Chapter 610: Suspicion - 1
Chapter 610: Suspicion - 1
"Master... Not here..." Lily muttered quietly.
Ahh... She is feeling embarrassed because people are watching. Leo understood. Even if those people in the shadows were enemies and would eventually be killed by Leo and Lily, it was still embarrassing for Lily to do this in front of them.
"What? Did I hear that correctly? Are you trying to disobey your master?" Leo suddenly asked in a stern voice.
"B-but, Master, I will only disturb you... and... and what if some beast attacks? I won’t be able to defend you." Lily quickly came up with excuses.
"So you are indeed trying to disobey your master. Natalie."
"Yes!" Lily jolted when Leo addressed her in such a serious manner.
"If you don’t come and sit here within 10 seconds, then get ready for punishment. And I won’t hesitate to punish you, even if we are out in the open."
"10... 9... 3..."
"NO!" Lily shouted and promptly nestled on Leo’s lap.
Whatever punishment Leo had in mind would surely be worse than sitting on his lap right now.
"Good girl." Leo patted her head, making Lily’s face turn bright red.
He was thoroughly enjoying teasing Lily and, of course, feeling her soft body against his. Especially her silky-smooth thighs and hips.
Now that I think about it, we have never eaten in this position... Leo searched his memories but found none.
"Go on, feed me," Leo said, handing her the bowl.
Lily nodded and scooped up some boar meat soup, gently blowing on the spoonful before feeding it to Leo.
"Mm. Nice. Now..." Leo then took the same spoon and fed Lily.
"Master, let me feed you first. You must be hungry after the day’s work..." she said as she continued feeding Leo one spoonful after another.
Leo, of course, never missed an opportunity to kiss Lily whenever she leaned in to blow on the food to cool it down.
Meanwhile, in the shadows...
"This clueless jackass surely has some problem down there," a man wearing a black mask muttered.
"Yeah... this body can’t even handle two times in a row, and this guy was going all night despite having an injured body," another masked man said.
"Fuck! If only I had been summoned into his body..." the third masked man grumbled.
"Is he going to have sex out here? I mean, look at him, kissing that slave woman everywhere."
Then, as if struck by an idea, the second man’s eyes lit up.
"Oi! Since that woman is a slave, what if we call that bitch into her body and then summon that ruthless Great Knight into that man’s body?"
Hearing that, the other two men’s expressions brightened as well.
"That’s an awesome idea, man. This adventurer’s body seems to be filled with vitality and can go several rounds, and that Great Knight will surely like this body... And that bitch—she enjoyed sucking so much out of me that I nearly died. Now she’ll get a taste of her own medicine."
"Hahaha, you weren’t alone, dude. She nearly killed me too. Can you even imagine how much energy she sucked out of us that our spiritual bodies were on the verge of collapse? Let’s make her go through the same torment. That Great Knight is famous for making even the sluttiest of sluts beg for mercy. I bet she’ll die getting fucked day and night."
"Hehehe, as payment for incarnating him, I’ll ask for a front-row seat to watch him destroy her cunt, just..." The masked man licked his lips as he looked toward Leo and Lily.
"It’ll be even more enjoyable if she has a great body and that man has a huge dick."
The men in the shadows continued discussing their plans, completely convinced that Leo and Lily were nothing more than an ordinary adventurer-and-slave duo.
Back at Leo’s location, several wolf beasts had been drawn by the smell of the cooked food and were now locked in battle with Leo.
"Master, I told you we should be careful. You shouldn’t have distracted yourself over me..." Lily said with a pout while firing fireballs.
"Who said I was distracted? I willingly invited these beasts over to get some post-meal exercise so I’d become tired enough to sleep without thinking about sleeping with you out in the wild," Leo said with a smirk.
"How I envy those Beast Masters who can have their beasts stand guard all night while they indulge with their woman anytime, anywhere. Tsk, privileged assholes."
Lily felt alarm bells ring in her head, as if Leo might actually take on the role of a Beast Master during their next mission and do exactly what he was complaining about right now.
With that, the night passed, and the next day, Leo and Lily resumed their journey in search of a better hunting ground.
"Natalie," Leo called.
"Yes, Master?"
"I was thinking about letting you study more about magic, and then magical plants. It’ll make you stronger and more knowledgeable."
"B-but, Master... That will be very expensive. Please don’t waste so much on me. I am already grateful that you treat me so nicely..." Lily said shyly, staying in character.
"Hmph! I already said that you’ll become my wife someday. I can’t have you being illiterate."
These were just some random conversations they had planned to perfect their act. As for their real goal, Leo kept his senses wide, constantly monitoring Patric’s party for any changes and observing the 3 men trailing them.
He had been certain that something might happen while they slept that night.
But nothing did.
And this continued for nearly three days.
"Phew, we’ve now got a haul worth more than 150 Silver Coins. We’re in profit," Leo said confidently.
"But, Master, it didn’t seem that difficult. I think we should look around more. I-I mean, I’m just suggesting. You have the final say," Natalie said nervously.
"Oh? Good thing you’re speaking a bit more freely now. Keep it up. And you’re right. I’m planning to explore further."
Leo said that because Patric’s group still hadn’t encountered any anomalies and continued exploring the secret realm. Naturally, the six men were still trailing Patric’s party, while the remaining three continued following Leo.
When will the drug even take effect? Leo wondered.
Right at that moment, something finally happened.
