Chapter 334. Heart-Warming, Bone-Breaking Welcome
After wandering around the house for half an hour, Myne contemplated excuses to avoid a lot of scolding and beating, the cold winds of the silent night finally chilled his nostalgia and forced Myne back towards his home. By the time he arrived, it was already half past five.
To avoid disturbing Ted and his parent's sleep, Myne tiptoed silently across the garden and cautiously opened the main door. Unfortunately, his stealthy entrance has no effect. As he stepped inside, a small, white fist zoomed in towards his face.
BANG!
Caught off guard, Myne's nose was directly struck and started bleeding with a few creaks on bones. However, compared to the next attack, getting his nose broken seemed gentle. A kick, fierce and powerful in appearance, turned gentle as it neared its target, and could barely cause any harm, hit on his balls.
Although the pain wasn't severe, but for any normal man his balls are considered the most sensitive and vulnerable spot. Messing with it could mean an instant K.O., regardless of whether the attacker releases the water at the last moment.
Thud!
With the sound of an object falling, Myne, while clutching his balls, fell to the ground with wide eyes, completely forgetting about his broken, bleeding nose.
Aisha, barely containing her anger, climbed onto poor Myne and, without a word, began raining blows on his cheeks with her soft fists mercilessly. There is no way, who ask Myne to wander outside and play to be cool, after waking up instead of comforting his family members who were on the verge of mental and emotional collapse because of him?
Slap-slap-slap...
After unleashing a flurry of punches and breaking half of Myne's teeth, Aisha saw that he might pass out if she didn't stop, which would ruin her punishment. She switched tactics, and the loud slapping sounds echoed throughout the entire house.
"You bastard! Do you have any idea how worried we've been for you these past few months?" Aisha, carried away by emotion, hammered her fists on Myne's chest while trying to hold back her tears. She had no sympathy for him, nor did she want to hear his excuses. She just needed someone to vent her anger on.
If not for the fear of being easily swayed by Myne's sweet words if she let him speak, she might have started searching for her bow to give him a heavier beating.
"Every time you go somewhere alone, you put your life in danger for useless reasons. Do you really think we can't see it if you don't tell us?" Aisha grabbed Myne by his collar and punched him in the chest hard, sending him flying out of the house.
"Ahhh... Damn it! When did Aisha become so powerful..."
Bang!
Myne's thoughts were interrupted as suddenly a figure appeared beside him and kicked him hard on his waist. Myne, like a ragdoll, flew a few meters and crashed beside Ted's house. However, despite enduring a considerable beating, Myne dared not use his regeneration skill.
Who knew if it would work as fuel on the fire, and Aisha immediately went berserk state thinking that he was not going to die so let beat him more heavily?
Ted and his parents, who had previously shown a lot of affection, now dared not to move forward and help Myne, as there was a high possibility that they would also dragged into the muddy water. So, they wisely moved away from the battlefield and came to the entrance of the house, where Maya, Sylphy, Amy, Airy, and Waffle were watching the commotion.
Maya even took out something to eat so she could fully enjoy the drama.
However witnessing Aisha's relentless assault on Myne as if there were no tomorrow, Sylphy grappled with conflicting emotions. While a part of her craved to join Aisha and vent her anger as well, but other part of her hesitated since she knew that she was not as emotionally affected by Myne's disappearance as Aisha.
Most of the time, she locked herself in her room and hardly spoke to anyone like an annoying child, unlike Aisha, who was comforting everyone. So now, she remained uncertain, unsure whether to interrupt Aisha's passionate outburst or not.
"You have as much right on him as Aisha, maybe a little bit less, but not much of a difference. He is also your husband. You don't have to hold back. You should give him some beating so that next time he doesn't make any stupid mistakes and put his life in danger without thinking about consequences."
Just as Sylphy was about to give up with a heavy heart, thinking herself less important than Aisha, suddenly a hand appeared on her head. When she turned her head, she saw Maya patting her with a smile and encouraging her to contribute to Myne's disciplinary training as well.
With the newly found motivation and permission from her Mother-in-law, whom she admired quite a lot, especially after seeing her in that magical costume, hesitation in Sylphy's eyes was quickly replaced by burning determination. She hurriedly went inside the house, grabbed her wooden training sword, and rushed at Myne, ready to join hands with Aisha.
That day, Myne finally realized why most men only marry one woman, even if they have the charm and power to have many. After Sylphy teamed up with Aisha, Myne only saw the world spinning in front of his eyes as he continuously got tossed left and right like a ball by his two wives. He even forgot how many times he was hit or how many bones broke in his body before he lost consciousness again.
...
"Ahhh..."
"Ouch, ouch, please be gentle, it's hurting like hell," Cries of Myne could be heard from his house continuously. If not for the fact that most people knew him, and saw Amy and Airy working in the garden, they might have thought that someone was torturing him in his own house.
"Can you please, for God's sake, stop screaming like a little brat? If I hear your scream one more time, believe me, I'll throw you out of the window," Aisha yelled angrily at Myne, who was lying on the bed covered in bandages from head to toe. She was helping him put ointment on his face, which now looked no different than a pig with black panda eyes.
It was hard to believe there was once a handsome face that had made many girls wet with its charm.
"But you can use healing skills on me a little bit or let me use my own skill..."
"Don't even think about using magic to heal your injuries. This is the punishment for your deeds. Unless you want to get beaten to death again, just lay on the bed obediently and recover naturally, or wait until we forgive you and heal you ourselves."
Maya, who was drinking wine on the chair, spoke calmly with a smile, clearly enjoying seeing Myne suffering, blowing up Myne's fantasy of getting rid of pain quickly.
"Fine... As long as you guys are happy. Ouch, please be gentle, Aisha, otherwise my nose will start bleeding again. It took me a lot of effort to stop the bleeding..." Myne spoke meekly, but upon seeing Aisha's dangerous eyes, he wisely chose to shut up.
"Now, will you explain to us where you have been for the past few months? We had been looking for you everywhere but found no trace."
After Aisha finished patching Myne's wounds, Sylphy, unable to hold back any longer, jumped straight into the question. Beating Myne, with her heart content, a lot of negativity inside her slowly faded, gradually calming her down.
"Sigh, it's a long, horrific, painful story," Myne sighed heavily as he recalled the scary memories of the past few months. After taking a moment to organize his thoughts, he continued, "After I left for the Elves Kingdom, I met a friend who was going outside the kingdom. Since all of you refused to come along with me and the journey was long and boring, I invited her along with me.
Everything went smoothly until late evening while traveling through the forest towards a random town for the night stay..."
Myne paused, choosing his words carefully. None of them interrupted, though Aisha and Maya felt that the friend Myne was talking about was definitely not simple, let alone meeting coincidentally and joining him on the journey. After all, there weren't many coincidences in the world.
It's okay to meet randomly, but meeting at the moment he was going on a journey alone, and having the same destination, even after receiving so many clues they still couldn't understand, then they might as well let Myne become a perverted womanizer.
"Exhausted from the day's travel, we took a short nap. When I woke up, I found that we were near a town, but for some reason, I felt terribly off. Our surroundings were eerily silent, even though we were deep in the forest, as if it were completely dead, which shouldn't be possible. The sky was also abnormally dark, covered in a weird fog.
But I didn't think too much about it at first and came to the entrance of that unknown town.
"There was a festival underway in the town, however, I soon noticed something was wrong with the town, as well as the two guards at the entrance. And as you all know, I am very scared of mysterious and unknown things, especially at night.
So, not taking any risks, I ordered the driver to return to the forest, where I planned to help the driver set up camp, return home with my teleportation skill, and continue the journey the next day. But then I found that I couldn't use my teleportation skill at all. That was the first time I felt truly confused. Though I had a gut feeling I was in deep trouble, I forced myself to remain calm..."
