Ark Chess Player

The kingslayer buried her head in her knees. She knew she wasn't cut out to be a leader, but she had done everything she could to care for the soldiers under her command. She taught them how to survive, how to take down enemies with ranged weapons within seven paces, which grasses and tree bark were edible, and which were not.

She did not regret betraying Talulah and coming to Rhodes Island.

From beginning to end, Lin Lu was her top priority in all her thoughts.

Regardless of her identity, Lawyer Lin is Lawyer; that's how she sees it.

"Wait—this taste."

The regicide suddenly tilted his head back and twitched his little nose.

Her eyes lit up, and almost as if she were about to unleash her exceptional agility, she swiftly leaped from the hospital bed and pounced toward the door.

"Dong dong."

A soft knock sounded, followed by the hatch opening automatically.

Lin Lu's vision blurred, and an orange-red figure appeared in front of him. He subconsciously opened his arms and hugged the girl who rushed towards him.

A soft, nudging sensation enveloped him; the girl's weight was almost unreal. Lin Lu instinctively hugged her tighter, as if afraid that even that little bit of weight would disappear.

"Ritsu~! You've come to see me!"

The kingslayer's tail swayed merrily, its previous sense of loss vanishing.

"Yes, I want to see you."

Lin Lu embraced the girl as if she were a child, stepped into the room, and the hatch behind him closed automatically.

The Kingslayer, caught off guard by the sudden direct hit to the face, gave a silly laugh and excitedly buried her cheek in Lin Lu's chest.

"...Sniff."

The girl's smile vanished abruptly.

The regicide nestled close to Lin Lu's chest, taking a deep breath. Her crimson eyes flashed with a cold light as she smelled the scent of a vixen.

"Lv, why do you smell so much like a woman?" she said coldly.

—Danger!

The regicide frowned, then suddenly looked up and glared at Lin Lu.

She placed her hands on Lin Lu's shoulders and wrapped her legs around his waist, holding him tightly to prevent him from escaping.

"Is this the legendary 'Seven-Day Lock of Love Stronger Than Gold'? I never thought you'd know this trick too." Lin Lu exclaimed without any sense of propriety, supporting the girl's thighs with both hands to lighten the burden hanging around his neck, unaware that a huge danger was about to befall him.

The Kingslayer coldly said, "Don't change the subject. Answer me now! Who are those women? Why do I smell the sea, the unripe fruit, a sticky, pungent odor, and... Kal'tsit's scent! Why is Kal'tsit's scent here?! Tell me!"

The king-killer suddenly bristled, causing its fluffy tail to stand up.

Lin Lu answered truthfully: "Because Kal'tsit beat me up not long ago, and it seems like it was more than once."

After he finished speaking, Lin Lu, who had been in a daze, suddenly woke up.

He quickly turned around and took several steps back, his eyes fixed on the doorway as if facing a formidable enemy.

Lin Lu finally understood what Kal'tsit's passive skill was!

Her "Catching Adultery" skill is at its best! Whenever Lin Lu encounters an event that increases his favorability towards her, this woman always manages to arrive at the scene immediately!

The regicide was now wrapped around him like an octopus; if they weren't both dressed, it would look like some kind of erotic scene.

However, the material of the Kingslayer's clothes was the same as his daytime attire—just a thin, light blue hospital gown. Furthermore, she wasn't wearing anything underneath, and now, nestled tightly in Lin Lu's arms, her ample bosom, surpassing even that of the Ghost Shark, made Lin Lu feel suffocated. Is this the spirit of embracing all rivers? I'm in love!

"Ahem, the regicide..."

"Call me Mira."

"Okay, Mira."

"Only you can call this name; no one else can," the Kingslayer whispered in Lin Lu's ear.

Lin Lu couldn't help but smile indulgently: "Mira, can you get off me? As a normal man, I've been pushed beyond my limits today, and my rationality is almost completely worn down. If you don't get off, you won't need your hands to maintain your balance any longer."

"No, it's because you smell like someone else!" the Kingslayer said defiantly, hugging her even tighter.

She wanted to use her own scent to cover up the scents of others, asserting her dominance over Lin Lu.

Just like a wolf that has only one mate for its entire life, it cannot tolerate its favorite mate being tainted by the scent of other wolves.

Lin Lu smiled helplessly, turned over and sat on the hospital bed, still being held tightly by the girl.

He was just joking.

Given his current mood, even if his body is telling the truth, he still can't muster any enthusiasm.

"Well……"

Sensing Lin Lu's dejected mood, the King Killer sat down on his lap and cupped his face in her hands.

"Law, you look terrible. Did you have a nightmare?" the King Killer asked worriedly.

Lin Lu shook his head, wearily hugging the King Killer's back and resting his head on the girl's shoulder.

“Have you ever had this feeling…” Lin Lu sighed, “not knowing whether you’re awake or dreaming.”

The Kingslayer blinked, then suddenly smiled, as if she had remembered something very interesting.

Lin Lu's shoulders sank as he was heavily pushed onto the bed by the regicide.

He was stunned.

By whom? Who pushed him down?

Even a regicide can one day overthrow someone!

Even this light and agile girl has a day when she can take the riding position!

This is simply a medical miracle!

Lin Lu, whose mind was full of strange ideas, had his black vest unbuttoned at some point, along with the top two buttons of his white shirt.

The regicide lowered his head, brushed the strands of hair that had fallen beside his ear with his fingers, and tucked them behind his ear.

She bit Lin Lu's neck, her cherry lips pursed, gently sucking as if she were licking candy.

The sensation of the girl's tongue sent a tingling, electric shock through Lin Lu's mind, bringing him back to his senses.

Do you still feel like you're dreaming?

The regicide raised his head, licked his lips, and smiled innocently.

Three days ago, when the two reunited in Chernobog, Lin Lu asked her the same question.

Chapter 87 Do What You Want to Do

"What? So you're troubled by something like this?"

The regicide lay beside Lin Lu, and the two of them lay together on the hospital bed, gazing up at the moon outside the cabin window.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight, and a beautiful woman nestled beside him, yet Lin Lu's heart remained unmoved. He raised his hand, shielding his eyes from the moonlight.

The regicide turned to the side, staring at Lin Lu's face. Due to his center of gravity, a large expanse of snow-white skin on his chest peeked out from under his light blue hospital gown.

“Let me think about it. On one hand, there’s a distress signal that’s obviously malicious, like a trap specifically designed to lure you away from Rhodes Island. On the other hand, there’s a comfortable life, and Kal’tsit… even specifically told you that there’s something very important to do together tomorrow. That’s why you’re confused right now.”

The regicide counted on her fingers; she only knew these two things.

Lin Lu didn't tell her that he had begun to doubt his past.

"Isn't the solution to this problem very simple? Why are you worrying about it for so long?"

The regicide got up and sat down beside him, and Lin Lu, who remained lying down, seemed to be watching a new moon rise.

“Since you care so much, why don’t you go to Chernobog and take a look? As long as you come back before you reach Lungmen tomorrow, it’ll be fine, right?” the Kingslayer said earnestly.

Lin Lu was slightly taken aback, then gave a wry smile: "It's not as easy as you make it out to be..."

“Law, I’ve said it before, I’m stupid, I’m not good at thinking,” the King Killer said in a heavy tone. “If you have to think for this long when faced with an emergency, then you might as well give up in the first place. If you feel resentful afterward, then do your best and don’t let yourself regret it.”

"Even idiots have their way of living. I know you're hiding something from me, but it's okay."

"I'll go with you."

The kingslayer jumped off the bed, clutching his abdomen to assess the injury. Although it still hurt a lot, however…

How could I possibly leave you all alone?

Bathed in moonlight, the red-haired, red-eyed girl revealed an arrogant smile, her figure resembling that of a monarch.

Lin Lu stared blankly at her, finally unable to hold back his laughter, and raised his fist to tap his own blockhead. When exactly had he been influenced? How could he be held back by the past, hesitating and indecisive? Even Lyudmila, that seemingly foolish girl who could be tricked into bed thirty times by him without realizing it, was clearer than him.

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

While uttering words of complaint, Lin Lu smiled.

—The hero with an excessive sense of self has been resurrected.

Lin Lu rolled over and jumped off the bed, buttoning up his open shirt.

"You stay here and rest to recover. I'll be right back."

"No way! I'm getting rusty staying here, I want to go out and play!" The King Killer strongly objected and protested!

"Once you're healed, I'll take you to Lungmen. Do you know Lungmen? It's a giant, mobile city that you can see from here."

"I won't listen."

The regicide covered his ears, looking like he was being unreasonable.

Lin Lu couldn't help but smile indulgently as he hugged the regicide from behind.

His left hand gently rested on the girl's injured abdomen, and the Extraction technique activated, dissolving the lingering resentment magic within her. The Kingslayer felt a warmth in his abdomen, as if the pain had lessened, and a subtle heat rose within him.

"If you don't calm down and heal your injuries properly, this kind of cursed Originium Arts will make your child stupid in the future," Lin Lu whispered in her ear, his eyes full of anticipation, like a father looking forward to the birth of his child, his mind focused on the future.

"Oh……"

The king killer immediately became obedient.

This is probably the scene of a scumbag trying to seduce an innocent girl.

“Ryu, I have something very important to give you.”

Lin Lu was forced back onto the bedside by the regicide, and he said helplessly, "Can't we do it when I get back?"
