Chapter 105: Small conversations

"It's a Dragon Physique," he said, shattering the women's expectations like a mirror breaking into pieces... They didn't know what to do. They simply lost all composure.

"Dear..." Samira murmured. "Y-yes?" Strax asked, feeling a bit scared seeing the blank look on her face. He had never seen her so serious before. "Are you okay, dear?" Strax continued, since Samira didn't respond immediately.

The first thing she did was sit down again. Like a robot, she moved stiffly and there she was, between Beatrice and Monica. The silence was almost palpable... but it was broken by a long, heavy sigh...

"Ah~~" she sighed, as she mentally prepared to say something. "Why is it so hard to love a man in peace? He has to be a ticking time bomb of incessant craziness, damn it." She swore. Everyone didn't quite understand what had happened to her, but she seemed... disappointed? Well, that wasn't exactly what was on her mind.

She took a deep breath and continued, "How the hell am I supposed to keep up with someone with a Dragon Physique being just a human?!!" she yelled loudly, making the two women reflexively cover their ears...

"What?" Strax said, surprised by this crazy woman's reaction... she seemed extremely frustrated, but... why?

"Man... how do you do it? We met when you were just starting out in cultivation, and now look at you! You're already at master level at eighteen! Damn it! How am I supposed to keep up with you?!

I don't want to be left behind!" Samira roared, almost accusing him of a heinous crime. Well, to her, he was now a supercriminal who should be hunted down and punished!

Silence... just a long, tense silence where no one could say a word, but Strax couldn't hold back for long...

"Puff..." He tried not to laugh; he tried really hard to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't. He didn't want to, but it was stronger than him. Samira was so cute, so tiny and feisty. He loved this woman so much that he couldn't take her seriously... "Hahaha!!" He burst into laughter, breaking the silence, and that woman... she got furious...

"You bastard!" she said, standing up and launching herself to punch him. But Strax wasn't stupid. He wouldn't let this cute, feisty woman do whatever she wanted.

In the middle of her advance, he stopped laughing and turned, dodging her move at a high speed. But he didn't let it go. The dodge caught her off guard, and his hands slid over her and grabbed her waist, pulling her close to him, pressing their bodies together.

Samira immediately tried to break free, but the man's hands had already sealed her completely. She wasn't getting out of there.

"Hey, hey, calm down, warrior," Strax whispered in her ear, his voice carrying a mischievous tone he reserved only for moments like this. "I know this is a shock. Your husband is incredible; you should be happy, you know? But it's okay, I'm not trying to leave you behind. I'm here, with you, always...

"What? What do you mean! I'm sure Glacial Ice Manipulation only appeared once! Other times it was Ice Manipulation!" he roared at the system, which responded again.

[< Beta Version. >]

"Ah, go to hell then! I'm not going to consider any abilities from the beta version!" he shouted at the system, which responded only with cold silence...

[< ... >]

"Damn, if it's talking like that, how must the abilities tab look? No, damn it, I don't have time for this right now!" he said, returning to reality as he heard Monica talking about how the woman was...

"She's quite strange, the strong survive, and the weak die..." Monica recounted, but it wasn't anything too important, "Well, whatever. It's just an example, she's quite famous, but for some reason... I can't remember her name..." Monica was really trying, but "It's okay, dear, relax, I don't need to know her name." Strax said, and Monica nodded.

"Ah~ I'm tired." Beatrice said, already exhausted after everything that happened. "Darling... what exactly happened after they rescued me?" Strax loosened his hold on Samira and smiled at her, who smiled back and nodded. She went back and sat on the couch again while Strax sat on the other side, facing the three.

"Well... where do I start..." Strax murmured and heard a seductive voice internally, "Tell them about when you came to get us, and that 'I want both of you for myself!' and then took us with you," Ouroboros said with a smile that Strax could clearly feel even without seeing.

Strax remembered that moment, but... "Ah~ what a hassle." He murmured as he began to talk about how he acquired Ouroboros and Tiamat, but in a less explicit way about what he had said, which left them unhappy...

"Master, liar," Tiamat said, she seemed sulky, "Master liar!!" Ouroboros yelled at him while he talked about how he made the contract with the two, avoiding the part about "Be mine." Of course, that would irritate them since they had already agreed to be his!

Strax could feel the two swords trembling with anger and frustration, so he picked them up but... releasing his charm aura directly over the swords and giving a slap on the hilt of both...

"Anwn!" Ouroboros moaned loudly while placing her hands on her butt, which had a palm mark, "Mmm!" Tiamat also felt her butt receive a hard slap, but her moan was more restrained.

"Don't forget... just because I won't have fun with you, it doesn't mean I can't do these things to you. Behave!" Strax said, shouting in the spiritual world of their contract...

"Y-Yes." They agreed obediently, "We're sorry..." they murmured, but... they had a smile on their faces...
