Chapter 666 - 642: A Scotch
Alex was mesmerized by the scene before him.
Beautiful white hair, a pair of piercing blue eyes that could freeze any weak-willed individual's soul, that cold face that shows that she doesn't care about anything. All of this was simply,
''Beautiful!" Alex complimented before feeling chill; he didn't know since when, but the whole suite had been turned into ice.
''Wow!" Alex mumbled while getting ready to use Erase to cancel the ice when things would go out of control but soon found out that he worried for nothing.
The floating Maria descended and clapped twice, and immediately following this gesture; everything was back to normal.
Without waiting for her to say something, Alex said with a wide smile on his face.
''I guess my method worked then.''
''Yeah, you're a genius to have thought of such a method,'' Maria responded; her hair had turned black again, completely black. She sauntered forward and arrived before Alex in the blink of an eye; this time, she was the one to initiate a kiss.
The two kissed passionately; maybe it was because she gained her strength back, but her body temperature was lower than that of a normal person, not that Alex mind such a minor detail.
After hugging for a while, they got separated while still holding hands. Staring into those ice-blue eyes, Alex remarked.
''Your eyes have become more beautiful.''
''Is that true?" Maria asked, and Alex nodded before asking.
''Nothing strange after you have recovered?"
Maria shook her head. ''Nothing strange, on the contrary, I feel powerful than beautiful, and my body is perfectly fine, stronger than ever.''
Her words made Alex happy, but just to be sure, he asked her to check her status, and she was greatly surprised.
''I see, I understand now. Check for yourself.''
Alex immediately used the Eye of Truth on Maria and saw her new status.

''Not bad, it seems that you can use your ability immediately, which is a good thing. I believe that must be a time limit, but this limit can be overcome as you progress.''
''You are right. Although I have lost two levels, it's nothing I can increase them again but what I'm happy about is my MP increased. As for my Ice Empress Mode, as you have said, there's a time limit. Currently, I can only use it for three seconds. Some might say that it is too short, but remembering what I can do in this mode, all I have to say is it worth it.''
Hearing Maria talks like that made Alex want to fight her to find out how strong this mode was. Unknowingly his lips curved upward to form the same smile he had when he was about to face a strong enemy, and Maria had seen this smile many times already; her glass heart began beating rapidly, and her mouth also formed a smile.
''It seems that you want to spar with me? Shall we head out?'' Maria asked while she began preparing for a fight.
''Sure! I would want that, but now isn't the time. Let's enjoy tonight and spend more time doing nothing until we arrive at our destination. What do you say?'' Instead of accepting the fight, Alex suggested that they enjoyed their time together as they would have many opportunities to fight later.
''Okay!" Maria reluctantly accepted; she wished to show her man who strong she had become.
That night they slept peacefully, and soon a new day had begun.
Arriving at the bar, Alex leaned onto it, raising one hand and one finger to catch the grey-haired boy in a neat, short-sleeved vest and top.
''A Scotch, please.'' He ordered; he was pleasantly surprised last night when he found out that they had something that looked like scotch from Earth. Today would be his first time trying.
The bartender nodded and served the scotch in a flash together with a bit of ice mixed in. Alex nodded and took a sip; hell, it was indeed a scotch.
Alex left the bar and turned to the pool, fifteen short steps; he was at the thick bartop railing and settled himself on a stool beneath it. His heterochromia eyes scanned the several men and women and soon fell to Maria, who was half-submerged till her eyes were the only thing on display. Constantly darting around as she pushed herself against the wall, not wanting to get anywhere near the other swimmers ogling at her hourglass figure.
''What a sight,'' Alex mumbled as he watched Maria's water cloaked body escape the water, her skin now glistening, causing her swimsuit to wrap up tighter around her body than before. She was in a black swimsuit. Arriving by their seats, she grabbed her towel and began drying herself off. When she moved to sit, she then balled herself up and wrapped herself in it like a blanket.
Carrying his drink, Alex went down; he arrived before Maria, who lifted her head and smiled when she saw him.
''A Scotch this early in the morning?" She asked while leaning into her chair. Sitting beside her, Alex took a sip of his scotch and shrugged his shoulders.
''Well, I'm homesick, so I thought to drink something that could calm me down. So, I ordered this drink. Now I'm not homesick anymore.''
Upon hearing his reply, the corners of Maria's mouth lifted into a smile. She extended her hands, clapped twice, and soon after, the same bartender boy that served Alex earlier drifted toward them.
''The same drink as this gentleman.'' She said.
''Certainly.'' the grey-haired bartender boy nodded before disappearing, and soon he was back again with Maria's drink.
When she tasted it, she nodded.
''It has a smoky flavor, and as you said, I'm not feeling homesick anymore.''
It was Alex's turn to be amused.. It was like this the two enjoyed their morning.
