Chapter 696 Because of you
Feeling him gently and lovingly kiss her lips, Emily's heart was fluttering, and her breathing had become deep and hot while her legs went limp.
Thankfully, Max was holding her by her waist, not allowing her to fall down.
This wonderful sensation, she was feeling for the first time in her life, and she realized it was an even better feeling than the feeling she got when cultivated.
'No wonder they aren't as much interested in spending their time in cultivation.' She thought.
After a few moments, Max broke the kiss and pulled his head back, looking in her glazed eyes and at her blushed face.
"God, you are beautiful."
His words put a beautiful smile on her face while her heart felt all sweet and tingly.
"Thank you." She whispered before burying her face in his chest. NoÌv(el)B\\jnn
Max, however, pulled her back and made her look at him as he slowly but firmly said, "I love you, Em, and I want you to be mine, now and forever. Would you like to become my woman?"
Emily shook at his words. Then, taking a breath as if to gather her courage, she nodded, "Y-Yes, I would like that." The moment she said this, Max's lips curled into a satisfied and relieved smile before he leaned in again and gave her another kiss.
Emily responded the best she could, and just when she thought he would pull back, she felt his warm and moist tongue slither inside her mouth.
She stiffened and didn't know what to do for a moment. 'D-Don't tell me this is also a part of kissing?' She thought before relaxing her body and letting him do whatever he wanted.
Just as she loosened up, Max's tongue captured hers, and the kiss turned passionate.
Ha~
When Max finally pulled away, she was left breathless, her chest heaving and her sweet pink lips slightly swollen.
Max's gaze flickered, his brows slightly raised in intrigue, 'Her presence has indeed become stronger. Without even trying, she is able to put pressure on them. Her bloodline... It doesn't seem ordinary.'
Lily and Sera also realized why they were acting so... differentially toward her, and unlike Max, they became concerned because she was able to dominate them so easily; they wouldn't be able to fight her when she started taking up all Max's time.
'This is no good.' Both thought before simultaneously saying, "Sister Emily, can you please not use your bloodline suppression on us?"
Emily looked at them in surprise before saying, "I didn't useâ" Mid-speech, she paused and closed her eyes. When a moment later, she opened them, her irises were no longer golden, having returned to her original dark brown color.
Immediately, the duo felt the difference. Although the feeling of deference didn't vanish completely, it wasn't as significant as it was a moment before.
"Em, what's this bloodline you awakened? Is it from Aunt Esther's side of the family?" Max asked.
Emily turned around and looked at him in surprise for a moment before realizing he hadn't heard of the stories passed down in the Garfield family and hence didn't know about the bloodline.
"No. Mother is from a small family; they didn't have any bloodline inheritance." She shook her head and then started telling him about the legends of their Garfield bloodline.
"In our family, our ancestors have passed down some stories about how we supposedly had an incredible bloodline inheritance..."
As the trio heard her, they became fascinated. After she was finished speaking, Max asked, "So you are saying you are the first person to awaken this bloodline in hundreds of years?"
"Yes," Emily nodded, "And it's because of you." She added, causing Max to raise his brows in confusion. "Because of me?"
"Yes. When you injected your bloodline energy into my body to expel that guy, Oliver's icy mana, some of it seemed to have been absorbed by my blood, strengthening my heavily diluted bloodline." Emily explained. She had realized this only after awakening her bloodline.
Max wasn't surprised to hear this as he already knew his bloodline energy could help awaken others' dormant bloodlines, just like the Nascent Energy, however...
"That small bit of my bloodline energy shouldn't be enough to awaken it?"
Emily's expression froze when she heard his question. She then turned around and coldly said, "Stop asking so many questions."
Lily and Sera, who could see her expression, stared at her in confusion seeing the embarrassed look on her face.
