Chapter 476 : Do You Want to Confess to Me Too?

Viloti couldn't wait for Felyn. The divine power within her was becoming uncontrollable, so she released it ahead of schedule.

A dazzling beam of light, carrying a world-destroying, scorching energy, shot towards the forest on the back mountain not far away like two roaring fire dragons, accompanied by a piercing shriek as it tore through the air.

A massive, charred crater was instantly blasted into the depths of the forest. The trees were incinerated, leaving behind only scorched earth that billowed with green smoke.

This was Viloti's divine art from the Church of the Scorching Sun, "Final Eulogy."

The art's method of attack was to channel the power of the Scorching Sun Goddess to overload and explode in a target area.

It was rumored that after one's affinity with the god increased, "Final Eulogy" would also cause the dead in the target area to trigger an even larger explosion.

Divine arts could be upgraded.

Each time a divine art was leveled up, its power would increase, and it would also gain an additional effect.

The additional effects of divine arts were not fixed. Everyone's understanding and thoughts about their god were different, so the resulting additional effects would also vary.

What Viloti had just released was merely a first-tier divine art, but its power was already immense.

The attack power of the Church of the Scorching Sun was top-tier throughout the entire world.

It was only because its overall capabilities were lacking and its endurance was relatively poor that it hadn't become a mainstream church.

But Viloti, unexpectedly, was a perfect fit for this church. After all, she was a pink-haired little girl who loved to blast people away.

"Viloti, next time you release it, can you shout something?"

Felyn looked at the deep crater in the distance, still emitting black smoke, and couldn't help but dream.

With this level of explosion, it was a real shame not to yell "Explo~sion!"

"Felyn, you didn't manage to copy it?"

"Yeah, my divine art level should still be relatively weak right now. I'll most likely have to be right next to Viloti to copy her divine art."

During the battle between the Saintess of Order and Herlomir, Herlomir had been able to copy the Saintess's divine arts from a distance.

But Felyn couldn't do that yet.

"It couldn't be that you have to be kissing to copy it, could it?" Daiyi raised an eyebrow, immediately thinking of the worst-case scenario. "Is your god really that twisted?"

"Ki... Kissing?" Viloti's shoulders trembled when she heard Daiyi's words.

She had just expended a large amount of affinity by releasing the divine art, so her chest was heaving violently, and her breathing was extremely rapid.

Viloti was being supported by Felyn, lying in his arms and looking up at him. "Felyn... to copy the divine art, do we need to kiss?"

In her heart, Viloti praised Felyn's god. What a great god!

It would be even better if there was a condition that he could only kiss one specific person. That way, Felyn wouldn't be a philanderer.

"I don't think that's necessary, right?" Felyn was also a little unsure.

"Th-Then let's try again." Viloti struggled to stand up from Felyn's embrace, her eyes looking at him with determination. "We just need to... kiss while releasing the divine art, right?"

A blush crept onto the young girl's face. The tip of her tongue swept across her rosy lips, which glistened seductively in the sunlight, like a peach that made one want to take a bite.

"Miss Viloti, although I can understand your thoughts very well," Daiyi walked to Viloti's side, "your current physical condition doesn't allow you to release a second divine art. It's better to rest for a bit. There's always tomorrow."

"Ah..." Her eyes dimmed considerably. She would have to wait another day to kiss Felyn...

Wait a minute. Why did she have to wait to kiss Felyn?

She could kiss him right now.

Felyn felt the little head in his arms shift restlessly and knew what she was thinking. He tapped her on the head with his hand.

"Ouch..." Viloti clutched her head and lay obediently in Felyn's arms, putting away her little scheme.

Seeing such an intimate scene between the two, Daiyi unconsciously fiddled with the hem of her skirt, then silently turned away.

"Since the divine art was a success, let's head back for now." She walked ahead alone, her gaze occasionally glancing back at the two behind her.

Viloti was currently clinging tightly to Felyn's arm, unwilling to let go.

"Viloti, what on earth did Daiyi say to you?" Felyn brought up the previous topic again. Before they practiced the divine art, Daiyi must have said something to Viloti.

Her amber eyes glanced at Daiyi's back, then looked up at Felyn. "Miss Daiyi just told me that I could learn the divine art in advance, and also said that it would help Felyn. But she didn't say how it would help you."

Daiyi hadn't told Viloti about the special nature of Felyn's divine arts. She felt it was better to let Felyn explain such an important matter himself.

"I want to help you too, Felyn. Seeing that Adelina can take care of your daily life, Daiyi can teach you divine arts, and Zervanie can play with you and go to dungeons, but right now... I'm the only one who can't help you with anything."

Felyn ruffled the little pink-haired girl's head and comforted her, "Who says so? Just by appearing before me every day, you're already helping me by making my mood better."

Viloti shook her head, her long pink hair swinging behind her. "I don't want to be a mascot or a vase. I want to do something substantial for you. But in reality, I can't really help with much at all, just letting you copy my divine art."

Felyn's copying had no effect on the original user, so rather than helping, it was more that Viloti had accepted Felyn in her heart, allowing him to copy her divine chain.

Felyn looked at the persistence in her amber eyes and nodded. "I wasn't prepared enough today. Let's work hard together from now on."

"Mhm!"

At the hot spring inn.

It was already close to noon, and in the inn's restaurant, Valeria was undoubtedly the most eye-catching person.

Today, she wore a grayish-blue dress with a brooch pinned to her chest.

Her hime-cut, misty-gray long hair made her face look even more noble and exquisite, as if she were a princess.

"Miss Valeria, many people in the restaurant are secretly looking at you."

Valeria just smiled faintly at the flattery from the girls around her. She tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing a limited-edition Seraphina earring.

Her gaze was also roaming around the restaurant. She was looking for someone.

Last night, the light might have been too dim, preventing Felyn from seeing her face clearly.

She had woken up early today to dress up, all to surprise Felyn.

"Felyn, you go ahead and order. This place is too slow with the food. I'm going back to take a shower."

"Felyn, then I'll go back and wake up Adelina and the others."

"Okay."

Felyn's voice came from nearby, making Valeria immediately sit up straight.

She propped her chin on her hand and puffed out her chest.

Valeria had deliberately chosen a seat near the restaurant entrance so that Felyn would definitely notice her when he passed by.

Sure enough, as Felyn walked past the restaurant, his gaze fell upon the exquisite beauty sitting by the entrance.

However, Felyn didn't greet her, pretending not to see her.

"Felyn."

Under the watchful eyes of several other cute girls from the Church of Reincarnation, Valeria took the initiative and called out Felyn's name.

She wasn't stupid. Acting reserved at this moment and waiting for Felyn to greet her first would be truly foolish.

She had to take the offensive.

Felyn's leg, which had stepped into the restaurant, retracted. He then took a few steps back, turned around, and left, giving Valeria no chance to meet and talk.

"Felyn, wait..."

Valeria quickly stood up and reached out to grab Felyn's shoulder.

"I came to apologize to you. I had a little too much to drink yesterday, so I lost control of my emotions a bit."

"I know. I accept your apology. Is there anything else, Miss Valeria?" Felyn nodded and politely pushed her hand away.

"Um... let's have lunch together today, shall we? I have a lot I want to talk to you about, like our past..."

"No, I have other plans. Miss Valeria, I wish you a pleasant day."

Valeria quickly grabbed Felyn's hand, not letting him leave.

Felyn looked at Valeria's hand and said, word by word, "Miss Valeria, you keep pestering me. Do you like me? Are you going to confess to me?"

"Eh?" She froze on the spot, her misty-gray long hair flying about in a fluster.

"If you're going to confess to me, I'll listen now, and then I will reject your confession." Felyn straightened the wrinkles Valeria had made on his clothes and looked at her calmly.

Felyn's voice wasn't loud, but it was heard clearly by Valeria and the girls around them.

Valeria's cheeks were burning red. She didn't understand why Felyn would suddenly say such harsh words at a time like this.

The metallic taste on her tongue made Valeria's head buzz. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer his question.

"Felyn, what do you mean by that? I just wanted to have a simple chat with you."

"But I don't want to."

Felyn let out a soft laugh and shook his head at Valeria.

Reflected in her golden eyes was Felyn's departing figure. Valeria couldn't help but frown, her pupils locked tightly on him, her breathing becoming rapid.

What did he mean by that?!

Does he think I like him now?

Does he think I'm clinging to him like some kind of simp?!

What will other people think of me? Me, the dignified daughter of a Church of Reincarnation elder, a top student from the Royal Capital district, would actually be your simp, Felyn?

I'm really angry now, Felyn!

"Miss Valeria..." one of the girls beside her couldn't help but ask, "I think I've heard this Mr. Felyn's name before. Is he Felyn Sorester?"

"Hm? It's him," Valeria said irritably.

The girl leaned close to Valeria's ear and whispered, "Miss Valeria, I heard a rumor in the church that Felyn is actually... an illegitimate son of the royal family."
