Chapter 26: Reader: Soak in the hot springs, talk about life

Chapter 26.1 Reader: Soak in the hot springs, talk about life

White steam filled the hot springs and the pungent smell of sulphur permeated the air. This was Du Zes first volcanic hot springs experience. In the twenty-first century, he was a loser who liked to stay at home. Of course he has never been to a hot springs. In fact, he has never even been to a public bath.

Du Ze turned to Xiu and found that the other person was already taking his clothes off, completely at ease in this setting. Xiu took hold of the bottom of his coat before pulling it up over his head. The movement of the muscles on his waist was quite fascinating, exhibiting both beauty and strength. Du Ze stared at Xius slim and strong physique, not to mention those abs Du Zes hands stopped in the middle of unbuttoning his shirt.

This boiled chicken- looking man also has dignity. QAQ

Xiu had just taken off his coat when, to his surprise, he saw that Du Ze was already sitting in the hot spring. It seems like the cute little fool of a reader had undressed faster than the speed of light.1 Xiu was involuntarily attracted by the sight of Du Ze in the hot spring. The black-haired youth had taken off the glasses and the headphones that he always wore. As a result, he would squint in the hot steam. In that pair of black eyes, dense ripples were reflected.

Some of the steam condensed into water. Drops of water trailed down along Du Zes neck onto his collarbones. The skin there is very white since it is rarely exposed to sunlight by this shut-in. Xiu knows the warm touch of that skin. The color of Xius eyes darkened as he remembered how two peoples skin were touching each other a few days ago. Xiu narrowed his eyes.

I want to

Du Ze wiped his face. The steam made everything look white even when he tried to focus his eyes. Not only was his vision affected, he could also barely hear any sounds at this time. Du Ze felt the water rippling when Xiu entered. The blonde-haired blue-eyed youth sat beside him at half an arms length away; he could see Xius face despite his high myopia.

Xiu seemed to be satisfied. When the other person sighed, Du Ze understood his mood very well; this feeling that even the pores are open to breathe freely, its very calming. Recently he has been chasing the runaway plot, but now was the chance to take a break. Looking at the relaxed serene face of the protagonist, a silly, cute person thinks that now is a good time to talk about life, so

****! Why arent you waterproof?! @Headphones

Every time I want to increase my favorability rating, the headphones always go on strike.

At this time, Du Ze glanced at Xiu, who seemed to say something. Not wanting to miss a good opportunity, Du Ze couldnt help speaking. Anyway, he spoke to Xiu once before when his hearing aid died, back in Halphas City when they were making their escape. Hes not sure why, but his social barrier seems to be less obstructive these days?

What did you just say?

Xiu looked startled and seemed to suddenly become aware of Du Zes ear problem. He grabbed Du Zes hand from under the water and, like the gnome did before, wrote a sentence in Du Zes palm: [Singing.]

He was singing Im even more unwilling to fall!2 For the protagonist to be in such a good mood that he will sing, this is something he only read once in 500 chapters of Mixed Blood!

Du Ze nodded impassively then motioned to the other person to continue, no need to pay attention to him, but in his heart he was sitting in a corner growing mushrooms out of depression. Because he was distracted, some silly Moe person didnt realize that Xiu didnt let go of his hand after finishing.

Du Ze?

The soft voice echoed in the steam, but the person who was being called had no reaction. In the white water the inverted image of the blonde youth was distorted.

Amidst the steam, the expression on Xius face was ambiguous: I thought about this for a long time.

This person is important why is this person important?

If caring is the same as liking.

This person is different.

If wanting to control something is liking.

The man must stay with him all the time.

If wanting to monopolize something is liking.

This man is his.

Well, Du Ze, he smiled and said to his utterly silent and only audience. I like you.3

His voice was gentle, but with an almost brutal determination. There was no room for rejection or opposition. It was a verdict and a proclamation, not an opinion. Like a mighty king, he led the army to stand in front of the enemy and openly declared his intent to invade.

Looking at Xius smile, Du Ze though that the song must be very good because the others expression was so gentle. He really wanted to listen to that song but the hardware condition was too weak and couldnt receive a signal.

He wanted to hear the song so much that Du Ze finally couldnt help but to speak up: This song, when I can hear, can you sing to me again?

Xiu stared at his oblivious prey, the corners of his mouth were still turned up while his eyes became more and more mysterious. He wrote on Du Zes palm, like describing invisible shackles.

[Alright.]4

Wait until he draws in the net. Even if that person doesnt want to listen, he will say the words to him, and he will not let this person struggle or escape.5

Chapter 26.2 Reader: Soak in the hot springs, talk about life

When Du Ze and Xiu went back to camp, they saw that Violet had already packed everything up and was ready to go. But now they have a bit of a problem: mounts.

After some discussion, they decided to split up into two groups and meet up in Agares City. Violet will bring the flame crystal soul to Belial City first to help Alice out while Du Ze and Xiu will travel on foot southward to Agares City. Although Xius Lich form is the master of undead magic, his human form can use more types of magic since humans specialize in learning. He especially excels in the four elements of water, wind, fire, and earth. Xiu knows a wind elemental magic that can accelerate their travel speed. Their journey was very easy and they arrived in a ruined city in three days.

The reverse side of the continent has 72 main cities that 72 demon gods founded. This ruined city is actually one of those 72, called Dantalion, ranked second from the last. For some reason, the city was abandoned halfway during its construction. Cities that cant protect its inhabitants from the elemental storms naturally have no one living in them, so this city is empty.

Violet said that Agares City is two days travel from this ruined city.

Wait a minute! Du Ze suddenly realized something. Agares City?

Please note, the protagonists heavenly luck has struck again.

Flowers bloomed in a silly readers heart. If a reader were to list the top ten best YY story arcs of Mixed Blood, then the Agares City arc will definitely be on top. It has left an indelible imprint on minds of the novels readers.

While Dantalion City is ranked second from the last, Agares City is ranked second among the 72 cities. Although Bael, the first ranked city on the reverse side of the continent, is the most famous city here, Agares City is more famous on the other side of the continent than the city of Bael. The demon God Agares represents lust and indulgence. If Bael City is similar to the heavenly capital, then Agares City is the demonic capital.

This kind of city has a very beautiful Lord Heidi. She is the most beautiful succubus demon on the continent, and countless suitors have fallen under her skirt. When the protagonist attacked Agares City, this gorgeous demon appeared, attracting everyones eyes. Yi Ye Zhi Qiu wrote that the charm of this demon sister was comparable to that of a movie star dancing her way to the top of the emperors harem.

Then everyone watched as Heidi opened the gates and handed over Agares city, the second most powerful in the reverse side of the continent, to the protagonist.

Because she fell in love with him at first sight.

Reader:

On that day, after a short silence, all of the readers were collectively on cloud nine.1

How great is this event where this sister whose charm conquered the world was conquered by the protagonists charm! Incidentally, he even won the world as part of her dowry!

Yoooo~

Although the YY novel is full of plot holes but! Hes so cool!!!

Yoooo~

Praise the author! The protagonist is terrific!

Yoooo~

As for logic, what is that? Can it be eaten? _ (: 3) _

Please light a candle for the authors and readers moral integrity.

The protagonists harem consists of many beauties with different temperaments. They each have their own special charm and appeal to many different tastes. Vivian is the pure type; Ariel is gentle; Kelly is proud and strong; Urlika is the cool elder sister; Lilia is heroically chaste; Violet and Alice are twin demon lilies; and, lastly, Heidi is mature and beautiful (a cougar). She was very active and open. The protagonists time in Agares City was greeted with a loud clamor by the pleased readers.

Du Ze is happy to think that they will now meet with a very active sister, seeing as the protagonist unfortunately let the demon sisters slip out of his fingers. Using the master and servant contract instead of capturing the sisters for 3P2 is not a good outcome and Du Ze really doesnt know what went wrong.

He shot Xiu a look of bitterness. Xiu was standing under the statue of the ruined citys demon god. Because the city was never completed, the statue is also incomplete and only a rough outline of its form can be seen. Du Ze is not familiar with this city because Mixed Blood described this place in a very cursory way and did not explain why there is an abandoned city here.

Du Ze suddenly remembered that he wanted to listen to that song. These past few days he has had no chance to ask Xiu to sing but now they finally have some free time and there is no one else around. When he heard Du Zes request, Xiu glanced at the unfinished idol and then asked a question that seemed irrelevant: What does God think of the world?

God? The god of light? Du Ze thought about it. In the novel, all the gods seem to be in a space separate from the continent. They speak to people through Oracles when they want to give instructions to their followers as they find it difficult to appear in the Chaos Continent. The higher the level of the god, the more difficult it is for them to appear. Otherwise, the god of light would have personally appeared to strangle the protagonist himself rather than sending cannon fodder to the protagonist again and again.

They look down on the world from above, observing it. They occasionally say some words, but they traditionally remain aloof.

Xius smile imprinted itself deeply into Du Zes eyes: I want to talk to him, but not when he is high above and looking down on me as the object of his speech. That is not talking, dont you agree?

Seeing Du Ze nod, Xiu cast down his eyes, concealing his emotions.

So now is not the time.

A question mark appeared above Du Zes head but Xiu did not speak; he just walked over to him and gently stroked the back of Du Zes neck.

Lets go.

Halphas City welcomed a distinguished guest today.

The new Halphas City Lord looked at the demon sitting opposite him in awe, this demon was wearing a monocle and looked polite but this is someone that people do not dare to underestimate the Thunder Regiments representative, who was in control of the reverse side of the continents most terrible power.

The legendary demon Bael formed the Thunder Regiment. In the war with the angels, it became their biggest nightmare. The weakest soldier in the regiment was of at least Sword Saint rank, and under the leadership of Bael the Thunder Regiment was invincible and set the record for many illustrious military exploits. After Bael became a god, the regiment was left in the city of Bael. These soldiers are faithful to Bael, and even the Lord of Bael City cannot command them. They only listen to Bael and his agents.

The demon wearing a monocle is the legendary agent, Rachel.

You mean a gnome suddenly became a demon? Rachel put down the black tea in her hand: Go on.

The Lord of Halphas City described how Xiu had killed the former lord. When he got to the part where the demon used the lightning power, Rachel, in her reverence for that power, repeatedly asked him to describe it again and again. Rachel listened with a gleam of splendor in her eyes.

Tell me which direction they went.

Lord Rachel, the demon and human flew west.

West? The sea of undead souls.

Rachel stood up, and looked down at the Halphas City Lord.

You are very clever, I dont need to tell you what to say and what not to say, right?

Of course, of course! Ill take care of it right away and there will be no strange rumors!

Satisfied with this answer, Rachel left. A black-clothed demon followed in silence; they both had the Thunder Regiments symbol printed on their clothes.

Next the sea of undead souls.

The succubus was like the sun, an enchanting, brilliant beauty that attracted everyones attention. All of the men present wanted to push her down in bed and caress her snow-white skin, lick her bright red lips she can evoke mans most primitive impulses.

Heidi gazed at Xiu, running her hands through her fluffy curls and smiling.

I like your blond hair very much Tonight, will you come to me?
