It took her a while to realize that the poor man was paralyzed, unable to move an inch due to the wet sand weighing on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think Ren is doing well. It's good that Evie is with him,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. I'm grateful to Evie for being there for Ren,\" Leonel responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is still teaching her how to swim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonel looked over at the horizon and yawned. That sun was blistering, but why was he feeling comfortable? \"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah.\" Isolde covered her mouth when she noticed that Evie had lost her bra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she having a wardrobe malfunction right at this very moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the panic in Isolde's voice, Leonel asked, \"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His initial reaction was to get up but once again realized that he couldn't. So he stretched his eyes towards Ren's location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't look.\" Isolde was quick to react and threw the sand in her hand to Leonel's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch! Sand! There's sand in my eyes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oops . . . sorry. Wait here.\" Isolde scooped a handful of water and splashed it on Leonel's face, causing the latter to flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agh! My eyes! It burns! Isolde, that's salt water!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde bit her lips and guiltily apologized, \"S-sorry. I'll get you fresh water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cleaning Leonel's eyes with a bottle of water, Isolde patted his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you still alive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonel opened his eyelids. His eyes were so red that they looked worse than sore eyes. He couldn't even keep his eyes open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\" he pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde awkwardly laughed and said, \"Don't be too angry. Here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde placed her sunglasses over to Leonel's eyes and nodded to herself. \"There. How do you feel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You . . . you know what . . . I think I feel a little–ouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-something is biting my leg! Get me out of here!\" Leonel wanted to cry. He felt pain but couldn't do anything about it. This was the worst kind of torture!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Egh? Is it a crab?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you excited? Get me out of here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde had buried him too deep to even left a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"R-right!\" Isolde quickly dug into the area where she thought Leonel's legs were, attempting to get that crab first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-hoi!\" Leonel burst red when Isolde was digging in the wrong area, but his throat was too dry, and it hurt him to talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahuh! I got you!\" Isolde's eyes sparkled when she noticed the sand twitching on top of a bulging area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cupped it with her hand and happily announced to Leonel, \"Leo, I got the crab! Don't worry. I'll get it off you right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\". . .\" Leonel's chin trembled. His head was bursting from heat and from how hard his heart was beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes tight and uttered in a weak voice, \"T-that's not a crab . . .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Isolde tilted her head when she saw that Leonel was red all over and shifting his head away from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde repeatedly shifted her eyes between her hand and Leonel's face. Unknowingly, her hand squeezed the bulge, making Leonel let out a moan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde gasped and retrieved her hand lightning-fast. Her whole body was burning as she stared at her hand while her fingers were twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder it felt too big for a beach crab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde shook her head and shot to her feet, and she bolted away from Leonel in a hurry, screaming, \"I'm sorry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-hoi! I-Isolde, don't run! Get me out of here first! Something is still biting my leg!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After escaping from Leonel, Isolde caught her breath in a bar. She ordered their strongest drink and drank it with one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One more!\" she shouted and slammed the shot glass on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo. Isolde, you're here too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde flicked her attention at Sky, who just popped out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, he looked cute with a grin on his face. He could light up the dark sky with just a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agh . . .\" Isolde brushed her hair behind her ear. \"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he saw her being unladylike again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde didn't care about what Sky thought anymore, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky only smiled and sat beside Isolde. \"Yeah, well . . . I heard that you're here so . . .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde's heart skipped a beat. \"W-what do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he confessing at this moment when her entire mind was a mess because of what just happened with Leonel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky licked his lips and fixed himself on his chair to face Isolde. \"Well. . . I know that we have broken up before, but . . .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky grabbed Isolde's hand on the table and captured her elusive gaze. \"I always wanted to tell you that . . . I never stopped thinking about you. I don't even have a girlfriend ever since we broke up . . . maybe we can start again . . . you know, maybe dinner later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde's system was in shock from what Sky told her. She didn't expect that he would say that after all what happened in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But . . .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde pulled her hand from his grasp. \"You told me before that you wanted to break up because I'm more of a man than a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky rubbed the back of his head. \"Augh . . . that . . .\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I agree with you,\" she said. \"And I think that as long as I'm like this, you'll still break up with me in the end. I don't want to change, so . . . I'm sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky's smile fell when he realized that Isolde wouldn't get back to him even after he lowered himself and sweet-talked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately felt offended and smiled condescendingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you thinking? I only feel sorry for you. I'm only asking you out to dinner and not asking to get back together. Don't think too highly of yourself. You're not that beautiful, Isolde. I can easily replace you if I wanted to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isolde couldn't speak for a moment before her face turned serious. \"Don't slap into my face that you could replace me because I could smack right back at you the words, 'I had loved you, but you were never a loss.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then drank another shot of tequila and marched back to where Leonel was, leaving Sky gasping for a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>",1090,"2026-06-09T06:03:18.909Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ea5ee0a96a4b6d8b74d7112ef418314b912c0a83c9f95f6ef923506b461b0a1","mmorpg-rebirth-as-an-alchemist-chapter-440","mmorpg-rebirth-as-an-alchemist-chapter-438",910,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmmorpg-rebirth-as-an-alchemist-cover.jpg"]
