Ophelia's residence had magical creations reminiscent of hot springs. Bexia sat in the bubbling pool and leaned against the edge, feeling the warmth slowly diminishing his will and intensifying his relaxation.

"Ah!" Bexia yawned. Just then, the front door was pushed open and Sakuya walked in with a set of clean clothes. Bexia glanced at her and said, "Just leave them on the side."

"Oh!" Sakuya nodded obediently and placed the clothes in a nearby basket. She hesitated for a moment, but Bexia didn't pay much attention and closed his eyes, leaning against the side of the pool.

"Hmm?!" Bexia felt something touch him and immediately turned around. He saw Sakuya holding a towel, her face slightly flushed. He wondered if it was because of the artificially created hot spring.

"What are you doing, Sakuya?"

"I... I'm helping you wash your back. Joana sister said it can relieve fatigue!"

"It's alright, I can handle it myself after soaking for a while."

"No, if you're tired, you need to relax properly, or you might get sick!"

With all her courage, Sakuya spoke loudly. Bexia looked at her determined eyes, amused, and reached out to pat her head, saying, "Alright, I'll listen to Sakuya. Whatever you say goes!"

"Then, brother, turn around."

"Sure!" Bexia smiled and did as he was told. Sakuya grabbed the towel and vigorously rubbed his back. She didn't have much experience in this area, and her strength was average, so Bexia hardly felt anything. Instead, it amplified his sleepiness, and he unknowingly started dozing off.

"Plunk!" Suddenly, the sound of someone falling into the water reached Bexia's drowsy ears. He immediately opened his eyes and saw Sakuya struggling in the water. He quickly pulled her out of the artificial hot spring and watched her coughing painfully. He patted her back and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Cough, cough!" Sakuya spat out some water and her complexion improved slightly. It was only then that she realized she was being held by Bexia and blushed, as he was only wrapped in a bath towel while soaking in the hot spring.

"Sakuya, are you useless? You can't even handle such a small thing?"

"It's not like that. Sakuya is still young and can't do many things yet. She'll be better when she grows up." Bexia comforted her.

"Really?"

"Really!" Bexia nodded at Sakuya's innocent gaze, ruffled her wet hair, and said, "Do you want to soak in the hot spring together? After all, our clothes are already wet."

"This... this..." Sakuya's head swelled as if it was about to explode. She was at a loss for words.

"Splash!" Bexia lifted Sakuya out of the water and placed her next to the artificial hot spring. He took a towel and wrapped it around her body.

"Go change into dry clothes. Even though it's hot water, you can still catch a cold easily!"

However, Sakuya seemed to hesitate for a long time before reluctantly taking off her outerwear and slipping into the artificial hot spring. She shyly buried half of her face in the water, occasionally blowing bubbles.

"Mmm!" Sakuya made a sound, hoping to catch Bexia's attention. However, after waiting for a while, she didn't hear Bexia's response. She secretly glanced at Bexia, who had fallen asleep leaning against the other side of the pool. It's no wonder there was no reaction at all.

Sakuya tiptoed over and watched Bexia's face in fascination. With one hand supporting her little head, she couldn't help but wrinkle her brow and then burst into laughter. Seeing that Bexia was still asleep, Sakuya covered her mouth, her big eyes shimmering with an inexplicable light. Sneakily glancing at the doorway, she slowly leaned closer to Bexia as if she were a thief. The distance between them grew closer and closer, and Sakuya's face grew redder and redder...

In the black world, there was only a small gem emitting a faint light. Bexia looked around at the familiar scene. Every time he meditated, he would end up here. This was his spiritual space, and only the Chaos Divinity gem existed here.

"Damn Four Season, arriving before me!" A voice filled with resentment echoed in the darkness. Bexia instantly recognized who it was without even having to think, as there was only one person who would appear in this space besides him: Lady Cloud!

"It's been so long, Lady Cloud!" Bexia embraced Lady Cloud, his emotions surging after such a long time apart.

"It's been a while!" Lady Cloud smiled knowingly and hugged Bexia, but as he relaxed into her embrace, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He was sent flying backwards, puzzled as he looked at Lady Cloud, who had thrown the punch. "Lady Cloud, what...?"

"Hmph! You even know how to call me? Who told you to do something so dangerous? Being sucked into a spatial vortex, with your current abilities, the only outcome would be turning into void ashes. You wouldn't even have the slightest chance of survival." Lady Cloud approached, her face filled with anger as she looked at Bexia. She stomped down on his chest with her small foot.

"Do you have any idea how worried I was for you? If it wasn't for my consciousness projected into your Eight Cloud Umbrella, do you know what would have happened to you?" Bexia felt his face moist and looked up to see Lady Cloud crying, which shook him to the core.

"I...I didn't know what happened in the void. I never realized that what I thought was good fortune was actually Lady Cloud's protection. Suddenly, I fell silent. I can understand the feeling of worrying for others, and Lady Cloud's feelings are perhaps even stronger than mine."

"...I'm sorry!" Bexia didn't know what else to say. He couldn't meet Lady Cloud's gaze and could only look away.

"What's the use of apologizing?! This time, I'm going to teach you what pain truly feels like." Lady Cloud suddenly kicked Bexia away, and the intense pain made Bexia's nerves tremble. Before he could recover, he was suddenly embraced from behind by a warm body.

"Does it hurt?" Lady Cloud's gentle voice made Bexia pause.

"I was originally planning to give you a beating, but I couldn't bring myself to do it..."

"Do you know how worried I was for you..."

"Seeing you in such a sorry state, it breaks my heart..."

"You don't know how worried I am. I even want to take you away from here..."

"............"

As Lady Cloud spoke, her excitement grew, and Bexia could feel her back getting moist. When Lady Cloud finally fell silent, Bexia moved his arm away and turned to face Lady Cloud, who had red eyes. He gently wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes and felt a deep sense of indebtedness towards her.

"It's my fault. I'll be more careful in the future..."

"You only know how to say comforting words. I won't believe you. You need to speed up the method you mentioned last time. I can only feel at ease by staying by your side!" Lady Cloud smiled, teasingly tapping Bexia's forehead. However, she noticed that the person in front of her had unknowingly become slightly taller than her.
