Chapter 341 The Young Ones Sure Are Bold
Ethan felt something sweet and wet entering his lips, making him lick it subconsciously.
A few seconds later, a soothing warmth washed over his body, making him sigh in comfort.
His eyes were too heavy to open, and even if he could open them, there was something covering them, which would prevent him from seeing anything.
Since that was the case, Ethan simply kept his eyes shut and enjoyed the sweet thing that he was tasting with his mouth, allowing his body to regain its strength.
As the minutes passed, his senses were getting sharper, allowing him to move his hands. But, just as he was about to remove the thing that was covering his eyes, a delicate hand held his wrist, stopping him mid-way.
“Don’t remove it just yet,” Emma whispered. “Just relax, Ethan. You’re not fully recovered yet. Don’t worry, I’m here for you.”
Hearing a familiar voice, the young man heeded the advice of his Promised One.
He no longer resisted and once again tasted the sweet thing that entered his lips.
Ethan didn’t know how much time had passed, but when he felt that he had enough strength to properly move his body, the eye mask covering his eyes disappeared.
“Are you feeling better, Ethan?” Emma asked as she carefully put on her eyeglasses. Her face was flushed, and her breathing was a little haggard.
He also noticed that she was no longer wearing her Witch Robe and that she had put it over his body like a blanket.
A few buttons of her school uniform were undone, vaguely revealing the line of her cleavage, making Ethan subconsciously swallow his saliva.
Among his lovers, Emma had the most developed body of them all.
No one knew that the standoffish Assistant Librarian hid an hourglass figure underneath her Witch Robe, which was more than enough to make the boys at the academy build a Fan Club for her.
If not for the fact that she went out of her way to make herself look like an unattractive geek, someone as beautiful as her would definitely attract a lot of attention from her peers.
Perhaps, seeing that the handsome young man liked what he was seeing, Emma even playfully unbuttoned one more button on her shirt, making Ethan lightly clear his throat.
“How long was I out?” Ethan asked as he looked at his surroundings. “This place looks… familiar?”
“You have been sleeping for four hours,” Emma replied. “And yes, this place is familiar since we are currently inside the Tree House.”
“What?” Ethan blinked in confusion as he personally covered Emma with her own Witch Robe. “Are we back in the academy?”
Emma shook her head. “The Tree House is a portable magic house that can be placed in any kind of tree, as long as that tree meets the requirements. This makes it very handy to carry, especially when going on a very long journey.
“There was a possibility that you might get kicked out of the Oswald Residence and be forced to sleep outside. Having considered this, I brought the Tree House with me, just in case that scenario happened. Fortunately, you were able to win the good graces of the ladies of the family, allowing you to have your own room.”
“I see.” Ethan nodded his head in understanding as he carefully buttoned Emma’s shirt one by one.
When he was done, he gave her right cheek a quick peck, making the latter blush.
“Thank you for always looking out for me,” Ethan stated. “But we have to go back now. I don’t want Chloe and Luna to get worried.”’
Emma nodded. “Mmm.”
She had already spent four hours with him, so she didn’t mind returning to the Oswald Residence.
The young lady knew that Ethan had spent the night inside Luna’s room to escape the scheme of Luna’s family members.
Truth be told, she wished that he had chosen to sleep in her room instead.
But she also knew that there was a chance that they would inspect her room, which was why Ethan decided to play it safe and stayed in Luna’s room, where Chloe was also sleeping.
After leaving the Tree House, Ethan rode with Emma on her flying broom and flew back to the Oswald Residence in less than fifteen minutes.
He had just dismounted from the flying broom when he found himself being hugged by two beautiful ladies, who both had worried looks on their faces.
“I’m sorry,” Ethan replied as he held Chloe and Luna close to him. “I made both of you worry.”
Despite the fact that the entire Oswald Family was looking at them, Ethan casually kissed the two ladies’ foreheads, making Philip shake his head helplessly.
“Hah… youth,” Philip said. “The young ones sure are bold.”
Rhea lightly tapped the ground with her walking stick, catching everyone’s attention.
“The winds are getting chilly, so why don’t we go inside the house to warm ourselves up?” Rhea proposed. “What do you think, Ethan?”
“I think it’s a great idea, Grandma,” Ethan replied with a smile.
He then followed the old lady while walking hand in hand with Chloe and Luna. This time, Bruce and the others no longer looked at him in disdain and contempt.
After fighting against Ethan, they had no choice but to admit that the young man had the strength to protect Luna from those who might wish to do her harm.
In short, they grudgingly approved of their relationship.
Once inside, Irene and Briana served everyone hot chocolate drinks and cookies. When everyone was feeling comfy, Rhea asked Ethan to tell them about his adventures in the Lands of Alastor.
They watched the battle through the crystal ball, so they also heard his speech. It made them quite touched, especially with how much emotion his voice carried.
Very few individuals had managed to return to the present after entering a Nexus and lived to tell the tale.
Of course, Ethan was more than happy to tell the story, omitting some parts that he believed would only cause problems in the future.
Philip especially loved the part where the Necromancer was laying a siege on the City of Zentris.
As one of the Knights of the Former King, he had experienced these kinds of battles as well.
This made his impression of Ethan improve by a notch, making him very fond of his future grandson-in-law, who had managed to rekindle the old spark that was still beating inside his old heart.
