Chapter 1241: The Right Way to Wake the Sleeping Beauty

No matter what, Erin was finally found. However, her condition looked terrible and the group couldn’t possibly leave her to her own demise. Rhode was confident that his younger sister had better solutions than him as the first Void Dragon. According to his guesses, even though the best way was to bring Erin back to the Void Territory and hand her over to his younger sister’s care, it was a pity that the tunnel exit had been collapsed by Mini Bubble Gum. Even if it wasn’t, the unconscious Erin would still be impacted by the domineering presence of Chaos outside, worsening her condition. After some consideration, Rhode stopped speaking to Cassidy and turned to the two dragon young ladies who stood quietly by the side.

“I suppose you understand the situation now. This young lady is in bad shape. I think we should leave this place first. And after we resolve this trouble, we will discuss the issue with you. What do both of you think?”

The two young ladies exchanged looks and one of them nodded in response.

“Alright, I understand, Your Majesty the Void Dragon. The current situation indeed doesn’t seem right. But our responsibility will never change... So, please come with me.”

Under her lead, Rhode’s group entered the stone door and were teleported to another place. According to the young lady, this place served as a shelter and resting point. Even though the rooms were simple and there was nothing else apart from hardboard beds made of stone and crude tables and chairs, it was still better than spending their time suffering in the dark, chilly prison. Rhode lay Erin down on the bed of one of the rooms. After hastening on their journey without rest, the group was exhausted. Since they couldn’t offer any help in this situation, they dispersed and found themselves a room to rest. Rhode was the only one left with Erin. He knitted his brows and considered the next steps.

Before he was left alone with Erin, he reconfirmed with Cassidy. He felt like the situation was too strange. Besides, based on Cassidy’s usual attitude toward him, it wasn’t likely that she would passionately come up with such ‘opportunities’ for him. And indeed, under Rhode’s ‘intimidation’, Cassidy admitted that she was merely teasing him. As a matter of fact, she had no idea as to what exactly had to be done to cure Erin. She had never experienced anything similar, so how was it possible for her to know any secrets?

“B-But my theory isn’t wrong, Your Majesty. You will have to establish a connection with Her Highness Erin!”

After speaking her mind, Cassidy slipped away like the silent wind as though she were afraid that Rhode would devour her in a single bite. Looking at her reaction, Rhode let out a helpless sigh. It seemed like even Cassidy didn’t have a trick up her sleeve. She was one of the deity wardens who participated in the war against Chaos, after all. In terms of experience in this aspect, she was still trustworthy.

In other words... It would work as long as dragon soul powers are injected into Erin’s body and a connection is established?

Gazing at the unconscious Erin, Rhode knitted his brows and thought. Then, he extended his arm and waved in the air. Shortly after, along with this action, a dragon-shaped aura appeared in midair. Rhode lay his arm down and the dragon-shaped aura entered Erin’s body silently...

Boom!

But at the next moment, the dragon-shaped aura was rejected by her, erupting in a loud explosion before scattering in spots of light dust and disappearing in midair. At the same time, a system prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Target cannot be turned into a dependent. Usage fail]

I knew it.

Rhode shrugged at the sight of the system prompt. He thought he could repeat what he did with Nell—use his identity as the Void Dragon and turn Erin into his dependent, which would establish a connection between them. But it was a pity that it was impossible. Erin was also of the dragon race and born a dependent of darkness. No matter how capable Rhode was, he couldn’t possibly poach her to his side.

So what should I do then? Should I inject my dragon soul powers directly into Erin?

At this thought, Rhode stretched his arm out again. This time, his hand emanated an illusory and bright radiance. He lifted his hand and the radiance shot straight at Erin, enfolding her entirety in the blink of an eye. However, the moment the radiance wrapped around her body, Erin let out a painful shriek. Her body that lay flatly on the bed curled up in agony. Rhode sulked and withdrew the radiance hurriedly.

This doesn’t work either...

As a holder of dragon soul powers, it went without saying that Rhode felt a counteractive force when he attempted to inject the dragon soul powers into her body. Even though that counteractive force felt weak and could be shattered if he were to use more power, he knew it wouldn’t work after witnessing Erin’s painful state. He realized the force that resisted him was also a form of dragon soul power. In this case, it was simple to understand. The force came from Erin. If Rhode were to shatter it, Erin would also be done for.

Must I inject everything into her at once?

Rhode puckered his brows and recalled. He had to admit that even though Cassidy obviously tricked him, what she said wasn’t wrong—Anne was neither his dependent nor connected to him via the system. This meant that what Cassidy said was meaningful to a certain extent. Could it be that he had to do it like what Cassidy suggested? Would it work?

If Rhode were any other man, perhaps he would have already laid hands on this defenseless and beautiful young lady laying before him. But it was a pity that Rhode wasn’t aroused as he looked at the sleeping young lady. It wasn’t that he didn’t have any sexual attraction to her, but he simply wasn’t interested in such one-sided behavior instead. The reason why he was addicted to ‘intimate interactions’ was because he could see how the other party reacted in his hands and also revealed various expressions. That was what excited him. And now, even though Erin was laying before him defenselessly, he didn’t come up with any perverted ideas.

If I were to do it, I would rather grab a magazine and do it myself at the corner of the room since there’s no difference.

Moreover, even though Erin was indeed beautiful, since when did he have any ugly women around him?

Start from the most basic then.

At this thought, Rhode sauntered toward Erin, stooping over and gazing at her. He gently caressed her soft, mellow cheek. He had to admit that although Mini Bubble Gum’s spiritual spells weren’t able to awake Erin, they cleanly cleansed her entire body. And now, Erin looked as though she just came out of the shower—snowy and delicate.

Not too bad.

The corners of Rhode’s mouth perked up. Then, he pressed his lips against hers.

“...”

Facing his kiss, Erin couldn’t refuse at all. Rhode extended his tongue, pried open her clenched teeth, and wrapped around her savory tongue. Even though he effortlessly stole the moon princess’s first kiss, he wasn’t excited in any way. On the contrary, he put up a focused look on his face. While he held his lips against hers, he used this channel to transfer his dragon soul powers bit by bit.

All in all, it felt more like CPR for him...

“Hmm...”

At that moment, Rhode’s ‘rescue’ finally took effect. As Erin let out a soft groan, she stretched out her arms and wrapped around his neck, responding to his kiss. Upon realizing her reaction, Rhode was delighted. He separated himself from her and gazed at her.

“Erin, wake up! Erin!”

“Hmm...”

Upon hearing his calling, Erin let out another groan, but didn’t open her eyes. Not only that, but she also loosened her arms around his neck as though she were powerless.

Must I really do it?

Just a few moments ago, Rhode felt like he had indeed established a spiritual connection with Erin. But the instant he separated himself from her, the spiritual connection also disconnected.

Seems like it won’t work. I don’t have any other way. Looks like I can only give it a shot.

At this thought, Rhode lowered his head without any hesitation and kissed Erin’s soft lips.

“Hmm... Mmm...”

Upon feeling his kiss, Erin leaned toward the man above her and coiled her arms around him tightly. The sound of kisses and gasps echoed in the quiet room. Her tender, savory tongue emerging from between her slightly-opened lips intertwined with Rhode’s tongue and demanded insatiably. Rhode responded to her desires and reached his hands out to fondle her body gently.

Seems like I will need to take it further.

Rhode thought he could awake Erin simply through kissing. Even if she couldn’t recover fully, at least she would regain her consciousness. But now, it seemed really inefficient. Both of them had been kissing for almost 10 minutes and even Rhode felt a little exhausted. On the other hand, Erin continued tirelessly. As the dragon soul powers entered her body, she became even more aggressive.

We’re not even looking to break the Guinness World Records. We won’t have any progress even if we continue to kiss for two days.

At this thought, Rhode changed his strategy immediately. He extended his arm and caressed the young lady’s body, at the same time stripping off her clothes. Even though it didn’t seem any different from ordinary fondling, as a matter of fact Rhode had coalesced his spiritual powers on his palms gradually.

“Haa... Haa...”

Upon sensing his caress, Erin let out deep gasps. She lay weakly in his arms, her hands shrinking back to her chest as though instinctively protecting herself and at the same time, luring him to take further action...

This is getting fun.

Gazing at Erin who kept her eyes closed and revealed a flushed, coquettish expression, Rhode finally smiled. If Erin continued to sleep like a corpse, he would definitely not be aroused and even if he did, the enjoyment was just a matter of routine. But now, Erin reacted instinctively even in her sleep like he were teasing a sleepy kitten. She looked really adorable to him and made him have the intention to continue teasing her. He slid his hand down her smooth body and extended his fingers.

“Ugh...!”

Erin tensed up instantly to the stimulating touch. Even though she was unconscious, her body began to instinctively experience and respond to his caress. The young lady twisted her body uncontrollably as Rhode felt the slippery wetness on his hand. He stooped over, held her arms down, and thrust his hips forward. Then... They merged as one.

“Ah...!”

A loud scream sounded from the room. But thereafter, the sound of physical collision and continuous gasps became the main melody...
