Who said it would definitely take a long time?
Bold Mermaid Princess, how dare you question my abilities!!?
Just wait, I will find an opportunity to show you my might!
But Fremay looked at Herbert's furious expression, even more puzzled.
"What are you talking about? How long would it take to kiss me? If you hadn't dodged, we would have already... wait!"
Suddenly, the Sea Siren below realized something, and her face instantly turned crimson.
"You you you, what were you thinking just now! I didn't mean it that way, I really didn't..."
Fremay hurriedly let go, covering her face, wanting to escape from Herbert's side, but was pulled back.
Unexpectedly, Herbert directly pulled the flustered Mermaid Miss into his arms.
At this moment, the young man who was reluctant just now had changed his expression, smiling, "Where do you want to go?"
Fremay wanted to explain, but her lips were directly sealed.
Taking advantage of her shocked moment, Herbert wrapped his arms around her slender waist, holding her tightly to his chest.
The previously helpless little lamb suddenly revealed her true nature in front of the ferocious big gray wolf—with a blink, transforming into a more savage beast!
Yes, the real hunter often appears in the form of prey.
This sister who considers herself the hunter, you are the challenger!
At this point, do you still want to run?
The roles of offense and defense have reversed!
This time, they didn't separate as quickly as before.
Herbert gently kissed Fremay, using all his skills, and tenderly explored.
Gradually feeling her originally tense body slowly relax, collapsing softly into his embrace like a dead fish, only then did they separate.
Fremay looked bewildered, feeling as if half of her soul had been hollowed out, and her whole being felt lightheaded.
This... what's going on?
Why does it feel completely different from before?
Even with this already , then...
Herbert, looking at her dazed expression, licked his lips and smiled, "Is this customer satisfied?"
"Don't be nervous, since you just asked so, I must satisfy you well."
Fremay blinked, suddenly realizing the current situation was very dangerous, forced herself to be stable, and said, "You, don't mess around, at least let's change a place..."
Really want to do it here?
Herbert shook his head with a soft laugh, gently patted her head, indicating for her to be at ease, "Don't worry, I won't be that hasty."
He didn't intend to proceed directly now, as the time and place were inappropriate.
He's not a lecherous ghost, nor does he want to create such frivolous memories.
At the same time, Herbert is not someone who would suffer losses.
"However, you must also pay the price for your words and actions just now... personally pay the price."
"The mistakes you made, you have to resolve them personally."
He raised his hand, gently touching the top of the mermaid miss's reddened head, softly saying, "Come, do as I say."
"If you try hard enough, it will be over soon."
The mermaid miss hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse, and slowly nodded under Herbert's expectant gaze.
Maybe, she's always been anticipating something as well.
Not long after, melodious wind chime sounds rang from behind the curtain of water.
Jingle jingle~ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
While the two of them were playing a melody with the wind chimes...
Valentina was sleeping nearby.
Although they were only separated by a thin curtain of water, the shadows cast upon it, and she could see everything happening on the other side with just one look.
But Valentina was sleeping.
Poor Miss Hungry Dragon knew nothing about what was happening beside her...
She even slept more soundly to the rhythmic wind chime accompaniment!
Under Fremay's effort and Herbert's sincere guidance, the two left the Third Commandment Hall smoothly after spending slightly more time than expected.
Fremay didn't change into a nun's outfit like Valentina, but wore a luxurious gown as if attending a ball.
Unlike the commotion Valentina deliberately caused before, her departure this time was particularly quiet.
She followed Herbert lightly and silently.
Facing the varied gazes from other cultivators, her reaction was very calm.
Her entire aura exuded a sense of obedience and contentment.
The Rusted Nail Bishop was not among those witnessing Fremay walk out of the cell, he had already accepted that Herbert would be leaving with the Monster Girl.
Although he didn't approve of it, he had no intention of stopping them, preferring to ignore what he couldn't change.
Though the Thorn Bishop appeared, he didn't comment much, only nodded at Herbert and patted his shoulder.
Rather than having Herbert grow safely with their help, he preferred Herbert to become independent through personal experiences.
The strong cannot grow under excessive pampering.
Overprotection only ruins a natural genius, hindering them from reaching their true potential.
Such a fate is a more true harm to them than falling in battle midway.
The Thorn Bishop didn't say much, only when Herbert was about to leave, he said in a deep voice.
"Herbert, if you encounter danger, I will avenge you, no matter who it is."
