Meanwhile, Damien had finally reached the secret island though the other three Forsaken experts, including Irene, had regrouped on the other island, waiting for Damien to show up after whenever he was ready.
Damien had told Lily about where they were going, and only after they entered the island was Lily able to let out a huge sigh of relief since, for the past hour, she was literally having her nerves tensed up with Ruthren and the other experts chasing them.
She also knew that they would still keep hunting for them till they were found.
Damien laid down Yuria on the bed inside the hut as he said, "We are here, Lily. Finally, after-"
Damien's lips were sealed shut when Lily suddenly hugged him and pressed her soft rosy lips against his.
Damien could feel how much she was longing for him this entire time and as tears trickled down her cheek and brushed past his, Damien also felt how much pain she was enduring while being stuck in that palace, making him feel more guilty for not bringing her away sooner.
He could only imagine how much Olivia was tormenting her every day. Even though he knew the Rong Ancestor was healthy enough to protect Lily, he was still pretending to be ill. So there was a limit to how much he could protect Lily from things like these.
Still, at this moment, he only wanted to show how much he longed for her as well. Not a single day had passed since he left the Rong Empire where he didn't think about her and the ways to save her.
He hugged her waist firmly, making her soft full breasts press against his chest as her upper breasts overflowed out of her clothes, making it quite a tantalizing sight.
"Mmmhn~..." Their subtle moans of passionate love escaped from the back of their throats as Damien sucked her velvety lips into his mouth, tasting every inch of her sweet lips and using his tongue to explore her warm mouth before teasing her tender tongue.
And after what seemed like an eternity, the two parted their lips as a hot string of love was extending between their lips, though the two were busy gazing into each other's eyes.
Her black pearl-like eyes seemed to have become more mature compared to two years ago. But it was to be expected since she was now a twenty-year-old woman, and because of that, physically, she seemed to have matured a bit more as well, especially how her firm breasts had become a bit bigger.
And her angelic face had become even more radiant and beautiful to the point anyone would rather gaze at her face than the moon or the stars. Even her aura seemed very pure and warm, making anyone feel naturally at ease in her presence.
"I…I missed you a lot…I have thought about this every day since you left. Sometimes I thought our reunion might be a dream whenever I felt down but thinking about you and your promise, I felt somewhere in my heart that I would definitely be with you again, safe and healthy, without anything bad happening to you. It also made me realize…how much I-I…love you…I love you more than anything, Damien…" Lily said in a fragile voice, her eyes misty as she caressed his face with a soft smile. Even though he was looking different and taller than the last time she saw him, his voice, his eyes, and even his aura were just the same as the Damien she fell in love with.
She was finally able to release all the feelings and thoughts she had been bottling up inside her for almost two years. Even a single day waiting for him in that palace felt like an eternity, and so these two years were just torture for her. But she never complained to anyone, not even Damien, since she knew that Damien was out there trying his best for her, and the last thing she wanted was to pressure him.
She already knew he was taking a lot of risks to save her as fast as possible and didn't want him to take any more risks, though even today, he took a lot of risks to come to a place where all his enemies were together.
Because of this, she also never stopped cultivating diligently. She didn't want to be useless or be a burden to Damien but instead wanted to be a pillar of support to him. She barely slept in the past two years, and every single day she cultivated and trained till she almost collapsed on the floor from exhaustion. Pills were her friends in helping her get back to training quickly again.
However, even then, she couldn't take them continuously due to the side effects they could cause though she had ended up hurting herself quite a few many times.
But of course, she wouldn't want Damien to know about all this since he already got a lot going on.
"I love you too, Lily…more than my own life," Damien said ardently as he wiped her eyes while cupping her face. He then continued in an apologetic tone, "I am sorry for not coming sooner…You must have really gone through a lot…didn't you?"
Lily held his hands as she shook her head with a beautiful smile, "No…don't apologize. You are the one who saved me from despair and gave me hope, and also showed me that I can be something more than just a prize for a tournament. Without you, I would have ended up in a state worse than death, but now I can finally be with the person I want to be with. And no matter how this ends, I will stick with you until the end."
"So will I…" Damien said, feeling moved by how much she loved him. He yet again wondered what kind of good deed he did to deserve a woman like her or women considering all the women he loved.
But suddenly, Damien knitted his brows and shook his head with a chuckle, "Yuria…you can now stop pretending to sleep. You are only making things awkward."
