CHAPTER 532: CHAPTER 521: LILITH’S ASSISTANT, SECRET MEETING WITH LILITH’S BOYFRIEND AT THE HOTEL?

In the night sky, a bomb-like explosion resounded, causing many passing pedestrians to stop in their tracks.

How could there be an explosion out of nowhere?

If it wasn’t a bomb, it must be fireworks.

But in the Capital City, setting off fireworks is strictly prohibited. Who would dare to defy the law under the emperor’s nose?

The pedestrians were curious and looked up into the sky.

But instead of fireworks, they were showered with "rain"!

Feeling some liquid splashed all over them, the pedestrians spat disgustedly.

They were all muttering curses in their hearts.

The Ritz-Carlton is one of Huaxia’s only three seven-star hotels, usually housing foreign dignitaries and famed tycoons. How could such wealthy people behave so poorly? Pouring water downwards?

How disgraceful!

Eyes wide open.

The "drip-drip" sound continued incessantly.

The liquid kept falling from above.

But as they clearly saw what was falling, the pedestrians’ eyes widened in horror, and they screamed!

Blood!

It was all blood!

Blood rain!?

Screams filled the air.

Among them, the scream from the top of the Ritz-Carlton was the most piercing.

Lilith rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down, and saw no sign of Ye Huan. Covering her mouth, her already pale face turned even more ghastly.

She knew Ye Huan didn’t want the assassin’s explosion to affect her, so he dragged the assassin and leapt from the high altitude!

The assassin’s explosion nearly shook the entire building, with Ye Huan at the explosion’s epicenter, now...

Lilith’s face was filled with despair and grief.

Beside her, Diana also understood Ye Huan’s intent and was very moved.

Any previous dissatisfaction with him disappeared like smoke.

With a sigh, Diana took off her coat and draped it over Lilith’s shoulders, consoling her, "Miss, the dead cannot come back to life. Please, take heart..."

"Heck with taking heart, can’t you wish me well for once?"

A deeply displeased voice made both Diana and Lilith pause.

Why did this voice sound so familiar?

In the next moment, two hands appeared on the window frame by the floor-to-ceiling window, and a head popped up.

Upon seeing who it was, Diana’s face turned pale, "A ghost?!"

"You’re the one who’s dead. Learn to talk properly," Ye Huan retorted, annoyed, using both hands and feet to leap up.

Then he headed straight for the suite’s bathroom.

After the assassin’s explosion, he’d grabbed onto an outdoor air conditioning unit and climbed up about twenty floors.

The first thing on his mind upon reaching the top was to take a shower!

Ye Huan took off his clothes and threw them all into the trash can.

Covered in blood, how unlucky.

He washed off the blood, using cold water to soothe the pain a bit as well.

The assassin’s explosion was quite powerful, with the force of about 110 pounds of TNT, but still insufficient to kill Ye Huan.

Even as a child, under his dogged master’s "training," he had developed a body as hard as steel, impervious to knives and bullets.

Yet, he was still charred half black, with a stinging pain.

...

"This... can it really help me recover?" Lilith sat on the bed, holding a finger-sized vial.

This vial was handed to her by Ye Huan when he emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe after cleaning himself.

"Most likely, yes. If not, I’ll personally help you heal."

"In any case, rest assured, with me by your side, nothing will happen to you."

Before the assassin’s explosion, Ye Huan had snatched the two vials hanging around the assassin’s chest.

One of the vials was already empty, with the same smell Ye Huan detected in the meal.

Evidently, this empty vial had contained poison.

The other vial matched one consumed by the yellow-masked man at the concert.

Ye Huan’s intuition told him this vial could reverse Lilith’s bodily aging.

He trusted his instincts and suggested Lilith drink it.

"Miss, maybe we should..." Diana cautiously whispered, "Let’s return west and let Hera treat you..."

Before she could finish, her face turned anxious as Lilith unhesitatingly drank the yellow liquid from the vial.

After burping, Lilith frowned, "It has no taste, not pleasant at all."

"Did you think it was a drink?" Ye Huan rolled his eyes, though his expression was now somewhat serious.

His eyes fixed on Lilith, fearing any adverse reactions.

The following scene made Ye Huan squint, his eyes shining brightly; Diana’s eyes widened in disbelief;

In just a few seconds, Lilith’s age spots on her face and neck vanished rapidly, and the wrinkles faded layer by layer;

Her skin, once like dried bark, turned fair and smooth, even more tender than before, with a layer of enticing pink;

The nearly skeletal hands and legs, veined like earthworms, regrew flesh, returning to their previously healthy anatomical state;

The deeply sunken eyes returned to normal, with starlight twinkling within them again;

The tangled, split-ended golden hair transformed into a sleek, shiny cascade with a normal volume restored.

Before, she was like a living dead.

Now, she was like a revived soul!

Reborn!

"Really... really restored?!" Diana gasped, covering her mouth, her eyes staring at Lilith filled with shock.

"Recovered?"

Lilith was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, and quickly ran into the bathroom.

After looking in the mirror in the bathroom, she saw that she not only successfully returned to her original appearance but also became much more beautiful. Excitedly, Lilith ran out and jumped into Ye Huan’s arms, hugging and kissing him repeatedly.

With kiss after kiss, she turned Ye Huan’s handsome face into a mess.

It’s so dark!

"Okay, don’t get so excited."

"This potion has restored you for now, but it’s possible that once the effects wear off, your body will revert back."

"Then all this excitement would be for nothing."

Ye Huan’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Lilith, instantly quelling her excitement.

Lilith looked disappointed, "Will it really revert? I don’t want to become an old lady again."

"It’s just a possibility, but it’s not certain now."

"What we need to do now is wait."

"I estimate the effects of this potion will last about eight hours. If you don’t change back after eight hours, then you’ll have ’eternal youth’."

Ye Huan smiled and said, "Alright, let’s leave it at that. You get some rest now, and I’ll come back tomorrow."

"Oh, you’re leaving?" Lilith pouted, "The night is long, a lonely man meets a beautiful woman, we’re like a match seeking a flame..."

"Stop, don’t talk nonsense!"

Ye Huan broke out in a cold sweat, what kind of bold words were those? This was too wild!

"Alright, I won’t talk nonsense! But where will you go? You don’t even have clothes, are you going to wrap yourself in a bathrobe and go out? People will think you’re a pervert! Why not stay and keep me company!" Lilith insisted, wanting Ye Huan to stay with her longer.

Accompany her?

If he stayed, who knows what might happen!

Ye Huan didn’t want anything to happen with Lilith, so he hastily made up a lie, "Where I go is none of your concern, but I’m leaving now for your own good. You need a good night’s sleep to absorb the potion’s effects fully, or else you’ll turn into an old lady again with nowhere to cry."

"I..." Lilith was speechless. She really didn’t want to become an old lady again.

If Ye Huan stayed, she’d be too excited to sleep all night.

Turning into an old lady and being disliked by Ye Huan would indeed leave her with nowhere to cry.

She had no choice, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Then promise me you’ll spend a day with me in the Capital City tomorrow."

"Deal!"

Having received ’permission’ to leave, Ye Huan quickly slipped out of the suite, afraid that Lilith might change her mind.

"Miss, just listen to Ye Huan."

"Get some rest and a good night’s sleep to let the potion work its best."

Diana smiled as she helped Lilith lie down, covering her with a quilt. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting Lilith to have anything more to do with Ye Huan, since they hadn’t defined their relationship.

"Alright, Miss, you get some rest. I won’t disturb you," Diana said gently.

"Okay." Lilith nodded obediently.

Diana couldn’t help but show a ’maternal’ expression as she reached out to pinch her cheek.

Blushing, she apologized and then quickly ran outside.

At this moment.

Lilith suddenly spoke up.

"Diana."

Diana looked apologetic, "Miss, I... I didn’t mean to..."

Before she could finish...

"Diana, I want to apologize to you."

"Sorry for making you worry and even cry."

"Also, if you want to pinch my cheeks, go ahead like when we were kids. I don’t mind..."

Lilith said guiltily.

Diana was taken aback, and her nose suddenly tingled as she turned her head slightly and forced a smile, "Miss, you get some rest. I’ll leave now."

"Bang!"

She shut the suite door.

Diana covered her face and cried.

Though Lilith’s words seemed trivial, they touched her deeply.

A few minutes later, having composed herself, Diana took her hands off her face.

At this moment, she noticed a man still standing beside her, and she froze.

"Why are you still here?"

"Walking out like this, I’d definitely get gawkers," Ye Huan said helplessly, "Can you help me buy some clothes?"

Diana wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that Ye Huan ended up in this predicament for saving Lilith. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded and handed over a room card, "You shouldn’t walk around like this. Wait in my room; I’ll go buy them for you."

Ye Huan happily accepted it.

"Click!"

Hearing the camera shutter sound, both Ye Huan and Diana’s faces turned cold as they hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.

The elevator doors hadn’t fully closed yet, and inside there was a blonde paparazzo waving and laughing, "Sir and Madam, I wish you a wonderful and joyful evening."

With that, the elevator doors closed.

"Diana, what do we do now?" Ye Huan twitched at the corner of his mouth, feeling a wave of exasperation. If this paparazzo published those photos, he’d be doomed.

"Nothing!"

"Just wait in the room!"

Diana furiously left.

Rumors of Lilith’s possible romance, suggesting her partner was her pole dance male accompaniment during her concert in Huaxia, already spread through Western media.

If this news broke out: "Shocking! Lilith’s assistant Diana secretly meets Lilith’s boyfriend in a high-class hotel..."

The consequences would be unimaginable; the whole world would explode!

But now, there’s no good way to handle this!

The paparazzo had already escaped, so they had to let it go for now!
