Chapter 1197: Chapter 546: The Softhearted God

Although she didn’t know what Herbert had done exactly, it was obvious that it was to rescue her.

"Hmm."

Yunier nodded as well, her voice softening: "He said earlier he wanted to bring you out from the dream; he must have expended a lot of effort."

She paused, giving Teresa a look, and softly said: "Let’s not speak anymore, let him sleep for a while."

Teresa softly murmured in agreement, and stopped talking as well.

She and Yunier forgot to let go but still held hands, quietly leaning against Herbert, feeling his steady heartbeat and warm presence.

They nestled quietly beside Herbert, one on each side, like two small animals that had found their refuge.

Teresa could clearly feel the steady rise and fall of Herbert’s chest, hearing his powerful heartbeat, which strangely comforted her.

The room fell into complete silence.

The light filtering in from the outside seemed to become much softer.

At that moment, there was no sadness from the departures in the dream, no lurking danger in reality, only the warmth from the palms and the companionship of those beside her.

A strong sense of fatigue belatedly surged over Teresa, making her eyelids heavy as she slowly closed her eyes, her lips curling into a slight yet genuine smile unbeknownst to anyone.

She knew that as long as Lord Herbert and Yunier were by her side, no matter what difficulties they faced in the future, she could bravely face them.

Even if her mother could no longer be by her side, she could stride forward with the love and blessings her mother gave her.

...

"Hmm..."

Not long after, Herbert emerged from the dream, his consciousness returning to his body, slowly waking up.

"Hmm?"

Compared to a certain absent-minded father and daughter pair, Herbert’s reactions were much sharper, instantly becoming aware of his situation.

His body was bound?

Who couldn’t resist and made a move on me in broad daylight?

He blinked his eyes rapidly, adjusting to the light and focusing quickly, then looked down to check.

The scene before him left him momentarily stunned— Teresa and Yunier nestled on either side of him, their cheeks resting against his arm or chest, sleeping deeply.

More strikingly, Teresa’s snake tail, with its fine scales, was loosely but possessively wrapped around his waist, while the tip unconsciously twitched gently.

Eh, what’s happening here?

He blinked, looking at the guardians on his left and right, then glanced at his waist tightly encircled by the snake tail, his eyes blinking incessantly.

It’s not a monster girl rampaging in the Disciplinary Hall, but instead two girls have pushed me over?

Although he wanted to savor the moment of being hugged by young girls, it was clearly not the right time now.

"To avoid awkwardness when they wake up, let them sleep a bit deeper."

As Herbert thought, his eyes lowered, invoking his newly acquired power.

As soon as he willed it, the girls already asleep fell into an even deeper dream, their expressions relaxing even more.

Herbert easily freed himself from their constraints, standing up boldly to admire the sleeping faces of the two girls.

Dream entry.

This was Silence’s specialty, and also the dominion of the dream in the entire Divine Kingdom.

After Nenasha retrieved this dominion, Herbert, as "half-body of the Divine," also acquired the corresponding ability.

"Truly a terrifying ability, more effective than sleeping teas; next time danger arises, just put the opponent to sleep."

Herbert marveled, feeling invincible.

Point and sleep, it’s practically a cheat.

But then Nenasha popped up, unceremoniously interrupting Herbert’s daydream, her tone dangerously scoffing:

["Ha, give it up, this ability can only be used here! Once you leave Mist Mountain Range, it won’t work!"]

Because of a certain white-haired Paladin’s insensitive and inconsiderate behavior, Miss Xie Shen, who specifically had created a tail, was now quite unhappy.

Mother of God, an eye for an eye!

Coming up with something like this, you’re practically a beast!

You wretched Desecrator, go kneel in the confessional and repent properly!

But Herbert seemed quite composed, pretending not to hear Nenasha’s dissatisfaction, replying: "Oh, I knew that of course, but even if it can only be used here, it’s already quite impressive."

["If I were to exert myself fully, hardly anyone could resist, but if it’s you, probably opponents of the same tier could resist, only capable of bullying those weaker than you."]

Herbert nodded, musing: "So that means Legendary only works on High Tier, and Epic only works on Legendary?"

["Hmm, are you very disappointed now?"]

"It’s still...good enough."

Herbert didn’t find this limitation unacceptable at all.

If it’s just about bullying those weak, then just bully the weak, isn’t it?

Hehe, I love bullying the weak!

After quietly leaving the cabin, Herbert had a clear goal, leisurely heading towards a corner of Elda.

As he walked, he casually spoke to Nenasha, "Alright, we’re all back now, you should probably return her soul to me already?"

["What soul? I don’t know what you’re talking about."]

Nenasha’s acting clearly surpassed that of those two naive girls, showing no sign of wavering as she outright questioned Herbert back.

Her acting was seamless, with no trace of flaw.
