[You’ve acquired Superhuman Strength.]
“What the hell? Why did the system suddenly give him the power? And this trouble comes because he is unable to control himself. It’s basically his problem. The plot armor is too much.” Nathan shouted, while staring at his phone. “I don’t mind even if he’s not smart, but don’t make him too stupid.
He was a one thousand-year-old man who got reincarnated. Shouldn’t his experience tell him not to do that? This is bullshit.”
Nathan sighed and just left the book while asking, “If I were him, what would I do?”
As he asked that question, he closed his eyes. By the time he opened his eyes, he felt a bit nauseous, his vision going up and down.
“Mhmm…” Nathan let out a groan as he looked at the ground. There was someone in front of him. No, it was more accurate to say that his body was touching this person.
“!!!” Nathan hurriedly opened his eyes wide to see what was going on, only to find himself getting carried by Selena.
“You are awake.”
“Selena?” Nathan was startled. His mind was jumbled for a moment. He didn’t know why he would dream of his experience when reading a novel, and he found himself on Selena’s back when he woke up. “Let me down…”
“It’s fine. You’re still too weak after using your power like that. We’re about to reach the exit, so just hang on.”
“No, no. That’s exactly the reason I want you to put me down.” Nathan sighed.
“Is that so?” Selena thought for a moment before following his wish. “Fine.”
Nathan’s feet went limp the moment he stepped on the ground, causing him to fall to his knees.
“Ugh.”
“I told you so.” Selena wanted to pull him up, but Nathan refused and stood up on his own even though his legs were shaking.
“See? I can do it.”
Selena scratched the back of her head. Looking at him act tough put a smile on her face. After all, both of them were the same. They were acting as if nothing big happened in their lives, but they were actually desperate.
“Thank you.”
Nathan tilted his head in confusion. “Are you talking about the alien? Well, you were the one reducing the alien to that state. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to defeat it easily.”
Selena shook her head. “That’s not what I was trying to say. I just want to thank you for everything.”
“Hmm? We are both working together, right?”
Selena smiled wryly. “No. Risa’s evolution aside, I want to thank you for Yin Zhen and probably have to apologize. Right now, we have been able to hide Yin Zhen’s identity. But if people know about the meaning of Jiangshi, it will become troublesome.
“After all, my family will target me and you the moment they know I am able to summon a male vampire. That means all the beliefs they have so far will be shattered, changing the balance completely.
“When that happens, the Ashton family will experience a crisis, especially from those who think they should find my father. The battle of succession will begin.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Nathan shook his head.
And that answer put a smile on Selena’s face. Her smile might look awkward, but Selena said, “Well… I think you can forget about what I said previously. The real reason is actually very simple. I just want to thank you for trusting me.”
“Trusting you? Isn’t that a given?” Nathan was confused. Selena made little sense this whole time. free𝑤ebnovel.com
“No. I’m happy that you’re able to trust me to the extent you revealed your secret to help me.”
“Ah, that?” Nathan rubbed his cheek. He made that decision, fully aware that he would probably have to explain it, not only to her, but also to his teacher.
Instead of explaining, Nathan tried to shift the topic by teasing her. “That’s a problem. I can trust my woman to keep my secret, but you are not. This is troubling me. I wonder what I should do…”
To his surprise, Selena nodded her head. “In that case, how about I become yours? This time, it’ll be official.”
“Eh?” Nathan was taken aback. His eyes were blinking as though he heard it wrong.
“Why are you acting surprised? Or are you saying you don’t mean it?” Selena looked him in the eyes.
Nathan felt goosebumps from those red eyes. It felt like they were oozing bloodlust. He would probably die if he answered it incorrectly.
“I’m just surprised you agree so easily. You usually shift the topic by mentioning a part of the deal, but this is…” Nathan scratched the back of his head. The question he wanted to ask was obvious. What is she planning?
Nathan didn’t know how big the impact of his secret meant to her. With how he behaved this whole time, it wouldn’t be weird if Nathan ended up having a lot of wives in the future. And she could probably do nothing about it.
But if she was able to show her superiority, she could probably have a ‘talk’ with them or even ‘eliminate’ several of them. As a result, she could limit the number as much as possible.
As she thought about it, there was bloodlust leaking out of her eyes, but she soon regained her calm.
She shook her head. “It’s nothing. Your secret is simply too big for me to bear. You’ve ‘tricked’ me.”
“Is that so?” Nathan knew that must be an excuse, but it felt like he shouldn’t ask about it. “Anyway, we should get going. Also, the competition is going to be canceled, but I’m preparing for something, which might end up using our reward for it. Do you—”
“I don’t mind.” Selena nodded without hesitation. “As long as you don’t do anything reckless again without telling me… like burning the island.”
“Thank you.” Nathan felt relieved. “Of course, I promise you.”
Nathan and Selena looked at each other as the atmosphere turned warm. But soon, a dragon face appeared next to her. Nidhogg said with an annoyed face, “Can you stop chatting and exit first? I don’t want to be a third wheel if I don’t have to use my fire to light up the cave…”
Nathan and Selena were sweating as the atmosphere became awkward.
“Then, let’s go out. I hope the battle outside has finished as well.”
“Yeah.”
