And from her intoxicated look, it didn’t seem like she was going to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, she liked it a bit more than necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s stop here for now. We still have to return. Senior Owen might already have subdued that QueenBee by now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As much as Soren also wanted to continue, after getting the quest, he had to stop, even if he didn’t want to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why did I get a quest all of a sudden?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soren was a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Elise somehow got interested in him due to his fight before, the quest should have activated a bit earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not like now, where he was already being so passionate with Aurelia. Unless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did that girl follow me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soren suddenly remembered some information from the game and hurriedly opened his inventory, only to see a small portion of honey missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t know Elise’s real class and skill from the game, he wouldn’t even have noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tch...so that girl really followed me, huh, and perhaps even saw us kissing just now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it all made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that didn’t mean everything was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, he now had to complete a 4-star quest, all because someone got curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a headache!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Y-Yeah...he might be angry at you though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia seemed a bit disappointed, but didn’t show it. Rather, she readily agreed with Soren, pushed him away a bit, and made herself presentable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did she realize how rough Soren was with her as she found her long gown crumpled everywhere, especially behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she couldn’t help but get shy, her ears turning crimson. Even now, she couldn’t look directly at his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips were still hurting a bit due to their intense session. Truly, she never knew that she was such a passionate girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did Soren corrupt me or what?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Aurelia was trying to find an excuse, Soren suddenly grabbed her chin and lifted her head, making her forcefully look at his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Soren...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without caring to explain, he gently and carefully rubbed her swollen lips, using mana to soothe the pain and reduce the swelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after that did he lean a bit low before giving her a light smooch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, you look fine now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then spoke to her with a handsome smile, making Aurelia a bit dazed. He was so smooth the entire time that she didn’t even resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, now that she looked at Soren directly, she realized he seemed even more striking than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this wasn’t her imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly looked regal, with a rare and commanding aura all his own. She could suddenly feel his every movement, every glance carried a confidence that wasn’t there before, strangely pulling her to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What happened?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Aurelia wondered whether this was the so-called love effect that a girl feels toward a boy when she falls in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard about it in stories, that a girl who falls in love would automatically find the boy incredibly more charming than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe she was experiencing that herself, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia was getting more and more confused when suddenly she felt Soren hug her waist before retracing the path they had traveled before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when they were near the previous location did he let her go from his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Aurelia’s identity was a bit sensitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for Soren, he didn’t want to be seen by others like this. At least, not until he made a name for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he saw that Aurelia didn’t seem to mind, or rather seemed too busy thinking about something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Owen, it seems you have already taken care of everything. Thank you for your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, just as Soren thought, by now Owen had already taken care of the massive monster from before, as the battlefield was already silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he was standing with his Golem and the twin sisters, Elara and Elise Vans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Soren couldn’t help but look at the twin sisters, who looked exactly the same no matter which angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his Keen Sight failed to find any difference between them from their appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Soren still recognized them apart, all because of the dodging eyes of Elise and the slight red unconscious hue on her cheek when his gaze fell on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch...you are really bold. After doing such a thing, you dare return? Didn’t you say we would meet at the club? Why are you here again after running away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he looked further, though, Owen’s cold voice brought his attention back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, looking at his dark face, he seemed a bit angry at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Soren knew how to handle the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha...Senior, I was just joking, you see. The situation was quite serious at that time, and I had to get rid of the Queen’s aggro fast as my skill’s time was running out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Soren really didn’t want to return, not when Owen was still angry about the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the impromptu quest forced him to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he could only grit his teeth and took out a large portion of the comb dripping with honey directly from his inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Owen, look, I will give you this for your help, okay? Can you forgive me now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wanted to give nothing, the situation was against him. What could he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he shouldn’t have said such words to Owen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Owen was still the same greedy person he remembered. The moment the comb appeared, he waved his hand, directly storing it into his inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even let a drop of it fall on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Soren couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I forgive you for today. But don’t be cheeky with me later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owen acted completely oblivious, as if he wasn’t the one who just did that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, he lightly tapped Soren before giving a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations! You two have successfully passed my trial. You both are now members of my Trade Circle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Owen’s way of talking with Soren had completely changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If before he only cared for Aurelia, who was with him, now he really saw potential in Soren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially his ability to find their location despite using such a high-ranking concealing artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really wanted to ask how he did that, but he felt that Soren mightn’t reveal his secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, after being in the club for a while, he would find out sooner or later anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after patting Soren, Owen finally looked at the twin sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for you two...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, I got this much too. Did we pass your trial?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owen was about to magnanimously let both of them join the club, but Elise beat him to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her hand was a cube of Golden Nectar floating slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although its size was nowhere near what Soren just took out, that didn’t matter here, did it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Cough...okay, it seems you twin sisters passed the trial too. Welcome to the club.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1217,"2026-05-30T05:30:18.610Z","2026-06-01T04:30:25.847Z",1,"novelbin.me","d30087a05c7783303c1b8450858cf8443dc05fe93f2b44480149947437d377ae","trapped-as-an-npc-in-a-dating-sim-chapter-97","trapped-as-an-npc-in-a-dating-sim-chapter-95",175,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftrapped-as-an-npc-in-a-dating-sim-cover.jpg"]
