Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 540 You can follow me openly!

The night had already fallen when Yue stirred on the bed. She sleepily reached out to the space next to her, but even after moving her hand up and down, she didn't feel anything.

Instantly, her eyes flew open, and she glanced around to search for the man who should have been by her side, thinking whatever happened yesterday was a dream. Before her heart could sink into the pit of her stomach, she saw the person she was looking for from the corners of her eyes.

Yue let out the breath she didn't even know she was holding and pushed the blanket aside before she moved on the bed to get near the silver-haired man.

He was sitting on the floor before the bed, half-naked, with his eyes tightly closed. The air around him was icy, and Yue could even see a layer of ice beneath him. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she let out a hum and reached out her fingers to touch the space between his shoulders.

Kyle let out a sigh as he felt her fingers move on his body before she started playing with his hair. He had already sensed her movements from the moment she woke up. Opening his eyes, he shifted his body to grab her hand before leaning back to softly brush his lips against hers.

"Done sleeping?"

Yue giggled and moved back.

"It's been a while since I slept for so long. How much time has passed?"

Kyle let go of her hand and reached for his hoodie. He slipped his head inside and pulled it down to cover his body.

"It's night. Do you want to eat something?"

Yue shook her head. She wasn't feeling hungry, but she blinked when Nox's voice sounded in her head.

The lynx expressed his sorrow at how she had left him after meeting the silver-haired human before promptly providing her with a summary of what occurred while she was away and informing her that she has to accompany Wesley and the other elves tomorrow to explore an ancient tomb.

Kyle noticed her quietness, and when she released a deep sigh with a frown, he stood up from the floor and settled down on the bed next to her.

"What's wrong?"

She reached out to straighten the wrinkles in his clothes and told him what Nox had informed her before mentioning that she has to join the elves tomorrow. Kyle thought for a few seconds.

"Do you have to go? You can simply refuse to follow their orders."

Yue shook her head.

"I wish I could, but I can't because Mom and Elli are still on the elven planet. I can't risk putting them in danger."

Kyle nodded and understood she needs to ensure her mother and Elli's safety before going against the elves. After a brief pause, he proposed another alternative.

"Should I follow you secretly? I don't have anything to do right now and just need to gather enough divine energy to advance to the next rank."

Yue chuckled at his words and shook her head. Her eyes sparkled as she grabbed his hand with a smile.

"Why should you follow me secretly? You can follow me openly! It's not like anyone would ask you anything when I tell them that I know you."

He raised his brow. Now that he thought about it, the elves didn't have any enmity with him. Even when he beat up Sebastian, he made sure to hide his face.

They would be wary of him when Yue introduced him to them, but he didn't think they had any reason to attack him as he would be a stranger to them who wasn't even strong enough to pose any threat. In just a few seconds, his mind processed Yue's words, and he nodded.

"Okay. I'm fine with it."

Yue rolled her eyes at him. His eyes were saying he would follow her even if she didn't ask. That's why she couldn't believe how hesitant his words sounded, almost as if she was forcefully dragging him along.

Now that they had settled on their next steps, Yue glanced down at her attire. Her robe appeared creased, and even her hair seemed slightly disheveled. She then shifted her gaze to Kyle and discreetly cleared her throat to get his attention.

"So... you know I need to change my clothes. It won't take long."

Kyle looked at her with a puzzled expression, though a spark of interest flickered in the corner of his eyes.

"You can."

Yue's face flushed with embarrassment. There was no bathroom in the room! That meant she had to change in the room. Why couldn't he understand? She gestured towards the room's exit and pursed her lips.

"I know, but can you step out for a while... you can come back when I'm finished."

Instead of complying with her request, Kyle propped his hand under his chin and fixed her with a penetrating gaze. She flinched as his eyes roamed down, taking in every part of her body. He rubbed his other hand's fingers, and a smirk crept onto his lips.

"Why though? I have already touched everything. There's no need to hide it... you know."

He fell silent as Yue glared at him.

Her face turned a deep shade of crimson when she remembered what they had done before she fell asleep, but even though they had rolled around on the bed for a long time and touched each other, she still felt embarrassed to undress before him!

Kyle sighed with regret when the elven woman kicked him out of the room. He waited outside for a moment but then remembered that he had also gotten a room for himself in the building the day before and knocked on the wooden door.

"Hey, once you are finished, head down to the ground floor. I will be stepping away briefly to change too."

A response came immediately, and after checking the array he had set up around the room one last time, Kyle searched inside his mind space to find the room's key that the man who helped him get Sebastian out of the building had given him the day before and left the area.
