Chapter 223: Chapter 165 Crime before One’s Eyes
“Eh?”
“Why, why would Brother Xiya suddenly appear here?!”
When Tiya heard that familiar voice ing from outside the door, her petite body involuntarily trembled.
She had been trying to struggle out of Lynn’s palm just a moment ago, but now she sat on the ground, kneeling and dazed, her eyes showing a strong sense of disbelief.
Everything that happened tonight, according to her character, was not something she, as a Holy Lady who longed for serenity, should have done.
Whether meeting a strange man in secret or having physical contact with him.
Under normal circumstances, Tiya would probably have spent the whole night repenting before the goddess’s statue.
But she was ultimately too curious about the twelve years of memories she had lost, and so she fell for the bait Lynn had laid out in advance.
However, now, it seemed like everything was about to be exposed.
Especially the worst possible oute—being discovered by the one person whom Tiya had tried her best to keep it a secret from, the one she didn’t want to be misunderstood by.
At that moment, amidst extreme panic and helplessness, her mind stopped working.
The previous matters that had made her feel utterly terrified, such as why she would save him, and why she didn’t feel disgust after having physical contact with this guy, were all cast aside as inconsequential.
She utterly forgot that she was in disguise and not so easily recognizable.
But those gradually approaching footsteps sounded like some kind of countdown, each step knocking on her heart.
And the moment the other person pushed the door open would mark her “time of doom,” beyond defense.
No, no!
She had to do something!
The next second, Tiya finally snapped back to reality, wanting to shake off the detestable guy’s hand and immediately flee this place.
Yet, she realized that if she used her extraordinary power to escape here, it would undoubtedly cause a fluctuation of Moonlight Attribute power.
Xiya, with his beast-like sense of smell and intuition, would probably distinguish her presence in an instant.
bine that with the fact that Lynn was still at the scene, there would undoubtedly be misunderstandings difficult to explain.
What, what should she do?
For a moment, Tiya was utterly confused.
The girl, who usually responded like a doll, now unprecedentedly showed signs of panic.
Watching this scene unfold, Lynn felt a touch of emotion.
It wasn’t an emotion for the deep relationship between the original male and female leads of the novel, as it had nothing to do with him.
It was merely because the corrective power of the world’s will, manifesting in him, was so apparent.
According to the novel’s setup, the female lead secretly meeting with a strange man and having physical contact like now was an unforgivable mistake.
Thus, when Lynn tried to use this method to deviate the plot, the world will, seemingly nonexistent yet omnipresent, immediately descended to intervene in the most reasonable way, preventing him from steering the plot towards an irretrievable direction.
For Lynn, the fact that he wasn’t struck by lightning on the spot was already the gentlest handling of the situation.
Still, it was a pity.
Tonight was a good opportunity to increase the degree of plot deviation, and many other tactics he hadn’t had the chance to show.
Thinking this, he sighed silently in his heart.
It was time to wrap things up.
Watching Tiya, now utterly at a loss, he didn’t let go of her resisting hand but instead, gripped it a bit tighter.
“You… don’t want him to find out?”
At that moment, Lynn wasn’t wearing a mask, so his hesitant and struggling expression was clearly visible to Tiya.
However, with Tiya anxious about what to do, she was in no mood for idle talk with him.
“You… let go of me.”
The first word had barely left her mouth when Tiya felt her voice was too loud, and she quickly covered her mouth, giving Lynn an irritated glance, then whispered.
“If I let go, you’ll be discovered,” Lynn said in a tone that masked his emotions, “Some of your makeup has e off, and… is the effect duration of the Extraordinary Item about to expire?”
Observing Tiya’s hair roots gradually returning to light brown and her ears subtly sharpening, Lynn spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Tiya was startled and instinctively wanted to check her appearance, but then she realized she didn’t have a mirror and fell into despair.
A tear glistened in her green eyes.
She stubbornly raised her head, staring intently at the man who had put her in such a predicament and regretted why she had saved his life just before.
But the next second, a strange smile appeared in his eyes.
“Don’t worry, Voya. Since it is your wish, no matter what, I will help you fulfill it.”
“Even if it’s covering for a former lover, just to prevent misunderstandings with the person she’s now enamored with, it’s okay.”
“Even if… this is extremely cruel for someone who is deeply in love with her.”
For some reason, at that moment, although the young man was smiling, his smile was heartbreaking.
Even Tiya, for an instant, hesitated.
It was as if… she had done something excessive.
Tiya suddenly became somewhat dazed.
Then, under her stunned gaze, the man who should have disgusted her pulled her gently into his embrace.
The expected surge of disgust did not e.
