Chapter 384 What about Nine?

Chapter 384 What about Nine?

Kyle halted in his spot as a pair of arms wrapped tightly around his neck, pulling him into a tight embrace. But his initial surprise quickly transformed into a soft sigh. He hesitated for a split second, before wrapping his arm around Yue's waist. Kyle noticed with a hum that Yue's body felt warm against his cold one.

The elves floating behind Anlee stared at the scene, their jaws dropping in disbelief. They couldn't believe their eyes as they witnessed their beautiful Queen, who had always been so graceful and composed, embracing someone else in front of so many eyes.

Anlee let out a faint chuckle and shook his head. He knew Kyle didn't particularly like him. After all, he had observed the kid before and noticed that Kyle tended to hold grudges. Yet, he couldn't help but smile at the scene unfolding before him.

'Kyle may not be the strongest, but he is strong. It's good to have a connection with him, especially in such a dangerous situation...'

Yue paused when she finally realized what she had done in front of all those people. She blinked, once, twice, and slowly, wanted to back away, but the arm around her waist tightened. Her grip on Kyle's neck loosened... the moment she saw him, she couldn't hold back and just wanted to touch him to make sure he was really there.

She tilted her head back and raised her eyes, only to find a pair of bright green eyes staring right at her.

Kyle smiled, but he noticed the slight moisture in her eyes. He tapped her nose with his finger. Despite not exchanging words, he understood that she had gone through a lot. It wasn't just Yue, but all of his friends. They had gone through a lot during his absence.

"So, do you need help?"

Yue blinked and opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. The arm around her waist held her tightly, and she felt the familiar cold sensation on her skin, but it didn't feel bad.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed beneath them, and Kyle looked down at the large three-tailed monster that had just disturbed him. Yue noticed the faint annoyance in his eyes and blinked once again, unsure if he was the same person who barely talked to her before.

"I think Diora and her companion Hay have already reached the Divine rank. Last time they attacked, they just watched from a distance as their army fought against us."

Kyle listened attentively. He asked about Bia, only to find out that the phoenix is currently fighting alongside Mia near the human Kingdom.

Yue hesitated as she spoke her next words.

"King Istalian... the current King of the human Kingdom asked Bia for her blood. I don't know why, but he gave her a lot of resources in return."

Kyle furrowed his brow. Bia was influenced by his bloodline, which is why the phoenix's talent increased to the divine rank.

'Does she have divine energy in her body?'

The celestial essence inside him had only given Bia a small boost in her talent. She's still far from reaching the true divine rank.

'Maybe, like me, she also has a little bit of divine energy in her body even before reaching the true divine rank.'

But regardless, why on earth did Istalian want Bia's blood? Kyle mentally marked the man, even though he politely asked Bia for blood in exchange for resources. It could be because Bia got strong, and now Istalian can't easily mess with her. Not to mention the dark shadow Kyle saw with Istalian.

After talking for a while, Kyle finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask.

"What about Nine? And the Sea Continent? You haven't mentioned anything about them?"
