Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 533 Is it really you?

Kyle blinked and gazed at the dark ceiling quietly as he felt the warmth from the body above him that felt very familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.

A few fleeting images flashed through his mind and he tried to grasp them, but they slipped away from his reach as he stilled upon hearing a faint sob from the woman above him. She murmured softly.

"Kyle, Kyle, Kyle... is it really you?"

Kyle shut his eyes and clenched his fists as he heard Yue call out his name repeatedly, as if making sure he wasn't just a figment of her imagination. How he wondered she would react when she found out that he lacked all the memories related to her...

Instantly, a bitter sensation spread across his chest, and his heart pained whenever he heard Yue's sobbing voice. This sour feeling alone was enough to make him believe that she was truly his lover... The moment this thought crossed his mind, his body strangely relaxed.

His hands, which had been still beside him all this time, hovered above her, and when she called out his name once again, this time much louder, he wrapped one hand around her waist and placed the other on her head before whispering softly.

"Yes, its me."

He felt it distinctly when Yue's grip on him tightened, and she pressed her face further into his chest before calling out once again.

"Kyle..."

A mirthful chuckle rumbled out from his throat, and it was as if a knot loosened in his heart, he replied with a faint smile.

"Yes."

Yue nodded slightly and slowly but surely loosened her grip on him. Kyle noticed with a soft sigh that she didn't move and stayed still on him. They stayed on the floor in silence for a long time.

Kyle let out a hum and was surprised even at himself that his body didn't reject the warmth coming from her body.

He stared at the dark ceiling and started playing with her hair by running his fingers smoothly through her long locks. Her hair was smooth, silky, and emitted a pleasant scent. Unlike the countless scents that always overwhelmed him, this scent was gentle and gave him a nice feeling.

Kyle unconsciously tilted his head and buried his nose into Yue's neck to take another sniff of the sweet scent. Only after he had done so did he pause and blink, a bit surprised at his own actions, but before he could move back, the elven woman in his arms finally stirred.

Yue raised her face to stare at him with red-rimmed eyes. Clearly, she was happy to see him again, but she just couldn't stop the emotions she had been keeping inside herself from the moment she left the blue planet from bursting. Now that she had calmed down, she was feeling a bit embarrassed at her behavior.

Kyle tilted his head to get a better view of her face and raised his hand to tuck the locks of hair cascading down toward him behind her ears. He gazed into her eyes with a smile, but his next words caused Yue's already flushed face to turn an even brighter shade of crimson.

"Done crying?"

She rolled her eyes and let out a huff before softly punching his chest. However, she paused when Kyle wrinkled his brows as if her fist had caused him great pain.

"I didn't hit you that hard! No, I didn't even put pressure into it..."

Yue stared at her hand, thinking maybe she accidentally used divine energy. After all, she had been training non-stop, so perhaps she instinctively used it. Also, her fist was heavier than before. However, her eyes widened with disbelief when she saw how Kyle coughed to hide his laughter.

"You!"

She raised her fist to punch him again but stopped mid-way and released a breath. Yue decided to let it go because she was feeling happy after seeing him.

Kyle thought she would finally stand up, but how wrong he was because this time she just pressed her face into his neck. There was hesitation in Yue's voice when she spoke up again.

"So... how have you been? Are you angry that I left the planet without telling you? I am sorry. I thought I would be able to tell you, but it happened so suddenly..."

She paused for a bit and after gathering her thoughts started bombarding him with one question after another.

"How did you come to Sacred Divine land? What about Bia? No, how did you find me? What about the others?"

Kyle let out a chuckle and surprised Yue by grabbing her waist tightly before he stood up from the ground. She hastily wrapped her hands around his neck for support and stared at him unblinkingly. His movement faltered when he sensed her intense stare, but he quickly approached the bed in the distance and lowered her body onto it.

"Don't you think it's cold? The floor and then... my body as well."

She shook his head.

"Not really, it's fine, and the sensation is pleasant. Also, as long as I remember, your body has always been cold, so I was just a little surprised when it was even more colder than before."

Kyle raised his brow... so they have had intimate physical contact before? He quickly refocused his thoughts before they strayed in the wrong direction, but then his eyes landed on a familiar lynx peacefully sleeping in the center of the bed. He narrowed his eyes and approached the oblivious lynx.

Nox let out a startled gasp when Kyle grabbed his neck, and his eyes widened with shock when the human tossed him away from the bed as if he were a rag. He looked at Yue for comfort but despair clouded his gaze when he saw her eyes fixed on the silver-haired man. Instantly, a shuddering thought crossed his mind, it seems from now he had to get used this treatment. No way! Nox screamed in his head and wanted to jump toward Yue but when he saw Kyle he quietly turned around and accepted his fate.

Kyle glanced around. When he entered the room, he didn't notice, but it was completely empty, with nothing but a bed in the center, a table, and a chair on the right side. There wasn't even a window, and the dim light inside was coming from the two bright stones embedded in the walls.

He sat on the bed and placed his hands behind him to balance himself before looking at the elf who had been watching him. Yue blinked when he remained silent and asked again.

"So how have you been? Also, Bia, where is she? Why is she not with you?"

Kyle let out a thoughtful hum.

"Well, I'm doing alright, as you can see. As for Bia, I'm not sure. She has never been by my side for as long as I can remember."
