38. Wives, do I look like a pretty boy?
In that instant, I thought I had stumbled into some “villain’s” ambush! But soon, the familiar fragrance from the hands that “dragged” me into the room eased my mind. Because, the “death script” hadn’t appeared; at a time like this, who else could be “lying in wait” for me in my room…
Sure enough, when I opened my eyes again, I saw the two big shots in front of me—Ke Fei Er with her hands on her hips, and Ni Lu with her arms crossed. They looked like they had been waiting for me here for a long time. After “dragging me in,” they both fell silent, just staring at me.
Now I couldn’t afford to be lax! My sixth sense—no, I should say the intuition of being a man—was ringing alarm bells in my mind! I immediately put on a smile for the two big shots in front of me, neither of whom I could afford to offend.
“Ke Fei Er, Ni Lu, it’s quite rare to see you both here together~ What’s going on?”
You see, the relationship between Ke Fei Er and Ni Lu is quite delicate right now. They can coexist peacefully on some important issues, but as soon as they catch even the slightest excuse, they can start bickering with each other. To prevent such a situation from happening in front of me, they must have made some secret “rules” behind my back, agreeing not to appear together in front of me unless absolutely necessary.
And at this moment, not only did Ke Fei Er and Ni Lu appear in my room at this time, but even… judging by their harmonious demeanor, it seemed that they had…
【Ke Fei Er and Ni Lu have temporarily united their front!】
Once the script was out, as long as I still had a bit of self-awareness as a man, I would definitely know why they both appeared together and even “dragged” me in! After all, this scene looked very much like: the husband, indulging in pleasures outside, returning home to be lectured by his wives at the foot of the bed, and my situation might be even more challenging because I had two wives blocking me.
“Don’t rush me, I haven’t even had the chance to explain yet!”
I immediately raised both hands in surrender, “I just took Lin Ke to drop Rose off at home, and then came back with her. It’s that simple.”
“Do you still have the nerve to say that! You didn’t even tell us, and why did it have to be in the middle of the night?” Ke Fei Er’s complaint was laced with a hint of urgency. “I couldn’t sleep tonight, so I thought I’d come find you, but when I got here, the room was empty. I almost had Ikaros come looking for you.”
“Hmm? Ke Fei Er, what did you just say you wanted to do tonight?”
Before Ke Fei Er could finish her sentence, Nilu frowned again.
To prevent the situation from becoming even more complicated, I quickly stopped Ke Fei Er from continuing. As for sending Rose home…
“Isn’t it because Rose has her day and night mixed up? Since it’s nighttime and you were resting, I didn’t want to disturb you.”
This was an explanation, and it was the truth. After all, I hadn’t done anything wrong, so my response was naturally justified. But soon I realized: Ke Fei Er and Nilu “blocking the door” at this hour might just be an excuse; they seemed to simply want to express their concerns and jealousy about “Lin Ke suddenly becoming fashionable and charming.”
After all, if Nilu didn’t mention it, as soon as Ke Fei Er spoke, I could tell what was on her mind.
Tonight, Ke Fei Er and Nilu were very much in sync. Even though Ke Fei Er had just let slip some dangerous content, Nilu surprisingly shook her head and chose to ignore it.
In the next moment, they quickly moved in from either side, tugging at my sleeves, and then… they pulled off my coat. Just pulling it off wasn’t enough; Ke Fei Er even sniffed it.
“The scent is strong, flashy yet insubstantial. It seems that no matter the price or quality, the perfumes from the United Kingdom of Meri can’t compare to our Great Ying Empire. Right, you charlatan?”
“Exactly! Our Great Ying Empire’s perfumes are simply the best! Good goods paired with beautiful people, a perfect match!”
At this point, how could I dare to disagree? My dear wife wasn’t talking about perfume; she was clearly referring to something else.
As for Nilu, she handed my recently removed coat to the fire fairy, Jias.
“This time, the young lady’s opinion is indeed correct. Who knows if there are any ‘harmful substances’ in the perfume? Jias, take it outside and burn it.”
Well… if there are harmful substances, shouldn’t you be more concerned about Lin Ke, who sprayed this stuff?
This sour smell is enough for me to drink a whole pot of it; why are there two servings tonight?
The two girls who had just stripped me of my coat were now eyeing my pants.
“Have mercy, oh great one!”
If you two take my pants off as well, it’s not that I’m feeling guilty; I’m just afraid of what uncontrollable things might happen afterward!
“Then why did you run off with her alone!”
Kephir finally gave up her original plan and instead pinched my face with her hand.
Nilu didn’t do the same; she just leaned in closer and added beside me.
“Your Majesty, knowing the other party’s ‘intentions’ yet still going ‘solo’ like this, it’s hard for me to… sigh, to let us feel at ease.”
“Exactly!”
Kephir, who was on the same page, nodded and then proceeded to “poke” and “touch” all over my body. It looked very much like she was taking advantage of the situation, but I didn’t dare to say anything.
“Fortunately, this time nothing happened. What if someone had planted some strange ‘suggestion’ in you, and you just followed someone else and disappeared?”
Of course, Nilu wouldn’t just watch Kephir’s antics; before long, she too began to mimic Kephir, getting hands-on with me.
You two! With this kind of behavior, it’s even less like you’re helping me “check” things!
“Mr. O’Keefe, I think… from now on, whatever you do, it’s better to take one of us along, especially since you’re already in a dangerous situation.”
“And O’Keefe, if that ‘person’ you mentioned really takes action, what should we do?”
As they spoke, they drew closer, with Kephir and Nilu whispering in my ears, one on the left and one on the right. Although I felt their “inquisitive approach” was somewhat “ulterior,” I couldn’t afford to stop them at the moment.
It’s rare for Kephir and Nilu to not argue in a day; I wanted to cherish this rare scene!
“You don’t need to follow me. No, that’s not quite right; I should say… from now on, no matter what I do, you don’t need to be too ‘nervous.’ Just do what you’re supposed to do every day, without suddenly becoming extreme in your actions. The ‘danger’ I foresaw in this ‘prophecy’ is indeed real, but what I just said is the best ‘response method.’ You don’t need to stick to me all the time; that’s actually the best protection.”
After explaining my reason for saying goodbye to Rose with Linka tonight, I suddenly thought of something else that concerned me and immediately asked the two girls.
“By the way… Kephir, Nilu, do I look like a pretty boy?”
“……”
“～”
Don’t both of you suddenly let go at this moment! I’m really hurt!
