Chapter 253: Moved
‘I want to share the wonders of the world with you, to travel through rivers and mountains with you…’
These words touched Hathaway’s heart. Her eyes instantly became moist, and her face was filled with happiness.
She was willing to accompany him for the rest of her life, even if it was an ordinary life.
“Alright…”
After a long time, the moved Hathaway replied with a single word.
“In that case, let’s go and say goodbye to the others tomorrow.” Locke disposed the trash on the table and helped Hathaway back to bed.
It was Hathaway’s first time yesterday. Her lower body was in pain, and it would probably take a few days to recover.
So, Locke planned to leave a few days later. After all, they were in no hurry.
After the uneventful evening, Locke pulled Hathaway back to work that night.
This night, Hathaway was very cooperative. She had learned a lot from the previous night’s sessions.
Hathaway’s movements were no longer awkward, and she was very skilled at pandering to Locke.
Locke only needed to pat her soft b.u.t.tocks, and she would know what to do immediately.
It was destined to be a sleepless night, and pa.s.sion constantly rippled through the room.
By the time they had tired out, it was already in the dead of the night.
The next morning, Locke got up early and said goodbye to his other friends. He also told them about Hathaway’s decision.
“AH, Congratulations!”
“A hundred years of bliss!”
“Have a baby soon!”
No one showed any surprise at the news. It was as if they knew that it would happen, and they did not show the slightest trace of enthusiasm.
“Thank you for taking care of us. We’ll meet again in the future. Let’s drink all night when the time comes. We won’t go back until we’re drunk!”
After saying this, Locke said goodbye to his old friends.
The world outside was so big. It was unknown whether they would see each other again in the future.
After saying goodbye to his friends, Locke carried his breakfast to the hotel.
Hathaway had already woken up and was taking care of her clothes.
They were both people with mana and could recover quickly after exhaustion. Sleep was not that important to them.
Hathaway had recovered very well. She was no longer limping.
After breakfast, the two returned to their residences and packed their things. Then, they met at the Water City main gate.
“Where are we going, darling?”
Hathaway looked at Locke lovingly and asked.
“Everywhere, I guess? We’re travelling around the world after all.” Locke revealed a gentle smile and said.
Following that, he summoned his dragon to carry both of them into the air.
A celestial couple was wandering in the sky.
Sitting atop the Golden Dragon, Locke had a panoramic view of the scenery below. From the long rivers below, to the mountains that towered into the clouds…
Hathaway rested her head on Locke’s shoulder and said softly, “How many children do you think we will have in the future?”
Locke gently stroked her hair and said with a smile, “There will be a lot, at least… a hundred.”
“Pfft!” Hearing her lover’s answer, Hathaway could not help but chuckle, “Do you think I’m a sow? How can I have so many children?”
“I have good stamina. I’ll make it happen,” Locke joked.
With his stamina, as long as Hathaway could keep up, he could do it fifteen times a day. No matter how low the fertility rate was, it would be enough to give birth for a hundred years a year.
Mana had the effect of prolonging one’s life. People who cultivated mana could live for at least a hundred and fifty years.
Moreover, Locke and Hathaway were very strong. The amount of mana they possessed was shocking. Living for a thousand years was not a problem. A hundred years was only a very short part of their lives.
“You…”
Hathaway recalled the madness from the previous two nights. She immediately blushed and lowered her head, not saying anything.
In fact, she did not understand why she, a person who was usually very reserved, would act so crazily in bed.
Her face flushed red whenever she recalled the scenes from those two nights. Her heart burned with embarra.s.sment.
“Haha.”
Looking at Hathaway’s shy and peach-like face, Locke laughed and pulled her into his arms. He stopped teasing her and looked at the misty clouds in front of him.
They would spend a long time together.
On this day, Locke accompanied Hathaway and witnessed many beautiful sceneries.
There were mountains that looked straight out of fairytales, lakes that were as clear as a mirror, and ancient forests that seemed to be from a primitive era…
By the time the sun had set, the two of them spotted a city.
“There’s a city right ahead. Let’s rest there tonight.”
Hathaway used the map to confirm their location and said.
“Okay.” Locke replied and signaled for his Golden Dragon to start descending.
They landed not far from the mountain city.
Locke kept the dragon back into his System s.p.a.ce.
During the last two days, the System had a small upgrade and received a new function.
It was a pocket dimension that could accommodate Battle Beasts.
Upon entering the pocket dimension, the Battle Beasts can manipulate their environment according to their preferences. They would no longer feel lonely or bored.
Moreover, the most important point was that other experts could no longer detect the number of Battle Beasts in Locke’s possession.
By doing so, Locke could lower his opponent’s guard, and it would enable Locke to achieve unexpected results once he goes on the offensive.
After putting away his dragon, Locke and Hathaway walked side by side to the mountain city’s main gate.
“Hurry up, the city gates are about to close.”
The guards saw the two of them and immediately shouted.
The rules of each city were different, and some cities would not close their gates at night.
Locke and Hathaway quickened their steps and quickly arrived in front of the guards.
“What are your names? What is your purpose in coming to the Mountain City?”
The guard captain looked at the two of them and took out a book to register them.
Locke thought that this was part of the Mountain City’s rules, and thus he did not ask further and replied, “Locke, traveling.”
Then, he said on behalf of his wife, “This is my wife, Hathaway.”
The guard nodded and carefully recorded the information.
A moment later, the guard put down his pen and waved at the people behind him, saying, “That’s enough. You can enter.”
“Thank you.” Locke politely thanked them and held Hathaway’s hand as they entered the city.
After the two left, and after ensuring that no one else was coming, the captain immediately shouted: “Close the city gates!”
“Yes!”
The guards replied loudly.
“Ka Ka Ka”
Several people worked together to push the huge city gates, making ear piercing sounds.
The moment the sun set, the city gate was tightly shut. One could not see anything inside the mountain city from the outside.
“Captain, you never close the city gate before. Why are you closing the city gate today?”
After the guards closed the city gate, one of the lackeys asked curiously.
“Don’t ask me, because I do not know either. This is an order from the higher-ups.” The captain replied casually.
“Hey, rumor has it that there are a lot of strange things occurring in these past two days. It seems that there are many Daemons roaming around. Could it be because of that?” One of the lackeys asked cautiously.
