Chapter 308 - Final Inspection before becoming an official landlady
After appearing in the plaza, I directly went inside the world tree realm. Even before I was able to make a few steps through the stunningly beautiful flower field, I felt a fluctuation of mana in the surroundings and then a sudden tight hug from behind me. I stopped walking and ruffled the hair of the clingy guy currently hugging me.
I spoke with a soft and teasing voice, "What's with the hug, huh? Are you trying to distract me about something you did that you were not supposed to?"
Laerad stayed silent and just hugged my waist tighter. He buried his face on the crook of my neck and murmured, "Can't I just miss you? Why are you immediately thinking that I did something wrong?"
I chuckled and teased him again, "You don't hug me as a greeting before? I did not know you were this clingy."
He stayed in the same position and murmured, "You'll have to get used to it now. I don't have the right to touch you like this before but now I do. We've done way more intimate things than this. Are you disgusted by my touch after you've done everything you wanted with my body?"
I laughed loud at how dramatic he was. I tapped his arms and said, "How are we going to walk forward if you don't let go of me?"
With an aggrieved voice, "We can levitate and we can teleport instead. No walking. I'm not letting go."
I responded, "Fine. If it's just a hug you want, I can give you as much as you want but I'm not giving you anything else afterwards."
His hug immediately loosened from my waist and he slowly raised his head. He spun my body so I ended up facing him and he looked at me coldly, "What do you mean that you're not giving me anything else?"
I stared at his cold face and immediately crouched down a bit so my face is in front of his womb. I leaned forward to hug his waist and give a kiss on his lower abdomen. I used a cute and loving voice, "My adorable and lovely son and daughter, mother missed you so much. Your father is being dramatic again. Just ignore him and just eat up then grow healthy and stong, okay?"
I felt his body stiffen and then heat up with my sudden hug. He then shivered as my lips made contact on the skin right on top of his womb through his clothes. I even heard a lewd sounding whine with that shiver.
I straightened my back and looked at his gorgeous face which has obviously turned red from the surprise kiss. I grabbed his hand and started walking with him in tow towards our little tree hut in the middle of the flower field. He stayed quiet as we walked forward.
Once we got inside, I pushed him to sit comfortably on the sofa and then sat next to him. I leaned my head on his shoulder, still holding his hand in mine and asked, "How is the building projects inside of the world tree realm going?"
His modulated but soft voice immediately replied, "Just like my last report, I have finished the areas of Gollmortha, Freyheimr, Yphradiz and Zanahavre with just a few more final touches that needs to be done after we both check it out. I built two massive realm layers full of different bodies of water, earthen formations and a wide expanse of lush forests. These layers will be shared by the giants, elves, fairies, heralds and beast men. I recreated the basic structures for those four living areas except for Lyartaim since I will let them decide where their houses will be placed and what they will look like since there's just so many types of beastmen. I haven't started with Aeterdumnox though."
I nuzzled my head on his shoulder and praised him, "That's great. Did you rest in between just like I told you?" He replied with a simple. "Hmm..."
It was honestly a little awkward now that I think about it. We had our month-long sudden honeymoon not long ago but that was technically the first time we have been together. Things just happened so fast that we were not able to get used to the intimacy and the sudden change in status yet. Today is the first time I have met him since then though we talk telepathically almost everyday. Being together physically is still different, of course.
I spoke after a few minutes of just enjoying the proximity and silence, "Shall we start the inspection then so we can finish early? We need to inspect those two layers and those four living areas."
I heard him click his tongue and then his arm snaked around my waist. The next thing I know we were on the same bed we spent a month rolling on recently. I ended up laying on my back and him on top of me. He then murmured, "Who even wants to inspect in these circumstances?"
Everything that happened next does not have anything to do with inspecting the living areas at all. Well, maybe a little bit if we talk about inspecting each other's bodies. I did forget that pregnant mystique men (I guess deities are included) are hornier and clingier than usual since the child in their wombs are pushing their fathers to get more sustenance for them.
We rolled in the sheets for the next 24 hours or so before I had to stop him by force. If I didn't give him a double threat about not getting any visits from me for the next half a year and putting the health of the twins at risk, I think we would go for a month again!
He reluctantly left the bed with me carrying him inside our luxurious bath. He was sporting an obviously aggrieved face. We had a "wholesome" bath for the first time and the guy just refused to move as his way of showing his displeasure that I had to do everything from dry his whole body with a towel, clothing him, brushing his disheveled hair and putting his shoes on. I think I just got myself a big baby this time.
After all the miscellaneous activities, we finally got to check on the progress of the rebuilding of the realm. His spirits were immediately up as he proudly explained to me what are the things he has created so far. I gave a few of my suggestions and he immediately put into effect the final touches based on my suggestions. After about a half a day's worth of work, we were able to finally say that the two realm layers are finally ready for our renters.
At the end of my tour, he brought me to another place separate from the two forest layers he created. He smiled at me mysteriously but I think I already have an idea as to what this surprise was.
Earlier, I have already discussed with him about creating a personal space for me within the realm which I can design and do with whatever I wanted. I simply told him that I want to have my own little hut and I also plan to place a direct portal to the Eieneos palace from there.
As he brought me to my personal space, I was surprised with its sheer size, I don't think it is right to call it a space. It is another realm layer on its own. He placed another sea of flowers in the middle but he gave me free reign on the designing the hut and preferred areas that I wanted.
I smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I honestly told him that there are two other things I wanted to place in my personal space. He guessed the first one correctly which was a living area where all my family members will live in (a.k.a future mystique husbands and our children) but he failed to guess the second one.
I smiled at him again and simply said, "I want to support this new realm with you." He looked at me in surprise and I know it is something that never came to his mind that I would do. I revealed the last thing I am building to him since I may need his help to connect things and make them work.
I revealed to him that I plan to build another place where I can put several elemental orbs similar to the ones I took back to heal him up before. The other orbs will be the ones that will be used to keep all the "rent" that will be paid to us soon. It is my way to ensure that besides my deity husband and me, the "rent" that we will be receiving will also be used as another source of support for the new realm.
I don't want Laerad to act as a sacrifice again and use his own mana and life essences to support and maintain this realm's existence. I don't care if it is his job to support the realm. It is my job to keep my husband and father of my children healthy and out of a coma.
When Laerad heard about my plan, his face showed different emotions. At first, he seemed to be just smiling when I was talking about the hut then he frowned when he found out about the community I want to build. At last, he looked at me as if he was extremely touched and about to cry when he found out that I wanted to support the realm with him. I smiled at him and told him that his essences will be needed by me and his own children from now on which made him blush furiously for some reason. It must be him and his dirty mind again.
After all that I have come for has been accomplished, I teleported back to Eieneos. I teleported again to the plaza in Eieneos and then did another one to get to the palace. I went straight to my own room to sleep. I really can't get used to Laerad and his endless stamina.
