Chapter 300
Even though that beautiful body was right beside her, Lamaline seemed to be bewitched, her neck tense, not daring to even turn her head.
Even so, large swaths of fair skin still entered her field of vision without any obstruction.
The swaying softness, the graceful curves, and the alluring posture.
The more Lamaline tried to resist looking, the more her mind conjured up that alluring scene.
A whisper slowly reached her ears.
Take a look...
Just one glance.
Maria won't find out...
Glug~
Lamaline swallowed hard.
Her reason and emotion began to clash, but in less than a moment, reason was defeated.
What fueled her emotional excitement was what she felt.
That softness pressed gently against her back.
It was like a pair of hands gently kneading her neck, which wasn't covered by her clothes...
Slightly cool, soft, and elastic.
"<The Adventures of the One-Horned Sheep>, isn't that a fairy tale? Do you like this type of story?"
Maria bent slightly, her slender waist almost encircling her, and leaned her soft body against Lamaline's hands.
In her spare time, Maria would also read many books from this world, and the variety of books was not limited to any particular genre.
Therefore, she clearly recognized what the book in the girl's hand was.
It's an ordinary collection of fairy tales; the content isn't particularly interesting, but it's adequate as a children's book.
She just hadn't expected that someone as aloof and mysterious Lamaline would actually enjoy watching this kind of thing.
That's quite a contrast.
Thinking to herself, Maria fed herself a glass of water.
Meanwhile, Lamaline was standing in front of her, had also completely lost her composure.
Her skin turned red, and her body temperature rose several degrees in a short period of time.
Her pink lips exhaled a breath of desire, and her wide eyes turned slightly, her stiff neck turning as she looked to her side.
So white...
And...
So soft...
Feeling the object touching her cheek, Lamaline could hardly resist the urge to take a bite.
His gaze began to glaze over.
But when she came to her senses, she was shocked to find...
My lips have already touched them!
An unprecedented experience struck her mind like lightning, making her increasingly unable to control herself.
The strong scent of incense, like an iron chain, pierced through her body and locked her mind tightly.
As her head drooped uncontrollably, her softness also deformed.
So... so comfortable...
As she basked in that unique feeling, Lamaline's eyes widened.
But she hadn't had time to indulge in this tenderness.
Then a slightly cool female voice came through again.
"What's wrong?"
Lamaline stiffly raised her head.
Right above her, Maria blinked her calm gray eyes, looking this way.
Maria didn't feel much about Lamaline taking advantage of her.
She was just a little strange.
They're just physical; don't the two of them hold hands in public all the time for performances?
Lamaline didn't react this way back then, did she?
Is it because... the body is more flexible here?
Maria.
She dedicated the most important period of her life to hunting, so much so that now some of the more normal things are difficult for her to understand.
It's like she knows that people have desires, but she doesn't really understand what desires actually feel like.
Will seeing just a body trigger any special emotional reactions?
I don't understand.
Maria pondered for a moment, then gently took the girl's hand and placed it on her chest.
"Are you curious?"
"Forehead..."
Lamaline was speechless with astonishment.
Her breathing stopped completely because of Maria's 'generosity', and her heart began to race at an alarming rate.
No... no...
Maria...
You...
"You and I are similar... Is there any difference that bothers you?"
As Maria spoke, she gently pressed the girl's hand.
She felt that something different about herself had piqued the girl's curiosity.
Once you've experienced it once, you won't think about it anymore.
After all, she had too many secrets, and keeping them hidden would only make the girl overthink things.
It would be better to just show some things openly.
But clearly, she had misjudged the girl's thoughts.
Lamaline pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted. After taking several deep breaths, she finally mustered the courage to look into Maria's eyes.
I didn't dare to move.
"Um... your clothes..."
"The Banshees' clothes are a bit too cumbersome and inconvenient to wear."
Maria shook her head.
Because of the requirements of her identity, her original hunting clothes were temporarily preserved, and she usually wore the clothes of the Banshees.
This kind of clothing is essentially not much different from formal wear; it's largely about looking good, and movement is also taken into consideration, but the aspect of wearing it is not taken into account.
Although her hunting attire was somewhat cumbersome, it was ultimately made for hunting and was essentially quite practical.
"Actually... there are also simpler pajamas available."
Lamaline suppressed her turbulent emotions, stiffly walked to the side, and slowly took out a set of decent pajamas from the room for Maria. Seeing Maria tilting her head slightly, she could only grit her teeth and carefully change her clothes.
Throughout the entire process, her breathing never calmed down!
Maria noticed the other person's unusual behavior, paused for a moment, and then asked a question.
"Are you finding it difficult to adjust?"
"... a little."
"I understand... I'll be more careful in the future."
Realizing that the other person, Ying Keni, might not be just curious, but rather simply uncomfortable to look at, Maria nodded slightly.
Since that's the case, I should be more careful in the future...
What she didn't notice was that as she made her decision, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed across Lamaline's face.
However, Lamaline remained rational; she quickly composed herself and raised her head again.
"All dressed."
"Um..."
Taking a slight step back and feeling the comfort of her long dress, Maria glanced down a few times and then turned slightly.
The billowing hem of her skirt made her look like a black flower...
Stunningly beautiful...
"Hmm... it won't affect our operations."
Maria was quite satisfied with feeling her own body.
It doesn't affect operations, that's good.
But when Maria looked up...
Lamaline nearby, hurriedly ran into the bathroom.
He looked somewhat disheveled.
"Um?"
Maria tilted her head in confusion.
In the bathroom, without even changing her clothes, Lamaline turned around and started rinsing her body with the coldest water to lower her body temperature.
She hung her head, her face flushed crimson...
She didn't know how much time had passed, but after Lamaline finally calmed down, she hesitantly walked out of the bathroom.
Outside, Maria was already lying in bed, flipping through a book.
"Is it clean?"
Maria asked the question without looking up.
Lamaline also seemed somewhat reserved in front of Maria.
She nodded awkwardly.
"Um."
"A maid just came over here."
Maria ignored the girl's emotions and turned to point at the table.
She left you a letter.
"A letter?"
When the topic turned to business, Lamaline quickly snapped out of her reverie.
She walked quickly to the table and, sure enough, saw the sealed envelope.
After flipping through both sides and finding no signature, she hesitantly opened it and began to read it carefully.
Before long, her brows furrowed.
"What's wrong?"
Maria was also curious when she saw the girl's appearance.
