Chapter 0035 – The Revolting-Looking Fruits

"My Lord."

Lilith returned after nearly twenty minutes, her voice laced with reverence as she stepped into Xylen's chamber.

She wore a sleek black evening gown that perfectly hugged her figure like a liquid shadow, her hair tied into a small bun. The style made her two small horns more prominent, and even with her crimson hair pulled up, its length still flowed elegantly. Her fluffy tail swayed gracefully behind her, further enhancing her allure.

In one hand, she carried a small basket.

"Hope you haven't missed me a little too much?" she teased, a playful light flashing in her eyes.

Xylen, who had been immersed in plotting his next move after completing his current mission, instantly lifted his head, and then his lips twitched at her playful words, a fleeting crack in his otherwise cold demeanor.

'Miss you?' he thought speechlessly, rolling his eyes skyward but refusing to dignify the comment with a response.
