Chapter 1811: Perfect Day

"You are here. That's the best gift."

Neph's smile grew a little wider. 

'...Such a smooth talker.'

Still, coming from Master Sunless, even the most trite compliment was too pleasant to hear. 

She looked down at the luminous pearl he had given her. It was merely an Awakened soul shard, but… the lustrous pearl was so pretty, glowing softly with an opalescent shine in her hand. Its beauty and uniqueness made it seem quite valuable. 

However, it was the intent behind the gift and the words that accompanied it that made Nephis like it a lot. 

She looked at him with a light smile. 

"I'll cherish it."

Master Sunless usually wore his hair tied back neatly, but now it was loose and wet, falling to his shoulders like a waterfall of black silk. His skin was like white porcelain, with the onyx scales of the coiling serpent contrasted starkly against its smooth surface. His dark eyes were glistening in the sunlight.

He looked lovely.
