In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 656 My Beloved

"Fraud?"

Mo Chen frowned slightly, but Adele's answer was within his expectations.

Both the masked actor's identity and his race as a transforming potato plant spirit fit the theme of "deception" in the Ten Great Sins Authority.

"But he kept his promise to you, delivered the Heart-Connecting Ring to me, and didn't hide your whereabouts from me."

Holding Adele in his arms, Mo Chen's tone became inquisitive: "Does this contradict 'deception'?"

Upon hearing this, Adele gently shook her head, her pink hair brushing against Mo Chen's chest, her voice tinged with a tired hoarseness: "No, Lord Mo Chen. Sometimes, deception can be a carefully crafted lie, but sometimes, deception can also be using the most authentic mask to cover up the most illusory truth."

She tilted her head and thought for a moment: "That Yingyu... although he is a fraudster, he did not exercise authority over you and me in the form of lies."

“You’re right, Adele. Putting aside his identity as a masked actor, he is also a sinner who wields the power of great sin.”

Mo Chen gently stroked Adele's back to make her more comfortable: "Moreover, transforming into a potato plant spirit makes one a natural master of disguise, and the power of 'deception' has further enhanced Yingyu's talent."

Looking down at Adele in his arms, Mo Chen's tone became serious: "I understand now. Ying Yu may have laid out the truth in front of me, guiding me to actively immerse myself in the drama he wants to see. The more honest Ying Yu is about you, the more he can gain my trust."

"If that's really the case, then whether or not to speak out, one truly deserves to be the one to bear the guilt of 'fraud'."

Adele murmured to herself, involuntarily clutching her heart: "I am a sinner too, yet I've ended up being caught on the path to redemption..."

"That's not your fault, Adele."

Hearing the deep helplessness and self-loathing in the girl's voice, Mo Chen's expression changed. He quickly tightened his arms and whispered to comfort her, "The Path of Redemption can even forcibly abduct important figures from the Federation and the Empire under heavy protection. How can you, alone, possibly contend with them?"

Adele was taken aback at first, then a slightly embarrassed bitter smile appeared on her lips, and unconsciously she felt a little better.

"Please forgive me, Lord Mo Chen. I am clearly a sinner burdened by lust, someone who will only bring you trouble, yet I have foolishly regarded you as my true love. Tell me, am I too..."

Before Adele could finish speaking, Mo Chen suddenly raised a finger and gently pressed it against her lips, signaling her to stop talking.

Don't think like that, Adele.

Mo Chen reached out his other hand, cupped Adele's cheek, and forced her to look directly into his eyes: "It is my honor to be the one you have chosen as your true love."

He took a deep breath and then kissed Adele's red lips fiercely.

"Well!"

Adele's pupils dilated instantly, and she froze in Mo Chen's arms as if she had been electrocuted.

The kiss from Mo Chen was sudden and passionate, domineeringly demanding Adele's sweetness and fragrance.

Whether in dreams or in reality, Adele had never had such close physical contact with anyone before.

At first, her mind went blank, and she simply and passively accepted the kiss.

But soon, the power of 'lust' was ignited by this scalding touch, and revived in Adele's flowing blood.

A tingling sensation spread throughout her body from her lips, which were being kissed by Mo Chen, causing Adele's fair skin to flush a faint pink.

She closed her eyes, stretched out her arms, hugged Mo Chen's neck, and nestled into his embrace.

A sweet, cloying aroma wafts through the air, carrying a warm, slightly intoxicating scent.

That's a unique pheromone that only enchanting mushroom plant spirits possess, which is only released when emotions reach their peak.

As their lips intertwined, the unease and fear that had been building up in Adele's heart melted away, were swallowed up, and disappeared little by little with that kiss.

The heart-shaped succubus tail trembled and lifted up, carefully brushing against Mo Chen's calf, then, as if it had found a support, it tightly wrapped itself around him.

Adele tilted her head slightly, responding to Mo Chen's request without reservation.

Her tongue, clumsy yet passionate, followed Mo Chen's rhythm, as if she wanted to pour all her longing and love for him into this moment.

After a long while, until both of them were breathing rapidly, Mo Chen finally ended the deep kiss.

"Lord Mo Chen..."

Adele's voice was terribly hoarse, with a hint of languidness and softness after a satisfying meal.

She subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, where the taste of Mo Chen still lingered.

Those colorful eyes were once again veiled with mist, like a lake filled with spring water, reflecting Mo Chen's figure.

"That's really impressive..."

Adele did not choose to leave Mo Chen's embrace, but instead lingered, burying her face in the crook of his neck.

Right now, she wished she could completely merge herself into her beloved's body, and her tail wrapped even more tightly around Mo Chen's calves.

"Hey, before you kissed me, you must have kissed other girls quite a few times, right?"

She gazed at Mo Chen with a dreamy look, every move she made exuding the allure and seductive charm of someone burdened with the sin of lust.

"However, Lord Mo Chen, I don't mind. As long as you're willing to accept me, I'll do whatever you want me to do..."

Gazing at Adele's now completely unguarded and innocent appearance, Mo Chen leaned down slightly, letting his warm breath fall on her skin.

"Let's not talk about that now."

"Huh?"

Hearing him say that, the dazed Adele became a little more sober.

"When we meet in real life, I want you to say these words to me in person."

Mo Chen's voice was clear, striking directly into the depths of Adele's soul.

A surge of even more intense tears welled up in those colorful eyes.

"Ok!"

She nodded slightly, then buried herself even deeper into Mo Chen's embrace, as if she wanted to etch the warmth of this moment into her very bones, so that she could keep warm alone in the darkness to come.

"By the way, Adele, Winfish told me that I don't need to worry about your safety for the time being. Why is that?"

Suddenly remembering something, Mo Chen quickly asked, "He said you received a gift and assistance from a benefactor?"

"A distinguished person? A gift? Oh, that's what he meant."

Adele realized what was happening and took out an exquisite brooch inlaid with an amber crystal.

"This is a parting gift from a nun to me when I was young. After I infused it with plant spirit power, it will protect me from harm. However, after using it continuously for a while, the plant spirit power in my body is almost exhausted."

She didn't continue speaking, but Mo Chen knew that once Adele's plant spirit power was exhausted, she would inevitably suffer an extremely miserable end.

Mo Chen pressed further, "How long can the remaining plant spirit power... allow this brooch to protect you?"

"If we don't enter the dream again... we might be able to last for another three days."

Adele looked around and gave an inaccurate answer.

"I see... I understand."

Mo Chen's gaze instantly sharpened and hardened. He stared into Adele's colorful eyes, which were filled with mist, and said in a low voice with an undeniable power: "Three days... is enough."

He leaned down slightly and placed a light kiss on Adele's smooth forehead, as if making a silent vow: "Wait for me, let us meet again in the sober reality."
