Chapter 512 Destino Fruit
Chapter 512 Destino Fruit
Jonathan made it sound as though he was a young beauty being picked on by a tyrant. That was his idea of a casual joke. Unfortunately, Rhiannon was not on the same wavelength as him, so she could not grasp the implication behind his words.
She simply asked, "Why do you sound so strange?"
At that, Jonathan burst into laughter.
Subsequently, Rhiannon infused the water elemental energy into Jonathan's cerebral domain.
It was an exceedingly dangerous process, especially for Jonathan, because Rhiannon's power was an external force. Once an external force entered his mind, it was akin to planting a ticking time bomb in him. If the other party lost control even the slightest bit or harbored malicious intentions, it could spell absolute disaster for him.
The fact that he willingly allowed Rhiannon's power to enter his mind was a testament to his absolute trust in her.
That trust was enough to move Rhiannon deeply.
Then, the water elemental energy began to flow into Jonathan's body.
Such a sensation felt very strange to Jonathan. It was as though a snake was slithering through his body.
Finally, the energy settled in Jonathan's elixir field.
Jonathan then felt a warm sensation in his elixir field, seemingly about to merge with that energy.
This energy began to absorb the vitality from his body, and strands of blood started to merge with that force.
Gradually, about half an hour passed. Jonathan could hardly feel the presence of the force anymore.
Thereafter, a peculiar sensation emerged from within his elixir field.
The feeling was very distinct, very much like the sensation a woman experienced when she felt her baby move during pregnancy.
Jonathan jumped in fright.
So, life has actually been nurtured in my elixir field? D*mn it! Am I supposed to have a child with Rhiannon? Well, that isn't scary. But if I'm the one conceiving it, that's truly terrifying!
"Don't panic!" Rhiannon's voice came immediately. She explained, "This is Destino Fruit produced by the Balanced Duality Mantra. Only with this Destino Fruit can I possibly step foot into Level Nine of the Balanced Duality Mantra."
Suffering in silence, Jonathan forced a bitter smile and griped, "You're really putting me in a tough spot! This is not dual cultivation at all. You're simply having me help you conceive Destino Fruit!"
Rhiannon flashed him a sly smile and said, "If I had told you directly, you wouldn't have agreed so readily."
"Don't be so complacent. The Destino Fruit is still within me. It hasn't ripened yet. If I were to resist, you wouldn't be able to do anything about it," Jonathan retorted.
Rhiannon coaxed, "For the sake of your magic items, just bear with it for a while."
"No way! You've got to agree to an additional term. Otherwise, the deal is off," Jonathan asserted.
Rhiannon pondered for a moment before relenting, "All right. What's your term? But it can't be too outrageous!"
"I want to kiss you for a minute, and you're not allowed to resist!" Jonathan declared. No matter the circumstances, he could not change his nature of wanting to tease Rhiannon.
Rhiannon could not help blushing and exclaiming "What?"
"You don't have to agree. I can stop right away!" Jonathan seized the moment to press his advantage.
At that point, Rhiannon could not allow any mistakes. Despite knowing it was unlikely that Jonathan would stop for real, she still felt a tad anxious. "All right, I agree to your term!"
Rhiannon quickly agreed, no longer caring about anything else at that moment. She decided to deal with everything after Destino Fruit had been produced.
If she were to deny it when the time came, Jonathan would be helpless to do anything about it.
With a snicker, Jonathan said, "Remember your promise."
Ten minutes later, a Destino Fruit finally came into existence.
The combined energies of Jonathan and Rhiannon had crystallized into a dazzling Destino Fruit.
The Destino Fruit flew out of Jonathan's mouth.
Reaching out, Rhiannon caught it in her hand. Then, she swallowed the Destino Fruit without hesitation.
Jonathan watched her intently. After she had consumed the Destino Fruit, her body began to heat up. On the heels of that, her face and her snow-white neck were all flushed.
Jonathan mused inwardly, The Destino Fruit was nurtured within my body. As such, it's of pure positive energy. Now that Rhiannon has swallowed it, it's akin to positive and negative energy having merged.
Rhiannon's entire body flushed bright red. The scarlet stain on her cheeks grew even more pronounced before eventually turning into a vibrant shade of red, so intense it was almost as though she was about to bleed.
On top of that, she started to sweat profusely.
Such a situation bore a close resemblance to the physical reaction of the climax when a man and woman engaged in intimacy.
After a long moment, her body began to convulse.
It was an indescribable shudder.
A while later, Rhiannon finally opened her eyes and panted heavily.
Jonathan caught a whiff of an unusual fragrance, a scent that emanated from Rhiannon's perspiration. As her body was pure and free of impurities, even her sweat smelled pleasant.
"Well? Did you succeed?" he immediately asked.
Rhiannon nodded, saying, "I've broken through to Level Nine."
Relieved, Jonathan replied, "That's great." Then, he stood up and added, "I'll step out. Quick, change your clothes."
Rhiannon gave a dip of her head and murmured, "Okay."
Subsequently, Jonathan left the tent.
Five minutes later, Rhiannon's voice rang out from inside the tent. "You can come in now!"
At once, Jonathan went back into the tent. As soon as he stepped in, he saw Rhiannon dressed in a deep red palace outfit. The attire made her look even more dignified and regal.
"Now that I've cultivated to Level Nine, I can open this Crown of Duality with just a thought," said Rhiannon. "But to be safe, shall we open it only when we reach Pollerton Tomb's enchantment? What do you think?"
"I'm fine with anything!" Jonathan answered.
Rhiannon suggested, "It's getting late. Let's set off for Pollerton Tomb's enchantment when dawn breaks."
"Sure!" Jonathan replied.
Following that, Rhiannon uttered, "You can cultivate on your own now. I need to rest for a while."
"Wait!" Jonathan cleared his throat and queried, "Did you forget something?"
Looking at Jonathan very seriously, Rhiannon asked, "Hmm? What is it?"
Inwardly, Jonathan cursed, D*mn it! This woman is playing games with me!
He chuckled and enunciated, "You promised to let me kiss you for a minute."
Ever since Jonathan and Rhiannon performed dual cultivation and crystallized Destino Fruits together, the intimacy and trust between them increased significantly. Therefore, Jonathan did not have as many reservations anymore.
"Did I promise? I don't seem to recall it at all," Rhiannon fibbed.
In turn, Jonathan griped, "D*mn it! I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
Flashing him a faint smile, Rhiannon quipped, "Don't you know that women are naturally prone to
changing their minds?"
With a sense of helplessness, Jonathan lamented, "You win."
"I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me unless it's something important," said Rhiannon.
After she had finished speaking, she went to sleep for real.
Sleeping by the man's side, she felt incredibly at ease. She was not at all worried that he would do anything to harm her.
After all, he had entrusted his life to her without any reservations during the crystallization of Destino Fruit.
However, the unexpected occurred at two o'clock in the morning.
At that hour, the surroundings were steeped in silence.
Suddenly, Rhiannon felt a tightness envelop her body, leaving her instantly immobile.
Rhiannon promptly opened her eyes. The moment she did so, she saw that Jonathan had bound her with Dragon Chain. "What are you trying to do?" Rhiannon was shocked and horrified in that instant. At the same time, she felt a wave of sadness and anger.
Did I ultimately misplace my trust in him? Her heart bled.
With a playful grin, Jonathan divulged, "This is Dragon Chain in the Holy Scripture. Don't ever struggle because if you do, the spines in it will pierce your flesh and blood."
"I never expected you to be such a kind of person. I've truly misplaced my trust in you," Rhiannon snarled. "But don't forget that you can't unlock the Crown of Duality without me. Moreover, you have no idea where Pollerton Tomb's enchantment is."
Utterly bewildered, Jonathan countered, "What are you thinking? If I really wanted to scheme against all that, wouldn't I wait until you've brought me there first?"
Rhiannon was instantly baffled as well. Also finding it somewhat absurd, she demanded, "So, what exactly are you trying to do?" This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Jonathan snickered and replied, "You owe me a kiss, you renegade!"
"D*mn it!" Rhiannon cursed as soon as she heard that. Good Lord! I really didn't see this coming. How childish is he? He went to such great lengths just for that? I almost had a heart attack, okay?
The night was dark, and only the rustling of the wind could be heard.
All of a sudden, Jonathan leaned over and pinned her beneath him.
"What are you—" Rhiannon's face flushed bright red in embarrassment, a mix of shock and anger etched across her features.
But the moment she opened her mouth, Jonathan had already captured her lips.
Ah, how thrilling!
At that instant, Jonathan kissed Rhiannon. He immediately showcased his exceptional kissing skills, even slipping his tongue into her mouth.
After all, it would be foolish not take advantage of a ready opportunity.
At the same time, Jonathan ran his hands over her, which only served to boost her embarrassment and anger.
A minute later, Jonathan moved away from Rhiannon right on the dot.
He sat cross-legged, then closed his eyes and rested.
Naturally, he did not dare to say anything right then.
Rhiannon seethed with anger, gritting her teeth in resentment. She snapped, "Aren't you going to let me go?"
Chuckling, Jonathan said, "I'll untie you when dawn breaks. If I do so now, wouldn't you kill me?"
"I'll still kill you at dawn," Rhiannon hissed.
"Haha, go ahead and sleep! I noticed that you were enjoying it quite a bit just now. Later on, you even took the initiative to kiss me," Jonathan teased.
"Screw you! I didn't!" Rhiannon was mortifyingly furious to the core.
Jonathan said, "Enough chit-chat. I'm going to sleep now. Don't disturb me."
After saying that, he truly closed his eyes and went to sleep.
There was nothing Rhiannon could do about it.
Time ticked by.
The tent was filled with darkness and tranquility. Gradually, Rhiannon's anger began to abate.
She could not help but glance at Jonathan beside her. His profile was defined. He was not incredibly handsome, but he undeniably carried a masculine allure.
It was an appeal that made women fall for him.
She instinctively recalled the sensation of being kissed by the man forcefully. At that moment, her body was tingled all over. She was actually not all that averse to it, merely feeling that she had to resist. Otherwise, she would appear to be a loose woman.
Never had she been treated so frivolously before. That was her first encounter of such a nature with a man.
It didn't seem that bad, huh? Rhiannon thought to herself.
