Chapter 158: The Rise of the Grind Kings
After Rose left, Kailun had someone bring paper and pen for Edlin to record the magic spell.
For the sake of the two million gold coin debt, Edlin diligently recorded the spell without complaint.
“You said your grandfather left the Royal City early and returned to the Abyss?”
Kailun received unexpected news when he mentioned the old Dragon King, Bolton. He looked at Bella in surprise. “That’s quite rare. I thought he would take you back.”
“Grandpa said that the Abyss is stable now, and he told me to stay in the Xiya Kingdom with peace of mind.”
Bella looked worried. The previous defeat had greatly impacted the Abyss.
The loss of the second mineral vein had left the Abyss without the resources for a prolonged war. According to their estimates, the remaining reserves could only sustain the Abyss for another thirty years.
Thirty years weren’t long, especially for two sides in a long-term confrontation.
Therefore, some in the Abyss wanted to fight the Temple of the Celestial God to the death, while others wanted to remain stable and seek hope.
Currently, the two factions were locked in a fierce struggle, and the outcome was still uncertain.
“Since that’s the case, you can stay at my manor with peace of mind. You don’t have to worry about safety. No one would dare to anger me during this time.”
Kailun nodded at Bella. He didn’t ask further about the Abyss.
In his past life, the Abyss had been able to maintain stability after its defeat, probably because they saw hope in Carol.
Investing all of the Abyss’s future resources in Carol could indeed create the Witch Carol.
But now, the Abyss no longer had that hope. It was only natural for them to be lost.
This was also an opportunity for him. At the right time, he would promote the Xiya Kingdom to the Abyss. He believed they would be willing to have another seemingly strong ally.
“Excuse me, Master, the newly formed White Jade Alliance has sent an envoy to demand an explanation from you. They’ve already arrived in the Royal City.”
Anna, who had been summoned, walked up to Kailun with a scroll in her hand.
Kailun: “…”
He had just said that no one would dare to anger him, and yet, he was immediately proven wrong.
Kailun had a basic understanding of this so-called White Jade Alliance. He heard that it had over a hundred major forces, and their combined number of ninth-rank mages might not be less than the Temple of the Celestial God’s.
If managed properly, this would be a formidable force.
But in Kailun’s opinion, the possibility of them uniting was very slim.
There were inherent conflicts of interest between these forces. They only came together for self-preservation. When it came to contributing, they would push others forward, and when it came to reaping benefits, they would be the first to run.
Trying to unite the entire alliance in a short time was no easier than overthrowing the Temple of the Celestial God right now.
In the Kuye Town incident, the White Jade Alliance had lost two ninth-rank and two eighth-rank mages. For them, this wasn’t just a flesh wound, it was like losing half their lives.
The most important thing was that these people had died without making a sound. The major forces who had suffered heavy losses were about to turn on each other.
Thinking of this, Kailun chuckled. “Reject their demands directly and tell them that if they want an explanation, their leader can come to the Xiya Kingdom in person. If he dares to come, I’ll have a good talk with him.”
“Will this ‘talk’ be serious?” Phils laughed.
Kailun picked up a cherry and flicked it at Phils’s forehead. “What kind of person do you think I am? I’m very serious, okay? Generally, I only turn the other party’s leader into a slave. Since they’ve delivered themselves to my doorstep, wouldn’t it be against my nature if I didn’t do something?”
Phils caught the cherry that slid down her face and popped it into her mouth. She knew Kailun would say that.
“Understood. I’ll send someone to reply.” Anna nodded and was about to leave.
Since taking over the intelligence organization, Anna had become much more decisive, and her aura had changed.
“Not so fast. I called you here for something else.” Kailun grabbed Anna’s arm and pulled her onto his lap.
Although her skirt hindered some of the sensation, Kailun could still feel her softness.
“Duke Pit will arrive in the Royal City this afternoon.” Kailun got straight to the point, telling her about Duke Pit’s arrival.
Anna’s blue eyes constricted. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the scroll.
“Can I kill him?”
Anna’s voice was filled with coldness. If Duke Pit was standing in front of her right now, she might just kill him with her sword.
“Wouldn’t it be too merciful to just kill him? Duke Pit was tricked here by Dean Edlin.”
Kailun shook his head and pointed at Edlin.
Hearing this, Edlin quickly looked up and chimed in, “Yes, I lost 500,000 gold coins to trick him here. I’m so miserable, boo hoo hoo~”
“See? It’s best if a Duke Pit worth 500,000 gold coins dies in an interesting way. You can use your imagination. How should we torture him to make you feel happy?”
Kailun wrapped one arm around her slender waist and played with her long blue hair with the other. His seductive words sounded like a missionary’s.
Bella, who was not far away, secretly leaned close to Carol’s ear and asked, “Is he always like this?”
“Just get used to it. Master is quite good to his own people.” Carol answered, hugging her ninth-rank magic book.
Although her current strength was far from ninth-rank, she could understand most of the content in the book.
For her, it was like regaining lost knowledge. The content recorded in the book was all things she had already learned.
“So, how about it? Do you feel disillusioned?” Carol asked curiously, placing a bamboo bookmark in the book.
Bella: “No, actually, this bad side of him is quite charming.”
There was a different kind of light in her eyes as she peeked at Kailun. Carol couldn’t help but suspect that Kailun only needed to beckon with his finger to lure Bella into bed.
Oh no, it should be voluntary. After all, this silly dragon was obsessed with procreation.
As they were talking, a maid came to Kailun’s ear and whispered something. Kailun was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Because the maid’s voice was very low, even Anna, sitting on Kailun’s lap, couldn’t hear clearly.
She looked at Kailun curiously. She had vaguely heard the word “Saint” just now.
“Nothing, just a little rat snuck in and went somewhere it shouldn’t have.”
Kailun pulled Anna closer and let her rest her head on his shoulder. “You’ve worked hard during this time. I’ve promised Phils the title of Duke for her family. Is there anything you want?”
Those who worked hard for him deserved a reward. This was Kailun’s consistent principle.
Anna, who had been distracted, shook her head. “No, thank you. I don’t know what I want. Being able to kill Duke Pit has already fulfilled my wish.”
Seeing Anna’s listless demeanor, Kailun tickled her stomach. “Since that’s the case, I’ll give you time to think about it. I’ll give you a promise. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I’ll grant it.”
While no one was paying attention, Kailun secretly lifted Anna’s skirt and admired the pink pattern on her lower abdomen.
It was a slave mark, the first thing he had left on her.
For Kailun, Anna was the starting point of this life, a new beginning.
Every time he filled Anna and made the pattern on her stomach glow, Kailun felt a sense of satisfaction.
“Stop touching, they’ll see~”
Seeing Kailun’s fingers roaming on her lower abdomen, Anna blushed and pressed his hand down.
There were many people in the backyard now. They only needed to turn their heads to know what they were doing.
Kailun: “It doesn’t matter. They know what kind of person I am.”
Anna became a little anxious. She noticed Bella peeking at them, and Edlin would occasionally steal a glance. If this continued, her carefully crafted image of seriousness would be ruined.
So she leaned close to Kailun’s ear and whispered, “Everyone’s watching. Please don’t do this. Or… or you can put your hand inside my skirt. That way, they won’t see.”
Kailun was amused by Anna’s suggestion. “It seems your body really can’t live without me. You’ve been unconsciously rubbing against me since just now. You’ve rubbed your butt against me three times, your chest five times, and your arm countless times.”
“It’s an instinctive reaction. I can’t help it. And isn’t it you who made me this way?”
Anna gave Kailun a charming glare. “Not only my body, but you also stole my heart.”
“Correction, I snatched it.” As he spoke, Kailun fulfilled Anna’s wish.
Soon, Anna tightened her legs, moaning softly from time to time. She leaned against Kailun, acting coquettishly.
Only Afra, who had shared a bed with Kailun countless times, understood what was happening.
She also wanted the same treatment as Anna, but her reserved nature prevented her from taking that step in front of the other girls. So she pulled Phils aside and covered for Kailun.
She wasn’t in a hurry. With her low “combat power,” she would be easily satisfied.
A girl’s tenderness was always so innocent. Even with persistent effort, it wasn’t easy to break through Anna’s defenses quickly.
Searching and exploring, bypassing the delicate “door,” he arrived at the “heart,” peeking into her emotional world filled with mist.
If her heart was a heavy door, he could only use all his strength to push it open.
It was important not to get his head caught in the door while opening it. Even the pink door of her heart possessed unimaginable strength.
Kailun was the one who had peeked into the girl’s secrets. He had grasped her sensitivity and stolen her heart.
He moved freely within her heart, not encountering any resistance.
Perhaps because she truly liked him, she even willingly exposed her vulnerability.
If it were a different place, he might have been able to explore further.
Stealing a kiss under the watchful eyes of others had a unique charm, a different kind of amusement.
……
“Chrissy? What are you doing here?”
Vivian, in the underground prison, looked at Saint Chrissy, who had appeared at the door, with confusion.
Vivian had woken up early today. She felt like she had lost something and had been searching her room for a long time.
She realized halfway through her search that it was the wooden puppet she had been carving that was missing.
It was strange. Every time she carved for a while, she would feel sleepy.
Driven by drowsiness, she would lie down on the table and take a nap. When she woke up, the carving would have progressed significantly.
Vivian thought this was her talent, something like “I excel at carving in my dreams.”
“Of course, it’s to ambush Kailun!”
Chrissy walked into Vivian’s room casually.
She had interacted with Vivian before, but not often. They weren’t even friends.
“Ambush Kailun?” Vivian frowned.
She had a feeling that Chrissy’s ambush wouldn’t be a proper one, most likely an ambush in bed.
“Of course. But don’t worry, I’ll leave you some soup after I’m done with the meat.”
Chrissy went to Vivian’s table, took out a small bottle, and added something to it.
“I don’t want any of your so-called soup, especially from him!”
Vivian first refuted Chrissy’s words and then asked, “What are you putting in the teapot?”
“The key ingredient for Sleepytime Tea, commonly known as an aphrodisiac.”
Chrissy chuckled. She couldn’t wait to push Kailun down.
Did Vivian know how she had been spending the past few days?
It was torture! Kailun in her dreams, Kailun when she woke up, even Kailun when she was daydreaming.
She couldn’t wait for Kailun to satisfy her, to provide her with emotional comfort.
For Chrissy, only Kailun would do. He was the only one, the only one who could touch her heart.
Vivian: “…”
She knew that Chrissy’s thoughts were never normal.
“But are you sure Kailun will come here?” Vivian asked again.
“Of course. I’ve done my research. He seems to care about you a lot, so he’ll come to you often. He just came back yesterday, so there’s a high chance he’ll come today. So, what we need to do is hide and ambush him. We’ll make him cry for help, but no one will come to save him!”
After adding the drug to the teapot, Chrissy lit some incense.
She took out an antidote from her pocket and handed it to Vivian. “Take it. This is the antidote. Otherwise, you’ll be affected by the incense soon. Let me tell you, this tea and incense are very potent. Conservatively, we can hold Kailun for five hours.”
Vivian took the antidote. “I told you, I’m not that kind of person!”
Chrissy: “Then give me back the antidote. I’ll do it alone.”
“I can’t take it back after giving it to you. I don’t care.” Vivian stepped back, barefoot on the carpet.
Chrissy patted Vivian’s shoulder with the air of someone experienced. “That’s right. Don’t suppress your desires. I can tell, you’re the same kind of person as me.”
“Who’s the same kind of person as you? Don’t slander me!”
Vivian pushed Chrissy away with a headache. “You’re a plush ball, and I’m…”
She couldn’t define her relationship with Kailun. Calling them friends seemed too shallow, while calling them close friends seemed too promiscuous.
She couldn’t be considered a wife or a concubine, but she was definitely not a plush ball.
The excited Chrissy didn’t wait for Vivian’s answer. She continued making her arrangements, even changing her stockings in front of Vivian.
She replaced her original black stockings with black and white over-the-knee socks. To emphasize the asymmetrical aesthetic, she also styled her golden hair into two ponytails of different heights.
Under Vivian’s speechless gaze, Chrissy shortened her skirt to the point where no special effort was needed to see her spring scenery.
Vivian only needed to turn her head slightly to see the outline of Chrissy’s perky bottom.
Vivian: “…”
Her feelings were very complicated now. The person standing before her was not only a lustful “plush ball” but also a hardcore “grind king.”
Chrissy was using her shameless methods to raise Kailun’s “threshold.” It was imaginable that everyone would only become more competitive in the future.
Damn the grind kings!
She looked at her bare feet and thought for a moment. Then she went to the wardrobe and found a new pair of white stockings to put on.
This was considered winning a round.
Seeing Chrissy’s teasing gaze, Vivian blushed. “What are you looking at? Can’t I wear stockings because my feet are cold?”
Chrissy: “You can wear two pairs if one isn’t enough.”
“Shut up! Leave me alone.”
Vivian glared at Chrissy, hugged a pillow, and sat on the bed. While Chrissy wasn’t paying attention, she quickly popped the antidote into her mouth.
She didn’t know if it was the incense in the room, but she felt her body getting hot.
For the plan to succeed, Chrissy hid under the bed.
Because the floor was covered with clean carpet, Chrissy didn’t have to worry about her carefully prepared clothes getting dirty.
Not long after she hid, Kailun appeared at the door.
She heard Kailun greet Vivian and then sit down at the table, chatting about trivial matters.
‘He really didn’t notice me!’
This thought popped into Chrissy’s mind. Before coming, she had specifically taken a potion to mask her aura. It seemed to be working.
“Long time no see. Did you miss me?”
“Yes, I want to tie you to a pillar and whip you.”
“That’s not a good idea. Physical punishment is the lowest form of punishment. By the way, why is there a strange fragrance in the room?”
“Oh, it’s for sleep.”
“By the way, I learned a new and interesting magic spell. Do you want to see it?”
“…”
Listening to their conversation, Chrissy felt a strange excitement.
Excited, she took off something to lower her body temperature.
But for some reason, this excitement gradually faded, and she felt sleepy. So she rested her head on her hand and took a nap.
This nap led Chrissy into a deep sleep.
“Yo, there’s a big one hiding here. It seems my luck is quite good today.”
Kailun stopped channeling his magic power and squatted down beside the bed, poking Chrissy’s cheek with his freshly washed finger.
The magic he had just cast was called “Hypnosis…” He couldn’t remember the exact name. It was from Kailson, who loved to research.
He felt that he should give Kailson a researcher position.
“What’s wrong?”
Vivian, sitting on the bed, shook her drowsy head. She blinked and looked at Kailun, who was squatting beside the bed, with concern.
Stupid Chrissy, the plan failed before it even started.
Now, she was the only one awake. She didn’t even know what kind of torture she would face later.
“Nothing, just caught a cat stealing fish.”
Kailun pulled Chrissy out from under the bed and threw her onto the bed.
As Chrissy fell, Kailun saw her skirt fly up, revealing a flash of white.
Not bad. This was very Chrissy.
“By the way, do you know what kind of punishment is considered a punishment for Chrissy?” Kailun asked Vivian.
Vivian: “What?”
Kailun answered seriously, “Getting it, but only in a dream.”
Vivian: “???”
