CHAPTER 120: ENVY’S NEW SENSITIVE SPOT

The snow glowed magically amongst the moonlit night; a serene scenery wrapping frosts and time in a delicate bundle.

With Witch hats discarded beside them, Mel and Lila perched on a Ka-broom hovering inches above the ground, gazing at the frozen tree ahead.

"Hm..." The Witch of Envy rubbed her eye, cheek burrowing on Mel’s shoulder. "I’m so sleepy..."

"Tired of playing a goddess?" Mel smiled, her right arm wrapping around Lila’s neck, palm smoothing over the emerald grey hair.

"It just feels surreal." Lila glanced up, her numb arm stretch to catch a snowfall.

The snow and ice droplets melted into her skin; a tiny puddle of her own creation.

"I can see why you hold this secret from me," a hushed chuckle escaped Lila’s lips. "Even I would be shocked that I... I can do this much."

"As if the World were in your very palm?"

Mel’s gaze snagged on Lila’s bared shoulder; milky skin glistened with snowmelt and sweat.

Her mouth watered. Leaning down, her tongue darted out to taste the slope of Lila’s shoulder.

"It feels alright... a little like finding a new toy to play with..." As Mel’s tongue slicked up and reached her neck, a blush bloomed in her cheeks. "Not as good as you, though, Mel..."

Mel narrowed her eyes with joy, savoring the sweat like iced dessert as she licked the beads away.

"Seeing me as a toy now? Hehe." With a parted mouth, she nipped on the neck. "Thank you, Lila."

"Mm... hehehe..." Lila chuckled, her bubbly warmth surfacing from the chest as her hand found Mel’s hair.

"Thank you, Mel."

The voice was so calm and sincere that Mel withdrew from Lila’s cheek to lock onto her eyes.

Even through her exhaustion, the emerald eyes glimmered with affection that fluttered her heart.

Like a magnet pulling them, their lips nudged and collided into a tender kiss.

Both their palms slipped further into each other’s hair, hoping to enrapture the other for herself.

[ Envy Favourability: 99% - 111% ]

After one deepening press of their lips, Mel pulled back, eyes curved with delight.

Lila’s eyes were watered, her thighs clenching together in unspoken wants.

Mel stroked her left thigh idly, her hand still on Lila’s shoulder. "Want to have more fun tonight?"

A slight shake, then Lila pouted. "Let me rest."

"Sorry, sorry!" Mel nodded, her fingers dancing up near Lila’s skirt. "Shall I have you deactivate the Witch form?"

"Witch form? Is it what this is called?" Lila tilted her head, emerald hair fluttering down at her lips. "So... I’m a Witch like you too?"

"Yep. Stronger than me, in a sense!" Mel rested her cheek on the shoulder, a gesture Lila loved in the past.

With a murmuring voice, she teased further with a grin.

"So theoretically, you can outlast me in bed in your Witch Form..."

A hiccup pressed into Lila’s throat, as her cheeks reddened to a tomato. "Mel!"

"Ah-hahaha!" Mel let out an open laugh, contrasting her foxy self with restraints.

Lila’s reaction to her Witch Form has been lukewarm, as she liked, and Mel liked how their romance overshadowed Lila’s newfound satisfaction with her strength.

"So shall I teach you how to deactivate the Witch Form?"

"Uh-not now though." Lila hung her head, her head nuzzling to Mel’s like a pillow.

"I release too much power at first han..." Awkwardness lingered as she mumbled. "I need to find time and stop this snow before it... uh..."

"Change the climate of the entire World?" Mel chuckled. "You do realise it was too late for that, right?"

"Let me try a little at least..." Lila moved her head in tiny shake, fraying Mel’s hair in protest. "I can reverse it somehow, properly."

Mel’s fingers stilled on Lila’s thigh, biting back the mention of Maria’s possible solution.

Yet aside from her Partner’s Exarch Ranked strength, which couldn’t outclass a Demi god ranked, Mel also wished Lila to be more used to her own strength.

"Alright, I respected your judgement." Mel jerked her head against Lila’s, firmer to express her doting love. "Unfortunately, I have some clean-up work to do."

"Of course... hehehe..." Lila’s expression melted. "Please pamper me more after that."

"Oh, for sure." Withdrawing and pecking a kiss on Lila’s hair, she summoned another Ka-broom.

With a swoosh, she plopped down on it, facing Lila on the opposite side, their knees facing each other.

A soft smile curled Lila’s lips. In her Witch Form, she knew exactly what Mel sought, and also knew Mel’s Witch form could outlast any of the Cultists she would soon defeat.

Her leg swayed, toes skimming up Mel’s thigh until they reached her lap.

"Stay safe." Lila giggled as Mel’s finger traced circles against her foot. "And try not to hurt them too much for fun."

"That I would refuse."

With a smirk, Mel’s index and thumb wrapped around Lila’s toe, sliding the digits together. "I could’ve had a more peaceful night with you if not for them, so they’d make excellent venting tools."

"Is that so..." Lila sighed, her Emerald eyes flickering uphill at the forest. "What about the guests that would soon arrive here? And... her?"

Mel’s smile widened before her nail tickled right in the middle of Lila’s foot.

"Hic!" With a flushed face, Lila retracted her foot. "Mel! Don’t... it’s a little..."

"I’ll remember when we do it, Lila~"

Not avoiding the earlier question, Mel’s teasing voice trailed off as she ascended with the Ka-broom.

"Stay here. She’s on our side so you’ll be the safest here."

Then, with a little twirl of ka-broom to head east, Mel waved with a soft face. "Until then."

Lila’s face beamed behind sealed lips, until the smile broke free, too wide to contain.

"Until then!"

With a bit of laughter, Mel’s ka-broom bolted Eastward uphill, before sweeping through the forest.

"Alright. Maria!"

Confirming Lila’s afar, Mel immediately called out to her trusty Partner.

"Tell me all of the Cult’s headquarters now. Yes. All of them!"

It’s time to completely destroy the Cult in Embervale.
