Chapter 127: Flame Garden (Bonus Chapter as Thank you All)

Moon was still inside!!!!

The entire cave fell into a dead silence.

Even the breathing sounds seemed frozen in place.

Levi abandoned his playful attitude and became serious.

"Come out. All are gone."

Elder Elysian stepped out from the other side and broke the silence.

As soon as Levi withdrew the protective glass wall, Nox and Ugo rushed out to check the sealed cave paths.

"Are you sure you put an illusion array for them and not a blocking path formation?" Ugo asked hesitantly.

Nox’s eyes were already teary.

He became confused about his own work and couldn’t really decide what formation he had drawn.

It had only been a few days since he learned to do formations. He had been getting quite confident, but at this moment his entire confidence was collapsing.

"Let’s not get any assumptions early. What did you all do after entering the cave?" Elder Elysian asked.

"I just met—"

"We got inside and found a snow glacier and treasures after a little hardship," Ugo spoke up.

"Yes, yes, I got some treasure too." Nox nodded quickly.

Rio, on the other hand, was looking for a place to sit. This damp, muddy cave was very unsuitable for sitting.

"What to do now? Wait or leave?" Levi asked.

"Let’s go back first. What if those people come back?" Nox said anxiously.

Elder Elysian raised one brow high. "Don’t want to wait for your mate anymore? Seems like you got a solution?"

"There is no use waiting here," Ugo agreed with Nox.

"You will just leave the cave like this?" the elder asked again.

"Elder, let’s leave first. They are right. There is no use staying here. The things inside we have already taken..."

Levi stopped further questioning and stepped forward. Elder Elysian nodded at Ugo and Nox and also followed him.

Nox looked at Ugo silently.

Their eyes held the same meaning. Both knew where to find Moon.

So they also silently followed behind.

When they reached the end of the cave path, Levi bade farewell first and made a meeting at his apothecary the next day.

Ugo and Nox both took their wolf forms and leaped toward the cliff slope. Only after passing the gorge did Elder Elysian speak up again.

"Why did you back out? They must be up to something big."

"Elder, we have a deal. And I keep my word. Trust me, we can get more valuable returns than running after those caves."

"You seem to have something in mind?"

"The black witches have some black magic that I want." Levi chuckled softly.

"That’s what you want, not me." Elder Elysian scoffed.

Levi spread his palm. Three Moon’s Tears rolled on his pale skin.

"You also don’t want this?" Levi smirked smugly. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Elder Elysian’s eyes widened for a fraction of a second. He grabbed the pearls hurriedly and started walking faster.

"Let’s forget about the cave."

Levi laughed happily.

For some reason, his mood was very good. At least he had found something interesting to keep an eye on in this boring Monalis Celestia, and something big would be coming soon.

He didn’t want to miss any of those.

He whistled softly and followed Elder Elysian, who had no idea what his descendant was thinking.

Meanwhile, in front of the gorge, the crack was not really empty.

Rather, another batch of warriors and guards had been standing a little farther away since the air in the gorge was too toxic.

They saw Elder Elysian leave and crawled out of their hiding one by one, planning to block Moon’s group before they could run away.

But when they reached the gorge and the crack after enduring the toxic poison, there was no one. Even their own people who went inside were gone. They all felt goosebumps spreading on their skin.

Where could a bunch of people go?

Secret realm?

Without any anomaly or fluctuation in the air? That was too unbelievable.

.

.

.

Regardless of what they were thinking, the brothers were already gone from the crack.

The moment the last shadow of Elder Elysian and Levi vanished in the distance, a hand suddenly materialized in the air.

It grabbed Nox’s collar without warning and yanked him in.

"Wha...?!"

Before Ugo could even react, the same force wrapped around him and Rio.

The world twisted.

Darkness swallowed everything for a brief moment.

When their vision cleared, they were standing on warm black stone.

Red crystal walls glowed softly around them. The air was thick with the scent of fire orchids and something faintly sweet.

The moment Nox’s feet touched the ground, what greeted him was a pair of round, soft breasts wrapped in bright red satin with golden lace. They looked almost too glossy under the firelight.

His pupils dilated.

A warm finger lifted his chin.

"You kept me waiting so long, dear~."

The sickeningly sweet voice nearly made Nox’s soul leave his body.

Fortunately, a cold voice cut through it like a blade.

"Stop playing with him."

Moon stood a few steps away, one hand still resting on Rio’s thick neck. His face was a little pale, clothes slightly messy, but his eyes were sharp.

Nox almost fell over. "What the...?!"

Ugo steadied himself and looked around.

A huge fire orchid garden stretched out under a high cavern ceiling. Everything was red, orange, and gold, like the inside of a living furnace.

They were standing on a small raised platform right outside a large crystal cabin that looked exactly like a bridal chamber.

Ugo’s eyes finally landed on Moon. When he saw how Moon had just let go of Rio’s neck, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"You could have taken us in normally. Why grabbing and pulling like that, dear?"

Moon looked away without answering.

How would he know this one had also become an adult wolf all of a sudden?

He just wanted to pull two men to give them a scare.

Rio’s ears had flattened the moment they arrived. He sniffed the air a few times, then slowly calmed down, though his fur still bristled a little.

Nox quickly scrambled away from the fiery beauty who was still standing too close, looking very interested in taking a bite out of him.

He almost tripped over his own feet as he moved closer to Moon.

"Moon! The caves vanished! I thought I messed up the formation and trapped you inside forever!"

"Formation? What formation?" Moon asked confusedly.
