章節 516: Happy Diwali, Folks~

"Damn it, this whole place is completely overrun with roots..." Aether muttered under his breath as he leaped over a thick root, its tangled mass blocking his path. 

"Curioussss~" Snowflake hissed softly, her golden, slit-pupiled eyes fixed on Aether's hand, where a small, flickering purple flame danced in his palm. 

Aether chuckled, his voice low and teasing. "What? You like it, don't you?"

Snowflake, however, shook her head, her gaze never leaving the flame, "Dangerousssss~" she hissed again, her tone filled with unease. The flame, although mesmerizing, clearly invoked a primal fear within her as she continued to watch it sway hypnotically in his palm.

Aether's chuckle deepened, his amusement growing. He raised his hand higher, trying to illuminate more of the twisted, dark path around them.
