Chapter 307: The Sudden Disturbance Inside the Inn
Back at the inn where Aldrian and the others are staying, Sylphia is with Baek Ji-Min and Eleine. Shortly after Sylphia and Baek Ji-Min begin talking in Sylphia’s room, Eleine joins them. They discuss what happened to Sylphia the previous night and how her relationship with Aldrian right now.
They were truly shocked by Sylphia’s transformation, as they had never witnessed such a drastic change overnight. She was more beautiful than ever, and her cultivation had advanced with absurd speed. Now at the Middle Earl stage, she had risen by two minor stages—a feat that would typically take years, achieved in just one night!
However, after hearing what happened to Sylphia and Aldrian, Baek Ji-Min and Eleine understood that Sylphia’s sudden rise in cultivation was likely because of Aldrian—no, it had to be because of him. They couldn’t help but blush when they heard what transpired between Aldrian and Sylphia the previous night, as it was the first time they realized Aldrian could be such a beast.
Eleine, as Aldrian’s guardian, felt happy that her young master had found love—and with none other than the princess of the Ivory Empire. While she didn’t concern herself with whom Aldrian loved, she hoped for the best for him and believed Sylphia was a good match for her young master.
Baek Ji-Min, on the other hand, felt embarrassed hearing Sylphia’s story, but at the same time, a wave of jealousy stirred within her. She couldn’t fully grasp what was happening, but every time Sylphia spoke about how deeply she loved Aldrian and how he held her with such tenderness and affection, it made Baek Ji-Min’s heart burn. The feeling was both uncomfortable and alarming, and she couldn’t understand why it was surfacing now.
Was the lingering effect of the Envy Devil’s domain still influencing her mind or body? Or...
Did it mean her attraction to Aldrian wasn’t just tied to his unique Being’s essence but also to him as a man?
When she reached that conclusion, she realized she no longer understood her own feelings. She had been certain her fascination with Aldrian stemmed from his unique being’s essence. But to be drawn to him as a man? A man she could imagine spending her entire life with?
She didn’t know. And it seemed she would have to uncover the truth about her feeling herself.
