I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 599

Chapter 147: Just Like That (Lemon)

In the underground wine cellar.

“Everyone! We finally made it!”

The moment Grant spoke, several ruthless necromancers nearly shed tears, close to dropping pearls on the spot.

Necromancers don’t cry, unless they can’t help it.

They had suffered so much humiliation on this journey. Sometimes being troubled by unreasonable commoners, sometimes battling fierce magical beasts in the snowfields, and facing strict vigilance from the imperial army, they had to keep their tails tucked between their legs, too scared to retort even when insulted by street thugs.

But it was all worth it.

Without disturbing any imperial troops, they had finally succeeded in reaching Quiet Wind City!

“We arrived just in time!”

“It’s rumored that recently, there have been strange extraordinary fluctuations within Quiet Wind City. Perhaps it’s demons’ assassins, or maybe conflicts among the higher-ups, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that amidst the public’s fear, this is our chance to act!”

The bald mage finally shed the shameful disguise, revealing a sharp and cold gaze as he gritted his teeth recalling the past.

“That year’s great battle, the Holy Light Church was despicable and shameless, oppressing us. I still remember seeing the church leader wounded, slumped in despair, that scene is engraved in my memory.”

“In that moment, I thought, if I could become a powerful priest, I would absolutely win everything. Now, the blood of the False King is right before us, I must consider whether this could be our only opportunity in this life.”

“Now, the time has come!”

Grant raised his arm, his pale eyes scanning each of the followers of the Grim Reaper, shouting loudly.

“To restore the glory of the Grim Reaper, it is our duty!”

The motivated crowd rallied around him, raising their arms in unison, “To restore the glory of the Grim Reaper, it is our duty!”

This was not an unfounded blind faith.

Back then, Grant had relied on unmatched courage, facing a pureblood dragon and turning it into a puppet, earning the title of 【Undead Dragon】. Even when he first entered the Western Continent, he boldly sacrificed thousands of civilians right under the noses of various countries, gaining power and quickly establishing himself.

Looking back, seizing the blood of the False King would be a feat worthy of being the focus of the sect.

Now, if they could obtain the complete blood of the False King without the assistance of other sects, it would allow them to reclaim everything they’ve lost until now.

With the limitless courage of the 【Undead Dragon】, High Priest Grant would lead them to achieve this great feat!

For this, the 【Necromancy Sect】 had staked everything in the Western Continent!

Success or failure would be determined tomorrow.

Grant clenched his fist, unable to restrain the surging killing intent: “False King’s blood, we are coming!”

——————————

Cultist.

This term, at present, meant little to Roy.

He was more concerned about what scheming that tigress in front of him might be up to.

After a brief peaceful life, those girls were at it again.

Unlike before, when that golden-haired maid attended to their meals, today’s breakfast had only Charlotte as company, putting pressure on Roy.

That night, the blazing fist that nearly smashed through the castle walls had left a profound impression on Roy.

He estimated that purely relying on brute force, he might not even measure up to a necromancer general.

It was ridiculous.

After all, Charlotte was only Sequence 6, and even if the 【Inferno Lion King】 was known for its explosive power, that strength was far too outrageous!

Knowing he had been drifting among multiple boats, he realized that the other party was his girlfriend, aware that his girlfriend could punch through walls.

So, what should he do?

Roy truly didn’t know what to do, only praying for himself in anxiety.

A table full of breakfast turned out to be utterly unappetizing.

Meanwhile, Charlotte herself gracefully twirled her knife and fork, eating with elegance like a painting. If it weren’t for the deep impression of that punch, it would actually be a heartwarming scene.

After the meal, Charlotte first sipped her red tea, then dabbed at her slightly rosy lips with a handkerchief, before lifting her head and saying, “By the way, the weather is nice today. How about we go for a walk in the countryside?”

“Just the two of us?” Roy asked hesitantly.

Charlotte smiled subtly and nodded, “Just the two of us, no one else.”

Roy’s muscles tensed.

Oh my!

Is this girl planning to drag me out to dispose of me in the wilderness?!

“Um, can I opt out?”

Like a fragile glass sculpture, Charlotte’s fingertips quivered, tipping over her teacup on the table, the once-perfect elegance now flawed.

Seeing the resistance hidden in the boy’s eyes, Charlotte leaned back, nearly gasping for breath.

She had been rejected.

Roy actually rejected her!

He hadn’t even turned her down when they were out on a blind date, at their most detached!

The weight of a loved one’s rejection had such substantial impact.

A sense of grievance surged, causing a faint blush at the corners of her eyes, making that delicate and proud visage seem pitiful.

“Don’t, don’t get me wrong.” Forcing a smile, she said in a somewhat husky voice, “I just thought you’ve been resting for so long, it’s about time you get some fresh air outside.”

“I, I don’t mean anything else, okay?”

Even though Charlotte looked pitiable, to Roy, it was a different sight entirely.

After all, with his current memories, he had no concept of “tsundere.”

With red pupils, head tilted back, voice low, her expression also rather unnatural. Not to mention that obviously forced excuse.

It was like a fierce lion, teeth clenched, ready to pounce on anyone at any moment!

You definitely have ulterior motives! And it’s definitely about me!

However, considering that refusing now would lead to being blasted by the fiery fist, to buy time, Roy had no choice but to agree.

“You make a good point.”

“Great! Then let’s go right now!”

In just a second, Charlotte turned from worry to delight, her face glowing with happiness.

Her radiant smile bloomed like flowers in spring, beautiful and brilliant, momentarily leaving Roy dazed.

The two mounted their respective griffins, heading toward the snowy woods outside Quiet Wind City.

For some reason, the crimson griffin kept trying to move closer. Roy, wary of Charlotte, naturally didn’t want to get too close, but no matter how hard he pulled, his drooping Golden-Winged Griffin wouldn’t listen and insisted on approaching. Despite this, he ended up walking almost shoulder to shoulder with Charlotte all the way.

Meanwhile, Shue Nuo, Leanna, and Alice, draped in white cloaks, were stealthily following behind, observing the two with binoculars, ensuring Charlotte adhered to the dating rules.

“By the way, isn’t it a bit cold wearing so little?” Seeing Roy only in a thin vest without a coat, Charlotte couldn’t help but frown.

Glancing elsewhere, Charlotte toyed with her hair ends, pretending to be unconcerned, “I really don’t know what to do with you, come a little closer, I’m quite warm.”

“Didn’t I explain earlier? I have the ability of 【Cold Resistance】, this little bit is nothing.” Roy waved his hand, still a bit hesitant to get close.

With the excuse failing, Charlotte was secretly stomping her feet in frustration.

Watching all this, Leanna couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Just by looking at their expressions, she could guess what they were saying, it was simply unbearable to suppress her laughter: “Hilarious. The little junior is just like a little junior, taking so long to hold hands. If it were me, I would have…?!”

Halfway through her sentence, her mouth twitched.

Because Charlotte suddenly hooked her arm around Roy’s, burrowing right into his embrace!

With a “crack,” the binoculars in her hand shattered, and Leanna’s face darkened, forcing a look of disdain: “Heh, just like that.”
