Chapter 158: Is It Because I'm Not Pretty Enough...?
Chapter 158: Is It Because I'm Not Pretty Enough...?
"Mhmu! Mhmu!"
Emu started to bob around on top of his head while its golden marbles began to shine an intense sheen.
It was obviously as excited as it could be after hearing such an amazing notion from its companion!
"Haha~"
Azmond chortled a little louder when he saw the jubilant attitude of his little Emu. He had become more than just a little fond of this utterly bubbly slime. He even began to see a little resemblance to Boundless in the little black and gold slime's personality.
...
Speaking of the busty brown-haired goddess in question
|Azmond! It took you long enough to end your cultivation session! Even with my awesomeness, it still took you over 3 months to breakthrough and expand your Qi Cyclones! Don't you think that is a little too slow considering my superior assistance?!?|
Her blatant narcissism leaked into his ears as his slime began to twitch.
'This girl is always so' He began inside his thoughts.
'-so much.' He couldn't even formulate what he was trying to convey in words.
"..."
All that left his mouth was a tired sigh before he went over to the cocky beauty and gave her a light karate chop to the top of the head.
**Pop**
|Oww! You b-big meanie! What was that for?!?| She instantly yelped before backing away from the big, bad wolf!
**Boing!** **Jiggle!**
Her unholy curves jumped away with her as the puffed-up cheeks she made left a vast contrast with those slopes she possessed
Azmond was a little taken aback by his own actions
He didn't remember giving his body the commands to go and slap her
But
He was sure as hell glad he did!
She deserved a little sense knocked into her!
He gave himself a small pat on the back inside his mind before he took on a serious expression. His intense gaze locked eyes with the still pouting Boundless, and his earnest words followed not long after.
"I tripped." He said with a straight face.
|You tripped?|
"Yes. I tripped."
|...|
|I see. Then all is good!| She bubbled with a large, radiant smile on her silly face!
She believed it!
There must not be much going on inside that pretty head of hers!
He couldn't believe it himself, but she was fooled just like that. He didn't even have to go through the hassle of explaining the reasoning behind his actions.
'This is why she is the best system in existence. So naive and innocent, yet so advanced when it comes to the intricacies of the System Interface. What system could possibly be better than her?' He thought to himself with a small smirk.
"Would you like to come with me, Boundless?" He began.
|???| Boundless's interest was immediately piqued.
"I plan on venturing out into the Great Wildlands Forest before ultimately leaving this birdcage that has trapped me here for far too long. And I would like for you to come with me" He said with a kind, gentle smile plastered on those handsome features of his.
'Ahh!'
Such intense radiance, emitting from that simple gesture of his, proved to be too much for the docile Boundless as her knees began to buckle under the sheer weight of his brilliance!
"I-I come" She caved in without even negotiating any benefits for herself!
She utterly failed at resisting the unlimited charisma that flowed out of his every action
"That is good to hear. I feel like you would need to come either way; however, I felt like you deserved the choice to decide what you want to do for yourself"
**Spurt!**
'Aahhh!'
She took critical damage from such a fatal strike to her heart!
Why was this man such a baka and yet so sweet and nice!?!? Why is he so confusing!!!
**Thump**
She collapsed to the ground with a grimace.
She needed more time to recover from such damage to her heart before proceeding forward
"???" He looked at this little spectacle made by her with a puzzled look on his face.
'Is she okay?' Worry began to overtake his expression.
Boundless turned her head up, only to see the extreme amount of concern he had emanating around himit was so intense that it was practically palpable
And all of it was aimed at her
She took even more fatal damage as blood began to drizzle down her red lips!
"?!?" He was about to move toward her, but before he could
|... I-I am fine. This is just a part of being the embodiment of the Boundless System!| She lied straight through her teeth!
"I see" He responded with a relieved smile.
And he believed it!
(...)
Were these two bumble heads meant for one another or something?
(Sigh Whatever)
Even the narrator was left baffled at the pair of divinely beautiful dunder heads
.....
|So, when will we be heading out, Azmond?| She asked.
"Hmm right now, actually." He began,
"I am just going to go and ask Crystalline to come before we head out." He responded with a thoughtful expression.
"!..."
Boundless became a little vexed at hearing the name of that dumb bimbo again! But she left her annoyance dormant for now
'Humph! It's always that Crystalline and this Crystalline! That idiot never mentions my name in such a loving way" She began in a self-deprecating manner.
"Is it because I'm not pretty enough?' She thought to herself with a downcast look.
Her bubbly, effervescent aura began to dim, as she felt like curling up into a ball right about now...
However, before such thoughts could fester,
**Pak**
A light tap was heard as she was karate chopped by Azmond!
|Ow! W-what was that for?!?| She lamented with small fake tears building up in her big, brown eyes.
"Don't think such nonsense, silly girl. You are stupid gorgeous so don't think like that." He reprimanded with a peeved countenance.
"... Sigh.." An exasperated sigh escaped his aged expression before he walked up to the silly girl and began to tenderly rub her head.
