"This aura, you actually have a connection with Goddess Sylvia!"
Morvran stared at Timothy in utter shock, a chill rushing over him in an instant.
He knew full well how terrifying Goddess Sylvia was. The only reason he dared to send Timothy to challenge her was because he was certain that Goddess Sylvia wouldn't bother with a small fry sect like the Doomed Soul Sect.
The fact that Timothy had returned alive was beyond his expectations. Morvran had never imagined that Timothy could actually cozy up to the mighty Goddess Sylvia.
That was Goddess Sylvia!
A peak Transcendence Realm power, an Emperor-level fighter.
Even he himself wasn't worthy of being a pawn in her games.
Timothy smirked, "Old man, weren't you acting all high and mighty just now? I'll talk to Goddess Sylvia right in front of you. With her temperament, just one word and I doubt you'd keep your life."
Without hesitation, Timothy channeled his spiritual energy into the bonding stone, establishing the connection.
Morvran's pupils shrank, his body trembling with cold.
He knew exactly how powerful Goddess Sylvia was. If she really wanted to, she could appear here instantly from miles away and crush him.
If he accidentally heard anything, his death was certain!
Suddenly, Morvran violently jammed his fingers into his ears, blood gushing out as he destroyed his own eardrums with a burst of spiritual power.
He had decisively destroyed his own hearing!
"I mean no offense to the goddess, and have disabled my own hearing. Please, Goddess, spare my miserable life."
Morvran knelt towards the bonding stone in Timothy's hand, banging his head on the ground repeatedly, his body shaking with terror.
"Wow, talk about being decisive," Timothy couldn't believe how desperate Morvran was to survive.
"Hmph, just an ant," Sylvia's voice came coldly from the bonding stone, clearly unimpressed by Morvran.
Her mind was a bit chaotic, too preoccupied to care about others.
"Why are you contacting me after all this time? I'm very busy. If it's nothing important, don't blame me if I cut off the connection."
Sylvia's demeanor was as icy as ever, but a careful observer could detect a hint of petulance in her flushed face.
Timothy seemed a bit sad, "I've been waiting for you to contact me. These days, even though I've been practicing, I've been anxious, always by the bonding stone."
"If I keep waiting like this, I fear one day my inner demons will erupt, and I'll no longer be able to wait for the moment the bonding stone lights up."
"This..." Sylvia felt a pang in her heart.
She had never dealt with anything related to romance, so she had never initiated contact through the bonding stone.
Could it really be her fault?
But...
"I'm a woman, how could I bring myself to contact you first, even if I wanted to..."
As she spoke, Sylvia's gaze darted away, trying to hide the blush on her face.
But it was too obvious.
Finally, Sylvia huffed a bit guiltily, "Alright, I won't hold it against you for not contacting me for ten days. Now, what did you want to talk about?"
Timothy held the bonding stone in front of him, his Ancient Saintly Body emitting a unique aura, "I just heard that the Third Princess of the Phoenix Kingdom will be holding a grand celebration in Azure Sea City tomorrow."
"The city is going to be bustling."
"So I was thinking..."
Timothy cleared his throat, "How about we have a date in Azure Sea City tomorrow?"
"A date?!"
On the other side of the bonding stone, a blush instantly spread across Sylvia's stunningly aloof face.
She hadn't expected things to progress this quickly.
Just ten days ago, she had been moved by Timothy's sincere love letter and his reckless actions.
And now, they were about to go on a date.
But dating was the first step towards becoming a couple, and without it, there could be no progress.
Sylvia bit her lip, clearly conflicted.
Even though she knew this step was inevitable, she still tried to dodge it.
"But the Demonic Sect in the western seas has been quite unstable lately, I need to handle that."
"With the twelve Star Palaces in place, there's really no need for you to intervene personally."
"But my guards have always been stationed at the Sky Sanctuary, if I leave..."
"With your power, slipping away unnoticed would be a breeze."
"I..."
This time, Sylvia realized she truly had no reason to refuse.
Emotions swirled in her clear, autumnal eyes, her jade-like fingers lightly pressing against her palm.
Finally, as if making a monumental decision, Sylvia's voice trembled slightly, "If that's the case, then let's meet in Azure Sea City tomorrow."
"Remember, if you deceive me in any way, I won't let you off!"
"Hmph!"
"Don't worry, I'll take our date seriously. If I break my word, I'm willing to accept any punishment." Timothy chuckled as he ended the conversation through the bonding stone.
It had to be said, even he hadn't expected Sylvia, who always seemed so icy and ethereal, to show such an adorable side.
To this, Timothy could only say to himself, "Nicely done!"
Putting away the bonding stone, Timothy turned to look behind him.
Morvran was still kneeling on the ground, blood continuously flowing from his ears.
Even with his head bowed, the terror on his aged face couldn't be hidden.
Morvran's will to survive was beyond what most could imagine,he had completely disabled his hearing and couldn't hear a thing.
Timothy crouched down, patting Morvran's shoulder with a sigh, "Man, it seems like even being the leader of the Demonic Sect isn't easy these days. Can't help it, not everyone gets to have a goddess for a wife."
Morvran didn't understand what he was saying. Although furious inside, wishing he could tear Timothy apart on the spot, he dared not move.
He knew all too well that even if Timothy might be nothing more than a disposable pawn in Goddess Sylvia's eyes, he was still not someone Morvran could afford to mess with.
Morvran clenched his teeth in secret, convinced that Timothy, this insignificant pawn, would soon be discarded.
When that time came, he vowed to avenge today's humiliation and personally tear Timothy to shreds!
But Timothy had no intention of dealing with Morvran any further. He took out the Rainbow Lotus he had drawn.
The faint rainbow light shimmered as Timothy looked into the distance.
Tomorrow, he would be meeting Goddess Sylvia in Azure Sea City for their date!
