Chapter 108 Special Flirting Techniques

Yes, what else could it be?

Kill Raven, and then be hunted down by a being who has conquered countless universes and is powerful enough to rival Ghost Petal? Or let Raven fend for itself, letting this time bomb wander aimlessly, perhaps one day blowing up the entire Earth?

After much deliberation, Rune had no choice but to take in the raven.

While the staff was making ice cream, Rune asked, "Why aren't you in Azalas?"

On the way here, Rune and Raven chatted for a bit. Although Raven was rather reserved, he still gave a general overview of his situation.

Raven is only ten years old now, and theoretically, she should be receiving magical training in a dimension called Azarath. That dimension is inhabited by a goddess who will die in a few years, after which Raven will see her father in her dreams. However,

Because of her rampaging magic, the priests of Azarath ultimately decided to banish her to Earth.

Upon hearing Rune's question, Raven pursed his lips and clenched his fists: "Azaras has been destroyed."

Rune frowned. This meant the goddess was dead, and while the priests there were just mediocre fighters, they were actually quite kind-hearted; otherwise, they wouldn't have taken in the raven's mother. The goddess's premature death was definitely related to the Fallen Ones. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to go to Hell and ask Satan for clarification.

"You'll be my apprentice for now," Rune decided for Raven. "I'll take care of your daily needs and teach you magic so you can use the dark power within you."

"Then—what do I need to give in return?" the raven asked.

Rune scrutinized Raven. The girl had a face so exquisite it was almost perfect, with distinct features and beautiful eyes and brows. At this moment, she was still grieving for the destruction of Azarath, her long eyelashes drooping like fans, yet unable to conceal the tears glistening in her eyes.

"Hmm—" Rune nodded, then said, "I need your blood."

Indeed, Rune was very interested in the raven's blood. If it were the blood of the Demon King Sangu himself, he was genuinely worried whether the miraculous bloodline fusion could eliminate any potential dangers. After all, the Lazarus Pool, the most precious artifact of the League of Assassins in DC, was actually created by Sangu, and the main ingredient of that pool was the Demon King's blood. Even blood that had been stored for countless millennia could still distort the minds of those who immersed themselves in it.

But Raven's blood is essentially diluted Sannomiya's demon blood, making it far safer. Moreover, one of Raven's corrupted forms is almost on par with Sannomiya's power, meaning her potential is also similar to Sannomiya's—it's practically perfect.

Raven breathed a sigh of relief, but Rune added, "There's one more thing—"

Raven's heart leaped into her throat. Rune scrutinized her from head to toe, and she felt as if she had been scraped all over by a sharp blade.

"Well, you'll have to help me with some chores, like handing me some materials," Rune said.

"Okay," the raven replied.

Just then, the young shop assistant came over, carrying a large plate with more than a dozen ice creams on it, including various flavors such as strawberry, matcha, and mango. Some were sprinkled with colorful sprinkles, while others were topped with sliced ​​fruit.

The chocolate-flavored ice cream is sprinkled with cocoa powder.

"These are your ice creams. We have some more being made. Would you like to have them served after you finish eating?" the waiter asked.

"Let's finish eating before you bring it out," Rune said softly to the clerk, then turned his gaze back to the raven. At this moment, the girl's eyes were already drawn to the colorful ice creams. She looked at this one, then that one, but her lips were still slightly pursed, trying hard to suppress the cravings in her stomach.

"Eat up, what are you still looking at?" Rune said, pushing half a piece of ice cream in front of Raven. "I ordered this especially for you, don't be shy, just eat it."

Actually, Rune was lying. He did want ice cream too. During this time, he had been consciously increasing his food intake because he could improve his physical abilities by absorbing bio-energy; simply put, eating made him stronger. Therefore, the more calories he ate, the faster he would become stronger. And ice cream was not only delicious but also high in calories, practically Rune's favorite food.

"Thank you," Raven whispered her thanks, then picked up an ice cream from an elegant glass, took the small spoon the barista had stuck in it, scooped out a large chunk, brought it to her lips, and took a big bite. The icy sensation instantly spread throughout her mouth, and the sweet taste made the girl squint her eyes involuntarily.

"Delicious!" Raven couldn't help but nod. Just this one bite of delicious food made her completely forget Rune's fierce demeanor from before. What a joke! Anyone willing to treat her to such delicious food couldn't be a bad person.

Rune started eating too. The ice cream here was smoother and had more substantial ingredients than the one next to the circus. Although the portion was smaller and the price was much higher, it was delicious enough.

This meal lasted almost three hours, even tiring out the young clerk. In the end, Rune and Raven had to pack up the remaining ice cream and eat it together on a roadside bench. Even after Rune gave the clerk a three-hundred-dollar tip, she wouldn't let them continue eating in the store. Her expression, as if she feared they'd stuff themselves to death, was truly hilarious.

After we finished eating, the eastern horizon was already shrouded in a light purplish-gray, with faint red and yellow light peeking through; dawn was approaching.

Rune stared blankly at the sky for a while. As time passed, the sky began to soften in color. A faint, pale white hue gradually appeared on the eastern horizon, as if gently caressed by the morning light.

"Let's go." Rune patted his clothes, trying to brush off imaginary dust. Raven stood up as well, but rubbed her stomach. No matter how strong her future self was, the current Raven was just a ten-year-old child. Besides, this was her first time eating ice cream, and she had eaten almost without restraint. Considering how much she had eaten, the fact that she could still stand was already worthy of being the daughter of the Third Palace.

Rune noticed her pale face and frowned. He patted his clothes again, which, to the raven's astonishment, transformed into a cloak. Then, the cloak suddenly draped over her, enveloping her with a short scream. To her surprise, the cloak had turned into a thick trench coat. Most amazingly, wrapped in this trench coat, she felt a wave of warmth.

Yes, the Floating Cloak brand air conditioner is something you deserve.
