Chapter 57 - A Husband Doesn't Mind Slow Progress! It's Only The Third Floor After All!
The souls could be seen by a naked eye.
Kyoya and Xaya were like snakes slithering around the battlefield. No one really tried to stop them and if some lustful eyes landed on Xaya's beauty, then Kyoya would simply use his movement skill to widen the distance. The souls won't run away!
Also, Kyoya's minimap can mark the souls. There was no way for the couple to miss shining in the dark souls, so the passive skill 'minimap' just ascertained their hunt. Surrounded by the filth, Kyoya and Xaya were unstoppable when it comes to running away.
And gathering the souls was even easier.
For the outsiders, it looked as if beautiful madame was playing on the piano! With one hand, but still! Xaya was faintly smiling at first, but then her expression slowly distorted into disappointment. Regardless of that, she still did her magic and using the invisible pen to assign the souls, Xaya collected the soul essence, then sent the soul straight to the death castle.
The soul essence is nice.
But the stats coming from the human soul are just disappointing!
[0.1 Strength!]
"What kind of bullshit is this?"
The beauty spoke in the vulgar language yet no one could think of her as vulgar. The wife was aiming to work diligently as it would help her and her husband, but the stats gained from the quest quickly changed her posture. From the beautiful and diligent, Xaya stood up and put her hands on her waist.
She felt like kicking the dead body near her!
Yet no one thought of her as vulgar and even wished to lend their own body so that her anger subsides! The more bold ones came closer to grab her slender legs, but this is where the husband steps in. He grasped his wife like the man, her body landing in his embrace.
Then, Wife Sidestep movement skill took them to another part of the battlefield.
On his face, there was just a faint smile looking forward to success.
"Husband, aren't you irritated?"
"This is only the third floor, Xaya. The humans are weak and it's not like we are facing a strong opponent. This is an easy way for us to grow. Look at others, they have to kill, scheme and betray just to raise their stats… Hah, they can't even look at their stats without external help."
"Mmm…"
Xaya pondered, then bloomed with smiles. Her husband flawlessly dealt with her disappointment! Not only he reassured that the future souls will be better, but he also insulted the filth! Along with the tight grasp around her waist, Xaya could only giggle and jump with her husband to collect more souls.
They have a lot of abilities and quests. Many couples would be fuming with jealousy if they knew! Xaya continuously nodded to her husband's convincing words, then planted a lovely kiss on his cheek.
"I got a lot of stamina stats."
"Perfect! But I will still complain to mom later!"
"Whatever."
She just wants her master, Rhest, to argue with his wife for his usual overbearing attitude. But that's how the god should be, right? Regardless of that, Kyoya didn't plan to intervene in this matter as that's Xaya and her 'family' stuff!
He can either help her if needed!
For now, Kyoya and Xaya planned to avoid the filth, ignore the 'normal ones' and raise their stats in the unique to the world pillar way. The couple also could normally raise their stats by going around. It mostly contributed to stamina and strength.
How could Xaya not be full of smiles?
Their stats were going up, but then another problem appeared.
Of course, Xaya didn't hold herself back at all, her voice silencing the battlefield.
"What the fuck are those goblins doing? How can they lose so badly? This battlefield is going to be done soon! Hmpf."
Hmpf. Hmpf. Hmpf.
This cute harumph echoed not only throughout the cavern but also the hearts of the adventures. They are risking their lives, they are fighting with their equipment on the line and their hearts were palpitating with seriousness and valor yet there was a woman who looked down on all of this?
Even goblins roared in anger. For them, Xaya was a delicious woman! No one of them had eaten such high-quality flesh, so they insulted her first.
"Stupid chick!"
"She silenced the whole battlefield!"
"It is our chance! Let's reward her later! Gyeye!"
The purple goblins fumed and pounced forward. They got some leeway to rest, and prepare more sneaky attacks at the humans and other races stopped by Xaya's shout. Then, one of the former leaders turned its eyes to Anoke. The goal was to raise the morals of the goblin race, but when he finally spotted his leader…
"Gehhh…"
"Leader Anoke?"
"Gehhhh! Gehhhhhhhh! Gehhhhhhhhh!"
Idiots! How could they enrage this yandere wife?
Anoke tried to convey his thoughts, but he was breathing so hard it was impossible to speak. His lips were quivering and he lost his focus! That lovely voice was more deadly than one could possibly imagine… The former party member of Kyoya rolled on the ground with fear, then personally threw himself straight into the battlefield.
"Gehhhhhh! Gehhhhhhhhh! Gehhhhhhhhhh!"
No one could decipher those screams.
But if there was a godly translator, then he would blink thinking who the hell is the scary yandere wife. The morales of the purple goblins increased nonetheless and the tides of the war began changing with the strongest and mightiest goblin slashing his knife through the flesh.
"Now, that's what I like! You damn lower creature! I will spare you today!"
"Gehhhhhh!"
He said thank you very much.
Though the goblin leader was filled with gratitude, the same couldn't be said about humans and third-floor residents. Their eyes were red as they looked at the couple, trying to tear them apart while alive. This was so evident that Kyoya could feel their eyes on his skin.
As if they could manifest some unknown pressure.
"The leader himself would eventually join up the fight, so what's up with such eyes? We are a third party, please, don't mind us."
The husband bowed slightly as if he was here with a different purpose, asking others to not meddle in. But his wife already put her nose in their battlefield, so how could they accept this courteous bow? They blew air through their noses like barbarians, and launched some low techniques to punish the couple!
Sidestep! Sidestep! Sidestep!
Kyoya was as if a bird with so many filth around.
A lot of mana was needed though, but he was faring well. No one could touch him except his wife! The battle was only in mid-stage, far before the end, so they could escape outside to heal to which Kyoya agreed. He left the cavern, then peeked at the time.
"Hmm? It's dinner time already."
"Ah! Then I will prepare the bonfire! Go for the water, husband!"
Beneath them, there was a huge battlefield going on.
Yet the husband and wife began preparing up their dinner!
"We really should get more recipes… It will be easy with the system, I just need a little more knowledge. For this, the nine ascended kingdoms should be our goal."
"Yes, husband!"
"Even now, we can go here, but I want to properly enter there with level 60. This should make me a fourth-floor adventurer."
"Husband wants to get evaluated here?"
"Yes, one of these kingdoms is going to be our home or base! The adventurer guilds from such kingdoms are way different and more valuable compared to the ones on the outside world pillar. It should be fun for you too, Xaya."
"Everything is fun with Kyoya."
A yandere wife said, then she instantly went 'Ahhh' wanting to be fed by Kyoya. As the husband was eating not in so civilized way, his finger became the desert for Xaya later on.
