Chapter 310: Dragon’s Blood Ceremony (1) Part II

PLOP

“HAAAA! This is what is called heaven.”

The sassy man let out a sound of delight right after he put himself in this outdoor hot tub. His stinky body was now cleansed off to be clean again. A small towel was placed on his head, and there was another one tied around his waist to cover an important part of him totally.

“It’s really nice to have a hot tub like this.” He said as he stretched his arms. “My sister insists that I build an outdoor tub at the guild as well. I didn’t want to do it at first, thinking that it might be a waste of money, but I’m reconsidering that right now. It really gives comfort like a rebirth.”

After that joyful voice that sounded relaxed ended, he leaned his back against the tub’s inner wall that was made of stone carefreely, making the other man without glasses who also had a towel covering his waist curl his lips up into a smile.

“That’s because you’re just back from using up your strength,”

“It could be, but it’s good bathing in a hot tub once in a while as well. To do something like this in the real world would totally never feel like this. Our hometown is a hot country. We need only cold water to splash on our bodies by the end of the day, or we’d probably die from heatstroke.”

Listening to that, Lex, who was having his chest revealed right now, laughed out loud.

“Well, you’re right.” He said agreeingly. “Moreover, our class’s hot tub is rich in minerals. Most ladies are interested in those minerals a lot because they’re believed to make skin glow like pearls. But well, it might be just a game, there’s still a system to upgrade our looks to be good-looking, too, right? And the minerals in the hot tub here are from the mouth of spring inside the Moonlight dungeon, you know. They also have many compounds from dragons as well, that’s why...”

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah, he was just going to let the man ramble.

At this rate, if he did not want to enjoy the bath right now, Wisana would have shoved the soap into Lex’s mouth, since that guy started talking about the minerals in the water without anyone asking,

But Wisana felt the most relaxed right now. It had been a while since he sat back like this. Even though there was an annoying guy sharing the tub with him, it was still not that bad at all...

Maybe when he was back at the camp, he had Maysa rush the process of building a hot spring, too. At first, he did not want to do it, because he was afraid that they could only build an all-gender bathroom with the budget they had. Of course, the first thing he was worried about was that the girls around him might be peeped on by the boys in the guild, or there could be an unexpected event occurring in the hot spring room, too...

But come to think of it again, if he separated the time of using it and hired a strict NPC to guard the door, that should be working. Apart from the fact that mineral water could help with healing wounds, dispelling curses, and restoring energy, it could also help fix the scars from battle as well.

And maybe...

There could be a moment like this happening, too...

Thinking about that, the cheeky one curled up a knowing smile.

In his mind, there was a fantasy appearing vividly about a good-looking man, which was him, who was sitting in a hot spring by himself, before the door swung open slowly. Following that, a slim girl with only a towel to cover her thrilling body curves walked toward him with a shy face.

Her skin was white fair like snow. Her grey eyes were darker than usual. Her plumped lips were pressing together, unsure about what she should say. She was fluttering in a way that benefited some cheeky man here somehow.

The fantasy Maysa was 50% sexier than usual, and this Maysa seemed more likely to be the first to start as well.

‘Can I join you in there?’

“Of course, babe!”

“Yes?”

It seemed like that man’s emotion got a little bit too excited. So, the tall one was leaning closer to Lex without realizing it, and he had his arm around the talkative one’s neck also.

And that was when he realized that he was fantasizing about something a bit too out of track. So, Wisana coughed aloud and moved away from Lex, leaving the other man tilting his head to the side, not understanding.

“Er, ...what was that about, Sir?” Lex asked consideringly.

“Nothing. I was just sleep talking...”

“Sleep talking? In a hot spring tub?”

“Yeah, I just told you that it was nothing!”

The one who just made himself look like a huge fool yelled to cover up the embarrassment, turning his face away in another direction. But the other one still did not understand the weird actions of this younger man anyway. However, Lex decided to not mind that, purposedly changing the subject grudgingly.

“Anyway, about the quest I sent you on, what kind of dragon did you steal an egg from?”

Lex asked casually and leaned back relaxedly as well.

“Sarquros.”

“Huh? Come again?”

The owner of the blue hair repeated the question because he did not get the answer so clearly the first time.

“Sarquros.”

This time Lex paused, holding his hand to pick his ear a couple of times.

“Excuse me. I think I got some water in my ears. What’s the dragon again?”

“I keep saying it’s freaking Sarquros!”

Lex went still like someone pressed his pause button. Those rust-colored eyes were staring at the man in front of them. And the one who was being stared at raised his eyebrows out of not understanding the other’s emotion. But when Wisana was about to ask, the talkative one was the one who yelled first.

“You’re saying it’s Sarquros, sir?!”

“Ouch, why the heck are you yelling? This is the bathroom. The sound is more echoing in here and it hurts my ears, you know?”

The sassy one said, rubbing his ears softly.

“W ...well, you said Sarquros. Is that true?” Lex bulged his eyes.

“Yeah, why? Sarquros’ egg is not acceptable for the quest or what?” Wisana asked, just in case.

“Yes, it is. There’s no problem at all.” Lex shook his head harshly. “I’m just wondering how you stole the egg of the 8th boss of the game without any scratch like this. ...What kind of a demon are you?”

“Not funny calling me a demon like that.” The demon snapped. “And who said I didn’t get any scratches? That dragon girl was so brutal, she even got my head cracked. But it was just a shallow wound, so it healed after putting my body in the water here.”

Listening to that, the head of the dragon master class was widening his eyes out of shock. ...This guy complained about his head getting cracked a little from countering the dragon, while other players would be bringing a whole army in and half of it got killed so typically. Like, come on.

But this guy stole an egg from Sarquros and walked out freely within a few hours?!

Thinking about this, Lex blew a sigh out of his mouth with a feeling that was hard to describe. It was a mixture of excitement, shock, and surprise. It was really accurate that some players normally called him “Emperor of Magic,” but there also were many players, who had seen this guy fighting right in front of their eyes, giving him another nickname as,

Berserker
