After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 289 - 104: He often looks at your... legs, alas!_2
"Siegfried is already dead," the white-haired Lolita stated and Fafnir nodded in agreement, glancing at Ahtal, who was eating a steak beside them, and said,
"That man died at the hands of Ahtal."
"Wait for Hell’s Gate to open, and then you can go and fight Siegfried once more," Xi Mu joked.
Fafnir revealed a smile,
"That’s something to look forward to."
"However, I must remind you," Xi Mu added, "the Siegfried in Hell is in a rational state. A rational Siegfried and an irrational Siegfried have completely different strengths."
He met Fafnir’s gaze.
"Even facing a rational Siegfried now would pose a challenge for me."
"Do you think I could win?" Fafnir asked seriously, but then he saw Ahtal’s silent expression and,
He smiled and said,
"It seems I’m still not strong enough."
"Then you’ll need to work hard," Xi Mu chuckled, and as if thinking of something, he took out a sheet of paper, "This is the magic for ’manifesting to me’; try learning it."
He revealed a gentle smile.
"It’s not a valuable magic, so it doesn’t matter if it spreads."
"Thank you," Fafnir accepted the magic sheet handed to him, treasuring it. He was very aware of the power of the magic ’manifesting to me’, and although Ahtal’s habit of giving it away to every hero he met made the magic seem cheap, it was still very strong.
Full from wine and sated from food.
Xi Mu and the white-haired Lolita left the City Lord’s mansion and began to wander around Fafnir City. After meandering for a while,
Dragons cast malicious glances at Xi Mu.
As a Dragon Slayer cursed, it was natural that dragons would harbor animosity towards him. Add to that Ahtal’s striking appearance, which could easily be recognized by the dragons as the recent hero who had slain their kin.
"Ahtal has kidnapped the little princess!" a woman in a blue dress and a hat, biting her lower lip, said.
She watched as Ahtal bullied the little princess while ostentatiously shopping for luxury goods and forcing the little princess to pay.
"That’s... disgraceful," a young man said in a low voice next to her, feeling a strong dissatisfaction with Ahtal’s treatment of the Dragon Clan’s little princess.
He wished he could take action against Ahtal right then and there.
But considering Ahtal’s current reputation and strength, he wouldn’t dare cause trouble for Ahtal himself.
"Cenys, don’t rush," the woman calmed herself and whispered to the boy next to her, "Our priority is to rescue the little princess first. Go inform the Lord of Fafnir City to deploy the army here. As long as we can ensure the little princess’ safety,"
Her gaze turned cold.
"we will take action and encircle Ahtal."
"Alright," Cenys nodded, blending into the crowd and heading towards the City Lord’s mansion.
After seeing this, the woman exhaled, adjusted the expression on her face, and revealed an elegant and seductive smile, quickening her pace to catch up to Ahtal and the little princess.
A moment later, inside a weapon store by the roadside,
"This one is nice, I’ll take it!" Xi Mu said, picking up an expensive-looking long sword from the shelf, then with a flick of his wrist, a flash of sword light grazed the cheek of a beautiful woman beside him, slicing off a few strands of hair.
In response, the woman took a step back in fear, touched her cheek, found no blood, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you wish to test the sword, please do not do so inside the shop," she said with a look of dissatisfaction, as if she didn’t recognize Ahtal.
"Humans, you need to learn some manners," she stated.
"Sorry, that was rude of me," Xi Mu said with a smile, handing the long sword to the white-haired Lolita beside him:
"I’ll take this sword as well."
"This sword is very expensive!" the white-haired Lolita exclaimed as she took the long sword, but Xi Mu didn’t care, rubbing the white-haired Lolita’s head:
"That’s why you need to pay for it."
"Don’t you have a shred of shame?" the white-haired Lolita asked with an indifferent expression. This man... certainly wasn’t short of money, with two nations backing him up and managing the Church of Death, money was just a number to Ahtal.
Yet.
"Our money doesn’t need to be separated," Xi Mu gently explained, "since you were the one who initiated the marriage proposal, you should be psychologically prepared, right?"
The atmosphere became tense.
"..." The lady’s beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the smiling Ahtal and the puffing little princess, her thoughts freezing in place.
In response, the white-haired lolita glared at the man with a bad sense of humor and, taking his wrist, went to the front desk to pay the money.
After the two left.
The lady finally came to her senses, quickly covered her mouth with her hand, although she had heard that the little princess wanted to recruit Ahtal into the Dragon Kingdom to avoid unwanted losses and to ensure that the magic of stealing dragon power from Ahtal did not leak.
But it shouldn’t reach the point where the little princess would offer herself in exchange.
Things were about to get troublesome.
...
...
Meanwhile, on the streets.
Xi Mu ran his fingers over the blade, revealing a satisfied expression. Seeing this, the white-haired lolita sighed softly and said:
"Ahtal, what... what exactly are you planning to do?"
Xi Mu casually replied: "Wandering the streets."
"If you want to wander the streets, I recommend you do it in the lands of humans," the white-haired lolita said seriously, "Wandering here will bring you a lot of trouble."
With Ahtal’s current reputation, a casual stroll in the Dragon Kingdom would attract a crowd of onlookers, making it impossible for him to hide.
It wouldn’t be long before dragons would come looking for trouble.
"It’s okay, I have dragon essence," Xi Mu smiled and, holding the soft hand of the white-haired lolita, continued to wander the streets.
The white-haired lolita, upon hearing this, had no choice but to accompany Ahtal on a leisurely walk, silently praying that no dragons would come to make trouble.
Otherwise, she would have to step in to protect Ahtal, trying to avoid a bloody conflict between both sides, because with Ahtal’s skill level, it was likely that the Dragon Kingdom... would face huge trouble, and might even attract the attention of the Witch of Death. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
...
...
Back at the inn.
Xi Mu leaned against the door frame, looking at Eden and the white-haired lolita inside the room, and yawned, "Little princess, do you want to sleep with me?"
"..." The white-haired lolita fell silent, not hesitant about sleeping with Ahtal but worrying that trouble might occur if she wasn’t by his side, which could exacerbate the tensions with the Dragon Kingdom.
But, considering the potential of having to become a young dragon mother if she slept with Ahtal.
"No."
"I will be in the room next door," Xi Mu said, not perturbed. He left the room, closing the door behind him and jokingly added:
"If you decide you want to sleep with me, come find me."
"Hmph," the white-haired lolita snorted, having no intention of going to Ahtal’s room in the middle of the night.
However, Eden, seeing this, shook her head and then said to the white-haired lolita:
"It would be better for you to stay in the same room as him."
She met the white-haired lolita’s gaze.
"It’s not that I want to drive you away, but there will definitely be a dragon coming to trouble Ahtal tonight. If you don’t want the tensions between Ahtal and the Dragon Kingdom to worsen, it’s safer to stay by his side."
"But..." The white-haired lolita was conflicted. If she went to Ahtal’s room on her own accord, there was a risk of becoming a young dragon mother.
Yet if she didn’t go, a more serious crisis could occur.
"Ahtal, won’t do anything inappropriate to you," Eden raised her hand to gently arrange her golden hair, "After all, he is a hero, and many admire him, but he has never misbehaved."
"He hasn’t misbehaved with you either?" the white-haired lolita’s gaze, subconsciously landing on Eden’s legs wrapped in black silk, "His eyes often fall on your legs."
"..."
Eden fell silent, then softly shook her head and said: "He has always maintained an appropriate distance, and has never done anything over the line."
