However, Xanthea, caught in a state of sheer panic, was on high alert and couldn't hear his unusual tone, nor feel any of his reactions.

"Oh no, this place is just too spooky, Orion, stop talking, let's get out of here fast. The snakes might come. biting soon!" Orion smirked, a hint of amusement flashing across his brows, "But the scenery in this forest is quite lovely, think I'll stay and enjoy it a bit longer." What? Xanthea couldn't believe her ears.

With the ground crawling with sinister, twisting snakes, he actually wanted to stay and admire the scenery? "Are you insane?" Orion said, "I'm not afraid." "But I am afraid!" Xanthea was trembling with fear, her voice quivering, and her eyes tightly shut, not daring to open them even for a second.

She thought, "Oh my god, this guy must be crazy, not even afraid of snakes!" "Don't worry, I'll protect you." "Geeze! I'm trembling at the sight of them. Maybe you could escortout first, then cback and enjoy the scenery with the snakes if you like." "Hmm," Orion pondered, "that's a good idea." "Right? So let's hurry up!"

When she thought about this, the strong arms that were once constricting her waist began to loosen. “No-don't Chapter 136 Xanthea screamed in terror, her arms tightly wrapping around his neck, clinging to him like an octopus, her soft chest pressed against him, forcing his eyes to shift.

"Who-who said that! I don't dislike you, not at all!" "Oh? You don't dislike me?" Orion's eyebrows lifted in curiosity, "Is that so?"

"Yes, yes." In her desperation to survive, Xanthea bit her lip, closed her eyes, and blurted out a lie, “Of course, I like you! I really like you, a lot!" When she said 'like, Orion's heart skipped a beat, knowing it was a lie, yet he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"You like who?" "You! Didn't I just say?" "And who am I?" Orion pressed further. Xanthea wondered if he was being foolish.

"You're Orion!"

"Am I?" His voice deepened, "Earlier today in the Marlowe family's hall, you didn't seem to callthat. M Xanthea paused, then remembered that earlier today, in the Marlowe family hall, to annoy Queenie, she had playfully wrapped her arms around his neck and called him 'Ori'.

Damn! This despicable, petty man was actually doing this on purpose, punishing her for teasing him publicly in the hall! Chapter 137
