Chapter 335 Apologetic Smiles and Soft Thuds
The flustered old man stuttered as he was jolted awake from his daze, "Y-yes, Princess, just a moment..." He quickly rummaged through a box filled with teleport glyphs, but in his haste, he accidentally knocked it over, scattering the glyphs all over the floor in a chaotic mess.
"I'm so sorry, Your Highness" he apologized to Lia, his face red with embarrassment. He bent down to collect the glyphs, his hands shaking slightly.
Rio couldn't help but find the old man's nervousness amusing. After all, it wasn't every day that such a stunning group of women walked into the teleporter tower. Lia's ethereal beauty was well-known, and with Layla by her side, the duo created quite a sensation. Layla was no less striking than Lia, making them a pair of otherworldly beauties.
Helia and Nyla might have been overshadowed by Lia and Layla, but they were undeniably beautiful in their own right. It was rare for anyone to encounter such an extraordinary group of women all at once, which explained the old man's blunder. Moreover, they were all Emperor's young daughters, and a niece, which made the situation even more intense for everyone.
Soon, the old man's eyes shone as if he had seen a ray of hope. He picked up the correct teleport glyph from the ground, relieved that he had finally found the one for the Firelands.
He stood up, no longer in an embarrassed state, and respectfully turned to Helia. "Here you go, princess," he said, handing over the correct glyph with a bright smile.
As the old man finally handed over the correct glyph, the group couldn't help but share a small smile at his effort and nervousness in finding the right one. They were now ready to embark on their journey together.
Helia took the glyph and confidently led the group toward the special room where the royal family's ascended platform was located. Lia and the others followed closely behind, eager to start their adventure.
The blonde-haired beauty was the first to ascend, followed by Rio. The girl was nervous as Rio stood right next to her, unaware that Helia's heart was beating frantically just by this small action. Nyla stood by Rio's side, while Lia and Layla surrounded them like two caring mothers, as if the whole group were their children, despite the fact that they were Rio's wives.
As Helia stood like a statue because Rio was standing beside her, Lia noticed her reaction and said in an amusing tone, "Helia???"
Nyla understood why Helia was stunned and just giggled, not letting others know.
Helia realized how she was acting, and her cheeks turned bright red. She was overwhelmed by her feelings for Rio, but she knew she had to control herself.
She quickly broke the teleport glyph, and a tear appeared in the space before them. The portal's power was strong that it started sucking the five figures in.
Rio and the rest of the group were quickly pulled into the portal, disappearing from view. The space rift closed behind them, leaving no trace of their presence.
***
A space rift ripped open, and Rio was thrown out of the portal, tumbling onto the ground. He took a few deep breaths to recover from the sudden shock when Lia and Layla landed on top of him with a soft thud, causing him to grunt.
"Sorry, Husband..." Lia said, a hint of embarrassment in her voice.
Layla added, "Ah, Rio... I'm so sorry." Her face was flushed with a mixture of guilt and amusement.
Both of Rio's women offered him apologetic smiles before gracefully standing up, brushing off any dirt on their clothes.
As Rio struggled to stand up, two more figures tumbled out of the rift - Helia and Nyla.
Nyla's eyes sparkled with delight at the unexpected outcome, and she wasted no time in expressing her affection for Rio.
"I love you, sweetie," Nyla said, planting a kiss on Rio's cheek before playfully hopping off his chest.
Helia, on the other hand, appeared uncertain of how to react. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she followed Nyla's lead and stood up, but she didn't say anything to the boy.
Rio found it amusing to see the contrasting reactions of the girls, with Lia and Layla sharing a similar reserved demeanor, while Nyla was always shamelessly playful. Meanwhile, Helia seemed uncertain of how to act.
As Rio finally made an attempt to stand up, he saw Layla bending her knees and gently grabbing his hand to assist him.
With her nurturing manner, she tenderly patted his clothes, removing any dust or dirt. Her delicate fingers brushed away the dust from his cheeks, revealing a warm, caring smile. Rio couldn't help but feel grateful for her presence.
"Thank you, Layla," Rio said with a smile as he straightened his posture.
Layla simply nodded in response, her serene smile and loving gaze never leaving her face.
Meanwhile, the other girls were busy surveying their surroundings, their eyes taking in every detail of the unfamiliar landscape. Lia, in particular, was intently focused on discerning their exact location, her gaze shifting from one landmark to another as she pieced together the puzzle before her.
It quickly became evident that they hadn't been teleported to an Asura shelter as initially planned.
Helia glanced around, noting the unfamiliar landscape, and remarked, "It seems our portal destination has changed, but we're still in the right vicinity."
Suddenly, Eve's voice filled their minds, reassuring them with her gentle tone. "I have made a small adjustment to your teleportation location using my spatial elemental affinity power. This way, you've been sent to a spot closer to your actual destination."
All of them were familiar with Eve's voice, even Layla, who had conversed with her when Rio first introduced her to Lia and the others. With this revelation, they now understood the reason behind their unexpected arrival at this particular location.
