Chapter 194: Nyla's Another Mischievous Plan
"Today, all the beasts are yours as I'm done with my quest," Rio responded, ruffling her silky hair.
Helia was sleeping in her tent and The duo was sitting outside beside each other on the ground covered by a purple blanket.
The magenta-haired beauty nodded as she was beaming with joy for becoming stronger than her peers. She didn't think she would be able to power level in one day to reach almost the peak of the black stage, she was thanking Lia in her heart as this was all her idea since Helia didn't want to come to this place.
Nyla was also delighted because she get to meet Lia and Helia after almost dying once as it completely changed her tormenting life into a blissful one that the girl always dreamt about.
The magenta-haired beauty had her Rio beside her and as her husband, she also had two loving sisters and moreover, she was getting stronger because of them.
Not only they helped her to reach almost the peak level of the black stage but they even gave her an exalted clover ring which was a treasure on its own.
The boy continued and said, "Your family will stupefy if they discover your current strength."
"Yeah, they may take all the credit if I become red stage warrior so I'm just going to keep it secret as long as possible," Nyla said, her voice a little bitter when she thought about her family.
"They will find out in the international tournament that's going to happen in six months. With your current strength, I doubt anyone will be able to stop you from winning the semi-finale" Rio praised her as he experienced her strength firsthand.
"Actually, There are four people I have to be cautious of if I reached the international tournament.
First is Lily Havenglow, I heard she recently break through to the red stage. Second is that mysterious young miss Hazel Cloven, two years ago that girl was in the black stage.
Third is Lex Magnus, He was also a purple stage warrior last year when I fought him but he was at the peak stage so he might have reached the black stage already." Nyla said as she described the possible opponents who may become hurdles for her to win the semi-finals.
"You didn't say the fourth one," Rio questioned, as he gazed into her green eyes and a soft smile was present on his calm face.
"Fourth one is my sweetie," Nyla replied with a lively smile as she wrapped her hands around his neck.
"Why me?" He asked, scrunching his eyebrows.
"Because my inner instinct says you may surpass us all. Even when you were at the purple stage you were easily able to kill these laughing alligators. You even wipe out the complete team of Ruben, did you forget that?
Imagine what would happen when you reach the black stage. I don't think anyone would be able to stop my sweetie." Nyla pecked his cheeks, saying those words.
She continued, placing her head on his chest as she could hear his heartbeat, "I hope we don't become each other's opponent in the international tournament."
"That's not possible," Rio responded.
"Don't jinx it." Nyla retaliated with puffed cheeks.
"That's not possible because either of us won't be defeated unless we meet each other, so we may either meet in the quarter-finals, in the semi-finals or maybe in the finals. So it's hard to avoid each other and pray that we don't become one another's opponent." The boy told her the reason why as he kissed her forehead.
Nyla didn't say anything as she was fabricating a mischievous plan in her mind that she was going to pull off in the international tournament if they really met.
The magenta-haired beauty went to rest in her tent as Rio told her she should take a nap to prepare for the night as Nyla had to fight again and needed to be in her best condition. He was going to look after both girls while they were taking their beauty sleep.
As both girls were resting in their own beds inside the tents, Rio stood up and went to examine the surrounding as they were going to leave tomorrow morning so he decided to take a tour.
As Rio approached the lake, he started to inspect all the plants growing near the water's edge using his [Heaven's Eyes].

Rio sighed as he realized these plants weren't as extraordinary as the golden berries. This was common to occur as precious treasure herbs wouldn't appear every day when he went out on an adventure with beauties.
He decided to return and started walking back but then he halted his footsteps and turned around to gaze at the deep lake suspiciously.
'There must be a reason behind this lake that causes the alligators to guffaw abnormally, Only if I could dive deeper into the water I may find the answer to this puzzle.'
He was gazing at the lake water as he wanted to discover the secret about the reason these beasts acted weirdly. In the end, he casually cast his [Heaven's Eyes] on the lake water to inspect its description.
