Chapter 46

If he hadn't been holding me, I'm afraid I would have collapsed to the ground!

To avoid biting his tongue, I could only relax and let him bite and suck, feeling like I was a beverage can. He licked his lips, and a silvery thread connected our tongues, sliding down my open mouth to my neck, making me blush uncontrollably. I heard Mel chuckle, swallowing all the clear liquid that came out, and then carefully licking away the saliva stuck to my skin... Mmm... He even sucked on the tip of my tongue!

Oh my god, my ears must be steaming hot!

Mel looked like he'd just eaten something delicious, and I couldn't help but swallow hard. I turned around and kissed him... Mmm... Mel didn't eat pudding today, but his lips still tasted sweet! No wonder he was kissing me so happily. Ah... My mouth was full of Mel's scent...

... Waaah... Mel, be gentle... You're going to swallow my tongue... Ugh...

During our brief respite, we checked on the apprentices individually. Apart from Moli, who remained swollen like a ball, there was no danger whatsoever.

"Phew... Let's continue... Anna once told me that this can relax the mind and body and relieve anxiety." Mel said earnestly. The two people across from us were still fast asleep. In order not to disturb their rest, Mel cast a soundproof spell over them, then withdrew her hand and stroked my chest through my clothes.

I don't have any particularly ticklish spots on my body, but the places Mel touches feel hot and itchy, and I really want him to pinch and scratch them harder.

"Mmm... that feels so good." I hugged his shoulders and kissed his cheek. "Mel... give the other side... give the other side a little too!"

"Okay!" Mel kissed me back. "Xipei's nipples are so bouncy, I can't get enough of them!"

Mmm... it feels so good to be touched... Mel is so amazing!

My hand slid down his shoulder, mimicking his movements as I kneaded and pinched him. Mel tilted his head back with pleasure, squinted his eyes, and kept softly calling my name.

We stroked each other for a while, then hugged each other contentedly and rested in our chairs. Lusien was still asleep at the table, but I have to admire the knight; he could even sit upright and proper while sleeping. I thought someone had cast a petrifying spell on him. Priest Luolan, on the other hand, was completely draped over the knight. His sleeping posture was quite bold. Because of the limited space, none of us could lie down to sleep, so Priest Luolan straddled Lusien's lap, resting his head on his shoulder and fast asleep, soundly.

... Only Reynold's eyes were wide open like saucers.

Oh... I forgot about him when I cast the soundproofing spell.

I couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong with your eyes? They're bloodshot. Aren't you going to get some sleep?"

Mel adjusted my position while holding me. "Anyway, he's fragile. If a fight breaks out, he just needs to find a place to hide."

That's right. Our team would never let His Excellency the Speaker get into a fight. Besides, Reynold is indeed very afraid of fighting. In the past, when I asked him to spar with me, he would never agree and would try every possible excuse to refuse.

"Ciprins, we're on a date. Have you ever seen anyone start a fight on a date?"

That's what he said at the time.

"Mel, now we have a chance to have a real match!"

"Great!" Mel's eyes lit up. "How about we have a freezing spell contest first? When we encounter an enemy, we'll just use freezing spells and see who freezes faster and melts slower?"

"Alright! After this, we can try lightning, fireballs..."

See, this is the normal procedure for a mage's date!

Mel hugged me again. "Ignore him, let's continue, Xipei. Can I put my hand inside your clothes and touch you again?"

I nodded, Mel became even happier. He hugged me tightly with delight, and I hugged him back. Of course, it wasn't just him who wanted to touch me; I wanted to touch him too! This kind of unhindered skin-to-skin contact really relaxes the body and mind and slows down the nerves. Just thinking that the person my fingers were touching was my favorite Mel, without having to do anything, made me so excited that my whole body was trembling.

Holding Mel in my arms gives me a strange, fearless feeling. I used to scoff at these kinds of romance novels when Moli told me about them, but now reality is really mocking me.

But then I noticed a strange sound coming from Reynold's throat, like he'd swallowed a whole giant toad and was about to spit it out... Oh, I'm not trying to describe it so disgustingly, because the witches in the northern snowy mountains like to do this; they curse their poor victims to make them vomit toads... I've had the misfortune of seeing a victim with a giant toad stuck in his esophagus, and he had a similar expression to Reynold.

I couldn't resist casting a detection spell to check if Reynold was alright. Thankfully, he was fine, and there was definitely no toad in his throat.

Mel didn't want to pay any attention to Reynold, so he simply released a layer of black mist, enveloping us in it.

That solves the problem!

Chapter 46

Mel eagerly tore open my clothes, and I started to unbutton his. Our robes were the same style, so we reached inside almost simultaneously, and then we both let out a pleasant sigh almost at the same time.

"... Xipei, pinch the other side!" Mel's long hair fell down, brushing against my wrist, making me feel itchy inside.

Our cheeks pressed together, rubbing gently, tongues licking tongues, and for me... this pleasure was probably second only to... well, second only to when I received that ancient sage's manuscript back then?

"Ah!" I couldn't help but arch my back, because Mel had reached out to... um... Luckily, our shielding spell was very powerful, and we didn't need to use our mental energy to maintain it after it was thrown out, otherwise this kind of restricted-level scene would have been broadcast to the public -- because I was 100% sure that in this state, I would not be able to cast spells stably and accurately at all!

This is terrible! This is almost more exciting than when I received the manuscripts of the ancient sages...

We needed to kiss each other to stop the sounds in our throats... because both Mel and I felt that even when doing this, shouting was still very unbecoming of a mage's dignified status... but after kissing, the sounds turned into sobs, and I heard our voices mixed together, so pleasant that it made me blush, and I couldn't help but get lost in it.

... I'm holding Mel in my arms...

But why do I always feel... that Mel's technique is better than mine?

... Because... because I released faster than him!

It was so intense that I tasted my own salty tears in my mouth, oh... how embarrassing!

Then, I saw him actually stick out his tender red tongue and lick up everything on his hand... Oh my god, he ate it all! Watching him lick his long, slender fingers one by one, I felt like I was... almost forgetting who I am! I gasped for breath, trying hard to remember how he did it. I could feel the object in my hand... um... it was getting hotter and hotter, but... no matter how hard I tried, I was just one step away...

Hmm... I thought about it for a moment, then lowered my head, opened my mouth, and took it in.

... Mmm... I'm so full I can barely move my tongue...

"Ah... Xipei... Xipei!" Mel looked up and kept calling my name. I hugged his waist so I could swallow the food in my mouth deeper. Mel stroked the back of my neck, grabbed my hair, his fingers trembling, and his voice sounded like he was breathing heavily.

... Ugh... This is so tiring...

No wonder my back and legs ached when I woke up yesterday... Hmm...

I closed my eyes, Mel held me tightly, inhaling deeply. I swallowed the taste of Mel in my throat... Mmm...

I love Mel so much!

By the time we had packed up and reorganized, the airship was announcing that we were about to arrive at the industrial town of the Dwarven Gray Mountain Kingdom. A good mage must be good at arithmetic, and the ability to manage time reasonably and effectively is an essential skill for a mage. Although no magic involving time can be mastered by humans outside the realm of the gods, that does not mean we cannot learn to plan and manage time!
