Blood Evolution System

The boots being A-ranked means that unless her supernatural cells evolved to become S-rank, they would amplify all of her ice attacks by 50%! She had tested her ice cells before and found out that they were only D-rank. She was far away from S-rank, which meant that she would be using these boots for a very long time.

"Wow, thank you!"

She was so happy that she hugged him. Vincent wasn't expecting it, so he only reacted after a moment and hugged her back even though there were still items in his hand.

"I am still not done," Vincent said after a hug. Leilani's wide and crystal clear eyes that would melt any heart with their purity looked at him curiously. He took out the anklet bracelet and held it loosely, causing it to dangle in empty air.

"Is this the second item you chose for me?" She asked.

He nodded and said, "Yeah, it is. This ankle bracelet will increase your energy capacity by 1000 units, allowing you to use your supernatural ability for a long time. Although it doesn't have any other effects, it is still better than anything else here, especially when you being a two ability holder is taken into consideration."

As Leilani had two abilities, her energy expenditure was greater than others. She had faced several troubles because her body's energy capacity was little, causing her to run out of energy in the middle of battle. But this ankle bracelet will increase her energy capacity by nearly ten times, allowing her to gain peace of mind and not worry about energy expenditure while unleashing her superpowers.

"Do you like it?"

"I like it." While she was saying that, her ears turned red, and then she blushed slightly. Vincent saw that and wondered what caused it. Was it due to happiness? What he didn't know was that Leilani took this as a dowry. Typically, the women's family was the one who gave the dowry, but in this case, it was her man. She felt lucky to have him interested in her! What she didn't know was that she, too, was a queen!

"Well then, how about you reward me?"

Vincent still hasn't given the two things to Leilani, and she realized what he was planning. The naughty guy intentionally exposed the true worth of the items to her so that it would become impossible for her to give up on them. And he would use this chance to take advantage of her.

"Want to take advantage? I will let you take advantage of me as much as you like."

Her sweet words surprised Vincent, and while he was taken aback by what she said, Leilani made her attack.

She smiled, stood on the tip of her toes, and kissed him on the lips. The kiss lasted only for a moment, and it was more like a peck on the lips. The warmth left his lips as soon as it came.

"Satisfied?" She asked, a teasing look on her face. Leilani knew clearly well what she did. She played him, played him hard, and made him fail at his own game.

"Who could that satisfy me?"

Vincent looked at her, somewhat finding it hard to believe that she was the innocent girl he fell in love with at first sight. That little kiss only ignited a flame of lust in his heart. He felt the need to hold her, to run his hand through her head, to kiss her forehead, then the tip of her nose, then go down and taste her lips.

"But a reward is a reward, and you promised." Leilani said, "Or do you want to go back on your words?"

Vincent wasn't satisfied with the reward as the lass didn't fall for his tricks this time. She wasn't silly, after all. Anyway, he was a man of his words. Since she had given him his reward, he would give her her things.

"Alright, but I want to help you wear them." Vincent had a condition of his own, but it wasn't too hard or naughty for Leilani to swallow. "You will allow me that, right?"

While saying that, he dropped down to one of his knees, taking the same pose that a man would take to propose to the love of his life. It was hard for Leilani to refuse him as he was already on his knees, not that she wanted to say no to him. Instead, she wanted him to help her wear it.

"Umm, okay," she said. Only after those words left her mouth that she remember that she hadn't washed her feet or taken care of them in the past few days, and they had been fighting for a long time, causing them to get sweaty. They probably looked ugly as hell right now, right? She thought and gulped. Was he going to look at them? Did she want him to see her ugly feet? No, definitely not.

She wanted to decline, but she found out that her inner monologue lasted for so long that he had not taken often taken her boots but also looked and touched her feet. Worst yet, he was touching them. She felt guilty and didn't know what to say; should she apologize?

She clearly was a silly lass, but as they say, love makes one go blind, and that's why Vincent thought that she was only an intelligent lass.

"Your feet are beautiful," Vincent said after his scrunching wandered all over her feet and ankles. He found the birthmark he was looking on her body for and found out that she truly was his childhood sweetheart.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Leilani wasn't blind or numb that she failed to see and sense the state of her feet. Her feet that had so many callouses here and there were anything but beautiful!

"I said they are most pairs of feet I've seen in my life."

Vincent made his words sound more embarrassing!
