Reincarnated Golden Emperor - Chapter 179
The red powder-like substance within his veins was destroyed. Saito asked Iris in his head ‘Is my Life Force still being depleted?’
[Yes.]
‘Okay… That’s a bit too much. It wouldn’t yield results in short term but after 2-3 days. Most of the humans would die. What’s even worse is that people would normally not do anything after this Burning Sensation was treated. The deadly poison which is targeting their life force would remain in their bodies and they wouldn’t know when they died. Though it wouldn’t be as useful against Demons, Elves, or other beasts with large life force. Against humans though, it is an army-killing weapon.’
He then stared at Lyra with a serious expression, “How many flowers can you make Lyra?”
Lyra thought for some moment before she answered him, “With my peak magic level, I can create around 20 flowers and maintain them for an hour. If I don’t supply them magic then my connection with these flowers would be broken and they wouldn’t respond to my will.”
“I see…” Placing his hand under his chin. He had a thought and asked her, “What about just this red powder? Do you need a lot of magic to sustain it?”
“It would depend on the quantity, I guess. I have never really tried to gauge it.” Lyra replied to him with a confused expression.
She was somewhat surprised why Saito wasn’t using her anti-dote straight away now. Even if her poison didn’t harm him in short term. There was no reason to keep on depleting his life force. Her anti-dote couldn’t restore the life-force after all. It simply cured the poison.
The corners of Saito’s mouth curved upwards and he said, “Then, how about if you create a lot of poison with your poison flowers, store the poisonous powder in a special pouch, and destroy your connection with the poisonous powder. That way, you wouldn’t have to use your magic to keep the connection with the poisonous powder.”
It was Chloe who spoke with a confused expression, “Then wouldn’t that make the poisonous powder be effective on whoever it was thrown against? What if it was used against us?”
Both Saito and Lyra stared at her like she was some sort of idiot. Their gazes said ‘Are you serious!?’
Though Chloe had a genuinely confused look on her face, she didn’t seem to notice their stare.
Lyra spoke out with a bit of pride, “Obviously, we will be using a special pouch and keep its existence a secret. It’s not like anyone would know about it if we don’t display it.”
“Ohh, right!” After hearing Lyra, Chloe was a little embarrassed. Saito stared at Chloe and wanted to facepalm at her goofy and embarrassed expression.
Not minding it much and moving on. Saito looked at Lyra and said, “Alright, now give me the antidote.”
Lyra extended her hand which had the yellow flower. A yellowish drop condensed on top of the bud. It fell down onto Saito’s hand.
Like how it happened with the Red power. The yellowish drop entered his body and wasn’t restricted by his skin at all.
As the Yellowish drop of this flower spread in his body. Saito heard Iris’ notification [The poison has been treated now.]
Saito couldn’t help but stare at Lyra with a smile, “A truly great skill… You really deserve a great reward for this~!” His tone was suggestive as he said a great reward.
Chloe puffed her cheeks and coughed to get their attention. She starts speaking, “I have also advanced as a Berserker healer! I also have more skills now! Hmph…”
“Hai~ Hai~ My Chloe is also awesome. Come… Give me a hug now.” He said while pulling her in an embrace.
His hands were on her waist as he greedily took in her scent and kissed her neck. Chloe couldn’t help but moan out loud, “Aaaahh…”
Saito’s hand slowly moved down and fondled her great ass. Chloe was somewhat stunned by his hand’s movements but she looked at his face and saw that smile.
She felt like melting in his embrace. She let him fondle her ass while trying to keep her voice at bay.
Since Chloe was occupying Saito’s front… Lyra hugged Saito from behind and squeezed her large breasts on his back.
This was a heavenly feeling which made Saito’s body turn hot. They remain in that position for some time until Saito whispers in Chloe’s ears, “Wait for me at night in your room…”
Chloe wasn’t so young that she wouldn’t know the meaning behind those words. His tone, his expression, everything told her that he was going to do what she thought he was going to do.
He wanted to take her today. That lustful tone seemed like he could hardly wait.
Her face was completely red like that of a tomato. Saito released her from the embrace and she immediately went inside her room as if preparing for the night.
Meanwhile, Saito turns towards Lyra and smiles gently. He picks her up in his arms and takes her to their room.
Lyra didn’t resist at all on the way. She was like a gentle lamb, willing to serve Saito who had turned wolf on her.
Lyra spoke to him about how much she missed him. There was not a day that went by when she didn’t wish to be with him.
Saito was somewhat regretful that he couldn’t be there with her. However, he believed that it was necessary. If he doesn’t build up his own force, the Crown Prince won’t let him go.
He was supremely arrogant and confident in his own ability but the Crown Prince was also a talented man. He was so talented that Saito knew if he didn’t take him seriously then he would be swallowed.
And if he doesn’t build up this force, there was no way he could ever stand up against the Crown prince.
For now, he occupied himself with Lyra and stopped thinking about anything else. He wanted to relax with her. Even though Lyra and Chloe didn’t mention it, he knew that there had been rough months for them.
He started talking to her while they were cuddling. He explained to her a bit about what he encountered. About the fact that he had Golden Dragon’s Bloodline now.
Naturally, Lyra was utterly shocked to know that her husband acquired the Golden Dragon’s Bloodline. She touched his chest and indeed felt 3 heartbeats. This was enough to prove his point.
Lyra knew… Only someone with the Sea Dragon’s Bloodline could have three hearts. She was happy. She didn’t understand how he had acquired the Golden Dragon’s Bloodline but she was delighted about it.
She knew about the capabilities of the Sea Dragon. They were a tenacious race with a strong life force. Killing them was generally very difficult with their great regeneration that would even heal a heart if given enough time.
Didn’t this mean that she could be relieved about Saito’s safety? Other than a Demon Lord, just who would be able to take on Saito or even injure him? Perhaps one or two Great Demon Kings might get lucky but they would never be able to kill him.
As if exposing her happiness to Saito, she immediately kissed him on his lips. It honestly confused him regarding this sudden kiss but hey, he wasn’t going to complain.
After that, Saito mentioned to her the fact that he could create Spring Water with his own magic. Now… Lyra was a princess of Elf Race.
She understood just how important was Spring Water. She felt like it was too surreal. Her husband was able to create the Spring Water just from his magic? No evil arts involved?
Taking a quick glance at Saito and asking, “Are you our God? Are you testing me?”
To which, Saito laughed out heartily and replied, “Yep, I am your god. Now, love me for eternity!” He was only kidding and Lyra understood that.
She realized he wanted her to treat him the same as before. He squeezed her butt strongly and pulled her even close to himself.
So close to his body meant that she could hear his heartbeats. Hearing three quick heartbeats, she didn’t understand why but she was greatly thankful as she listened to those heartbeats.
She didn’t even realize when she melted down in that warmth and fell asleep.
Chloe was decorating her room nicely. It had been so long that she forgot for how long she had been decorating. She paused for a moment and thought of the reason why she was even decorating her room.
It didn’t take her long to remember it. The reason she was decorating her room was that Saito was going to take her first time. After remembering the reason, she blushed madly and used her pillow to cover her face as if there was someone there.
“It’s because Axel told me he would come at night. I don’t want him to enter a dirty room.. It’s definitely not because I have dirty thoughts in my mind~” Speaking to no one in particular, she seemed to have raised an excuse to suppress the blush on her face.
