73 Chapter 73: Storm (1/2)

The animals by the side of the lake raised their head vigilantly and looked at Caesar and Ahri warily, the animals studied them for a few seconds before going back to drinking the water.

Caesar led Ahri to the lake slowly, he didn't want to spook the wild animals any more than they already had.

The lake was extremely clear and almost looked like it was sparkling, Confusion was reflected in Caesar's eyes.

'How could a lake be so clean?' he silently thought to himself.

Caesar didn't dwell on the topic too much and started to strip his clothes, after his last bloody battle with Joe and the bandits he was considered far from clean.

Ahri slightly blushed and also started to strip her clothes, she stripped down to her underwear and put her graceful toes in the water to test the temperature.

”C-cold…” she swiftly pulled her foot away

Caesar was currently shirtless and only had a pair of tight underwear on, his abdominal muscles and large bulge were on full display.

He walked towards the lake and gently put his slender fingers inside, he frowned at the abnormally cold temperature.

He turned towards Ahri with a playful smile, ”you could always heat the water with your fire” he said teasingly.

Ahri rolled her eyes and ignited a flame on her palms, instead of her normal blue flames, a normal looking orange flame danced on her hands.

”You can use normal flames as well?” Caesar asked curiously.

”Of course, my element is fire… but, my demon fire is unique only to my race” Ahri calmly explained.

Caesar nodded his head in understanding and walked towards the lake… he extended his hand in the water and almost spontaneously the water froze and a three-inch thick wall of ice was created.

Caesar repeated the process three more times and closed in a much smaller space of water, he highly doubted that Ahri was capable of warming the entire lake, thus, he thought of this idea.

Ahri walked towards the enclosed area Caesar had created and inserted her hand inside, bubbles started forming where her hand was and the water inside heated.

Steam rose from the water and they essentially created a temporary hot tub.

Once the water was hot enough, Caesar stepped inside and couldn't help but sigh deeply…

”Haah, I haven't had a bath in a long time,” he said with a relaxed voice and dipped his long hair in the pool.

Ahri followed after him and immediately started to scrub her body, hygiene was important for a woman after all.

Caesar walked behind Ahri and pulled out a brush and some soap from his storage ring… he put some of the soap on her hair and softly brushed it.

Ahri let him do as he pleased and practically purred from his gentle touch, Caesar continued to rub her hair like this for a few minutes, however, the water started cooling and interrupted their relaxing moment.

Caesar stroked his hair one last time and reluctantly exited the water, the ice he had created was slowly melting and the animals were slowly congregating towards him and Ahri.

Droplets of water fell from Caesar's long hair and trailed down his pecs and perfect abdominal muscles… His underwear was damp and further escalated his allure.

Ahri found it hard to take her eyes off him but her situation wasn't much better, droplets of water trailed down her breasts and hair making Caesar sneak glances at her every now and then.

They both walked towards where the sun shone the brightest and slowly dried off, unfortunately, they didn't pack any towels…
