god of tomorrow

These are not Gawain and Hervey's original words, but a rough translation conveys the same meaning.

From tender glances to flirtatious exchanges, followed by saccharine displays of affection, the initial onslaught was unavoidable, with continuous critical hits until Lily couldn't take it anymore, threw down her tea, and stormed off in a huff.

It's pointless to always form cliques against her; I won't attend any more gatherings.

"What's wrong with Lily? I feel like the way she's looking at me is a bit...unpleasant." Gao Wen felt rather guilty.

"If my sister were kidnapped, I would do the same."

Seeing that the outsiders had tactfully left, Hervy stopped acting and sat on Gawain's lap. She had recently lost her appetite and could only eat three tables' worth of food before her boyfriend had to feed her to fill her stomach.

Coincidentally, Gao Wen has also been having a poor appetite lately and needs his girlfriend to feed him.

Before long, the meal lasted until 8 p.m., when Dawn and Becky, who had just finished get off work, arrived as a group and finally chased away the clingy boyfriend.

Dating is prohibited in public!

Hervy remembered Lily's warning: Gawain was a human, still growing, and it wasn't advisable to resort to violence. Repeated attacks were not advisable, and even managing to push him every few days was too much; the intensity couldn't be increased any further.

So, she won't be spending time with Gao Wen tonight.

"..."

Looking at Herwi's carefree figure, Gawain had to admit that Lily had protected her sister very well.

By the way, I wanted to complain a bit: if you don't keep me company, plenty of others will, like your sister!

Just as Gawain had predicted, darkness returned and descended precisely at midnight, and a wave of drowsiness lulled him into a deep sleep.

"Huh, why didn't I take a shower today?"

Lily lowered her head and sniffed Gao Wen. He smelled a lot of sweat. She wondered why Gao Wen, who was usually a very clean person, had changed his personality today.

After sorting it out, it seems he knew Hervy wasn't coming tonight and was too lazy to wash up.

Ugh, that filthy man!

Gao Wen: Is it possible that this is called persuading someone to quit?

Stop now, Ali. There are red-haired people everywhere outside. While there's still time, don't make any more mistakes.

Lily's sudden awakening last night served as a wake-up call for Gawain. He realized that his intimacy with Lily was too high; he could keep it a secret for a while, but not forever, and sooner or later, things would come to a head.

If it really comes to that, this family will definitely fall apart.

The idea of ​​having two women on either side, or having two sisters, is something he can only dream about. He might be happy to have such a thing, but Hervy's fists would definitely not allow it.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, my father-in-law wouldn't agree!

While Gawain was already contemplating the future, Lily wasn't thinking that far ahead. Her mission tonight was extremely challenging and wouldn't be forced to end just because Gawain hadn't showered.

A slight smell of sweat, just bear with it.

Lily skillfully mounted him, and because it was Gawain, her body didn't trigger the rejection reaction typical of severe mysophobia. She bit down on Gawain's neck, suppressing her craving and refraining from savoring the taste, while activating her memory-reading ability to see if Gawain was pretending to be asleep or truly asleep.

Although the memory retrieval capability is not as efficient and fast as the keyword search of an AI assistant, it does have a similar function, and Lily quickly saw the image she wanted.

When Gao Wen was first ambushed by her at night, everything went black and he fell into a deep sleep.

The screen abruptly stopped, remaining black.

It just so happened to break at this exact moment!

Lily frowned slightly. Every time she activated her memory reading ability, she could only see fragmented images in Gawain's memories.

This only happened to Gawain. Last time, when she read Schina's memories, she obtained all the information she wanted with just one act of drinking blood.

Perhaps it was because she only took a small breath and her ability was barely activated before her blood was depleted; or perhaps the scent of the sun in Gawain's blood was too strong, and her ability couldn't reach its maximum potential, resulting in only intermittent images.

But regardless of which one, to ascertain the truth, a second bite is necessary.

Just as Lily opened her mouth to take a bite, she suddenly realized that if she didn't get the truth she wanted after the second bite, and instead continued to act crazy because of her drunkenness, wouldn't she be wasting her time tonight?

Even if you're going to throw the pot away, you shouldn't do it like that!

Lily squinted her eyes. Whether Gawain was really asleep or pretending, she could find out by pretending to be drunk. There was no need to stubbornly keep reading his memories.

As expected of me, I found the key right away.

Lily took a bite, pretending to suck blood, and hummed and groaned as if she was enjoying it, panting heavily as she lay on top of Gawain.

I was slightly tipsy, a little intoxicated, but far from being completely unconscious like before.

Lily waited a moment, and seeing that Gawain was as unresponsive as a dead man, she hesitated for three or five seconds, muttered that she was looking for water, and then tilted her head to the water source and kissed him.

This was the first time Lily had ever tried to find water while fully conscious and able to control her body. At first, she was filled with shame and indignation, and her skills were so rudimentary that they lacked any real technique. But soon her body started moving on its own, and she became so skilled that she felt sorry for herself.

Why am I so skilled at this?

Lily roared inwardly, and also angrily berated Gawain, demanding that the dead man give some reaction, whether he was asleep or just playing dead, even a squeak would be good.

A moment later, Gao Wen opened his eyes, tilted his head to the side, and took out a sports drink from his system backpack.

"I just can't do anything with you. I've already told you this is wrong, why do you do it again..."

Gao Wen sighed deeply, processed the sports drink into a high-end imported product, and then shoved it into Lily's mouth.

"..."

Oh, did we play this dirty before?

The moment Gawain opened his eyes, Lily was stunned. Her face flushed red, and she couldn't bear to face the truth. She closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly.

It was similar to his previous drunken state, except his face was even redder.

When the imported goods were practically handed to her, Lily thought she couldn't keep up the act anymore. With her severe mysophobia, how could she possibly...?

Tsk tsk tsk —

Lily felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, but her body showed no resistance to Gawain and even began to move on its own.

After feeding Lily a bottle of sports drink, Gao Wen hugged her tightly: "You're much better behaved today, unlike before, when you almost suffocated me several times..."

Stop talking, please, Lily is already dead.

Lily's heart continued to groan with grief. She dared not open her eyes, much less 'wake up'. To prevent a humiliating tragedy, she clung to Gawain like an octopus.

what time is it now?

What? Only five minutes have passed?

Damn, how can the night be so long!

“Since we’re already here, let’s continue with my questions and answers. What is the connection between the twelve ram’s head scepters and Hell?” Gawain reached out and pulled Lily into his arms.

Lily, who was leaning on Gawain's shoulder, felt uncomfortable all over her body, especially her buttocks. Upon hearing this, she suddenly opened her eyes.

This dead man really knew about the ram's head scepter!

Wait a minute, this dead man may know about the ram's head scepter, but he doesn't know that I know he doesn't know I'm conscious...

Skilled hunters often appear as prey; it's uncertain who will get the intelligence tonight!

"Take your time to think it over, there's no rush..."

With one hand supporting her buttocks and the other gently stroking Lily's back, Gawain whispered softly in her ear, not daring to add any more hypnosis in case she woke up like she had the night before.

Put your claws...

Hmph, go ahead and touch me. I'm definitely going to tell Hervy about this. You just wait!

Lily stared with dead fish eyes, her chin resting on Gawain's shoulder, and in a dazed tone, said haltingly, "The ram's head... the scepter... I can't quite remember... Why are you asking about this?"

"I have one. Tell me how to use it, or how to destroy the seal."

"..."

You really do have it!

Chapter 215 Lily: I'm so wronged, it's so hard!

The dead man has a scepter in his hand!

Lily's eyes lit up. Her first attempt yielded great results, which greatly encouraged her. After failing five times in a row, she finally found the right way to do it on the sixth try.

The journey was fraught with peril and hardship. Although Lily still felt cheated after tasting the sweetness of success, she thought on the bright side that this time it wasn't all for nothing and the effort was worthwhile.

I can only think of the positive side; in this position, I can't bear the shame.

Gawain didn't urge her. The Ram's Head Scepter was of great importance, and Lily was particularly concerned about it. He had tried it last night. Even though Lily was currently in a daze, as soon as he made the slightest move and urged her to reveal the core secrets, the greedy cat in his arms would immediately bristle and then come to her senses.

Take your time, the night is still long, he can wait.

Gawain gently stroked Lily's back with one hand and supported her buttocks with the other, creating a comfortable space for her to think and minimizing her subconscious defensiveness.

Lily was uneasy.

Her chin rested on Gao Wen's neck in an intimate pose, and the smell of sweat on Gao Wen's body made her head buzz, and the alcohol made her feel quite hot.

Lily bit her lower lip hard, forcibly pulling her scattered thoughts back. She pretended to think hard, and when she felt the time was right, she began to speak intermittently.

The twelve scepters possess the ability to open a portal to the hell dimension. However, because they are replicas, they are extremely flawed. Not only are the locations where the portals open random and unpredictable, but even the timing of their opening cannot be guaranteed.

"Does 'counterfeit' mean exactly what it says? Where can I find the genuine product?"

Gawain raised an eyebrow, took out a sports drink, processed it, tilted his head and fed it to Lily. After a brief exchange of smacking sounds, he asked, "Is the original in your father-in-law's hands? He made twelve replicas of the ram's head scepters and gave them to Richieard?"

Who are you calling your father-in-law? Do you think he's your father-in-law? Don't talk nonsense like that!

Lily was furious, inwardly cursing Gawain for taking advantage of her. After cursing for a while, she realized that from Herwi's perspective, it was perfectly normal for Gawain to call her father "father-in-law".

That's all!

Damn it, drinking makes me do things wrong. It's all the alcohol's fault; my brain is all muddled now.

Lily suppressed her dissatisfaction and realized something was wrong. Gawain actually knew the name Richioud. Who told Gawain that?

Hervey, or her?

I hope it was my sister who said it, and please don't let it be her.

After all, she came to read memories and collect intelligence. She rushed in full of confidence, but she didn't get any information. Instead, she slept with him and even gave him information. How is she any different from the sister of the silly couple?
