Relax Time (13)
"Was there anything that caught your attention about the goods that are going to be auctioned?" At this moment Ruvan was walking through the City market accompanied by Lira and Xin. Four mercenaries escorted them to keep away any idiot who wanted to cause them problems.
"I didn't find anything special except one thing…" Ruvan said while looking at the trading stalls.
"Oh, wow! And what is that? Mysterious lord~" Lira asked with interest. She knew the kind of background Ruvan came from so she joke a little bit with him.
"I'm talking about that supposed map that leads to the tomb of the cultivator who gave its name to this continent" Said Ruvan. According to manager Lan, there were several indications to believe that the piece of the map that was going to be auctioned was real, however, to the misfortune of everyone, this map was only one piece of several missing pieces.
"Marxus Stein, according to legend, was a peerless cultivator who turned the world upside down with his high level of cultivation…"
"The ancient books mention that in his last moments alive he decided to return to this continent to die... Several people believe that his inheritance is found in this place but to date no one has been able to find any proof," Lira recited patiently.
"Damn… I bet you know the story pretty well" Ruvan said with a look full of amazement.
"Almost everyone on this continent knows it~"
"You can see it as general culture" Lira said without giving it much importance.
"According to what I read they say that this Marxus Stein was one of the most powerful members of a powerful Sect in the South Seas but all this can only be summarized in rumors and assumptions" Ruvan said with a thoughtful look.
Ruvan was always someone who was quite fond of history and was often seen reading a book or two in his free time.
"I feel that acquiring that piece of the map is not the best investment the captain could make…"
"But if you want to buy it anyway there's nothing stopping you" Lira said with an ironic smile, after all she knew her captain too well not to know his limitless personality.
"You're right... Anyway, let's see what happens" Ruvan said indifferently before moving to another store. This time it was the store where Lira had seen those bracers that she liked so much.
"Hey! Let's go to that store" Lira said with emotion as she pointed to another store selling women's clothing and objects. Although Lira was quite heroic and somewhat masculine that didn't mean that she didn't like to dress up from time to time, especially if it meant looking good in front of Ruvan.
"You wait here… Xin, come with me!" Lira said happily as she pulled the poor eunuch boy by the arm.
"Hey but Xin is…"
"It doesn't matter, no one will notice," Lira said before entering the store.
After a while Lira came out dressed in some very attractive types of clothes that accentuated her muscular figure, Ruvan for his part was salivating while watching the scene, he quickly offered to buy her more clothes as long as she modeled them for him.
"Hey tell me if Xin doesn't look cute" Lira said as she brought a completely cross-dressed Xin in front of Ruvan.
"Tell me if the hairpin doesn't look great on him," Lira said proudly as she forced the little Eunuch to model in front of Ruvan.
"Do I look good young master?" Xin asked with an embarrassed but at the same time expectant expression.
'Shit, if I didn't know that this guy was a eunuch, I'd swear he was a cute flat-chested girl,' Ruvan thought to himself as he constantly warned himself to stay away from Xin while he was drunk to avoid some kind of accident.
"Mmmm it looks good on you Xin" Ruvan said with a smile causing the little boy to smile happily.
'I must remember to talk to Lira about Xin later... I feel like she is making him too feminine.'
'Knowing this girl she's probably up to no good...' Ruvan made a mental note to talk to Lira later regarding little Xin's sexuality.
After a few more laps the three were back at the hotel where they were staying with the rest of the mercenaries of the band. They had agreed to go to dinner to celebrate the success of the mission, so they only returned to shower and change clothes.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In a private room located on the third floor of a beautiful seaside restaurant, Ruvan and his men were gathered, they were in a rather cheerful atmosphere as they dined and celebrated.
From time to time one of the mercenaries would remember a funny moment during the mission which would cause rounds of laughter from everyone at the table. At a glance one could tell that all the gang of mercenaries had a good relationship with each other.
"Well guys, here is everyone's part for their collaboration in the mission" Ruvan said with a smile as he handed a generous amount of spiritual stones to each of the mercenaries.
"A toast to the captain"
"Captain, I love you."
"I will follow the Captain to the gates of hell if necessary" Each of the soldiers shouted with joy as they received their pay. They were aware that no captain treated his men like Ruvan.
"Hahaha I love you bastards too… But now it's time to enjoy the food and drink" Ruvan said with a smile as he choked on the wine in his glass.
"Mmmm the fish here is undoubtedly the best I have ever eaten… Its reputation was not in vain" Lira said happily while clutching her cheeks.
"That's good.. My dish is delicious too" "How about yours Xin?" Ruvan asked to which the little teenager nodded with an excited smile.
After a couple of hours the group finally left the restaurant where Ruvan gave free license to all the mercenaries to have fun for the night. The men were full of joy after all they had full pockets to spend on women and alcohol.
"Well…Let's drop Xin off at the hotel."
"Later we can go have fun" Ruvan said with a smile causing Xin to pout.
"Don't worry, Xin, you're still too small to join us," Lira said as she patted him on the back a few times while winking at him.
'How do you join us?'
'Shit, this matter is getting weirder and weirder...' Ruvan thought for a few moments before discarding his thoughts.
