Chapter 55 Finicky

Veronica paused, her lips curving into a faintly mischievous smile as she leaned closer. 

Her crimson, enticing lips hovered barely an inch from his. 

Riley felt his throat tighten as he gulped reflexively, her proximity stirring something wild in him.

"…I can even give you the reward for our bet in advance," Veronica finished, her voice soft and sultry.

She smiled sweetly afterward, but there was an unmistakable sharpness behind her expression.

Veronica had already suspected that Riley was hiding the true extent of his cultivation base, much like she concealed her own strength with the aid of a powerful treasure.

Riley froze for a moment, his mind racing as the weight of Veronica's words sank in.
