Cheat Awakening

Chapter 301. A Proposal Unexpected

"What?!"

"What kind of nonsense are you speaking, Myne? If you are playing with me, you are now asking for a beating," Velvet's voice crackled with disbelief, fear twisting her usually serene face. But the worry etched on Myne's expression, devoid of his usual mischievous glint, told a different story, she understood that he was serious this time.

"Sigh, explain everything to me..."

Relief washed over Myne upon seeing that Velvet wasn't completely against his idea. At least, even if she pretended to be calm, and willing to listen to his explanation for his shake then she was indeed doing wonderful work.

"See, I found a magical scroll inside the mine. Using it is very simple; you just have to tear it apart, and you will gain a special skill temporarily. By using it, you can absorb someone else's vitality to restore yours—simple as eating and drinking, right?"

Silence echoed for what felt like an eternity. Myne's smile wilted under the weight of Velvet's unwavering gaze. Just as he opened his mouth to backtrack, her voice broke the stillness.

"What will happen to the person after I absorb his vitality?" The question hung heavy in the air, its implications grim.

Hesitation appeared on Myne's face. He really didn't want to answer this question, but seeing black lines appearing on Velvet's forehead, He sighed, a heavy burden falling upon his shoulders and decided to tell her the truth.

"Why are you asking when you already know the answer? After absorbing someone's vitality, what else can you expect other than a quick death? Sigh, It's an evil act, I know and you might not like it, but in our current situation, I only hope to see you healthy and kicking. So even if something happens to me, at least you have the power to protect yourself..."

"Nothing is going to happen to you, got it?" Velvet's voice erupted, silencing his self-deprecating whispers. "Don't always think about those ominous things. No wonder our luck wasn't with us; this is probably because of your crow mouth," She yelled in an angry voice making Myne shut up halfway, and after that, she took a deep breath before continuing...

"And... I think what you said is quite reasonable..."

"What!" Myne gaped, his jaw a cavern wide enough to swallow a whole egg.

"Shut up! Don't interrupt!" Velvet's voice, though still firm, held a spark of amusement.

"Sigh, I mean, although I didn't want to admit it, I feel like I am becoming a burden on you in my current condition... Don't try to deny it; you might not think like this, but I am not an idiot. I can see that being half disabled in a situation where every step you take is filled with danger is not easy."

"Yes, you can protect me now, but there will always be a time when your hands will be full, and you can't protect me. What then? We are currently in a state where we are walking on the edge of life and death, and anyone around us is powerful enough to take our lives with ease. That's why thinking about good and bad in this situation is no different than looking for death.

Saying this, Myne again gave Velvet a passionate kiss before dashing out of the chamber, his mind buzzing with adrenaline and excitement.

Velvet thought that it might take Myne some time to find a target, but when he came back within 10 seconds, her mouth couldn't help but twist.

Was that poor guy lying at the entrance of the chamber the entire time? This was the only thought Velvet had as she watched Myne carry an ugly middle-aged, fatty halfling slave demon and throw it in front of the bed.

"This fatty caused me a lot of trouble during the time I was working in the mine. Every time he saw me, he would come to me with a weird smile on his face, trying to touch me in various places like a pervert, while talking nonsense that I obviously couldn't understand.

Although I once gave him quite a nice beating, he became more excited afterwards and started bringing some people with him so they could catch me... If it weren't for the fact that I am powerful enough to defend myself, something bad might have already happened to me," Myne said with fear in his eyes while hugging Velvet like a child complaining to his mother.

His body couldn't help but shiver every time he thought about it.

Velvet, who initially felt some pity for the middle-aged man upon sensing Myne's body shivering in her arms and detecting a hint of fear in his voice, felt a surge of anger and protectiveness and she couldn't help but change her attitude toward this perverted individual.

Now, she wished she could have moved before killing him; she truly wanted to beat him until even his mother couldn't recognize him.

"Don't worry; no one is going to take advantage of you. Now, take out that magic scroll and tell me how to use it. I can't wait to kill this bastard who tried to scare my hubby," Velvet spoke like an angry tiger, her voice filled with anger, while stroking the back of Myne's head.

Myne, finally getting rid of his bad imagination sense in his mind, quickly broke free from Velvet's embrace. He retrieved a golden magic scroll from behind his back, covered in dense, weird-looking, unknown runes that shimmered intermittently, giving off a mysterious vibe to anyone who saw it.

After handing the magic scroll to Velvet, Myne placed his hands under her and lifted her up in a princess carry style before sitting on the ground himself with his legs crossed in front of the fatty halfling. He positioned Velvet in his lap.

"You know, I can sit on the ground, right?" Velvet said with an embarrassed expression, sighing helplessly.

"Oh, come on. We've already seen everything about each other. There's no need to feel embarrassed just because you're sitting on my lap. Compared to what we've done in the past and what we're going to do tonight, this is nothing. Now, stop wasting time and tear the scroll before this fatty wakes up, and I kill him myself in anger," Myne said angrily.

However, what Velvet didn't see due to her position was a mysterious light shining in Myne's eyes, as if he was using multiple skills simultaneously.

Velvet took a deep breath upon hearing Myne's command. She then looked at the fatty in front of her, who had a weird smile on his face and a bulge in his pants. Repulsed by such a disgusting sight, with a resolute twist of her wrist Velvet immediately tore the scroll apart.
