"Why did you think I won't?" Fellene asked staring into those blue bewitching eyes of Lania. "Have I ever disappointed you?"
He knew putting his heart into it was impossible. But at least his mind. That's why he gave her a weak smile, preparing his mind for the responsibilities ahead.
"I would never say that," Lania answered pulling him gently.
"Let's go then."
They turned right and took a few steps before reaching the entrance. Lania pressed her hand on a crystal embedded in the wall and flinched it a little.
As soon as the wall slid away, disappearing into the rocks on the left side, Fellene's nostrils were greeted by a sweet scent.
"Oh Fellene," A succubus with a curvaceous figure exclaimed approaching them. Like Lania, she wore nothing. "We were depressed you won't make it."
"Peony, why do you all think like that always?"
"Forget it!" She grabbed his hand. "Only your presence matters." The unique fragrance emanating from her pale body made her smell just as good as a peony flower, reminding Fellene that she was the one behind the sweet smell in the room.
He wandered his eyes across the room as they approached the bathtub. As usual tenths of ladies were swimming in there, preparing their bodies for the party. None was as beautiful as Valeria, but at least now he had somewhere to release his anger. They would think he was being rough to satisfy them, which they liked, when he would be doing contrary.
"Ladies," announced peony as they approached the enormous bathtub. "The king has arrived." Her long black hair wasn't as soft as Lania's bronze, but seeing it dancing as she jumped with excitement, made Fellene want to stroke it.
Her voice made every beauty in the water turn around and swim towards the edge. Brightened by the smiles of happiness, their pretty faces were glistening with water, their nudity making the scenery more pleasant to his eyes.
When Fellene reached the bathtub, he lowered his gaze to stare at them. Each had craned her neck to look at him, and he knew the meaning of the look in their eyes.
Some started throwing drops of hot water to him playfully, others washing their mounds seductively. He would flinch a little because of the drops, and they would giggle, their sounds inviting him down into the bathtub.
His little brother down there started to wake, and as they continued teasing him, his sanity faded away, making him be proud of his idea of building the bathtub into the ground. He only needed to jump.
'No! I have to tease them like they are doing,' He told his little brother who was going crazy.
However, only one succubus or a few would not make him go crazy. These were many. He was already dying. How was he going to tease them?
He cast a spell to send his wings and tail away, and as they disappeared, Poeny whispered into his ears. "Don't you remember some of us love it when it's the tail?"
He gave her a knowing smile before gesturing for her to help him out of his robes.
Now that Brunos was back, he needed this more than anytime. He needed to get more stronger if that brat was pretending to be weak. Only through this dual cultivation he would get stronger. He had to do it.
He even started considering turning this into a once a week party. He had been doing it once a month to spare time for Valeria. To escort her in the Pergus Valley in hopes she would see it someday, and reward him. But it seemed he was wrong.
He had to find another strategy. Was there anything else except putting much effort into dual cultivating? He could only win her by cultivating as fast as he could. By becoming strong so he wouldn't be a victim to whatever gave Brunos ability to run like lightening.
"Please," he heard succubi pleading at once. "Can't you see we are dying?"
This prompted him to take steps forward. They all started struggling toward the stairs, fighting playfully as always. Looking at them in such a state, you would think they were angels. But they weren't. Only him knew what missions he sent them to. How dangerous there were.
As he descended the stairs into that small lake of his, he tried to push Valeria and Brunos aside but he couldn't not. How could he ignore the sparks in her eyes when he pulled her for a hug? Of course Brunos didn't pull her. She went willingly. But Fellene knew that brat had maybe used some magic. How else could he discribe the phenomenon of a talking Valeria?
The succubi met Fellene mid-stairs and pulled him into the bathtub aggressively. When he fell among them, they rushed to surround him. He felt their soft hands over his body and for one reason or the other, he wished time could stop there.
After a few minutes, Peony and Lania jumped into the water and everyone went aside. Lania was like his mother. A sex beast. There was no need for him to take the first move.
With her fiercy moves, their lips touched and he was dying for more when Peony questioned, "Where have you been?"
It took Fellene to hardly push Lania away to break the kiss.
"Why?" He asked.
"The claws," Peony answered removing his hair for everyone to see. "I wonder who they belong to."
Before he could say anything, Lania asked, "Is it the queen?"
"No!"
All succubi gave him a questioning glare as their smiles turned into bitter ones.
"It's not as you think," he hurried to explain. "It's an enemy. I want you to kill her for me."
"Who's she?"
"You'll know," Fellene answered shifting his gaze to a blue haired petite succubus. "Amelia, go put some music."
"Time to party!" Amelia climbed out of the pool shouting.
"Yesss!" Lania shouted a long with other succubi before pressing her lips to Fellene's cherries again.
***
After Fellene stormed out of the room, Brunos disabled mind reading ability. Valeria had already showed him her side by accepting to hug him and remain with him alone in the room.
It felt so good to see a strong figure
like her become venerable in his arms. He might be the weakest of all, but at least one of the strongest loved him. He might not be as handsome as other incubi, but he wasn't as ugly as he was on earth. Besides, there was a room for improvement.
"Thank you, Brunos," she said pulling away.
Brunos looked into those green eyes of hers. They were like an ocean, so deep and unreadable. "For what?"
"For returning, for the butterfly, for everything."
"Is there any other think you want me to do for you?" he asked observing every movement her features were doing. Her face wasn't chiseled as Lilyon's but it held aesthetic beauty.
"Can you..." Instead of finishing her sentence, she lowered her gaze as if the things she wanted to say were embarrassing.
Brunos reached for her chin and lifted it with his index finger. "You're still as breathtaking as you were. More beautiful than I left you."
If he haven't lived with Lilyard, seeing a blushing succubus would surprise and scare him.
She stared at him with a mysterious look. "Are they your wives?" She was blinking and flipping her long dark eyelashes.
"What if they are?" Brunos didn't want to hurt her, but teasing her a little wouldn't do any harm.
"I would ask you if you mind a fourth one," she answered with a look of determination.
Before he could react, Dollian's voice startled him. "Master, if you don't choose ability soon, you're going to miss the opportunity. Only two minutes remain."
"What?" Brunos was stunned. "You should have warned me."
"But I did," she protested.
He didn't want to choose Super Speed. Every battle doesn't require movement. Sometimes people fight through words or knowledge, and only the ones with a hidden card win the battle.
He had seen more outstanding abilities like mind reading. But he couldn't choose it either. He didn't want to live stalking other people's minds. What would he choose then?
"Shall I choose mind reading?" He decided to seek advice from Dollian.
"Master, it's not a good recommendation."
"Why not?" He asked and quickly added. "And stop calling me master. It was good when you was being yourself."
A joyful smile could be detected in her voice as she exclaimed, "OK!" She then explained. "It would steal from you the pleasure of guessing, of assuming and of self-confidence. Sometimes it's fun to be naive."
"I'm not convinced. Any other reason?"
"It can also affect your stamina and agility. How can you concentrate on a fight when you're trying to suppress the incoming noisy from those around you?"
"What shall I choose then?"
Dollian was about to answer when Valeria said, "Brunos, I'm sorry if I'm asking for impossible. But this time, it's not your heart that I want. You just promise me to never leave. I can't continue providing for your kingdom alone."
Did she say his kingdom? He didn't have to fight for it, right? But he was too weak and inexperienced to rule.
Before he could reply, Dollian panicked. "Five seconds or it's over."
Panicking, Brunos started reading other abilities to find a good one, but before he could choose, he felt Valeria's lips to his.
At that moment, the screen disappeared, leaving him cursing. 'Damn it!'
