Chapter 484: Chapter 258: The Wedding Day (15,000 Words) (Part 5)
"What do you need from me?" Lynn said directly, "Ahem, but if you’re asking about that choice matter, I might need to apologize because we haven’t reached a consensus yet, so it may take a few more days to get back to you."
Upon hearing Lynn’s response, Lida tilted her head in confusion: "But Miss Hillena came here last night and said you had already discussed it and made a decision."
This sentence was like a thunderbolt.
Lynn suddenly recalled Hillena’s question by the campfire last night about staying. Was she really going to go through with it...?
She asked if he would be willing to spend his life in this world with her, which was Lida’s second proposal — for Lynn to remain in Morol City, continuously joining with her people, perpetuating their lineage until the day his life ends.
In other words, the entire Morol City would become Lynn’s harem by then.
Moreover, add a woman like Hillena, with her cold demeanor and stunning beauty, it would be hard for any man to resist such temptation and not choose to stay in this world.
But Lynn wasn’t that kind of person; he desperately wanted to leave this world.
"What decision did she make?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lynn looked at Lida and asked.
Lida gently brushed her fingertips over the Star Map on the altar: "According to the Divine Tree’s calculations, at midnight seven days from now, when darkness shrouds the silver glory, the barrier enveloping this world will become unprecedentedly weak due to the abyssal tide."
Upon hearing this, Lynn shook his head: "You know, that’s not what I’m asking."
Lida wasn’t surprised by Lynn’s attitude. She nodded: "Yes, Miss Hillena came here yesterday, and I talked to her about this matter."
"I must admit, as a woman, I am far inferior to her in terms of action and resolve. She is a truly deserving warrior."
"Stop."
Lynn interrupted somewhat irritably, locking eyes with Lida: "I just want to know, what did she finally say to you?"
Lida took a deep breath, then said: "Miss Hillena said she wants to hold a wedding seven days from now, then wait until midnight, when the barrier is the weakest, and with you..."
Lida paused here, unable to help it, as the last few words were indeed difficult for her to articulate.
And hearing the answer, Lynn was struck like by lightning, subconsciously retreating half a step, even feeling a bit like fleeing this place.
Although Lida didn’t mention who was the intended bridegroom for the wedding, the result was obvious. Aside from Lynn, was there another male entity in this city?
...
"What exactly are you trying to do?"
In the stone chamber, Lynn paced back and forth, contrasting sharply with Hillena, who sat quietly at the edge of the bed, wearing a faint smile, exuding an indescribable beauty.
Even when she saw Lynn finally tired from walking, sitting down on the bed, she got up to fetch a cup of water for Lynn using a clay cup.
Lynn hesitated to take the cup from her hand, yet Hillena wasn’t upset. Instead, a meaningful smile appeared on her face: "The word marriage, for someone like me, should be something distant."
Lynn frowned, as in the original tale, Hillena ended up marrying Xiya; as for the marriage ceremony, it was, indeed, never held.
"Lynn." She suddenly looked up, her blue eyes mesmerizingly deep like the ocean, "In the month-long exile in the Otherworld, haven’t you realized some things? Life is so short, no one knows what may happen next. Isn’t it a pity to realize too late, at your twilight, that you missed some beautiful moments in life?"
At this point, Hillena abruptly put down the clay cup, her burning gaze meeting Lynn’s: "So, why not join me in this pleasure?"
After saying this, Hillena withdrew her smile in the prolonged silence: "Just let it be... fulfilling my whimsical wish."
"I imagine before losing my memory, someone like me must’ve rarely been capricious."
"Do you truly understand what this means?" Lynn slapped the stone table, sneering, "You know, I’m not referring to the marriage, but rather..."
"Of course," Hillena nodded, taking up the cup Lynn hadn’t drunk from and sipping it: "But so what?"
Lynn didn’t expect Hillena to address this so nonchalantly and was momentarily speechless: "Aren’t you afraid that after doing this, you regain your memory, return to your original world, and find that between us there is unending enmity?"
"Let’s leave this world first, why speculate over matters not yet occurred?"
"At least at this moment, I am incredibly certain of one thing, that choosing this, I have not an ounce of regret."
Upon finishing, Hillena gave Lynn a provoking glance: "Even if our relationship turns out to be a battle of eternal foes, couldn’t you stand up for yourself just once? Seize this chance, let me bear your child?"
"If we had a child together, I think for the child’s sake, I would certainly not kill you."
Hearing this, Lynn felt both angry and amused, utterly speechless by Hillena’s directness.
"Are you even a man?" Seeing Lynn’s delayed response, Hillena raised an elegant brow, a trace of mockery flashing in her golden eyes, "I’ve made up my mind as a woman, so why are you, a man, so hesitant? What exactly are you afraid of?"
