章 165: Hope's beautiful face

Lifting Hope's beautiful face, I kissed her lips gently.

Hope did not reject my kiss. She opened her lips slightly and allowed my tongue to enter.

Our tongues intertwined silently. For a few seconds, our lips were connected, forgetting the world around us.

When the kiss ended, Hope heaved a soft sigh.

She then pushed my chest away and stared at the ground.

"... Please, give me a bit of time."

I smiled and kissed her forehead. "Don't worry, I'll wait."

"... Thank you." Hope whispered and put her face on my chest.

We stayed like that for a while, hearing the beat of each other's heart and feeling the wind caressing our bodies. When we had spent almost half an hour like that, Hope took a step back.

"I had to go." She said.

I nodded. "Before going, I want to give you something. Close your eyes."

Hope was confused, but she did not hesitate and closed her eyes. Immediately after that, I put my finger on her forehead.

The next second, a great amount of information rushed to her mind.

"Huh?" Hope opened her eyes surprised. She looked at me in confusion while grabbing her head and trying to process the new information in her mind.

"It's a cultivation technique." I explained. "I prepared it especially for you. It's called [Heaven Forming Body]."

Hope furrowed her brows and a trace of hesitation appeared on her face. Although she was happy that I gifted her something, this gift... "... Your highness, I had already a cultivation technique. Moreover, it's a top-tier cultivation technique from the palace. I don't need a new one."

Certainly, Hope's current cultivation technique was very good. It allowed her to reach the sixth-layer even though she doesn't practice regularly.

However, my cultivation technique is a bit more special.

"Hahaha, I know." I chuckled. "However, I'm sure you will like this technique more than the one you are practicing. Hope, this technique allows you to reform your body anew every time you complete a three-layers cycle, healing all your injuries in the process."
