The Rise Of Quetzalcoatl - Chapter 156

“You were shouting… And I could hear it loud and clear,”

“But the walls nullify sound,”

“Yeah, but the hivemind doesn’t it,” She mutters before flopping on my bed and instantly snoring.

Oh yeah… I forgot about that.

…

(Lucy POV)

After working out for a bit and then taking a shower, I walked out of the bathroom, completely unaware of who was laying on the living room couch.

“Goddamn!” Nuala suddenly cries out as she covers her eyes.

“W-what!? I-I’m not fat!” I say as I quickly reach for a towel inside the bathroom and wrap it around myself.

“No, you’re more muscular than I thought. A-Also… Is Mia stroking those plump ass thighs every night!? Why are they so big!?” Nuala shouts.

“Pervert!” I shouted before locking myself in the bedroom and quickly changing into some of Mia’s clothes.

I was planning on just walking around naked to see Mia blush a bit, but since Nuala is here that plan is completely thrown out the window!

As soon as I changed into Mia’s clothes, I immediately noticed her smell… and also noticed how loose the clothes were on me so I just decided to change into a onesie.

“Mia you’re one lucky gal,” I suddenly hear Nuala speak up as I exit the bedroom and see her conversing with Mia.

“Did you seriously see her body? Weren’t you supposed to be sleeping?”

“Well, I’m not tired now. After seeing how muscular your girlfriend is, I want to start working out more,” She says before getting up and doing a few pushups.

“I’m right here,” I muttered.

“Oh, cool. Teach me some tricks. Do you use weights or bodyweights?” She asks while continuously doing pushups.

“Weights… Wait, I’m not that muscular. You can’t even tell I work out with skin-tight clothes,” I refute.

“I mean, you’re still much more muscular than myself,” She says.

After teaching Nuala a few bodyweight exercises, I then made my way over to the couch where I snuggled up next to Mia.

“I love you,”

“I love you too,”

…

A few hours had passed and it was finally morning.

Nuala had passed out from exhaustion as she was up all night exercising, but that was really bad as we actually had something to do today.

“Nuala! Wake your ass up!” Ethel says before ax kicking her gut.

She suddenly shot her eyes wide open and then glanced at Ethel with a weird smirk across her entire face.

“Did you feel that? The power of a thousand sit-ups!” She shouts and just as she got up, the pain finally went to her brain and she collapsed onto the floor.

“Well, you felt it,” Ethel mutters before dragging her out of the bedroom and to the dining room where we were all eating breakfast.

She sat the unconscious Nuala down at one of the chairs before we began our meeting.

“Amanda, get off your phone,” Aria says.

“Wait, lemme just beat this level,” She responded so she quickly took it out of her hand and shoved it in her own pocket.

“Okay, let’s start the meeting… So, what is the report?” I ask my maid who suddenly reappeared beside me.

Everybody was a bit shocked by her sudden appearance but decided to just accept it and brush it off as one of my skills… which it was.

“Yes, Mistress… First of all, I have found the location of the gang’s base. But, I don’t see why Mistress is so keen on absorbing them when they’re so weak. I have found much larger gangs within this city,”

“Oh, really? Then we’ll also absorb them. We’ll take everything we can from this place before leaving,”

“Yes, Mistress. I shall lead all of you to the first location once you are done with breakfast,” She says before disappearing into a blue feather that reattached itself to my back, under the illusion.

“Oh yeah, can you take the illusion off? I want to see everybody’s new evolutions,” I say as I turn to Mia beside me.

“You just saw them yesterday, though,”

“Please,”

“Fine…” She mutters before snapping her fingers, causing the illusions wrapping around us to suddenly disappear into thin air.

Everybody was much more beautiful in this form, especially Amanda whose hair was half blackish-purple and half gold which shone brightly like the sun.

She looked like the human form of an ancient sundial.

“I think Lucy is the only one who isn’t beautiful,” Clio mutters before puffing out her chest, clearly to taunt me.

“I don’t think that’s true… She looks… uhhhhh… More cool, I guess. A cool beauty you could say,” Ethel cheers me up.

I turn to Mia who scarfing down a mouthful of pancakes brought by room service.

“A-Am I not beautiful?” I asked her and just as she finished swallowing her meal, she turned to me with a massive smile.

“What are you talking about!? You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met!”

“R-really?”

“Of course,”

“M-Mia!” I cry out before hugging her tightly.

“It’s okay… You’re exactly like Ethel said: A cool beauty. I mean, those eyelashes and under lashes are pretty long, but instead of giving you a more feminine look, you look a bit more masculine,” She says while patting my back.

“T-thank you,”

“Okay! Okay! We get it! You have a girlfriend and I don’t!” Ethel cries out, quickly ruining the fluffy mood around us.

Tch

I mouthed a few terrible words at her, but she just glared at me back with eyes filled to the brim with jealousy… and a few tears.

“Alright, let’s get going,” Amanda says after noticing the air beginning to grow heavier by the second.

“Please follow me,” My maid who suddenly appeared beside me says with a deep bow.

…

“This place is pretty small,” I muttered as we walked through a marketplace inside the slums.

Everybody here was sketchy and thankfully Sophia wasn’t here, otherwise, she’d definitely fall for another bait.

And I could see Astra was thankful as well.

“My cute girlfriend would’ve been a goner,” She muttered and we soon ran into a few bandits.
