NOVEL WEB Chapter 78: Going back to the mansion
I don't know whether it was Eve plea or Bonger warning that managed to knock me out of my frenzied state. What matters right now, is that thanks to either of them, I managed to pull my energy back and stop the circulation.
Looking at Baxhar state, it was really the last moment if he wanted to survive. With blood oozing out of his mouth, even taking a breath was a great hurdle for him. I don't know how, but I intuitively knew that with this, his cultivation will turn harder and harder as he goes on. I can't say I'm happy with this outcome, but in the end - he earned it himself.
I went through too much on earth to be a compassionate transmigrator like those in the novels I was reading back then. Even if I might have a way to fix his state right here and right now, there is no reason for me to do so! He tried to bully my love, so now he will suffer!
"My token."
Even if I calmed down now, there is still something I need to get over before I will be able to leave. No matter what the stunned audience might think about me, this token is one of the two main reasons why I even came here in the first place, so I won't hold myself back from retrieving it!
"T-take it and spare me, p-please!"
Ditching out a small jade token from his storage ring, Baxhar passed it to me with his trembling hand. One didn't need to be a medic to realise how hard it was for him to do such a simple thing!
"Good. Eve, can we leave now?"
As soon as I received the token, I simply turned around and left. Catching up with Eve in the middle of the arena, I really want to leave this damned place as soon as possible.
"Yeah. Let's leave."
Seeing her small nod, I grab her hand and are about to finally go back to the mansion where a sudden shout from the audience disturbs me.
"How much for this sword?!"
Okay, this is plain stupid. Are there really people willing to buy this useless piece of metal? Well, it's not like I'm lacking anything right now. If I will ever be in dire need of money, I might just craft a bit more of those weapons. If they will be as popular as this sword, this might be an easy way to earn loads of cash!
"It's not for sale for now."
To be honest, I didn't even bother to pick it up from the ground where Baxhar dropped it. If someone dares to pick it up and claim for himself, I will have an easy option to extort a lot of him in case of need. It's not like I allowed anyone to touch it in the end!
Thanks to hiding myself back under the tribune, I can finally have some rest. Taking a moment to change my clothes back to my usual robes, I grab Eve's hand again and leave the arena altogether.
"Why did you release so much of your energy? Weren't you scared about your cultivation going berserk?"
As we go through the streets while ignoring curious gazes from the passersby, Even tightens her grip on my hand as she asks her question.
"I admit, I let my emotions take over. I just couldn't stand his ugly face combined with all the bullcrap that he was uttering. It's not like I could be bothered by it, but hearing his insults simply made me imagine what did you have to go through before I met you!"
With the anger from the duel leaving my mind, its replaced by the warmth offered to me by Eve's hand. Pulling her closer to me, I intertwine our fingers in an intimate handgrip, while keeping her side as close to me as possible.
"Ah, you are so sweet! I guess I won't be able to excuse myself from the reward that I promised you!"
With a slight giggle that manages to wake the beast within me up, Eve reminds me of her promise. Well, I guess I teased her for far too long. If we don't get down to the business soon, she might simply erupt! While it's men who are told to be horny, if you believe this crap, you simply didn't have a chance to met a fiery woman!
"I wonder who will be the one receiving the reward though…"
Seeing her mischevious smile, I can't help but poke her a bit. Seeing her instantly blush up, I can't help but forget about everything else that transpired this day. Right now, only her shy smile matters!
"Stop that, you lecher! You might've gone at it with Stella, but it will be still a first time for me! Don't you think you should be grateful for me offering it to you?"
What?! The bomb has dropped! How the hell did she know about it? What am I supposed to say right now? How am I supposed to react? God damn it, it has to be the worst timing ever!
"Yyy… I'm sorry? I really don't know what to say right now…"
I've gotta say, she got me now. While events that happened back at Stella's place weren't my initiative, I can't say that I didn't enjoy having my way with sect master.
"Don't be so flustered. While I can't say that I'm happy that she got to be your first, that's just how she is. And there is nothing wrong with a strong man having several women… I just want you to remember that I will always be your first, are we clear?"
Oh my god, what is going on right now? Wait, it seems that I'm just influenced by the earthy way of thinking! Maybe there is some reason behind her reasoning!
"Are you sure about that? Of course, you will always have the top spot in my heart, but letting me go at it with other girls, are you sure its really okay?"
I can't help but be stunned by her attitude. For example, I would never be able to handle it if she were to have someone else besides me, so how is she able to accept me having affairs?
"Well, as long as I take care of you properly and make sure that you will leave my side with a full stomach and empty balls, I don't think I will need to worry about it at all!"
Daim! How can such a cheerful smile exist in this world! If I see it ever for a second longer, I think I will have a seizure!
