Chapter 463: Chapter 401: How About Considering John? (Bonus Chapter Asking for Monthly Votes)
The Dark Maiden stood on her mount, looking at Lin Ke.
That Dazed Beast looked really absent-minded, while the Dark Maiden also seemed expressionless.
But there was clearly a hint of pain in the Dazed Beast’s eyes, because the Dark Maiden was desperately pinching its ear!
"You guys can mess around, but why in my stomach?" The Dark Maiden looked seriously at Lin Ke and Xiangnai, making the two feel awkward.
"It’s not what you think... Besides, we didn’t know it was your stomach." Lin Ke scratched his head, feeling so embarrassed that his toes could dig out an abyss, nine hundred and ninety-nine layers deep, hundred more than Gula’s abyss.
"You guys have been messing around for the past two days, I’ve been out fighting, it’s really tiring." The Dark Maiden said with a straight face, Lin Ke and Xiangnai felt like scolded students beside her.
But...
"Wait, shouldn’t your focus be..." Lin Ke suddenly felt something was off.
This Dark Sister, her focus seems a bit off?
"Focus on what? You’re quite good at messing around? You have stamina?" The Dark Maiden wondered, "But I’ve noticed, Luca’s Butterfly Demon and Frell’s Deep Sea Giant Whale both last longer than you."
"It’s not..." Lin Ke couldn’t quite grasp the Dark Maiden’s thought process.
"...And makes a bigger commotion than you." The Dark Maiden added.
Lin Ke: (ㅍ_ㅍ)
I don’t believe it!
Phooey, phooey, phooey.
Is now really the time to talk about this?
"Aren’t you afraid of Rica being upset?" Lin Ke was puzzled, logically speaking, Rica is the apple of all princes and princesses’ eyes, and the Dark Princess is someone who cares for Rica.
"Why would she be upset?" Now it was the Dark Maiden’s turn to not understand, "Why are we talking about Rica? I’m talking about you messing around in my stomach."
Lin Ke was dumbfounded.
"Her Highness Benadonna Gula." It was Xiangnai who spoke this time, "May I ask how we can compensate for your loss?"
Lin Ke could joke around with the Dark Maiden like that, since they were of the same generation, Lin Ke was at least on the same level as the Dark Maiden.
However, for Xiangnai, the Dark Maiden was a powerful deity. As a newly ascended god, Xiangnai should respect the Dark Maiden.
"Compensation?" The Dark Maiden paused, then said to Xiangnai, "Ten thousand fanatical followers’ faith power for a month, the refined kind."
Xiangnai: "Alright."
A simple request, considering Xiangnai was already a deity, even if they were just a demigod, they could still accomplish it, given that they even had a medium-sized plane under their name.
"I’ll send you back." The Dark Maiden waved gently with her scythe, wrapping Lin Ke and Xiangnai in darkness, returning them to Naseng.
...
In Lin Ke’s villa.
Rica was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a book titled "Tormenting Romance: Viscount Colton and His Overbearing Male Butler."
She was delightfully engrossed in the book, her face cheeks flushed, not sure if it was hot or what.
When Lin Ke and Xiangnai appeared in the living room with the Dark Maiden, Rica was startled.
She quickly stuffed the book into her Space Ring at her fastest speed, stood up blushing, and glanced at Lin Ke and the others with a dodging gaze, "Cough, back already?"
But soon, she realized Lin Ke and the others’ expressions were somewhat strange.
Suspicious...
Rica decided to strike first, loudly asking, "What’s going on? What’s going on?!"
Lin Ke: ?
He was too familiar with Rica.
Rica was... feeling guilty?
Feeling guilty for some nonsense?
Lin Ke was at a loss.
But Xiangnai wasn’t as familiar with Rica, so she immediately panicked, "I... I’m becoming a god... a lot of water... Star Realm turbulence charging at me... selling fruits... exploring truth... I..."
In her panic, Xiangnai didn’t know what she was saying.
Lin Ke took a deep breath, looked at the Dark Maiden, indicating her to leave, he wanted to confess.
"Why are you looking at me?" The Dark Maiden was puzzled.
"Uh, please leave for a moment, thank you, I need to discuss family matters." Lin Ke felt that the Dark Maiden’s thought process was different from regular people, which he could tolerate.
"Oh." The Dark Maiden immediately stepped out, but stood still at the villa’s doorway.
Lin Ke: ...
Does it make any difference whether a high-level deity stands at a five hundred meter range or at a five centimeter range?
Seeing Lin Ke about to speak, Rica, who was now flustered by Xiangnai, had a headache.
"Hey Lin Ke! What is Xiangnai up to? Did she get hit by some legendary curse?" Rica was helpless, "Don’t mind the Dark Maiden, she’s just a peeping maniac, often hiding in the dark and spying, if you go on, she’ll go invisible and you won’t see her."
Hearing this, Lin Ke no longer cared about the Dark Maiden, but solemnly approached Rica, held her shoulders, and looked right into her eyes.
Seeing this, Xiangnai on the side couldn’t help but her gaze darkening, even her divine might showed signs of souring.
Meanwhile, outside the door, the Dark Maiden widened her eyes and stared at the door, seemingly seeing inside through the door, and she summoned her companion, the Dazed Beast, to watch with her.
"Ha, ha, ha?" The Dazed Beast softly hummed to the Dark Maiden, seemingly speaking.
"Mmm, haven’t seen for a long time." The Dark Maiden nodded.
"Ha, ha?"
"Yes, I haven’t absorbed it, I left it in my stomach for the two of them to absorb."
"Ha, ha."
"Otherwise? Surely I wouldn’t absorb the poisonous gas and then find someone to mate with, would I?"
"Ha..."
"Never mind, I’ll slowly eliminate the remaining traces of the poisonous gas myself."
"Ha, ha, ha."
"Aiya, stop asking! Not watching then leave!"
"Ha."
...
The Dark Maiden quietly conversed with her mount, their voices blocked by the barrier she raised, unable to be heard outside.
However, there was an almost imperceptible blush on the Dark Maiden’s face, and images of Lin Ke with Xiangnai exploring biological truths in her stomach flashed through her mind.
Thinking of Lin Ke’s boldness in charging forward during that time, her face turned even redder: "Annoying, other people’s mount is a goddess, while you’re a hippo making noises." Then she immediately recalled her mount.
At this point, Lin Ke, who was staring at Rica, prepared to speak, "Rica, I love you, I..."
"Did you and Xiangnai, uh-huh uh-huh?" Rica smacked her lips.
Lin Ke was shocked, and immediately realized that Rica knew.
So he hurriedly said, "Yes, but there is a reason for this..."
"Yay, you finally blossomed, by the way, have you thought about trying a guy? I think John is quite good..." Rica’s eyes were suddenly filled with curiosity.
"...I know, this is not a reason, but listen to me, not an excuse, hear me out, I promise, I declare, I pledge, I..." Lin Ke continued speaking, but was suddenly dumbstruck.
"You... you, you, you..." Lin Ke widened his eyes staring at Rica.
In Rica’s green eyes, there wasn’t a hint of blame or sadness, instead, pure innocence and laughter shone.
"Oh my gosh, I was always afraid my husband would be a Cusb Needle Tree-man, mating once every five hundred years, thankfully, thankfully..." Rica patted Lin Ke’s shoulder:
"Since you’re normal, then I’m relieved, although, the only regret... By the way, have you really not considered John?"
