NFBE Chapter 157
Chapter 157
Luo Xi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She took a deep breath, gently removed the large hand across her waist, and lifted the quilt, trying not to make any noise.
Ivan's breathing was steady, and he seemed to be still asleep. Rosie got up quietly, stepped on the soft moonlight on the carpet, and walked towards the terrace on the top of the tree.
After Rosie got up, Ivan opened his eyes on the big bed. His light-colored eyes flickered in the darkness, and a hint of ambiguous light flashed across his eyes. Just as he was about to get up and follow her, he sensed a familiar breath.
Ivan's brows furrowed slightly, he sighed softly, and closed his eyes again.
The night breeze brushed against Rosie's cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness, but this coolness couldn't dispel the irritation in her heart. Rosie slowly walked onto the terrace, hoping to calm herself under the night sky. But as she stepped onto the wooden planks of the terrace, her eyes involuntarily stopped at the adjacent terrace, where a familiar figure stood.
Damon was also wearing a "Moriyu" dress that was almost identical to Ivan's. The dress, which was supposed to show the beauty of nature, looked completely different on him...
Damon's shirt was casually open, seemingly unfazed by the chill of the night. His broad shoulders and muscular chest were particularly dazzling in the moonlight, their lines distinct and full of strength.
His mermaid line was particularly striking, extending from his abdomen to his lower abdomen, the lines deep and graceful, as if carved from marble. The moonlight softly cast a shadowy halo on his body, adding a hazy halo to his originally hard features, which seemed both real and illusory, like a god walking out of a dream.
Yet, amidst this beautiful interplay of light and shadow, the bright red leaf symbol stood out. Its vibrant crimson hue against his cold, pale skin shone brightly, like a flicker of fire amidst a blazing flame. The symbol seemed to hold a mysterious power that made it impossible to look away.
It makes people feel itchy.
Luo Qian held her breath for a moment, her heart pounding like thunder, and she couldn't look away for a moment.
Damon on the other side obviously noticed Rosie's presence at the first moment. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked deep. Then, he slowly raised his hand and used his wood-related ability to build a beautiful bridge between the two tree houses.
The wooden bridge seemed to blend in with nature in the night, emitting a faint fluorescence, while Damon strolled across the bridge.
Rosie's heartbeat intensified. Her mind told her to retreat, but her body remained frozen, as if under a spell. Damon approached her, his familiar scent wafting through the night air, mingling with the fragrance of the forest, like a seductive elf whispering in her ear.
"Damon, what are you doing here?" Her voice trembled unconsciously.
Damon smiled slightly, approached her, and said in a low and bewitching voice: "Sister, guess what I want to do?"
At that moment, Rosie felt her defenses nearly crumble. Ever since she became pregnant, she'd noticed an increasing attraction to Damon and Ivan, especially when they displayed their wood powers. That invisible force seemed to work directly into her soul, making her unable to resist.
She knew very well that desire was not just for men, women also had the same desire.
That desire was infinitely magnified at this moment. Rosie's cheeks quickly turned red, and the heat in her chest almost swallowed her.
She sighed, her mind gradually being devoured by the burning sensation. Her fingers involuntarily reached out and gently tapped the bright red leaf mark. The moment her fingertips touched his hot skin, she could feel Damon's body tremble slightly, followed by his more rapid and hot breathing.
Rosie's fingers slid gently across Damon's skin. She could almost feel the power pulsating within him. The intense desire almost made her forget everything around her. Her voice trembled slightly, yet held a hint of defiance. "Such a beautiful mark, won't you keep it?"
Damon lowered his head, staring at her fingers, his eyes as deep as the sea. He took her hand and slowly moved it to his waist. At that moment, Rosie felt her heartbeat so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest. She could feel his body temperature, so hot that it seemed to burn her skin.
"I want my sister to wipe it off with her own hands..." His voice was low, with a temptation that could not be ignored.
A moment of hesitation flashed through Rosie's mind, but the urge and desire only grew stronger. She knew this was a dangerous game, but she also knew she couldn't back down. Her hand lingered on his waist for a moment, feeling the tension and strength of his muscles. Her fingertips applied a slight pressure, as if responding to his invitation.
Damon chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice, "Are you shy, sis?"
Luo Xi was startled by these words and looked up at him, only to find herself locked in his deep gaze. Those eyes seemed to contain endless desire, like an invisible net that bound her tightly.
She tried to break free, but found herself with nowhere to escape. Her rationality seemed so fragile at this moment, as if it could be swallowed up by the scorching heat of emotion at any moment. Rosie knew she should push him away, should calm down, but her body uncontrollably moved closer to him.
Her breathing became rapid, and her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and longing, "Damon, don't do this..."
Damon's fingers gently slid across her cheek, his smile softening, yet still holding that irresistible power, "Sister, why would you refuse? I know you want it too."
Rosie's heartbeat became even more intense. She felt her sanity collapsing, her inner defenses almost completely broken. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but she found herself caught in the emotional vortex that Damon had woven and unable to extricate herself.
She closed her eyes and felt his hot breath approaching...
……
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for binding Damon, your fifth fixed partner. 100 points reward!]
[Current system points balance 2012 points]
[Ding! The host's total points reached points, and the system level was upgraded to level 3]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the system upgrade reward, fire ability]
[The current host has special abilities:]
[Wood Ability: Level 3 (Promotion Level: 2000 Points)]
[Fire Ability: Level 1 (Promotion Level: 100 Points)]
The system upgrade had just been completed, and before Luo Qian had time to digest it all, she heard the mechanical sound of System 001 suddenly ring out in her mind.
[Host, I have good news, do you want to hear it? ]
Luo Xi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: 001 has never been very reliable, but since it took the initiative to jump out, it wouldn't hurt to listen. She responded softly: "Tell me."
[Upgrade the system authority to level 3, and you can spend 100 points to contact your partner.]
"Contact them?" Luo Xi frowned slightly, a little unresponsive. "Isn't interstellar communication enough... Wait, you mean..." Her voice suddenly became louder, and an uncontrollable excitement surged in her heart.
[That's right, host.] 001 confirmed her guess with its unique mechanical voice.
Rosie's heart skipped a beat, her eyes flashing with unconcealable excitement, "Really? This is such a pleasant surprise!" She almost jumped up, unable to suppress her inner ecstasy.
[That's right, host.] 001 continued to explain, [You can contact Marshal Kyle directly through the system.]
Rosie's eyes lit up, and she barely hesitated for half a second. "Then what are you waiting for? Help me contact Kyle!"
[Okay, host, please wait...] The system's voice remained calm, as if it was not affected by her emotions.
Rosie waited nervously, her heart pounding and her palms sweating. She had never been so eager to hear Kyle's voice, to know if he was okay.
After a few seconds, the system's mechanical voice sounded again: [Host, communication established.]
After a moment, a familiar and warm voice came from my mind, with his usual calmness: "Sissi?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Rosie felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but well up. Ever since they'd parted ways on Raven, they'd only been able to communicate via conventional communication devices. This time, thanks to the system, she could hear his voice again, and her heart was filled with endless gratitude and excitement.
"Kyle!" Rosie responded impatiently, her voice filled with anxiety and concern. "How are you now?"
Kyle's voice remained calm, as soothing as ever. "Don't worry about me. Although I can't leave here for the time being, I have a feeling that as long as I break through the ninth-level barrier, I can escape from this space. The spatial power here is extremely rich, and I can use this power to cultivate."
Luo Xi's anxiety subsided a little when she heard his calm tone, but she still couldn't help but worry about him: "Then you must be more careful. I will do my best to help you find a solution."
Kyle was silent for a few seconds, as if contemplating something. Just when Rosie thought there was a communication problem, his voice came again, with a subtle hint of nervousness: "Sissi, I don't know how you contacted me, but whatever it is, don't let anyone else know. Your identity as a Saint Female has already attracted the attention of many people. If anyone knew you had mastered this method..."
When he said this, his voice became even deeper. "Plus, I'm not with you now, and I'm really worried about you."
Rosie immediately and gently comforted him: "Kyle, don't worry. I will keep this secret, and no one will know that I can contact you. I will protect myself and not let you worry."
Kyle's tone relaxed a little, but still full of concern for her: "You must be careful, Sissi. I am not with you, and this makes me very uneasy. You must be more alert now than ever before."
Rosie nodded, and even though she knew he couldn't see her, she said firmly, "I will, Kyle. You should be careful too, and don't push yourself too hard. I'll wait for you to come back."
Kyle's voice was filled with tenderness and determination: "Sissi, I will be back as soon as possible. When I return, we will face all challenges together. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
Rosie smiled slightly. Although she was reluctant, she knew she had to give Kyle confidence at this time: "I'll wait for you, Kyle. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you to come back."
Kyle also seemed to smile, and his tone was full of strength: "Okay, we will face everything together then."
Rosie said softly, "Kyle, I have a surprise for you...but I won't tell you until you get back."
She gently stroked her belly, a gentle smile on her face. She knew now was not the right time to tell him she was pregnant, as it would only make him more worried. It would be better to let him have something to look forward to, and let this surprise be the motivation for him to work hard to come back.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, each conveying strength and confidence. It wasn't until System 001 warned them that its energy was running out that Rosie had to say goodbye to Kyle.
"Kyle, I... will wait for you to come back." Rosie said gently, with infinite attachment and determination in her tone.
At this moment, across the dimensional space, Rosie's feelings for Kyle had never been clearer. She felt an urge to speak, but her upbringing had conditioned her to hold it in, and her throat seemed to be clogged, making it difficult to speak.
But in the next second, Kyle's voice rang in her mind again, still with that familiar firmness and warmth: "I love you, Sissi, I will definitely come back to you as soon as possible..."
Those few words instantly struck Rosie's heart, and she was completely stunned. She was surprised and delighted that the usually taciturn man would express his feelings so directly.
Even after the call was severed, Rosie remained dazed for a long time. Her cheeks felt slightly hot, and her heartbeat was as rapid as a drum. She had never felt her emotions so clearly before. The warmth and sweetness filled her chest, making it impossible for her to calm down.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. When she felt her heartbeat gradually subside, Rosie finally lowered her hand, touched her belly, and whispered, "Baby, did you hear that? Your daddy said he loves us... and that he'll be back safely."
A satisfied smile appeared on her face, as if all her anxiety and uneasiness at this moment were comforted by Kyle's words. Knowing that he was not in danger, Rosie finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart for a long time, and she felt much more relaxed.
The next day, Damon was called away by Ivan for a "heart-to-heart talk", while Rosie was happy and at ease.
As a result of their conversation, a sky bridge made of circular tree trunks was built between the two tree houses.
The two tree houses were connected to become twin tree houses.
Rosie looked at the design, then looked at Ivan, who had a harmless smile on his face, and Damon, who had regained his nonchalant attitude.
I always feel like something is not right...
Also today, the Federation's frontline troops finally returned victorious, and this news filled the entire capital planet with joy. People on the streets talked about the victory, their faces filled with long-lost smiles.
Rosie stood in front of the window, looking at Marshal Kyle's special aircraft gradually approaching in the distance.
She knew that the person she was waiting for had finally arrived.
