Chapter 511: The Return of Madness (1/2)
Feeling a warm budding heat on my chest, I open my eyes from the land of darkness to the rays of light piercing through the room.
With her tiny head resting against my chest, Arkanos soft breathing hummed like music in my ear. Turning my attention to Lilith staring at me, she smiled. Passing her hands over my head, she whispered. ”You got a light fever.”
”Didn't know cultivators could still get fevers,” I responded, making sure not to make any movement less I wake the dragon on my chest.
”the ones who keep fainting do.” She mocked.
My lips twitched. Giggling into her palm, Lilith snuck off the bed. Walking to my side, she smirked. ”I hope your comfy cuz this will be our life with a baby.”
Glancing down at the little dragon, I smiled, ”That's fine. We have time. Once the Gates are open, things are going to be a bit hectic, but after, we will be free.”
”Seems like you are forgetting about the Shadow and King.” Said Lilith and shook her head. ”But something has me curious.”
”And that is?”
”Why did Zariel think you would follow through? Is it not like you made a deal with him? Sure we owe him, but that would never really stop a devil-like you from screwing over someone they owe.” She said, startling me for a bit.
Pondering over the answer, I sighed. ”I made a deal, all the way at the beginning, to gain the ability of adaptation. If the organization needs me, I shall be there. ” I answered, having only now thought of that deal from so long ago.
”So in case you refuse, you will be forced to accept,” Lilith remarked. ”A family of schemers.”
Nodding in response, I sighed, ”Seems like he really thought of every possibility. It's fine though, everything has a price, and Zariel paid a lot.”
Drawing close to my lips, she smiled, ”You almost sound like you have a conscience. I wonder if it's the deal talking or you.”
Narrowing my gaze as her breath touched my lips, a pondering gleam filled my eyes, ”Why the interest? You are not planning on doing something, are you?”
”Always,” she claimed, stealing a kiss, she suddenly flicked Arkanos's head. Rushing away, I could hear the laughter as she raced to the bathroom.
”Papa is a meanie!” Arkanos cried with a bit of tear streaming over her cheeks. ”But Arkanos needs a meanie.”
”Oh? What's up?”
”Some high god bullied Arkanos.”
”...”
”Papa?”
”...”
What the hell am I supposed to do? My god, I hope my kids aren't like me. Suppose they piss off a High God or even an Elder God. It's over.
”Umm, what was the name of this High God?” I bitterly asked, knowing there was zero hope of a fight.
”I think her name was Ty.”
Widening my eyes, I shot up, stunning the little dragon on my chest. ”Really? Was she around your height?”
”She was a bit taller. With long black hair,”
Is it black now? Guess that makes sense. She is of my blood now.
”She is a big fat bully,” Arkanos said, tearing up.
