If he examined her facial features individually, they might not be flawless, but together, they created a perfect harmony.
Looking at this face was like witnessing a celestial being in a heavenly realm. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Mr. Lowe?”
Miss Felicia approached, one hand holding a towel, while the other gracefully waved in front of Emmanuel.
“Oh, excuse me.”
Emmanuel finally snapped out of his daze, feeling quite uneasy.
Apart from the first time he laid eyes on Mackenzie, he had never felt so disoriented in the presence of
a woman.
Not only was it because the person before him wasn’t the face he had anticipated, but also because this face was incredibly beautiful.
Moreover, her captivating eyes seemed to possess the power to capture one’s soul.
Furthermore, there was something peculiar about the fragrance lingering in the air.
“Mr. Lowe, if you have the time, would you mind waiting for me to change into a different outfit before we proceed?” Felicia said while blinking at him.
“Please, go ahead,” Emmanuel replied.
He had regained his composure and was well aware that this woman was intentionally seducing him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be bathing and changing clothes at this moment.
Felicia smiled faintly and headed straight toward the wardrobe.
In the next moment, she paid no attention to whether the man behind her was watching or not, and her towel slipped to the ground, revealing her enchanting figure illuminated by the light.
Unfortunately, Emmanuel did not gaze at her and even averted his eyes when he noticed her towel slipping.
He would never do anything to betray Mackenzie, let alone willingly fall into the trap set by the other party when he knew their intentions.
Felicia turned around and noticed that Emmanuel had already turned around, causing a hint of resentment to flicker in her eyes.
She couldn’t understand why this man wouldn’t be captivated by her. What was she lacking compared to Mackenzie?
“Mr. Lowe, I apologize for the wait.”
Soon, Felicia donned a set of ancient-style clothes and approached Emmanuel slowly.
“Miss Felicia, why is your attire so unconventional?” Emmanuel inquired.

“I have always had a fondness for ancient-style clothing ever since I was young, hence my preference for this type of attire.”
Felicia replied, “Is there something wrong with my appearance?”
“No. It’s beautiful,” Emmanuel said.
“Then, should I play a piece for you so that you can tell me what I can improve on?” Felicia suggested.
Emmanuel smiled wryly and said, “Miss Felicia, don’t overestimate me. I was merely speaking without thinking earlier.”
“How could you have spoken without thinking? Your remarks not only gained everyone’s approval but also earned my admiration.”
Ignoring Emmanuel’s refusal, Felicia proceeded to sit in front of the zither and began to play.
The sound was exquisite.
Experiencing Felicia’s music alone was undoubtedly more enjoyable than appreciating it with others.
Felicia’s music was at times high-pitched and at times melancholic as if it could steal people’s souls.
Emmanuel’s gaze gradually turned vacant as if he were a soulless vessel.
“Mr. Lowe? Mr. Lowe?”
At some point, Miss Felicia stopped playing, stood up, and slowly approached Emmanuel.
Emmanuel remained unresponsive.
Miss Felicia leaned down, gently caressing his handsome face, and sighed. Her breath was fragrant. “If you didn’t love Mackenzie, you wouldn’t be my enemy…”
Her hand slowly reached Emmanuel’s neck. Just as she was about to exert pressure and pierce his throat, she suddenly realized that someone was tightly gripping her wrist, preventing her from exerting any strength.
“You… you didn’t fall into the illusion?”
Felicia appeared astonished, staring at Emmanuel in disbelief.
“Miss Felicia, your technique is indeed impressive!”
Emmanuel’s gaze returned to normal, but there was a hint of aloofness in it. “First, you mixed the fragrance into the air, and then you combined it with the melody to trap me in an illusion and kill me. Unfortunately, it’s a pity that I possess a special breathing technique to resist toxins, and your level of cultivation is insufficient to make me lose myself with just the melody!”
He was the direct disciple of the Ghost Doctor!
During his time in the Northern Region, he learned the Turtle Breath Technique and the Hundred Turns Breathing Technique. If it weren’t for that, how could he have survived multiple encounters with biochemical weapons on the front lines?
