Chapter 441: Chapter 456: Invitation Chapter 441: Chapter 456: Invitation The romantic atmosphere gradually enveloped them both, and Lancelot opened his mouth to say something more, but the Succubus’s lips pressing against his silenced all his words. Unlike the brief kiss in the Cang Ye Bone Fortress, this time the Succubus didn’t disappear, allowing him to fully experience the softness of her touch.

Tijana was so passionate that their teeth clashed together with force. Lancelot felt a ridiculous sentiment arise within him because he actually thought that Tijana was quite inexperienced with kissing. He raised his arms, gently wrapping them around her, and with his tongue, tenderly yet firmly, he pried open the Succubus’s mouth, sending her a sweet invitation, just as he had invited her to tour his garden moments before.

It took a while before Tijana seemed to suddenly come to her senses and pushed Lancelot away.

“This kiss doesn’t count for anything!” the Succubus Lord declared, with eyes glaring and puffing up in anger, “I could have sucked out your soul just now and made you my slave forever…”
“I’m glad that didn’t happen,” Lancelot said, catching Tijana’s hand, “And you don’t need to do that, do you?”

“I’m a demon!” Tijana angrily shook her hand free, but found it more difficult than she expected to break away from the Human Knight’s warm palm, “Do you really know what you’re doing?”

“To tell the truth, no,” Lancelot affirmed as he looked steadfastly at Tijana, “To me, you are first Tijana, and then a Succubus, but whether you’re a demon or a Demon, an elf or a human, a goblin or an orc…”
“You’re the goblin and orc!”

“Okay, what I mean is, race or such things don’t matter,” Lancelot shrugged, “All that matters is you, understand? Your appearance alone is enough to drive any male creature wild, and I’m certainly not an exception. But what really attracts me is the independent, brave, strong, and kind soul that lies beneath your perfect exterior.”

“Kind?” Tijana’s face showed a bitter smile, “Are you sure?”

“You hide it well, but I can still feel it,” Lancelot said with a reassuring smile, “Although I am curious as to what kind of experiences have given you these qualities?”

“Say what you will, I’m not going to admit to having such weaknesses,” Tijana made a face that was very unbecoming of her Lord status. Then she gently patted Lancelot’s hand, and this time he immediately let go.

“I’m very pleased to hear your feelings because I like you too, for reasons I still don’t quite understand myself,” Tijana said earnestly, looking straight at Lancelot, “If you just want a moment of pleasure, I can give you that at any time, but we can’t be together. You have no idea what kind of mission and hatred I carry, nor the enemies I will face. I expect nothing but destruction at the end of my fate, and if you get too close to me, the same fate will await you.”

“What I want is not a moment of pleasure, but a lifelong companionship,” Lancelot’s face showed no sign of fear, “Can you tell me what the mission and hatred you bear actually are?”

“I’m not joking with you!” Tijana seemed a bit angry, “Just knowing my secrets is enough to shatter you to pieces!”

“My bones are probably much harder than you think,” Lancelot smiled faintly, “Like you, I have many secrets. When the time is right, we can exchange our secrets with each other, how about that?”

“The right moment?” Tijana looked at the Human Knight quizzically. “What kind of moment would be appropriate?”

“When I’m stronger than you,” Lancelot answered matter-of-factly. “That’s reasonable, isn’t it?”

Tijana’s beautiful eyes slowly widened, and the hesitation and struggle on her face gradually vanished, replaced by an excited, eager smile.

“Is this a challenge?” She waved her hand behind her, and a bright blue Portal appeared out of nowhere. “Care to dance? I promise not to use my Spell abilities, just to let you see how big the gap really is.”

“How could I refuse such an invitation?” Lancelot replied with a Knight’s bow. “It would be my honor.”

“Go put on your armor, Human, you’re going to need it,” Tijana said with a light laugh, turning and stepping through the Portal. “I’ll be waiting on the other side for you.”

Lancelot watched as the Succubus’s figure completely vanished behind the Portal, then turned and walked back inside. He was well aware that Tijana’s strength far exceeded his own, but he believed that if she refrained from using her Spell abilities, he still had a fighting chance.

What’s more, as the Lord of Twin Bridges Town and with the largest arsenal at his disposal, Tijana was actually very wealthy. Coupled with her so-called mission and hatred, if he did not demonstrate some real strength, he could make no progress in their relationship whatsoever.

And as a Cultivator blessed with the Elves’ favor, Lancelot’s lifespan had already far surpassed the limits of ordinary people. Moreover, if reading insights on Immortal Cultivation had any effect on him, it was to make him truly understand greed. Greed was not something shameful; it was the instinct of all Cultivators, driving those who were once mere mortals on the path toward transcendence. Greed also required immense patience, waiting for just the right moment to reap the richest of rewards possible.

Despite the grand principles Lancelot had just espoused, deep down he wanted it all, whether it was a moment’s pleasure or lifelong companionship.

Lancelot carefully donned his armor, starting with the close-fitting leather shirt and cap adorned with many straps, then the Steel Boots and knee guards, followed by the Chainmail Skirt protecting essential areas…

At that moment, he felt a peculiar throbbing from his Dimensional Bag at his waist. He untied the rope sealing the bag and placed it on the ground, and in the next second, the adorable little Vampire girl crawled out from inside.

“Brother Lancelot, good evening!” Little Isa greeted him with full energy but then immediately showed a surprised expression. “Yikes, Brother, why are you wearing armor? Let me help you… Didn’t we get home already? Where did everyone else go?”

“Bruto went to find his dad, Alamir’s at the tavern, and Kalalin said he had to meet someone from the Cult,” Lancelot turned, allowing little Isa to help tighten the straps between the Back Armor and Breastplate. “As for me… I’m going to have a match with Tijana. Don’t worry; it’s just a normal fight, to see who’s stronger.”

“Ah! Brother, what foolishness is this!” Little Isa’s face was filled with disbelief. “Although Brother Lancelot is very strong, going against Sister Tijana, you’re definitely going to lose!”
