The entrance felt cool.
Perhaps because Bird One was currently in a deep sleep, her body temperature was lower than usual.
Right now, saving people came first, so Ethan naturally had no extra thoughts.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
Very soon.
Ethan sensed traces of faint poisonous mist gathering toward his mouth.
[Poison Dispersion: EXP +2]
[Poison Dispersion: EXP +3]
[Poison Dispersion...]
It was easy to imagine how terrifying the toxicity of the Netherworld Incense was.
Ethan was only removing the poison from her body, yet he was still gaining experience points?
"I can suck."
"I can suck it all out!"
Ethan worked hard to absorb the poisonous gas from Bird One's body.
However, the main effect of the Netherworld Incense was to make people fall asleep and eventually die in their sleep.
As Ethan removed the poisonous gas from Bird One's body, she naturally began waking up little by little. At first, she felt that something was strange and nearly jumped up in fright.
But she discovered that her whole body was weak, like the day after intense exercise, when you couldn't gather any strength at all. Even moving a finger felt difficult.
But in order to figure out...
'What exactly happened to me?'
Bird One still forced herself to open her heavy eyelids. Even though she only managed to open them a tiny bit... she still clearly saw that the person kissing her was...
'Lord Ethan?'
At that moment, Bird One almost opened her eyes wide.
But in the next moment, her heart began pounding rapidly.
After all, in the entire territory, who didn't like Lord Ethan?
'Lord Ethan is handsome and powerful...'
'And he cares about his subordinates too.'
'But...'
'Why is Lord Ethan secretly kissing me?'
'Could it be because Lord Ethan likes me?'
'Ah!'
'So embarrassing!'
At a time like this, should she cooperate a little, or should she keep pretending to sleep and act like she didn't know?
'Huh?'
'Why did Lord Ethan suddenly leave?'
Before Bird One could decide how to react, she noticed that Ethan had suddenly moved away from her.
This left Bird One puzzled, but because she had been pretending to sleep the whole time, she didn't immediately open her eyes.
Only after a long while, when she was sure Ethan probably wouldn't be coming back for now, she quietly turned her head and looked toward him.
Then, she suddenly discovered that...
'Lord Ethan is kissing Bird Two?'
Bird One could no longer hold back her feelings and abruptly opened her eyes wide.
Ethan naturally had no idea that Bird One had already woken up.
Right now, he was diligently absorbing the poison from Bird Two. Once the poison experience value dropped to zero, it meant there was no poison left in their bodies.
Then he could move on to the next person.
Just then, Bird Two's eyelashes trembled a few times, and then she suddenly opened her eyes.
Her reaction was almost the same as Bird One's. At first, she wanted to jump up, but when she discovered that the person on top of her was Lord Ethan, Bird Two calmed down and simply stared at him.
"Oh, you're awake?"
When Ethan saw Bird Two wake up, not only did he show no sign of panic, there was even a trace of joy on his face.
When Bird Two saw Ethan move away from her, she suddenly felt a little lost. At the same time, she felt embarrassed and immediately didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a while, she finally managed to say a few words.
"L-Lord Ethan, this... this is..."
"I don't have time to explain everything right now. I'll tell you later."
When Ethan saw that Bird Two had woken up, he immediately moved over to Bird Three without another word.
Because he had already spent time treating Bird One and Bird Two, quite a while had passed before reaching Bird Three.
Ethan was afraid that if Bird Three was delayed too long, she might not wake up.
So he had no time to explain anything to Bird Two.
He directly shifted from Bird Two's mouth to Bird Three's mouth.
Bird Two's expression changed from slight embarrassment to shock, and finally to anger and disappointment. She couldn't understand how Lord Ethan could do such a thing.
'How could he...'
'How could he be so fickle and like so many people at the same time?'
"Bird Two."
At this moment, a hand quietly reached over and held Bird Two's hand.
Bird Two turned her head and saw that it was Bird One, who was also crying from sadness. She immediately understood.
"Could it be that Lord Ethan..."
"Mhm."
Bird One gave a slight nod.
The disbelief on Bird Two's face grew even stronger, along with even more anger.
She tried hard to sit up and question Lord Ethan about why he was doing this.
But she discovered that she couldn't gather any strength in her body.
Until... Bird Three finally slowly woke up from her sleep as well.
"Lord Ethan!"
Bird Three suddenly sat up and even slammed her head into Ethan's head.
Fortunately, Ethan was tough-skinned and wasn't hurt. Looking at Bird Three, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Whew! Good thing I made it in time! I thought I was too late!"
"Too late for what?", Bird Three had a straightforward personality and immediately asked, "Were you afraid you'd realize you liked me too late?"
