Sol and Nerodia decided to do the bond thing near Minerva's Temple in case something go wrong, Sol chose the most secluded camp so there won't be anyone disturbing and hear about their bond.
Nerodia had turned big enough and place itself in front of Sol, they had memorized the bond ritual so there would not be any mistake.
"Ugh... Minerva is making fun of us, this ritual sounds so wrong! I don't even want to be with you forever" He complained to the snake.
"do you think I want to? I don't want to babysit you all the time if I can!" the snake got offended by his word and started to counter his word.
"what? I am the victim here, you just enjoy to put me inside you!" they start to quarrel, Sol complained of when he hid in It on the way into the city.
"It was too tight inside you! I got all slimy and it was too hot inside you!" he kept complaining.
"what the fuck? Do you think I like it? you are the one who keeps moving inside me, it was torture you know? You keep moving inside me for one full day that was uncomfortable for me!" it complained back at him.
"I was tired too you know? If you had let me out I won't keep moving inside you!" Sol did not back down.
"You even let all that body fluid inside me, it was disgusting you know?" The snake kept protesting.
They keep quarreling until both are tired, "Ugh... whatever, let's just get this done with, the faster the better" Sol hurried the snake to be ready.
"that's fine by me, You go first." It hissed at him.
"I, Sol Vestitor, hereby take you, Nerodia, to be bonded for life and forever, to share everything of mine, may our life connected and you become me and I become you," Sol said solemnly and slit his palm, drawing blood and pressing his palm on the snake's forehead.
"I, Nerodia, also hereby take you, Sol Vestitor, to be bonded for life and forever, to share everything of mine, may our life connected and you become me and I become you," It said its part and also drew blood on her tail and pressed it at Sol's forehead.
Both of their bodies glow in blood-red color and Sol could feel his body turning hot and he became stronger and stronger, It was not as drastic as his last power-up from the Divine punishment but a power-up was a welcome gift.
While Sol grows stronger, Nerodia's upper body morphed into a human form, her form looked like a lamia, She had a slender body and big breast which is currently on display and her face was very beautiful and youth full.
Her scales were still metallic blue, her hair is a darker shade of blue while on her forehead is a mark of blood in the shape of a water drop.
Sol looked at her in surprise, she was actually so beautiful, "if she doesn't have a snake lower body then it would be perfect" he lamented.
"what are you looking at? Now I looked like a human and you suddenly droll all over? Disgusting!" it said arrogantly.
Sol's face turned solemn, "Even if she looks beautiful, it's actually still that evil snake, tsk, I almost got fooled by its appearance" Sol swear that he would not fall for it again.
"If I really bewitched by this snake then there will be even more rumor about me!" he reasoned with himself.
They went out of the tent finding Ashura standing there with an awkward laugh, "Hahaha, congratulation brother Sol! To think last time you get a daughter and now you get a wife, your life sure moving fast"
Sol face could not help but spasm in annoyance, "you were here long?" he asked the Heir.
"ah, I had come to visit you after I heard that you were awake, when I get tho the camp I saw you get inside this tent" He explained, "I did not mean to eavesdrop but you start quarreling so I did not want to disturb you"
"Fuck! He heard everything! This loud mouth will never keep it to himself!" Sol cursed, his quarrel with Nerodia was so ambiguous that others would think they had sex and he was complaining about it.
Sol had tried his best to keep the man's mouth shut but he seemed to be in a hurry and quickly went away.
Nerodia had followed sol home because now their lives were linked, She needed to make sure Sol stay alive no matter what.
Not a day past and rumors already spreading like a wildfire, "Sol Vestitor, the heir killer and hero of the city had taken a snake girl against her will!" people said.
"they said he keeps doing her for a full twenty-four hours, he did not let her rest at all and keep moving." Another added.
"he even complained about it and keep saying that the girl is too tight and all it huts him, that's shameless!" other people add oil to the fire.
"you haven't heard? He even came in her without permission, he was so shameless" everyone was cursing him.
"At least he takes responsibility for her, I heard that he marry her even though both don't like each other" someone tried to side with Sol.
"you did not hear? The girl looked so young that she looked like a minor! That man just wants to keep doing his shameless deed" people keep adding fire to it.
"don't you know? He already have two animal girl at home, he even had a child with one of them! He is just a beast with a weird hobby, as long as it's animal he was fine with it!" Rumors about Sol keep getting worse and worse.
Sol was so depressed when he heard about it, "Fuck! If I ever meet with Ashura again then I will beat him up!" he cursed at the source of his misery.
