Chapter 318 - Birthday
Finally, Chen Rui finished his day escort work with great difficulty. He felt a particular kind of exhaustion. Sometimes, it felt harder to face Alice than the first sage of Demon Realm.
Although he was very tired as some eccentric details appeared endlessly in between, it was still pretty worthwhile to see the pure and cheerful smile on the little loli’s face. It might take a long time to see this cute face again.
The time before leaving was always very fast. The sheriff house which seemed very quiet on the surface was actually very lively tonight. In the courtyard, Chen Rui, Paglio, Roman, Delia, Kia and Alice gathered together. Dodo and the little black horse were also there, but the main character tonight was Athena.
“Let’s have a toast with Athena!” The little loli raised her glass high.
The people stood up together and raised their glasses to Athena. Due to her height, the little loli had only one hand left to raise the cup, but the girl immediately stood on the stool and seemed to be a bit higher than the rest. No one would blame her, nor did Chen Rui prevent her from drinking as he usually would, because today was Athena’s birthday.
The yard was filled with the aroma of various foods. The sizzling sound of the oil dripping from the barbecue on the charcoal made people salivate, and some were done directly on an iron plate. In addition to meat, there were vegetables and fish. The food that Chen Rui called “Teppanyaki” was “revealed” for the first time in Demon Realm, and the people were full of praise. Barbecue was just one of the delicacies today. For this sumptuous dinner, Chen Rui had made a special preparation for two days.
The environment was the best to train people. In fact, he was originally an otaku who was able to take care of himself, but he barely knew how to cook. After coming to the Demon Realm, he passed a series of events of “honing”, besides warriors, mechanical master, magician and such, the chef could also be regarded as one of his “professions” too.
The laughter and merry atmosphere reminded Chen Rui of the time when he was in college where he was celebrating his birthday with three or five friends in the small restaurant near their college. A few bottles of beer, a few snacks, and a few barbecues were a sumptuous meal. At that time, there were several close single “gay friends” buddies. Now, the hand in his palm was so gentle and “real”. This was the most important woman in his life who was irreplaceable. Even the first beauty of Demon Realm in the Dark Shadow Empire or the charming succubus maid beside him couldn’t replace her.
Athena also recalled a scene where her father celebrated her birthday at Warlock Fortress. The difference was that there were only a dozen aunties and her father at that time, but now, although her most respected and beloved man was not around, there were so many true friends with her. Most importantly, there is him. (Thank you Demon God for bringing him to me.)
“Athena, you should cut the cake.” Alice’s voice interrupted Chen Rui and Athena’s reminiscence. Although she had been pigging out, the little loli still did not give up her craving for the three layer giant cake in the center. At that moment, she forgot the caution someone told her that “eating too much dessert will make you fat”.
Chen Rui lit the twenty candles on the cake. At this moment, the flashing warm candlelight was no dimmer than the purple glow of the moon in the sky.
Athena glanced at the friends around her, and then at Chen Rui. The crystal light gleamed in her eyes, and she blew the candle gently. Then, she closed her eyes and made a wish.
Everyone already knew the meaning of this “rule” during Alice’s “fake birthday” previously. When Athena opened her eyes, Alice could not help but asked, “Athena, what did you wish for?”
Alice knew that she asked a little rashly. For example, the last time she went on an outing, she made a small secret wish. As for Athena, it must undoubtedly be related to that guy.
“My wish is to be with everyone forever.”
This was Athena.
Delia looked at Roman and the two smiled at each other, holding their hands together lightly. This time, Demon God finally opened his left and right eyes at the same time.
Paglio’s wine glass took a slight pause before he tilted his head to drink again. It was the same bottle of wine, but this glass felt particularly warm in his belly.
“Athena!” Alice hugged her best friend tightly. Tears were streaming down her face.
Kia was in awe, but she was relieved that she also slowly became a member of “everyone”. (Mom, did you see it?)
Chen Rui looked at his beloved woman with a smile with deep affection in his eyes, “This wish will be fulfilled. I will assure you that.”
It was already late at night when they finished partying. The crowd did not party all night, but left the time to Chen Rui and Athena in an understanding manner.
Chen Rui took Athena’s hand and walked upstairs. Although this kind of holding was already a very common intimate gesture for the two now, Athena still seemed a little flustered as if it was the first time she was held by him.
The first time should be in the black rainforest with the devil fruit. At that time, he took her and stepped through the dangerous Dragon Inscription traps step by step. That hand was so warm and assuring.
While Athena was lost in her thoughts, she had already come to the room. Watching Chen Rui quickly activating the soundproof magic circle outside and carefully closing the door, her face suddenly turned red. This guy seems to have prepared for it for a long time.
He had waited a long time for this day.
Chen Rui decorated everything before turning around, looking at Athena who was at a loss on the bedside. He smiled gently and came over. Athena lowered her head and dared not look at him.
In fact, both of them had been waiting for a long time for this moment, but when it really came, Athena still felt nervous. At the moment when he picked her up and placed her on the bed, Athena’s body was already tense.
“Well, don’t be so nervous. Let me take off your shoes first.”
“I… I will do it myself.” Athena flicked in a panic, and a small leather boot flew out violently, hitting the magic lamp on the opposite wall. With the power of a peak Demon King-level plus the quasi-legendary grade boots, the magic lamp shattered instantly.
“Ah… sorry…”
Chen Rui remembered that when he was not as powerful as her, she shyly and subconsciously smacked him on the opposite wall when he kissed her. As a result, Kia wickedly asked Slee to help demolish the wall, making Athena blush.
Her face was red again now, but it was so cute.
“Okay, listen.” Chen Rui laid on the bed and forcibly hugged Athena in his arms, “I think this kind of thing is not a program. Erm, I mean it is not a task to be accomplished. We don’t necessarily have to do something at some point. I just want to talk to you now.”
However, it seemed that there were many synonyms for this sentence, such as “remove the bra, I just want to see”, “I just put it outside and not inside”, and so on…
Chen Rui secretly added another sentence, “I will leave Dark Moon in a few days, and it will be hard for me to hear your voice.”
Athena’s body gradually relaxed, Yeah, he is leaving again soon. The stronger his power, the shorter the time we can be together. When he was still a weak man with no strength, he could accompany me every day. I still remember those wonderful stories he told at that time. Is this what my father said – the greater the power, the greater the responsibility?
“How long will you be gone this time?” Athena asked while leaning on his chest.
“I don’t know either.” Chen Rui stroked her hair, “This step is very important, but it must be inseparable from the military power if the Princess Royal wants to defeat Obsidian to take the throne. If this step can succeed, the impact should minimize Obsidian’s support and power.
This period of time is also very valuable to the Dark Moon. We must seize the time to recuperate and strengthen our power. We only need to delay a certain duration. The enemy’s loss is our gain. The winning rate should increase greatly when Princess Royal and Obsidian fight against each other. Of course, the plan will never catch up with changes, so I can’t guarantee the final outcome. ”
“You’re already amazing.” Athena’s eyes showed admiration, “Originally, Dark Moon was in a precarious and hopeless situation. With your hard work and planning, at least Princess Royal has the power to truly compete with Obsidian. No wonder my father is full of praise for your wisdom.”
Chen Rui smiled, “Of course, who am I? If I don’t have the ability, your father would have sliced and diced me long ago. How could I hug his beloved daughter like this?”
“It’s just cunning plus sweet talks.” Athena’s heart was sweet, “You have spared no effort on the Princess Royal’s matter. Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with her?”
“You’re doing it again. My relationship with her is lord and subordinate. What are you thinking?” Chen Rui added another sentence secretly, at most is holding her hand with arms around her shoulder while doing a few small dances.
It’s just a dance, but if this matter is divulged, everyone in the Dark Moon will definitely worship my extreme boldness.
“Hmph! Don’t treat me like a fool.” Athena snorted with dissatisfaction, “But I have said before, as long as you really have the ability to attract the Princess Royal, I will never mind.”
If you never mind it, why “investigate”? Chen Rui shook his head, “Don’t overthink about it, if my plan succeeds, she will eventually be the empress of the empire. I dare not court death. It’s better to keep my little life to be more intimate with my future female general for a few more years.”
“Who is your future female general?” Athena grabbed the bad hand that was doing naughty things on her chest. “Aren’t you recently hooked up passionately with your maid?”
“…” Chen Rui was speechless. These days Kia, who had recovered her seductive nature, exchanged flirty glances with him from time to time. It was like an illicit and passionate love affair, but it was Athena herself who offered to take Kia back previously…
In fact, the relationship between Kia and Athena was quite good. The maid’s humble attitude of following the lead of the heroine improved Delia’s, who was a little indignant initially, impression of her.
Athena looked up at Chen Rui and suddenly smiled, “This is what Delia taught me. I must first ring the alarm for you, lest you become a womanizer like a Roman.”
Chen Rui was secretly ashamed. Roman has been stared closely by Demon God’s right eye now, so he seems to be very “loyal.”
“Actually, as long as I know you are good to me, I don’t care about the rest.
While Athena said that, she let go of the clasped hands. The consequence of this acquiescence was that the fullness of the chest was grasped by someone. By the way, one palm was not enough to grasp one side.
When his fingertips twirled at the top of the plump, the blushed future female general gasped lightly. Although it was not the first time he had taken advantage of her like this, her whole body was roused and became soft every time. Fiery passion surged in her heart, and her body became piping hot.
“Can you change into a transformed look later?”
“Asshole… Is this some kind of dark humor?”
“Every look of Athena is mine” (Cunningly changing his words)
“Thud…” (Sure enough)
Chen Rui turned over and pressed Athena underneath. Soon, the female swordsman, whose eyes were blurred, was already naked by him. Speaking of it, this man had endured for a long time. Aside from the one with Christina at Silent Night Wetland that time, it was only officially the second time now… Of course, some other “solutions” from Athena and Kia were not included.
“It’s past 12 o’clock now. Will it really not affect you?” Chen Rui asked vaguely. Of course, his words were ambiguous because he was busy.
“En,” Athena bit her lip, and answered via her nose. She clasped his head and her shivering body twitched slightly while she endured waves of intense stimulation.
As long as she was over 20 years old, the Wales Family’s “automatic advancement” mutated bloodline would be activated. As for something… there was no need to wait until after advancement.
“……………”
“…”
“Wait… You and Kia really didn’t…”
(Didn’t you say you don’t mind?)
“Kia said that she won’t surpass you…”
This sentence made the woman who had been confused and engrossed in love to utterly abandon her last line of defense, leaving only a heavy gasp and a tempting low moan in the room.
At noon next day, the man and woman who went upstairs to complete some matter after the birthday celebration last night did not show up in the courtyard.
“Really? So aggressive?” Roman was a bit dumbfounded.
“Jealous? If you are capable, go and sign a symbiotic contract with a great dragon yourself.” Paglio said proudly.
Delia frowned. It is Athena’s first time. Chen Rui is too ignorant to cherish people.
When the night fell, Chen Rui walked down with a tired face.
“Sir leader, you are too powerful. One time for one day!” Roman walked over while looking at Chen Rui with endless admiration. “This is beyond the scope of the dragon power. There must be some secret technique. Sir leader, please teach me!”
“Screw secret technique. Athena automatically advanced last night! I have been helping her to stabilize her strength!” Chen Rui replied with frustration. He spoke to Delia who wanted to go up and visit Athena, “Don’t disturb her first, she’s in deep sleep. She can fully adapt to the power of the Great Demon King level after waking up.”
Honestly, it was Chen Rui who caused the “disaster”. The two had been very smooth and in complete harmony. Their body and mind were ecstatic. However, when Athena couldn’t resist someone’s persistent request and turned into her battle form. Perhaps because it was too “sexually pleasing”, unexpected signs of a breakthrough emerged.
Generally, breakthroughs were completed in the peak state, but because Athena’s physical condition was “poor” at the moment, Chen Rui did not dare to neglect. He carefully helped her to complete the transition of the advancement power, and she finally completed the advancement of the Great Demon King perfectly.
“It turns out that the leader is so pitiful. It reminds me of a story about kangaroos and frogs going to date beautiful women.”
“Tell me about it.” Paglio had been eavesdropping the updates in the distance and immediately asked.
“The frog and the kangaroo each dated a beautiful woman. The kangaroo finished its business quickly and heard the frog next door all night, One two three three hey! One two three three hey! The kangaroo expressed his envy, but the frog’s answer is, **, I couldn’t jump on the bed all night!”
“Get lost!” Delia’s voice had already sounded before anyone else.
What an ‘unfortunate’ advancement timing 🙁
