Chapter 693

At that moment, the kind of temptation no man could resist was fully unveiled.

It was especially so when Zara revealed her breathtaking, flawless face. It was simply beauty at its absolute peak. Her delicate hand lifted slightly, and the smooth curve of her shoulder began to show.

Felix was caught completely off guard. He hadn't anticipated Zara breaking her word so abruptly, let alone launching such a powerful move without a single warning.

His hands trembled violently as he tried to summon a burst of energy or a forceful wave to

knock her unconscious.

However, his body wouldn't respond. Some deep, primal urge in his mind held him back, preventing him from taking decisive action. And in the depths of his consciousness, the memories of their intimate dream became even more vivid. "Am I beautiful? Don't you want to have me-truly have me?"

Zara stepped closer to Felix, and with each step, a captivating fragrance grew stronger. It wasn't just a scent that filled his nose. It seemed to reach his very soul, pulling him toward

her.

Felix was at a loss for words. His forehead was drenched in sweat as he fought with all his might. He fought against himself, against the most primal of male impulses.

"In your dream, you were lost in desire. Now, it's right here, within reach. Don't you want to experience it for real?" Zara asked again.

She lifted his hand and guided it toward her. Her eyes were filled with soft, liquid warmth, and her gaze was so enchanting that any man would willingly surrender everything.

The old saying, "Even heroes couldn't resist the charms of a beautiful woman", might seem like a cliché to some. But only those who had faced such an encounter would truly understand its undeniable truth.

Felix prided himself on his self-control. He had resisted the playful advances of his nine fellow apprentices and kept his composure even around the most stunning women he had

met.

But Zara was different. Her beauty wasn't just physical-it struck at the very core of his being. It was beyond what words could describe.

At that moment, the inevitable happened. As their hands touched, Zara's expression turned shy. It was an expression so tender it was almost unbearable.

Felix couldn't hold back any longer. The inner battle was over. Whether reason had triumphed over impulse or impulse had crushed reason, he couldn't tell. All he knew was

that a soft breeze swept through, and the two of them vanished from the living room in an

instant.

Almost immediately, the front door flew open. Sensing that something was wrong, Silas rushed in, only to be struck by a massive wave of energy. It sent him flying backward, slamming hard against the wall. Before he could react, the door slammed shut again. "This is a disaster! A disaster!"

Silas lay there, gravely injured and unable to move, tears streaming down his face. He wasn't sure if it was out of regret or self-reproach.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Felix woke up. As his mind cleared, he realized what had happened, and a storm of conflicting emotions flickered across his face. Then, he noticed a note on the bedside table. Grabbing it in haste, he read it.

YOUT NO

"The transformation has begun. But please trust me, my dear husband. I will fully suppress it within a year at most or as soon as three months. By then, I'll still be the Zara you know." Though the note gave him a glimmer of hope, Felix felt no relief. He quickly focused his energy and found Silas outside. He hurried to bring him inside and began healing his injuries.

The memory was painfully clear-he had been so consumed by Zara's presence that when Silas entered, the defensive energy wave he instinctively unleashed had caused the injury. Felix had been completely out of control.

"I'm so sorry,

sir!"

Silas, now slightly recovered, shook his head silently. It was clear he didn't know what to say either.

"This is the note Zara left. What do you think?"

After reading it, Silas shook his head again.

"My knowledge is too limited to judge. You'd better consult your mentor. I only hope that Zara truly can control herself. If not, I'll be the world's greatest sinner and atone for it with my life!"
