Chapter 85: Bet
After the royal bath, Alex accompanied Stella back to her room.
He put her back on the bed, where Stella promptly closed her eyes.
After a bath, it seemed pretty normal to rest. However, Stella was more than ever eager to sleep on her bed. Her sister, Schnee, had been too rough with her as if she had been comparing her body with her curves.
The sounds these two made still rang out in Alex's head.
Stella's rough breathing didn't help him erase those kitty and winged girl voices as well…
"It's getting late, so I guess we are done for today," Alex said while giving a head pat to his lovely winged girl.
As he stared at Stella's face, which exuded too much comfort and happiness, Alex suddenly felt an urge to give her a kiss.
He leaned down and pressed his lips on her white forehead.
Feeling the kiss, Stella's eyes opened, "Good night."
"You wouldn't say it without me kissing you, would you?" Alex smirked, "Have you been waiting for it?"
Stella didn't reply. Instead, she curled up and went asleep. With such a peculiar lady acting that childish, Alex could only laugh out loud and bid farewell.
He left the room thinking how adorable the lazy girls could get. But then, Alex remembered how much work Stella required. Thus, he could only come to a conclusion that nothing was free in this world!
Stella was and always would be a pretty demanding woman.
Alex stood before Schnee's room.
After the bath and time with Stella, his head had already cooled off. He analyzed what had happened during the bath from a different view.
His conclusion? Schnee lost their bet!
He didn't exactly know the reason, but Schnee must have taken a liking to him.
Her reactions had told him so. After all, before him, Alex could see a peculiar bashfulness…
He was the same, but that was normal for a young man such as him. He had also been surrounded by three women of equal beauty.
But Schnee was still the most unique case. She acted like herself before Sara and Stella, never forgetting to throw little teases to see their reactions. She would either use Alex to tease them or throw them before saying something cute to him.
No matter what Schnee said to her sisters, she always would show a new side to Alex immediately after.
People changed. Their heart could switch slowly or rapidly, regardless of the reason.
Knock! Knock!
Alex knocked on Schnee's doors. He waited patiently for her.
Today, Schnee answered him in less than ten seconds. As the doors opened, Schnee revealed herself in the clothes that Alex had bought for her.
She drew all Alex's attention. Her beauty compelled him to look at her.
"How do I look? Since you bought them for me, your opinion is the most valuable," Schnee said with a slightly erotic voice.
She then swirled before him, showing all her body could offer.
Schnee donned herself in two-part pajama.
The bottom part was relatively short, exposing too much of Schnee's ass to Alex. Her thighs were nearly in an entire display, and if Schnee bent her body to pick up something, Alex would be able to slide his eyes straight to the main dish.
Her top part protected more of Schnee's privacy. But if Alex were the one to pick up something from the ground, then upon lifting his face, he would be able to see Schnee's under boobs in a full display.
That would undoubtedly turn him on.
Alex picked up a few words in the spur of the moment, "Those are called sexy pajamas, but you make them truly sexy."
"Not bad," Schnee replied with a finger on her lips.
She then spun around, inviting Alex in with her curves. Led by a nose, Alex followed her in. Alex couldn't take his eyes off her beauty in this peculiar situation.
She was just too different right now.
It was a change Alex didn't expect.
"Let's take a seat on my bed," Schnee grinned before jumping onto her bed.
She took yet another sexy pose that pulled Alex in. He took a seat next to her, then finally looked around her room.
Of course, that was a futile attempt.
"You want to know my abilities, don't you?" Schnee said while stretching on the bed. She then lifted her hands, summoning a peculiar box, "Then don't look around this room. Look just at me. I also couldn't bother decorating it to my liking."
Alex nodded.
He remembered a few similarities between Stella and Sara's rooms. Other than some significant differences, such as the emperor's bed or make-up corner, these girls' rooms were the same.
Those sisters had much more important stuff on their minds, and just a little of their private room was enough.
For Stella, it was the bed. For Sara, just a few books, a make-up corner, and then the rest for her daughter.
Schnee chuckled, "Most of my skills come from this box."
Alex narrowed his eyes. He wanted to see through the box with his system, but nothing popped out. It was an item of immense value, something that no player could easily get their hands on.
But Schnee casually threw it in Alex's direction, making him extend his hands clumsily.
He barely caught that box!
[Schnee's lucky box! (Epic)]
[Get a random skill of a high value!]
"This is… such a random item," Alex whispered.
Schnee laughed out loud, "I know, right? But it somehow suits me the best. I happen to have too many mood swings as if I was on a period or something. Hmm~~ That's not really an accurate comparison. I've enjoyed myself a few times…"
To hide her mistake, Schnee explained a little about her race. Her cat clan had pretty random techniques for eons. Every new generation somewhat tamed those skills, and each cat could produce skills with similar uses.
They would grow into mighty warriors that were pretty hard to deal with. The cat elders of the purest bloodline could even create magical things and lands such as Divine Cat's Mirror World.
"Is your race… divine?" Alex asked as he remembered the clue he had received from the battle spirit skill.
Schnee narrowed her eyes. For a moment, she was so focused on Alex that she reminded him of a tiger hunting for her prey.
Then, she smiled widely, "There's a connection."
"I learned about it through Battle Spirit Skill," Alex honestly replied.
Schnee nodded, "I forgot then, recalled it a moment later. Yes, that bastard used the cat clan for his own gain. But cats surely used him too." She sneered with palpable pride and happiness.
Alex smiled faintly, seeing her happy, "You really hate him."
"Don't talk about him," Schnee threw a disappointed glance, then switched position on her bed.
She now rested her head on her palm, her body stretching toward Alex, "Ask anything you want about me. For tonight, I will answer all your questions. I am in that kind of a mood.
I will kick you if you keep talking about others," Schnee genuinely said.
Alex looked into her golden eyes, then he started learning everything about her. He learned what the cat woman liked, what she did in her free time, her skills, and how powerful and nimble cat people were.
He asked her a lot of questions to satiate his curiosity.
Those questions pleased Schnee for some reason.
She then faced a question that made her silent.
"I've won our bet, right?" Alex asked.
