Bleed Enough and It Won't Be Awkward (Continued)

"That's true. If that kind of power could be granted so easily, things would be in chaos. So how long can it last at once?"

"Hmm... it might require several more experiments. Eris hasn't done this before, so she's not sure."

Eris turned her head and looked at Furina with her innocent, wide eyes.

I'm not lying. Of course, one experiment cannot yield accurate and reliable data, so it's normal to need multiple experiments.

It has nothing to do with Furina's soft lips or anything like that.

Furina instinctively touched her lips, blushing.

"Then...then let's experiment now...oh, you can leave a letter in my palace first, just say...say that I'm handling important matters, and that Court of Fontaine and Neuvillette don't need to look for me, they can handle their own work."

"Yes, Lady Furina."

Eris flicked his finger and, as Furina had instructed, placed a letter on the table in Furina's palace.

Then, while Furina was still nervous and at a loss, Eris cupped Furina's face in her hands again.

Close to.

"Sizzle~~"

Hmm, it has the flavor of black tea, which is a different experience altogether.

Eris was very pleased.

Furina's eyes widened, but then she couldn't resist her shyness and closed them halfway through.

But after closing my eyes, my other senses actually became more sensitive.

Furina clearly felt the taste of Eris.

Under Eris's already skillful guidance, the inexperienced Furina gradually found her rhythm. Lips, teeth, mouth, tongue. Eris was feeling hers, and she was feeling Eris's.

'So soft... how can it be so soft... so sweet... this is...'

Unconsciously, Furina opened her eyes a crack and saw only Eris's red pupils, which seemed to hold an intoxicatingly doting and smiling expression. She then closed her eyes again, completely drawn into a dreamlike experience she had never imagined.

After a long while, Furina, as if lacking oxygen, leaned dizzily on Eris's shoulder.

"It's here! The power is here!"

Furina instantly stood up, her hand forming a rapidly growing ball of water.

"This is... this is... power!"

Furina couldn't help but grin.

Eris watched Furina's antics quietly, her fingers tracing her moist lips, a faint, lingering smile playing on her lips.

They then stayed in the cave for two full days.

Furina couldn't remember how many times she had come into contact with Eris.

After gradually getting used to it, her competitive spirit got the better of her, and she tried to overpower Eris. And she succeeded. After that, it was mostly her embracing Eris and absorbing his essence, and she even inadvertently learned some more advanced caresses and entanglements—cough cough, it's irrelevant, yes, irrelevant.

Later on, every time she saw Eris become dizzy and weak from being sucked dry, only able to mutter "Lady Furina" with lifeless eyes, Furina felt secretly pleased... no, she felt quite guilty.

In a way, Eris was more innocent than herself, wasn't she? Yet, because of her own needs and deception, she ended up like this.

A wave of guilt washed over Furina.

'But it felt so good, and Eris's confused and helpless expression afterward... Ah! Furina, you can't! You can't get addicted! This is serious business!'

"Slap! Slap!"

Furina slapped herself twice.

"Lady Furina?"

"It's okay. So, have you figured it out? How long did it last?"

With a red mark on her face, Furina asked in a serious tone.

Eris touched her rosy lips, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"After giving my full power, as long as Lady Furina doesn't use that power, it can last for about four hours on you. But if she uses the power, it depends on the rate of consumption, and Eris can't guarantee that."

"It's alright, it's alright. I don't usually use my power much. Besides, you're here most of the time, aren't you? Four hours... four hours, and with you by my side, I can replenish my strength anytime. That's more than enough!"

Furina's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Then the smile gradually faded.

This move is truly brilliant; it perfectly compensates for her biggest weakness: her lack of strength.

However, there is still some risk in dealing with the Six Gods. After all, they are bestowed with abilities, and who knows what each of the Six Gods possesses? Perhaps someone can see through something?

"If Lady Furina doesn't want to go, I can help you come up with some reasons."

"What?"

"For example, the Giant Beast Erinys has resumed its activities, so you need to handle it personally and won't be able to attend events."

"You can do that?"

Furina blinked in confusion.

Then she shook her head.

"No. Everyone sees the giant beast as an enemy. If you move and let everyone know you're not dead, it might attract some danger."

Furina subconsciously looked up at the high place.

If I remember correctly, the behemoth is related to Kandria, and Kandria was destroyed by Celestia.

The only Heavenly Principles that cannot be opposed is the Heavenly Principles Heaven, nor can it be allowed to focus on Fontaine. This is a belief that Furina has kept in mind for five hundred years.

"Fine, I'll take the plunge. There's no safer option now. I don't even know how much longer this will last. Sooner or later, I'll see them."

Furina gritted her teeth, reached out, and took Eris's soft, tender hand, feeling an immense sense of security.

Then, she flashed a confident smile.

"Let's go, Eris. Time is running out. Let's head to Inazuma. I'll take you to see the gods of the six kingdoms!"

"Yes, Lady Furina."

"Wait, Liu Shen shouldn't recognize you like this, right?"

"Those who can't recognize her will simply think Eris is just an ordinary Melusine."

Eris looked at Furina gently and tenderly.

I never expected Furina to be so cautious.

I'm increasingly convinced that this is a dazzling and beautiful gem, worthy of being held in my palm—and then completely possessed!
