Chapter 395: The Leisure Life of the Financial Officer
Sheriff and financial officer’s residence.
The courtyard in the evening.
Paglio laid leisurely on his big gold crystal bed. Dodo, the waiter who usually served him wine, was missing. Instead, sitting beside him was a beautiful green-haired woman in a long silver dress. She was none other than Ms. Emerald Dragon.
The green gem-like wine was the emerald jade wine carefully brewed by Krobelus using her secret method. The materials were expensive, and it had a high alcoholic strength. Even Chen Rui or Roman could only taste a little, but there were no restrictions for the poison dragon who was her own man. Paglio was now inseparable with this fine wine.
Krobelus fed a peeled red fruit into Master Poison Dragon’s mouth, and she wiped the corners of his mouth thoughtfully. Master Poison Dragon grinned. He hugged Ms. Emerald Dragon, and kissed her on the face. A trace of blush appeared on Ms. Emerald Dragon’s shy face. She then took the initiative to kiss Master Poison Dragon back without bothering the presence of Chen Rui, Roman and the rest.
However, compared with the food fed to the poison dragon’s mouth, 90% of the food on the table went into her own stomach.
The scene on the side was quite the opposite. Master Roman carefully held a bunch of freshly roasted vegetable rolls and brought it to Miss Delia’s mouth. Miss Delia glanced at him indifferently, and she did not speak. Roman put down the vegetable roll. He smiled apologetically as he handed over a bunch of purple berries. Delia was still staring at him coldly.
“Delia, just forgive this guy,” Athena held Delia’s hand.
Roman showed a grateful look to Athena. Then Master Paglio said, “Yes, this guy didn’t make any major mistakes. He just flirted with a dark elf girl on the side of the road, and then peeked in a female bathroom for 10 minutes plus. Next, he hooked up with 2 succubus in the bar… Uh, there are only a dozen of them in 1 day.”
Chen Rui was holding a report with the detailed content and time of these dozens of occasions. He couldn’t help but sweat. It seemed that Master Roman’s day was really “fulfilling”.
“Delia, you can’t appease this kind of man. If it’s me, I’ll give him a severe beating every 3 days and light beating every 2 days. You must let him know what honesty is.” Ms. Emerald Dragon said, completely ignoring Roman’s bitter gaze.
After getting along with each other during this period of time, Ms. Emerald Dragon and Delia, Athena, as well as Kia had become very close best friends. Their relations.h.i.+p was very harmonious.
Ms. Emerald Dragon didn’t have to face those nasty guys who were wearing hypocritical masks all day in this place. There were only sincere friends instead, so she felt extremely relaxed. Not to mention, her most important man, Paglio, was here too. Um, plus maybe the equally important treasure of some guy.
(The only pity is that Yini is gone.)
It was Paglio’s opinion not to disclose everything to Ms. Emerald Dragon just in case. The most important thing was that no one could beat Krobelus at present, and Master Poison Dragon was not completely sure that he could subdue Ms. Emerald Dragon with his charm. Therefore, it was better for some secrets like the ident.i.ty of “Charles” to be kept secret temporarily.
Perhaps Master Poison Dragon was afraid that Ms. Emerald Dragon would share the benefit that Chen Rui was giving him.
Roman blinked as he looked at Paglio with a little sympathy. Severe beating every 3 days and light beating every 2 days?
Paglio didn’t get it for a moment, “What is that look? Jealous?”
Roman was already rolling his eyes. I’m jealous of you?
Ms. Emerald Dragon saw Roman’s gaze on Paglio, and she said with pride, “Look at our Paglio, his strong body and sharp teeth. Let alone these handsome appearances, the most important is his loyalty. In this aspect, even the flirty playboy, Chen Rui, is far inferior than him.”
Once this sentence was uttered, Chen Rui and Roman, who were despised, glared at Paglio at the same time. Right, putting aside those sharp teeth and other “heavy taste” handsomeness, but loyalty… I remember a dragon has boasted more than once about his ideal human life… dragon life. It seems to be flying with a large group of female dragons in the Dark Moon sky?
“Um…” Faced with 4 sharp gazes, Paglio was unprecedentedly guilty, and he said, “Little Betty, everyone knows my strengths, so you don’t need to say it anymore. Judging from this secret test, Delia is indeed quite suitable for the Dark Demons’ job.
Chen Rui nodded, and he added a sentence, “In order to completely eliminate the possibility of someone cheating, I think you should accept the position of this commander, Delia. When you find that he has some signs of misconduct, you can immediately stop him at an early stage. Although Krobelus’ beating suggestion is a bit too violent, you may try to use it at certain times. I don’t mind exerting some effort to tie him up before handing him over to you.”
“Compared to the leader, that guy is just l.u.s.ty, but he’s not daring.” Delia looked at Chen Rui, then at Athena and Kia. She added with dissatisfaction, “You recommended me as the Dark Demon commander in front of a woman who you want to hook up with, right? It seems that now the leader’s ability is increasing and far-reaching.”
In any case, Delia was still quite protective of Roman in her heart. When Roman heard something was up, he was about to jump up and criticize Chen Rui for his insidious attempt to divert the heat. However, once Delia glanced at him, he sat down obediently with a docile and submissive look like the most loyal and honest man in the world.
Chen Rui knew that he was wrong, so he forced a smile. Athena was still fine, but Kia sighed lightly, looking self-pity and wronged. Krobelus’s righteous heart was triggered when she noticed Kia, so she angrily denounced Chen Rui’s unfaithfulness. Master Roman was secretly pleased when he heard her. From time to time, he would add fuel to the fire.
However, Delia finally agreed to Chen Rui’s request. She had been in the Dark Moon for so long. Although Roman as well as good friends like Chen Rui and the others were by her side, she was often bored and wanted to do something. Once known as “Madam Black Widow”, she had been in contact with many related matters in the Dark Shadow Empire. Although she was not proficient in intel and a.s.sa.s.sination, she was by no means unfamiliar with it.
Magic land, alchemist branch, devil fruit auction, trade fair… After the war of lords this time, the Dark Moon had already stepped onto the stage in advance. It would soon become the focus of the Fallen Angel Empire and the entire Demon Realm. They needed to have sharp eyes and keen hearing.
As for the candidates of the Dark Demon, they would be based on the Cloak Gang team. At present, the spies were mainly for the surrounding estates of the Dark Moon. In the future, they would consider expanding into the entire Demon Realm.
“Without further delay, I will now research a set of preliminary plans and proposals.” When it came to work, Delia was a swift and hard-working type. After agreeing to this matter, many ideas suddenly appeared in her mind, so she was unable to sit still.
“I’ll accompany you.” Roman naturally took the opportunity to hold her hand. Delia snorted, but she didn’t shake it away.
Seeing the young couple leave, Krobelus stretched out comfortably, and she snuggled into Paglio’s arms fairly openly, “Dear Paglio, what about the Vapour Glaze Eyes you promised me yesterday? When can you give it to me?”
“Vapour Glaze Eyes?” Paglio was taken aback. “How do you know I have that thing? When did I promise to give it to you?”
Krobelus smiled slyly as she held a recording stone. A familiar voice sounded.
“Little Betty… Your ice flame pendant ain’t nothing. My Vapour Glaze Eyes is the best! Next time… Next time, I…”
“Give it to me?”
“Ah…”
It was the conversation between Master Poison Dragon and Ms. Emerald Dragon. Judging from the slurred voice of Master Poison Dragon, he should be drunk.
Chen Rui, Athena, and Kia all seemed to have suddenly realized something. No wonder Ms. Emerald Dragon has been patiently and carefully serving the emerald jade wine for Paglio to drink. It turns out that she actually has ulterior motives… Master Poison Dragon stared blankly at the recording stone which was instantly disappearing in Ms. Emerald Dragon’s hand. Then he looked at the emerald jade wine in his hand, and he was speechless for a while.
I am actually set up by Little Betty again? This is unscientific!
I still haven’t seen Little Betty’s treasure yet. If we continue this way, I am about to go bankrupt!
If you live a life of crime, sooner or later you’ll pay for it. Maybe this counts as retribution? Chen Rui muttered in his heart, “Er, Krobelus, Paglio, I think you two have important things to discuss. We better leave first…”
Chen Rui quickly left the courtyard with Athena and Kia. They walked all the way to the room.
Athena smiled and said, “Finally someone is controlling Paglio now, but why I think he is quite pitiful.”
“Pitiful my a.s.s,” Chen Rui shook his head resolutely, “Back then, this guy cheated her money and s.e.x, he then drove away. Now is the time to get his retribution.”
Athena looked at someone gloating, and she pouted, “Speaking of cheaters, it seems that the man in front of us is the biggest cheater. Right, Kia?”
Kia nodded repeatedly, as though following the lead of the main wife.
“I’m innocent!” Chen Rui cried out for a while, “I just used some strategy to lie to the Regent Obsidian. I’m the most genuine and good man in front of you 2!”
“It seems to be more than that right…” Athena looked thoughtful, “Why do I hear Krobelus say that her friend named Charles has a very flirty relations.h.i.+p with Isabella? He even lives in her house?”
While Kia nodded, she a.s.sumed a posture of ready to torture him to extract a confession as long as the main wife gave an order.
Chen Rui quickly explained, “That’s also a strategy. Isabella is an important officer under Obsidian, so I must deceive her trust. There is really nothing between us!”
“Then…” Athena switched the topic, “What about Princess Royal Highness? It should not be… a strategy?!”
Kia blinked her charming eyes as she continued nodding.
When Athena misunderstood that my favorite woman is Shea in Mountain Xilang, she generously stated that she could accept Shea, her sister and Kia, but now why is there jealousy in her words?
Although Athena’s father pledged allegiance to Shea, and Shea was her immediate boss, from the perspective of a man’s “woman”, they were all the same.
“Princess Royal… actually, uh…” Chen Rui wanted to smooth things over by coaxing, but he suddenly remembered that it was not only Shea, but also Ms. Fairy Dragon!
Chen Rui secretly shuddered. I haven’t mentioned Zola to anyone yet, but Athena and the others will know sooner or later. How should I break the news? Should I say that I abducted a beautiful woman back after just going out for a while this time?
In fact, neither Athena nor Kia rejected Shea. Especially as a lord, not only Shea did not sacrifice them at the most dangerous juncture, but instead she kept them away from danger while she chose to fight the enemy to the death.
Both Athena and Kia knew this in their mind.
Nonetheless, no matter how generous a woman was, she was still a woman. If they really didn’t mind, it was truly unscientific.
“You go and settle it properly on Princess Royal and Alice’s side,” Athena thought that Chen Rui first “liked” Shea, and the Demon Realm men often had dozens or more wives and concubines. In fact, this guy was already restrained enough. She added another sentence, “Especially Alice, you must make her happy.”
When Kia heard the last sentence, she nodded seriously. It seemed that the little loli was quite good in social relations.h.i.+p.
Wait, why is Alice involved again? Could it be that the little loli told Athena and Kia of my agreement which I used to delay time?
Chen Rui felt guilty. He took a deep breath, and he decided to confess Zola’s affairs altogether, “Actually, there is 1 more thing…”
“What’s up?
“Uhm… It’s like this…”
Kia blinked her charming eyes, “Is it related to any other woman?”
Women’s instincts are terrifying… Chen Rui was a little sweaty.
“There are other women?” Upon hearing Kia’s words, Athena suddenly thought of Krobelus’ previous adjective of “flirty playboy.” There was a little more scrutiny in her eyes.
With a guilty conscience, someone’s words changed again, “What are you thinking… The auction will be held soon. The devil fruit is the highlight. The Dark Moon defeated more with less army this time, and its famous reputation throughout the empire can deter many small forces, but there will inevitably be many people with ulterior motives. Your task is very crucial this time. While recruiting and training new recruits as soon as possible, you must arrange various defenses, especially the auction house area. We must strive to be foolproof. .”
“I understand. You have to make corresponding arrangements in the Cloak Gang.” Athena nodded, and she didn’t think much. However, Kia showed a hint of suspicion, and she coughed slightly as if to remind Athena.
“Kia, are you unwell?” Chen Rui asked deliberately.
“Hmph! I just feel like you are hiding something from us.”
Chen Rui’s back was drenched in sweat. He quickly changed the subject, “Uh… Did you not notice one thing? In the past 2 days, do you feel any changes in your power?”
“Speaking of this, I do feel a little different,” Athena said, “It seems that the power in my body has become a little more refined. It seems that this effect can only be obtained through long-term hard training?”
“I also feel that way. According to my training schedule, it shouldn’t be so fast.” Kia looked at someone who was beaming, “You seem to know the reason?”
When Athena and Kia heard that it was related to the increase in power, their attention was really diverted.
Chen Rui showed a lewd gaze, “Have you forgotten? Didn’t we train hard these 2 nights?”
Athena and Kia blushed. Indeed, they were quite “hard-working” these 2 nights. If it weren’t for the soundproof magic circle effect of the bedroom, perhaps the sound of them “working hard” could be heard throughout the block.
“Can you be more serious?” Athena blushed, and she grabbed him. In response to the main wife, the little maid also took the opportunity to punch him.
“I mean it,” Chen Rui grinned and said. Last night, he accidentally discovered that during the s.e.x, the [Dual Training] in the pa.s.sive characteristic glowed strangely on the skill tree. After 2 days, his power showed signs of condensing. It was more handy to use. It was equivalent to the results of hard training for a few days or more.
The higher the level of power, the more difficult it was to train. For Chen Rui, this kind of “refining” was undoubtedly a rare improvement.
Judging from the reactions of Athena and Kia, this benefit is for both man and woman.
I initially thought that the characteristic of [Dual Training] was only for life and vitality training, not some kind of obscene skill. Unexpectedly, it came back again. It was actually a mating skill. No wonder this obscene skill has another note – “Sometimes, there will be special effects.”
This “special effect” is very good and powerful.
Tsk… I like it very much.
It is truly [Dual Training]!
“The grand master has really pa.s.sed a good thing to me! Since this is the case…” Seeing Chen Rui’s lewd gaze, Athena reacted very quickly, and she dodged his demon claws. As a result, the little maid became a scapegoat, and she was directly caught.
“This is a serious matter to increase power… Hehe, let’s continue to work hard…” Chen Rui grabbed Kia’s waist, and he “conveniently” touched her large booty. The succubus maid softened, and she “followed the flow” and fell into his arms.
“Master, how do you want to work hard? Or how do you want me to work hard with you?” The little demon girl winked her eyes, and even her voice became very seductive. Her body wriggled cooperatively as though she allowed him to do anything to her, making a man more excited.
Athena’s cheeks were burning while watching them. In this regard, she couldn’t catch up with the succubus maid despite trying. She bit her lip and said, “You two work hard, I have something else to do.”
At this moment, the little maid did not follow the steps of the main wife. Instead, she pushed Chen Rui playfully, and Chen Rui caught up with Athena and hugged her. He carried Athena on his shoulders, and he walked toward the bedroom.
Athena screamed, and she punched him hard, but the so-called “hard” was nothing more than a flirty tickling.
“a.s.shole! Put me down…” Before struggling twice, the man suddenly stretched his hand toward the most sensitive part between her b.u.t.tocks. Her heart suddenly numbed, and her body softened.
The little maid hurried closer to Athena’s red ears, and she muttered a few words.
A certain guy listened carefully, but he only heard words like, “Extract everything… lest… other women…” Athena hesitated for a moment, and her face flushed. She finally didn’t struggle anymore. She just fiercely bite Chen Rui.
Chen Rui laughed heartily. He carried Athena while holding Kia’s hand, and he strided into the bedroom.
The 2 moons gradually turned purple, s.h.i.+ning the charming moonlight. The leisurely day of the sir financial officer was about to end again.
This [Dual Training] seemed to be another version of the arts of bedroom/ dual cultivation in the Wuxia World…
