Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel-Chapter 229: The Two Troublemakers

As Aster Grant stepped into the area, he immediately sensed something amiss.

All around were meticulously arranged romantic scenes, soft lights pouring down, and a faint floral fragrance wafting through the air.

Not far in the distance, several pairs of beast companions and their masters were intimately snuggling together, the atmosphere ambiguous yet warm.

He paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Veridia beside him.

The girl’s cheeks were visibly flushed, her eyes flickering, fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her whole being exuded an unusual tension and shyness.

This....

Even if Aster’s reactions were slower, however....

Given this place alongside the unusual behavior of Veridia, he couldn’t possibly misunderstand her thoughts.

But now there was no way he could focus on such matters.

Not to mention the Demon Clan eyeing them covetously, even Crystal Winslow’s life was still uncertain.

If he indulged in romantic entanglements, it would not only be irresponsible to himself but also show negligence to the whole of Draconia.

Besides...

If he had to make a choice, his first choice would undoubtedly be...

Lazuli!

But considering that Veridia had summoned the courage to bring him here, he couldn’t directly refuse, as that would be too cruel.

He must find a way that wouldn’t hurt her and could also alleviate the current awkwardness.

In a flash of inspiration, Aster’s mind sparked, and he raised his hand with a wave...

Whoosh!

Two figures instantly appeared beside him.

"Since we’re here, let’s take a stroll together!"

Aster pretended to be relaxed as he spoke, casually taking hold of Lilith and Sally’s hands.

Lilith and Sally were still in a state of bewilderment when Aster led them forward, one on each side.

Lilith blinked, looked down at her small hand being held, then looked around at the surroundings, realizing something with an amused smile at the corner of her mouth.

Is this human emotional drama?

Quite intriguing!

When Veridia saw the two individuals who suddenly appeared, the flush on her face instantly faded, returning to her usual icy demeanor.

Her tenderness was only meant for Scarlett and Aster!

Yet...

A hint of disappointment flickered deep within her cyan eyes.

But she quickly suppressed this emotion.

Being able to accompany the master was already enough, she shouldn’t ask for more...

With this thought, she quickly caught up. Since Sally’s body had not yet recovered, as the only combat-type tamed beast beside Aster, she had to stay alert at all times to ensure the master’s safety.

However, just as they took a few steps, a familiar figure suddenly appeared.

"Master, master, something’s wrong!"

Scarlett’s voice carried a hint of panic, "Sister Lazuli and Sister Vera have torn down someone else’s shop!"

Hearing this, Aster blinked incredulously.

Did he hear that right?

"Lazuli and Vera... tore down someone else’s shop...?"

What happened between the two during his absence?

And wasn’t Scarlett supposed to be mediating their conflict?

Why did it still result in such a disaster?!

Without any delay, Aster immediately retracted several beast companions into the Beastbond Space and followed Scarlett to the scene.

On the way, Scarlett also apologized to him.

"Master, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault..."

Scarlett originally wanted the two to resolve their differences through a small game, but who would have thought...

The two were completely a case of chickens pecking at each other!

In addition, the game’s difficulty was too high.

The two of them went red-hot instantly.

At one point, they couldn’t restrain their momentum...

As a result, the entire small shop got completely wrecked.

The most important thing was, neither of them was carrying any money.

Therefore, they had no way to compensate the owner, which is why Scarlett found Aster right away.

Listening to the whole story, a few lines of black appeared on Aster’s forehead.

An Angel and an Elf, actually managed to overheat over a human world’s game.

Ridiculous!

When they arrived, they saw Lazuli and Vera in the center of the crowd, looking down like children who had done something wrong.

The shopkeeper stood in front of them, wanting to say something but not daring to speak...

These two were humanoid beasts, they must be backed by a powerful Beast Tamer, how could an ordinary person like him dare to pursue it?

"No, no problem, if the shop’s destroyed, it’s destroyed." The shopkeeper forced a smile.

These words made Lazuli and Vera droop their heads even more.

Although they were strong, they were pure in nature and never shirked responsibility.

What’s more, they knew well that their master, Aster, valued principles the most.

"Truly sorry."

Aster quickly stepped forward, first looking at his beasts helplessly, then sincerely apologized to the shopkeeper, "We will compensate for all the losses."

Saying this, he took out a few Star Stones from the Beastbond Space.

Though he didn’t have cash, he had a lot of Star Stones.

The shopkeeper was completely stunned by the sight of the Star Stones in Aster’s hand.

Because of Baelgard’s collapse, the price of a Low-level Star Stone had been driven up to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

And now, the Star Stones in this Beast Tamer’s hand were enough to buy ten of his shops.

"Sir, this is too much." The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand.

But Aster gave him no chance to refuse, placing the stones into the shopkeeper’s hand, then leaving with Vera and Lazuli.

Too embarrassing, he really couldn’t stay there anymore!

After they left, Aster also prepared to end this brief moment of relaxation.

Next, he planned to head to the Azurefox Clan.

He must now secure cooperation between the Azurefox Clan and the Human Race.

At that time, they would have the opportunity to regain the entrance to the Divine Realm and acquire the third Divine Pattern for the Human Race.

Additionally...

He also planned to try to see if he could contract Luna Crimson as his beast.

The Snow Maiden was beyond contracting, but there was a slight possibility with Luna Crimson.

On the road, Lazuli and Vera followed closely behind Aster.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously said:

"Master, we’re sorry, we were wrong."

Looking at their obedient demeanor of admitting fault, Aster swallowed back his words of reproach and ended up merely sighing: 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Just... just be careful in the future!"

But seeing the two now almost back to normal, Aster could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Scarlett’s plan didn’t work out as intended this time, the unexpected incidents caused by the two unintentionally eased a lot of the tension between them.

Overall, it was a good thing.

On the other side, Scarlett tiptoed over to Veridia, her eyes sparkling as she quietly asked:

"Sister, how was it? Did the date go well?"

Hearing this, Veridia’s eyes slightly flickered.

She gently shook her head without saying another word.

In the next moment, her figure turned into a stream of light, entering the Beastbond Space.

"Huh? Sister!"

Scarlett’s outstretched hand grasped at empty air.

A trace of confusion appeared on her face.

What did sister mean by this?

Did it work out or not?
