Chapter 139 Gentle Morning
Natalie saw all of these and she became guilty. It was her fault that Dan was so exhausted. If she wasn\'t so selfish and fed him a Never Gonna Go Down Pill. He may not be as tired as he was now.
Natalie lifted her head and said with a kind tone, "Dear, I\'m sorry about what happened last night, if I didn\'t feed you that pill, you wouldn\'t be as worn out as you are now..."
Dan heard her words and his exhausted expression flashed with tenderness. Lifting his arm, he patted her head and said, "It\'s fine, as long as you\'re satisfied, and it\'s not like I didn\'t want it in the first place..." He smirked and Natalie buried her head inside his chest.
If the disciples of the Paradyne Academy saw her feminine actions, their jaws would fall to the ground. Particularly, those who worshipped Natalie as their Goddess. Dan wondered about their reactions when they find that their Goddess actually has a husband.
"Little wife, I seem to have remembered something, do you have any idea about this?" Dan took a jadeslips that he bought from Michael and presented it before Natalie\'s eyes. Natalie lifted her head and stared in confusion at the jadeslip.
"Judging from how you look, it seems like you don\'t have any idea about this, right?" Natalie nodded her head in response and Dan smirked, "Let me just show you what\'s inside this jadeslip..." Dan crushed the jadeslips and resplendent lights materialized in the air, forming the image of Natalie clad in thin robes drenched in water.
The moisture from the water formed an adhesive which made the robes stick on her curvaceous figure. Natalie\'s expression changed, "Dear, where did you get these pictures?" Her eyebrows locked in thought, after all, she didn\'t think that Dan would do such things since he could just request it and Natalie would strip for him.
"I acquired this from an organization in this Academy called the Goddess Appreciation Club..." Dan\'s visage turned indescribable and Natalie cried out, "Goddess Appreciation Club? I heard of them before and my fellow sisters are hunting them down. Unfortunately, they\'re too slippery and reclusive..."
"I see, however, I didn\'t just acquire a single jadeslip, you know? I have at least a hundred of them..." Dan nonchalantly spoke before waving his hands as numerous jadeslips, the size of his thumb fell on his chest. Natalie stared at these slips with widened eyes before her expression flashed in anger.
As Dan\'s wife, she had to take care of her own body and make sure that only Dan could see her body\'s full glory. However, little did she knew that the Goddess Appreciation Club has infiltrated the Fragrant Peak Pavilion and secretly took some pictures of her in her private time.
This made her irritated and vexed, but Dan pacified her by saying, "Don\'t worry about it anymore, I just entered a deal with their leader and acquired Exclusive Rights for your images, no matter when they were taken, they would send all of your images to me..." Dan revealed a prideful expression and Natalie looked uncertain, "Exclusive Rights? What does that mean?"
"It means that I can be the only one that shall hold your pictures, Hmmph! How can I just let anyone ogle my wife?" Dan coldly snorted and Natalie\'s expression flickered for a moment before she lifted a sweet smile and said, "Exclusive Rights, eh? But you don\'t really need to do that, you know? Since I\'m yours, you can just ask and I\'ll show you everything..."
She spoke with a lascivious tone which made Dan gulp a mouthful of saliva as he suppressed his bubbling desires. However, he couldn\'t suppress his body\'s natural reaction as a tent formed on his lower body. Natalie noticed his reaction but disregarded it for the moment.
"Then, how much did you pay for the sake of that Exclusive Rights?" Natalie asked in curiosity, and Dan stared at her for a moment before saying in a casual tone, "It\'s just a small portion, you don\'t really need to know, but since you\'re that curious, let\'s just say that I paid fifty thousand gold coins for the Exclusive Rights for your pictures..."
"Eh? Fifty thousand gold coins?" A queer cry came from Natalie\'s mouth, as someone that recently experienced hell inside the slums community, Natalie valued money more than her peers. And after hearing that Dan sacrificed fifty thousand gold coins for mere pictures of her body, she became angry at those despicable voyeurs from the Goddess Appreciation Club.
"How dare they extort fifty thousand gold coins from you...Dear, you must tell me their headquarters and I\'ll demolish them with my own hands..." A cold air enveloped Natalie\'s body and a hint of killing intent wafted out from her body.
Dan\'s figure shivered, he didn\'t expect that Natalie could display such ferocity.
"You do not need to do that really. Since they\'re not doing anything other than take some pictures, let\'s just let them go..." Dan shook his head and expressed his thoughts, Natalie stared blankly at him for a moment before replying, "Sure, if that\'s what you like, however, if I ever find out that my pictures are still circulating in the market, I\'ll definitely track them down..." Natalie said these words casually but Dan could feel a shiver down his spine.
\'Goddamned it, I\'m sorry Comrade, but you should never come to this place ever again or else if my wife discovered your presence, you will definitely die...\' Dan thought to himself and decided that he would warn Michael about his impending doom if he ever infiltrated the Fragrant Peak Pavilion again.
Since their discussion has concluded, Natalie relaxed and took the jadeslips for safekeeping. Dan wryly smiled but didn\'t protest, after all, he had his fill of her body, why should he care about some pictures? Smiling to himself, he pulled Natalie closer and embraced her in his chest.
Natalie didn\'t protest, but she felt a hard and dull object hitting her abdomen. Realizing its identity, Natalie turned speechless while Dan suffused a pleading expression and urged her.
"This will be the last, okay? It\'s about time that Juliet wakes up..." Dan nodded his head and Natalie lifted both of her arms and arranged her head in a bun before diving under the sheets. A guttural moan escaped from Dan\'s throat, but he soon adjusted to the pleasure and placed both of his arms under his head.
"This is bliss..." Dan murmured and enjoyed the pleasure that assaulted his body.
Several minutes later, a sweaty Natalie emerged under the sheets. Her expression looked flushed and Dan hurriedly took a spare fabric from the side and wiped the edges of her lips. Witnessing her actions, Dan shook his head and said,
"Little wife, you just committed a great crime of mass genocide..." Dan suffused a disappointed expression and Natalie fiercely glared at him and silenced him down. Dan awkwardly scratched his head and the two lifted their bodies.
Dan took Natalie\'s robe and dressed her up despite the latter\'s protest. In return, Natalie dressed him up and the two finally exited their room after an intense and passionate session that forfeited their sleep.
The two separated with Natalie moving towards Juliet\'s room while Dan went towards the kitchen to prepare their breakfast. But as soon as he stepped inside the kitchen. A volley of fragrances struck his nose and Dan couldn\'t help but exclaim, "Who is cooking these fantastic dishes? The smell alone is comparable to the dishes that I can make when I\'m serious..."
"Oh, young master, you\'re already awake?" Grace\'s familiar voice echoed amidst the crackling noises of oil. Dan stepped inside the kitchen and witnessed Grace\'s prowess in cooking as he curiously asked, "Grace, just when did you learn how to cook?"
Dan could see that Grace\'s movements looked fluid and without waste. Such skill in cooking could only be achieved with years of practice and Grace was someone that didn\'t look like she had the time nor money to practice her culinary skills.
"When did I learn how to cook? Well, that\'s because the prices of ready to eat foods are too high back there at Kalur, so to save money, I had no other choice but to cook for myself..." Grace lightly laughed as she explained, her slender arms continuously flipped the fried rice inside the wok and in each swing that she made, the rice would perfectly mix with the eggs and other dry and wet ingredients inside.
Before Dan could even catch his breath, Grace completed her work and plated everything beautifully that Dan couldn\'t believe what he just witnessed.
"Surprised?" Grace lifted a cheeky smile.
"You..." Dan stretched his arm and stretched her cheeks, "Why did you hide the fact that you know how to cook from me?" Dan mumbled in indignance, if Grace told him that she knew how to cook, then Dan wouldn\'t spend so much time in cooking and just let her do the chore.
Grace\'s laughter echoed throughout the entire dining room as she retaliated and pinched Dan\'s cheeks on her own. The two of them enjoyed each other\'s company with Dan telling her some stories that he remembered back in his previous life.
"The two of you are really enjoying yourselves..." Natalie\'s voice suddenly interrupted them from the side and an epiphany struck Grace\'s mind as she leaped back like a frightened rabbit. With a flushed expression, she calmed herself down and sat in the opposite direction of Dan.
Juliet stood beside Natalie and she went towards Grace\'s side and said, "Elder Sis, your face looks red, are you sick?" Her innocent and adorable voice disrupted the silence and Grace hurriedly waved her hands off and denied Juliet\'s claim.
"Hey, Juliet, you should not disturb Elder Sis, sit there and calm down..." Natalie felt Grace\'s apprehension and she immediately warded Juliet whose excitement, deflated upon hearing her mother\'s scolding. Nevertheless, she obliged and sat on her chair like an obedient child. Glancing at her beloved Papa, a smile lifted on her lips.
Dan noticed Juliet\'s actions and couldn\'t help but revel in her cuteness. Right now, she could feel that Juliet was attempting to attract his attention and earn some praise from him for being an obedient girl. Natalie also noticed this and nudged Dan\'s arm as the latter smiled and said, "Little Juliet is becoming a really obedient girl as time passes by, Papa will give you a reward if you continue that so remember to listen to your Mama, okay?"
"Uhmm! Juliet will be obedient!" Juliet sweetly smiled and furiously nodded her head.
Meanwhile, Grace looked fidgety and didn\'t dare to stare at Dan and Natalie\'s figures. Dan knitted his eyebrows, "Did I do something wrong to earn her ire? Why does she look uncomfortable around us?" Natalie stared blankly at Grace for a moment before a knowing smile lifted on her lips. Moving closer to Dan\'s ears, she whispered.
"Dear, when we came out of the room earlier, I realized that the Sound Isolating Formation of our room was disabled and since Grace\'s room is right beside us, she may have heard everything that happened last night..."
"Nandato?!" Dan transformed into a weab and exclaimed in his seat. Natalie revealed a wry smile and sent her signals of apologies towards Grace\'s direction. However, the latter didn\'t even receive it as she kept her eyes away from Dan and Natalie\'s line of sight.
In mere several breaths of time, the atmosphere inside the dining room turned awkward.
