Ch 55: Daily Life After The Speedrun

After speedrunning the underground challenge, Phia teleported the three of them home. If that Dragon found out she was a speedrunning skip-level player, that Greatsword might be taken back.

After returning home, the three huddled together to discuss how to deceive the Guild. After all, this Commission was neither a success nor a failure for them; it was stuck.

“Maybe we should bury that hole.”

Nia offered the suggestion first.

“If you bury the hole, what about the Dragon? If one day it wants to go out for a stroll, and the corridor of its home collapses, we might face revenge.”

Bal thought the suggestion was good, just don’t suggest it again next time.

“Or should we take the Dragon out and let it sleep somewhere else?”

Phia offered her own idea.

“Is there a possibility, I mean, a possibility. That Dragon looks a bit big, unless we use Teleportation Magic to send it away, otherwise it will be noticeable no matter what, and where can we find such a big hole for it, dig one now?”

Bal rejected this idea.

Phia was inspired by Bal’s words.

“Right, the hole, do you remember the day we met, a big hole appeared somewhere?”

“Yes! Your home is now a hole, I don’t know if it’s been filled.”

“I’ll go and see.”

Phia acted immediately. She instantly used Teleportation Magic to go to the edge of the Demon King’s Castle. She looked at the place where she had cast the Extermination Magic; the Deep Pit was still there, and there was no one around. So she immediately teleported back and reported the news to Bal.

“Good news, the hole is still there, and it seems that neither the Demon Race nor Humans intend to approach it.”

“And the bad news?”

“I’m a little low on Magic now, I won’t be able to send the Dragon back until tomorrow.”

Bal held Phia in his arms, stroking her head and praising her.

“I didn’t expect that hole to be a plot point, my Wife is amazing!”

Phia lay in Bal’s arms, letting him stroke her head. At this time, Grey came down from upstairs.

“You’re back.”

“What, you thought we wouldn’t come back?”

Bal looked at this freeloader in his home with a look of disgust.

“Did you get any Treasure? I feel like with your abilities you should have gotten something good.”

Hearing Grey’s words, Bal used his eyes to signal Nia. Nia understood, she put the Greatsword on Grey’s neck.

“Young Man Grey is really smart~ This sword is the Treasure, oh~”

Grey was held at swordpoint, his back was soaked through. Why did this family always like to hold weapons to others?

Seeing that Grey didn’t dare to speak, Nia put the Greatsword on the floor, then she sat on the sofa, pulled Grey down, and made him lie on her lap.

“Young Man Grey, I was just kidding, don’t take it seriously. Here, I’ll be your leg pillow.”

Grey felt that his life was now complete. He was just about to reach out to touch Nia’s thigh when he saw the kind faces of the couple in his mind, he chickened out.

Bal saw that Nia liked Grey so much, he felt a little helpless. These two have only known each other for a few days, and Nia is so trusting. If Grey wasn’t a good person and hurt Nia’s feelings, Grey wouldn’t even have any ashes left. Phia held Bal’s clenched hand, her gentle action made Bal relax. Then Bal remembered that there was still something important to do.

“Grey, I have a question for you, about the Adventurer’s Guild Master.”

“He’s in Jail, he probably won’t get out. What, are you interested in that position?”

Grey lay on Nia’s lap, enjoying Nia’s caress, and hearing Bal’s words, he slowly spoke his thoughts.

“If you want to be the Guild Master, there is a way. Just submit an application to the Council Hall, and they’ll approve it.”

“So simple?”

“Impossible, you know there are a lot of people eyeing this position. If the Council approves it, you and the other competitors will have a Competition.”

Hearing Grey say this, Bal laughed relieved. It’s a joke, in terms of academics he’s the top of the Kingdom National Academy; in terms of Martial Prowess, he subdued the Demon King and married the Demon King. Competition? What do they have to compete with him?

Seeing Bal’s relaxed expression, Grey narrowed his eyes and continued.

“As far as I know, this Competition will test business Strategy and Martial Prowess. I can believe you have the Martial Prowess, but do you really have the brains to run the Guild well?”

“It’s a joke, you don’t know that I was the top student back then, a perfect score in all subjects. A mere business Strategy is nothing compared to Economics.”

“Then good luck. Don’t forget this is Guangyue Town, a border Exile Land. The people who can come here are not simple.”

After speaking, Grey got up from Nia’s lap and walked upstairs to his room.

Bal looked at Grey’s back, thinking about the meaning behind Grey’s words. Indeed, who among those who could come here weren’t exceptionally capable people in their own countries? Those who could survive being exiled here were either veteran officials or those who were abandoned by their own country like him. No matter which kind, they were not easy to deal with. Bal definitely had to keep this in mind.

Later that evening, Bal finished writing his application and had Xiaoyue send it to the Council Hall.

“Are you confident?”

Phia lay in bed, propping her head up with her hand and looking at Bal.

“It depends, in terms of Martial Prowess, I should be the strongest here. But in terms of management, I might not be as good as those veterans.”

Bal got up from the chair, climbed onto the bed, and hugged Phia.

“Humph, did you forget about me? I was also a Demon Race Leader.”

“Then please take care of me, my dear Wife.”

Bal kissed Phia’s forehead, and then the two lay in bed and took a nap.

After dinner, Phia said she was going to talk to the Dragon, and then teleported away alone. While Bal was squatting in the study doing nothing, Nia walked into the study.

“Bal, can I use the Secret Chamber here?”

“What for?”

Nia smiled mysteriously, making a playful gesture.

“A Secret. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything dangerous. I just need a place to make Alchemy convenient.”

“You still know this craft? How come I didn’t know?”

“Oh, after you graduated, you joined the army, you haven’t seen me since then. At that time, because I was possessed by the Beast God, I was taken away by the people of the Fral God Kingdom, and the Work they first asked me to do was to make medicine. Don’t worry, it’s not any forbidden medicine, they are all medicines for longevity and delaying aging, and of course there are some strong medicines for tonics.”

“Why did they ask you to make Alchemy?”

“Because I can use Divine Magic. Many prescriptions require Divine Aura, there aren’t many true Divine Children in the God’s Country, and every Divine Child must learn this technique. After all, those powerful people don’t like to give up Power.”

After listening to Nia’s explanation, Bal allowed Nia to make Alchemy in the Secret Chamber and said that if she had any needs, she could talk to him.

Half an hour later, a White Light flashed in front of Bal, and Phia returned stepping on the White Light. She excitedly threw herself on Bal.

“The Dragon agreed.”

“That’s good. How did it agree?”

“I gave it a condition it couldn’t refuse.”

Bal’s mind began to imagine Phia holding a Spear, surrounded by Magic Formations, threatening the Dragon.

“Are you thinking that I threatened it with Martial Prowess?”

Seeing Phia pouting at him, Bal nervously waved his hand, and Phia turned around and lay on Bal’s body and continued.

“Actually, I discussed it with it. I said I would provide it with an undisturbed Deep Pit, the pit is at its disposal, and I can teleport it directly there. As soon as it heard of this good thing, it immediately agreed.”

“Then why did it take so long?”

“Because it was a little happy, it gave me a lot of Jewels and Gold Coins. Husband, we have money.”

As Phia spoke, she jumped off Bal’s lap and poured out a lot of gold, silver, and Jewels from her Storage Magic. People who didn’t know would think she had robbed the Dragon’s house.

Seeing such a large amount of Wealth, Bal had an idea. He asked Phia to put away these Treasures, then got up and hugged Phia.

“What are you doing?”

“Taking a bath. My Wife worked so hard today, I have to reward you properly.”

Bal carried Phia downstairs, and he instructed Xiaoyue to take his and Phia’s personal clothing and Pajamas to the bathroom. Then he carried Phia into the bathroom.

Bal held Phia on his lap and helped her undress, Phia struggled to do it herself.

“Don’t be shy, I’ve seen it all anyway.”

“I’m afraid you’ll suddenly attack.”

Seeing that Phia insisted on undressing herself, Bal could only quickly undress himself, he wrapped a Bath Towel around his waist and went into the bathroom first.

Two minutes later, Phia also tied up her hair and walked in with a Bath Towel. Bal immediately asked Phia to sit down, and he rubbed her back.

“Forget it, I’ll do it myself, you wash yourself too.”

Phia knew that Bal would definitely have some little actions, she stopped Bal’s unnecessary kindness. Seeing his plan fail, Bal could only slowly clean himself with a Towel.

After washing, Bal took advantage of Phia’s inattention, picked her up, and the two entered the bathtub together.

“Phew~ It’s so comfortable to soak in hot water after a busy day.”

“Yeah, it’s really comfortable.”

Bal put his arm around Phia’s shoulders, Phia rested her head on Bal’s shoulder, and the two enjoyed the comfort of the hot water in peace.

After soaking for a while, Phia wanted to get up, but Bal pulled her back.

“Darling, don’t go. I’m not done yet~”

“You! Ugh……”

Seeing that Phia was about to erupt, Bal immediately kissed her, then hugged her back into the water. Today he was going to have a bathroom play.

Half an hour later, Bal lifted the limp Phia from the bathtub. After drying Phia’s body, he began to dress Phia. At this time, Phia was weak all over, having just experienced a bathroom battle, she could only let Bal do whatever he wanted. Luckily, Bal was still rational.

After changing his clothes, Bal carried Phia back to the room. Phia lay in bed, using Magic on her abdomen with one hand, Bal was a little puzzled and leaned over to ask.

“Wife, what are you doing?”

“Contraception Magic, I don’t want to get pregnant yet.”

“Okay, okay, if Wife doesn’t want to, then don’t have a child. But if that’s the case, does that mean that as long as you can use Magic, I can do anything?”

“Lecher!”

“Wife, I’m coming, let’s sleep in tomorrow.”

Bal turned off the lights and pounced on his Wife. The night was still long, hoping Phia could hold on.
