Seeking monthly pass~) 324: Chapter 158: Return of the Death Claw (Happy National Day!

Seeking monthly pass~) At the first light of dawn, Leon awoke on time due to his regular biological clock.

Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivating Magic Power and Martial Arts, which granted him a knight’s body far surpassing ordinary men, his need for sleep had significantly decreased.

Unless it was after that kind of Magic Power training that drained all his energy, he never again experienced the need to sleep ten hours a night as he had in his previous life.

Nowadays, with over eight hours of ample rest time each day, Leon spent three to four of those hours lying in bed practicing the Lorelette meditation taught in the Magic Guidebook, which involved controlling his mental state and adjusting the activity of the Magic Element circulation.

In reality, he only needed four hours of true sleep each night to fully recover his strength.

Of course, recently, sleeping less wasn’t always just because of “meditation”…

Opening his eyes, Leon turned his face to the side and tenderly rubbed Olivia’s hair.

Indeed, there was nothing like the blissful sleep while holding the soft body of his lover.

Last night, he had carried the drowsy Lena back to the maids’ large room.

When he returned to the bedroom, pondering hard and hesitating over what story to tell Olivia, he saw the girl roll up her sleeves and start to wash herself in a bucket of water she had prepared in the room.

“…Father and those few sisters should have all gone to bed, I’m afraid if I listen to a story, then go back and knock on the door, it will disturb everyone.”

…Hearing the girl’s clumsy excuse, Leon clearly understood the meaning behind her words.

However, in his delight, when he actually crawled into bed and took the girl into his arms, he didn’t go back on his word.

After a moment’s thought, considering the girl’s interests and hobbies, Leon seriously began to tell Olivia a story tailored to her tastes.

Unlike the wildly imaginative patchwork used to soothe Lena,

Leon painstakingly translated the well-known historical legends of his past life into the cultural understanding and context of Felu, and told Olivia the epic known as “Three Kingdoms.”

While he couldn’t recount every single plotline, the classic scenes were practically carved into Leon’s soul.

He certainly wouldn’t mess up too badly, so he used these as a framework to compile and reconstruct a Three Kingdoms epic with a native cultural backdrop…

Olivia originally thought that her lover would use those strange, childish tales to placate her.

But soon, she was surprised to find that the story he told was so fascinating, she almost instantly fell into the enthralling narrative of the distant legend.

The final years of the East Gallic Empire, the corrupt emperor, the treacherous officials running amok…

the uprising of the Yellow God Church, the chaotic times unfolding…

The Rose Garden’s oath of brotherhood…

the generous and benevolent Sir Verti, the loyal and righteous Bade Knight, the brave and bold Sir Strong…

The alliance of eighteen Lords, crusading against the great treacherous Demong…

Bade Knight, dispatching an enemy with warmed wine…

All the way until the conclusion of the harbor battle between the Mages and General Honno.

Receiving honors and dispatching gold, Bade escorts the Lord’s wife, defeating generals across five fortresses and seeking his Lord to depart.

The enraptured Olivia listened with shining eyes, her fists clenched tight, thrilled to the point of wishing she could enter the story, sword in hand, to escort the loyal and brave Bade Knight.

But just as it got to the point where Bade found his sworn brother Strong in a rural castle, a misunderstanding erupted…

Leon paused his words, helplessly realizing that the girl beside him, propping her head on her hand and listening to the story, absentmindedly swayed her little feet back and forth, seemingly more and more energized.

He knew that if he continued, Olivia probably wouldn’t want to sleep all night.

Though with their physical endurance, staying up all night wouldn’t affect them too much the next day.

But upon further thought, Leon realized,

With this story’s allure, couldn’t he entice the girl to stay with him and warm his bed every day?

If he finished the story in one breath, what would he do tomorrow?

What about the day after?

He hadn’t watched much of Red Tower.

Water Margin…

With his limited literacy, he definitely couldn’t translate it into the Felu narrative, let alone Olivia probably wouldn’t fancy those “heroes” whose level of misdeeds could compare with Kantadar thugs.

And as for Journey to the West, it was questionable how much appeal it would have for Olivia.

Realizing what a precious Treasure he had in his hands, he immediately announced that if they wanted to know what happened next, they would need to tune in for the following installment.

Using the late hour as an excuse, he cut the story off at that point.

Amid Olivia’s frustrated sobs, the midnight storytelling session came to an end, despite the girl’s pleading and protests…

…

Reflecting on the beautiful morning with his lover in his arms, Leon couldn’t hold back any longer and started to get handsy…

Soon, Olivia also slowly woke up because of the other’s “multitude of misdeeds.”

Bending down to kiss the girl’s forehead, Leon greeted her with an expression both sleazy and teasing, “~Good morning.”

“…Mm~…”

Olivia rubbed her sleepy eyes and arched her back slightly.

She opened her eyes, snuggled up, and reached out to wrap her arms around her lover’s neck, her voice soft yet tinged with a slight annoyance.

“…You, always scaring me even in my dreams.”

“What do you mean?” Leon puzzled.

Olivia grumbled huffily, “I dreamt I became Bade Knight, finally clearing up the misunderstanding with Strong Knight who had Lokhak’s face, and found General Verti with your face, but then you suddenly hugged me and started touching me everywhere and scared me awake.”

Oh?

I became Uncle Liu?

And I was groping Second Master?…

Indeed, such a scene would be quite shocking.

Leon couldn’t help but laugh, “But it was your dream, how can you blame me for that?”

“Hmph!

At least stop your hands when you’re feigning innocence…

No wonder I had such a ‘nightmare,'” Olivia muttered with a frown, softly chiding, “In any case, you must continue the story tonight.”
