Chapter 466

466 One of the top five beauties returns

Ester, Lupa, and Iris took the children outside and let Lilith explain what had happened to her.

Lilith explained how she took an expired potion, which almost killed her.

The information of possibly dying if it wasn’t for the support of Vincent, Ester, Lupa, and Iris caused a barrage of questions about she currently felt.

Lilith smiled and decided to answer their concerns with a move she couldn’t do previously. She slightly lowered and jumped.

Lilith would feel her knees and ankles hurt and her leg muscles about to spasm because of her weight and how physically inactive she was. She would always stop after the second jump because of the pain and her heart racing as if she ran up the stairs.

Lilith jumped multiple times, and her happiness could be seen in her genuine smile. It was of someone who broke their personal record in doing something and knowing they could keep going.

However, nothing lasts forever, and the quick fix of her clothes holding her uniform snapped. It became baggy and oversized again, causing the skirt and underwear to fall.

Lilith only blushed when this happened, as if she didn’t mind having her bottom covered only by an oversized shirt.

The difference in her personality was starting to become apparent. The part of her past making her feel chained was gone, and Lilith appeared to have a boost in confidence and willpower.

.....

The fight against her anxiety could now begin without the ten past years hindering her growth.

*Emerald Lionheart Mansion*

In the evening, after the second long duo cultivation session ended, Sakura asked Vincent if he perhaps saw a potion that reduced the muscle mass of a person.

It was a question that would make people frown. Most people want to gain muscle mass instead of losing it. But Vincent knew what Sakura meant.

Lilith and Sakura were two sides of the same coin. One wanted to lose fat, while the other wanted to lose muscle mass.

Vincent laughed, and it made Sakura unhappy. A few minutes passed, yet Vincent didn’t answer her question.

The unhappy Sakura approached Vincent. *Smack!* He slapped her bottom, and *Yelp!* made her yelp in a cute feminine voice.

“You heard that? That means you do not need to change, haha.” Vincent laughed and joked.

Sakura frowned, yet her cheeks blushed. It didn’t look like she disliked the treatment or the blunt way of comfort.

Sakura placed her hands behind her back and nervously asked, “Does it mean I am a petite woman to you?”

*Sigh* “Haven’t you figured it out by now, Sakura? I like the way you look. You are tall and attractive. You also have an outer appearance of a strong woman, one where it feels reassuring to have around.” Vincent honestly said.

Sakura looked happy to hear these words. Even though a part of her accepted her appearance, a part of her still wanted to change. Her practice of swaying her hips femininely wouldn’t end soon.

It was time to eat dinner, so Vincent decided to look at their status window and felt great to see his improvement.

[Looks like you improved again.]

“Is something wrong with our stats? Why did you become surprised all of a sudden?” Sakura asked.

*Cough* “Kazumi didn’t speak for a long time that I forgot she was with us instead of the others.” Vincent explained. “On the other hand, you improved a little while I improved a lot.”

[What do you mean forgot about me? Humph! I am quite a memorable person!]

-...-

[Why aren’t you answering me?]

-...-

Vincent held Sakura’s hand and told her, “Shall we go, my lady?”

No matter how grumpy Kazumi became, Vincent had fun not answering her question. It was great to be the one to tease.

Later after eating dinner, Sakura went to congratulate Lilith on her change. After exchanging a few words, the two spent the remaining time conversing about their week.

Vincent looked around, and two people were missing. Bessy left a note and a magic contract scroll as payment beforehand while Maid Xu was finishing the last touches on the summer female uniform set. The winter set would be done next time.

Vincent went outside because the time to depart was upon them. When he opened the door, he could see everyone that was going to the academy apart from Lilith. Sakura was previously conversing with her, but she was also not outside to see them leave.

“Were you waiting for me? Hehe.” An alluring feminine voice from behind said.

Vincent turned around, and he was at a loss for words.

Lilith smiled warmly with makeup on her face. She was wearing a uniform that was now fitting her as if it was always made that way.

Vincent couldn’t believe his wife was so beautiful. It made him remember how Lilith was the top five beauty of the Lusterfall kingdom ten years ago.

Vincent moved his gaze and saw Sakura wearing makeup beside her. She wore a long fabric covering her body from her abundant chest down. Her gaze told him all he needed to know as if he could read her mind.

“That color looks good on you, Sakura.” Vincent immediately said before Sakura asked.

“You think so too?” Sakura blushed.

“What about me?” Lilith asked grumpily. She walked first, but Sakura was in Vincent’s comment first.

“What can I say to someone I can’t look at?” Vincent said. He turned around and walked toward the carriage. “Quickly get into the carriage, or your beauty will blind everyone in the city. The night will become as bright as the sun if you don’t hide in the carriage.”

Lilith couldn’t believe Vincent would overpraise her this much. Instead of “I like you how you are.” it changed to “your beauty will blind everyone in the city.”

Lilith became pleased to have survived the slimming potion ordeal.

[What a slick tongue Cassanova. Both you women are smitten, hehe.]

-I learned from the best.-

[Hehe. Cupid Kazumi is the best.]

*Team Ten Island – Night*

Nick, Clair, Vivid, Pussy, and Jun Ye Rim were outside waiting for the Lionheart family to return.

Jun Ye Rim told Clair multiple times how she didn’t need to ask what happened, yet she still waited with the four of them. Her excuse was how she wanted to look at the moon today. It was an embarrassing lie because it was cloudy.

The teleportation light flashed, and the Lionheart family appeared. The silhouette of a person they didn’t know appeared while the silhouette of an overweight woman was missing.

“What happened to Lilith, my friend?” Nick shouted. He hoped Lilith wouldn’t quit for being harassed and her figure mocked.

“Happened? Lilith is beside me.” Vincent casually responded.

Soon, the moonlit illuminated Lilith’s body better. The five waiting for the Lionhearts to arrive froze for a moment at the sight of a beautiful young teen.

“I have changed, haven’t I?” Lilith added.

There was silence for a couple of seconds. Time was needed for them to digest how Lilith had changed in almost two days. She had become attractive beyond belief.

Vincent felt tired, and he wanted to talk with Lilith and learn what had happened when she met her parents.

Vincent quickly summarized to Nick, Clair, Vivid, Pussy, and Jun Ye Rim what happened to Lilith, how she is okay now, and the arrogant noble Kilo Blackheart.

“I would have helped kick his ass if I was nearby.” Nick offered with his fists clenched.

“Master and I were eating breakfast after we ran a couple of miles in the morning. We would have assisted if we were nearby.” Vivid added while revealing where they were in the morning.

.....

“I never thought an expired slimming potion could be dangerous, but I am more glad Lilith is healthy than losing weight. Being healthy is always important.” Clair told Lilith.

Clair grew up worrying about her mother for using her Berserker skill and using her life span, becoming old as a result. Clair believed being healthy was more important than appearances.

“Like my worrying master said.” *Meow* “Master is quite the worrywart for someone sick.” Pussy casually said while looking at her nails.

“Good. I will go to sleep now. ” Jun Ye Rim walked to the door and entered inside after seeing the Lionheart family wasn’t injured or in danger.

A while later, Vincent and Lilith went to take Zero to the garden. They spent some quiet time together and conversed about their day on the grass.

Lilith giggled after Vincent mentioned how Sakura wanted a muscle mass-reducing potion.

Lilith mentioned how she noticed Sakura was quite attentive today when Maid Xu was fixing the uniform. Sakura even asked if she could use a fabric with a similar color to the demon’s blood and have an evening outfit.

“Maid Xu frowned like always because she is always busy. Fortunately, the more people you attract with your kindness, the more help she has.”

Lilith moved her head and looked at little Zero, moving its two tiny leaves on its head-like stem.

“Everyone changes around you. Zero became smaller again while I never thought I would be happy living in the mansion where my nightmare started.”
