Chapter 1233: Chapter 555: Humiliated!!!

So, Herbert angrily rebuked the Harmonious God with righteous indignation: "Hey! Demoness! You vile Demon, stop speaking such tempting things to mess with my mind!"

["Oh?"]

However, Nenasha, who was being scolded, didn’t get angry at all. Instead, she playfully retorted: ["So you admit that this is very tempting for you?"]

Herbert wasn’t embarrassed by having his thoughts revealed; he unabashedly admitted, "Ha, of course! What’s there to hide?"

He hummed with pride in his heart.

"If the timing wasn’t off, the progress wasn’t there, and it didn’t need a little more heat, I would’ve already made my move, without needing you to teach me."

Heh heh, I’m no ordinary Paladin.

Herbert had a clear "plan" in mind.

Conquering Miss Devil is a long-term strategy, requiring patience, skill, and perfect timing. How can one adopt the simple, crude method of the foolish Harmonious God that can easily go wrong?

That’s far too inelegant.

["Hmph, men."]

Nenasha snorted, accustomed to Herbert’s "hypocritical" attitude, and wisely said: ["Alright, you two have fun. I can’t be bothered with you~"]

Miss Xie Shen quietly exited, returning the stage to the Paladin and the Demon.

Let’s continue to enjoy the show~

Kreti had no idea about the rapidly changing dialogue in Herbert’s mind and still thought she had successfully hidden from Herbert as she continued: "Besides, I’m not energetic every day."

As she spoke, she yawned a bit wearily and stretched lazily, intentionally slowing the motion, with a hint of lethargy, her curves fully revealed, silently showcasing her proud charm.

Although unknowingly showcasing her allure, combined with her facial expression, she seemed not to be in high spirits.

"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Herbert’s expression changed, his brows slightly furrowing, and he started to place his hand on Kreti to check her condition.

However, Kreti’s cheeks reddened, and she slightly turned to the side, subtly dodging the approaching hand.

She seemed sick and weary, but in reality, she had just been mentally exhausted from overthinking her future life.

"No, my body is perfectly fine, it’s just a bit idle — um, a bit bored."

Kreti was telling the truth.

In the prison earlier, she hadn’t felt much; hundreds of years passed by casually.

Picking fights with Demons was something to do; time just flew by with their back-and-forth.

Back then, boredom was a norm, and she even learned how to co-exist with boredom.

After going out for a spin and wandering around Holy Light City... only a few days had passed, but she started feeling life here was unbearable.

The various experiences in Holy Light City were like a bomb thrown into her dull and monotonous world.

Having finally experienced the excitement outside, returning to this unchanging prison presented a huge contrast that she found hard to adjust to.

What was once a "habit" turned into "endurance," what was once "killing time" turned into "painful suffering."

Tsk.

She really was greedy.

But this is actually a very normal psychological state.

It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to frugality.

Kreti shook her head, not giving it much thought, or rather, she forced herself not to delve into issues exposing her weaknesses and dependencies.

She looked up at Herbert, snorted, "So, is there something you want from me this time?"

"Oh dear, can’t I visit you if there’s no reason?"

Herbert smiled at the Demoness who was feigning indifference, naturally sitting on the bronze chair next to her, chuckling as he said, "I think our relationship isn’t that distant, is it?"

"Hmph."

The Demoness gave a cold laugh, showing disdain for his familiarity and thick-skinned nature, but she didn’t drive him away, tacitly allowing his approach.

She stared into his eyes sideways, deliberately thickening her tone as she snorted, "Is that so? I actually feel we’re not that close."

"We are, we are, you must be mistaken." Herbert gazed back with a smile, his eyes filled with a sincerity almost capable of blinding.

"...Tsk."

Kreti watched the enticing beauty in his eyes, smacking her lips slightly.

Does she really not know?

Miss Devil’s nervous gaze wandered until it met Herbert’s lips, causing her heart to skip a beat.

The beautifully lined lips always wore an annoying smile, and now they seemed to have some magic, reminding her of the fleeting yet vivid sensation during that time they touched.

Warm, soft, imbued with the unique clean aura of Holy Light...

Ugh!

She shouldn’t think about it anymore, how could she be so impulsive at the time to kiss him?

Impulse truly is a killer!

Feeling a bit nervous that Herbert might seize this opportunity to add another layer, she was relieved when he politely diverted his gaze.

Herbert shifted the topic and said, "But, coincidentally, this time I actually have something I want to consult you about."

???

Having snapped back, Kreti glared irritably at the man, who seemed "utterly clueless," unable to resist the urge to griped, "Ha, what a deceitful man."

She now strongly suspected he did it on purpose!

Intentionally coming closer, using that ambiguous attitude to stir her emotions, and then switching to a businesslike demeanor; it’s practically an insult to her charm!
