Chapter 563 Ellie is willing, Sudden Danger

Chapter 563  Ellie is willing, Sudden Danger

"Wu… wu… wu…" When Max arrived near the valley's entrance, he heard stifled sobbing sounds. Glancing over, he saw a delicate young lady, Ellie, sitting under the tree, with her head held between her knees. A large patch of her robe had become wet from her tears.

Seeing this, Max felt bad for her. Sighing, he slowly walked over.

Ellie raised her head when she heard the footsteps in front of her. When she saw it was Max, who had come, she bit her lips and lowered her head, not wanting to look at him, let alone say anything.

Seeing this, Max also didn't speak and instead sat down beside her. Ellie, though feeling resentful and didn't want to be near him, didn't up and leave, afraid that it would anger him.

Just when she had started feeling uncomfortable, she heard Max say in a soft voice, "I shouldn't have said all that. I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Ellie looked at him, astonished. She had thought he was here to ensure she didn't leave or did anything foolish in anger and hadn't expected him to apologize.

Seeing her surprised look, Max smiled wryly and asked, "What? You didn't think I would be human enough to apologize?"

"Yes… I mean no. It's not that… I just…" She became nervous and didn't know what to say.

"It's fine. I know you don't have a good impression of me and I can't blame you for that." Max beamed an easygoing smile at her before looking up at the clear sky.

Hearing this, Ellie became even more nervous, but chose not to say anything. A moment later, Max continued, "I don't want to give any justification, but I wasn't in the right mind at the moment when I snapped at you. Also, you should think about what you want to do going forward."

Ellie was silent for a few moments before she looked at him, taking in his handsome side profile, which made her heart flutter all of a sudden. Quickly looking away, she took in a deep breath to control her emotions and said in a low voice, "I'm also sorry. Like you said, not only you saved us, you also removed my mother's curse and helped her become a mage. Also, you weren't the one who forced her, but I blamed it all on you. I… I didn't mean to… sob… sob… I'm sorry."

As she started speaking, her eyes became teary and, by the end, she couldn't form a coherent sentence and started crying.

Max sighed. She had just lost everything and must be really sad and heartbroken. On top of all that, she watched helplessly as her pregnant mother was forced to 'help' him. So, it wasn't surprising she hated them, and eventually lashed out.

Max glanced at her and saw her shoulders trembling as she sniffed and sobbed, looking very pitiful. Letting out a sigh, he extended his hand toward her, wrapped it around her shoulders and pulled her to him before saying, "I know you didn't mean to. So, don't worry about it."

Ellie was stunned by his action, but didn't pull away. Instead, she put her head on his shoulder and continued crying her eyes out, pouring out all her sadness and grief she felt all these days. Max didn't try placating her and let her cry all she wanted.

After over ten minutes, her sobbing finally ceased. She awkwardly pulled away and mumbled an almost inaudible, 'Thank you!' to him, her face turning bright red due to her embarrassment.

"It's alright. If you are sad, you can cry. Don't keep your emotions bottled up." Max smiled, and gently wiped her face, causing her heart rate to increase and her face to turn redden even more.

'What's happening to me? Don't tell me I… I'm starting to like him just because he consoled me a little?' Ellie thought as she looked away to hide her blushing face from him.

Unfortunately for her, Max had already noticed her reactions to his actions. This surprised Max, but just a moment later, he understood the reason–his unsuppressed charm. 'Now that the system isn't suppressing my ungodly charm, it's affecting her. Perhaps Emily was also affected, which must've agitated her, causing her to run away. Just my 'bodily reaction' isn't enough for someone like her to act like that, after all.' He thought.

Just when he was lost in his thoughts, he heard Ellie say, "I've thought about it."

"Hm? Thought about what?" Max asked, coming to his senses.

Ellie slowly turned around and looked into his eyes, "You told me to think what I want to do going forward, right? I've decided what I want to do." "Oh? What is it?" Max asked, looking calm, but anticipation and excitement rose in his heart.

"I want to become strong, strong enough to ensure my mother's and my safety. I want to kill the demons and avenge my father and my village. Also, I want to repay you for saving us, and I know the only way to do that is to become strong." She solemnly stated. Then, after a pause, she stood up, bowed toward him, bending her waist almost ninety degrees and requested, "So, please, Sir Max, help me remove my innate curse and make me strong."

A smile unwittingly appeared on Max's face when he heard this. After letting her bow for a while, he asked, "Are you sure about it?"

"Yes." Ellie said, not getting up.

"Has Ella told you what you need to do to remove the curse?"

"Yes."

"You still want to do it?"

"Yes."

"Very well. I will help you." Max agreed, which made Ellie sigh in relief. She then stopped bowing and stood up. Although she tried to act calm, she was, in fact, very anxious. Her heart was beating loudly as though it was about to jump out of her chest and nubile body was trembling ever so slightly while her fists were clenched so tight that her nails dug into her palms and almost drew blood.

Seeing this, Max smiled, grabbed her delicate hand, pulled her over and made her sit on his lap. "Don't be anxious. Calm down, alright? You don't need to rush it if you aren't ready."

"I… I'm sorry." Ellie bashfully murmured after lowering her head.

"There is no need to be sorry." Max smiled and softly kissed her on the cheek, causing her to stiffen. He then whispered in her ear, "Just tell me when you are ready, but… it's better to do it sooner rather than later since we don't have much time."

Embarrassed and uncomfortable, Ellie shifted in his lap, which, unfortunately for her, caused his little brother to harden and poke her soft bottom, which sent shivers down her spine.

Ellie panicked and wanted to push him away, but suddenly, she felt a unique sense of excitement that she had never felt before. It was fearsome, yet thrilling.

'What's happening? Why do I suddenly feel like this, and why does it feel… tingly down there?' She thought, panicked and embarrassed. But her lower body didn't stop shifting around and rubbing the 'steel rod'.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat because she felt as though some predator was eyeing her. When she raised her head, she noticed his breathing had become hot and deep, and as her eyes met his, she could see an intense desire in them, which made her nervously gulp her saliva, but at the same time, it made her want to let go and let him do whatever he wanted.

Now that his lust overlord's bloodline was complete, Max had expected his lust to spike, but not this much. Just a few moments ago, he was in control but just some slight rubbing, a kiss and her feminine scent almost made him lose himself to his sexual desires.

"Damn it, Ellie! You are irresistible!" He growled before he dove down and captured her lips in his. Inwardly, he was smiling bitterly because he had just said that she didn't need to rush if she wasn't ready and could take her time.

Not wanting to hurt her, he slowed down as much as he could and started sucking her lips, soft lips one by one, savouring them. BUT in his current state, where he just wanted to push her down, do the deed with her, this was nothing short of torture for him. But he couldn't give in to his urges because she deserved the gentleness and love, at least for her first time.

Ellie's eyes widened the moment she felt his lips and instinctively wanted to push him away, but before she could do it, his other hand came down and wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his body. And as he started kissing her lips, strength left her and her body turned soft.

Unable and unwilling to resist, she resigned herself to him and closed her eyes.

Just when things were heating up and their kiss was deepening, Max's danger senses blared.

Whoosh!

Immediately, his mana exploded out of him, and he, along with Ellie, disappeared from the place.

BOOM!!

Just as they did, the tree under which they were making out just now exploded into pieces.
