Ye Li looked curiously at the Crystal Princess's outfit—pure yet sexy.
She was no longer in that yellow-and-black-trimmed bodysuit, but instead wore white swimwear bottoms with a white T-shirt on top.
Ye Li knew there was nothing under the T-shirt... because when she struggled just now, he could feel it.
"What is it?"
Crystalia thought his words made some sense, so she stopped resisting, tugged at her shirt and said, "I heard from Silvija and the others that girls here all have to dress like this. This top is actually the one that covers the most…"
[So, you were tricked by them…]
Ye Li chuckled as he admired her figure. He'd seen plenty of swimsuits, but this plain white T-shirt had its own unique charm.
"Don't stare…" Crystalia shyly tightened her clothes.
She shouldn't have been this bashful, after all she'd already witnessed Ye Li's sea battle with Silvija and the wild balcony group dance.
But somehow, watching the waves crash against the shore, her heart was unsettled.
Perhaps because, on the moon, she'd never faced such a vast ocean head-on; the little princess was a bit unaccustomed.
And with someone's palm around her slim waist, the stimulation left her flustered…
Naturally, Ye Li read her emotions, so he didn't push further. Instead, he comforted her with conversation, "They say the tide can affect people. Do you feel that?"
"Yes, even though I can control the elements… there's just so much water here."
Crystalia was a little surprised, as if Ye Li knew exactly what she was thinking, "It feels like it's constantly rushing at us, leaving me at a loss…"
"Heh~"
Ye Li smiled gently, "There aren't such beautiful sights on the moon, right?"
"No."
Crystalia felt his warm hand and saw the rare gentle smile on his face. Her heart calmed a little, and she opened up.
"Attilan is all about order… I always felt a distance between myself and anyone outside the royal family…"
Ye Li: "You couldn't play with friends?"
"My friends… only my pet dog…"
Crystalia thought for a moment before answering.
"If I did have friends… I think it would be possible. I felt Miss Charlotte was nice—after you left yesterday, she took good care of me.
But my sister Medusa, her protective instincts are too strong. She wouldn't want me to just play with anyone…"
'So, she's a lonely little princess inside… all the better to win her over…'
Ye Li calculated in his mind, sliding his hand from her waist up to her shoulder, covering that small, rounded spot and drawing her closer. "This is a good place. Maybe you can spend more time here. The motto of Xia Weiwei's state is—Relax~"
"You say that so easily…"
The Crystal Princess's back tingled from his touch, her body softened, and she rested her head on his shoulder. "But my people still haven't been found. How can I relax…"
[The time has come…]
Ye Li, experienced as he was, knew this was the moment to strike. His hand slid from her swan-like neck up to the back of her head, stroking her smooth hair as he leaned closer. "Don't worry. I'll help you find them."
"Really…"
Crystalia was just about to pull back, but hearing his promise, she was surprised and distracted.
And so, her attempt to avoid him faltered, leaving her lips sealed by his—
"Mm…!"
The girl's eyes instantly widened, her spirit jolted: 'What—he actually snuck a kiss…'
'What should I do now… should I push him away…'
While she hesitated.
Ye Li's eyes suddenly grew deep, as if containing endless starlight…
Since refining the Sheep Talisman into his divine tool, his dream-making ability no longer required him to reveal those demonic, goat-patterned pupils.
