Chapter 40 – You are a free bird 6/10
Stepping out of the workshop, Xia Ya was contemplating how to turn this shop into an all-purpose logistics headquarters when he suddenly felt like he was playing a game.
Investment, output. Items, currency. Stronger equipment, stronger monsters.
From chopping small lobsters with a wooden sword to slashing the ultimate invincible cosmic overlord lobster with a fully enchanted legendary holy sword.
Suddenly, it felt like playing a game.
So this is what a game is.
A moment of clarity, yet a bit of confusion.
Xia Ya was lost in thought when Yveline suddenly appeared in front of him, and they almost collided.
"What’s in the drawer?"
The Dark Elf's words pulled Xia Ya back from his gaming mindset.
He saw her exquisite face up close.
Long eyelashes and purple eyes.
Lively, curious eyes.
And lips that looked so soft, moist, and full, with a beautiful shape that also revealed her stubbornness and strength.
So...
What is this?
If that was a game, then what is this?
Xia Ya suddenly leaned in and captured Yveline's lips.
It was like biting into a warm pudding, the soft, smooth elasticity sending a real sensation back to his brain.
More real than the game.
As if it were real life.
Yveline, caught off guard, quickly pushed him away.
But when she met Xia Ya's eyes, she was stunned.
His gaze was like a vibrant spring, continuously overflowing with love and satisfaction.
The complaints that were about to escape her lips vanished.
"Sorry... couldn't resist, haha..."
Xia Ya apologized with a smile, ready to dodge her anger, but Yveline suddenly hugged him and kissed him back.
This time, it was Xia Ya who was caught off guard.
For the first time, he miscalculated.
He was prepared to pay for his impulsiveness, but Yveline wasn't angry; instead, she responded more passionately, leaving him at a loss.
Before Xia Ya could react, Yveline pushed him away.
The Dark Elf wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
"We're even."
She turned and walked away with a spring in her step.
For the costume festival, Xia Ya had prepared a dancer's outfit for the Dark Elf, with delicate copper rings hanging from her waist, arms, and neck, jingling as she walked, like a nimble nightingale.
The bird turned abruptly, urging, "Hurry up and follow me!"
Then she joyfully darted into the bustling crowd.
Xia Ya chuckled and quickly followed.
...
"What exactly is in the drawer? It looked like a knotted rope..."
Yveline asked curiously while glancing around.
The bustling crowd was flanked by market vendors, their stalls filled with trinkets that were useless to the Dark Elf but incredibly novel. Since leaving Andarheim, she hadn't seen such a lively scene.
She spotted a wide-eared fox dancer selling lingerie and suddenly remembered what she had seen in the drawer.
"Look, look, that thing over there is just like the rope!"
"That's called a thong," Xia Ya explained.
"Pan... pants?"
"Yes, pants."
The Dark Elf's face turned red, though her dark skin made it less noticeable.
"Why would a leatherworker have something like that? Can men wear it too..."
"That's for women, and he stole it."
"Huh?"
"Half a month ago, Gani replaced Mrs. Laurent's leather sofa and stole a thong when she wasn't looking. He thought it was Mrs. Laurent's and fantasized about it for half a month."
"And it actually belongs to..."
"Felix."
Yveline turned in surprise.
"Felix??? A man wearing it?"
"Don't get it wrong, that fat guy doesn't have a cross-dressing fetish. He bought it as a gift for Mrs. Laurent, but she didn't like it."
"Then why keep it?"
This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".
"She said she likes to see others wear it, like you said, 'men wearing it.' This is one of Felix's rare 'positive' black marks, so I won't use it against him," Xia Ya laughed. "Gani would never guess he was fantasizing over a thong worn by a man for half a month."
The elf giggled, her gaze lingering on the rack full of lingerie for a few seconds before suddenly raising her hand.
"Xia Ya, I want to buy that!"
"Huh???"
Xia Ya stopped in shock.
"You don't mean you want me to wear it, do you?"
"Oh~ what if I want to wear it?"
The Dark Elf's eyes were seductive, her breath hot as fire. With her charm at full force, Xia Ya was also taken aback.
Yveline's body had long been modeled in his mind, and if paired with those...
"Buy it for me~"
"Buy! Not buying would be inhuman!"
...
In Astan City during the costume festival, the lights were just coming on, and the noise was deafening.
Xia Ya was dragged around by Yveline from dusk till late at night, making a full circle around the city and buying a pile of things.
The Dark Elf had never been so free and indulgent, like a chirping bird, asking questions from start to finish. Xia Ya, who could take on all the scholars, answered fluently, leaving nothing unsaid.
Whatever he said, Yveline listened intently, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction and tranquility, as if past hardships had left no mark on her.
Neither of them noticed the passage of time until late at night when they returned to the inn hand in hand.
As they passed a dark alley, Yveline stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Ya was curious why she stopped, but then the Dark Elf pushed him inside, pinning him against the wall.
Her hot breath was on his face, her actions clumsy and a bit rough. After a brief shock, Xia Ya held her hips with both hands, gently guiding her to vent her restlessness.
After a long while, their lips parted.
"If you want it now, I can give it to you."
In the darkness, her purple eyes glowed faintly.
Even though she was looking up at Xia Ya, it felt like she was looking down on him.
Xia Ya shook his head.
"It's not the right time yet."
"Offer expires soon."
Xia Ya smiled confidently, saying nothing.
"I'm serious, you really won't regret it?"
Xia Ya shrugged.
At that moment, a rustling sound came from the other end of the alley, and he turned to see a few figures under the streetlight.
Tsk, some clueless ones have arrived.
It was a group of drunken fools, pushing each other as they stumbled in like sharks smelling blood.
In the deep alley, the scent of the Dark Elf's desire was like the most lethal poison, intoxicatingly intense.
Hmm, didn't account for this.
Since Lef appeared, everything that happened during this costume festival was beyond his control.
He didn't want to control it either.
Fortunately, he got to see a whole new side of Yveline.
She wasn't a cold line of code, not a program, but a living person who couldn't be fathomed even after a hundred cycles.
This is what it means to be human...
"Yveline..." Xia Ya said.
"Disgusting."
Xia Ya chuckled, ignoring her complaint, and insisted, "See those people approaching? With your level 14 spell slots, preparing 'Arcane Energy Thrust' and 'Sulfur Fireball' shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Yveline frowned.
"This is Astan City, are you sure you want me to use spells?"
"Remember, Yveline, you're free, there's nothing you can't do."
Xia Ya laughed, raising his hand to release a slick of oil, instantly covering the approaching drunks.
The Dark Elf understood, raising her hand to unleash thrusts and flames.
In an instant, the blazing fire illuminated the alley.
