Chapter 169 Elanna: You're Tired, But I'm Happy (10.2K, 63/76)_2
Kael almost burst out laughing; he had thought Elanna didn't care about these things!
"Elanna..."
"Mm... Ugh..."
Just a moment ago, she had been provoking him, but now she let out a whimper. Kael was a man of action. The tail behind him silently unfurled, a faint aroma spreading in the narrow carriage. When Kael once again blocked her from speaking, she felt a fire ignite within her.
She couldn't help but recall that time at the Harvest Festival in Titan Town. After drinking Barley Fragrance Wine and riding a horse with Kael, she could feel the faint scent of alcohol drifting from behind her.
A hint of shyness flashed across her face involuntarily. She almost forgot that Kael had incubus blood. With just a little extra touch, she felt like she couldn't handle it and obediently sat to one side, not daring to move.
What could I do? He's an incubus, after all!
Luckily, they soon stopped because they noticed the carriage was slowing down.
"Kael, the commercial street is almost here..."
As she was trying to say this, a small tail gently adhered to her body, taking a quick sip and then stopping.
Instantly, Elanna felt her legs go weak and a bit wobbly.
"Just a little punishment... Don't move; it'll be over soon!" Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire
This was Kael's newly discovered special way of feeding with his tail. Just a little bit could leave Elanna feeling weak and powerless afterward.
Emmm... As for how he knew, guess whose body he experimented on?
No doubt, the answer was the wolf maid...
Her master, the most beautiful under the stars, Kael!
Bah... for some reason, he always felt that title sounded a bit ominous.
Even though his face was handsome, his physique remained tall and strong.
When the carriage finally came to a stop, Elanna almost fled out of it in a hurry.
Incubus... Incubuses are really both terrifying and pleasurable.
Kael didn't tease her anymore. He got off the carriage, held the slightly weak Elanna, and walked towards the commercial street of the Royal Capital, saying as they went:
"This time when we go over, we'll likely run into some social engagements. Though we're on a diplomatic mission, and with the intention of exerting some pressure, on a national level, we can't avoid socializing.
The Orean Independent Kingdom has acted despicably, but on the surface, they still need to pretend to follow the rules. There will definitely be banquets and the like specifically hosted for the envoy."
So as they got off the carriage, Kael directly pulled Elanna towards the direction of the custom gown shops on the commercial street.
Elanna, a bit dazed, was led by Kael towards a shop that mainly sold high-end gowns, asking as they walked:
"Why... Why are we going to such an expensive place?"
"Just follow me inside..." Kael's voice was drawn out, "If things go as I expect, then this will be useful. If something unexpected happens... I think getting you an appropriate gown is no problem."
Speaking thus, Kael pulled Elanna into a lavishly decorated gown store.
Once again thwarting her attempt to sneak away, he pulled her back, saying, "Be good, just listen to me for today."
With that, he pushed her inside under the guidance of the shop assistant who had come to greet them.
Soon, with a rather conflicted expression, Elanna was reluctantly trying on dozens of gowns. Under Kael's somewhat amused gaze, they finally settled on a deep red lace-trimmed long dress.
When the girl lifted the curtain and walked out, Kael's eyes noticeably lit up. He said to the cautious shop assistant beside him:
"I'll take this one."
Elanna shook her head, saying, "Kael, let me pay for this one myself. I do have some savings."
Kael affectionately pinched Elanna's cheek. Under the envious eyes of the shop assistant (who envied Elanna), he gently tucked her hair behind her ear, saying:
"At least let it be half and half; I have a feeling this gown may not last long."
Elanna hummed in response and said nothing more.
After having their gowns packed into boxes and loaded into the carriage, the two walked out of the shop.
...
Today, Elanna very rarely smiled almost all the time. Though she often smiled when out with Kael, it was never as much as today.
As they walked, Elanna suddenly reached out and grabbed the wrist of a young man brushing past her, and twisted it forcefully.
A scream rang out.
"Ah, a rich person is hitting people in the street!" The young man immediately howled.
"Stop your tricks; I don't like a thief's third hand. Dare to extend it, and I'll break it!" Elanna said coldly.
Kael didn't move, just glanced at the young man, who had just started acting, only to be caught by Elanna. He said nothing.
The young man howled, trying to shout something, as several people quietly surrounded them.
As they moved in, they cursed, "So what if you're rich? Does being rich mean you can hit people in the street?"
Clearly, these people were the thief's accomplices, using this as an excuse to help their comrade escape.
