Chapter 112: Kisses Are Truly Magical

“Master, what are you doing?”

“Can’t you tell?”

Lin Nuo pulled the quilt up a bit and showed her the cover of “Record of a Fallen Goddess”.

“Reading a smutty book in bed. Is that accurate enough?”

“If I were with you, what would you do?”

“I would read my smutty book.”

“I mean — ” A slender, delicate hand entered his field of vision and pressed the book down, forcing Lin Nuo to look at the girl before him, whose eyes were curved into a smile.

Xī used one hand to smooth the hem of her priestess habit.

Her hips, which possessed a perfect, full curvature like a crescent moon, rested against the edge of his bed, causing a small indentation.

“If there were no such thing, and it was just you and me on the bed… What would Master do then?”

“Go to the study and grab another smutty book to read.”

“…”

“Sigh… That’s no fun,” Xī said in a soft, gentle whisper, “Master, you helped me so much this time. Honestly, as long as you ask, I will satisfy you no matter what you want.”

“…”

Lin Nuo had never believed that kind of talk.

‘If I said I wanted to feel her breasts, would she really agree?’

‘Wait… Since it’s Xī, it’s actually hard to say!’

Lin Nuo changed the subject, “Have you chosen a new place to stay yet?”

“Of course. Your little bird chose it for me, Master. I’m very satisfied and plan to stay there tonight.”

“Chirp, chirp!”

Fatty Bird lifted its head from the green grapes Xī had peeled for it and hopped over twice, looking like it was begging for praise.

Though he didn’t understand why Xī wanted Fatty Bird to help her choose, it seemed reliable enough.

“There’s one more thing I should tell you in advance,” Lin Nuo said.

“If nothing goes wrong, the Migludia family will frame the overwhelming victory against the magical creatures on the Shilang Bay as being led by the mysterious Princess of Shilang Bay.”

“I’ve discussed this with Dax. If spreading the word this way makes Shilang Bay appear more mysterious and powerful to the outside world, and with the Clemence family’s knights stationed outside the mist, even if a Great Mage gets curious, they won’t dare offend that secluded land…”

“It will be safer there.”

Upon hearing this, Xī’s hand on his cloak tightened suddenly.

Her clear eyes revealed a bright, undisguised light.

She stared at Lin Nuo’s face with a sincere gaze, looking as though she wanted to imprint every inch of his features into her mind.

“Also, the strategy of using iron chains to defend against the enemy was originally something I only told a few of you. Just act as if you proposed it, but I was the one who announced it to everyone later. That will benefit me quite a bit as well.”

“If anything happens in Shilang Bay, you can also let me know.”

“…”

“Don’t just stay quiet!” Lin Nuo pulled the quilt up again.

Being stared at by those beautiful eyes made him feel a bit unsafe, as if his back was crawling.

“This is a win-win situation, and it’s beneficial for the Clemence family too… Don’t think you can walk all over me just because I’m afraid of you!”

“… Yes, yes, I understand. Master, don’t spoil me too much.”

‘What do you mean spoil… I’m talking about pros and cons, but you’re not listening at all, are you!’

He had a faint feeling that she still wanted to walk all over him!

As Lin Nuo looked down to continue reading his book, Xī turned her face away at the right moment.

An intensifying emotion surfaced in her eyes, carrying a heat that was no less intense than when she had imprisoned him.

“Master checked my body before, but I’ve suddenly discovered that there’s something wrong with Master’s body that needs treatment…”

The girl stood up and walked to the dressing table.

She twisted open a moisturizing lip gloss made of honey resin and lightly applied it to her cherry-blossom lips.

She pressed her pink lips together and then turned back to the man on the bed with a brilliant smile.

“Do you need me to treat you?”

“I… are you going to apply medicine to me again?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Xī tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her pinky.

With a sweet smile on her plump, moist, and rosy lips, she nodded her cute little head.

Lin Nuo had thought about it earlier.

It was perfectly fine to be more tolerant of his priestess, whose ending in the original plot hadn’t been very good.

“Well, if it’s not too much trouble, go ahead.”

“Tap, tap, tap.”

“Thump!”

“?”

‘Why did you jump onto my bed?’

Before Lin Nuo could ask, Xī’s exquisite and sweet “first love” face suddenly leaned in close, bringing with it a refreshing fragrance that gladdened the heart.

Then, her delicate nose almost touched Lin Nuo’s face as she sniffed his scent.

“Sniff—”

“Master’s mouth looks very dry…”

It was at that moment that Lin Nuo saw Xī’s lips.

They were moist and glossy, as if something had been applied to them.

‘They’re so pink. They must taste like cherries…’

Just as he was thinking that, she seemed to notice that her heart’s desire had finally discovered the decoration on her lips.

A soft, jade-like hand was placed behind his head.

In the next moment, Xī’s clear eyes flickered and closed as if she were about to enjoy something.

Her flawless, pretty face pressed down without allowing any room for argument.

“Mmph…”

In Lin Nuo’s wide-eyed gaze, a burst of sweetness bloomed between their lips.

– Kiss

“… I helped Master moisten them. Do you feel better immediately?”

A long time passed.

When she spoke again, Xī’s lips were slightly red and swollen.

She earnestly pinched Lin Nuo’s chin, inspecting the masterpiece she had deeply imprinted.

“Is this what you meant by…” Lin Nuo unconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, which still carried Xī’s sweet scent, “… applying medicine?”

“Yes,” Xī asked, tilting her head with an innocent expression.

“How does moisturizing your mouth not count as applying medicine?”

“Hmm… Kisses are truly magical. They don’t look dry at all now.”

“Why isn’t Master saying anything? Are the kisses not sweet, or does Master think… I did something wrong?”

“…”

‘No, it’s quite right. The kisses are very sweet too. Let’s just consider this a “lip-friendship.”‘

‘Tolerance. Tolerance.’

“I just wanted to tell you through my actions that your merit can be mine, and I can be yours.”

‘Uh, is that her… reason for wanting to kiss me?’

Noticing that the sky had mostly darkened, Xī slowly left Lin Nuo’s bed.

When the curtains were pulled so that only a tiny gap remained, she turned halfway back and asked, “Are you sure, Master, that I can sleep in any room on this floor?”

“Of course. I’ve already given the word, so it’s up to you… You’ve asked me twice now. Normally, you wouldn’t be this hesitant. You can’t be saying you want to share a room with me here, Hahaha…”

“…”

Lin Nuo stopped his awkward laughter because he realized Xī wasn’t laughing!

-Swish!

The small gap in the curtains was instantly closed as she waved her hand, having made up her mind.

The room immediately grew several shades darker.

Lin Nuo sat up straight and frantically winked at the white Fatty Bird beside him, which was full from eating grapes.

‘This… you didn’t choose this for her, did you?’

“Chirp, chirp!”

‘Ah? You really led her here?’

“Chirp…”

Before Lin Nuo could tell Xī she had misunderstood, Xī walked over and picked up Fatty Bird.

As if she didn’t want the things she was about to do next to corrupt Master’s bird, she placed the little bird on the perch on the balcony and rubbed its head.

“Thump—”

The balcony door closed, and the visibility in the room instantly dropped to a point where things were barely discernible.

However, in this dim state, if certain activities were performed, it felt more atmospheric than being completely exposed…

Walking on her lily-white feet, Xī, as expected, did not disappoint.

With a “whoosh”, she lifted the quilt and slipped inside, lying on her side next to Lin Nuo.

She hugged Lin Nuo’s arm, her eyes shining as they gazed at him even in this environment.

“Master, can I hypnotize you?”

“?”

‘Why are you saying that so bluntly!’

“Of course not! Also, you need to get off my bed. This is a misunderstanding. You can’t sleep here; you’ve definitely misunderstood my mean — “

‘Hey! I already said no! Why are you still trying to hypnotize me!’

A red, vertical pupil pattern appeared in Xī’s raised palm along with a fluctuation of magic.

At the same time, she deliberately blew warm air into Lin Nuo’s ear and said, “Be a good boy, Master. As long as you serve me obediently, I’ll give you lots of pocket money.”

“…”

‘As expected… Wooo… it’s one thing to use the power of the purse to control me. But why do you have to make me sound like some gigolo serving you!’

‘… No way, even after being prepared, am I still going to be “bought” by her?!’
