Chapter 199: Figure It Out Yourself
Angus’s timing was impeccable.
Not only did he save the frail mage, but all the surrounding humans were also killed by monsters in that instant. Of course, a few were “accidentally” injured by him.
As for why he chose to save this young girl instead of anyone else, it was merely due to the common aesthetic sense of a male giant dragon, even if he was currently a ghost dragon.
Furthermore, this was an excellent opportunity to gain favor.
A girl infatuated with him could better mask his strangeness and reduce others’ suspicion. It was a win-win situation, with guaranteed profits.
“Thank you, thank you, I don’t know how I can… how I can repay your kindness…”
Shirina shyly fiddled with the hem of her mage robe. Even with the bloody mess around her, she couldn’t suppress the fluttering of her heart.
She used a long sword and instantly killed so many Starfall Wolves; he must be a powerful knight.
Shirina simply didn’t understand knights.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have foolishly mistaken the power that froze the Starfall Wolves into ice sculptures for a knight’s Qi. She naively believed it was some kind of Frost Qi that naturally had such freezing properties.
In reality, what was wrapped around the long sword was merely Angus’s Frost Dragon Breath.
“Beautiful lady.”
Angus bowed slightly, performing a perfect knight’s salute. His long lifespan had granted him profound knowledge, and at this moment, he appeared even more elegant than a true noble.
“According to the third knight’s code, ‘We pity life, we save the weak,’ so this is all I should have done.”
Looking at the strong knight before her, who, despite a slightly pale complexion, exuded an imposing aura.
Shirina couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Indeed, the more outstanding people are, the more humble they are. Even with such immense strength, he maintained an innocent heart.
“No, you saved my life after all…”
Shirina looked around and realized that the adventurers and mercenaries escorting the merchant caravan were all dead. The sight of the fallen made her feel a pang of sadness, but at the same time, her gratitude towards the knight before her deepened.
“I want to repay your kindness, please ask for anything and I will do my best to help you within my capabilities.”
Shirina murmured, lowering her head.
Her pretty face flushed slightly.
Angus had encountered this situation countless times. A handsome appearance, formidable strength, plus a life-saving heroic deed – it was a fatal attraction for any woman.
From now on.
He would have complete control over this girl.
“Then… if you must repay me, take me to the nearest city. I’m not from here; I arrived by ship…”
“My family has fallen on hard times.”
Angus’s expression turned sorrowful. His formerly bright eyes dimmed instantly, as if a large hand had obscured the sun in a clear sky, plunging him into melancholy.
“The King, fearing my father’s threat to his rule, attacked my father and our family.”
“My father died on the city walls. Only I was secretly escorted away, and we encountered a storm at sea…”
He sighed, his voice filled with emotion.
“Finally, I survived by sheer luck due to my slightly superior strength.”
“But… everyone is dead. Now… I am alone.”
The man before her was enveloped in heavy sorrow.
Shirina, already harboring profound good feelings for her savior, felt a surge of maternal compassion. She couldn’t resist reaching out and hugging his waist. Her soft, small hands gently patted his back to comfort him.
Compared to the tall knight, she was too short. Otherwise, hugging his neck would have been more appropriate at this moment.
“Everything is in the past, sir. If you don’t mind, I can take you to a nearby city. Perhaps we… no, perhaps you can start a new life there.”
Shirina leaned against the knight’s strong chest, momentarily unsure if she was comforting the knight or he was comforting her.
This slight confusion made her blush with embarrassment again. She lowered her gaze and looked at her toes.
A maiden’s feelings are always poetic.
Her heart swelled with a bit more sweetness.
But she couldn’t see Angus’s cold eyes, nor his slightly upturned lips, nor hear his inner thoughts.
“Humans… I hope you enjoy the Undead Calamity prepared for you by His Majesty the Undead Emperor…”
“Keke…”
Angus softly stroked the girl’s delicate back.
In his deep, dark eyes.
Fierce glints flashed!
…
Winter Fort.
It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that Xi Wei finally finished his tasks.
All the system-bred units were now gathering at the city gate overnight. Tomorrow morning, he just needed to wait for the players to assemble, and he could march north.
He returned to his room, planning to get some sleep before dawn.
Although he was now a Champion Knight and theoretically didn’t need to sleep, sleeping was still a very enjoyable thing. Why not take a short nap amidst his busy schedule?
However, the moment he lay down on the bed and got under the covers, Xi Wei suddenly felt something was wrong.
The bed was warm!
Before he could react, a soft and fragrant body snuggled into his arms like a cat.
At the same time, a sweet and hot breath tickled his ear.
“Master, Loli has been waiting for you for a long time~”
Feeling the softness against his chest and the fragrance lingering at his nose, even in the pitch-black room, he could imagine Loli’s seductive and charming appearance.
He recalled Loli mentioning earlier that she wanted to research with him how to increase Winter City’s population.
Wasn’t this it?
Tired? Not a chance!
As a Champion Knight, sleeping was a waste of time, a waste of precious life!
The lion has awakened!
There was no need to wait. Xi Wei immediately flipped over, pinning the little maid in his arms beneath him.
“Dare to launch a surprise attack at night? Have you considered the consequences?”
“Hmm? My Loli, my treasure?”
He grinned and reached out to turn on the magic lamp. His pajamas slipped off halfway, revealing his well-built muscles, while the little maid’s tender body reflected a hazy glow in the dim light.
“Heehee, what consequences could there be?”
Loli wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, she actively wrapped her arms around Xi Wei’s neck, puckering her sweet red lips and pressing them against Xi Wei’s own.
Her two slender, smooth thighs wrapped around Xi Wei’s waist, and she clung to him like an octopus.
“Loli, this makes it inconvenient for me to undress…”
Xi Wei kissed the lips of the little beauty in his arms, his voice slightly muffled but laced with impatience. He was genuinely eager.
“I don’t care~”
Loli giggled, lightly bit Xi Wei’s ear, and then, with a breath like orchids, said:
“Master, you’ll have to figure it out yourself~”
