Book 4: Chapter 105: One Good Turn Deserves Another

Lesiah frowned. Her eyes were fixed on Lilith, who was still slumbering like Sleeping Beauty. She had a peaceful look on her face, as her chest undulated with every breath. Apart from her slightly pale face, she looked nothing like someone who was dying, as how Sae put it.

She was still brimming with the vigor of a tiger just before, but looked like a withering autumn leaf now. This contrast just felt so unreal to Lesiah. Were they really... out of options? Were they going to just watch Lilith die while doing nothing?

Memories from the past two days that she spent with Lilith replayed in her mind. She felt nothing but hate toward her. But why did she feel so heartbroken watching Lilith’s life slowly fade away?

Sae continued grumbling at the side. There wasn’t even a single piece of useful information, she was just ranting. And Lesiah knew that no one could save Lilith without any prerequisite, just as Sae had told her. They needed the natural treasures of heaven and earth.

A self-deprecating laugh escaped Lesiah. As the eldest princess of the Macedonian Empire, she was served at least a hundred exotic dishes made of such precious ingredients on a daily basis. She basically took only a bite of every dish and sent them away. Little did she expect there would come a time she needed those things so desperately.Finnd new chapters on nove/lbin(.)com

This must be karma.

“Is there really... no other way?” Lesiah repeated her question again persistently.

“No. I have already told you, there is no other option aside from replenishing Lady Lilith’s stamina with natural treasures. Sigh, if only there is a demon beast around here. I heard their blood makes great tonic.”

Sae shook her head pitifully, but deliberately gave some hints. The princess’ eyes instantly lit up as her gaze fell on her wrist. There wasn’t any demon beast’s blood, but a warrior’s blood could be considered a natural treasure of heaven and earth, right?

“Ohoo, art thou planning to feed Lady Lilith thy blood? This is indeed a sound plan to save her. But a word of advice, thou art are dehydrated right now. Excessive blood loss can lead to death.”

The hand which Lesiah held a dagger with to slit her wrist froze for a moment. It was but a brief pause and in the next moment, she slit her wrist without any hesitation. She quickly put Lilith’s head on her lap and adjusted it so that all her blood could flow into the latter’s mouth.

Feeling sustenance flowing into her mouth, Lilith involuntarily latched her mouth onto the wound on Lesiah’s wrist and started sucking, even though she was still deep in sleep.

“Hnnghh...”

A cute moan escaped Lesiah’s lips. The sensation of Lilith’s tongue running along her wound made her feel... a little strange.

“Hmm... Love is indeed great. It moves me to tears.”

Sae pretended to wipe the non-existent tear from her eyes but failed to hide the mischievous smile from creeping up onto her face.

Of course, she had lied about the fact that Lilith was dying. Lilith managed to survive severe injuries back then, there was no way she would kick the bucket just because her internal organs weren’t in the right places.

Her academy uniform turned into a pile of rags after only being worn for a few days. If Elder Mord knew, he’d be so pissed that his curly cowlick would tremble. However, all these didn’t matter anymore. Most importantly... she was famished and thirsty.

It was just as Sae said, she had seriously over-exhausted her body. She fished out a large amount of food from her storage ring and started munching. Since Lesiah had fed her her own blood, she couldn’t possibly let her down. She must bring her out of here and to safety.

And to do that, recovering her stamina would be her first priority. While eating, Lilith sighed at the little mountain of food in front of her. For the very first time, she regretted bringing only meat with her. If only she had liquid food, Lesiah would be able to recover for a little.

“Lady Lilith, I have an idea.”

Sae could read Lilith’s mind like an open book. She leaned into her ear and whispered sneakily, “You could...”

Lilith’s eyes widened at her suggestion, so shocked that she forgot to continue chewing. She stole a glance at Lesiah’s pale lips then asked, “Are you sure that’s okay?”

“Of course. You have to believe in my experience, Lady Lilith. After all, I didn’t live millions of years for nothing...”

Lilith gulped down her food, and then hesitated. “But isn’t... that kind of inappropriate...? With Lesiah’s temper, she will definitely get mad and call me a pervert again.”

“What do you mean inappropriate... You are just trying to save her, just like how she saved you, Lilith. One good turn deserves another, I’m sure she won’t blame you...”

“For real?”

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you, Lady Lilith...” Sae winked at her.

“Alright then.” Lilith licked her lips and smiled like a gentleman.

“Let’s hope you are right.”

She tore off a chunk of meat, chewed it thoroughly in her mouth until the food turned into a liquid that could be easily swallowed. She gently lifted Lesiah’s head while chanting a mantra in her heart.

This isn’t taking advantage, this isn’t taking advantage, this isn’t taking advantage... It’s for the sake of saving Lesiah! This isn’t taking advantage!

Then, she smashed her lips against Lesiah’s.

......

Lesiah opened her eyes... Only to see a pair of greasy lips with a piece of meat dangling off the corner enlarging in her view.
