What met his eyes was not some upscale five-star hotel, but an incomparably luxurious room. The bed alone was enormous, at least four or five meters wide. The blanket covering him was made of some unknown material, yet it felt incredibly silky.
Sitting up, Cao Ye saw Freya in the distance, dressed somewhat seductively, like a blooming red spider lily.
"Goddess Freya?"
His memories came flooding back, and Cao Ye immediately remembered that Ottar had knocked him unconscious.
Looking at her, then at the decor, this could not be her room, could it? Thinking of Freya's reputation in DanMachi, Cao Ye's first instinct was to throw off the covers.
It might have been a little shameless, but after being a wizard for twenty years, he could not just hand over his virginity like that.
At least let me get some "sense of experience" out of it. Otherwise, wouldn't I be getting totally ripped off?
As for her "less-than-pleasant" reputation, Cao Ye did not really care. He might have a bit of a virgin complex, but that only applied to his own woman.
Men were all lustful. As long as both sides consented, what did her private life have to do with him? All he wanted was to feel good. What did anything else have to do with him? He was not her boyfriend, nor was he marrying her.
When he threw off the blanket and saw that his clothes were still on, Cao Ye immediately sighed in relief. His "chastity" was intact.
But after his relief came disappointment. You kidnapped me and did nothing? What was that supposed to mean? Was I not good enough for you?
"You really are dramatic. So many emotions and expressions played across your face in such a short time. You've certainly opened my eyes."
Freya set down the wineglass in her hand. The blood-red wine inside filled the room with a rich, intoxicating fragrance.
"Hehe, I've made a fool of myself before you, Goddess~~~"
Freya's words made Cao Ye blush a little. He really was conflicted.
As she watched Cao Ye, a strange gleam flashed through Freya's eyes. In this world, gods were eternal and unchanging. Even after hundreds of millions of years, they remained the same.
But the "children" of the Lower World, though as weak as ants, were filled with endless "possibilities."
The "evil" Cao Ye carried had piqued Freya's interest. Unlike her long-standing desire for "souls that shone brilliantly," she was curious what kind of person this human truly was.
Why would someone who was merely an "ordinary person" carry such "evil"?
"Earlier, you said on the street that you wanted a goddess to keep you. I think you're rather nice, so I've decided to fulfill your little wish~~~"
"Huh?"
Hearing Freya's words, Cao Ye froze, then broke into a bitter smile.
Honestly, among all the Familias in Orario, while the Freya Familia was the strongest, it was not the best choice in his mind.
That was because everyone in the Freya Familia was Freya's ultimate simp.
Everyone saw one another as "potential enemies" and did not get along. Even though they would absolutely carry out any order under Freya's command, the hostility within the Familia would never disappear.
Moreover, everyone who joined the Freya Familia had to undergo a "baptism."
Before reaching Level 5, they had to fight and slaughter desperately in the Battlefield Wilderness until they met the "standard."
That was why, although the Freya Familia was the strongest in Orario, its members were rarely seen. Even when people were lucky enough to encounter one, it was usually someone famous, such as Ottar.
If Freya "kept" him in such a brutal environment, Cao Ye was truly afraid that one day, with a single careless mistake, those people in the Freya Familia would chop him into pieces!
Cao Ye really wanted to say, Sister, this humble one cannot bear such favor!
The Goddess of Beauty, Freya!
Seeing Cao Ye's face practically screaming "refusal," Freya was a little displeased.
She was the Goddess of Beauty, and the chief goddess of Orario's strongest Familia. She was willing to lower herself to keep him, yet instead of being grateful beyond measure, he actually wanted to refuse. That was rather ungrateful.
"What? Am I not worthy of keeping you?"
The instant those words fell, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped several degrees.
Cao Ye immediately sobered up. The situation was no longer about whether he was willing; it was about how she intended to deal with him.
"Of course that's not what I mean. It's just that I'm nothing but trash. How could I possibly be worthy of Your Grace's 'favor'?"
"No, you are worthy."
Freya gazed at Cao Ye and gave a mysterious smile. The charm she casually exuded made his heart sway.
As the Goddess of Beauty, Freya did not need to deliberately display her charm. A mere unconscious gesture was enough to make all humans and gods fall for her.
"What exactly do you want, Goddess Freya?"
Looking at Freya, Cao Ye decided to stop holding back.
He knew this goddess liked children with "shining souls," but his own soul could hardly be considered shining.
Not to mention that he carried All the World's Evil. Cao Ye did not even know whether he still counted as human.
"You really are impatient~"
Freya swirled the wineglass in her hand, and the scarlet wine rippled continuously as the entire room fell silent.
Cao Ye watched Freya and sighed inwardly. Now that he had fallen into this woman's hands, he had no idea whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
"What is your name?"
Freya's voice suddenly rang out again.
"Cao Ye~"
"Cao Ye? What a strange name. What is your surname?"
"Cao is my surname. Ye is my given name."
"You aren't from this world, are you~"
"Mhm~"
In this world, the gods had their divine power sealed and were no different from ordinary people.
However, no one could lie before a god, because gods could "see" the truth.
For the sake of his life, he could not lie. After all, his life was in her hands. Cao Ye had no doubt that if Freya gave the order, an Ottar would walk in from outside and kill him.
At Cao Ye's answer, Freya's smile did not change in the slightest, but inwardly, she was mildly shocked.
The gods had existed in this world for hundreds of millions of years. Over such a long period, they had experienced everything and naturally lost interest in all things.
That was why they had sealed their divine power, descended to the Lower World, lived among mortals, formed Familias, and sought amusement.
Now, a human from another world stood before her. Freya was somewhat excited, because a new world represented the unknown—and amusement.
"I'm very curious how you came to this world, and why you carry such 'evil.'"
"I don't know either. Honestly, I somehow ended up in this world, and then I came to carry All the World's Evil."
"All the World's Evil, hm~"
Freya watched Cao Ye. He was not lying. The answer disappointed her somewhat, though only slightly. Even the gods had no way to cross between worlds, so how could an ordinary human possibly do so?
Still, if she possessed a "child from another world," then perhaps in the future, she might have the chance to come into contact with another world.
Furthermore, Freya had also seen Cao Ye's "specialness." Setting everything else aside, All the World's Evil alone had greatly surprised her.
"Today, you made a request on the street, and I answered it. From now on, you are mine. Do you have any objections?"
"No, Goddess Freya."
What else could he say? Cao Ye was fish on the chopping block now, left only to be carved up by others.
Tap—
At that moment, Freya tossed a card in front of Cao Ye.
The entire card was made from a translucent crystal and looked incredibly expensive. Cao Ye glanced at Freya, his head full of question marks.
"This is a crystal card issued by the Guild. You can borrow one million Valis from the Guild every month."
"Uh~"
This left Cao Ye dumbfounded. Being able to borrow a million Valis every month—was this not a credit card?
But why was she giving him one?
"Every month, the Familia settles its accounts with the Guild, so you can use this card however you like."
Well, case closed. This really was an allowance from being kept.
Cao Ye looked at the crystal card on the table, then at Freya, and unconsciously swallowed. Was he really being kept?
And if he was being kept, would he need to "serve" her too?
Should I agree? Should I agree? Or should I agree?
Cao Ye's gaze involuntarily fell upon Freya.
As the Goddess of Beauty, Freya possessed an absolutely peerless golden-ratio figure. Her long, slender legs, skin so fair it seemed ready to break at a touch, and every inch of her body radiated feminine charm.
Especially her crystalline, jade-like feet, which made Cao Ye's heartbeat quicken.
In truth, every man had his own preferences, and Cao Ye just happened to be a leg man—and a foot man.
"Now, lie on the bed and take off your clothes~~~"
Freya's voice drifted over, instantly lifting Cao Ye's spirits and stirring a hint of excitement in his heart.
As a wizard in his twenties, he usually had little contact with women. Yet right off the bat, he had been kept by a goddess.
And now they were getting straight to the point. It left him a little flustered.
Seeing the change in Cao Ye's expression, Freya was initially puzzled, but then she understood. He looked tall and strong, and he was not young either. Could it be that he had never been with a woman before?
Freya was not overthinking it. Cao Ye's expression was simply too easy to read.
At that thought, Freya smiled. After all, for an experienced seductress, teasing a virgin was one of life's great pleasures.
Rustle, rustle.
By then, Cao Ye had already taken off his coat and shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.
Before transmigrating, Cao Ye had been an ordinary person, somewhat overweight. He weighed around eighty-five kilograms, with a ring of flab around his stomach and fat on his legs as well.
But after coming to this world and merging with All the World's Evil, Cao Ye's body had been cleansed and remade.
Now, Cao Ye could absolutely be described as slim in clothes and muscular without them.
A stud's narrow waist! Scorpio abs! Mermaid lines! The rod of love! Arms like qilins!
Seeing this, surprise flashed through Freya's eyes, but she quickly returned to calm.
Miracle of Absolute Evil!
After examining Cao Ye's physique, Freya nodded slightly.
"Nice body. Quite 'beautiful'~"
As Freya looked at Cao Ye's body, there was not the slightest "desire" in her eyes—only appreciation, as though Cao Ye were a work of "art."
As the Goddess of Beauty, Freya would always take an extra look at beautiful things.
No one in Orario had trained their body into such a shape.
They were either the handsome type, such as elves. Blessed with natural advantages, elves never lacked handsome men.
Or they were the brawny type, covered head to toe in rough muscles, with almost no connection to beauty. They simply gave off an intimidating impression.
Someone like Cao Ye was likely one of a kind—the "aesthetic" of modern society.
"Alright, lie facedown over there~"
"Uh, lie facedown?"
Cao Ye was puzzled by Freya's words. What was he supposed to "do" while lying facedown?
"If you don't lie down, how am I supposed to give you my 'Blessing'?"
As she spoke, Freya elegantly set down her wineglass, a "pleased" smile appearing on her face.
At this point, how could Cao Ye possibly not understand? He had been played.
Still, that made him sigh in relief. He had thought he would have to give up his virginity here, and it had made him nervous.
After that came disappointment. After all, spending a night of passion with a goddess was highly tempting to any man.
Especially when that goddess was Freya, the Goddess of Beauty.
