BXBX NOVEL Chapter 443: Will That Thing Even Fit Me?
"Okay." Lily nodded.
A minute later, the two parted and both glanced at the handsome young man, who was being pestered by Lyall for a hug.
"Come on. I\'m just asking for another hug," Lyall pouted. "Is that too much to ask?"
"I already allowed you to hug me earlier, but you squeezed my butt after," Ethan replied as he eyed the red-haired beauty in front of him. "Just why would you do that?"
"Ethan, as your future sister-in-law, I have to check the goods and make sure they are of high quality," Lyall replied in a serious tone. "Don\'t worry. I promise I won\'t squeeze anything this time. If you\'re really worried, I can hug you from behind…"
The young lady then briefly glanced at Ethan\'s lower region for a split second before raising her head to give him a sweet smile.
\'Damn, did you see that?\' Sebastian asked. \'This girl is planning to squeeze Ethan down there if he allows her to hug him from behind.\'
\'A very commendable trait—except that this girl is one of those crazies,\' Ethan\'s Other Half replied. \'She\'s not allowed to be part of the Family Tree. I forbid it!\'
Ethan took a few steps back in order to distance himself from Lyall. He could tell that Lily\'s sister was up to no good, so he decided to stay as far away from her as humanly possible.
"Tsk!" Lyall clicked her tongue.
However, she no longer hid her desires this time and blatantly stared at Ethan\'s lower region, as if she were a connoisseur appraising some kind of delicious food.
"Will that thing even fit me?" Lyall muttered subconsciously. "Lily managed to take it, so I\'m sure I can do it as well."
Suddenly, her vision was blocked by her younger sister, making her shake her head helplessly.
"Behave yourself," Conall lightly tapped Lyall\'s shoulder, making the latter stick her tongue out in his direction.
"Have a safe journey, Mother," Ethan said as he extended his hand to shake Leah\'s hand. "I\'ll come to see you and father as soon as I can."
Leah held the young man\'s hand and shook it twice. But she didn\'t let go of his hand right away.
"Ethan, make sure to come prepared," Leah said in a serious tone. "If you face my husband half-heartedly, you will definitely regret it."
"Understood, Mother," Ethan replied.
Lily\'s mother finally let the young man\'s hand go, but Lyall snatched it and shook Ethan\'s hand vigorously.
"I will also tell Father that you want me to be your Mate," Lyall said passionately. "I will wait for you in Southshire. Don\'t keep me waiting for long, okay?"
After saying those words, she let go of Ethan\'s hand and ran away with a reddened face.
"Mother, make sure to stop her from saying that nonsense okay?" Ethan stated.
"Don\'t worry," Leah replied. "I\'m sure that she\'s just teasing you… maybe."
The corner of Conall\'s lips twitched because he understood what was going on inside his sister\'s mind right now.
\'I worry about the future.\' Conall sighed in his heart. \'I better clear things up with Father before he misunderstands.\'
Lily, who could guess what her brother was thinking, gave him a hug before asking him to make sure that Lyall didn\'t cause trouble after returning to Southshire.
A few minutes later, Leah, Conall, and Lyall finally left, leaving Ethan and Lily behind.
"You can now breathe a little easier," Ethan said as he hugged Lily from behind. "Your family will not trouble you for the time being."
"How brave of you to hug me just a hundred meters away from the Academy Gates," Lily replied, but she didn\'t make any move to break free from Ethan\'s hold. "Are you not afraid that my Fans Club is going to target you if they see us like this?"
"I\'m not afraid of them," Ethan whispered in Lily\'s ear. "Tomorrow afternoon, I\'ll leave the academy to head to the Royal Capital. So, why don\'t we head to Limeburgh Town with Luna after class?"
"Sounds like a plan," Lily replied before lightly tapping Ethan\'s arms that were wrapped around her body. "Now, let\'s hurry before someone really sees us."
Ethan nodded and released his lover, but not before giving her a kiss on the cheek, which made the young lady smile sweetly from ear to ear.

Somewhere in the Great Eagle Forest…
"Ethan is carrying a Fomorian Egg?" Koko asked in disbelief. "How did he even come into possession of such a thing? Also, why didn\'t you confiscate it?"
"I can\'t do that, Koko," Professor Rinehart replied. "It was entrusted to him by the Founder of the Academy."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously."
The Giant Spider, Broodmother, was also making chirping noises, making her dissatisfaction known to the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy.
"Are you sure that\'s the right decision?" the White Unicorn commented. "You should be the one holding onto it to keep it safe. A mere student holding that thing will just cause problems in the future."
"As I told you, I can\'t do that," Professor Rinehart sighed. "Look, the Founders of the Academy have left behind their Wills.
"They are to choose the most promising student within their respective Manors and bestow upon them gifts, resources, and knowledge that will help them defend the academy from future threats.
"Since the Golden Egg came from Fortis Dud, it\'s something that I cannot forcefully take away. It was his, and he chose Ethan as his representative."
The three of the most powerful Magical Beasts that lived in the Great Eagle Forest glanced at each other before sighing at the same time.
"Fine," the White Unicorn commented. "Since this is something related to your academy, we will no longer dwell on it. However, are you starting to prepare for the re-emergence of the Fomorians in the Shire Continent?"
"I am." Professor Rinehart nodded. "The King has also been informed of the situation. For the time being, you can rest easy that there will be no grand invasion happening anytime soon.
"At most, they will send a handful of elites to scout and gather information. We just need to keep our eyes and ears open so that we can catch them before they can create a foothold here in Eastshire."
Professor Rinehart wasn\'t afraid of facing the giant Fomorians, who were born for war.
What he was wary of were the intelligent ones, who were born with Human forms.
Since they looked exactly like Humans, it would be easier for them to mingle with the people of the land, allowing them to roam everywhere, undetected by the Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Beastkins, and Fae, who jointly ruled the lands of the Shire Continent.
