NOVEL NEXT Chapter 237 Searching
Tyler had initially wanted to push Heloise away, but her strength was greater than he had anticipated.
Even more challenging was the fact that Heloise's soft and moist tongue, which was licking him, caused him to tingle all over, rendering him powerless.
Gradually, he had no choice but to let her have her way.
After an unknown amount of time, the milk on Tyler's body was licked clean, but he was completely wet with Heloise's saliva.
"Ah, the milk is truly delicious~" expressed Heloise contentedly as she moved away from Tyler.
Her actions were motivated half by the desire for the milk and half by the opportunity to tease Felix, to pay him back for ignoring her feminine charms these past few days.
Heloise returned to her seat and continued eating breakfast, glancing at Felix triumphantly, curious to see if her advances had elicited a "reaction" from him.
However, Felix maintained an indifferent expression, seemingly unfazed.
After sitting up, he nonchalantly removed his damp clothing and started to wipe his body.
"W-w-w-w-why are you undressing...?!" exclaimed a flustered Heloise, turning her head away, but not able to resist taking sneaky peeks.
She hadn't expected Felix, who appeared slender with his clothes on, to have such a well-defined physique beneath his clothing.
His muscles weren't the bulky type that one would find in the muscular tigermen race, but rather, they were lean and defined, presenting a unique kind of beauty.
"All thanks to you," Tyler replied, drying off his body and putting on new clothing.
He then placed two bottles of some unknown liquid on the table.
"After you finish breakfast, drink these two bottles of 'Holy Water' and begin the 'Purification Ritual'."
Upon hearing this, Heloise couldn't help but feel disheartened.
She had been so proud of herself when she was licking Felix's body just now, but now she felt equally despondent.
As long as her karmic imprint wasn't purified, she would have to obediently let Felix have his way.
.
During the purification ritual, Heloise, following her previous practice, was about to undress when Felix suddenly told her that from today onwards, she only needed to expose her back.
"Eh...?" Heloise responded, a bit taken aback.
"Because your remaining karmic imprint is on your back."
"Oh..."
Heloise was a bit slow to react.
Logically, she should have been pleased, but considering that she had already shown Felix her front a few days ago, she felt that covering up now seemed a bit hypocritical.
Moreover, even though he had such a good opportunity to see her body, Felix showed no interest, which clearly implied that he wasn't attracted to her!
This infuriated Heloise, and she muttered to herself that there must be something "wrong" with Felix, otherwise, how could he remain so indifferent!
"Felix... are you... are you..." Heloise hesitated.
Heloise was facing away from Felix, who was currently sprinkling "Holy Water" on her back.
"What is it?" Felix asked.
"Are you only... only... only interested in... big ones...?!"
"Huh? What big ones?"
Felix's tone was full of confusion; he obviously didn't understand what Heloise was talking about.
But Heloise's embarrassment had reached its peak, and she couldn't bring herself to explain.
"I... I... I'll have you know that I'm only 17 years old, I... I still have time to... to grow bigger!" Frustrated at being belittled by Felix and having nothing to retort with, Heloise could only blurt out these words to save face.
As a result, Felix responded with a sentence that left her perplexed for quite some time.
"Hmm, I know. You just keep trying your best."
.
— (Does Felix know that I can still grow bigger?)
— (How did he know?)
— (He wants me to try my best?)
— (How to try my best?)
Heloise was puzzled by Felix's answer for a whole morning. During that time, Felix took Heloise around Delis Town, seeking ways to treat the "Parasitic Blood Serpent," but they found nothing by noon.
Seeing Felix's earnest and somewhat anxious demeanor, Heloise also started to take the matter seriously.
"Felix, since clergy can treat it, why don't you take your relative to the clergy for treatment?"
"Because..."
Felix hesitated for a moment before revealing the reason.
"Because we've tried clergy before, but it failed, so we have to look for other methods."
Heloise vaguely felt that Felix didn't reveal the real reason just now.
However, his care and concern for his relative were genuine.
Over these days, it was Felix's kindness that prevented Heloise from hating him. Whether it was helping her remove the karmic imprint or finding a treatment plan for his relative, Felix truly lived up to the title of "Messenger of the Benevolent Deity."
— (But it's really annoying that he never sees me as a woman... 💢)
During lunch, Heloise ate the food for three people alone, and she didn't feel stuffed at all, which surprised her.
Ever since she accepted the "Trial Blood," her appetite had been increasing day by day.
— (But... after accepting the "Trial Blood," the demon still hasn't been eliminated, so what should I do next? Will the Trial Blood gradually become ineffective?)
— (Lord Earthly Ghost, you have to contact me soon...)
For some reason, when she was enjoying her meal, Heloise vaguely felt that Felix's gaze was full of sorrow and regret.
— (Could it be that he's worried that I'll gain weight?)
— (Or is he worried about his money?)
Without boasting, Heloise was quite confident in her figure, especially her legs, which were longer than most people's.
And after her long-term exercise, there was no excess fat on her thighs and calves, the muscle lines were just right, and sometimes Heloise herself would be mesmerized by them.
— (It's okay, the increase in appetite is definitely due to the "Trial Blood." At the worst, I'll just exercise a little more in the afternoon.)
Heloise was very optimistic. She ate another piece of roast potato with gusto.
Only Felix's gaze, still filled with unspoken emotions, was fixed on her.
.
By the afternoon, Heloise followed Felix to the Quest Guild, wanting to ask if Pamela, the branch chief, had any progress.
Just then, another group of people also wanted to enter the Quest Guild. They walked in front of Heloise and Felix, acting as if they owned the road.
Four or five people took up the entire road, pushing all the pedestrians aside, and swaggered into the Guild's gate.
"Out of the way, out of the way, our Lord Babur here just passed the 'Orange Trial,' you mortals better not delay Lord Babur's precious time!"
(Note: The difficulty of trials from easy to hard is white < yellow < orange < red < purple.)
Hearing their bragging, Heloise couldn't help but widen her eyes and wanted to see if this Babur who passed the "Orange Trial" had some extraordinary appearances.
"Felix, the man named Babur in front is so amazing, he actually passed the Orange Trial! When I challenged the Yellow Trial, I almost died in it...!"
