Chapter 199: Silverleaf Academy (XLVII)

“Ahh…”

Lumi leaned in even closer, and the glow of her pink eyes pulsed softly in the dim space around them.

And then—

Squelch…

Her tongue slid across his lips again, slower this time, her face drawing close until their mouths brushed.

Her soft lips pressed fully against his.

Warm… wet… and strangely soothing.

Smack…

A quiet smack.

Then again.

And again.

Her mouth pressed against his, softly at first, then deeper. He tasted sweet… and bitter. That strange bitterness. She could feel it now, slipping onto her tongue.

It was none other than poison.

It buzzed under her skin like pins and needles, but she ignored it.

“Slick, smack♡, slurp…”

She sucked at his bottom lip, gently, like it was candy. Then let it go with a wet pop before moving in again.

Her tongue flicked out, sneaking past his lips.

Their mouths moved together, back and forth, messy and slow.

“Mwah, slurp, mmn…♡”

He leaned back slightly, but she followed, not letting up. One hand slid behind his neck, pulling him close.

Their foreheads bumped, their noses brushed, and her mouth opened wider.

“Shlick, slup.”

Their lips parted, then locked again.

“Hah…”

He was gasping now—soft little breaths in between kisses—but Lumi kept going. Her lips moved faster, deeper, almost desperate.

But still gentle.

Like she was drinking him in.

And in a way… she was.

She could feel the poison now, spreading in her blood. Cold at first, then hot. Like fire in her veins. It hurt… but she didn’t stop.

Instead, she only kissed him harder.

“Mmhf, shlick, mwah♡.”

Their mouths moved together, slow and heavy.

Wet sounds filled the space, along with their breathing: soft moans, the sound of skin brushing, and the sound of their lips breaking apart only to crash back again.

She sucked on his tongue, just a little, before pulling back. A thin string of spit connected their mouths. Her lips were red. Glossy.

Her chest rose and fell.

But she wasn’t done; she wanted to taste his lips more, and even if the poison had been drawn out, she still would like more.

Kiss.

Kiss.

Kiss.

And still, the poison flowed inside her.

She dove right back in, lips parting with his, locking again like two puzzle pieces.

“Mmmfh… slrp… mwahh…♡~”

Her kisses grew wetter, deeper.

Each movement of her mouth pressed harder than the last, like she wanted to melt right into him. Her tongue slid in slowly, then curled gently around his.

“Slick… shlick… slrp…~”

She moaned quietly into his mouth.

The sound was low and breathy, like a whisper caught in a dream.

Her hand slid into his hair, fingers curling tight, pulling him even closer. Their faces mashed together, with almost no space left.

“Haah—mhm!”

He gasped again, and she used the moment to deepen the kiss.

“Mwahh… slrp… slrrrch…”

She sucked on his lower lip.

Gently at first, and then harder.

Schlup!

It popped free from her mouth, red and slick.

“Haagh… aah… Master…~, I need to taste you moree~”

Lumi was panting now, her eyelids curling up like crescent moons.

Her breath trembled against his cheek.

“Smooch, shhlrp, mmfh!”

She licked into his mouth, slow and teasing.

Her hips shifted. Her nose bumped his again. He was clinging to her now, weak under her kiss, and she liked it.

More kisses.

More suction.

More tongue.

“Squelch, chuu♡! Slrp, slick, smack, mwah!~♡”

Wet, needy sounds filled the air like a song only they could hear.

She broke the kiss just long enough to whisper:

“Masterrr~, you taste… so warm…”

Then she licked his lips and kissed him again.

“Mwahh… smooch… schlk…”

Her lips didn’t stop.

Well, that was until the poison had finally been cleared out of Aestrea’s body.

“Aghh…”

Pressing his hands weakly against her shoulders, Aestrea finally managed to pull back.

Their lips parted with a soft pop, leaving behind a thin, glistening bridge of spit stretched between them, swaying gently in the warm air.

Shlick…

The string snapped and fell across his chin.

“Haah… Lumi… t-that’s enough…”

He was gasping, his chest rising and falling quickly, mouth open, lips wet and swollen. His eyes were hazy, a little lost, blinking slowly.

Lumi just stared at him.

Her own lips were red and shiny, her breath heavy and uneven. The corners of her mouth were slick with saliva.

A bit of it ran down her chin, but she didn’t bother to wipe it.

Her eyes glowed faintly, but the shimmer was shaky now.

“The poison… It’s already gone from my body. You can stop kissing me now.” Aestrea softly said, closing his eyes for a second.

A silver glow enveloped his body for a moment as he adjusted his mana output back to five, since the poison had been consumed by Lumi.

‘…Now that she had absorbed the poison… maybe she could use it against others? That would be an incredibly great weapon…’ Aestrea thought inwardly.

But just as he relaxed, Lumi’s eyes suddenly flared brighter.

Without warning, her long, slimy snake tongue flicked out slowly and wet, sliding up to lick the soft skin at the side of his neck.

Slplick… slrrrp…

He jerked back with a sharp breath.

“Lumi?”

He turned fully to look at her, and his eyes widened.

She wasn’t the same anymore.

Her skin was slick and shiny, and tiny beads of sweat, like drops of liquid glass, trickled down her smooth arms and neck.

The clothes she’d been wearing weren’t there anymore. Instead, her slimy body seemed to have pulled them in, absorbing the fabric like water.

What was left showed every proud curve of her body, glistening and soft.

Her breath came out heavy, warm against his neck.

“Master…” she purred seductively.

Her long tongue slid out again, wet and slow, licking the shell of his ear.

Slrrrp… schlup…

She pressed her slimy body against him, the heat of her skin burning right through his shirt.

Squelch… squish…

“I need you~” she whispered, her voice a sweet, dangerous song that made his skin tingle.

Her eyes burned brighter still, almost hypnotic.

Aestrea frowned deeply.

He tried to make her transform back into a scythe, but unfortunately, he couldn’t. And now, he was stuck with a lust-driven snake Lumi.

Then, he simply decided to ask directly.

“Lumi,” he said softly, stepping back just a little to look at her fully. “Could it be… that since you’re in your snake form… you’re in some kind of… mating season?”

She blinked, then licked her lips, tongue flicking wetly before a slow smile spread across her shiny face.

“Yes,” she whispered, her voice like honey, “I think… I am.”

Her body pressed against him again, slick and warm.

“It makes me… crave you more,” she purred, eyes glowing brighter, almost wild now.

“I really neeeeeed you right now~”

His frown only deepened at his words.

Honestly, kissing Lumi was already pushing him far beyond his limits. He only let her do it because of the poison inside him.

Not sure what else to do, he closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath before speaking.

“…Later,” he muttered quietly.

“Later?” Lumi repeated his words.

“After the dungeon, I’ll do whatever you want, so just wait until then.”

The moment Lumi heard that, her glowing pink eyes sparkled brighter.

Before he could say anything else, she leaned in quickly and pecked him on the lips, tasting him once more like she wanted to remember the flavor.

And then…

Puff!

She transformed back into a scythe, but this time, the scythe had a pink shade over it, probably meaning that Lumi was still in her snake form.

And from the way she looked, she probably wasn’t going to stay calm until he gave in and actually mated with her.

“Fuuu…”

Aestrea let out a deep sigh.

“I almost forgot about Lumi’s snake form… that form makes her so… lustful.” He rubbed his forehead, remembering how she’d kissed him when she was like that.

But he shook his head, pushing those thoughts away.

“I need to find James and the others. I told them to stay put, but who knows if they listened.”

Silver mana wrapped around his body, and without wasting time, he shot off toward the place where he had left them.

It didn’t take long to find them and, to his surprise, they were all still there.

“Hah… that makes things easier,” Aestrea said, a small smile breaking through his tired face.

“Aestrea~! You’re finally back!” Mia didn’t waste a second before grabbing onto his right arm. Almost immediately, Maria did the same.

“Huh?”

Aestrea was confused.

Sure, Mia always clung to him, and that was normal. But Maria? She was usually shy about showing affection in front of others, even if they were close.

And another thing was, the jealous Mia wasn’t looking a little bit jealous of seeing Maria also clinging to him.

And than’s then, he heard a faint click of tongues.

Both Derek and James looked at him with a sly and wry look.

It didn’t take long for Aestrea to realize what was going on — the girls had teamed up to get him.

“…..Damn it.”

He muttered to himself.

“Well, I guess I’ll just fucking go with the flow. Fuck my future self.”

Maria and Mia exchanged skeptical gazes at his remark.

But his words were clear to himself.

He would stop denying those girls and simply accept them, and if there was trouble in the future because of that…

Well…

Let’s just say that the future him will deal with it.
