Chapter 222: First Kiss

Allicent fell through a warped black hole onto the floor of her room and winced as she had hit her tailbone on the tiled floors. No one in the school was more happy than her in this moment as she had finally found someone stronger than her in this world.

Although the world was vast and had so many cultivators who would also make Allicent’s powers look like they were wielded by an infant, she did not have the resources to travel around, and she hated old people, so she wouldn’t often challenge them. Which is why she had said nothing of the Primarch of Wutherhorn, or Heimdall.

She needed someone around her age, who would also fulfil all the vile fantasies that roamed freely in her head. She sat on her mattress and straightened her back, smiling ear to ear as she didn’t care how much distance had been put between her and Jacob. Normally her goal would be to defeat him, but she had never in her entire 22 years of living seen someone who could take her power and make it theirs, make her feel so helpless.

She had seen in that moment that Jacob’s power was too great, and had decided to serve him instead of trying to fight him. Whatever he needed done, she would do it, no matter how vile and repulsive it was.

Her only constraint was her body, which was like that of a twelve year old, her mind was certainly mature enough to handle certain thoughts.

She clutched her chest and picked at her nose for the umpteenth time, wiping it on a new handkerchief. ’I would be the perfect girl for you Big Brother Jacob, just wait a few hundred years for me when I look better enough to serve you completely...’ her eyes gleamed.

The school day peeled rather smoothly for Jacob, he eventually met up with Violet in class and they had their usual lecture from Mr. Okinoze who was talking about something entirely different from power and cultivation today.

Even though Jacob knew to pay attention to the man’s lectures he spent the entire time looking at Violet, the only girl who had been capable of taking his breath away. Not even Xenia did that, but maybe it was on account of her being more than 50 years old.

Anything the man could teach him, he must have already learned in the library of life, and as such was of no consequence. He was sure the man was going to mention it in the next class anyways, so he wasn’t bothered.

...

Even while going about his daily activities, he could feel the sting of Allicent’s obsessive stare on his back, watching him like a Hawk wherever he went. Allicent was not stupid, she had lost herself in the moment a few hours ago, but she promised to never do that again. She knew that Jacob would want nothing to do with her considering the way she looked now, her current mission was either to find a way to speed up her aging process, or kill whoever placed this curse on her bloodline. The latter was the the only feasible option.

Jacob could live with her stares for a while, considering that after tonight, he would be gone for heavens know how long.

"Mr. Okinoze is such a great tutor..." Violet smiled slowly as they both strolled towards the back end of the school. "See... I got his name right this time."

Jacob had suggested that they both had lunch in her favorite spot as he was not aware when next he was going to see her, and she was fine with it. She never got tired of watching the sun from the edge of a cliff, and this time she was prepared, as she had brought a scarf with her. They both scaled the fence under Allicent’s jealous glare and were gone from her sight.

"You certainly did get it right this time..." Jacob looked over the horizon and sat down beside her. Her purple hair was gleaming under the effect of the warm glow of the sunlight. Her violet eyes looked almost ethereal as he stared into them. Jacob was almost sure that this person sitting beside him was a goddess and not a human.

"So what did you want to talk about." She looked at him with curious eyes, her eyes searching deep within his as though looking for a deeper answer to a question she hadn’t asked yet.

Jacob was going to leave a clone at the school to cover for him while he was gone, since his clone possessed all his attributes and was basically him, then there was no need to tell Violet that he was leaving.

"Oh nothing, has anybody ever told you how much your hair glows under the sunlight." He smiled flirtatiously as his words carressed her ears.

"Jacob... you flirt." She turned away but a dominant hand lifted her jaw so she was staring at him again.

"I mean it, everyday I thank the heavens that your mother and mine schemed to bring up together that day at the party. If it wasn’t for them I would not have known such beauty." Jacob’s voice was eerily calm, and even though she sat on the edge of a cliff, she instantly appeared to be swept off her feet.

Her face beamed bright red, but this time she was unable to look away as Jacob’s firm hand held her chin. Seeing that she showed no sign of restraint, or reluctance, Jacob knew there was only one thing left to do.

He leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on her lips. With closed eyes, she accepted it, leaning into it as she wrapped a free hand around his neck. The kiss never became aggressive, it flowed like a controlled wave, just letting the two people be intertwined with each other.

That was their first kiss, the first of many more. Now he had a reason to clear that goddamn tower, and he was determined to do it in record time.

He pulled away and looked into her eyes.

A wide smile beamed across her face. "I was wondering when you were gonna do that."
