Although Yale felt that Lina had been far too bold with her words, when thinking that she was doing so much for Ange’s sake, Yale was unable to argue.

Lina was still hugging him, so Yale decided to return the hug, which made Lina blush more, but given their position Yale couldn’t see her face. Of course, he could have looked at her face with his Divine Sense, but it was strange using it for such purpose, so Yale hadn’t even thought about it.

Yale didn’t know when to stop, so he was waiting for Lina to stop the hug first since she seemed far better than him at acting. However, Lina was enjoying the situation so much that she forgot completely about the time.

Thus, they remained in a state of hugging each other in the sky for more than two hours until Lina finally realized that they had been hugging each other for too long.

Lina reluctantly let Yale go, but she was happy because Yale hadn’t tried to stop the hug until she did it.

“About this…”

Lina was about to justify that long hug when her words were interrupted.

Moreover, for her surprise, Yale had kissed her, and he was very good at kissing.

Lina was a complete newbie when she kissed Yale before, but Yale had children in his past life due to his circumstances, so even though it was without involving love, he had experience with women.

Yale was a newbie in love, and due to his understanding of Lina, he didn’t notice her feelings, but since Lina said that they should act more realistic, Yale treated her like he did with Lar, Zhana, and Kurka in his past life when creating the divine bloodlines.

Yale had done that to make them happy as a way to reward them for their efforts in helping him, but he never felt any romantic feeling for them, and they knew it very well, but they were happy enough with how Yale treated them.

However, he did it quite forced in those cases, and he felt quite weird while kissing them, but when Lina kissed him, he didn’t feel in the same way, so he decided to kiss her after the hug ended and he felt that the sensation was far too different than when he did it in his past life.

In fact, Yale mostly wanted revenge for Lina’s sudden kiss from before and testing how it felt was secondary, but he didn’t expect that their kiss would last far longer than before, and Lina also seemed very proactive when she received the kiss.

Yale believed that the different sensation was because he wasn’t doing it as a reward for a big favor, but for his daughter’s sake.

However, the main problem was that Yale had got rid of his curse and was unable to identify his feelings correctly.

At some moment, Yale started to like Lina more than just a friend or a family member, but since it was his first time feeling something like that, he failed in noticing it.

“He kissed me so passionately… Maybe he also loves me? No, I shouldn’t think that. This is probably just the revenge for my previous kiss. I shouldn’t have too many expectations right now.”

Lina though that after the kiss ended because she was like Yale and also had the impression that the other party couldn’t have any romantic feelings towards her.

The only difference was that Lina was already conscious that she loved Yale, while Yale didn’t notice that he loved Lina.

“Lina, we should be going now. It won’t be polite if we reach Ronragruk’s place too late at night.”

Yale patted Lina’s head and grabbed her hand before starting to fly in the direction to the place where Ronragruk and the Dragon Race were living.

Lina was happy with Yale’s actions, so she just followed Yale without releasing Yale’s hand from her grip.

Yale only intended to grab Lina’s hand to make her start to move, but after sensing that Lina didn’t plan to lessen her grip, Yale just continued flying while holding hands with her.

Traveling like that wasn’t the most optimal method, but neither of them complained about it. Usually, they would have teleported to an area nearby to Ronragruk’s place and then advanced from there, but that time both of them flew the whole way while holding hands without even mentioning the use of teleportation.

Even though they weren’t slow under those conditions, they were still far slower than using the fastest method, so they reached Ronragruk’s place at night.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late, and everyone was awake, so Ronragruk rushed to welcome them at the moment he noticed that Yale was there.

“Yale, my friend! I knew that you would come sooner or later.”

Ronragruk was in his dragon form when he appeared in front of them, but he had reduced his size a lot, so he wasn’t too big.

“Yale, is this your dragon friend? You told me that he was a Law Master, but I can only see a Law God.”

She was sure that when she had checked about Ronragruk’s position under Yale’s instructions, Ronragruk was still a Law Master.

“Yes, he is. It seems that he had just advanced.”

Yale had also seen that Ronragruk was still a Law Master the last time he checked for his position, but at that moment, Ronragruk was clearly a Law God.

“I have just advanced today just in time to notice your announcement in the Elven Kingdom.”

Ronragruk laughed while speaking because he longed for that breakthrough for a long time.

In fact, everyone was still awake at night because they were celebrating Ronragruk’s breakthrough.

“Congratulations.”

Yale was happy for Ronragruk’s breakthrough, so he congratulated him sincerely and not just to be polite.

After all, Yale knew of Ronragruk previous problem to advance and even gave him pointers to make the breakthrough.

“Thank you, but I don’t feel too proud. Compared with you I know that I am still nothing.”

Ronragruk noticed that Yale was completely at another level compared to the last time they met.

Moreover, Ronragruk noticed that Lina and Yale were holding hands and Lina didn’t seem weaker than Yale, so he felt that he still had to improve a lot before comparing himself to Yale.

Ronragruk just knew that Lina was with Yale when announcing that the Elven kingdom was under Yale’s protection, but he didn’t even know her name, so he was waiting for Yale to introduce her.

“Ronragruk, she is Lina, my girlfriend. She is interested in seeing that dance of yours.”

Ronragruk wasn’t shocked after hearing Yale words because he felt that even a fool would notice that those two loved each other and were a real couple. Of course, he didn’t mention it because he felt that there was no need to mention those things.

What he didn’t know, was that Yale and Lina were unaware of the feelings of each other, with Yale not knowing even his own feelings.

However, knowing their own feeling or not, the impression they gave naturally wasn’t faked at all, and any third party would easily notice their relationship just by the subtle glances on the eyes of Yale and Lina and their reactions while being in contact with each other.

“Of course! Come with me to the main plaza, and I will perform my dance to your girlfriend! Yale, all my people owe you their life. We will do anything to thank you, a mere dance for your girlfriend is nothing at all.”

Yale’s desperate battle in the war was still engraved in Ronragruk’s mind. If Yale had just taken his friends and fled, Swordmad wouldn’t have died, so Ronragruk felt that he and the Dragon Race would never be able to pay that debt of gratitude.

Of course, he didn’t know that everything went in accordance with the Mysterious Expert’s plans to send Yale to the Timeless Border.

Everyone cheered when they saw Yale returning and Lina let Shirk and Driwna go out to meet with the rest.

The Dragon Race lost a lot of strong experts in the war, but Yale’s change of the past only saved those who fell into the spatial ripples, so the strength of the Dragon Race had been lowered a lot.

If it hadn’t been because they were in the same area as the Death God appeared for the first time, but they were perfectly well making the others wary of them being under the Death God’s protection, the surrounding countries would have annihilated them.

It had been only after Ronragruk’s breakthrough that they finally could relax a bit as a Law God was a great deterrence for any attacker.

Ronragruk’s soul hardened a lot after the hardships suffered in the war and after it ended. Originally, he just protected the Dragon Race due to his ancestors, but after they were scattered with just a low number under his protection, he willingly moved across the continent to rescue them although he didn’t have any obligation to do it and protecting those with him was enough.

After those hardships and his diligent training after having accomplished his objective, he finally broke the chains of his bloodline becoming a Law God.

In fact, he could be called Demon Lord at that moment given the ruled of Yale’s world, but given Yale’s strength, he didn’t dare to claim that name because he was too weak in comparison.
