The Bored Immortal Chapter 212

Viktor looked up at the skies and said, "I guess it's because I lived as a villain for all those years before. I wanted to see how it would feel to lead a life opposite to it. And also...to forget certain things. You could say I was searching for my purpose in life and ended up helping others."

"At least something good happened because of it, and you did save people. So that's nice," Nyissa said with a soft smile.

The two continued to talk as Viktor shared his stories over the centuries, and whenever he mentioned a woman, he would get a light slap on his hand.

By the time he had covered about a few centuries of history of his life, Nyissa had lost count of the number of times she had slapped his hand.

When she heard that even now in the present life, he still had a woman or two, she appeared to sulk and asked him why he needed her when he could go and marry them.

However, Viktor, with his cajoling skills, was able to make Nyissa come around by saying that she was one of a kind and nobody else could replace her.

Nyissa didn't know if she should feel happy or upset that he still had other women in the present. But at the same time, she was feeling sad for him since she could see how much he loved each and every one of these women he mentioned though they were not beside him anymore.

Since she never had a relationship, especially with ordinary people, she never knew the pain someone with a long life would feel when falling in love with them.

So she unconsciously would caress his hand as if to comfort him, and Viktor, who thought she was going to slap his hand again, was surprised by her gentle and soft caress.

He smiled as he immediately wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her towards him as he let his other arm wrap around her waist as well, trapping her within his hug.

Nyissa was startled and clutched his shirt with both her hands to maintain a distance between their faces since she thought he was going to kiss her again.

However, Viktor didn't do anything and was simply looking at her with a charming smile.

"Don't be so shy and look at me. I just want to see your beautiful eyes," Viktor lovingly whispered, making Nyissa's cheeks warm.

She slowly turned her head and looked up at him while squirming like a scared rabbit in his hold.

His eyes were not crimson but dark brown that was as calm as a pond. Still, the way he was looking at her made her soul feel like it was getting pulled towards him.

Viktor gazed at her black eyes that were gleaming like precious gemstones and slowly removed the black veil from her face to reveal her errorlessly beautiful and elegant face, especially her rosy red velvety lips that looked fatally inviting.

Nyissa held her breath and wondered why she was standing frozen even when he removed the veil from her face.

Was she anticipating something to happen? No way! That cannot be....

However, her fingers which were clutching his shirt, had their grip tighter.

"You know...you are the first woman I am going to marry who is not a Regular. So I am even more hopeful you will be with me for a very long time, won't you? With magic at your fingertips, I am sure there are lots of ways to extend one's life," Viktor asked in a soft voice, making Nyissa subconsciously relax her body, feeling a warmth in her chest to see how much he wanted them to stay together for as long as possible.

She could understand his worries since he was someone blessed or cursed with eternal life, while even if she had a long lifespan, it was not eternal.

And what Viktor said about using magic, in his words, was mostly right. But even then, it still had a limit, and as far as she knew, even the ones who went down unorthodox paths or practiced taboo black arts in pursuit of immortality all failed or died a horrible death.

In fact, people had been trying to seek the unobtainable for time immemorial, but nobody was able to succeed.

Still, she unconsciously nodded and said, "Yes...I am not going anywhere…I promise..."

Viktor happily smiled and hugged her as Nyissa's face rested on his chest, feeling happy yet sad at the same time since she knew he would one day outlive her and that her promise to him would be broken.

But still, this made her even more determined to live as long as possible by increasing her strength and powers.

Viktor's existence was like a shocker to her, and even now, she couldn't understand how someone who died could come back to life again and again.

The tremendous increase in power and abilities he showed in the Naraka Bridge was another thing she was puzzled about. She was in a dilemma of whether to tell him or not or if it would have an ill effect on him.

She just didn't want him to turn into a mindless monster that would destroy everything in his way.

The two continued to hug each other as if they were unable to notice the passage of time. It was as if these two were the only ones left in the world now.

Fortunately, the place where Nyissa and Viktor were standing was in her father's backyard, because of which nobody else was around.

However, just a few moments ago, the patriarch accidentally stumbled upon these two from a distance away, witnessing one of the most shocking sights in his life...his indifferent daughter hugging a man so intimately?

What has the world come to? Did some spirit possess his daughter? Sigh...she is not my little girl anymore...

'Ahem,' The patriarch immediately withdrew while clearing his throat to not disturb them. Still, he felt happy to see that his assumptions were not wrong.

Viktor gently raised Nyissa's chin and said, "Now you know something about me. But I know nothing about you. How about you tell me how you have led your life all these centuries? And...where is your mother?"

Hearing Viktor asking about her mother, Nyissa's expression suddenly became complicated before becoming cold, and this didn't go unnoticed by Viktor.
