This is a war!
Arthur's brain spun rapidly, his heart drumming in his chest as he forced down all his palpitations, sounding an alarm in his heart: "Listen, Arthur."
"You are a man who wants to possess an entire sea of flowers; how can you fall for just one?"
"It's not time to pull in the net yet, you must endure! This Gu Yue clearly wants to boil the frog in lukewarm water, taming you into a dog that only revolves around her!"
He gripped his bottom line tightly and set an iron rule for himself: Don't take the initiative, don't refuse.
First, max out everyone's favorability, and when the time is right, take them all into his arms—this was his ultimate plot.
In the past, facing the flirtatious glances and subtle confessions of various beauties, he had remained unmoved, relying on this ambition hidden in his heart.
He wanted to be everyone's dog, never to be monopolized by one person and reduced to her exclusive simp.
"Queen, I..." Arthur's Adam's apple bobbed; just as he was about to harden his heart and say something polite, Gu Yue suddenly leaned down.
That Silver Dragon King pressure that stood above all things actually dissipated silently at this moment.
The sense of being scrutinized from above suddenly vanished, and Gu Yue's slightly leaning body slowly softened.
Her previously tense back curved into a soft arc, and the pressure of her sitting on Arthur's waist lightened a bit.
"You don't need to call me Queen tonight." Her red lips parted slightly, her warm breath brushing against Arthur's lips, but the words she spoke made his brain buzz, "I am here to... serve you, Master."
She whispered those last two words very softly, with a strange tremor, creating a fatal contrast with her current queenly aura.
Oh! Damn it!
Why did she change her tactics today!
The coldness faded from Gu Yue's eyes, the corners of her eyes turned slightly red, and even her lips pursed into a soft curve.
She was no longer that Silver Dragon King who controlled everything, but rather like a little maid with her own little schemes.
Gu Yue's small hand gently caressed Arthur's cheek, deliberately slowing down her movements, stroking him bit by bit.
The ruffles of the maid outfit brushed against Arthur's collarbone, the soft fabric pressing against his skin, bringing a tingling itch.
Tilting her head slightly, Gu Yue's eyes curved into crescents, striking the most charmingly naive maid pose, her voice soft and sweet: "I used to be mean to you, but I won't be today... I'll be your exclusive maid, okay?"
Arthur: "?"
I'm swooning from the fragrance, fam.
His defenses were crumbling under this extreme contrast, and his Spiritual Power was even more turbulent, producing an unprecedentedly violent vibration.
"What happened!" The Holy Dragon King Guang ran out anxiously. Just now, Arthur's Sea of Consciousness had vibrated like never before, and he thought they were under attack.
But the moment he came out, he regretted it.
Seeing Arthur, who had been completely mesmerized by her, snap back to his senses because of Guang's interruption...
The originally gentle Gu Yue's gaze instantly turned cold, and she grabbed Guang, refining him in an instant!
"Boss, I was wrong!"
Guang was scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, desperately begging for mercy.
With a cold snort, Gu Yue stuffed him back into Arthur's body, then pressed her palm against Arthur's forehead, temporarily sealing his Sea of Consciousness.
Now there should be no more interruptions.
"Gu Yue, how about we leave it at that. I'm setting off tomorrow." Arthur forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, trying to regain his previous composure, but as soon as he finished speaking, his lips were gently pressed by Gu Yue's fingertip.
Gu Yue frowned slightly; with Guang's interruption, she also didn't quite know how to continue.
After thinking for a moment.
She took out a notebook.
"What... are you looking at?"
Ignoring Arthur's confusion, Gu Yue flipped through a few pages, nodded, and then put it away.
She slowly moved her body, sliding down from his waist and kneeling by the bed, her small hand gently holding Arthur's hand.
She pressed his palm against her cheek. With her warm skin against his palm, she narrowed her eyes slightly like a pampered kitten, her voice clingy: "A maid should please her Master, should it be like this?"
As she spoke, her other hand gently stroked Arthur's arm, moving all the way up from his wrist, her movements soft and slow.
She leaned forward slightly, the neckline of the maid outfit opening a bit to reveal her slender collarbones, which glowed translucent white in the dim light.
"Master is leaving tomorrow," she lowered her voice even more, leaning into Arthur's ear.
Her warm breath swept across his ear, carrying a tantalizing sweetness, "Should the maid massage Master's shoulders? Or... pound Master's legs? Whatever Master wants me to do, I'll listen."
Then she sat back on Arthur's body, but no longer in a condescending way; instead, she curled her body slightly and buried her face in the crook of his neck, their silver-gray long hair wrapping them together.
Her small hand gently looped around his neck, her voice gentle: "Master must remember, no matter how far you go, you must think of your little maid... otherwise, the little maid will be Life Qi."
"Fine, you win." Arthur returned Gu Yue's hug, holding her in his arms: "I'll make an exception and be your dog today, only for tonight."
..."Arthur, what is our relationship now?"
"Don't talk, keep eating."
Don't get the wrong idea, it was just kissing... Day broke, and the morning in Shrek City was still quiet. A thin layer of morning frost lay in the courtyard of the Blacksmith Association. Mu Chen, Zhen Hua, and Mu Ye were already waiting at the door when they saw the two walking out side by side.
They had strange expressions on their faces.
Gu Yue looked refreshed and walked past them to leave as if no one else was there.
"Heh, he's grown up." Mu Ye said happily.
Zhen Hua also smiled and handed over a storage spirit tool: "Kid, the dry rations and spirit tools for the road are all ready. We've already spoken to the Blood God Legion, and the recommendation letter was given to you yesterday."
Arthur took another storage device: "Wasn't it given yesterday?"
"We were afraid it wouldn't be enough."
Mu Chen frowned slightly as he watched Gu Yue's departing figure, then sighed and looked at Arthur: "Little Arthur, you also know I don't have much left here."
"I'll send it to you once I catch that bastard Agravaine."
"It's... it's fine." Arthur wiped away non-existent cold sweat: "You already gave it to me, Teacher."
"I did?" Mu Chen scratched his head.
"You did." Arthur said seriously.
After saying their goodbyes one by one, Arthur turned and set off on his journey, his figure quickly disappearing into the morning mist without any hesitation.
He didn't circulate his Soul Power to rush at full speed; instead, he followed his own thoughts, walking toward the distance step by step.
Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.
Speaking of which, since Arthur came to this World, he hadn't had a good look at the scenery in various places.
Arthur traveled light, as everything was packed in his storage device.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the Holy Dragon King Guang huddled in a corner. He hadn't dared to breathe all night, for fear of provoking some undeserved disaster.
Gu Yue's terrifying expression from last night was still etched in his mind.
