Riding a beautiful woman as a mount?

"Don't move, or I can't guarantee I won't accidentally tremble," the beautiful Naga's red lips were right by Landen's ear, her voice so tender and affectionate, yet it kept all of Landen's subordinates standing far away, afraid to approach.

The beautiful Naga had come up behind Landen, one arm around his waist, the other gently around his neck, like a girlfriend hugging her boyfriend from behind, a rather intimate gesture.

However, such an intimate gesture, paired with the curved blades held in each of her jade-like hands pressed against Landen's jaw and chest, completely changed the mood. Her long snake tail coiled around him once more, completely enveloping Landen's lower body.

Everyone knew that if this snake tail, which didn't fear even High-tier Black Iron strength, tightened even slightly, the poor Lord would never have to worry about his "happiness" again.

"I won't move. Being held by such a beautiful woman like you, I'm delighted. How could I possibly move?" Landen chuckled.

"Good boy, this is a reward for you," the beautiful Naga said with a charming smile. Her red lips parted, but instead of a kiss, she extended her moist, red tongue and gently licked from Landen's cheek to his jaw.

Landen inwardly let out a wry smile. He was bold, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do what he did to Vivian's envoy, nor would he have dared to provoke that family of Mind Flayers with just a corpse.

But on the other hand, he was also very cautious. Everything he did was based on a complete plan, and facts had proven that as long as he followed his plan, he succeeded in all those endeavors.

But this time was different. This time, Landen had no plan. He didn't even know what he was up against. All his actions were based on his trust in Hogg. He had thought the Beast-eared Cutie, a system reward, was reliable, but it turned out the intelligence of a Riverclaw Jackalman wasn't as high as he'd imagined. This little girl had exposed her true nature as a "little scammer."

The beautiful Naga in front of him... no, behind him, judging by her previous performance, was definitely a powerhouse who had entered the Silver domain, perhaps even Mid-tier Silver or High-tier Silver. Their all-Black Iron lineup was nothing before her!

"You shameless woman, come at me if you dare! Let the Lord go!" Hogg was still shouting. Her Interrogation Technique was top-notch, but when it came to taunting, she was just a grade-schooler. Her taunting skills wouldn't even reach "Bronze V"...

Landen wished he could grab Hogg right now and spank her, right on her little backside hidden beneath her fluffy tail. Of course, that was just a thought.

"Beautiful sister, I have deeply reflected on our mistake. How about we negotiate? I'll give you some compensation, and you can pretend this never happened. We'll part ways, how about that?" Landen tried to negotiate with her in the most relaxed tone possible, while also trying to figure out her motives.

Nagas had half-snake bodies and thus some snake-like habits. When hunting, they wouldn't eat their prey immediately but would toy with it repeatedly until it was exhausted from endless fear before finally enjoying it.

However, Landen didn't believe the beautiful Naga's current actions were for that purpose.

It was because of the "Eh?" she had uttered when she captured Landen.

That sound represented confusion. Clearly, the beautiful Naga had discovered something on Landen that made her utter that sound of surprise.

Of course, this could also be a trick, making Landen believe there was something on him that could pique her interest, giving him hope, only to crush all hope in the end.

But given the current situation, Landen could only try.

"Compensation? I'm suddenly a little interested. Tell me, what compensation can you give me? If I'm not satisfied, I might not be able to control myself and do something harmful~" The beautiful Naga's seductive and sweet voice made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, what compensation? Sister, you're so beautiful, how about I give you some precious flowers? Flowers suit beauties, right? Hehe, just kidding." Landen tried to lower her guard with words, but feeling the grip around his lower body tighten, he knew it was useless. He stopped wasting time and said directly, "How about you pick something from my belongings? To be honest, sister, my mother is the Matriarch of Solenode City, not far from here. Everything I have on me are good things she gave me."

"Oh, really? Including... this one?" The beautiful Naga's wrist twisted slightly, and the curved blade at Landen's jaw deftly nudged something that had been hidden deep within his clothes, near his neck, out into the open.

"How about... this one." With a flash of cold light, the curved blade in one hand vanished. The beautiful Naga didn't seem to care, merely pushing the blade in her other hand slightly forward. The sword easily pierced Landen's clothes at his chest, immediately silencing a few restless individuals.

Then, with a gentle embrace of her jade-like hand, she picked up the pendant shaped like a heart. The pendant was hollow, with a small space inside that could hold trinkets, and was generally used like a locket. In this world, it was used to hold miniature portraits of loved ones.

The beautiful Naga's fingertip lightly traced the edge of the pendant, finding the small switch to open it. She applied force, but it wouldn't budge, so she instinctively pushed harder.

It still wouldn't open. She pushed harder...

She repeated this several times until she was astonished to realize that the force she was using could easily crush anyone present.

Her face darkened slightly, the seductive expression vanishing. She looked at Landen coldly and said, "Open it."

A wry smile appeared on Landen's face. "Why pick that one? I regret to inform you that I can't open it either. Also, don't think about stealing this necklace and looking for a way to open it elsewhere. My mother told me that this thing will self-destruct if it leaves my body; it will self-destruct if it senses my death. In short, it cannot leave me, cannot leave me alive."

"So there's nothing more to say?" The beautiful Naga no longer hid the killing intent in her eyes.

"No, no, no!" Landen hastily explained. He didn't want to die inexplicably again. "My mother also told me that only I can open it, but the method is unknown. To be honest, I've been trying too."

"What do you mean?" the beautiful Naga asked in a deep voice.

"You can follow me. Uh, I mean, you can be my guest until the day I open it," Landen said.

"If it opens, it will be mine?" the beautiful Naga sneered.

"I can't be sure about that, but at least for now, no one among us can compete with you, right?" Landen shrugged. This action wasn't appropriate at this moment, as a blade tip was still pressed against his chest. However, he was testing her reaction.

As he shrugged, the blade tip at his chest retreated slightly.

The enchanting voice sounded again, "Don't lie to me, sister. You know the consequences of lying to me~"

However, at this moment, another voice rang out inappropriately.

"Lord, are you trying to steal my mount?"

Mount? Landen blinked, then suddenly felt the fiery body behind him, which had been a little distance away, press against him entirely!

Pfft
