Chapter 238 No Protection



"Deserve her trust"

These words of Irene put Seth's mind in the midst of a little storm as he was now left to figure out whether the woman had been sincere or not given the should-be secret things he knew.

As his mind mulled over these issues, it couldn't help but trail a little further than it should on the memory lane, bringing up a memory that brought a smile and chuckle to Seth.

"What is it" a voice suspiciously asked the owner moving to begin checking her body and surroundings and making sure no trick had been pulled on her.

"I just remembered how a certain someone avoided me days ago on the precept of not wasting time when the truth was that she was scared of my cock" Seth said, earning himself the face of a blushing and scowling face of Irene.

With a huff, Irene ignored Seth and went back to setting up the spot where she and Seth would lie for the night.

It had been 3 days since they left Tillip, 3 days of constant movement, and a few lucrative leisures and carnal pleasures.

With a three day journey behind them, Seth and Irene had long since left the protection of the forest and been forced to withstand the gaze of the cruel sun as they traverse a godforsaken plain that seemed to seek their deaths.

Other than brown, the plain seemed to have been stripped of any other color, and unless one looked up to the sky, they would think they were in a world of brown.

Brown earth, brown grasses, and even the few trees they had come across were all brown, and all these pointed to the possibility of desertification occurring in this region and the chance that it might spread, but this problem wasn't Irene's or Seth's.

Unfortunately for Seth, they had left the brown plain early evening of the last day and had then begun climbing the Stoney Mountains.

While Seth trudged through the unforgiving sun, lifting his leg high with each step and having to bear the heat from both the sun and the stupid rocks, Irene merely floated to the top of the mountain.

Luckily for Seth, it had been evening, and after traveling nonstop for three days, Irene had thankfully suggested they take a break.

Mountains especially rocky ones were usually habituated by huge beasts and after a few scans from Irene, she had almost immediately found the unhabituated cave they were now staying.

…presently in the cave…..

"Done" the voice of Iren sounded, some minutes after being laughed at by Seth.

She sat on the relatively thick beading she had just put together and then looked at Seth said.

"Since your so good at laughing, then why don't you laugh the whole night, I'll see you tomorrow," Irene said placing herself diagonally on the makeshift bed, making sure Seth had no way to join her.

Watching her antics Seth could only smile as he sat to the side, his eyes staring at the light fire burning to the side as he went over the map Irene had given him.

When Seth had been told he needed to go to the problematic dungeon to find soul fruits, he had envisioned himself fighting a hired of musters to get his hands on them, but reality proved different.

Though he had most likely left Ashad and been forced to come to this world, the thought that the soul fruits lay in a place free from monsters was quite a shock to Seth.

Other than the vast distance and the beast which wandered their path, the location of the soul fruits had no particular guard or terrifying beast surrounding it, these were Iren words, but Seth liked to think otherwise, nothing so valuable and rare could be so easy to get.

Seth's musings over this little finding didn't last long as a rock flew off from the ground and came soaring towards him, forcing him to reach out and grab it out of the air and then turn to its shooter.

"Hmm don't look at me like that, I have no interest in carrying you if you develop back pain or your legs get paralyzed, so get over here," Irene said moving to the side with a scowl and making space for Seth.

Deciding not to make a fuss, Seth stood and moved to Irene's side, lying beside her, yet before he could fall asleep, he felt Irene push apart his hands and rest her head on his chest and entangling her legs with his.

All was quiet in the cave till eventually, Irene broke the silence.

"Why did you go forcing yourself to climb, we could have covered more ground if you had just let me carry you" Irene berated from atop his chest.

To Irene's words, Seth had no answer so he kept mum.

"Tomorrow I'll carry you so we go quickly get past these mountains okay," Irene said, and this time she raised her head to look at Seth, prompting the man to nod his head in acquiescence to her words.

"Good," Irene said with a nod.

"Aren't you worried about being this close to me?" Seth asked genuinely curious.

Seconds of Silence passed, and just when Seth was about t give up, figuring Irene wouldn't answer his question he saw her raise her head and look at him in disappointment.

"What's the matter," Seth asked, not getting her grievances.

Irene let out a sigh seeing Seth's cluelessness and then thy next instant moved her head over Seth's and kissed him.

It wasn't until Irene began kissing him that Seth understood her intentions. It wasn't that Seth was clueless to such moves, but that he had thought he was dealing with stoic and grouchy Irene.

Had Seth known horny Irene was around he would have long since had his cock down her throat and choking her.

"Well better late than never," Seth thought with a grin flipping Irene over, more than ready to go into action.
