"General Yudal was just joking. I am just an ordinary person..."

"Haha! Ordinary people cannot come and go freely in the wave of monsters!" Yudal laughed and then his subordinates quietly reported something to him, causing his brow to furrow.

"I understand, you can go down first!" Yudal said to his subordinate, then turned to Bexia and said, "Although you are the guard knight I appointed for my niece, I still have to ask, are you interested in joining my ranks? I think you are very suitable for this battlefield!"

"Sorry, I haven't been in Dark Border for long, and I still have academic obligations to fulfill. Maybe I will consider it after that."

"Well then! I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't chat with you anymore!" Yudal walked halfway and suddenly turned back, saying, "Kid, Ophelia is a good girl, you should seize the opportunity. I have high hopes for you."

"Uh..." Bexia looked at Yudal who was grinning mischievously, completely contrasting with his dignified general appearance. This guy actually flirted with her, making her speechless.

Bexia returned to the inn with Sakuya, cleaned off the bloodstains on her body, and never went out again. As for Ophelia, she would visit her tomorrow. After all, they had just experienced a war, and Ophelia needed rest. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to disturb her right now.

Picking up the Town Soul Bagua Diagram, the Calmness Charm inside already had a pale blue glow overall. With the souls of thousands of monsters absorbed in the battle just now, the Calmness Charm was only halfway successful. It would probably require absorbing thousands more souls.

A night passed in the blink of an eye, and early in the morning, Bexia arrived at Ophelia's residence with Sakuya. The guards here had already received orders and would not hinder Bexia's arrival.

"Lady Bexia, you've come!" Maid Joanna greeted Bexia with a slight bow, which was basic etiquette for a maid.

"Hello, I wonder how Princess Ophelia is doing?" Bexia asked.

"Princess said that you can go see her on your own!" Joanna replied.

"Alright then!" Bexia nodded and was about to go find Ophelia when Joanna stopped her.

"Princess said that you can go alone, but this young lady can't." Joanna continued, "But please rest assured, Lady Bexia, I will take care of this young lady!"

"Thank you then!" Bexia didn't think much about it and patted Sakuya's head.

"Wait here for me, okay?"

"Okay!" Sakuya nodded.

Bexia followed her memory of yesterday's route and arrived in front of Ophelia's room. Without thinking too much, she pushed open the door and walked in, but she didn't expect Ophelia to have just gotten up and was changing clothes in front of the mirror. The sudden sound of the door opening scared her, causing her to tremble and her clothes to slip off, exposing her body clad only in important areas covered by underwear.

"... Sorry, I didn't know you were changing clothes, Ophelia!" Bexia directly froze, staring blankly at Ophelia futilely covering her chest, half-hidden and half-revealed, which only served to arouse desire.

"... Turn around already!" Ophelia said indignantly.

"Oh... oh!" Bexia immediately turned around, the sound of rustling clothes coming from behind. After a moment, Ophelia's voice came again.

"Alright, you can turn back now!"

Just as Bexia had turned around, he saw Ophelia "dressed up," wearing a faintly visible shirt on top of what she had just been wearing and a robe on top of that. Her smooth, fair legs were exposed completely, just up to her thighs, and Bexia couldn't help but have the urge to tear off that shirt.

He cursed himself inwardly. Unbeknownst to him, he seemed to have changed a lot, no longer the clueless fool he used to be. He was becoming increasingly susceptible to casual temptations, and he wondered if this would lead to trouble.

"Are you staring? Wasn't it nice earlier?" Ophelia wiggled her flawless, long legs without any concern, coming over to stand in front of Bexia. The shirt she was wearing really intensified her allure.

"I didn't mean to!" Bexia quickly protested his innocence.

"I didn't ask you that!" Ophelia rolled her eyes at him.

"So, does that mean I have no charm left?"

"I didn't mean it like that..."

"Then, do you think I'm beautiful?"

Damn! Bexia roared inwardly. When a woman asks this kind of question, it's a no-win situation! He thought Ophelia might be angry, so she was asking like this. He nodded and said, "Beautiful!"

"How beautiful? Do you want to look again?" Ophelia lightly shook her robe, and it fell to the ground, revealing the shirt she was wearing underneath. Her fragrant shoulders, along with half of her rounded chest, were exposed, truly tempting.

"I didn't mean to!" Bexia felt like crying, feeling unfairly treated. He really didn't mean to, it was just an accident.

"You fool!" Ophelia gave his head a knock when she saw his distress. Then, she hugged him with both arms and pressed her rosy, tender lips against his, emitting a faint warmth and an incredibly enticing fragrance.

Only after a long time did Ophelia release her lips. Her face was flushed, and Bexia could feel her body temperature rise through the thin shirt. She shyly glanced at Bexia and snuggled into his arms.

Bexia reached out and held Ophelia's relaxed body. If he still didn't understand anything at this point, he might as well jump off a building. He carried Ophelia horizontally and walked directly to her bed, sitting down.

"Ophelia, I..."

"Call me Ophelia from now on!"

"...Oh! Well, Ophelia..."

"Don't say anything, just hold me!" Ophelia said dominantly. Bexia could only comply, holding her tighter. The faint fragrance made him involuntarily lower his head, revealing a sight of pure whiteness, along with the faintly visible two cherry-red points.

Serving Ophelia from above, that dress shirt was a real torment. He dared not move now, afraid that any movement would awaken the demon inside him. What would happen then, who knew?

Although Ophelia's words just now had shed light on many things, no matter the aspect, Bexia couldn't be so casual about this matter. After all, it concerned Ophelia's happiness. Even if he had thoughts in his mind, it was not the time for them yet.

"Gurgle!" Bexia swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was about to speak when Ophelia looked up at him.

"Bexia, today you can do anything you want to me~!" Ophelia's tone was full of teasing, as she hooked her finger under Bexia's chin and their lips met once again. Bexia couldn't take it anymore and immediately pounced on Ophelia...
