For a moment, the world around her seemed to have frozen as if time had stopped. Even her breathing and heart seemed to stop at that moment. All she could feel was the warm and moist sensation on her lips and the manly hand grabbing her nape, holding her in place like a trapped prey.
She unconsciously had raised her hand halfway as ethereal energy began to rise up in her veins to blast him away. However, right when her icy, ethereal energy was about to release from her hands, the flow of energy suddenly froze as well, just like her thoughts.
She didn't even realize how her senses were getting intoxicated by this man's kiss and how he was slowly taking control over her body with his warmth. Before she knew it, her lips were timidly moving on their own, as if to sync with the rhythm of Damien's kiss, and for a moment, she felt as if she was experiencing pure bliss and happiness.
But as if something in her mind cracked, she suddenly got out of her daze and realized what was happening, especially that her lips were being taken advantage of by this brazen and shameless man.
The hand which she had already raised halfway suddenly pressed against his chest to push him away.
Seeing how he was still kissing her, she began to use her ethereal energy to push him off, but Damien still wasn't budging.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'You really want to go that far?' Reva became angry as she increased the strength of her ethereal energy, but Damien wasn't still getting pushed away.
Her eyes widened in surprise as she suddenly used the majority of her strength to push him off, and this time Damien got pushed away, and before he could react, he saw a dainty hand closing in on his face.
*Pha!*
Damien was startled by the sudden slap but was not out of his expectations. He touched his cheek and asked with narrowed eyes, "Did you just slap me?"
Even though it didn't pain him since Reva didn't use any ethereal energy behind the slap, as a man, he just couldn't take it like that even if he knew he deserved it.
Seeing him ask like that with such an expression, Reva wondered why she was feeling as if she was the one who did something bad now when he was clearly the one who suddenly took advantage of her.
Her face was entirely flushed, forming a stark contrast with her cold, snowy skin. It was such a beautiful and enchanting sight that even Damien was put in a daze as he stared at this breathtaking beauty.
He was never able to imagine her having such a face and felt that the slap was worth it. He could still feel her lingering scent and cold soft touch on his lips. Even though her lips were as cold as ice, his blood was literally dancing in excitement when he kissed her, and at that moment, he was able to make sure of his feelings.
Reva was, however, feeling aggrieved for getting taken advantage of like that even though, for some reason, she was unable to get really angry at him. Otherwise, if anybody else had tried to do the same thing, she would have already killed them on the spot.
"What you just did is enough to make your head roll with just a single word from me. A slap seems way too merciful compared to that. This is your final warning, and from now on, you better find a new alchemy teacher," Reva said in an icy tone before turning away with a glare.
Damien narrowed his gaze and became even more determined because of her words as he grabbed her wrist and turned her around before pressing her back against the door.
Reva was surprised to see that he still dared to touch her again without any fear and asked in a cutting tone, "Do you really want to die?"
"Yes...but only by your hands. If I am going to die by kissing you, so be it!" Damien threw all caution to the wind as he again suddenly plundered her lips while grabbing both her wrists and pinning them to the door.
Reva couldn't believe how audacious and daring this man could be and immediately tried to push him away by using most of her ethereal strength this time.
But Damien saw this coming and immediately activated his Undying Wrath second phase!
His aura immediately skyrocketed and erupted like a hellish volcano, and Reva, who thought she would be able to subdue him, was stupefied by the sudden, shocking increase in his strength and aura.
She could clearly sense that his cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Earth Ethereal Realm, a cultivation which she doesn't even have to bat an eye at to destroy someone of that cultivation.
But his ethereal strength was as strong as someone at the sixth level of the Sky Ethereal Realm!
This was her base cultivation and right how his strength was on par with her base strength! How could this be? How could he possibly get this strong fast? This speed of rising in cultivation and strength was not something even she could process.
Still, right now, her mind was only momentarily distracted by the sudden increase in his strength and was back to focusing on pushing him away, since his kiss seemed to make her body lose strength, and she didn't like this feeling of weakness though it seemed electrifying at the same time.
Damien was obviously under extreme pressure from within his body because of activating the second phase of his Undying Wrath, which was pumping 40% Anti-Energy through his body!
Otherwise, he knew he wouldn't be able to suppress Reva in the slightest. He could feel Reva slowly stopping her struggle as her arms relaxed.
Thinking that she gave up, he let go of her wrists as well and instead cupped her soft icy face as he gently continued to kiss her lips that were as soft as snowflakes.
*Pha!*
But the next moment, he felt a hand slapping his cheek again, making him break the kiss.
