Looking at the black tail swaying behind the girl, Livia immediately realized her identity after a brief moment of daze.
“An Otherworldly Dragon… another Otherworldly Dragon.”
Killing intent gradually colored Livia’s voice.
“You… what exactly did you do to my Mr. Lynn!”
As soon as she spoke, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from around Livia.
This was the first time in Livia’s life that she had fully unleashed her Witch’s aura.
Under its influence, even the temperature within this field of frozen time and space plummeted.
As a Witch, Livia’s primary duty was to protect humanity during the Otherworldly Dragons’ offensives against human city-states.
Therefore, from the moment she entered the Witch Academy, she had been instilled with the view that the Otherworldly Dragons were beyond forgiveness.
Even if the dragon girl before her looked adorable and seemingly posed no threat, her true identity could be a colossal dragon that could blot out the sky and deal a heavy blow to humanity.
Livia would not show her any kindness.
Furthermore, Mr. Lynn was now tainted with her scent… Needless to say, the two must have had close contact earlier.
‘Could it be that in Mr. Lynn’s eyes, my own attractiveness is inferior to a brat who hasn’t even grown up yet?’
‘What a joke!’
‘So, there’s only one possibility.’
‘This damned Otherworldly Dragon must have forced Mr. Lynn into doing something he shouldn’t have!’
It didn’t matter if she was bullied herself, but if this girl so much as laid a finger on Lynn… even if it meant death, Livia would do her best to tear a layer of skin off this evil dragon!
Seeing Livia look like she was about to explode, Ah Yan sighed helplessly.
This girl was really troublesome.
To be honest, she didn’t want to wade into this mess.
Maintaining a human image alone required a significant amount of her Dragon King’s blood, let alone maintaining it in the outside world!
However, Ah Yan still had a reason for coming out.
She had lied that day.
That mysterious voice had not only told her that Lynn was going to challenge the Rank 4 Sage projection, but it had also told her Lynn’s intentions and plans.
Even the well-traveled Ah Yan didn’t know who the source of that voice was or how they knew.
However, one thing was clear.
She had to keep this woman away from Lynn during this time!
‘If Lynn gets hurt because of this… No, no, no, what does that idiot getting hurt have to do with me?’
‘I just need to fulfill my duty. I’ve done you such a big favor, Lynn. You really owe me a huge one!’
‘Yes, that must be it,’ Ah Yan thought.
Then, she looked at Livia’s eyes, which were constantly glancing toward Lynn. She tilted her head, seemingly realizing something.
“Is it possible… that you care about this guy?”
She pointed a slender finger at the Lynn beside her.
“Care?” Livia laughed out of anger.
Her feelings for Lynn were far more than just simple “caring”!
“How can you cold-blooded Otherworldly Dragons understand human emotions!”
As Livia spoke, a black magic circuit gradually formed in her hand.
This was her Ultimate Magic: Witch’s Night of Rebirth.
This was Livia’s final trump card.
Since it was an Ultimate Magic, its power was naturally immense, but after using it, it would also cause permanent, irreversible damage to the caster.
It was basically intended for a one-for-one trade.
Generally speaking, unless it was a moment of extreme crisis, Livia would not use it easily.
But now, before her stood an Otherworldly Dragon whose strength she couldn’t gauge at all.
Not only was the dragon unaffected by the laws of this space, but most importantly, she actually dared to lay a finger on her Mr. Lynn.
Unforgivable, death was too good for her!
Livia felt that it was time.
The magic circle gradually took shape, and a sudden gale began to blow in this static space.
The wind carried a thick scent of decay.
With just one thought from Livia, the surrounding time and space would rot in an instant.
Ah Yan watched the scene before her, but her face showed none of the fear she should have had.
She blinked and whispered, “Then, do you like him?”
“I…” Livia was stunned, and her movements stopped.
A blush gradually stained Livia’s snow-white face.
A moment later, she let out a long breath, and every word she spoke was exceptionally powerful: “I have always loved him deeply.”
Having heard this, the petite dragon girl walked slowly toward Livia with her hands behind her back.
Her black, round-toed leather shoes clicked against the ground, making a continuous, crisp click-clack sound.
“Really?”
Ah Yan slowly walked up to Livia.
Her red, sharp, slit pupils stared intently at her, making Livia feel uneasy.
“Absolutely,” Livia said, frowning slightly.
“But what does that have to do with you?”
“…”
Although she had been mentally prepared, hearing Livia say it personally still caused a strange sensation to well up in Ah Yan’s chest.
‘Why do I suddenly feel a bit lost, a bit heart-sore?’
She shook her head, forcing that feeling down.
After taking a deep breath and calming her mood, a nameless fire gradually ignited in her heart.
“You’re an idiot just like that guy!”
Ah Yan shouted loudly with her hands on her hips, as if to completely vent the dissatisfaction in her heart.
“Lynn didn’t want you to know because he was protecting you, you dummy!”
“You’ve tried to get close to Lynn over and over again. Have you ever thought about how much trouble you might cause him? If Lynn were awake right now and saw you here, what would he think?”
Under Ah Yan’s aggressive attitude, Livia couldn’t help but dissipate the magic circle in her hand.
She was at a loss, her hands moving in a flurry.
She just wanted to stay by Mr. Lynn’s side.
As long as she could see his figure, even if she did nothing, a sense of security would continuously well up in her heart.
But she seemed to have truly failed to consider Mr. Lynn’s feelings.
‘Did Mr. Lynn send me away just for my own safety…?’
Just as a trace of emotion welled up in Livia’s heart, she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
Why did this girl know so much?
“Who exactly are you to Mr. Lynn?”
Livia’s gaze gradually turned cold.
“I am…” Ah Yan paused for a moment, then slowly said, “Lynn’s friend.”
Livia frowned slightly.
She looked carefully at the clarity in Ah Yan’s red slit pupils, feeling somewhat puzzled.
The girl wasn’t lying to her.
But why would Mr. Lynn have a friend from the Otherworldly Dragons?
And why did she see a flash of resentment in this friend of Lynn’s eyes?
Though she was somewhat puzzled, if the girl really was Lynn’s friend, there seemed to be no need to lie.
“Phew…”
Thinking of this, Livia completely withdrew her offensive stance.
She walked slowly to Lynn’s side and looked at his exhausted appearance, feeling a bit distressed.
“Mr. Lynn…” Livia’s lips parted slightly.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but… if you’re tired, please lie in Livia’s embrace. Livia’s embrace is very warm, and it will always be prepared for Mr. Lynn alone. So… goodnight…”
After saying that, Livia gently brushed aside the bangs on Lynn’s forehead and lightly kissed it.
Click… clack…
Click… clack…
As Livia left, time seemed to resume its flow.
“I should probably go back too,” Ah Yan muttered.
But just as she intended to return, she suddenly felt a pang of pain in her palm.
Ah Yan opened her soft, white palm and found that faint trails of blood had already appeared there.
“How… could this happen?”
Ah Yan was puzzled.
This kind of wound would only appear if one were clenching their fists tightly, right?
‘There’s no way. I’m not that stupid. How could I clench my fists hard enough to cause this?’
“…”
That being said…
‘Before that girl kissed Lynn’s forehead, I didn’t have any wounds on my hands, did I?’
The next moment, Ah Yan stood frozen on the spot.
‘No way…’
‘Am I really jealous?’
“No.”
Ah Yan crossed her arms and shook her head.
“That’s not possible.”
