Chapter 108 - Fall of Ba Sing Se (1/2)
”Ha! Hah! Alright! I'll do it!”
Toph shouted with flushed cheeks and a thin trail of drool running down her chin.
”What? You won't do it?”
Nik questioned once again while Toph sudden stopped... as if affirming to Nik's sudden question, once again branding her as a rebellious woman doomed to have her lips taken and her mouth ravaged, her body teased in ways unimaginable to her shallow mind while sending electrifying sensation down to her lower lips that made the bandit quiver under Nik's touch.
”Just kidding...”
Nik pulled Toph's cheeks before whispering.
”Now we play this game the other way... you refuse, and I will leave you, in fact, I will send you back to Iroh.
You do a good job, I'll reward you well, extremely so.”
The last thing Toph wanted was to get stuck with that old man. While Toph didn't have any sense of beauty, she was forced upon the realisation that she was beautiful in the eyes of many.
The dastardly acts of sneaking into the tent of a lone blind woman made her accept that fact.
While Iroh would cruelly punish those who tried to commit such illicit actions and got caught red-handed, much of his time was spent away from the camp, allowing Toph to slowly beat respect into the bodies of all the filthy mutts that tried to take a piece of her.
But aside from that, the reason her disgust was aroused due to the fact that even when courting a woman, they had to be so sneaky.
It wasn't the Earthbending way. An Earth Bender has to be direct and honest in his own actions. Somehow, just like Nik, she thought secretly before cursing under her breath.
But she had already agreed that she would breach the wall... not for the reward, definitely not for the reward.
”Well, then, don't try anything stupid. My punishment isn't something you can still bear.”
Nik whispered into her ears while giving a swift spank to her bottom, making her yelp, before she stomped her foot, creating a thin wall between herself and Nik.
”Keep your hands to yourself! I told you that I would do it, right?!”
She gritted her teeth, before stomping once again, this time, assessing the area through her seismic sense as the vibration from her foot slowly spread across the area, allowing her to map the construct of the small portion of the wall.
”But still, are you really willing to betray the Earth Kingdom?”
He asked curiously while Toph placed her hand on the wall.
”I haven't pledged myself to anyone.” Toph patted a part of the wall before frowning.
”Either way, the quicker the war is over, the quicker things would settle.”
She replied while instantly punching at the wall.
Thud!
”Hup!”
She punched once again as visible cracks spread across the wall while Toph hissed as she held her bloodied fist.
”Whoever made this wall is an asshole!”
”What happened?”
Even Nik was surprised by the sudden revelation of the creator being an asshole.
”Isn't it easy for an earth bender to carve earth?”
Nik patted the cracked part of the wall before looking at Toph's bloodied fist and scowling even harder.
”Earth Bending is quite versatile. Earthbending can also be used to reinforce structures, just like this wall. So, other than the one who created the structure, others cannot easily destroy the wall.”
”Then we dig.”
Nik replied back while he still couldn't get over the fact that Toph was bleeding. But his frustrations weren't revealed. He kept them close to his heart while simply chanting that he wasn't 'practical' enough.
He needed healing skills, or potions, so that such accidents could be skillfully handled.
”Dig... that would have been possible, but the wall goes 500 metres deep... and that is the point I can sense the surroundings vaguely...”
Nik finally looked up at the tall wall and then sighed darkly.
”Alright, then we fly. Virya, would you help us?”
Nik asked candidly. If he didn't even ask for assistance at such a moment, then when would he?”
”Sure? What do you need?”
While Toph was confused at who Nik was talking with, she didn't simply attribute Nik to have a rough childhood that played with his head.
She was blind, aside from Earth, there are myriad things she isn't capable of sensing. Though arrogant, she had accepted her... defeat under Nik's lips— NOOO! HANDS! She was defeated under Nik's hands!
”Just make us invisible, can you do it?”
Nik asked while Virya nodded naturally. She was a light bender, such basic applications came to her naturally.
”Easily... but—”
”I'll kiss you a lot, I get it.”
Nik smiled while he gave an advance payment in the form of another passionate kiss to the original-sized Virya's lips while hugging her waist tightly. Unlike Pavāka's sweetness, Virya had a somewhat fruity taste to her, even her scent was somewhat mystifying, being more prominent near her lower torso.
”Hmm! Good!”
Virya nodded naturally. The thin trail of saliva failed to throw her off of her game while she immediately started to glow brightly.
”Alright, Toph! You did a good job! Rewards are incoming!”
Nik immediately picked Toph once again, making her vision go dark, but his arms wrapped tightly around her remained the sensation that bypassed her vision itself.
Just as Nik had thought before, the top of the wall was filled with soldiers holding their weapons with a stern expression, ready for battle at any possible moment as they saw the flurry of activity in the distant fire camp.
It didn't take long for Nik to manipulate the gravity to slowly float down to the other side of the wall akin to a feather while continuously manipulating Toph's tongue while his hands kept shuffling between her calves and inner, moist thighs.
Once again, Toph lost to Nik's hands.

The opening of the gate was a simple task. With a few defeated soldiers swept away, Nik simply destroyed the somewhat larger gate openly, so that the destruction of the gate couldn't be hidden anymore, forcing Iroh to finally command all his troops and weaponry to defeat the final defence of the Capital.
Meanwhile, Nik had already rushed back to their hiding spot and finally sighed loudly when he saw the notification appearing in front of him.
