After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 347 - 126: Why Does He Get the Goddess’s Attention?
Pleasure Kingdom.
This was a nation that pursued the elevation of both physical and spiritual pleasure, worshipping the Goddess of Pleasure, and sought to achieve spiritual resonance through physical union, thus eliminating barriers between people.
The connection and spiritual touch were not limited to gender or species; as long as both parties were willing, they could engage in spiritual communion through physical union.
Many wealthy merchants and nobles, in order to experience this unique form of soul connection, traveled far to the Pleasure Kingdom, spending unimaginable fortunes to experience the ultimate collision of body and soul, exploring the path of pleasure.
Xi Mu raised his hand to adjust his cloak, walking alongside Eden who also wore a cloak, with a mare following behind them.
And at that moment.
"Young man, don’t be in such a hurry to leave." a masked noblewoman, standing in front of Xi Mu, daringly used her folding fan to lift Xi Mu’s cloak, sizing him up, "How about a drink, my treat?"
"Not interested." Xi Mu responded coldly, showing no interest in the noblewoman’s invitation. With Eden and the mare by his side, how could he possibly be interested in a mere NPC, as talking further would just waste his time in progressing the plot.
To this, the noblewoman pulled out a black card and offered, "One drink for a hundred thousand Gold Coins, will you or won’t you?"
She loved this type of aloof and handsome man, evoking a thrilling sensation of tarnishing purity; just the thought sent electric currents coursing through her spine and heat to her lower belly, almost making her want to devour the man before her on the spot.
This was the delightful aspect of the Pleasure Kingdom.
Back in her own country, she had to maintain the restraint and elegance of a noblewoman, but in the Pleasure Kingdom, as soon as she put on her mask,
she could fully unleash her true nature.
"..." Xi Mu frowned slightly, and Eden, standing beside him, stepped forward, grabbed Ahtal’s wrist, and calmly explained to the noblewoman:
"We didn’t come to the Pleasure Kingdom for physical and spiritual pleasure, but for other purposes." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Is that so." The noblewoman covered the lower half of her face with her fan, carefully observing Xi Mu and Eden, and expressed her regret:
"If you change your minds, you can contact me anytime."
She handed out a business card.
"And if you, beautiful lady, would like a drink worth a hundred thousand a cup, I would be very happy to comply."
"Forget it!" Xi Mu suddenly raised his voice, causing the noblewoman to freeze momentarily, then burst into laughter.
"How rude of me, it seems you are purely in love." She nodded gracefully, stepping aside to let them pass, teasing, "Couples in the Pleasure Kingdom often face trials in their relationships. I hope you can maintain such purity."
"..." Eden didn’t speak, pulling Ahtal along to leave, while the noblewoman watched them go with a smile.
"Madam, you really are meddling." An elder servant dressed like a butler, with graying hair, approached and sighed at the noblewoman, "Inviting someone intimate with Ahtal could be very dangerous."
"Ahtal?" The noblewoman blinked, confused as she looked toward the butler; she didn’t realize that the man she invited was Ahtal, but seeing him draped in a cloak, there was a mysterious allure she couldn’t resist lifting his cloak.
After confirming that his appearance was attractive enough, she naturally made the offer.
"A man accompanied by an eight-legged horse can only be Ahtal in this world," the butler explained the reason.
The noblewoman turned to look and indeed saw that beside Ahtal, there was an eight-legged horse, just as the legends described.
"Had I known, I wouldn’t have given up the invitation so easily." Her first reaction was a missed opportunity to invite a legendary hero.
Such an opportunity might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Butler: "..."
His mistress seemed to be thinking with her lower half rather than her brain, fantasizing about reaching out to someone of Ahtal’s stature, who would obviously not reciprocate; they were simply not from the same world.
"Madam, since Ahtal has appeared in the Pleasure Kingdom." He bowed his head, earnestly advising, "this subordinate suggests we leave the Pleasure Kingdom immediately."
The noblewoman inquired, puzzled, "Why?"
"Any nation Ahtal visits never remains stable." The butler explained, familiar with Ahtal’s history, noting that wherever he went, major events occurred—if not total annihilation of states, then at least some kind of natural and man-made disasters.
Plus, with Ahtal representing the Church of Death to some extent and the Church’s major campaigns against monsters, the Pleasure Kingdom was very likely to become a battlefield.
If they didn’t flee now, they probably would never get the chance.
"It couldn’t be that coincidental, could it?" The noblewoman said uncertainly, yet her body honestly followed the butler as they hurriedly left the Pleasure Kingdom.
She was also familiar with Ahtal’s history. Lionheart Castle, where he started, was now in ruins; he helped Princess Letixia save her kingdom from a volcanic eruption crisis; he went to the Magic Kingdom during a coup, and Sky City caused a dragon crisis. She heard that even the Dragon Kingdom had major troubles because of Ahtal recently.
Although not by Ahtal’s own intent, such a legendary hero invariably brought with him some... accidents.
And she had indeed heard that there were signs of the Church of Death’s activities in the Pleasure Kingdom.
Meanwhile,
Elsewhere.
