Chapter 667 : Clash Under the Undercurrent
"My head hurts."
Felyn squatted on the ground, watching the downpour outside on the street.
Eitani had left in a fit of anger.
Seraphina should now be...
The entire dragon should be delirious by now.
Now he was going to be attacked by the dual resentment of the Demon King's daughter and the Dragon Lady.
He wanted to catch both, but ended up catching neither, and they both shattered on the ground.
It seems he can't be so greedy in the future.
He really couldn't handle non-human girls.
When arguing with the other young ladies, if they wanted to leave, he could still try to keep them.
Even if they got in a car and drove away, he could still appear in their rearview mirror, standing in place and bowing in apology.
But Eitani left directly with transfer magic, giving him no chance at all.
Felyn stretched out his hand, feeling the heavy rain pound against his palm.
The rain was heavy.
Now, without a communication art seal and no umbrella, he could only wait for the rain to stop before leaving to buy a new one.
But could Seraphina hold on?
Felyn could imagine Seraphina's body twitching uncontrollably from the waves of impact within her.
At this moment, she must be desperately trying to call him, her pink-tinted fingers frantically tapping messages on the art seal.
Miss Seraphina, it's not that I'm intentionally not answering. Eitani burned my communication art seal.
Felyn glanced at his watch. If the rain didn't stop within half an hour, Seraphina would probably be a goner.
Then the next time he saw her, he would definitely be a goner too.
Accompanying a young lady is like accompanying a tiger. Whoever said being a gigolo was easy, stand up!
"Clatter."
The sound of an object falling came from a distance.
Felyn looked in the direction of the sound and saw an umbrella lying at a corner not far away.
"Is my luck turning around?"
Felyn didn't hesitate. He rushed over, picked up the umbrella, and immediately dashed towards the nearest art seal shop.
The nearest art seal shop was a half-hour walk away. Without an umbrella, Felyn would have to walk in the rain for half an hour in winter. He would surely collapse on the way.
---
Felyn walked away.
At the corner, a figure silently emerged from the shadows.
Short, black curly hair brushed against shoulders soaked by the rain.
White was not suitable for lurking in the night.
She tugged at her black silk maid top. Under the tight hip-hugging skirt were black stockings drenched by the rain.
The white cuffs and the small white apron tied around her waist were also stained with water.
"It's all wet..."
---
A voice, angry yet wet and viscous, came from the communication art seal.
Like hot porridge that had been simmering for a long time.
"Where did you go? Why... why did you leave me just now? Do you know what I... what I've been through... this past hour..."
"I'm sorry, Miss Seraphina. Are you okay?"
"Not okay!"
Seraphina didn't dare look at the floor beneath her. It had taken her ten minutes to get up from the floor to go to the kitchen for water.
She was very thirsty now.
"Felyn, were you... were you doing this on purpose?"
"How could I, Miss Seraphina? My communication art seal broke just now. I just bought a new one."
Seraphina bit her lip, her legs too weak to stand.
She was in great discomfort, desperately wanting to find someone to release it all with.
"Felyn, I'm begging you. Don't leave me this time." She knelt by the dining table, her hands gripping the table leg, her fingers restlessly roaming over her body.
"I understand, Miss Seraphina. This time, you can take as long as you want."
As long as you want.
---
Two hours later.
The rain stopped.
Felyn's throat was about to give out.
That was way too long.
Tonight's farce ended with Seraphina falling into a deep sleep.
The Dragon Lady was appeased, but the Demon King's daughter was not.
Felyn sent many messages to Eitani, but received no reply.
There really wasn't a good solution at the moment. He couldn't possibly rush to the 100th floor of the dungeon to find Eitani.
He'd let it cool down for a day or two. After a day or two, the young lady's mood should be a little better. He would try messaging her again then.
Just in time, during this period, he could also investigate the Silafiel family's matter by Fiorella's side and find out which prince or princess Waldrick was secretly cooperating with.
Felyn also wanted to contribute to this matter, because...
Because Viloti was also his girlfriend.
---
By the time Felyn returned to Adelina's home, it was late at night.
Adelina had messaged Felyn earlier, saying she would be staying at the Claude family mansion for the next few days and wouldn't be returning to the small villa.
But tonight, Felyn saw the villa's lights on from a distance.
As luck would have it, Adelina had returned tonight.
He sniffed his clothes. Fortunately, the downpour had washed away Eitani's scent.
Felyn stood at the door, suddenly feeling as if he had just returned from a tryst, afraid of being discovered by his wife.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The sound of slippers on the floor came quickly.
The door opened.
The warmth from inside the room instantly enveloped Felyn. His world was lit by the warm yellow light shining through the crack in the door.
Adelina was wearing a light blue pajama set. The close-fitting cotton clothes couldn't hide her figure at all, making Felyn want to pull the warm and full-bodied her into his arms.
Her rose-tea colored long hair was coiled behind her, and her grayish-blue eyes quickly scanned Felyn.
She twirled her hair with her finger. "Didn't expect me to be back, did you?"
After speaking, Adelina even looked behind Felyn.
She was checking if Felyn had brought a girl home.
"Come in. I thought you weren't coming home tonight."
"You were just worried I brought a girl home, weren't you?" Felyn said as he took off his shoes. "I would never do that."
He walked into the living room and saw a casserole on the dining table, filled with steaming hot seafood congee.
"How could I be? I'm very magnanimous."
Adelina took Felyn's hand and led him to the dining table.
She leaned over Felyn and sniffed him gently.
"But my magnanimity has its limits, Mr. Felyn. You can't mess around in front of me, especially... you can't bring other girls into my home."
Her hand caressed Felyn's neck, then pinched his cheek. "Other than that, I don't mind how many girls Mr. Felyn dates."
Adelina's smile was very gentle.
But the young lady's eyes were not gentle.
「If you dare to date so many girls that you have no time for me, then you're dead.」 Felyn read this emotion in Adelina's eyes.
"I-it won't be that many..."
"Not that many? It seems Mr. Felyn already has a reservation in mind. Let me guess..." Adelina served Felyn a bowl of congee, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and then fed it to him.
"Miss Zervanie will definitely be your future lover. Miss Daiyi is also possible, but not certain. A total of four girlfriends shouldn't be too many, right, Mr. Felyn?"
"Adelina, can you not call me Mr. Felyn... It sounds so awkward."
"Mr. Felyn sounds so nice, like my husband. If I don't please you now, when will I? When you return to the Royal Capital District, that group of young ladies will be like hungry bears waking from hibernation, rushing over to divide you up. I'm very clear about their thoughts right now."
Adelina was not wrong. At this moment, the group of young ladies in the Royal Capital District were like ants on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around.
They indeed couldn't leave the Royal Capital District.
But that didn't mean they wouldn't send people to Felyn's side to investigate and protect him.
They were all young ladies from powerful families. It was normal for them to have some connections in Seiwa.
For example, right now, if it weren't for the Claude family guards surrounding Adelina's villa, several people would have already approached.
The war of love had begun silently.
This time, it was a clash like an undercurrent.
---
The next day, it was still a rainy day.
Fiorella stood by the corridor of the Claes family's courtyard, looking at the dark clouds that lingered in the sky.
She didn't have the habit of sighing, because once she sighed, she was afraid she would no longer be able to stand firm in the torrent of life.
But looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Fiorella really wanted to sigh.
On her first date with Mr. Felyn, they encountered such bad weather.
"Fiorella, you seem a little different today."
"I-is that so?" Fiorella, faced with the other maid's questioning, shyly touched the two blue hair clips on her head.
"Of course, of course. You're wearing lipstick. You're usually reluctant to wear it. Could it be that you're going on a date with someone?"
