Chapter 136 is dedicated to Master

Although Retina didn't want to sell out her teammate, the person before her was the one she had been yearning for day and night...

In the end, she pursed her lips.

"It was indeed her who taught me. She told me..."

"In front of Master, only by saying it like this will Master agree to my requests..."

Xu Ruo: "..."

Xu Ruo couldn't even remember the last time he was this speechless.

As expected, those strange words could only have been taught to her by that fellow Velika.

That fellow Velika, despite being the Succubus Queen, was actually still a virgin to this day...

Who knows where she learned all these strange things from...

Fine, he would find an opportunity to teach her a lesson later.

Thinking of this, Xu Ruo could only shake his head.

As he looked up, the mist in Retina's beautiful eyes quickly dissipated.

It was replaced by a heartfelt joy. She held Xu Ruo's arm, leaning her cheek against his chest and listening to his heartbeat.

"Master, for a long time, I've wanted to be like Becca, lying in your arms and listening to your heartbeat..."

"Finally... my wish has come true."

Listening to Retina's mutterings, Xu Ruo gently stroked her hair. Seeing her look so happy and satisfied, a sense of relief welled up in his heart.

Fortunately...

Fortunately, his plan to seek death was broken by Xia Xier. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see...

That there were still so many people in this world who cared for him.

"What a fool."

It was unclear whether he was scolding his former self or saying something else. After murmuring to himself, Xu Ruo held Retina in his arms even tighter.

A warm and happy feeling spread through both their hearts, lingering for a long time.

After a good while, Retina finally lifted her head slightly. The affection in her beautiful eyes was still intoxicating, and her flushed cheeks were full of happiness.

Gently brushing aside the hair on her forehead to reveal her moving features, she looked at Xu Ruo with eyes full of love:

"Master, next... should we take care of some business first?"

"After finishing the business, I'll take you to see my Paradise Island?"

Hearing Retina's words, Xu Ruo also returned to reality from the joy of their long-awaited reunion.

"Take care of business?" Xu Ruo paused before continuing to ask:

"The 'business' you're talking about... it couldn't be the kind of business I'm thinking of, right?"

Retina gave him a coy glance and didn't speak. Instead, she reached out and cupped Xu Ruo's cheeks.

She lowered her head and kissed him again.

Although it was more intense than the brief peck from before, this time, Xu Ruo took the initiative to pull her slender waist close, responding to this deep and sincere kiss.

Looking at Retina, whose face was as crimson and lovely as the morning clouds, Xu Ruo's heart swayed slightly.

After panting for a few breaths, Retina did not let go of him. Instead, she pressed her cheek against his chest, her eyes half-closed, and whispered:

"I don't know what business Master is thinking of, but this is the kind of business I'm talking about."

"If Master hasn't thought of any other business, then..."

Hearing Retina's shy words, Xu Ruo simply snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the surrounding space twisted and warped.

In less than two seconds, the two of them unexpectedly arrived in an empty palace.

The palace wasn't bright, adorned only by several misty lanterns.

They cast light upon the figures of the two lying on the bed.

Feeling the familiar mana permeating the air, Retina asked:

"Master, this place... is the Dark Shadow Realm, right?"

"Yes, this is not only the Dark Shadow Realm, but it's also... the place where I used to rest on a daily basis."

Xu Ruo held Retina tightly in his arms and said in a gentle voice:

"Here... there is only you and I. We can do whatever we want to our heart's content."

Hearing Xu Ruo's affectionate words, the light in Retina's beautiful eyes instantly brightened by a few degrees.

Leaning in Xu Ruo's arms, she hugged him tightly, her cheeks covered in a happy and shy blush.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, she murmured:

"Only Master and I are here, being able to do what we want together... it's so nice."

Xu Ruo kissed her forehead once more.

Then he gently turned her over and laid her flat on the soft bed.

Under the glow of the hazy lanterns, the flush on Retina's face became even more soul-stirring.

Her hair was scattered across the pillow, and her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Ruo with deep affection.

Xu Ruo leaned down and kissed her lips again, savoring that intoxicating sweetness.

Before long, Retina's breathing became slightly hurried. She wrapped her arms tightly around Xu Ruo's neck, responding passionately and proactively.

Looking at the entranced Retina, Xu Ruo gently brushed away her slightly messy hair and said in a low but very gentle voice:

"If it hurts anywhere, remember to tell me..."

Retina hugged Xu Ruo tightly, the affection in her beautiful eyes already overflowing.

A moment later, Xu Ruo's breathing also became somewhat heavy. Looking at the emotional Retina before him, he said softly:

"Are you ready?"

Retina's beautiful eyes were already full of blurriness, and she nodded gently.

Without further hesitation, Xu Ruo's movements were gentle and tender...

What happened next was, naturally, self-evident.

The red flush on Retina's face had already spread to her neck. Her eyes were half-closed as she panted and nodded slightly.

Without another word, Xu Ruo slowly unfastened Retina's clothes.

Before long, that translucent skin was fully revealed before his eyes.

Her skin was like snow, every inch of it as moving as a work of art.

As Xu Ruo gradually leaned down...

Retina finally got her wish, dedicating everything she had to the only beam of light in her heart...
