Chapter 492: Gift
Today was Princess Royal Shea’s birthday. Although there was no official celebration, the entire Dark Moon was still lively with a festive atmosphere.
All the shops were on sale today. The crowds in the streets and lanes were constantly flowing. The traffic was busy, and the street vendors could be heard everywhere.
“Beautiful madam, this is the latest ruby lipstick from the Dark Shadow Empire. It costs only 1 purple crystal coin. Come and get one.”
Like many street vendors, a dark goblin was trying his best to sell goods to a man and woman. The tall, black-haired woman had an extremely attractive body, but her appearance could only be regarded as ordinary. Nevertheless, the dark goblin still spared no effort to compliment her, only hoping that the middle-aged man at the side who looked like her partner could be generous.
“This is a green rose fragrant leaf. As long as you wear it, you can exude an intoxicating fragrance. I can give madam the best price, 70 white crystal coins will do.”
“Madam, please wait a minute. There is also a magical music windmill here. It’s 30 white crystal coins only. You can buy one for the children of the family…”
The man smiled slightly, “This windmill is fine, but 30 white crystal coins are too expensive. I can consider buying it with 2 white crystal coins.”
“Sir’s bargain is too much. If you buy my windmill from the next shop, it will cost at least 80 white crystal coins, and the price is not negotiable. How about this? Strangers the first time, friends the second. 29 white crystal coins, I can’t reduce it anymore.”
“There are some problems with the magic circle of your windmill. If I’m not mistaken, the music will be interrupted after about 10 minutes of rotation. Such a defective product still cost such a high price. If you don’t sell it for 3 white crystal coins, forget it. “
“…”
The tall woman was a little surprised as she watched the man and the street vendor bargain fiercely. Finally, the windmill was sold for 4 white crystal coins. The man fiddled with the windmill for a while, handed it to the woman, and held her hand.
The woman’s face turned red as she tried to break free, but she was held tightly.
The man chuckled, “What are you afraid of? You are Ashe now, right, my madam?”
The woman’s face turned redder, and she whispered, “b.a.s.t.a.r.d who takes advantage of the situation.” Seeing that the people around didn’t pay attention to them, she stopped struggling at the moment and let the man hold her in public. After walking for a while, it became natural.
The woman looked at the colorful windmill turning with the wind and said, “Alice will probably like this windmill.”
“No, this is for you. Today is your birthday.” The man laughed and said, “I have adjusted the magic circle. The music has been changed to your favorite serenade.”
A strange expression flashed in the woman’s purple eyes. She shook the windmill, and the windmill really produced a familiar music, but she could only hear it by listening carefully in such a busy market.
“Today is a good day, can you smile for me, pretty girl? Anyway, I just bought you a gift for a high price. Otherwise, give me the windmill!”
“Don’t even think about it!” The woman held the windmill in her hand tightly, but her face habitually became stern, “You deceived me to come out just to take advantage of me? I still have many doc.u.ments…”
The man shook his finger, “Let those d.a.m.n doc.u.ments go to h.e.l.l. Today you are not Princess Shea, but my Madam Ashe. Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry; don’t give me face.”
“You have fully demonstrated your honey-tongued talent, Sir Simon. I don’t know if I’m the first woman treated like this? Am I the tenth or even more?”
Sir Simon was a little embarra.s.sed. Ms. Ashe pinched the back of his hand hard, “Is it countable with both hands?”
“Yes! Yes!” Sir Simon was in pain, but he didn’t dare to resist. He quickly added, “I can count with just one hand!”
Ms. Ashe snorted in dissatisfaction, and she finally did not exert any more strength. Unknowingly, there was a bit more vitality on her face that she did not normally have. There was a commotion ahead. Chen Rui pulled the madam Royal Highness with the pseudonym Ashe as they squeezed in to take a look. It turned out that a battle ball compet.i.tion was about to be held. Both teams of the game were private teams that played in conjunction of the Princess Royal birthday. There were also prizes.
However, the 2 main forwards of the red team were unable to partic.i.p.ate in the game due to a leg injury from a small clash with the people in the tavern before the game. The read team had only one forward subst.i.tute and was currently worrying about candidates. Chen Rui recognized that the coach of the red team was his blacksmith shop friend, Zach, whom he had known previously. Suddenly he had an idea in his mind. He walked forward and claimed to be a friend of a human, whispered a few words, and stuffed a small pouch of money into his pocket. After a while, he finally nodded.
This way, Chen Rui succeeded in becoming the forward of the red team while Shea stood in the simple and crowded stands. As the starting whistle sounded, Chen Rui, who was dressed in red, began to perform. Although his skill was not very good and his strength was suppressed at the Intermediate Demon level, his eyesight and judgment were dozens of times better than others, let alone that simple gravity magic circle. When he saw the opportunity, he received a pa.s.s from his teammate and kicked in the air, but unfortunately it hit the goal post.
There was a moment of regret from the surrounding audience. Shea was able to remain calm at first, then she thought of Chen Rui’s phrase “Today you are Ashe.” Finally, she tried to let go of the closure of her heart and began to accept the atmosphere of the audience. She started to clap and cheer softly. This feeling was completely different from watching the game from the VIP seat of the arena. At that time, she was just watching the players of both sides chase back and forth while waiting for the end of the game. Now, she became a spectator who cared about the game. She had immersed into the stadium because the man was running on the field. Running for her!
Especially when Chen Rui kissed the “Dark Will” ring and pointed to the stand she was in after he scored a goal, Shea felt an unprecedented excitement and pride.
At the end of the game, the red team won by 5-2. Chen Rui, who scored a hat-trick, became the red team’s biggest contributor to the victory. This was even due to the result of restraining his strength. Seeing him running to her, Shea no longer had the habitual indifference on her face. She took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat with an admiring gaze. Chen Rui laughed and fled the stadium while hugging Shea. The people were whistling and applauding behind him.
If they didn’t run, Zach, the coach with bright eyes, would probably do everything possible to invite this super shooter to join the team.
After the intense ball game, Shea seemed to relax a little. She held hands with Chen Rui while walking freely down the street. They were shopping, eating snacks, and watching the excitement.
Shea suddenly had an illusion as if she had returned to her carefree childhood when she didn’t have to wear a mask, face tedious affairs, and shoulder the heavy pressure every day.
She had not had this precious feeling for a long time…
When Shea looked at the man who was talking and laughing, her purple eyes showed unconcealed tenderness. She held his arm tightly, and the expression on her face finally became richer. When she was happy, she smiled. When she was not happy, she would be a bit temperamental. No one would recognize her anyway.
In front of the tavern, Chen Rui pulled Shea sideways and turned around. It turned out that there was a beautiful girl in a black dress in front of her. She had a beautiful face, long legs, and her chest… Uh, a little flat.
The girl’s lovely nose suddenly twitched as if she smelled a familiar smell. She walked toward Chen Rui. Chen Rui felt this from the [a.n.a.lytical Eyes], and he had a bad omen. This chick’s sense of smell is very sensitive. It seems to be a special talent that is able to see through the transformation technique and [Camouflage]. Paglio, who was being stalked, is often busted by her talent.
If this chick noticed something abnormal today, it would be troublesome if she goes back and files a complaint. Chen Rui had an idea. His hand shook, and a black crystal coin was thrown on the ground in front of him. He deliberately said, “Who dropped the money? “
As soon as he said so, Ms. Black Dragon’s feet instantly stepped on the black crystal coin accurately, then the chick bent down calmly to tie her shoes. When she stood up, the black crystal coin was gone.
Her expression and movements were smooth and natural. She obviously… had practiced this before. Chen Rui’s forehead was sweating while watching her.
Ms. Black Dragon didn’t seem to give up after picking up the money. She continued to walk toward Chen Rui’s side. Chen Rui did not dare to stay any longer. He pulled Shea and walked forward quickly, then they just happened to b.u.mp into a familiar figure holding a wine bottle in the distance. He was flirting with 2 dark elf beauties.
“Ah, look, someone dropped another bag of money in front of that store.” Chen Rui pointed to Paglio and said.
Betraying friends is the way to go.
Ms. Black Dragon was already very close to Chen Rui. Hearing this voice, she immediately took a look in the direction someone was pointing. When she coincidentally saw the unlucky master in hanky-panky, her eyes suddenly lit up. A master keenly noticed the gaze in his direction. When he saw this chick, he was taken aback. As he was about to turn around and sneak away, Ms. Black Dragon had appeared in front of him and looked at the 2 dark elf beauties suspiciously.
Chen Rui took the opportunity to flee with Shea to the opposite direction. When he focused on listening, he heard Ms. Black Dragon’s questioning voice, “Where is the money bag?” It seemed that he was safe for a short time.
(Dead duck brother, you just sacrifice a bit. I will burn more for you during every festival…)
“What’s wrong? She seems to be the person you mentioned last time…” Shea asked curiously.
Chen Rui shrugged, “I’ll tell you when we are out of town later; it’s too dangerous here.”
After a while, there was a pair of man and woman flying in the air above the mountains in the outer suburbs, but it was a man flying with a woman on his back.
“Hey, my Madam Ashe, what are you doing?”
“Alice said that this flying posture called the t.i.tanic; I’m just trying it.”
“The last time Alice struck this pose was on a wyvern’s back. Did you, you, you, actually regard me as a demonic beast?”
In fact, Master Simon was enjoying it. He was having a wonderful feeling being pressed against by the two plumps.
“It’s your honor, Master Simon.” Shea smiled and said. Her straight arms maintained the flying posture at the shoulder height as she felt the wind. It really felt like flying freely. It was completely different from flying by herself.
If someone familiar saw her jubilant smile now, the person must think it was an illusion. Was this the Princess Royal Highness who was always cold like an iceberg?
“Keep me honored if you can!” Chen Rui laughed mischievously as his hand which was holding her grabbed on the elastic b.u.t.tocks. Before Shea could resist, [Sonic Boom] suddenly sounded, and they flew forward at high speed like a meteor.
Shea was caught off guard, and she quickly grabbed his neck. There was a small lake in front. Chen Rui plunged his head toward the lake. Shea was taken aback, but she did not let go.
Chen Rui did not plunge into the lake. He just took a turn and flew above the water like a bird. The air current drew circles of ripples on the calm lake. Chen Rui slowed down. He was almost flying on the surface of the water.
Shea leaned behind him and looked at the picturesque scenery around her. She felt that her state of mind was peaceful, extraordinarily comfortable, unrestrained, and without pressure. Her state of mind that had always been locked was completely released.
“I placed a magic circle around this area the day before yesterday. The outsiders can’t get in, so we can remove the disguise magic.”
“You prepared this the day before yesterday?” Shea smiled slightly. As the bracelet gleamed faintly, she turned back to that beautiful face, but the usual coldness had long disappeared.
“Can you swim?”
“A little bit, why?”
“Hehe…” Chen Rui suddenly lost the power to support and fell into the water. Shea was caught off guard and fell into the water together. She was about to swim away, only to find that the water was only at waist-level.
Chen Rui laughed out loud. He let go of her and fled to the sh.o.r.e. When Shea was chasing him, he turned back and hit the surface of the water. Numerous drops of water splashed on her face, and she immediately got wet.
Shea wiped her eyes and started to counterattack without showing any weakness. From time to time, the sound of the man and woman chasing and frolicking sounded from the lake. Sparkling waves were drawn by the stirred lake.
After a long time, the frolicking sound gradually lowered because the two chasing figures had overlapped.
Chen Rui was a little surprised because he was actually the pa.s.sive one this time. Princess Royal Highness actually took the initiative to kiss him! Is this real?!
Shea slowly loosened her arms around his neck, and her face was rosy. The crystal drops of water still hung on her damp golden hair. What was more zealous was that her soaked long skirt was tightly attached to her body. It could no longer cover the perfect curve inside. She was like a G.o.ddess under the lavender moonlight near dusk.
This wet body effect is too strong visually…
“Do I look good?” Shea asked at this moment, seemingly on purpose.
Chen Rui stuttered, “Good… you look good! The beauty of Princess Royal Highness can’t be described in sweet words…”
“Hmph! This is still sweet talk!” Shea’s face blushed, but she didn’t deliberately cover up her curvy body. “You brought me here just for some of your crooked thoughts, right? No wonder you started preparing 2 days in advance.”
“I’m innocent! I really just want you to have a happy day” Chen Rui lowered his head, and he took the advantage to peek at the Princess Royal Highness’s chest. The seductive gully was exposed. “Uh, some things are just accidents…”
“Fool.” Shea fell gently in his arms, “This is the best gift I have ever received. I’m really very happy. It has been a long, long time since I was so happy.”
Chen Rui hugged her and sighed softly, “Unfortunately, happiness is short-lived. Tomorrow the happy Madam Ashe will become Princess Shea wearing a mask again.”
“Happiness is more precious because it is short-lived, isn’t it?” Shea closed her eyes, “At least, I have the moment to take off the mask. I’m already satisfied; really satisfied, thank you.”
Chen Rui kissed her forehead and hugged her quietly.
“Can you not go back tonight?” Shea bit her lip and said softly.
Chen Rui was startled. Did I hear it correctly?
Feeling that the body in his arms started to get a little hot, someone was immediately burning with pa.s.sion.
“As u say, my Princess Royal Highness…”
He didn’t finish his sentence. The reason was very simple. His mouth was not free. He was kissed by Princess Royal Highness again.
Today the Princess Royal Highness is really proactive… No! How can a man be so pa.s.sive!
Under the purple moonlight, there seemed to be a wolf howling into the sky.
Hmmm, the progress of harem seems to be a little fast these day?…
