Chapter 273 - Catch Me If You Can
Damien was walking back home with Valentina with his hand around her slender waist, much to the envy and jealousy of others, while she was happily resting her head against his shoulder, enjoying his embrace.
If her fellow disciples saw the pure and doll-like smile on her face, they would really ask themselves if she really was the infamous Bloody Fairy who wouldn't hesitate to cripple a man.
Damien had already had some talks with Triton before regarding the number of times he had to take classes and came to a mutual agreement that he only had to visit twice there since he already teaches a lot of stuff with just one class.
With his teaching efficiency, one of his classes was worth a week's classes when compared to a normal teacher.
So, in Triton's perspective, he was more than satisfied with Damien coming twice a week.
Meanwhile, in his mind, he was mentally conversing with Luna, "So, what do you think about this whole gateway thing?"
Luna instantly replied, "Sounds more like a gateway to another higher plane or world...could be any one of them. Or maybe it just could be the world outside this barrier, but since they said the ethereal energy in that world seemed richer, I doubt whether it's really this world. This planet should have the same concentration of ethereal energy throughout except for slight variations in some places. Of course, if the ethereal energy concentration in this continent has been affected because of the barrier around it, then the case might be different."
After a brief pause, she continued, "We can only be sure once we enter that gateway for ourselves. But another pressing question is who put that gateway there? Those with an understanding of Spatial Laws can easily create a gateway, but how much distance they can over is another question. If it's just a gateway from one place to another in the same world, then even a false divinity can do it. But if it's between planes, then only gods can do that or a powerful artifact made by the gods."
Damien said in a thoughtful tone, "So if we assume it to be a different plane. Then who is creating this gateway even if they are using a treasure and why."
Luna shook her head, "Hmmm, on such a lowly planet, strange and inexplicable things are indeed happening. Maybe, the Xeton God knows something about this; otherwise, how else is a mere mortal able to predict when the gateway is going to open again. Someone must have told him something."
She continued in a serious tone, "If you want to get to the bottom of this, either you have to get the information out of her father or the god. But I guess that can wait till you come back from the gateway. Since they say one needs to spend one year inside that world, it would be almost time to make your final moves by the time you come back. You better be prepared to take some risks in case there are real chances of having fortuitous encounters in that world."
Damien smiled, "Of course, that's a given. It's not like I have a choice."
As soon as they reached inside their villa, Valentina quickly jumped out of his hold and giggled, "Come and catch me if you can, Damien."
Damien raised one of his brows, "Oh? My girl is in a mood for games, huh? Sure, I will play along. But what's in it for me?" He asked with a sly smile.
Valentina slowly walked back with a coy smile, and using her ethereal energy; she transmuted her dress into a sexy rose-colored bra and panties.
Since she had already studied the designs of all the clothes and lingerie she liked, she could easily create them on her own.
With a flirtatious smile and gaze, Valentina traced her fingers from her breasts and towards her hidden honeypot, "You will get to taste your favorite dish,"
Her words sounded extremely bewitching, as if those words came right out of a succubus.
Damien's throat instantly became dry, seeing her soft snowy boobs almost popping out from behind her tight sexy bra with no shoulder straps, and her enticing cleavage that made his heart race as if there wasn't enough blood in his body.
Of course, with his hardened will, he could resist such feelings if he wanted to. But before his woman, why would there be any need to restrain himself?
He would gladly let himself be seduced by her.
His eyes wantonly roamed all over her body as if appreciating an exotic piece of art. The longer he looked at her; the more his little dragon was transforming into its true form.
If an otherworldly beauty like her was standing half-naked before him with her exquisite skin in full display, how could he not get dazed? Other men wouldn't even in their dreams think that a devilish beauty like Valentina would act so coy and dress in such a sexy manner.
Damien felt proud of the fact that Valentina was his and his only. He was the only one who got to see this side of hers. He had no idea what kind of luck he accumulated in his previous life to deserve someone like her, but he didn't care.
Hearing her suggestive invitation, Damien teased, "More like you also want to taste your favorite dish, right?"
Valentina's face flushed, giving off a hypnotizing charm, thinking about his heavenly cock, and smiled impishly.
"Sure, catching a naughty kitty like you is my specialty," Damien said with an exploring gaze as he slowly moved towards her.
Beautiful, bright purple lightning streaks crackled around his body, making him look even more dashing.
"No cultivation allowed!" Valentina called out as she pursed her lips. She knew how monstrously fast Damien would be with his ethereal arts, and there really wouldn't be a game to play if he used his lightning speed.
Damien instantly stopped the flow of his ethereal energy and said in a jesting tone, "Oho...you want to hold the advantage by taking away mine. Sure...a challenge like this only makes it more exciting. But you also shouldn't use your senses as well. Better to hold your breath till I catch you."
Valentina nodded with a smile. She didn't seem to mind such restrictions and considered it fair since she put a rule on him as well.
Since Valentina had a more powerful body than him, she could easily outrun him, considering he didn't use his cultivation.
But to lay his claws on such an irresistible beauty, he wouldn't back down from such a seemingly tricky challenge.
"Run, kitty," Damien said with a devilish smile as he rushed towards her.
Valentina let out a melodious giggle as she quickly turned around and ran up the stairs towards the upper floor.
Damien tried his best to catch up to her by following her, but it seemed like she was putting more distance between him and her.
They both ran past the halls, passing by lots of rooms, and Valentina simply ran without turning back while holding her breath as well.
With her cultivation, she could go on without breathing for a while and wouldn't bother her in the slightest since the body mainly relied on one's ethereal energy for nourishment and other important processes in the body.
However, after a while, even without concentrating her senses, she couldn't hear Damien's steps behind her. She stopped before the main bedroom and looked around to see where Damien disappeared to.
But unbeknownst to her, in the balcony behind her, a figure dropped down stealthily without making the slightest of steps.
He had a grin on his face as he looked at the sexy gullible prey in front of him, trying to search for someone.
He crept towards her, trying his best not to give away any footsteps. Even though he told Valentina not to use her senses, he still didn't take any chances.
Seeing her half-exposed succulent butt, Damien couldn't help but almost swallow his saliva but didn't, to not give away the sound of gulping.
Valentina wanted to use her senses but didn't, to play it fair. But she was perplexed, thinking where Damien could have gone to. She wondered if he gave up, but that didn't seem like a possibility considering the face he made before trying to catch her.
"Ah!" Valentina cried out, startled as she felt two warm hands squeezing her slender boobs and a burst of devilish laughter from behind.
"Damien! How did you get here?" She asked in pure amazement as she twisted her head around to see the smug grin on his face.
Damien chuckled as he massaged her silky boobs, "You are too inexperienced to play such games with me, hehe. And now you can't escape but become my prey."
Valentina gulped, feeling his burning gaze, and her heart began to throb loudly in anticipation.
