Chapter 286 - Was That Half-Step Back for Real?

'...Hair gel?'

'Knows how to play, huh...'

Ye Li enjoyed the silky caress of Medusa's hair, a different kind of stimulation altogether.

As things deepened.

His wandering hand began to venture toward her most vulnerable spot———

"Mmnn~"

…..

Late into the night.

Whoosh~———

Ye Li took Medusa and teleported to a building near a prison on Oahu.

"Medusa!"

Crystal cried out in delight, throwing herself into her sister's arms, hugging her tightly. "It's so great that you're okay. You don't know—Triton and Gorgon are both dead. I was really afraid something would happen to you too… you didn't run into the people Maximus sent to Earth, did you?"

"Actually we did…"

Medusa gently stroked Crystal's hair. "Thanks to you sending Ye... mm... brother-in-law to find me, he dealt with all those assassins."

Though she had lost her memory, regarding her sister, most of it had already come back.

"I see."

The little princess stepped out of her sister's embrace, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ye Li. "Ye, thank you!"

Saying so.

She stepped lightly, then leapt into Ye Li's arms, passionately pressing her pink lips to him with noisy kisses, "Muwa I love you to death~"

[『Princess Crystal』 Crystalia Amaquelin 『Connection Quest』 complete]

[Base physique stacked with 『Princess Crystal – Crystalia Amaquelin Template』]

[Here it comes...]

As Ye Li responded to the princess, he felt the new template loading into him———

The physique enhancement was straightforward. The real prize was the mastery of the four elements: [Earth], [Water], [Wind], [Fire].

[Earth] and [Fire] added new domains to his divine authority.

As for [Water] and [Wind], even though his [Celestial Authority] already covered them, this template refined his control to a much greater precision.

…..

Ye Li immersed himself in the sensations.

Meanwhile.

Medusa, watching her sister being so affectionate, had a strange sparkle in her ruby eyes. Her long legs shifted slightly, as if faintly aroused...

Ye Li's sharply defined lips were not only irresistible to Crystal—she longed for them too....

…..

Black Bolt, seeing Princess Crystal so intimate with a mere Earthling, frowned.

But he could say nothing. He could only walk over toward his fiancée, Medusa.

Step, step.....

Medusa was enjoying the sight of her sister with her "brother-in-law." But when she heard footsteps approaching, she turned and looked at that all-too-familiar face.

Black Bolt, seeing what looked like soft affection in Medusa's eyes, thought it was stirred by their reunion—and after seeing Ye Li with Crystal, perhaps jealousy.

His eyes shifted. He realized he had indeed neglected Medusa before.

So, he stepped forward, intending to kiss her.

He wanted to seize this chance and claim his fiancée's first kiss.

After so long apart, even his wooden brain had sparked with an idea.

Yet...

Medusa pressed her lips together and, without a trace, stepped back half a step....

Black Bolt froze.

Was that half-step back for real?

Such a small move, but it hurt so much.

He thought it was a fluke, refused to believe it, and stepped forward again———

But Medusa stepped back once more...

He advanced.

She retreated.

He advanced.

She retreated.

"Hey~"

Until Crystal's back bumped against Medusa's back. She turned around, puzzled, "Medusa, what are you doing?"

Only then did Black Bolt stop, using sign language to ask in confusion: [Isn't it okay?]

Medusa lightly tapped her lips with her finger, replying in sign: [No.]

In her heart, she secretly thought: [Sorry...this no longer belongs to you...Blackagar...]

[Why not...] Black Bolt waved his hands furiously, wanting to press further.

But Crystal interjected, "Hey, what are you two doing?"

The little princess, having just been kissing her lover happily, was not pleased at being interrupted.

"...."

Medusa and Black Bolt both fell silent, neither wanting to speak of what had just happened....

"Forget it."

Crystal saw the two monarchs had something on their minds, so she turned the subject.

"Let's hurry and meet up with Karnak, then plan how to strike back at the Moon!"

…..

Huen~

Ye Li, with Crystal and the other two, in the blink of an eye arrived at Karnak's marijuana field.

Black Bolt, seeing Ye Li's ability, now regarded him more seriously....

But.

When they saw the graves of Triton and Gorgon.

Blackagar Boltagon's eyes filled with rage, forgetting even Medusa's earlier rejection. He only wanted to rush back to the Moon and punish his vile brother!

"Huh? Where's Karnak?"

Crystal looked around but saw no sign of him.

Walking over to a large tree, she suddenly screamed, "Oh no! Karnak! He...!"

They saw————

Hanging upside down from the tree.

Karnak's body was battered, covered in wounds, and he had already breathed his last.

"Karnak is dead too?"

Crystal was utterly baffled, "What happened here?"

Just then Ye Li's divine sense stirred, flashing an image in his mind.

He waved his hand, releasing red mist of Chaos Magic, projecting the scene for Crystal to see————

In the vision.

Karnak was dealing with Reno's corpse, burying it carelessly.

But behind him, Auran's corpse twitched faintly.

From the two bullet holes in her forehead, a pair of golden bullets were slowly pushed out....

It turned out, Auran had regenerative powers after all.

But her healing ability was weak, more of an active skill. If triggered passively while unconscious, recovery took much longer.

And the process consumed her cellular telomere length. Once exhausted, the ability would fail entirely.
