Chapter 234: Vincent the Philanthropist!

Vincent was either too thick-skinned or too happy to know that Leilani was the little girl in his memories who puffed up her chest and exclaimed that she would marry him and become a little princess of the blood moon race.

From the looks of it, it was clear that his childhood sweetheart wanted to marry him because she wanted to experience what it feels like to be a princess. And it wasn't because of love. One must know that they were barely kids, so how could they understand what love and marriage actually mean!

Vincent knew that, but he wanted to make it real.

Leilani blushed madly at his shameless but sweet words, and redness painted her cheeks.

'Gosh, this man always says things that make my heart beat frantically, make me feel the need to hide in a rabbit hole!'

She was too embarrassed. Meanwhile, Vincent admired her feet. They were small, dainty, and just of the perfect shape. Her toes were like candies, cute like bunnies, and her feet better than the best paintings. There were a few callouses, but he was blind to them. Even if he sees them with his dog eyes, he would still praise her for working so hard that she damaged her skin and nothing else. His thumb rubbed the back of one of her feet. He felt their warmth while Leilani felt the need to laugh and giggle!

Not fair!

She was too sensitive at that spot!

"Can you please hurry up and put my feet in the shoes?" Leilani said. She didn't want to play naughty with him any longer! She felt that otherwise, she would like to do more things with him. This wasn't the right time nor the right place for kisses and cuddles, however. What if she transforms and exposes herself and John as feline demi-humans? She didn't want that!

Vincent also didn't want that. Her super cute side was something only for him to see.

"Your wish is my command."

Her long eyelashes fluttered as he grabbed her by the ankles and put her feet in the ice queen boots. Then, he also tied the frosty bracelet around her right ankle. He purposely caressed her star-like birthmark, which she considered ugly, before taking his hands away.

The boots were white as snow. Some rare types of intricate silver designs highlighted its sparkling beauty. It went up to her ankles. She felt that they were pretty comfortable. The sad thing was that they were bigger than her feet! The frosty bracelet wasn't cold at all. Instead, it was rather warm.

"I forgot to tell you the best part. These two items belong to the same set and can resonate, causing new skills to be unlocked. Since you're two pieces of the same ice queen set, you can release the special skill, Ice Leap, size adjustment, and stamina increase. What they do, I believe it is self-explanatory." Vincent said to Leilani.

"I will try it out."

After hearing his words, Leilani thought of adjusting the size of the ice queen boots. She just thought of the adjustment when a lot of information popped up in her mind. It was about how to increase or decrease the size of her boot.

Following the instructions in her mind, she directed some energy out of her body and into one of the several intricate designs on the boot. Instantly, the shoe decreased to the size that fit her perfectly.

She said the name of the other two skills in her mind and again gained more information. Ice leap let her sink into a huge body of ice and teleport at another point in an instant. It was like teleportation but subjected to the limitation of icy terrain.

"With so many buffs, I won't get exhausted as quickly as before. Thank you, these are the best gift of my life." Leilani expressed her deep gratitude to Vincent.

Vincent: "Did you know you look cute while handing out "thank you."

Even at this moment, he didn't forget to sway her heart!

Afterward, he helped Iris, John, and Nevis get the best they could with the limited amount of points they had. King Wrath saw that Vincent had indeed picked up treasures for Leilani, so he decided to let him get one for him too.

He asked ever so kindly—his voice sounded warm and not at all arrogant. If his subordinates or enemies were here, their jaws would have dropped to touch the ground. This tamed person shared no resemblance to the ruthless demon in their memories.

"Alright, but what would you like? An increase in strength, extra skill, or something along the line?" Vincent asked.

He didn't know what Varth needed the most. Varth fighting style contained a various number of things. He had many weaknesses but an equal amount of strength. What he wanted to strengthen was up to him, though, and he couldn't decide that for him.

"Knowledge. If there's something on inscriptions, then please get that for me. Otherwise, a nice armor or a life-saving treasure would do."

Inscription knowledge of ancient times was supposedly the best. If there were such records, he wanted to obtain them. At the same time, as his life was under constant threat and untold dangers could come at him at any time, he tried to get a life-saving treasure too.

"Here you go."

Vincent gave him a crystal after a few minutes."

"It is?"

"Both a life-saving treasure and a book," Vincent said.

King Wrath was surprised. This tiny necklace that he considered insignificant was beyond reasons and doubts. Vincent told him the way to bind with it. King Wrath used his blood to become its owner. Then, he found out that if he ever takes a life-threatening attack, the crystal would shatter in his place. At the same time, it had many pieces of information in it. They were written in an elven language that he hadn't learned but knew about.
