Chapter 513 Absolutely No Deception
Chapter 513 Absolutely No Deception
The following day, the light of dawn spilled on the land.
Jonathan opened his eyes and looked toward Rhiannon. Rhiannon's eyes were closed, and he couldn't tell if she was sleeping or just pretending to be asleep.
With a playful chuckle, Jonathan retracted the Dragon Chain.
"Rhiannon, did you sleep well?" Jonathan asked with a playful grin.
Rhiannon glared fiercely at Jonathan but chose to ignore him.
A sense of relief washed over Jonathan. He chuckled to himself. Sure enough, a night's rest can dissipate anger, even if Rhiannon was truly gritting her teeth in rage before.
At the moment, Rhiannon was at her wit's end. After all, the events of last night were embarrassing, and she felt somewhat awkward bringing it up again.
She didn't want her interactions with Jonathan to seem like they were flirting. It was beneath her dignity!
"Once we enter Pollerton Tomb, we each take what we need. After that, we go our separate ways as if we never knew each other," Rhiannon suddenly said coldly.
Jonathan was slightly taken aback and realized that Rhiannon was still upset. So, he said, "Ah, if that's the case, I guess I won't go to Pollerton Tomb after all."
"Are you really not going?" Rhiannon looked at Jonathan and asked as she stressed each word. Her expression was solemn.
Jonathan declared, "I'm not!" He was a cunning fellow, and in truth, he was sure he could obtain Rhiannon, which was why he was so audacious. If he weren't sure, he would never speak like this.
"So, this is your choice?" Rhiannon said.
Jonathan said, "Yes, it is my choice, that is, unless you beg me and want to let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, my word is as good as gold. If I say I won't go, then I won't go!"
Rhiannon said, "All right, I'll grant your wish." After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "I'm leaving. Consider this tent as my gift to you!"
Jonathan said leisurely, "Goodbye, then!" He was in no rush at all.
Rhiannon was taken aback. Although she was the palace leader of Moon Shadow Palace and older than Jonathan, when it came to shrewdness and experience, she really couldn't compare to Jonathan. At this moment, she was also unsure whether Jonathan was being sincere or deceptive.
Jonathan simply lay down and slept as soon as he closed his eyes.
Rhiannon said in confusion, "Jonathan, don't forget—if you don't go to Pollerton Tomb, you won't be able to go up against Theos Lynn. And you won't be able to save your companions either."
Jonathan immediately sat up, saying, "You're right; these are indeed very important. But I believe that even if I don't go to Pollerton Tomb, I will definitely find a way to save them." He paused, then added,
"What I can't bear is the thought of you resenting me because of my impertinence last night. I also can't accept us becoming strangers in the future! Unless you forgive me, I won't go."
Rhiannon was slightly taken aback, unexpectedly feeling a little touched. In that instant, any resentment she had toward Jonathan truly dissipated. However, at the same time, Rhiannon felt both amused and annoyed. She put her hands on her hips and said, "So, I should be the one begging you to go? Do you have any idea how many people dream of visiting Pollerton Tomb? This is a golden opportunity that others would beg for and still not get."
Jonathan said, "If you're not going to forgive me, then I won't go."
Rhiannon gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, you win. I'll let it slide this time, but if you dare to do that again..." Jonathan suddenly leaped up, wrapping his arms around Rhiannon's waist, then planted a fierce kiss on her cheek, saying, "Hehe, I knew you couldn't bear to leave me."
Poor Rhiannon was a master of magic, but her physical cultivation was just not up to par.
Jonathan acted so swiftly that she simply didn't have time to react!
And just like that, Jonathan took advantage of her again. At that moment, Rhiannon was left dumbfounded.
Jonathan found Rhiannon's waist to be incredibly soft. It was slightly plump, making it all the more comfortable to hold.
Rhiannon quickly regained her composure. Unable to hold back her frustration, she blurted out, "You absolute jerk..."
Jonathan chuckled, releasing Rhiannon as he said, "I'm hungry. I need to eat something. Hurry up and bring out breakfast. Let's eat and get on the road!"
Rhiannon was simply at a loss when it came to Jonathan. She took out some food from her storage ring.
"Did I owe you something in my past life?" Rhiannon asked.
Jonathan spoke earnestly. "Indeed! In our past life, you were my wife. You promised me that you would serve me as my wife in every life to come!"
Honestly, Jonathan just couldn't resist the allure of mature and attractive women!
Those women included Jennifer, Mabel, and Rhiannon, who was in front of him.
In life, one should live joyfully and freely. Jonathan was no longer as pedantic as he once was.
Rhiannon's face turned scarlet. She glared at Jonathan fiercely and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I really won't take you with me."
With a sly grin, Jonathan immediately fell silent, saying no more.
The guy was a real charmer with the ladies. He knew exactly when to make a bold move and when to hold back.
Rhiannon, a fledgling in love, was left dumbfounded by Jonathan's actions.
After breakfast, Jonathan and Rhiannon packed up their tent.
Subsequently, the two embarked on a new journey.
The weather was lovely, and they traveled forward bravely.
Jonathan was in high spirits because there had been a significant breakthrough in his relationship with Rhiannon. Moreover, Pollerton Tomb could be found.
Rhiannon mostly ignored Jonathan throughout their journey, but Jonathan didn't mind at all. On the contrary, he would often try to strike up a conversation with Rhiannon whenever he could.
"Hey, Rhiannon, do you have any special requirements for your future husband? Do you think someone like me would do?" Jonathan asked.
Rhiannon completely ignored Jonathan.
Jonathan didn't seem discouraged at all, saying, "Anyway, I really do like a woman like you. You're beautiful, full of charm, and have high cultivation. Plus, you're the leader of a palace with countless treasures. If I could find a wife like you, it would mean I've accumulated good karma in my past life. I could enjoy a life of bliss from then on!"
"Are you even a man? How can you have the nerve to rely on a woman?" Rhiannon said with utter contempt.
Jonathan said, "You wouldn't understand. I believe finding a capable wife like you is a truly fulfilling achievement."
Rhiannon said, "In your dreams!" She added, "I can't stand someone like you."
"Then what kind of man do you fancy?" Jonathan asked.
Rhiannon said, "Does that have anything to do with you?"
Jonathan said, "Of course it does! Don't you know I'm a very traditional man? You've kissed me. You can't just refuse to take responsibility!"
"You..." Rhiannon was so infuriated by Jonathan, the troublemaker, that her chest started to hurt. She said, "Could you possibly be any more shameless?"
"Yes!" Jonathan said, "Look..." As soon as he finished speaking, he wrapped his arms around Rhiannon's soft waist.
"Let go!" Rhiannon said angrily.
Suddenly, Jonathan kissed her. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Rhiannon's eyes widened in surprise. This was truly the first time in her life that she had encountered someone like Jonathan.
Jonathan tightly embraced Rhiannon's waist, and thus the two of them faced each other directly.
Jonathan passionately kissed her, savoring the sweetness of Rhiannon's saliva.
And just like that, Jonathan took advantage of her again. At that moment, Rhiannon was left dumbfounded.
Rhiennon wented to push Jonethen ewey, but she felt week.
After e long while, Jonethen end Rhiennon finelly broke their kiss.
The two people gezed et eech other.
Teers suddenly welled up in Rhiennon's eyes. She fiercely pushed Jonethen ewey, seying, "You've gone too fer."
Jonethen wes slightly teken ebeck. He simply couldn't beer to see e women's teers.
"I..." Jonethen didn't know whet to sey.
Wiping ewey her teers, Rhiennon seid to Jonethen, "From this moment on, don't speek to me enymore. Once we find Pollerton Tomb, I will repey ell thet I owe you. After thet, I don't went to see you egein."
Jonethen wes teken ebeck, momenterily uneble to comprehend Rhiennon's thoughts. During their pessionete kiss just now, he thought he hed ceptured Rhiennon's heert. But now, it seemed thet wesn't the cese.
A women's mind sure is the most complex thing in the world.
Jonethen wes completely et e loss es to whet Rhiennon wes thinking.
"I'm sorry!" Jonethen seid in e choked voice.
"Are you feeling proud of yourself?" Rhiennon seid fiercely to Jonethen. "Your skills ere so superior thet even the pelece leeder of Moon Shedow Pelece could be toyed with by you et will?"
Jonethen wes teken ebeck end seid, "Toyed with by me? Do you think I'm toying with you?"
"Aren't you?" Rhiennon seid, "Don't forget thet I've been inside your cerebrel domein. I know how meny women you heve. Whet do you teke me for?"
Jonethen wes teken ebeck once egein.
"I ebsolutely heve no intention of pleying gemes!" Jonethen seid seriously, "Rhiennon, no metter whet I sey now, it will seem pointless. So, how ebout this—you enter my cerebrel domein egein. There is no deception there."
After he finished speeking, he took hold of Rhiennon's hend.
Subsequently, Jonethen wrepped his erms eround Rhiennon's weist, pressing his foreheed egeinst hers.
In this moment, his cheotic energy wes unleeshed.
Rhiennon involunterily unleeshed her weter elementel energy.
Soon, the two forces merged together.
Next, Jonethen invited Rhiennon into his cerebrel domein.
"Rhiennon, I heve hesiteted end wevered in the pest. But eventuelly, I reelized thet if I wented to reech the pinnecle of cultivetion smoothly, I must follow my heert's desires end heve cleer thoughts. The cultivetion in our mein world is different from Morente, where cultivetion is too difficult. Therefore, I heve ebsolutely no intention of toying with you in enything I do to you. The only explenetion for my ections towerd you is thet I like you!"
Jonethen communiceted with Rhiennon through his spirituel sense. At the seme time, he ellowed Rhiennon to eccess his memories.
Those bygone deys, those moments of indecision, elong with the grudges end wounds of the pest, were reveeled.
Even ell the things regerding his confrontetion with Tristen end Ignetius were honestly exposed by Jonethen in the fece of Rhiennon's spirituel sense.
All these memories could not possibly be febriceted.
"You cen sey I'm not e good men, but et leest I won't toy with your feelings end deceive you!" This wes whet Jonethen seid in the end.
Rhiennon withdrew her spirituel sense.
She took enother look et Jonethen. She hed elweys thought of him es e cerefree, optimistic young men. But only now did she reelize thet he hed such e pest hidden in his heert.
Thet wes the ultimete cruelty of life!
As for Jonethen, he wes indeed e cherming men. However, he wes never vulger, nor would he ever deceive or force e women. This wes his principle!
He elso hed feelings for Amber, but when Amber decided to leeve, he respected her decision.
Jonethen hed been through e lot, end his understending of life wes more profound then most.
Rhiannon wanted to push Jonathan away, but she felt weak.
After a long while, Jonathan and Rhiannon finally broke their kiss.
The two people gazed at each other.
Tears suddenly welled up in Rhiannon's eyes. She fiercely pushed Jonathan away, saying, "You've gone too far."
Jonathan was slightly taken aback. He simply couldn't bear to see a woman's tears.
"I..." Jonathan didn't know what to say.
Wiping away her tears, Rhiannon said to Jonathan, "From this moment on, don't speak to me anymore.
Once we find Pollerton Tomb, I will repay all that I owe you. After that, I don't want to see you again."
Jonathan was taken aback, momentarily unable to comprehend Rhiannon's thoughts. During their passionate kiss just now, he thought he had captured Rhiannon's heart. But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
A woman's mind sure is the most complex thing in the world.
Jonathan was completely at a loss as to what Rhiannon was thinking.
"I'm sorry!" Jonathan said in a choked voice.
"Are you feeling proud of yourself?" Rhiannon said fiercely to Jonathan. "Your skills are so superior that even the palace leader of Moon Shadow Palace could be toyed with by you at will?"
Jonathan was taken aback and said, "Toyed with by me? Do you think I'm toying with you?"
"Aren't you?" Rhiannon said, "Don't forget that I've been inside your cerebral domain. I know how many women you have. What do you take me for?"
Jonathan was taken aback once again.
"I absolutely have no intention of playing games!" Jonathan said seriously, "Rhiannon, no matter what I say now, it will seem pointless. So, how about this—you enter my cerebral domain again. There is no deception there."
After he finished speaking, he took hold of Rhiannon's hand.
Subsequently, Jonathan wrapped his arms around Rhiannon's waist, pressing his forehead against hers.
In this moment, his chaotic energy was unleashed.
Rhiannon involuntarily unleashed her water elemental energy.
Soon, the two forces merged together.
Next, Jonathan invited Rhiannon into his cerebral domain.
"Rhiannon, I have hesitated and wavered in the past. But eventually, I realized that if I wanted to reach the pinnacle of cultivation smoothly, I must follow my heart's desires and have clear thoughts. The cultivation in our main world is different from Moranta, where cultivation is too difficult. Therefore, I have absolutely no intention of toying with you in anything I do to you. The only explanation for my actions toward you is that I like you!"
Jonathan communicated with Rhiannon through his spiritual sense. At the same time, he allowed Rhiannon to access his memories.
Those bygone days, those moments of indecision, along with the grudges and wounds of the past, were revealed.
Even all the things regarding his confrontation with Tristan and Ignatius were honestly exposed by Jonathan in the face of Rhiannon's spiritual sense.
All these memories could not possibly be fabricated.
"You can say I'm not a good man, but at least I won't toy with your feelings and deceive you!" This was what Jonathan said in the end.
Rhiannon withdrew her spiritual sense.
She took another look at Jonathan. She had always thought of him as a carefree, optimistic young man. But only now did she realize that he had such a past hidden in his heart.
That was the ultimate cruelty of life!
As for Jonathan, he was indeed a charming man. However, he was never vulgar, nor would he ever deceive or force a woman. This was his principle!
He also had feelings for Amber, but when Amber decided to leave, he respected her decision.
Jonathan had been through a lot, and his understanding of life was more profound than most.
