Chapter 168 In order to welcome you in bed

Caesar looked at her, his eyes filled with a desire that seemed to want to devour her.

He gently touched her with the tip of his nose.

The heavy bed curtains isolated them from the outside world, and as their breaths mingled, the temperature inside the tent rose somewhat.

"Don't you know?" His voice suddenly became hoarse.

His thin lips exuded the rich aroma of wine, as if he were about to kiss him.

However, just before their lips were about to touch, he suddenly restrained himself.

He stepped back slightly and used his fingertips to gently caress her lips.

“It’s too early to tell you now.” He looked at her eyelashes, which trembled slightly with nervousness. “I’ll save it for… a more special time.”

Ning Shuyin felt that the atmosphere was becoming unbearable.

She pushed him hard in the chest, successfully pushing him away.

“You seem to have become stronger.” Caesar sat up, but did not let her leave as she wished.

He had noticed it earlier; her gaze kept drifting, intentionally or unintentionally, towards the pair of furry animal ears on his head.

He deliberately shook his head, and his golden ears twitched playfully again.

"What? Do you like it?"

"What is this?" Ning Shuyin asked curiously.

"It's just a plush toy, specially prepared to welcome you in bed."

After saying that, he took her hand, guided her fingertips to touch the animal ears in his hair: "How is it? Feels good, right?"

Ning Shuyin has a natural tendency to find it hard to resist cute, fluffy things.

An unexpectedly soft touch came from my fingertips, warm and delicate, just like the fur of a real little creature.

The moment she touched him, Caesar's chest visibly heaved.

He turned his face to the side, using his cascading golden hair to cover the faint blush that was rising at the base of his ears.

He didn't tell her that this plush toy wasn't just a simple hair clip, but a high-tech product with neuromorphic capabilities that could perfectly synchronize with real tactile nerves.

Ning Shuyin thought the toy was too realistic and couldn't help but squeeze it a couple more times.

Caesar's breathing had become unsteady, and his Adam's apple bobbed incessantly.

He felt his body had become restless.

A golden cat tail peeked out from under his robe and gently wrapped around her slender calves.

Ning Shuyin was startled and looked down.

Caesar said innocently, "It seems that the tail likes you too."

"Let go." Ning Shuyin tried to pull her leg back, but the tail only tightened its grip.

Her struggle caused the two already unsteady people to lose their balance.

Caesar's weight pressed her down again, and the two rolled half a circle on the soft, seemingly devouring bed.

This time, his body pressed even closer to hers.

She was unable to move.

And that unruly cat tail, taking advantage of the situation, climbed up her smooth calves.

Ning Shuyin was so nervous that her fair forehead was slightly sweaty.

"Don't move, little one." Caesar's voice was deliberately suppressed. "I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" She swallowed hard.

"Can the pain you caused me last time be repeated?"

Outside the door.

The obsidian carved door blocked out the view and most of the sound.

Klose remained quietly hidden in the shadows of the corridor.

His hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people; he heard every single word of the intermittent whispers and the rustling of clothes in the bedroom.

"Plump toys..."

"Feels good..."

"My tail likes you too..."

Hearing these ambiguous words, his handsome face remained unmoved, as cold as ice that had never melted.

Until that last sentence came clearly.

"Can the pain you caused me last time... be repeated?"

A seemingly calm person suddenly tenses up.

The memory of their last training session flashed through his mind; he remembered the way she wielded her long whip and the feeling of his power increasing.

Would she treat other men the same way? Do you need to flirt with her to seduce her?

An emotion he couldn't decipher gripped his heart.

Inside the bedroom.

Upon hearing the word "pain," Ning Shuyin immediately understood that Caesar was referring to the pain-transferring bracelet.

The thought of the bracelet's side effect—that shameful body odor—made her cheeks burn uncontrollably, and her eyes darted away.

"No, the pain caused by that special situation can't be reproduced," she said, making things up.

"Is that so..." Caesar seemed somewhat disappointed.

Taking advantage of his distraction, Ning Shuyin darted away and escaped from the dangerous bed.

Caesar followed closely behind her: "How did you end up as a salvage worker?"

"Two weeks later, at the annual auction of the Shadow Abyss Auction House, I took a fancy to something," she told the truth.

Caesar is an SSS-level powerhouse; he wouldn't stoop to fighting her for a single energy crystal.

"That's quite a coincidence. I'm also going to bid for the Purification Crystal, so you can share an auction seat with me."

“Sure.” She wouldn’t refuse a seat offered to her door, which would save her a large deposit.

He followed her closely, saying, "Since you're going to salvage it, why don't I go with you?"

He offered bait: "Perfect timing! I know a few secret places with great stuff inside, enough to make us enough money to attend the auction. How about I go on the adventure with you?"

He waited for her to agree.

Right now, Situ Linchen is probably still busy with the new power distribution within the alliance, Zhou Zhiheng is probably spending money all over the world to build an intelligence network, and Loran...

Caesar only heard that there was no movement from his side. Perhaps the ice block had already given up on her.

Now, only Caesar not only found her, but just now he was pressed tightly against her, letting her touch his ear on the bed.

The feeling of crushing all competitors, coming from behind to gain an absolute advantage, is simply wonderful.

Moreover, if he could facilitate this trip, he could rightfully possess her entirely. A desolate planet, perilous ruins, only the two of them, dependent on each other…

A long journey, a lone man and a lone woman—enough for a lot to happen.

Ning Shuyin was unaware of Caesar's schemes. For her, having Caesar, a local strongman, involved would undoubtedly greatly increase the success rate of their operation.

She pushed open the door and walked out, nodding as she did so: "Then let's act together."

Seeing her agree, Caesar's smile widened.

He followed behind her, bent down, and gently rubbed the back of her neck with his furry animal ears.

"Well then, it's a pleasure doing business with you, my..."

Just as he was about to utter his newest nickname for her with a smile on his lips, a chilling force suddenly struck, blocking him and Ning Shuyin.

The force that suddenly appeared was as thick as an ice wall, not only separating him from Ning Shuyin, but also causing the temperature in the entire corridor to drop sharply.

Caesar was dressed very lightly, and not only did he get goosebumps all over his body, but his animal ears almost fell off from the cold.

"What is that?" His lazy, azure eyes instantly sharpened.

A figure with flowing white hair had appeared between the two of them at some point.

"Do not approach the owner without permission."
