NOVEL NEXT Chapter 61: My Wife is Here!
(Lia’s POV)
That woman hadn’t even contacted Celia even minutes ago, but here my wife was, standing before me. Celia… still as regal and beautiful as ever. No… Right now, perhaps because I was separated from her, she looks so amazingly beautiful right now.
Kiss!
Before I could react, Celia scooped me up and brought me into a deep, but very loving, kiss. As she kissed me, I was embarrassed greatly. My age was correct, but this body was on the younger side. Currently, I didn’t look older than 19… and I was also somewhat short.
Celia: “Ah, how I’ve missed you!” She said, lovingly rubbing my head.
The guard, and those two women, had looked at us with odd expressions on their faces. Celia just kept holding me, and then she walked into the estate without even giving them a glance.
Though, before passing the gate, she did thank the two women that helped me contact her. Then, I was soon sitting in a nice room, with tea and snacks prepared for me. Are these crystals some local candy of this dimension?…
Deri: “Lady Celia has some things to attend to, so please relax for now, Lady Lia.” She said with a bow.
Lia: “Hm… With her being a guild leader, I can understand that. But what are these crystals?” I ask with a curious tone.
Deri: “Why don’t you inspect them? They’re, partly, the reason why Celia has become so powerful, so early into the game.” She proposed.
Lia: “…”
My silence was from me inspecting the crystals… Apparently, just eating one of these crystals, can give you ten levels up? According to Deri, the head maid of this estate of Celia’s, there were actually better ones for sale, but they got banned.
Dammit… I can’t say that I am not jealous of Celia. I mean, even though she is my wife, anyone would be jealous. She basically got a free pass to regain her power, and so damn early into the game.
But, instead of being jealous, I should just be happy. After all, the benefits that she received… will also be given to me. And with her reaction being so strong, I can only guess that I am the first wife that she has found in the game so far.
Munch!
Eating the crystals, which were in the thousands in front of me, I got so much power in such a short time. Annoyingly, after I only ate a few, I had to stop. There was no point in eating any more of them, as I needed to evolve now…
Celia: “They’re tasty, right? Don’t feel bad about it, and just eat them like candy. I have plenty of them stored up, and I can easily buy more.” She said, leaning over the couch, and softly playing with my hair.
Lia: “I need to evolve now…” I reply.
Celia: “Oh? So fast? Ah, my dear wife, I knew that you would be a hard worker! Go on, evolve already. I will watch over you the entire time.” She said with a warm tone.
Jumping over the couch, Celia then sat down right next to me, on the other side of the couch. Then she gently pushed my head down onto her lap. Celia wants me to evolve while she gives me a lap pillow? My wife is the best!!!
