BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79 [Bonus ] 79: The Tide Begins To Recede
"My thighs are a bit sore..." Raven whispered as he walked down the busy morning road at a brisk pace.
His eyes scanned around, feeling a sense of nostalgia watching all the people rushing for the early bus or dashing to their office to arrive even a minute earlier.
\'I don\'t miss this way of life, haha!\'
Today, Raven felt amazing. There wasn\'t much to do, and he would probably visit a random dungeon with Lilith later; she did start clamouring about her weapon and buying armour and cute clothes.
\'Well, I did buy some things, but now I\'ve got more money, let\'s pay the rent for the next month, and also top-up the electric and magia bill so they don\'t cut off our oven!\'
- To Lilith <3
Yo, slum girl.
I\'m on my way home. Do you want to go shopping for some cute outfits for the dungeon and then visit one for a few hours, or will you spend all day watching lewd video\'s in your stuffy room?
Raven\'s face was filled with a bright smile as he stepped forward, looking around before heading to the bus station to get home.
He began to think clearly about the future, wanting to move away from the slums, although they were getting stronger. Raven knew a sky was always above his head; even Zestria was more powerful than him. If she wasn\'t having sex with him, she could easily have beaten him.
\'Maybe, we\'ll stay here until we\'re better equipped, but it\'s time to think about moving out of there.\'
The bus stopped; its peeling red paint, and rusty doors opened with a loud pulse of air, and the familiar old man\'s face was there, wrinkled and smiling, his narrow eyes slightly opening as he saw Raven.
"Yo, old man! How are you doing? Still not dead, I suppose."
Oblivious, Raven stood up and paid for a ticket. He looked at the girl sitting beside him, and she smiled at him as she took her handbag and walked off.
Raven took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air of the morning breeze as he boarded the bus and sat down, closing his eyes for a moment before taking out his phone to read the two replies he received.
- From Lilith <3
Hmph! Stupid Orc!
If you want, this empress will let you escort her, but her cute things and then protect her as she walks briskly through the dungeon.
However!
You are not allowed to stick that huge weapon you call a penis in her tail, or this empress might fight you to the death, even if she has to bite it off!
p.s. You can give the empress lots of love and affection, and she won\'t complain!
<--->
- From Waifu (Emily)
My beloved raven~
Today I woke up early and thought of you. Did you think of me when your cheating cock penetrated my best friend? Did her insides feel juicy and warm as she finished inside her womb?
Tell me, did you do it once? Twice... maybe all night?
Ah, this Dryad is not mad... no, she is filled with endless love for you! Is that why she sounds so happy on the phone...
Fufu~ this Dryad is not angry, not jealous and not planning to violate you next time we are alone.
Please rest assured, this Dryad is merely too in love with you and cannot control her vines... So they might restrict your movement, strip you naked and tie you to a bed out of happiness and joy!
The Dryad is pure, innocent, and only wants to make you happy!
-
He looked at the phone for a moment, then back to the old man whose face seemed to be smiling, but Raven knew that sure wasn\'t a real smile, feeling the murderous intent from here!
"Hey, Old Man... you want to go to the dungeon? Women are a little scary..."
Raven couldn\'t help but shout towards the old man, but the ruthless old man gave him a mocking glance before chuckling to himself.
"Tsk.." The Old Man clicked his tongue, turning the bus towards the inside lane; as he dropped off, the lady that smiled at Raven earlier, "Have a good day, ma\'am."
"Oh, thank you, have a nice day too." She replied to him with a smile and hopped off the bus while the old man\'s head turned towards Raven, who struggled to reply to the two women that were a little scary.
"My little Lilith is not scary..... stupid boy steals my little miracle and then complains..." He began to grumble before pulling out of the parking lane, his voice and face looked moody, but his voice was spirited; the fact she could make him scared meant he wasn\'t bullying her, and that was enough for the old man to relax.
-
About 30 minutes later, Raven pressed the red button as the bus gradually slowed to a halt; his steps were brisk after calming both girls down and receiving a rather racy picture of the inside of a certain manticore\'s tail, filled with sticky fluids and a Dryad showing her pure and pretty carpel.
\'These two, why are they so similar... yet so different!\'
The moment he stepped forward, the doors slowly opened, as usual; he whispered a message to the old man, sure he was worried about a certain girl.
"Old man, Lilith is doing well; she\'s now level 5, powerful, and skilled with sharp edges. You should be proud, and before you worry, don\'t."
"..."
The old man\'s face was serene, but his eyes were quite fierce, a slight light gleaming within, as Raven turned to face him with an equally stern and serious face.
"Know this: anyone who seeks to harm her will face the full force of my devotion. I\'ll shield her with my body, even if it means enduring even the most excruciating pain and shedding every last drop of blood. And if my flesh fails, my soul will rise to take its place."
"I love her, and she is one of my guiding stars on my dark path. I vow to protect her with my very being."
For the first time, the old man\'s face showed something more than bitter face or anger; his lips trembled before slowly forming a faint smile as he nodded three times.
"I see... You, no... Please, take good care of my beloved granddaughter; this foolish old man will make sure neither of you has to suffer as long as I breathe."
The old man\'s aura was amazing, his power causing the bus to shudder from his power, before it slowly died down, with the squeaking of the hydraulics and bus wipers being triggered.
Raven looked at him, the bus engines humming sounded, as they both nodded; he didn\'t add anything, not wanting to cheapen his feelings, thus stepping off the bus, only feeling even more desire to become strong as he looked into the sky.
"Damn, that old man is so fucking cool!"
He was always a fan of those old men who would show up in action movies or anime and fight off the last boss or villain\'s killer move, all to buy time for the MC to escape or deal the fatal blow.
\'I don\'t want the old man to be like that, though... He should find himself an old woman and make peace...\'
"Let\'s head home... I want to buy some nice things for my girlfriends today..."
\'Philis would be mad if she knew I suddenly had 3 of them only 3 weeks after we broke up...\'
He imagined her saying, "Wow... an extra hole per week, your cock and lust know no bounds."
He began composing a message to send to Philis, who also sent him a text this morning, which caused him to feel a strange tension as it was a very affectionate message rather than a cold and blunt one.
\'This girl... why can\'t I forget her?\'
"No... let\'s not lie to myself, I still love her and want her to be my lover beside Emily... Let\'s work hard to make it a reality!"
His mind also began to fear the next trial, as now thanks to Zestria the 6th gate was cleared, meaning he had 2 trials to endure.
"2 trials..."
Raven didn\'t notice a strange leaflet posted along the walls by strange women with hoods, hiding their faces and filled with golden markings quite similar to the runes of the old manticores and races from hundreds if not thousands of years ago.
Still, those women all watched him, their heads turning as he walked past; without fail, they followed his movements until he vanished.
Moments later, they all seemed to take out their phones to report to something or someone.
