Chapter 19 - ’Lose’

Chapter 19: 19 - ’Lose’

Time seemed to have stopped as both Iris and King stood completely still. But the water from the shower kept flowing down, which was the clearest proof that there was nothing unusual about time at all.

King was so shocked that he couldn’t move. For a shut-in like him, seeing this scene for the first time was way too hard to deal with.

Iris still maintained her position with her back slightly turned toward King. For a few seconds, her cheeks seemed to turn slightly red, though it was unclear whether it was because of the hot water or something else.

Her ability to calm her mind was no worse than Kenji’s either. After feeling a little strange for a few seconds, she quickly calmed down as if nothing had happened.

"Why are you so fast? I thought you’d need quite a bit of time to find your way."

Her tone was so calm that it was extremely suspicious, making King freeze because it felt completely unreasonable.

Shouldn’t an ordinary woman in this situation scream and chase him out? No matter how strong Iris was, the process should at least include one more step where King got beaten up for it to make sense.

Actually, from the moment he had just entered the house, Iris had already heard his footsteps even though he had tried his best to walk as quietly as possible. It was just that she had already been preparing to take a shower, so she couldn’t stop.

It sounded completely unreasonable, but that’s how it was. Her stubborn personality wouldn’t allow her to back down just because of a weakling like King.

She had been mentally prepared just now, but when King actually saw her completely from head to toe, she still felt a little awkward for a moment.

King had already squeezed her breasts and was now seeing her take a shower, so even if she screamed or beat him up, she couldn’t erase his memory.

His luck was truly heaven-defying because Iris couldn’t kill him just because of things like this. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have the good fortune to admire Iris like this.

In other cases, anyone who stepped one foot into her house without being invited would definitely receive a ’warm welcome’ in the form of a sword qi slash powerful enough to cut a person in half.

King’s eyes kept darting around as his thoughts turned into a complete mess. Even he didn’t know what he was supposed to think about in this situation.

Seeing him stay silent for so long, Iris frowned slightly. Although the sound in the bathroom was disturbed by the running water, she could hear his heartbeat suddenly becoming abnormal.

This abnormality kept getting stronger, and with King staying silent and not moving, it wasn’t hard to tell that King was ’losing’.

Iris’s eyes lit up as if she had just found an effective path that would work no matter how many years passed. If she succeeded, then she would be the ’big boss’ from now on, while King, no matter how strong he became, would only be the ’little minion’.

"What? Am I so beautiful that you can’t even get a word out?"

Her soft laugh made King swallow a mouthful of saliva. His face grew redder and redder, and his mind became more and more confused.

What should I do now? Run? No way! Wouldn’t running mean I’m afraid of her? A reader can’t be scared away by a character from a novel this easily. Then if I don’t run... That’s not good either...

The more King thought about it, the more confused he became. He was clearly a cultivator at rank III, 6-star, yet his hands and feet were trembling like an ordinary mortal, or perhaps even worse.

Forget everything else, Iris’s body really was beautiful according to King’s tastes. She wasn’t exactly a gentle girl, but her perfect muscles were also very beautiful. Moreover, her breasts were soft, not hard like rocks... At least before she used spiritual power.

The sound of King swallowing his saliva, along with his current heartbeat, was extremely clear. Just based on these factors alone, it was enough for Iris to ’attack’ even more enthusiastically.

She suddenly turned around, her wet long hair spinning once and splashing water all the way onto King’s face.

Well, that was a critical hit. Now King could truly see her entire body.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

King let out a loud scream, immediately raising both hands to cover his eyes. He wasn’t covering them in a way that left a gap to peek through, but truly covering them completely.

He had already seen it, and it really was beautiful, but King wouldn’t allow himself to keep looking. He felt that if he continued looking, he would truly ’lose’. If he lost this way, he would never have a chance to surpass Iris again because the defeat would be too pathetic.

"Hehe, you’re really contradictory. No matter how hard you try to act, your body is still being very honest. Even though you’re covering your eyes, you still refuse to run away, and your heart is beating so fast too..."

Iris slowly walked closer to King. She spoke as she walked, but suddenly stopped halfway, making King feel that something wasn’t right.

"Are you hiding a weapon in your pants? Planning to assassinate me or something?"

Iris’s joking question made his face turn bright red. It felt hot, like he had a fever, but there was something different about it. If having a fever was only uncomfortable, King now also felt a sense of excitement mixed in.

"Do... Don’t come any closer! My weapon is very... dangerous!"

King was basically an idiot now. His head was too hot, so he couldn’t think straight and just answered with nonsense.

"Pfft hahaha... How dangerous is it?"

Something this ridiculous made Iris burst out laughing. Her thoughts had basically been proven right. Even if King became stronger than her in the future, she would still be the only winner.

"What do you know? A normal weapon can only kill people, but this weapon can create people."

Even though he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into, King was still very stubborn when he spoke. His strangely unwavering arrogance was truly hard to explain.

"Pfft, hahahaha... That’s pretty impressive, huh? Then take it out and let me see you use it?"

Iris gave a mischievous smile and grabbed both of King’s arms. With her absolute strength, King couldn’t continue covering his eyes.

"System! Knock me out right now!"

Feeling that the situation had completely gone out of control, King made his final choice. Although passing out was very embarrassing, at least it was better than continuing to ’lose’ in front of her.
