"Ha? Adventure? Ha… are you crazy?"
Tangji, whose arms were being held by Li Ke as he used her like a rocking chair, struggled to lift her head and looked back at him in confusion while he controlled the pace from behind.
"A single commission only earns seven or eight gold coins at most, and you still have to factor in all sorts of miscellaneous expenses. You're taking that mage named Roche with you, and the two of you only take the simplest jobs. On top of that you have to split the rewards with her and cover the girl's food and lodging… mmm… are you… ah… serious? If you calculate it that way… wait a second… going out on adventures is pure loss for you!"
The Female Street Fighter's voice was breathless and broken, but Li Ke paid it no mind.
"The main goal is to increase my combat experience. In this world, strength is king. So… want to come help me?"
Li Ke focused on pushing himself deeper. He had never tried it from behind before. Only after attempting it did he realize that when the other person's gluteal muscles were this full and firm, getting inside was quite difficult. The thick, soft cheeks of her ass kept pushing back against him, forcing him to spread them apart with his hands before the swollen head of his cock could finally sink into her hot, tight entrance. Once he was fully buried, however, the sensation was incredible.
Every time he drew back and thrust forward, those powerful, elastic buttocks bounced and rebounded against his hips with heavy, fleshy impacts. The springy resistance and the way her inner walls clenched tightly around him with every movement were something ordinary girls simply couldn't match. The heat and pressure were intense, and the soft, heavy flesh of her ass constantly molded itself around the base of his cock.
"Mmm… then you'd be better off just giving me the money and letting me spar with you! Ah… you bastard!"
Li Ke suddenly released her arms, causing her to fall forward onto the bed. He immediately reached under her and grabbed both of her soft, heavy breasts, sinking his fingers deep into the plush mounds as he began thrusting hard. The full, warm flesh overflowed his palms with every squeeze while his hips slammed forward, driving himself deep into her from behind. Wet, heavy slaps filled the room as his body collided with her firm, shaking ass again and again.
"Aren't I sparring with you right now?"
Li Ke's teasing voice sounded thoroughly hateful in Tangji's ears, but there was nothing she could do about it. Right now he could only keep up his fierce, relentless pace; all she could do was grit her teeth and endure the deep, forceful thrusts that kept stretching and filling her.
In the end, when a hot, thick torrent suddenly erupted from him and collided with the surging fluids already flooding her passage, Tangji's body went completely soft. Her inner walls fluttered and clenched weakly around him as she collapsed onto the bed, a mixture of their release slowly leaking out around his still-buried cock.
"Hah… hah… You bastard… are you even human?!"
Still gasping for breath, Tangji glared at Li Ke with residual fear in her eyes.
She had no idea that it was her own constitution that had made him last so long. She simply assumed his abilities were extremely powerful.
Because of that, she was actually a little afraid of him now.
Li Ke, however, smiled as he pinched the full, soft fruit of her breast, rolling the heavy mound in his palm and brushing his thumb over the stiffened nipple. A red light flickered in his eyes.
"So if you don't want to run into this kind of danger again, come adventure with me!"
Looking at the additional 400 energy points that had just entered his account, Li Ke became even more certain that there was something abnormal about this number. He wanted Tangji—this "old hand"—to go adventuring with him.
He wasn't hoping for minotaurs or anything that strong just yet. For now, it would be enough if he could train until he could face a minotaur soldier head-on by himself.
"Impossible… even if you kill me here it won't happen. I still have to look after my territory. If I leave, there'll be no one to take care of those little brats."
Tangji grabbed Li Ke's hand to stop him from fooling around any further and stated her reason.
"Oh?"
Only then did Li Ke remember that Tangji's underlings were indeed a bunch of relatively young kids.
He thought for a moment, then took out a money pouch he had specifically set aside and opened it in front of Tangji.
"Become my exclusive mistress. This is this month's living expenses."
Li Ke genuinely loved Tangji's body—especially that unique venom of hers. It was perfect, almost too perfect.
At first Tangji didn't react. But the moment she clearly saw the color of the coins inside the pouch Li Ke was holding, her entire expression changed.
Her face flushed red, her aura surged, and she clutched the money bag as she shouted at him.
"This is enough to keep an aristocratic young lady! You bastard! What the hell are you thinking?!"
Looking at the extremely agitated Tangji, Li Ke put a finger to his lips, thought for a moment, and then reached a conclusion.
"Your body feels really good when I use it!"
"You bastard!"
Tangji roared and tackled Li Ke to the ground.
…
Energy +800.
—— Just another day of abnormal Energy growth ——
"So, Big Brother... you dropped over a hundred gold coins to buy a shop for that female Street Fighter, took her in as your kept woman, and all you got out of it was some useless poisons and a bunch of survival gear?"
Roche, carrying a massive backpack, stared at Li Ke with a completely speechless look on her face.
Li Ke simply nodded. The female Street Fighter had a lot on her plate. Between opening the bar and negotiating with other factions, everything took time. Because of that, she hadn't joined Li Ke on this particular adventure.
However, she had handed over her maps, along with her poisons and antidotes, to him. The deed to the shop was also under Li Ke's name; she was merely running it.
On top of that, she had recommended a Brawler to serve as his guide.
"Big Brother, you seriously have way too much money," Roche muttered, still dumbfounded.
Earning money as an adventurer in Arad was incredibly difficult. A guy like Li Ke, who threw gold coins around like candy, was already on the verge of becoming famous across the entire West Coast.
When she thought about how Li Ke used a hundred and twenty gold coins just to keep a female Street Fighter—and had only slept with her a handful of times—Roche desperately wanted to roast him. But more than that, she wanted to roast herself.
She had been in Arad for quite a while now, yet she had only managed to save up seven or eight gold coins. Meanwhile, Li Ke casually tossed out ten gold coins at a time.
The sheer financial shock was overwhelming.
Before she could stop herself, the words slipped out of her mouth.
"Seeing this makes even me want to be kept by you, Big Brother."
"Hmm?"
Li Ke instantly caught the keyword. He looked down at the girl in front of him, his eyes lingering on her chest, which was about as flat as a cutting board. A mocking smirk flashed across his face before he sighed and shook his head.
"You're too small. Forget it."
Roche had only meant it as a joke. But when she heard the word "small" and saw exactly where his eyes were targeting, her cute face instantly darkened. She shot back defensively.
"I am an adult, Big Brother!"
"Huh?"
"In Pandemonium, I am already considered an adult! Do you get it?!"
Furious, Roche reached out to grab Li Ke by the collar. Unfortunately, due to her height, she could only manage to clutch at his waistband. Watching this ridiculous sight, Li Ke couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He squatted down so he was eye-level with Roche, then reached out and ruffled her hair.
"Alright then. Five gold coins for a blowjob. You down?"
Roche: "..."
Are you for real?
Roche's mouth fell wide open. Even though she was technically an adult, her personality was naturally innocent and still very much like a young girl's. Faced with Li Ke's incredibly blunt, direct, and explicit price tag, she was completely shell-shocked. Staring at him with wide eyes, she stammered out her response.
"Y-You're serious?"
Li Ke remained perfectly calm. He pulled out a small pouch containing ten gold coins and began dangling it right in front of Roche's eyes.
"If you don't believe me, why don't you try it and find out?"
