Chapter 580 Molting Magic: The Secret to Intimate Pleasure Pt 1
The two of us said goodbye to Martha and left the clearing, Lexi linking her arm through mine as we made our way to the inn. She seemed more alert now, constantly looking around us, her eyes darting from side to side while she kept one hand on the hilt of her sword.
Once inside, however, she seemed to relax a little but then stopped me before I could head to my room.
"Do you think you can lock all the doors and windows so no one can get in?" She asked in a quiet but nervous voice, and I nodded.
Raising my hands, I used my magic to lock every entrance with a strength that was powerful enough to stop a train from getting into the building. An even bigger fluctuation of Primal Magic increased this power, and once I was done, I looked over to see an uneasy look on Lexi's face.
I asked her what was wrong, and she looked at me with a worried expression on her face.
Something was clearly bothering her, but it had only started after I had told her about Martha wanting to peel her scales off. That might have been a rough example, but it was clear from how she was acting now that she didn't think that would really happen.
"Do you really think that the demons will do what you said they would if they found me?" She said, and I nodded firmly.
"Yes, they would either turn you over to someone else or keep you themselves - either way, it would be incredibly dangerous. We need to be careful down here," I said, and Lexi nodded slowly, finally understanding the gravity of the situation.
"Sure, we should leave after we get a good night's sleep, just the two of us," Lexi said, but I snorted in disbelief and rolled my eyes.
"Good luck! You didn't listen to Tallia or me when we warned you about going off alone, so you have Martha tagging along whether we like it or not," I said, and Lexi's cheeks turned light blue with embarrassment.
"What?! You can't mean that?!" She exclaimed, and I merely nodded in amusement.
"Unfortunately, yes. Like it or not, she is going to be following you around like a lost puppy," I said, and Lexi groaned before giving a resigned smile.
"At least I have you to deal with all the shedding. My skin is starting to feel itchy from all the stress," she said, scratching at some dry and flaking skin. "I promise to take your advice more seriously from now on."
I smiled and pointed to the large stairs that we headed up until we found the bathing room. It was a massive steaming pool of hot water that I would have to switch out for acid after we left. I was more than excited to get in and relax, but I had to help Lexi shed some skin first.
"I normally just rub it with rocks or whatever I have at the time, but it always leaves my skin raw. I have had people try to help me before, but it is a long and slow undertaking," Lexi said shyly as she undressed, which she didn't seem shy about.
"I am in no hurry, but I ask that you stay out of the water for now. I can use your dried skin to make a lotion for you after, and it should help strengthen your new skin. This should give you more time between your molting, and if I help you each time, we can make stronger lotion. The only side-effect would be that your tail would become extremely glossy, but it will also make your tail more resistant to damage. All wins, in my opinion," I explained, and Lexi's face lit up.
"How did I not know about this?!" She asked with shock, and I chuckled as I got undressed.
"The fact that you aren't appalled by the idea is good, but I don't think the rest of your kind would feel the same way, or the other Lamia race that I lived with sure didn't. They thought it was wrong and gave me a whole list of reasons for it, but after I was able to convince a few to try it, I was able to show them how effective it was," I explained, but Lexi still seemed confused.
"So it was you that was made with lotion?" She asked, and I nodded. "But for what reason would you go so far? I mean, what did you have to gain from convincing them?"
"Gain? I just happened to spit out on an island in one of my lives that was full of them. I had been staying there and was about to leave, but I could figure out how to thank them. They had treated me very well, the ladies especially, but that was a given. So, before I took off, I made a point of helping them with the molting since that seemed to be the only thing that they might need help with," I explained, and Lexi nodded.
"I guess that makes sense, but it is rather honorable for you to do such a thing. Though you are a god, so I guess I am just giving you too little credit," She said, and I barked out a laugh as I walked closer to her.
"Most people do, so I don't hold it against you, but I might want to hold your body against mine if you know what I mean?" I asked with a wiggle of my eyebrows, and Lexi giggled, finally seeming to fully relax.
I carefully unwrapped Lexi's long snake tail, revealing her dry and flaky skin. With a combination of air magic and healing spells, I gently removed the damaged outer layer without damaging any healthy skin beneath. The process was slow and methodical; I had to be sure not to leave her vulnerable to infection or injury. As I carefully worked my magic, Lexi felt waves of pleasure wash over her body.
