Aelira and Rudrean finished having fun and went back to the pavilion with an extra 32k Love Points.

"You woke up." Aelira smiled at Isalyn, who was sitting on the couch.

"Come, sit. Let’s hear about the details now." Isalyn glanced at them and then looked back at the scroll in her hand.

Rudrean and Aelira sat down on the couch across from Isalyn.

Silence.

"So?" Isalyn blinked. "What is his talent?"

"The condition-based talent he has..." Aelira trailed a bit before she continued. "Requires love."

"Love?" Isalyn tilted her head slightly.

"As in, it requires him to love a person, and that person to love him back, with utter sincerity."

Isalyn’s eyebrows raised, clearly surprised. Turning to Rudrean, she asked, "Are you serious?"

Rudrean awkwardly smiled. "Yes."

"By the way, can you tell us why you are most wanted?" Aelira asked. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Isalyn sighed. "Politics. I am a disciple of the Lotus River Sect, one of the top sects in the territory of this Riglight Galactic Alliance that contributes immensely to the frontlines and exploration of void regions. The thing is, we have been pressured for five years to change some of our policies and quotas by the alliance, but doing so would weaken our sect’s power a lot, so my master, the sect leader, always stood his firm ground and didn’t let it change."

"But then it happened." Isalyn’s fists clenched. "A coup in the sect supported by our rival sect and the alliance. They took over the sect, but that wasn’t all. My master and all of his disciples were branded as most wanted, to be hunted with top priority."

Rudrean and Aelira were shocked.

"That’s... terrible." Rudrean frowned.

"This alliance is corrupt at the top." Isalyn sighed. "Not all, but the majority of the strong people and those in powerful positions are."

"Damn it. I hate this stuff." Aelira snorted. "Sister, so you are past your old life now, and you also encountered us. It’s really fate."

Isalyn ruefully smiled. "Well, I am not past my old life. I have no choice but to lie low for an indefinite time. However, I want to meet my brother and sister disciples, and my master, but that isn’t possible for now."

Shaking her head, she said, "Anyway, the priority is getting out of here alive. You both, or one of you, need to learn the 5-star spell."

"Are you a virgin, sister?" Aelira asked.

"W-What are you asking?" Isalyn’s cheeks flushed, her eyes moving between Rudrean and Aelira. She couldn’t help but remember the scene of these two having sex in the forest.

"Judging by your reaction, you seem to be a virgin." Aelira grinned. "No need to be shy. We were also virgins a few days ago."

"Anyway." Aelira continued, her face turning somber. "We have to do something. For now, I’ll leave my darling here and go for a walk. Make some rapport, you two."

"W-what?" Rudrean was startled.

Isalyn was speechless. "Are you serious about the love condition? What exactly is his talent?"

"That’s the guaranteed way to get out of this situation alive." Aelira smiled. "And if the condition is satisfied, you will find out his talent."

"And darling..." Aelira stood up and went behind Rudrean’s couch before bending down and putting her face next to his for a hug. "You might be finding this uncomfortable, but you have to grow out of it. Remember, this is fate, not a coincidence."

Kissing his cheek, she smiled. "I love you, and my love for you will never go down. You will have a harem because that’s your fate, granted by your talent. You are such a sweetie to not lust after other girls because you already have a wife, and that is normal. It’s also normal that there are guys who lust after beautiful women they see."

"I am glad you are not one of those." Aelira grinned. "However, sister Isalyn here seems like a good and talented woman. She wanted someone worthy, and she wouldn’t find anyone more worthy than you."

Isalyn at the side: "..."

"So, good luck, and all the best, you two." Aelira looked at Isalyn and chuckled. "Our survival depends on you two."

"I’ll come back an hour later to check the progression. Meanwhile, I’ll do some solo training with spells and the Arcane Martial Art I got."

Aelira flew away.

Rudrean turned his head to Isalyn. Looking at such a beauty, and having Aelira’s words ringing in his head, he couldn’t help but blush.

"I apologize for this awkwardness." Rudrean tried to smile.

Isalyn couldn’t help but wryly smile. "So, will you finally tell me about your talent?"

Rudrean nodded, but then shook his head. "I-I apologize. I can’t tell you."

Isalyn chuckled. "Because your imp of a wifey said so? She is one piece of work, I must say. But she loves you very much. I could tell from the way she looks at you."

Rudrean smiled.

Isalyn’s heart skipped a bit seeing that true smile Rudrean showed, fully filled with love. ’Heh, truly a handsome fellow. But that girl’s words, and what I saw, are influencing my mind right now. My heart wouldn’t be like this otherwise, humph.’

"Not because she said so, but because that’s how important it is." Rudrean sighed. "The talent I have... must not be shown to anyone unless I truly love them, and they truly love me. Fortunately, my talent can determine whether that love between two people is there, and once that happens, it activates for the other person and me both."

"As for what it does, I can’t go into details."

"I see..." Isalyn nodded. ’He isn’t lying.’

But her curiosity was increasing even more now!

’Just what kind of talent does he have?’

"Alright, let’s do something," Isalyn said.
