Chapter 274: Bustling Streets

After dressing up, Zen decided to head out when Lena gave no response to him.

"W-Wait a minute…" Lena suddenly shouted aloud.

Zen halted his footsteps as he turned around and faced Lena. "What's the matter now?"

"I-I don't have any new clothes to change into…" Lena said in a somewhat bashful tone. 

Zen raised an eyebrow before looking deeply into her eyes. "You meant to say that you have been wanting to go with me but because you didn't have any new clothes… you decided to stand still?"

Lena avoided his eye contact, proving his words to be true. 

Zen began laughing heartily as he activated his spatial ring. Soon, multiple clothes began landing on the bed as Zen teased Lena.

"You could have just said so from the get-go instead of wasting our time," Zen said as he sat on a chair. 

"Go on, pick the clothes you want, and change into them. We don't want to miss the event," he added.

Lena nodded her head.

Afterward, she stood up and began choosing the new clothes in a blissful expression.

Lena proceeded to spend the next few hours deciding which clothes to wear as she kept on picking them up and glancing at the mirror.

Zen almost fell back to sleep because it had been a long time already. 

'It's just some clothes… do we really need to spend hours on it?' Zen cried inwardly as he looked at the time.

It was getting more late, and Zen was sure if this continued on, then he might as well skip the event altogether.

Finally, Lena suddenly stopped her picking as she smiled at a glamorous dress in her hand.

"You found one at last?" Zen asked.

"Un, this one is the best for me," Lena replied blissfully before tears started dripping down from the corner of her ears.

"I-I don't even know how long it has been before I get to wear these nice clothes again." She mumbled.

Although it was in a low tone, Zen was able to hear her words and decided not to reprimand her for wasting so much time.

'Sigh, I'll just let it pass this time since you never wore any clothes previously.' Zen exclaimed inwardly as he remained sitting.

When he first met with Lena, Zen had noticed the ragged clothes on her and it was given since they were struggling to make ends meet. 

Being an elf in a human kingdom, added to the fact of their unique feature and the current human mindset. There was prone to be prejudice against them or worse, people wanting to sell them off to corrupted nobles.

After all, elves are highly sought after by the wealthy to turn them into a plaything.

As Zen sighed softly for the fate of Lena and Angela, Lena began fidgeting with her hands.

"Are there any problems with the dress?" Zen asked kindly when he noticed her uneasiness.

Lena shook her head.

"Nothing wrong with the dress… but how can I change when you're still here?" Lena said, reminding Zen he was still present in the room.

Zen smirked as he curled his lips upward. "I'm not going to move from my position."

"W-What do you mean?"

"Well, we had already kissed and I groped your voluptuous breast last night. Did you think I would care if I saw you naked?"

"S-S-Shameless." Lena pouted as she tried to dash away from the room to change somewhere else.

Alas, Zen extended his hand and pulled her back to his embrace. 

"If you don't change here then how are you going to get an opinion from me on how you look?" Zen asked cheekily.

Lena's face was flushed with redness as she wiggled around to free herself. 

"Don't forget you're dating my daughter." Lena hurriedly shouted. "It's immoral of you to be hitting on the mother."

Zen shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm a man of culture and I'm not brainless like these humans. Don't brand me as the same as those disgusting men." Zen snorted as he snapped his finger.

Soon, his essence flame appeared in Lena's clothes and began burning them into a crisp.

However, Lena remained unharmed as she held a gawking expression when the essence flame didn't harm her in any bit.

'S-Such precise control in alchemy flame.' Lena gasped in surprise, forgetting the fact that she was slowly turning nude with her clothes disappearing.

It only took her a few moments later to realize that she was stark naked in front of Zen.

"Ahhhh," Lena screamed in horror as she tried to cover her breast and pussy with her hands.

Zen chuckled softly as he leered her up and down. "My goodness, your assets and body figure are really alluring."

Zen began complimenting her body figure as he could tell from her proportional size was exactly what any horny man would lust after.

Hearing the teasing and his intense stare at her naked body, Lena's pointy ears turned completely red as she used her dress to cover her body.

"T-Turn around," Lena commanded.

"No can do." Zen shook his head. "Either you change right now or I can continue to see you naked."

Zen smiled cheekily as he continued to teased her, "I forgot to tell you but with my current prowess. I can see your glistening bareback and bountiful ass."

Lena grumbled in anger as she quickly changed into her dress under Zen's eyesight.

By the time she finished, there was a strong murderous intent emitting from her.

"You're going to pay for this humiliation." Lena spatted, hoping to scare Zen in the meantime for teasing her.

Zen nodded his head. "Whatever you say, we're late for the event already."

Afterward, Zen vanished from his position as he held Lena by the waist. 

"Close your eyes," Zen warned.

Lena didn't know why but she listened to Zen's instruction as she closed her eyes, not daring to open them until Zen ordered her to.

Zen grinned evilly as he used his teleportation skill to teleport them to the bustling streets directly.
