‘You call this compensation and a reward for her? Let me ask you, who is this supposed to compensate? And who is this a reward for?’

Liana can’t even be bothered to argue with her!

“Mephilia, your body probably hasn’t fully recovered yet, right? Isn’t vigorous exercise not good for you?” Liana asked with concern.

Of course, she was concerned for herself.

“I won’t be doing any vigorous exercise. The person who needs to exert effort is you, Liana.” Mephilia looked at Liana with a smile.

“No way!” Liana pressed her hands on Mephilia’s shoulders. At this moment, she needed to be more assertive. “What you should be doing right now is resting properly, not doing these things.”

“Fine.” Mephilia buried her face in Liana’s chest. If she couldn’t use her hands, then getting a “face wash” shouldn’t be too much, right?

Liana watched as Mephilia nuzzled against her chest and couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you a child?”

“If I were a child, would you let someone do this?” Mephilia asked.

Is she... jealous?

Although it wasn’t clear who she was jealous of, Mephilia throwing a childish tantrum like this was quite cute.

Liana kissed Mephilia’s forehead. “I would only let little Mephilia do this.”

“That’s more like it.” Mephilia buried her face in Liana’s chest again, taking deep breaths.

“What were you looking at just now?” Liana asked curiously.

“A fairy tale picture book.” Mephilia picked up the book from the bed and handed it to Liana.

“A picture book?” Liana took a look. It was a story similar to Snow White, and some memories resurfaced in her mind.

“Remember when we were little, Sister Ambis would read these stories to calm us down and help us sleep well?” Mephilia said nostalgically.

“Do you need me to read you a bedtime story?” Liana smiled.

“That won’t be necessary. I’m just feeling nostalgic. I’m not a child anymore,” Mephilia said.

She continued to look at the picture book. Who knows how many times she had read it, how many days and nights. After Liana turned cold to her, she often picked up this picture book, looking at it alone, imagining that one day Liana would be like she was now, lying beside her.

Looking at this somewhat childish fairy tale picture book together. This wish had now come true. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Liana could see a trace of sadness in Mephilia’s eyes, but it was quickly filled with happiness.

Liana knew that Mephilia must have thought about those past events again, which was why she showed such an expression.

After all, this has become a shared memory between them.

“In a faraway kingdom, there was a beautiful princess whose skin was as white and delicate as snow...”

“Liana...” Mephilia listened to Liana, her hand holding the picture book trembling slightly.

“I remember everything. You used to fall asleep first back then,” Liana said.

“It was clearly you.”

“I remember it was you.” The two bickered with each other.

“It was definitely you! I even drew a pentagram on your cheek back then!” Mephilia said.

“So it was you! Now I’ll get my revenge!” A writing brush appeared in Liana’s hand.

But obviously, even if Mephilia had just recovered, Liana was no match for her. Soon, Liana was pinned down by Mephilia.

“Can I take it back?” Liana said.

“Not allowed.” Mephilia looked at Liana with a smile. “If you close your eyes, maybe you won’t be so afraid.”

“Why does it sound like you’re about to do something very strange?” Liana said.

“What do you think?”

Although Liana kept talking, she obediently closed her eyes.

“Mm?!” Liana’s body trembled slightly as something warm landed on her cheek.

Isn’t a writing brush supposed to feel cold?

Moreover, this sensation didn’t feel like a brush, it felt more like...

But Mephilia moved and began to draw on Liana’s face.

This mark... Liana immediately knew what Mephilia was drawing.

“Alright, you can open your eyes now,” ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Mephilia said.

Liana touched her cheek, then put her fingers in her mouth.

“Liana?!” Mephilia hadn’t expected Liana to do this.

In reality, Liana was extremely embarrassed right now, but she just wanted to resist a bit. She absolutely couldn’t always be toyed with by Mephilia! She had to fight back!

“You drew a heart, right?” Liana said, fighting back her inner shame.

“Ah, mm...” Mephilia was stunned for a moment, then hugged Liana. “I can’t take it anymore! I can’t stand it!”

Mephilia took off the ring on her left hand.

“Hey! Don’t take off my clothes! Hey!!!”

“I’m sorry! I was wrong!!!”

“I won’t dare next time!!!”

“Wait... wait a moment!”

“Don’t stop...”

“There’s nothing to suck out!”

“What are you drinking?!”

......

Liana lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. They had done it after all.

However, Mephilia was right. The person who exerted the most energy was indeed Liana.

“Good morning, Liana.” Mephilia also woke up.

“It’s not morning anymore.” Liana looked at the time. “You’ve learned bad habits from me.”

“I’m not pretending to be a good child anymore. This is more comfortable. Besides, there’s no need to pretend when I’m with Liana.” Mephilia lay on her side.

“For this period of time, let’s just rest well and adjust our mood,” Liana said.

“Mm.”

Though they said this, Mephilia couldn’t stay in this place forever. People would notice, so in not too long, Mephilia would have to leave this place.

“Mephilia, have you considered going to the Elf Forest?” Liana asked.

“Did Sephirena say something to you?”

“Yes, she invited me to visit the Elf Forest once. She said the Tree of Life has recognized me and wants to see me,” Liana said.

“Recognized by the Tree of Life? That’s a big deal. Before... Sister Ambis was recognized by the Tree of Life. She also had some connection with it,” Mephilia smiled.

“Mother?” That made sense, her mother went to the Elf Forest to treat the Tree of Life, so it was normal for her to be recognized.

“If you’re recognized by the Tree of Life, you might receive its blessings and gain some powers that only elves can use. You might even... gain the blessing of immortality through the Spring of Life,” Mephilia said.
