level back to that of the [Eternal Sage] who has been promoted seven times?"
These words were like a heavy stone that had struck Rod's heart.
"The Eternal Sage, the pinnacle of combat power on the surface of the empire —"
"If we get a teammate like that, then whatever Cecilia does next will be a massacre."
"It's like this—but the problem is," Rod hesitated for a moment, "can we help Professor Merrick regain his strength?"
I had to help Ivina overcome her final inner hurdle within a day, and I didn't have time—"
"We have to give it a try. We can't just let Cecilia surprise us; we have to surprise Cecilia too."
I will never allow myself to be manipulated or played like this.
Lilith's eyes were utterly calm. "It's time to prepare for the final counterattack, Rhodes."
"Or rather—it's time for us to step back onto the world stage in our strongest and most perfect form."
"There is no problem we cannot solve, and no trouble we cannot overcome."
"It is utterly foolish to place our hopes on the enemy's loosening of their grip, and besides—I don't believe that we, standing at the top of the world, are incapable of repairing damage from a mere seven upgrades."
Lilith threw off the blanket and sat up.
"Hiss." A sudden sharp pain in her thigh muscles made her jerk.
Because when doing that kind of thing, you have to completely contract the defense mechanism of the divine seed, so the stinging pain in your muscles is a real soreness.
Lilith didn't want Rhodes to think she was playing the victim, so she bit her lip and silently endured the pain.
She lightly pounded her legs, used the power of the divine seed to repair her body, and then picked up the blue star dress she had placed aside and began to put it on.
But no matter how well she tried to hide, Rhodes still managed to spot her.
"Does it hurt?" Rhodes walked over from the other side of the bed and leaned against Lilith.
"It's alright," Lilith shook her head. "It'll be fine after a short while."
After saying that, she lowered her face and pulled the black stockings up from her feet, but at the same time, there was still something she wanted to say in her heart.
"Rhodes—have you forgiven me even a little bit?"
She still asked the question.
She wasn't entirely sure of Rhodes's opinion, nor could she be certain that Rhodes's willingness to share his future plans with her meant he had forgiven her, so in the end she still spoke up.
Rhodes paused slightly.
A hint of helplessness was hidden beneath his eyes.
"We've made up for now. You don't need to talk to me in that humble tone anymore."
"————!" Lilith's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her eyes to stare at Rhodes.
"real?"
"real."
"I—" Lilith's words caught in her throat.
"Don't cry, and don't say anything."
Rod slowly bent down and placed his hand on her head. Yes.
Just like they used to be.
A young man is a young woman's perfect protector, allowing her to freely express her desires and always staying by her side.
"I, I————" How can the urge to cry be suppressed?
The release of this heavy burden in her heart had brought her to the brink of despair countless times—
Tears were falling drop by drop. She lowered her face and covered her face with her hands.
Because her nasal passages were blocked, she could not breathe, and she opened her mouth and breathed out with a slight tremor.
"I told you not to cry." Rod had a terrible headache; he knew this would happen.
"I want to be with you, I want to be with you forever and ever!"
With sobs choked in her throat, the girl leaned against Rhodes's clothes and hugged him tightly.
Sobbing and erratic breathing escaped from within the clothes: "Ah—"
"This is outrageous! How can you call yourself the Star God if you go out like this? If they see the Star God like this, they'll probably all move away."
"I—" Lilith shook her head, choking back tears, "I can't help it—"
"However, there's one thing, Lilith," Rhodes said calmly, "in this life, I will ascend to godhood myself, no matter what."
He cupped Lilith's face in his hands and gazed at her intently: "As long as I become a god, as long as I grant you this status, then the things that happened in the past will never happen again."
"I will become the most terrifying god in the world, and you will be unable to escape my control."
"If you're still willing to stay by my side after all this—"
Lilith didn't answer, but instead broke free from Rhodes's grasp and clung to him tightly again.
He cried to himself, feeling the return of his emotions, but he ignored all the so-called benefits.
"I don't care about those things —"
Tick-tock—
That sentence ended everything.
Rhodes lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Okay."
The two walked through the Duke's mansion.
:
From the west corridor, you walk into the area reserved for guests.
Their eyes were utterly calm. At the moment when their hearts, their sense of purpose, returned, the driving force within each of them reached an immeasurable level.
In other words, each of them may make foolish decisions, but when the two of them discuss and decide together, it becomes the most perfect strategy.
Their past was marked by constantly rethinking their approach, eliminating the possibility of errors, and ascending to the world in the most terrifying and oppressive way.
Rhodes needs to become stronger, and he also needs to clean up this mess.
It doesn't matter what changes occur in this life, or how the story unfolds.
His Outer God nature destined him to easily carve a bloody path through this chaotic story.
Neither the Dragon God, Cecilia, nor the sea creatures—nor the hidden enemies—could stop him.
Now is the time to pull the story out of the mire and take it back into our own hands—and it's time to make the always self-righteous Cecilia pay the price.
Let Professor Merrick regain his peak strength, then tie Cecilia up and control her by his side, giving her a harsh lesson. In this way, the so-called enemy will no longer exist.
Rhodes understood perfectly well that even though he no longer possessed absolute power, he was still several times more terrifying than he had been yesterday.
He stood at Professor Merrick's door and gently knocked. "Professor Merrick, please open the door."
