215 Forsaken Labyrinth Conquest 8/69; Warm Baths

[Day 165]

Today in the morning I was woken by Nixephine, who was gently caressing my head with her fingers, she was giving me an enamored look, and the moment she noticed my eyes opening, she gave me a gentle smile, as her four golden eyes shined with a gleam of happiness.

"Master, good morning~ Do you like to sleep over my belly so much? Is it comfy?"

"Good morning, Nixephine… Yeah, it is very comfy… Your body exudes a very welcoming warmness, and it smells like exotic flowers perfume, it is very soothing"

Over my praises, Nixephine released a small blush over her brown-skinned and flawless face.

"A-Ah… I-I see I'm very glad Master is comfy over my body, it makes me very happy in fact…"

"I would sleep here for the entire day if I could… Anyways, do you want to take a bath?"

When I asked Nixephine if she wanted to take a bath, she gave a small jump and with excitement she said;

"Yes, Master! Your warm baths are very nice for my skin…!"

"Very well then…"

As I started to generate rivers of floating water around Nixephine, I slowly warmed it using [Heat Manipulation], the warm rivers of clean and pure water coiled around the giant Half-Scorpion Empress as she slowly danced around, using her six humanoid arms, she washed her armpits, chest, belly, back and scorpion half, including her big claws, legs, and even her sting.

I gave her a big soap that I created for my Giant family members like Nesiphae, Amiphossia, and Valentia, she liked the aromatic scents of the different flowers that it was made of as she gently strokes the soap over her nude and voluptuous body. Bubbles and foam quickly began to form on her body as I used my manipulation of the warm water to wash her armpits, belly, and chest with more care.

When her entire upper body was properly washed, I also helped wash her lower dark-colored scorpion half, each of her massive claws was properly washed with the foamy soap and the warm water, generating plenty of steam, filling most of the area we were in. Afterward, it came her eight scorpion legs, one by one, these were thinner than her claws of course, so it was easier to wash.

When they were all finely washed, it came her lower part, with was her abdomen connecting each of Nixephine's small scorpion legs, it was an intricate part of her body but I managed just fine. When it came to her butt, she was a little bit surprised at first but I washed her very well, without caring at all. She may have thought that I would have been disgusted by washing her lower "monster" half, but I accepted her entire body the moment I bedded her, so I was glad to help her.

When the bath was finished, Nixephine released a relieved sigh as she began to stretch her arms and legs, it seems that my baths are not only for washing but it also helps her release tension on her massive muscles, releasing a lot of steam from her body, she slowly equipped back her exotic gold accessories, alongside the piercings on her breasts. She didn't seem to hate them and instead liked to wear all of them.

"Oh? If it hurts? Not really, I've always wore these since I received a name and evolved in the Dungeon, I kind of like them… It makes me more beautiful; don't you think~?"

"Indeed, I really like the accessories, they go well with your exotic and beautiful, I may forge you a new set in the future"

"Fufufu… I'm glad Master likes my body~ Oh? Master can forge~? Is there something that you can't do? Impressive"

"Yeah, this whole set that I am wearing was forged by me, take a look"

As Nixephine approached my body, she glanced intensively at me with her four golden eyes, quickly discovering the properties of my equipment with her amazing sight.

"I-Impressive! That equipment is connected to your soul, Master? Such craftsmanship~! Equipment that can connect to the wearer soul and evolve with them are incredibly rare, to think that you can craft an entire set!"

"Oh, really?"

Nixephine explained to me a lot about equipment and the different types that exist, with the little memories of her past, she had accumulated a lot of knowledge. She talked about the equipment that could connect to the wearer soul, and which were mostly the "Relic of the Dungeon", special equipment that can only be obtained after clearing a Demi-God Class or above Dungeon. Equipment crafted with such properties was something incredibly rare, and some people even called it impossible, as they believed that only gods could give such properties to equipment.

When Nixephine had dried her body, we decided to join in with the rest of my family, I could see some meters away that they were cooking, sparring and chatting around, there was also Nesiphae who was looking over the "lucky" Nixephine with a bit of jealously, she perhaps also wants to be bathed by me…

When Nixephine casually joined in with the cooking team to help out, Nesiphae ignored her as she rushed towards me.

"Master, I also want to be bathed!"

"H-Hm?! Nesiphae, but you bathed in the morning with the rest of the girls, right?"

"A-Ah! Y-Yeah…"

"Well, maybe I can give you a nice bath tonight if you behave and don't be jealous over Nixephine receiving a bath"

"Eeeh…? O-Okay, I will be nice, I promise!"

Even after having a child with me and being an "adult" Lamia, Nesiphae still behaves like a spoiled child sometimes, I think I've been spoiling my wives as well… Well, I can't really resist her cute smile.

"What a good Lamia, now let's go prepare something for breakfast before we descend into the lower floors, there is a lot to do~!"

"Oh, alright! I will prepare you something delicious, Master~!"

While Nesiphae joined in with Nixephine as if nothing had happened and began to grill the plenty of leftover Wyvern meat, I glanced at those who were sparring. It was Ryo and Valentia, who had recently become rivals and were testing each other endurance and strength.

Ryo was surprisingly resilient over Valentia's powerful blows, even when she reinforced them with her [Dominating Aura], he was able to take on her sister massive punches with his four arms masterfully, while twisting his body and jumping to rain Valentia in a barrage of punches as well.

Ryo's aura was releasing a powerful and thick pressure, similar to Valentia, but instead of being dominating it was just very aggressive, probably showing his fighting spirit and the power of his God's Blessings. For a moment as both of my children fought, Ryo's thick red aura clashed with Valentia's wide and brown colored aura, creating an explosion of energies, generating strong winds and shockwaves. Of course, even after all the thunderous sounds, my wives pay no attention as they kept doing their morning activities, they were already used to the children being overly noisy when sparring.

There was Amiphossia on the side admiring the fight while using the System Direct Message Function to chat with Evan, this reminded me of Earth's chat programs in computers… She was happily chatting with him without stopping, and Evan was also happy to receive messages from his cute Giant Lamia girlfriend while he trained and worked back in the Kingdom, it was quite cute, to be honest… As long as he doesn't touch her!

[Amiphossia and Evan Chat Log]

[Amiphossia: Hi Evan, how are youuuu?]

[Evan is typing…]

[Evan: Hi Amiphossia, I'm good, things have gone quite fine in here, I have been exploring around the Vast Plains with my team, how about you?]

[Amiphossia: I'm very good, yesterday we just beat the crap out of a giant Sand Wyvern with my siblings! It as pretty tasty, aaah the blood was nice as well, very refreshing!]

[Evan is typing…]

[Evan: Ooh, I see… That's quite impressive, I wonder if I can beat a Wyvern? I haven't tasted Wyvern meat either, is it tender or hard?]

[Amiphossia: It's very tender and juicy! It even melts inside of your mouth~! Aaah, I want to eat more, mother is currently grilling some more, I will make sure to save you some on my Item Box]

[Evan is typing…]

[Evan: Hm, it would be nice to taste some, thanks Amiphossia. By the way, how are your siblings? Oh, and your mom?]

[Amiphossia: Everyone is fine in here; the Dungeon is a walk in the park~ Little Vudia and Ailine are enjoying the fights a lot, the two cute girls are growing very fast… It feels like at any moment they will outgrow me! Even when I am the big sister of everyone…]

[Evan is typing…]

[Evan: Hahaha! Take it easy, you're very strong, Amiphossia, I know that you won't let them surpass you without doing your best. We can train some more together or even go in an exploration when you're done with the Dungeon. What do you think?]

[Amiphossia: Aaahh~! Really? We can go on an adventure together? Gladly! I will make sure to get strong so I can protect your little body~! Hehehe, I miss youu~]

[Evan is typing…]

[Evan: I miss you too, Amiphossia. I gotta go, we can chat, later on, have fun with your family]

[Amiphossia: Alright, see ya~! P-Please take care, you are very delicate and little]

[Evan is typing…]

[Evan: H-Hey, I am not that little, you are just very big, but that's how I like you, take care]

[Amiphossia: Hehehe… I also like you even if you are little and delicate]

[Evan: I-I'm not little…! Sigh… Alright, everyone is calling me to get moving, once again, have fun with your family. I-I… Love… You…]

[Amiphossia: Haaah~ Evan you are so cute! I love you too!]

Suddenly Amiphossia stopped looking over the System Window and closed it while waving her hand. Afterward, she went to talk with Aarae, Vudia, and Ailine, who ere together practicing spells and sharing what they know.

When she joined in my four children began to practice magic and combine the elements, experimenting with new spells. Vudia was trying her Thunder Magic but was also trying to learn Water Magic from Aarae and Fire from Ailine, while Amiphossia was trying to learn some of the more complicated spells like Ocean Magic, which in actuality is an advanced or "evolved" form from Water Magic.

For other elements it was the same, there was Tundra Magic for Ice, Blaze Magic for Fire, Thunderstorm Magic for Thunder, Storm Magic for Wind, Gaia Magic for Earth, and so on. Even I haven't learned some of those advanced spells and just combined the lesser elements together to form strong spells. I wondered if I could learn those spells in the "conventional way" that my children use, by just observing it, understanding it, and trying it… Maybe its related to their [Magic Talent] skill included on my Lineage when I fused skills? Then I should be able to do the same thing as well…

When I was about to join with my children to learn some of their spells, my wives called for breakfast as everyone ran towards the delicious and prepared food, I was greeted by everyone and my children who didn't notice me jumped over me, everyone except Valentia and Ryo, who were the only ones who weren't excessively affectionate with me.

After breakfast we will finally break through the Sand Wyvern floor, I wonder what types of monsters await us on the lower floors, it will be all new as we only managed to get in here on our last exploration.
