Chapter 1165: Yam and Elara
Chapter 1165: Yam and Elara
A month passed.
Standing on an arched bridge, leaning against the stone railing, Lith and his ladies watched many gondolas glide towards them.
Standing beside Keith, Lith suddenly elbowed her sides when he noticed a particular gondola's passengers.
"Heh. You kept asking why I spent so much time with the boy, right?"
He caught the attention of the ladies and they turned to look at him, wondering what he was saying and to whom.
Keith, knowing she hadn't asked him such a question, rolled her eyes and replied, "Didn't ask."
"…" The ladies raised their eyebrows in amusement at the reply.
Fanny was extra surprised watching her mother's reaction. Lately, she had been showing a lot of emotions and although she still spoke in one-liners, the frequency of that had definitely increased!
Except Fanny and Lith, the ladies couldn't figure out what Keith meant by her two words.
Lith leaned towards Keith's face and pointed at a wrong boat coming towards them.
"Look there, you'll know soon."
Keith tried to see in the direction where Lith was pointing at, but couldn't see anyone remotely similar to the Asuras.
"Who?" Keith asked. Her one word question meaning: "whom are you asking me to look at?"
"Them." Lith continued to point at the wrong boat despite knowing the meaning behind Keith's question.
"Can't see." Keith stated she couldn't see anyone familiar.
"Tch. Tch. Babe, you gotta see clearly. Wait, let me help you…"
Lith leaned further close to her, to the point where his face was an inch away from getting glued to Keith's pristine, smooth cheek.
His index finger was in front of his and Keith's eyes, and it was pointing at the correct boat now.
"You see there… that gondola…"
Keith squinted her eyes and actually someone familiar. It was a young boy, seated beside whom was a tall lady in gothic black dress.
Lith leaned further close, gluing his face completely with Keith's.
"…behind that boy… look at those people…"
Keith was distracted from the facial skin-ship by having her attention focused on a group of men seated right behind Yam and Elara.
The people had a peculiar serious expression on their faces as they sat, clearly not those of tourists having a good time like Yam and Elara.
Keith was devoted and looking.
The others? Not so much.
Especially Fanny, who froze in her spot in shock, her mind absolutely in shambles.
'M-m-mom!?!'
Fanny screamed internally in shock.
Sylvia, who always stayed expressionless, had surprise flash in her eyes and facepalmed as if she had just seen something sinful.
Fei was somewhat amused, but not surprised, whereas Qingshan and Wang Wei did not know the context and felt as if it was just another normal day.
"Those guys are the people we need to look for. And the one who would give us every detail will be none other than Yam."
"Hm." Keith hummed in agreement.
"Those guys have their cultivation sealed to resemble mortals with Yam and Elara being the only ones retaining their strength. Yam is sure to be made the scapegoat in case things go south, but of course…"
Lith had his share of skin-ship and got away, getting serious about his business.
"…that won't happen. We're here to make sure they succeed."
…..
For the past few weeks, Yam unknowingly had everything sail smoothly.
The elders of the clan cross-checked the thing he brought and rewarded him heftily, elevating his status in the clan by a long shot.
Yam got a lot of attention, but somewhere he felt all of that meant nothing.
When he was at his lowest, nobody cared. Now that he was somewhat influential, everybody wanted to be with him.
Yam learnt the truth of the world: It only cared when you succeeded. If you're at your lowest, the world would kick you in the guts and push you further down, such was the way of life.
However, there were two people who were with him when no one else cared.
One of them was a stranger he had never met before and the other was the love of his life.
They saw the potential in him when others didn't. They cared about him when others didn't, and they believed in him, when others didn't.
Yam was currently seated beside one of those two people, and while getting cuddled by his love Elara, he thought,
'I hope I get to see Mr. Woods again.'
He was back in the Everlasting Sunset World and hoped to see the man who changed his life again. He wanted to thank him and express his gratitude.
Thunkk!
The boat was docked at the pier and the boatman gestured to everyone to get off.
"Let's go, babe." Elara got up and gave her hand to Yam, helping him get up as well.
The two got off the boat and walked up the cobblestone stairs, standing at a narrow street filled with colorful, vibrant houses.
"Where next?" A hoarse voice interrogated.
"Hurry up boy, we don't have the whole day with us." A tall, burly Asura said as he neared Yam.
Elara did not like the way these men spoke. If it wasn't for Yam's strict warning to not meddle with them, she would've shoved the faces of these pigs on the ground and slided it across like a crayon, painting the streets with blood and brains.
"This way…"
Yam did not mind their sharp tongues and walked down the streets, taking random turns into alleys and crossing many arched bridges over the canal waters.
He stopped when he saw a coffee shop containing cats and bustling with customers. There was nothing peculiar about it.
Yam went past it, into the alley beside, and entered the shop through the back door. Elara and the men followed.
Five steps to the left, they stopped before the changing room.
Yam showed them the door and said, "This is it."
"Open it." A man commanded.
Yam pulled the door and a blue dimensional gate opened right before their eyes.
The men did not speak for a solid minute and watched the gate.
"If this is real…" One of the men said.
"Don't speak. Let's go inside first and see whether it's a trap or not."
"You're right."
"Boy… you better be prepared if anything funny happens…" A deep voice warned Yam.
Yam simply bowed and didn't respond.
All the men with Yam walked inside.
"Your job's done?" Elara asked.
"Not yet. They will be back in a few minutes."
"Sigh…" Elara clutched her forehead and shook her head. "I still wonder why you're listening to them. You don't even need them anymore."
Yam nodded his head. "I don't, but the man who made me who I am today… I am doing it for him. Our business is not over yet, so I have to go through this."
Yam then looked up, into Elara's beautiful eyes. He held her hands and said in a gentle tone, "He's the reason I got to meet you. This is the least I could do for him."
Elara smiled and squatted down, looking Yam up in the eyes like he did to her a second ago.
She wore heels today, so she was extra tall, but Yam was a little less than a head taller than her when she squatted like that.
Nevertheless, he had to look down to meet her eye level.
Elara held Yam's face and said, "I am glad you met him, and he led you to me. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be hearing my precious baby's moans every night and see his legs up in the air, shivering from pleasure."
Yam's face turned red like a tomato. "Baby! We talked about this! Not in public!"
"Fufu, right, right. I'm sorry." Elara chuckled and shook her head.
"Though, I still have to say that it's not a coincidence you met me. That man knew what he was doing and who he was putting you up against."
"Hm?" Yam tilted his head in confusion.
Elara smirked. "Oh my poor innocent babe… you might have not known it, but I was not right in the head from the very start. I myself didn't know that I needed a pure, innocent, shy, kind and submissive virgin baby boy until I met you."
"That crafty man did not just figure you out, but me as well. And this all happened without even him having to talk to me or come in close proximity. Do you know what this means?"
Elara squished Yam's face and asked.
Yam shook his head.
Elara grinned. "This means that you've met someone big. Like really, really, big. Something major is going to happen soon."
"Eh?"
Elara got up when she saw Yam's confused face. She chuckled and said, "You don't have to think too much. Leave everything to me. For now…"
Elara lifted her skirt up and pulled Yam inside, stuffing his face on her bare, smooth pussy lips.
"B-b-babe!?"
"Fufu… I didn't wear panties specifically for this! Enjoy your meal~~!"
And with that, a pure man was taken another step down the abyss, inching closer to the point of no-return each day.
