Free Web NovelChapter 98: Chapter 98: The High Priest is Amused!
Oh no, oh no, oh no! Yue Yue screamed internally. If he feels the hard bump of the egg, it’s all over! He’ll know I’m already pregnant with a snake cub!
Suddenly, the System’s voice echoed sharply in her head.
[Host! Warning! The High Priest’s emotions are triggering a surge in his instincts! You must do something to divert his attention immediately! If he keeps touching your belly, he will find the egg. It will be a disaster for you and the cub! You have to safely give birth to that egg!]
Yue Yue was terrified. She had to act fast. Thinking of nothing else, she grabbed the High Priest’s face with both of her hands and pulled him down toward her. She didn’t wait for him to react; she kissed him back fiercely, putting all her energy into it.
While their lips were locked, she reached down and grabbed his hand...the one that was roaming dangerously near her stomach. ƒrēewebnovel.com
She moved it away from her belly and placed it firmly on her upper thigh instead. She then wrapped her own legs around his torso dangerously, hugging him as close as possible so there was no space for his hands to wander back down to her bump.
The High Priest was completely stunned for a second. He hadn’t expected her to be so bold or to kiss him back with such passion.
His red eyes widened slightly before his own desires took over. He stopped thinking about the "wild man" or the "snake" for a moment.
He groaned into the kiss and secured his hands around her, holding her tightly so she wouldn’t fall as he kissed her back with even more hunger than before.
Yue Yue kept her eyes closed, kissing him with everything she had. She felt bad for tricking him, but she had to protect her baby.
She just hoped that her heartbeat wasn’t loud enough for him to realize how scared she actually was. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
The scene between them intensified quickly.
The High Priest was stunned by her sudden boldness.
For a moment, he let himself be swept away, but then his logical mind kicked back in. He realized this naughty female in his arms was acting almost like she wanted to devour him whole.
With a sudden movement, he regained control. He reached up and gently but firmly gripped her small neck, tilting her head back to break the kiss. He was breathing heavily, his red eyes burning with desire and amusement.
"You are really a handful," he whispered hoarsely, his voice rumbling in his chest.
"How could you kiss your High Priest like this? Have you no shame at all?"
Yue Yue was stunned. She stared at him, her lips swollen and her face red.
Is this man crazy or what? she thought angrily. He was the one who had dragged her in here and started kissing her first, but now he was acting like she was the one being inappropriate!
The hypocrisy made her so angry she wanted to reach out and slap his perfect, God-like face.
"Put me down then!" she snapped, struggling slightly in his grip. "If I can’t kiss you, then why are you holding me? Are you not the holy High Priest? How can you hold a female like this in public or even in private?"
She immediately pointed toward his other hand, which was still gripping her thigh tightly to keep her from slipping. She felt his heat through the layers of her robes, and it made her skin prickle.
The High Priest didn’t look offended. Instead, his voice sounded quite amused as he replied, "Is it not because you are the one clinging to your High Priest so tightly? Your arms are wrapped around my neck like you never want to let go."
Yue Yue huffed, turning her face away to hide her embarrassment. "Why would I want to cling to you? I was just... I was just scared! Put me down right now!"
She even bared her teeth at him like a tiny, angry kitten, trying to look threatening despite being trapped in his arms.
The High Priest suddenly pulled his lips into a small smile as he looked at her angry expression.
He didn’t quite understand what kind of emotions were swirling inside him. He had lived for many years as a cold, distant figure, but he always felt incredibly good when he was with this female. It was a novel feeling, something that warmed his cold blood.
However, that warmth could turn into a deadly fire in an instant.
Just thinking about the scene in the hall made his heart turn cold again. If any other male even dared to lay their eyes on her, he felt an instant, murderous rage.
If she hadn’t been right there in his arms, he knew he would have done something much worse to those Orcs than just knocking them off a stage.
He wanted to tear apart anyone who looked at her with greed.
But he didn’t want to ruin his mood further by thinking about those filthy beasts. All he wanted was to focus his attention on the woman in his arms.
Her legs were wrapped around his waist, and the feeling was so novel and addictive that he didn’t want to put her down at all. He liked the weight of her against him; it made him feel like she was only made for him.
He leaned down, his face inches from hers, and asked in a low, suggestive voice, "Tell me... is your estrus finally gone? Or are you still feeling... restless?"
Yue Yue’s face turned a shade of red so deep it almost looked purple. She remembered how she had used "estrus" as an excuse before, and now he was bringing it up again with that look in his eyes.
He was looking at her like she was a delicious piece of fruit he was about to peel.
"Yes! Yes, it’s gone!" she squeaked, trying to push against his chest. "Completely gone! I’m perfectly fine now, so you can let me go!"
