Chapter 206 The Real Hunter (6K)
"So, it's her?"

Freme tilted her head, looking at the scene in front of her with some uncertainty.

Inside the prison, a tall red-haired woman hugged her long legs, curled herself up into a ball, and lay there lazily... well, slumped there.

She had no reaction at all to Freme and the others approaching, and did not show any vigilance of a strong person.

Is it her?
This is what I assumed was...a love rival?
I always feel like something is not right.

"Well, although she may look a little different than you imagined...but there is no doubt that she is Valentina."

Herbert looked at Miss Hungry Dragon who was sleeping soundly and didn't know what to say for a moment.

How can I explain to you that she is not usually like this?
She actually looks smarter on a daily basis... Well, it seems not that much different.

After thinking for a long time without finding an excuse, Herbert could only shake his head and sigh:

"Yes, that's her."

"she……"

Freme kept blinking and looked at the... cute creature in front of her with some uncertainty.

what is this?
How come this is completely different from what I thought!

Although she could feel the terrifying dragon power from the other party, but looking at his silly look... Freme didn't feel threatened at all.

If you ignore the dragon's might, it looks just like a small animal that is sleeping peacefully without any guard.

Freme had seen similar creatures while wandering in the ocean.

The Heterodon was a low-level monster that would float defenselessly on the water when asleep, holding hands with other companions and drifting with the ocean current.

Every time she encountered them, Freyme would poke their cheeks with great interest, waking them up one by one, and then watch them flee in fear.

It’s not that she has a bad personality, but their panicked look when they keep dropping the shells hidden in their mouths to save their lives while escaping is really cute!

Of course, she actually thinks the two are different.

The heterodont sea otter has this special nature because of its amazing reproductive capacity and it does not care how many die, because there will be more offspring in the next litter anyway.

As for the guy in front of him, he had absolutely no natural enemies.

Because he has no worries about being attacked in his dreams, he can sleep so soundly and carefreely.

But the problem is that Valentina doesn’t look like a dragon at this moment, but a human... She doesn’t look intimidating at all.

Freme really couldn't connect the person in front of her with the image she had originally imagined in her mind.

The product is not what I pictured.

The two had been neighbors for a long time, and Freme had some impression of the inmate in the next cell.

During the initial period, Freme could hear Valentina's angry roars from time to time, vaguely heard some vulgar curses, and had some understanding of her temper.

Therefore, Freme naturally associated the image of Valentina with "violence".

really?
"Ahem, I know you might have some doubts."

Herbert probably guessed what Freme was thinking about and coughed twice:
"But don't look at Valentina's current state. She is still very strong."

To be honest, Valentina is really not bad!
If you want strength, they have strength; if you want intelligence, they have strength. No matter what you want, our children are all capable.

"Also, she is not too low on her guard, but her current state is rather special."

Herbert did explain Valentina to some extent, so as not to let her image in Freme's heart completely collapse.

"She is currently receiving the inheritance of the dragon's bloodline and has no perception of the outside world. She may not wake up until some time later."

Herbert walked over and picked up Valentina from the ground...well, lifted her up.

Because Valentina was holding him too tightly and there was no way she could change her position, Herbert could only pick her up from the ground.

Herbert held the dragon ball and carefully placed her on the large bed that he had moved in earlier for her to rest, and considerately covered her with a quilt.

Although Valentina didn't need warmth, the lingering smell on the quilt made her feel more at ease.

Herbert did all this openly in front of Miss Mermaid, without any intention of hiding anything.

After the initial awkwardness, Herbert's attitude had returned to normal.

What are you panicking about?
Things have already happened, there is no need to panic!

If you want to be a sentimental person with a broken heart, there will be such a day sooner or later, and he has already prepared for it.

Besides, it’s impossible to hide it, so it’s better to do it openly.

A real man does things by his own name, and he does the things he does by his own name!

What's there to be afraid of?

Besides, it wasn't me who started it first. It was Valentina who pushed me.

Yes, I am the victim!
"Flemme, let's go...eh?"

When he turned around, Herbert originally planned to take Freme away directly, but he found that she had followed him.

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she stared at Valentina with excitement, stretching out her finger eagerly, as if she was going to poke Miss Hungry Dragon's cheek.

?

You don’t want to…

"Herbert, can I poke her in the face?"

Freme lowered her voice and whispered in Herbert's ear: "Just for a moment!"

The urge to poke sea otters came back.

???

Herbert was greatly shocked by this.

Ah Zhen, are you serious?

Let’s not discuss philosophical questions like “Can you touch a tiger’s butt?” and “Can you poke a dragon’s cheek?”…

Let's just talk about your attitude, right?
Is your attitude correct?

If I'm not mistaken... aren't you two rivals in love?

Where is the Shura Field?
Shouldn't you treat her as if you were seeing an enemy who had stolen someone's wife and daughter?

Why do you only want to poke people in the cheek?!
To be fair, Herbert was actually very happy that Freme could show such an attitude.

He least wanted to see these two people hate each other forever. The best situation was to be able to live in harmony...

But isn’t your progress a bit too fast?

"I advise you not to... Oh, never mind, just poke me if you want to."

Herbert wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he waved his hand and said weakly: "Prepare more food for Valentina when the time comes. She shouldn't mind."

For Valentina, anything that can be solved with food is not a big deal.

And if he couldn't even get food, Herbert had other ways to deal with it... The worst that could happen was that he would just have to cripple his waist.

Faith will move mountains to open.

If all else fails, it's not the method's fault, it's your fault.

It must be that your heart is not sincere enough.

"Haha, then I'll take action!"

After getting permission, Freme's expression lit up with joy, and she carefully stretched out her finger towards Miss Hungry Dragon's fair cheek.

stamp.

Perhaps because Freme's fingertips were a little cool, Valentina trembled slightly after being poked.

"Uh! Um..."

She shook herself, then hugged herself tighter, and unconsciously turned her head, trying to avoid the annoying cold fingers.

Poke again.

Hide again.

Again……

"Okay, it's almost done. Don't really wake her up."

Herbert grabbed Freme's fingers and flicked her forehead. She said helplessly, "It would be no fun if she caught us red-handed."

It's going to be bad for both of us!

Although Freme felt sorry, she still rationally withdrew her hand and said with a guilty conscience:
"Oh, Herbert, don't misunderstand me. I just think she's cute like this, but I don't intend to say that I'll give up on her completely."

One yard owned by a yard!
Cheek-poking and cheek-poking, the affairs between rivals still need to be settled carefully.

We still have to fight for it.

Herbert looked at her, raised one eyebrow, and said strangely: "Then you'd better not think about poking her in the future. I won't help you mediate with her."

"Hey! Don't do that kind of thing—"

After hearing this, Freme changed her mind instantly, pouted her lips and looked at Herbert eagerly.

Bad.

I can't laugh anymore.

If I can't poke my cheek again, then I will...

Herbert curled his lips and ignored her charming appearance.

Sure enough, beautiful females are good at deceiving people... Even Valentina managed to successfully deceive Herbert several times.

The acting is good, but still not as good as mine.

I can tell at a glance that you are not human!
"Okay, now that we've seen the people, it's time for us to set off."

He laughed, grabbed Freme's hand and walked towards the outside, but he couldn't move her.

Eh?
Herbert turned around in confusion, then froze when he saw Freyme's expression.

That was... a charming expression full of temptation.

Wait, is that right?

?

Herbert let go of her hand, took a half step back, and asked vigilantly: "Fleming...what do you want to do?"

And Freme let him retreat, then looked down at Valentina who was sleeping peacefully, and asked meaningfully:

"You just said that she won't wake up now and knows nothing about the outside world, right?"

!

Herbert took another step back, feeling a great sense of crisis.

"Flemme, what are you going to do?"

"Guess what I'm going to do? Do you really want me to say it?"

Miss Mermaid chuckled, slowly approached Herbert, and gently grasped his shoulders - no, she held them tightly.

A transparent water curtain appeared, just enough to cover the two people's figures, like frosted glass blocking the victim dragon.

?

"Wait, Valentina is still here, let's go to another place..."

"Herbert, what are you afraid of? She won't know it anyway, will she?"

She looked at Herbert seductively, licked her lips gently, and whispered, "Or, she can do it, but I can't?"

Herbert was silent for a moment when he heard this fatal question. He knew that he couldn't answer it easily. No matter what he said, it would be easy to fail.

"..."

He did not try to struggle physically, but instead made a final stand verbally.

"I advise you not to do anything rash!" "Also, do you want to consider the occasion? There are already people waiting outside, and we don't have that much time to waste."

It was necessary to tell the other monks in the monastery that Herbert was leaving the ordination house with the prisoners.

Just like the last time Valentina was released from the cage, this time there will also be monks who will witness the scene with their own eyes.

However, they were not qualified to enter the Third Discipline House and could only wait quietly at the door.

It's okay to be a little late, but if we really start doing it, there will be no time limit.

"What were you talking about? How long?"

Freme blinked and tilted her head in confusion.

Who says it has to take a long time?

Herbert:?

"ah!!?"

Bold mermaid, how dare you question my ability! ! ?
It is tolerable and unbearable.

Just wait, I will find a chance to let you know how powerful I am!

And Freme became even more confused when she saw Herbert's furious expression.

What happened?

"What are you talking about? How long will it take to kiss me? If you don't hide, we'll both already... Wait!"

!!!

The mermaid below suddenly realized something and her face instantly turned red.

"You, you, you, what were you thinking just now! I didn't mean that, I really didn't mean that..."

! ! ?

Freme hurriedly let go of her hand, covered her face and tried to escape from Herbert, but was pulled back.

"what!"

Unexpectedly, Herbert pulled the panicked mermaid into his arms.

At this moment, the boy who had been reluctant just now changed his expression and smiled, "Where do you want to go?"

“I… huh!!?”

Freme wanted to explain, but her lips were blocked.

Herbert took advantage of her moment of shock to grab her slender waist and hold her tightly to his chest.

The weak little lamb who was forced into a helpless situation just now suddenly revealed its true face in front of the ferocious big bad wolf - in the blink of an eye it turned into an even more brutal beast!

Want to run?

no way!

Yes, the true hunter often appears as the prey.

Sister who thinks she is a hunter, you are the challenger!
At this point, you still want to run away?
How can it be that easy?

The offense and defense are alien!
This time, they didn't separate as quickly as before.

Herbert kissed Fleme gently, controlling his muscles and using all his skill to explore gently.

"Well!"

He gradually felt her originally tense body slowly relax, and she fell limply into his arms like a useless fish, and then they finally separated.

"call……"

Freme's eyes were filled with confusion. She felt as if her entire soul had been hollowed out and she felt dizzy.

What's going on?

Why does it feel completely different from before?
Even this has come to this, then...

Herbert looked at her dazed look, licked his lips, and smiled, "Is this guest satisfied?"

"Don't be nervous. Since you asked me to do this just now, I must satisfy you."

Oh……

ah! ! ?
Fremei blinked, and suddenly realized that the current situation was very dangerous. She forced herself to say, "You, don't mess around. Let's at least change places..."

Do you really want to be here?
Herbert shook his head and chuckled, then patted her head gently, signaling her to be at ease: "Don't worry, I won't be so careless."

He didn't intend to get straight to the point right now; the time and place were too inappropriate.

He was not a sex-hungry man and would not want to leave behind such frivolous memories.

At the same time, Herbert is not a person who will suffer any loss.

"But you will also have to pay the price for what you said and did just now... pay the price in person."

"You have to solve the mistakes you made yourself."

He raised his hand, gently touched the top of the blushing mermaid's head, and whispered, "Come on, do as I say."

"If you try hard enough, it will be over soon."

probably.

"..."

The mermaid hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse. She nodded slowly under Herbert's aggressive, expectant gaze.

"Um……"

Perhaps, she has been expecting something.

Not long after, bursts of pleasant wind chimes began to sound behind the water curtain.

Ring ring ring~
……

And when those two people played music with wind chimes...

Valentina was sleeping nearby.

Although there was only a thin curtain of water between them, their shadows were still projected on it, so as long as they opened their eyes they could see what was happening over there.

But Valentina was sleeping.

Poor Miss Hungry Dragon, what happened around her...

One! Nothing! Know!

She even slept more soundly to the rhythmic sound of the wind chimes!

"call……"

Thanks to Freme's efforts and Herbert's careful guidance, the two of them successfully left the Third Discipline House after spending a little longer than expected.

Freme did not change into a nun's uniform like Valentina, but instead wore a gorgeous long dress as if she was going to a ball.

Unlike the big noise Valentina had deliberately made before, her outing this time seemed particularly quiet.

She followed Herbert lightly and without a word.

Facing various looks from other monks, she reacted very calmly.

The whole person exudes a kind of well-behaved and non-confrontational attitude.

Bishop Rusty Nail did not appear among the crowd that witnessed Freme walk out of the prison. He had already tacitly accepted that Herbert would take the monster girl away.

Although he did not approve of this matter, he had no intention of stopping it and could only turn a blind eye to it.

Although Bishop Thorn showed up, he did not make much comment. He just nodded at Herbert and patted him on the shoulder.

Rather than letting Herbert grow up safely with their help, he actually prefers to let Herbert grow up independently after experiencing everything on his own.

A strong person cannot grow up under pampering.

Overprotection will only ruin a genius and prevent him from truly reaching his limits.

Compared to dying prematurely in battle, that would be the real persecution for them.

Bishop Thorn didn't say much, just said this in a deep voice when Herbert was about to leave.

"Herbert, if you are in danger, I will avenge you, no matter who the enemy is."

Although it may sound unlucky to say this at parting, it can express Bishop Thorn's determination.

Moreover, after saying this, he turned his head towards Freme intentionally or unintentionally.

The warning is self-evident.

But Freme just glanced at Bishop Thorn calmly without making any response, and was too lazy to pay any attention.

She is in a state of silence now and will not speak easily.

Even if she could speak, she would not pay attention to the judge's threats.

Let alone now.

Don't bother me, you bald guy!
My mouth is sore and I don't want to talk.

Herbert also understood the judge's painstaking efforts, thanked him sincerely, and sensibly made many promises.

Like what... I will never go deep into the depths! I will not take the initiative to provoke monsters! I will not be stubborn and not ask for help when I encounter danger!

Who cares whether these agreements will be observed or not?
Who can control me after I enter the Misty Mountains?
This trip is like a fish entering the sea and a bird flying into the sky, no longer bound by cages!
After finally getting rid of the judge who was like an old father to him, Herbert finally took Freme to the Misty Mountains.

"Ha, I finally succeeded!"

After more than two hours away from the Misty Monastery, Herbert finally relaxed after making sure that no one was following him.

He took off his bag and water bag and placed them in the shadow.

In the opinion of the monks, Herbert would not stay in the Misty Mountains for long this time.

Because I didn't bring much food and water, I just carried a light bag.

Actually it is not.

Herbert had in fact hidden in the shadows enough bread to last him a month.

Of course, this is not the loading limit of the Shadow, but the limit of the black bread that can be lost in the kitchen.

This amount of bread is not a big deal, but if there were more, it would probably attract the attention of the cooking nuns.

He also didn't want the monastery to spread another legend of the bread thief besides Brother Caoyu.

After being away from people, Freme's cold expression relaxed a lot. She looked around with curiosity and found everything very new.

She had been wandering in the ocean, and this was her first time walking on land. Everything she saw seemed very unfamiliar, and she asked Herbert many questions along the way.

He controlled his alchemical legs to wander around, and his number of steps was at least twice that of Herbert.

At this moment, she finally calmed down and looked solemnly at the increasingly thick fog in front of her.

"Flemme, do you feel anything?"

"Um……"

Miss Mermaid pondered for a moment, raised her hand and pushed away the mist in front of her, trying to control the "water mist", but failed.

"The mist here...is not water."

Although she had been staying in the Third Discipline House for a long time, it was actually Freme's first time to come to the Misty Mountains. She looked at the mist around her with some curiosity.

She shook her head and said with some annoyance: "My strength may decline a little here."

She originally thought that she could easily protect Herbert, but she did not expect to be given a warning by the Misty Mountains right from the start.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter even if we are suppressed, we are still close to the sea."

Herbert smiled and consoled her, then said leisurely, "Besides, the water elements are very active where we are going. They will definitely welcome you."

"As for whether it welcomes us or not, that's hard to say... hehe."
