Chapter 316: Last Day
"B-BOSS!!"
Realizing that their boss was beaten unconscious, Jason's two underlings jumped down from the stands, rushing towards their boss' side.
"B-Boss! Hang in there, I have some potions here!"
Witnessing how loyal Jason's underlings were, Shye was impressed.
It was hard to find such loyal people, after all.
'Too bad their boss is quite the arrogant idiot.' Shye inwardly thought before proceeding towards the old man who was holding the rewards basket.
"Congratulations, Sir Crowley. Here's your winnings."
"Thank you."
Eagerly grabbing each coin sack with a wide smile on his face, Shye stored them in the system's inventory before sauntering towards the arena's exit to execute phase number three of his point extraction plan.
Upon arriving at the exit, Shye abruptly stopped walking and turned around, gazing intensely at Shirley who was looking back at him with a confused expression.
Then, once Shye had successfully established eye contact with her, he motioned for Shirley to come and exit the arena together with him.
Shirley wasn't stupid.
She immediately realized that Shye wanted to show everyone that she was his woman. Enjoy exclusive adventures from m-v l'e|m,p-y r
Naturally, she felt happy that Shye, who typically refrained from showing his affection publicly, chose to do so to ward off any potential suitors from her branch by letting them know that she was already taken.
Shirley disliked being called the ice queen and only wanted to grow stronger and raise her rank in peace.
Hopefully, Shye's assertive yet affectionate actions would be able to successfully eliminate the funny ideas in the heads of her guild branchmates, or at least reduce the unnecessary attention she was receiving every time she entered the guild branch headquarters.
Well, she wasn't wrong as Shye partially wanted to ward off the guys who had ideas about her, however, that wasn't the only reason.
The other reason was, of course, to show off! And earn more points!
Shirley's actions naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the arena as she was the main reason why the two competitors fought in the first place.
Intense gazes of admiration followed her as she bashfully walked towards the exit—the bashful expression on her face, further ensnaring the hearts of the lovestruck audience.
Unfortunately, their hearts were meant to break today.
Upon reaching the exit gates, Shirley found herself pleasantly surprised as Shye casually wrapped his arm over her shoulder, planting a gentle smooch on her cheek shortly after.
Such affectionate actions naturally destroyed everyone's hearts, including Jason's, who just recovered physically only to be broken emotionally promptly after.
Naturally, there were a few crazy ones amongst the crowd who couldn't accept the fact that the ice queen's heart was captured by someone from a different city, hence, one of them desperately asked.
"A-Are you two dating now?" asked a courageous yet desperate bald guy near the exit.
Hearing the guy's question, Shirley turned her head, smiling as she looked at the bald guy.
"Hmm? We've been dating right from the start. A bit over four years now." Shirley proudly said, walking out of the arena with a blush on her face.
[Congratulations! You've earned 10,000 points!]
…
"Hahahaha! Ice Queen! Why are you still blushing? You've seen everything I have, yet, you blush because of a simple kiss on the cheek? I truly cannot fathom your thoughts…"
"Shut up! Idiot! Stop calling me Ice Queen! Of course, I'll blush. This is the first time you kissed me in front of 10,000 people!"
"Hmmph! Those loathsome rookies in your branch had funny thoughts in their minds. I had to set boundaries."
Hearing Shye's words, Shirley blushed even more.
However, upon realizing that Shye would have to leave tomorrow, a pang of sorrow struck her heart.
Who knows how long it would take for both of them to see each other again?
'Well, such an excellent man would always be busy…'
She comforted herself with the notion that it would be more beneficial to seize the opportunity to cherish their time together rather than indulging in preemptive sorrow.
With that thought in mind, Shirley took the initiative.
"Hey, Shye, will you please treat me to steak again?"
"Oh? Ah! Yeah, of course! It'll be my pleasure, Miss Ice Queen!"
"I told you to stop calling me that!"
"Hahahaha! My bad, your majesty."
The couple lightly bantered as they sauntered towards Shirley's preferred steak restaurant, making Shye feel elated as the distance between the two of them slowly shrunk.
In the past, he could only dream of conversations like this with Shirley as she always had an air of seriousness when she was with him.
Probably because of his academy celebrity status.
However, ever since the labyrinth incident, he noticed that Shirley made active efforts to shorten the gap between them.
Although it was unfortunate that they didn't have ample time to enjoy each other's company to the fullest before they parted, as long as they continued grinding away, they would inevitably end up together in Valenzia City.
Good conversations, good times together, and good s*x are surely a great way to start.
Upon reaching the steak restaurant, Shye assumed the lead, selecting a prime seating arrangement and promptly ordering all of Shirley's preferences with a beaming smile, delighted that his girlfriend had taken the initiative to indulge herself.
After chatting for a short while, the food arrived, assaulting their olfactory senses as the savory smell of a well-seasoned steak entered their nostrils.
The food was good.
What's next? Good s*x of course!
Once they were done eating, Shye settled the bill, leaving a sizable tip to share a small blessing with the mundane waiter.
"H-Hey! Slow down!" Shye exclaimed, breathing heavily as Shirley dragged him by the wrist towards the inn.
Seeing her so turned on and excited to engage in sexual activities, a flame of sensual passion lit up and burned fiercely in his heart.
Just thinking of f*cking the smokeshow of a body in front of him made his little brother stand up vigorously.
Since Shye paid for seven nights, they didn't have to stop by the counter, directly heading to premium room seven promptly after arriving at the inn.
"Haaah…Haaah…"
*BANG!*
Shirley breathed heavily as she slammed the room's door, clumsily locking it.
Naturally, now that the two of them were in a prime location to do the enjoyable deed, Shye wouldn't hold back, swiftly pouncing at Shirley's lips akin to a ferocious predator.
From that, the situation only escalated.
Moans continuously echoed subtly along the empty corridors of the premium floor and eyeballs rolled upwards as the couple enjoyed their last day together.
