Sitting by Kreya's bedside, holding her hand tightly.

Looking at Kreya, who is valiant and elegant, mature on the outside, yet in front of him, she's like a shy young girl experiencing her first love.

These series of actions and reactions firmly grasp Kane's heart, absorbing his soul.

How can one not love a girl like this?

Kane reached out his other hand, gently extending it forward.

He gently caressed Kreya's smooth and soft cheek and gently lifted her lowered head.

Staring closely into her watery eyes, watching the faint blush spread across her face, he resisted the urge to lean forward.

"I have a gift for you, Kreya."

Nearing a state of dizziness, Kreya came back to her senses upon hearing Kane's words.

With puzzled eyes, she looked at Kane.

Kane smiled, then took out the iron box he had just prepared from his space equipment.

Kreya, receiving the iron box that Kane handed over, examined it carefully.

Seeing the modestly engraved patterns on the box, the meanings they conveyed filled Kreya's heart with sweetness.

Gently caressing the engravings on the iron box, she felt the metallic texture emanating from it.

At that moment, Kreya, sitting on the carpet, looked up at Kane and couldn't help but inch forward.

Then she opened her arms and tightly hugged Kane, burying her head against his chest.

Kreya's sudden behavior filled Kane's heart with delight, and he then gently embraced her with open arms.

The two of them quietly held each other like that, relishing in each other's warmth.

Their breaths drawing closer, their heartbeats gradually synchronizing.

Inhaling the light fragrance of Kreya's red hair, a gentle and delicate scent permeated his nostrils, invigorating his sense of smell and capturing her heart.

In this moment, they silently savored the sweetness of it all.

Before long, Kane slightly lowered his head, his cheek gently pressed against Kreya's, feeling the tenderness of her skin, whispering softly in her ear.

"Aren't you going to open it up to see what's inside?"

Upon hearing Kane's words, Kreya lifted her head, reluctantly withdrawing her hands to bring the iron box before her, gently opening the lid.

Looking at the gemstone inside, as beautiful as the night sky, Kreya noticed it was set on a thin transparent stick.

She gently took it out from the iron box.

"What is this thing?"

Looking at the item in her hand, Kreya couldn't quite grasp its purpose for a moment.

Listening to Kreya's question, Kane thought for a moment before saying, "An adornment from my beautiful homeland. Come, let me style your hair with it."

Although Kreya couldn't understand why Kane suddenly wanted to do her hair, she figured it must be related to the magical item in her hand, so she didn't refuse.

"Mm."

Upon hearing Kreya's consent, Kane took the wooden hairpin from her hand and stood up to move behind her.

In front of her, he created a mirror-like polished steel panel to serve as a dressing mirror.

Placing the [Forest's Son] into the enhancement slot, a wooden comb appeared in his hand.

Cradling her smooth and fragrant red hair, he began to comb it with the wooden comb.

After neatly combing it, he started to arrange her hair into an updo, leaving a strand, and finally fixed her hair with the wooden hairpin.

As the wooden hairpin was inserted into her hair, Kreya looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt that her complexion and facial features had become more harmonious and exquisite.

Noticing such a change, she immediately realized that the magical item must have an attribute of enhancing charm.

This is an attribute that would drive all female explorers crazy.

Kane moved around to the front of Kreya, admiring her current appearance.

The arranged red hair gave Kreya an added touch of delicate maturity, with a gemstone as beautiful as the night sky, hovering beside her red hair, slowly rotating.

It was as if she was now under a starlit sky.

Noticing Kane's expression, Kreya shyly asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Looking at Kreya at that moment, Kane didn't answer her question; instead, he took a step forward, holding her hands.

Because Kreya was sitting on the carpet, and Kane, standing, was taller by a head.

Watching Kane lower his head, quietly gazing into her eyes, a blush reappeared on Kreya's face, and she couldn't help but gently close her eyes.

Looking at Kreya at that moment, Kane couldn't resist leaning down.

"Ding dong! What are you guys playing? Can't I join too, Lirulu?"

Upon hearing Lirulu's voice, Kreya quickly stood up, patting her flushed cheeks.

With a somewhat flustered tone, she said, "N-nothing."

At that moment, Kane stood there with lifeless eyes, frowning at the suddenly appearing Lirulu.

This little rascal must have done it on purpose.

He could only think of using spider silk to tie Lirulu up and hang her from the ceiling.

Such a great opportunity was wasted.

Kane beat his chest in frustration internally.

But the rapidly warming feelings between him and Kreya today weren't bad either.

He could only comfort himself like this.

Watching Kreya hurriedly explaining to Lirulu, Kane smiled and said, "I'll head off for now. See you later."

Upon leaving the room, he found Longbei and Meizike sulking at the table in the living room.

At that moment, Longbei was regretting not catching Lirulu earlier, letting her slip in to disrupt his good brother's romantic moment.

Seeing the situation, thinking of Lirulu who had suddenly appeared earlier, Kane realized what had happened when he sat down on the chair next to them.

"When did you guys start watching?"

"The hair styling."

Hearing Meizike's answer, Kane secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That's okay then.

Meizike probably wouldn't lie about something like this.

But now Kane was a bit puzzled, how did they see Kane and Kreya's behavior?

He'd clearly been very vigilant.

"How did you see what was happening inside?"

Hearing Kane's question, the two looked at him as if he were an idiot. Longbei shook his head, pointing to Kreya's room.

Damn!

That's when Kane realized what had happened, smacking his forehead in frustration.

Only now did he remember that Kreya's whole room was filled with Lirulu's magic power, as her whole room was extensively altered by Lirulu's magic to accommodate her large size.

And those magical effects were still in place.

At that time, his mind was completely on Kreya, how could he remember such things, such a big mistake.

What a big mistake!

I'm so mad!

Seduced by a lovely woman, even his brain stopped working.

Kane silently warned himself to learn from this lesson well, to prevent further accidents in the future.

Also, he must find a way to teach this little rascal Lirulu a lesson.

What a nuisance!

Meanwhile, inside the room, Kreya was also grabbing Lirulu, pulling her cheeks apart with her hands.

As soon as Kane left, she realized what was going on.

"Lirulu's only thinking of your best interest. How could you let that despicable Kane succeed so easily?"

With her cheeks being pulled, Lirulu mumbled inarticulately, defending her actions.

"You dare peek at what we're doing, watch how I'll give you a good lesson today."

Then, she reached out to tickle Lirulu's sensitive spots.

"Hahaha, Lirulu, hahaha, I was wrong, hahaha, please spare me."

After playfully teasing Lirulu, she sent her off, warning her not to do it again next time.

Left alone, Kreya lay on her bed, looking at the [Under the Starry Sky] in her hand.

Her face was full of sweetness, and she couldn't help but smile foolishly.

Finally, she covered her head with the blanket, rolling back and forth, her legs kicking wildly.

The whole room echoed with her bell-like laughter.
