My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 357

357: Chapter 358: Master Kissed Me!!

This is…

A kiss?!

The thought exploded like a thunderbolt in her mind, and Vera’s cheeks swiftly turned crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading to the tips of her ears.

She subconsciously raised her hand to lightly touch her lips, which seemed to still retain a warm sensation.

The Master…

Kissed her!

After realizing this, Vera’s heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, and blood roared in her eardrums.

Previously, although she had close contact with Gu Xing, the most intimate action was limited to hugging.

As for going further…

With the presence of other Guardian Beasts, it was impossible to go further.

Moreover, she always knew Gu Xing’s thoughts…

A large part of them were with Liu Li!

Therefore, although she deliberately stayed close to Gu Xing, she also kept her distance clearly.

At this moment.

She secretly glanced at Gu Xing and found that the master’s ears were also unnaturally red, clearly remembering everything that had just happened.

At this moment, she felt that her past wrongdoings didn’t seem so significant anymore.

No matter what kind of punishment she might face…

As long as she was allowed to stay with the master, she wasn’t afraid!

Seeing Gu Xing about to turn his head back…

She hurriedly lowered her head again, her fingers unintentionally twisting the corner of her clothes.

The words of a solemn apology she wanted to say got stuck in her throat, and her mind was filled with intimate moments shared with Gu Xing.

The Master kissed her!!

And at this time, Gu Xing was also in a chaotic state of mind, completely unaware of Vera’s odd behavior.

Previously, in order to awaken Vera from the Insect Emperor’s Will’s corrosion, he had to use the powers of Emperor’s Might and Divine Pattern…

And he needed to apply an extremely strong stimulus to Vera to successfully awaken her.

In his urgency, he couldn’t think of any other way to provide Vera with enough stimulation.

Therefore…

In an impulsive moment, he acted as he did.

Now that he was sober…

Gu Xing only realized that his actions were inappropriate.

Even though Vera was his Guardian Beast, making such intimate actions with his Guardian Beast…

Gu Xing wanted to apologize to Vera but realized her status wasn’t right at the moment.

The words stuck in his mouth were swallowed back down.

Looking at Vera’s lowered head, her flushed ear tips, and the slender fingers twisting the corner of her clothing absentmindedly, he suddenly realized…

Any explanation or apology about that act might make the situation even more awkward.

He coughed softly, rigidly changing the subject, his voice carrying a faint tension:
“Ve…Vera, is there any other discomfort with your body now…?”
Vera shivered slightly at his words, wrenching herself from the chaotic thoughts.

She quickly checked her body’s status, shaking her head.

The dark red pollution that had previously lurked deep in her consciousness had been completely purified.

Now, her body contained only pure Power of Life and…

The lingering warm memory on her lips!

“N-no…”
She replied, her voice as small as a mosquito’s, still not daring to raise her head.

“That’s good.”
Gu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and continued to digress:
“No…now that you’ve recovered, I’ll leave here first!”
After all, being in Vera’s inner world for too long might affect her.

Therefore, after saying this, Gu Xing planned to exit Vera’s inner world.

However…

Just as Gu Xing was about to exit…

Vera suddenly raised her head, blushing, and mustered the courage to speak:
“Master, thank you!”
Gu Xing’s leaving body stiffened, then relaxed.

“You are my Guardian Beast!”
The few words completely expressed Gu Xing’s attitude.

Guardians and Beast Masters are meant to be the closest companions.

To say thank you seemed unnecessary.

Soon, Gu Xing’s figure completely disappeared from Vera’s inner world.

And Vera stood silently in place at that moment, gazing in the direction where Gu Xing disappeared, gently touching her lips.

Her eyes slowly closed, feeling the warmth left by Gu Xing.

After a long while.

Vera’s voice echoed throughout the entire inner world.

“Master!

Vera doesn’t seem to be able to let you go!”
Once, she constantly fought with Liu Li for Gu Xing’s affection.

But everyone knew Liu Li’s particular importance to Gu Xing, and she never thought she could take Liu Li’s place.

But now…

Vera’s eyes slowly opened.

The previously destroyed inner world was renewed at this moment.

Only, compared to before the destruction, there were several shadows of Gu Xing within.

“Master!

Vera now…doesn’t seem to want to retreat!”
…

At the same time.

Gu Xing’s consciousness slowly surfaced from deep waters, gradually returning to his body.

His senses were restored one by one; the first was the cold, hard stone floor of the arena and the real, soft touch in his arms.

Vera was held tightly in his arms.

Almost simultaneously, a strong sense of guilt fiercely swept over his heart.

He instinctively, somewhat hurriedly, loosened his embrace around Vera, the movement carrying a slight stiffness barely noticeable.

His gaze urgently passed over Vera’s shoulder, quickly searching for that familiar figure.

His sight fixed not far away.

Liu Li knelt on one knee, the Sword of Destruction beside her supporting her wavering body.

Although her wounds had stopped bleeding, her pale face and the conviction to not fall told of the fierce battle she just experienced.

At this moment, she was slightly panting, her golden-red eyes unwaveringly fixed on him.

That gaze was filled with intense worry and fear.

When her eyes met Gu Xing’s, Liu Li visibly sighed in relief.

Her always tense shoulders slightly sagged, her voice raspy with survival:
“Master…are you okay?”
She didn’t ask what happened in Vera’s inner world, nor did she care about her injuries; her first concern was his safety.

This question was like a needle, lightly piercing the softest part of Gu Xing’s heart.

Guilt hit like a tide, instantly drowning him.

He was such a bastard.

Gu Xing quickly walked to Liu Li, crouched down, and let his gaze fall on her shoulder where the non-bleeding but still hideous wound was, his throat tightening.

He wanted to reach out to touch and inspect but feared hurting her, his hand hovering in mid-air.

“I’m fine,” his voice was deep, “Liu Li, your wound…”
Liu Li shook her head decisively, “I’m fine, Master, it will heal in time!”
Then, Liu Li asked about Vera:
“Master, how is Vera?”
Hearing Liu Li mention Vera, Gu Xing’s body instinctively tensed.

After a while, he stammered somewhat:
“She…she’s okay too!”
Upon hearing Gu Xing’s answer, Liu Li heaved a sigh of relief.

Although she didn’t like the Green Tea Spirit, they were comrades.

She couldn’t truly hope for something to happen to Vera!
