Chapter 226 - A Husband Begins His Small Adventure On 19th Floor's Fire Kingdom!
Kyoya and his party were ready to go around the 19th floor's fire continent!
Just a few hours were needed for the newest member to prepare for a new adventure, but no one really minded that. As the queen in her cover appeared before them, Kyoya nodded unconsciously, then faintly spoke.
"Thank you for waiting."
"It's fine. Let's go then!"
Since Kyoya had no clue about other entrances, his only 'clue' would be the caught invader's body that was residing within his inventory. From what Yue told him, the kingdoms have tried to find the connection using those bodies and seized frozen energies, but to no avail!
Every technique to find other entrances failed solely because the frozen energies were used with high concept techniques! The entrances were also protected and so caused many problems for the fire kingdoms.
Nonetheless, the irregular concept was still shrouding the whole floor, so it could be used for their advantage.
But Kyoya was in an area that was crowded with people, so he couldn't just go and try his own ways of finding the entrances. A more desolate area was needed, so Kyoya's eyes were furtively looking at the queen that was beyond recognition.
What was more mysterious was that the queen just changed her clothes and hairstyle. She wore traditional leather adventurer clothes for female adventures. These clothes consisted of knee long boots, short pants and armor. Other than a little around her thighs, the queen didn't show much of her skin!
However, her hairstyle caused the older woman to look way too innocent. It might've been Xiaoxiao's idea as Yue had twin tails instead of a bun and this alone made her look cuter and even younger a little.
This brought up a charm that was like a border between older and younger versions!
The husband was conflicted inside, but weren't such sights possible thanks to him adventuring throughout the world? He found these to be valuable! At the end of his life, Kyoya will be able to tell his children and grandsons the good stories!
A few minutes later, Kyoya and his party found a great area for the rest and some investigation. Some figures still could flash not too far away from them, but these were all the adventurers and the kingdom's forces going around to keep a tight watch.
It went without saying that the kingdoms issued ample missions for adventurers to help them with the invaders.
"I should summon the house. Now that I think of it, some fire stones would be a great addition to my bathroom and new kitchen project."
"Husband should gather some wood and iron for the oven!"
Ding!
Quest!
Xaya's voice already issued the quest. It wasn't like she wanted the kitchen and all other rooms right now, but this floor was great for the kitchen project! This quest brought up a smile on the husband's face. Then Xiaoxiao, who was already aware of a lot of things from the husband's side, smiled too.
The rest faintly smiled, but the queen was all blinking.
She was like many women who couldn't understand the husband's ways! Before she could voice out her confusion, Xiaoxiao pulled the long twintail and gathered her attention. This spearwoman was already a good friend.
"No need to be worried, Yue."
"I am just confused, Xiaoxiao. Could you help me understand the situation better?"
The confusion grew when the husband summoned the house and then discussed some kitchen furniture's details with Xaya.
Of course, Xiaoxiao already had words prepared up!
"We have to check the mountains anyway, right? So we can score two birds with one sword and help Xaya's kitchen project in this way! This house is also summoned for the better rest and Kyoya plans to check the invader's dead body here. It is one of the leaders, so he might guide us!"
"That's true… It's not like we exactly know where the entrances are, so such minor 'quests' can be the key… I would say it is unique and charming."
"Charming?"
It was Xiaoxiao's turn to blink her beautiful orange eyes!
"Yes, this feels like genuine freedom. I like it."
"I like it too!"
The two fire ladies entered the house in the best mood, then the investigation began… or more like Kyoya wanted to begin some investigation!
"THE HUSBAND!"
"W-what?"
"No dead filth in my house!"
"Damn… Where is Josef when I need him?"
The husband thought about the underground immediately rather than trying to refute his wife. Her words sounded rather correct and so Kyoya suddenly missed his good friend. If Josef were to be here, then he would make the underground without any problems!
Or at least he would try to connect to the ground and use his technique for a while.
"Did you also get the quest for the underground?"
"Hmm? No, not really."
The queen suddenly approached the husband with Xiaoxiao next to her. Both fire ladies were hot on their own and carried the different vibes! As Yue was within the house, she took some of her armor, so her aura was highly different.
Now, her eyes were hovering on the husband who found a first obstacle.
"But it would be the best if we got the underground. Let me help with that."
As it was still the land of The Yuyu Kingdom, Yuyu Yue took out the special treasure that looked like a fire drop. This fire drop gleamed with a mixture of red and orange hue and it looked simply beautiful.
Kyoya instantly noticed Xiaoxiao's eyes taking a liking to such treasure. He also imagined her wearing a necklace similar to such a fire drop. As Xiaoxiao deserved the best, Kyoya's heart shook and the self-quest appeared within his mind.
However, Yue's treasure was the priority right now.
"This is my kingdom's land, so I can affect it with enough powers. Where do you want the underground's entrance, Kyoya?"
"Hmm, how about here? But wouldn't such treasure help the kingdom in their search?"
"This is the privilege to the royal family and highest nobles. I also can use it for just two hours at most. Then, my land will turn back to its former shape."
"Ah, I see. It demands high energy and special bloodline… It might help us in the future, though."
"If so, then I will be in your care."
Yue smiled sweetly with her new charm, then the fire drop descended onto the pointed area. It began to blaze with the Lord Feniks' immortal flames, then one could see the soil literally getting evaporated! The entrance to the underground began to take a form then!
"No… It just shattered like that…"
Xiaoxiao lost the sight of beautiful fire drop, but Kyoya was close already. He hugged her from behind, then whispered softly.
"I will give you a better one soon."
His voice was magical as it tickled and evoked the warmth out of Xiaoxiao's heart. She looked at him with scarlet blush, then whispered back…
"Thanks… I will also prepare something for you, Kyoya… You have to wait for me, okay?"
"Okay… I already look forward to your present, Xiaoxiao."
"Me too!"
Their exchange was heard by Xaya, her message already displayed in Xiaoxiao's private message chat! It seemed like a yandere wife also wanted to prepare something for the husband!
As Xiaoxiao was interested in Xaya's choice, she agreed on the spot and decided to use it to prepare something good for the husband.
In the meantime, the underground got prepared all for him!
"Done! It can last around an hour as I don't want to use all my energy. Is that fine, Kyoya?"
"It is, Yue. You can use my bathroom in the meantime. It is possibly the best bathroom in the whole low floors."
"Oh, that might not be true, you know? But I will only comment after trying yours out.... What is this? Bathroom System? How did it…"
"Are you scared of my bathroom, Yue? Haha!"
"Not in the slightest, Kyoya. You exactly know what I have in mind yet you dare to joke like that. Be careful on your way as this underground might become a prison straight from this queen's hand."
Yue joked, her tongue slightly out! It was shocking to the husband who didn't expect her to open like that so quickly! But it was a welcoming attitude and so he teased back with his tongue, then went to the underground.
A few moments later, the queen's soft moans escaped through the bathroom's doors as she enjoyed the jacuzzi.
