....
A few minutes ago, Azmond asked everyone if they wanted to take a nap before they moved onto the Twenty First Step, and for so odd reason, everyone imdiately said yes.
Following such a group confirmation, he set out dozens of jumbo-sized beds in the black do, enough that every person, including Spiritfla and Ayalah, would get their own, but other than Spiritfla and Ayalah, not a single other person slept in their own bed.
Azmond at the ti thought nothing of it and just assud that they changed their minds about sleeping, but he was quickly proven wrong in his speculations when they all followed him into bed.
And that wasn't even the worst part of it, as they all had on the most alluring and scandalous nightwear they could possibly find in their storage rings!
In fact, a few of them might as well have been wearing no nightgowns or lingerie, considering how little fabric they actually had on them.
Nonetheless, after everyone got on the sa bed, Azmond assud that things would escalate and they would attempt to take him right then and there, but surprisingly, not a single one of them tried anything on him.
They simply snuggled up to his body before falling asleep on top of him.
But it seed like they were the only ones behaving, as Boundless and even Calista made a few moves on Azmond.
He had, of course, slapped their sneaky hands away, albeit for two different reasons.
-
'I really need to have a talk with Calista about her new attitude towards .' Azmond thought with an aged look on his face.
He truly lanted his fate for being so handso that even underage girls were attempting to do things to him regardless of the consequences.
He had no experience dealing with such 'situations', and he couldn't reprimand that adorable face of Calista's, so like most matters in life, he simply left the matter for later
It was unknown how his relationship with Calista would turn out, but he hoped he could help her calm down a little in her 'outgoing' actions against him.
A part of him believed that she was taking after the Monster Queen's seductress-like deanors, but he also believed that part of her brazen behavior was due to suddenly having feelings she didn't even know she had before.
'...Won are so complex' Azmond thought with an exasperated sigh.
His hands moved around the group of won, accidentally touching a few soft and squishy spots, until he was eventually able to make his way to a certain grayish, white-haired catkin woman who had latched onto his chest a while back.
After his hands made their way to her head, he started to tenderly caress it before he whispered, "Why are you here as well?"
"..." Clawdia's silver-grayish eyes looked up at Azmond before, in a tone just as quiet, she replied, "My bed was cold, and it looked cozy over here."
Her voice ca out in an earnest way, as her expression was completely serious when responding.
"..." Azmond stared into those mysteriously beautiful jewels of hers before he asked, "Don't you feel uncomfortable sleeping next to a man you just t a few hours ago?"
"...No"
"...Why?"
Clawdia looked at her baby sister, who was latched onto his neck, before, in a soft tone, she said, "Since she's so comfortable around you, then naturally, I don't mind such intimacy either."
"..." Azmond scrutinized her expression for a second before he mumbled, "I see."
After hearing his response, Clawdia turned her head back down, preparing to go back to sleep. But before she could fully doze off, Azmond's voice resounded once more.
"You really care about your sister, don't you?" He asked in a gentle tone.
Clawdia heard his answer as her eyes tilted up before she responded, "I do."
However, she wasn't done speaking as her throat beca a little strained, and she continued. "I-If you knew what she had been through because of , then you'd understand my feelings on the matter, I-If-"
She was about to get stuck in a pit of morass, but before she could, Azmond's soft yet firm hand ca crashing down on her head!
*Pat Pat*
"!?" Clawdia escaped her thoughts as she looked up, only to see a warm smile on Azmond's face.
Following such a radiant smile, he whispered, "You shouldn't bla yourself for the entire matter that happened with your family and the Overseers. I think you did the best you could given the extrely limited options you had."
Clawdia's pretty eyes never left Azmond's profound blues as she muttered, "You really are a kind man."
Following such a muted proclamation, her tail started to twitch a little as her fluffy cat ears bent down a tiny bit, before she turned her head down from Azmond's face and went back to sleep.
'...' Azmond thought over the familiar phrase that everyone kept on telling him, and he couldn't help but think that they were wrong in their deductions.
'I'm not nice. I simply do things for other people, so as to benefit myself,' he thought with a solemn expression.
Azmond wouldn't allow himself to beco soft-hearted in the world of cultivation, or at least, he wouldn't allow himself to realize it.
That was just the type of ntality you had to have if you wished to live in a world that was against you from the very beginning.
A full day passed by, as Azmond, Calista, Boundless, Clawdia, the Monster Queens, Ayalah, Spirtfla, the won in Azmond's storage ring, and the unconscious Marina made their way to the door that would lead them to the Twenty First Floor.
Marina and the won in Azmond's storage ring had not awoken yet, but when they did, he already had varying ideas on how he should handle both matters.
But that was for another ti, as he would worry about that after he had fully entered the Twenty First Floor of the Luminous Grounds.
...
*Step Step*
Soft footsteps echoed out, as Azmond and the gang approached the door to the Twenty-First Floor.
Everyone had varying expressions after understanding where they were going; however, the most excited of them all had to be Azmond and Emu.
After all, they had heard from Clawdia that it wasn't just the Monster Emperor's that lived on the Twenty First Floor
