Chapter 559 - Duna\'s Potty Mouth
She continued to sit on the edge of the Great Wall with dangling feet and continued to observe the enormous rift below while listening to the wall\'s creaking sound.
"The Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow and Blue Luan\'s battle came abruptly. We were unable to save everyone…" Aria shook her head and began answering Leon\'s question, "Quite a few people have lost their lives, but we did what we could to save everyone that could be saved."
"Un. Some casualties are expected when disasters strike so suddenly. As long as you know you did your best, there\'s no need to feel burdened by the inevitable," Leon rubbed Aria\'s head, thinking she needed comfort.
"Mm." Aria enjoyed Leon\'s caress for a moment before she hesitated, "It\'s just that…"
"It\'s just that…?"
"Duke Ignis went missing."
"What?" Leon shortly pulled away from Aria before gazing into her eyes directly with shock, "Duke Ignis went missing?"
Aria nodded.
"Duke Ignis was believed to be working inside the nearby forges when the ground collapsed and swallowed by the rift."
After hearing this, Leon fell silent.
However, it was not long before Duna suddenly uttered, "Hey, there seem to be some people still alive down there."
Leon quickly made his way to Duna\'s side and glanced down into the rift with narrowed eyes. He followed Duna\'s pointed finger towards the molten side before he noticed a few figures moving ever slightly.
"Duke Ignis might still be alive." Leon exclaimed with surprise before he directed, "Stay here. I will go down and check by myself. You two might get hurt by the golden flames."
"Have fun," Duna said casually.
Aria gave her glare before nodding to Leon, "Be careful."
"Rest assure, Aria. If a few blacksmiths can survive the golden flames and scorching heat down there, I should be fine," Leon smiled.
He found it quite fortunate that the Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow\'s awakened bloodline was not very high.
It had terrifying brute strength, but its golden flames were far from being on the same level.
Shortly after Leon descended down towards the molten side, the scorching temperatures quickly rose the closer he approached.
Blacksmiths were lucky to still be alive due to their cultivation at the 3-Star Ranked Awakener Realm, but their bodies were scorched badly.
As for everyone else below this level, it seemed that they did not make it.
Leon channeled Wood Energy in his hands and grabbed the few badly-scorched blacksmiths out of the molten soil and brought them back to safety.
After popping Tier 2 All-Purpose Healing Pills into their mouths, Leon resumed his search for Duke Ignis at the bottom.
However, Duke Ignis was nowhere to be seen.
Back on the Great Wall, Aria shifted her attention back on Duna after being left alone together.
"What\'s your relationship with Leon?" Aria inquired carefully.
"Hm?" Duna turned her head towards Aria before nonchalantly responded, "What does that have to do with you?"
"I\'m his wife!" Aria spouted with a subtle blush.
"Wife, huh? I don\'t see your wedding ring anywhere." Duna stated with amusement while studying Aria\'s expression.
However, Aria quickly lifted up her hand and showed Duna her black Interspatial Ring, "This is my wedding ring!"
The red shade on Aria\'s cheek grew deeper at her own lies.
Although Aria and Leon had acknowledged each other as husband and wife, they had yet to undergo the official rites of the wedding ceremony.
"That\'s a wedding ring?" Duna\'s lips twitched slightly after gazing at the black ring. If her soulmate gave her such an ugly and cheap-looking wedding ring, she would butcher the person.
"Well, whatever works, I suppose." Duna shrugged nonchalantly before deciding to answer Aria\'s previous question, "We are…"
After a brief pause, her lips curved slightly before she decided to spout, "We are f*ck buddies, I suppose."
"W-W-What did you just say?" Aria was immediately dumbfounded by what came out of Duna\'s mouth. It was not that she did not hear it, but that she could not believe it.
How can a lady that looks so innocent and pure like Duna in her white snowy dress and fair skin say such a thing?
"You heard it correctly. We are f*ck buddies!" Duna grinned wicked.
"Stop saying that!" Aria\'s face was flushed more deeply than when she was spouting lies about her own marriage. "How can a lady say such a thing?"
"What\'s the big deal? It\'s not like you are chaste anymore. Why the need to act innocent? Why don\'t you tell me about your experiences, and I\'ll share mine with you too?" Duna suggested with a casual look.
"This isn\'t even about being chaste or not! It\'s about the conservativeness of a proper lady!" Aria felt her face burning with embarrassment when faced with Duna\'s straightforwardness. "Don\'t you feel any shame?"
"You want to preach to me about being a proper lady? Me? A spirit? Really? What is shame? Can it be eaten? There are really only three you should remember about me; I say whatever I want, do whatever, and f*ck whoever I want." Duna spoke with three fingers raised before she added after a brief pause, "But then again, I\'m not all that interested in this matter, and we are only f*ck buddies in spirit."
"What does that even mean?" Aria\'s raised her brow in confusion. To begin with, how can a human and spirit do \'that\' together?
Duna grinned before she said, "The literal meaning. If you want to hear more about it, I don\'t mind telling you about our pleasurable experience together. Come closer. I\'ll tell you all about it~!"
"I\'m not interested in listening!" Aria spat with a red face before she hopped onto her ice-lightning sword and fled towards the Elder Tree\'s direction like a frightened rabbit.
Duna looked at Aria\' retreating back and smirked smugly and proudly in triumph, \'Want to compete with me? You\'re too green, little girl!\'
