Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)
chapter-179

"Sigh, Luna. You are too impatient. Fine. Do you think that even if Roy Clive is as stupid as he looks, his father, who is one of the Supreme Generals, would be the same? I purposefully wanted to let them think that I was scared, and, in a panic, to save Valentina, I put out a one-sided bet to shift the blame from her head.

If I had offered ridiculous or humiliating conditions, even if Roy would find it funny and stupid, his father would surely be suspicious. Someone who has lived for centuries and knows the things I have done would think that I am up to something. He might even prepare Roy to use some backhanded schemes, which I don't have time to entertain. It's easier to destroy an unsuspecting enemy. Of course, they should pay for tormenting Valentina and me."

Luna added, "I can't believe you thought that far ahead. Well, in a way, it is right that you should not waste time with these idiots. But I think it's also because your alter identity's influence hasn't been solidified yet."

Damien acknowledged, "True. I hadn't even made my location public; otherwise, who knows how many people would be waiting before my gates. I think it's time I started concocting pills and also pay a visit to the Clive and Rivers Family. They will soon realize what happens if they mess with me. Why attract needless troubles when I can make things end in a way that they won't even realize who or what hit them."

Damien thought that he could also build up his wealth passively and spread his influence simultaneously. He had told the Alchemist Society that he would be laying low for a month, but now he decided to cut it short.

Luna said in a thrilled tone, "Aah, I can't wait for it. Even if mortals are insignificant, it is surely entertaining to see these kinds of things. At least, you are not boring this goddess."

"But first, I have to visit the Forsaken people tomorrow and get myself initiated to be one of them. However, I still don't get why they picked me unless they think I am going to stick with them for dozens of years. And that Triton, whenever I see him, I feel...something off about him. I just don't know what exactly though." Damien said in a perplexed tone.

Luna said in a vague tone, "That Triton surely is an interesting guy. I think you two would get along."

Damien denied, "Nah, I don't think so. That dude seems too uptight and serious. I can see it that he is very invested in what he is doing."

Damien and Valentina soon enough got inside their villa, and he went to take a bath.

He was thinking about the pleasant surprises he had today and the things he should do tomorrow.

But as he was bathing in the warm water, he felt two soft hands suddenly embrace him from behind.

He was a bit startled but instantly knew whose hands it was. He quickly put on a thin cloth around his waist and turned around.

He sighed as he maintained his focus on the face of the naked and bewitching beauty in front of him, "Valentina, what are you doing here?"

Valentina giggled, "Didn't I tell Big Brother that we should save time by bathing together? And I also want you to teach me some things."

Damien asked perplexedly, "Teach? Wait…how did you even enter inside?"

Damien looked towards the door and was surprised that it was still locked.

But then everything clicked inside his head, and he saw Valentina impishly giggling.

"You phased through the door?" Damien asked as he raised his brows. He couldn't find any other explanation and felt that her ability was kind of a cheat ability.

Valentina nodded with a beaming smile, "Isn't what I did amazing?"

Damien felt that probably the day when he and Lily were making love, Valentina indeed peeked and saw the things they did. Although he had guessed it before, only now could he truly confirm it as even Luna hinted at it.

He didn't know what to feel or do about it. It was as if a child caught their parents having intercourse. He didn't know how to approach or talk about it to Valentina, and she didn't even say anything about it in the first place.

He thought whether he should ask her about it now but decided not to put her in a difficult situation. He believed that it was the best option for now. But most of all, he didn't know to explain what happened between Lily and him.

He had no experience teaching or talking about these kinds of stuff to someone like Valentina, who had no knowledge of these things. He also had no idea how Valentina would feel when he talks about the things he and Lily did.

He knew he was only delaying the inevitable, but he decided to talk about it later when he is confident.

Damien said as he squinted his eyes, "Yes, it's amazing, but…" He flicked her forehead softly as he continued, "…does that mean you naughty girl can jump on your Big Brother who is bathing?"

Valentina pouted as she rubbed her forehead cutely, "But I only wanted to help Big Brother…can't I?" She asked with puppy eyes.

Damien hesitated, and seeing her puppy eyes, he couldn't find the resolve to refuse her.

Damien sighed and sat on the bath stool with his eyes closed, "Fine. But make it quick."

Valentina smiled triumphantly and washed his body with her delicate hands. She crouched down and started licking his back.

Feeling the warm and soft sensation on his back, Damien questioned skeptically, "Valentina, does washing my body include licking?"

Valentina replied candidly, "I am just trying to wash and make you comfortable with my tongue and lips. After all, Big Brother told me one bathes to invigorate themselves and at the same time relax."

"Lips? What I meant was..aah..fine." Damien let out a sigh of resignation, and he even questioned himself what he taught her. He already let her lick his body before, so didn't think it would make much of a difference if she did it again.

Valentina exultantly smiled as she continued to lick over the middle of his back. As she reached his nape, she kissed on his skin softly in a loving manner and looked at Damien's expression to see if he was going to say anything.

'Did she just kiss on my skin? Is this why she said she would use her lips?' Damien thought of telling her not to use her lips, but then he remembered that he had already allowed her to do it.

He felt that whenever Valentina asked him something, it was very hard for him to refuse her. And because of that he wondered if he was spoiling her too much.

Valentina felt happy that he didn't stop her. She wrapped her dainty fingers slowly over his shoulder blades as she kissed along his neck and even nibbled lightly over his vein.

'Oooh…' Damien unknowingly let out a groan of pleasure as Valentina kissed his neck. And he felt as if he was going to get bitten by a vampire.

As she extended her hands over his neck, he felt as if he was a gullible prey caught in the hands of a predator.

Even though Valentina did not bite into his skin, she felt so attracted and intoxicated by the scent of his blood that she was tempted to taste a bit of his blood.

She could feel his vein pulsating as his blood flowed through it. In her eyes, she could clearly see all the veins and the pathways through which his blood flows.

Damien noticed Valentina hovering over his neck for a while as if her lips were reluctant to leave.

He sighed and asked softly, "Valentina, do you want to taste my blood?" He felt that it was a long time since she tasted some blood and might have been feeling hungry for it.

He thought that a half ethereal beast like her wouldn't always do well with human food and felt that he could quench her thirst using his blood.

Valentina was surprised to hear his question and felt happy that Damien was concerned about her. But she chewed on her lip and asked timidly, "But is Big Brother fine with it?" She didn't know if Damien found it uncomfortable, although she wouldn't definitely cause him any pain.

Damien smiled and said warmly, "Of course, otherwise, why would I ask you? As long as you don't knock me out, it's fine."

Valentina said assertively, "No, even if I drink your blood, it won't hurt at all. I can drink at a pace your heart pumps out blood so that you won't feel anything. I will also make you feel more comfortable."

Damien softly chuckled, "I know you won't hurt me. But if you can also make me comfortable, then that's only a good thing for me. So, go ahead."

Valentina smiled and almost drooled, thinking about drinking his blood. She gently held his chin and tilted his head sideways. Her fangs slowly emerged out as she softly bit into his skin.

Other than feeling a pricking sensation for a moment, he didn't feel anything but a comforting warmth spreading from his neck and across his body. It was as if his blood was being refreshed and reinvigorated from inside.

He felt as if he could let Valentina suck his blood forever and not ever be bothered by it while basking himself in the comforting sensation.

Without further ado, Valentina finally started sucking his blood slowly.
