Chapter 155: Florida Man Drafts Emergency Will After He Accidentally Slept with His Mother-in-Law
"A flying island? That sounds so fancy!" Diana giggled as Felix described his new home and complained about his item storage problems. "Actually, I can help with the warehouse management. I know subspace spells."
Felix raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Subspace? I've heard fifth-circle mages can use it, but I never got the details. How does it work?"
Diana gave a light shrug. "To be honest, it's pretty straightforward. At our level, we can open a void or a subspace within our mana heart. It's like shrinking items and storing them temporarily in this pocket dimension. But it does drain mana to maintain."
She waved her hand, tracing a square in the air. A transparent cube appeared, and she casually dropped the beer mug inside. The mug shrank instantly, becoming a tiny cup that hovered inside the cube.
"See?" Diana twirled her finger, and the mug returned to its normal size. "Simple, right?"
Felix nodded, understanding the basics, but his curiosity took another turn. "Does your system have an inventory feature too?"
"Oh, yeah, I've got that."
Felix smirked. "How much can you store?"
Diana gave a sly grin. "Why don't you take a guess?"
Felix crossed his arms, considering. Given that Diana had been around this world longer and seemed more experienced, he figured she'd have a decent inventory. "200 slots?"
Diana's smirk widened, clearly enjoying the moment. "Try 2,000."
Felix blinked. "Holy—2,000? Can you store containers in there too?"
Diana tilted her head, smugness radiating off her. "Who do you think I am? My fate crystal is heaven-grade. Of course I can store containers with items inside, and they stack."
Felix stared at her in silence for a moment, impressed and a little overwhelmed. His glowing eyes caught a slight flush on her face as the cave's dim light flickered over her features.
She was definitely drunk.
Diana leaned closer, her smile growing a bit more mischievous. She glanced down and checked Felix's assets.
Felix completely forgot that he was in his birthday suit. As a result, his tempered physique aroused the lamia queen. Her mouth watered, "You know, with subspace magic, we could solve all your storage problems and maybe... share some space between us?"
Felix, half-amused but now slightly alarmed, glanced at the half-empty keg of beer. "Uh-huh, I see. Maybe we can talk more about logistics when you're a little less... enchanted by the beer, yeah?"
Diana, clearly not taking the hint, pouted as she crawled closer, her movements slow and deliberate. She placed the mug down and, without warning, pushed Felix onto his back.
"H-Hey!" Felix blurted out, his eyes widening in surprise.
"Shhh," Diana whispered, pressing a finger to his lips. "Let it happen. It's just a little... exchange."
Felix's mind raced, trying to gauge whether she was serious or just too far gone into her beer-induced haze. "Y-You…" he stammered, not entirely sure how to handle the situation.
"You know," Diana continued, her voice dripping with playful suggestion, "for an alliance to truly last, sometimes members need to be... intimate. Very intimate." Her words carried a teasing tone, but there was an unmistakable undercurrent of seriousness.
Felix shifted, trying to gently push her away without escalating things. "Diana, I think you're—uh—confusing a strategic partnership with something else." He chuckled nervously, attempting to lighten the mood. "Besides, I thought beer and dragon meat were enough for bonding."
Diana chuckled softly but leaned in closer, her breath warm against his ear. "Sometimes, alliances require more... physical terms." Her voice dipped, her tone sultry.
Felix, now fully aware that this was veering into dangerous territory, quickly sat up, slipping out from under her. "Okay, how about we focus on getting you some more food and, uh, rest? You seem pretty tired. We can discuss the intimate details later."
Diana let out a disappointed sigh but didn't push further. She slumped back against the wall of the cave, clearly tipsy and on the verge of passing out. "You're no fun, Felix…"
After dropping the complaint, she closed her eyes while her arms still clung on his legs.
Felix exhaled, relieved the situation had de-escalated, though he made a mental note for future interactions.
No more spirit beer for the lamia queen!
Feeling the effects of the beer himself, and somewhat drained from the chaotic events of the past few days, Felix glanced at Diana's tail—still curled near him—and, without overthinking it, took the liberty of using it as a makeshift pillow.
The smooth, scaly surface was surprisingly comfortable, and within moments of shutting his eyes, the exhaustion hit him like a wave. He hadn't slept for over three days, and instead of just a quick nap, he passed out cold.
The moment his consciousness slipped, Felix entered a deep, vivid dream. A very long, very pleasurable dream—one that felt both exhilarating and strange, filled with surreal images and oddly familiar faces. Everything was disjointed, yet oddly peaceful.
…
When Felix finally stirred, he had no idea how much time had passed. He blinked groggily, his mind still foggy as he tried to piece together his surroundings. The cave was dimly lit, the faint glow from the pond providing just enough light to see by. Outside, the sky remained cloaked in darkness, suggesting that not too much time had passed.
Rubbing his eyes, Felix sat up, feeling the heaviness of his limbs from the deep, much-needed slumber. But as he stretched and moved, something felt off. He paused, frowning slightly as an odd sensation hit him.
His balls felt… lighter?
A wave of uncertainty washed over him as he glanced down, heart skipping a beat. To his relief, everything was still intact—his "assets" remained rock solid. But that strange lightness, like something had been drained from him, nagged at the back of his mind.
A bad feeling crept up his spine.
Turning around, he spotted Diana, still fast asleep, her body nestled comfortably on the hay cushion. Her posture had shifted slightly, and the lamia queen looked oddly peaceful, her breathing soft and slow.
There was something different about her.
Her skin seemed smoother, almost glowing with a healthy sheen, and her usual sharp expression had softened into a serene smile.
But as Felix's gaze lingered, he noticed something else—something that made his stomach drop. There were spots on her face—traces of something sticky on her cheek and nose. And worse yet, below her waist, a trickle of mysterious white liquid leaked from her groin.
Felix slapped his forehead, his suspicion instantly confirmed. He had been had.
"Man…" he muttered under his breath, trying to process what had happened. His exhaustion, mixed with the effects of the beer, had left him vulnerable. And now… well, the evidence spoke for itself.
*DING*
<Congratulations. You have consumed the legendary oyakodon.>
"Not funny, Jessica," Felix groaned, rubbing his temples as he shot a glare at the system interface, trying to shake off the absurdity of the situation.
The lamia queen's soft snores filled the quiet cave, her expression a picture of contentment. Meanwhile, Felix silently vowed to never let his guard down in front of Diana again. In addition, he needed to think of an explanation to tell Jiji.
'Jiji is gonna kill me for sure...' Felix thought, his mind already bracing for the storm that was bound to come.
...
The next morning, Diana woke up refreshed, while Felix hadn't slept a wink.
It turned out that he had been out cold for two days straight, completely missing a chunk of time. When he checked the system, the quest countdown timer displayed less than 95 days remaining before the main quests would be erased. The ticking clock added a new layer of urgency.
Felix stood outside the cave, gazing at the scenery. As he putting on clothes and gathered his belongings, Felix glanced over at Diana, who stretched lazily, clearly in no rush. He sighed and got straight to business.
"Let's pack up. I'm taking you to my place so you can settle in. After that, I'll need your help tracking down the fate crystal bearers."
Diana, looking utterly satisfied, slithered over and wrapped herself around Felix's arm in an affectionate embrace. "Whatever you say, my king," she purred, her eyes gleaming with playful mischief.
The corners of Felix's mouth twitched. He stared at her, his mind swirling. He wanted to scold her—REALLY scold her for the mess they'd gotten into. But then, an unsettling wave of guilt hit him like a ton of bricks. He thought about Jane.
Hadn't he just told her that he hadn't given up on her?
And a day later, he cheated on her with Jiji.
But it didn't stop there. Felix grimaced, pinching the bridge of his nose as he tried to shake off the realization. He hadn't just cheated on Jane. He had cheated on Jiji with her MOTHER.
The weight of it all made him facepalm. He groaned internally, feeling like the biggest jerk in the world. How had things escalated this far?
Trying to regain some composure, Felix muttered under his breath, "You're gonna have to explain all of this to your daughter."
Diana burst into a laugh, clearly amused by his discomfort. "Oh, my king, you don't need to worry about that," she said with a grin that could light up the entire cave. "Alphas earn the right to possess multiple females."
Felix's eyes widened in disbelief. "Weren't you from Earth?! What the hell?! How can you do this to your daughter?"
Diana's grin only widened as she gave a nonchalant shrug. "She wouldn't mind. Trust me," she said, utterly confident.
"..."
Felix stood there, speechless. The situation was too absurd, even for him, and he couldn't decide whether to be outraged, confused, or just give up entirely on understanding the bizarre logic of the lamia queen.
All he knew was that the fallout with Jiji was going to be monumental... and he wasn't ready for that conversation. Read now on m_vl_em_p_yr
"Let's go." Felix decided to change the subject, brushing aside the awkwardness of the situation. He summoned a large white truck from his inventory, one built to carry something as massive as a full-grown lamia.
Diana's eyes widened in surprise, her gaze softening with nostalgia as she looked at the modern vehicle. "When was the last time I saw a truck like this? I kinda miss it," she murmured, almost on the verge of shedding a tear. The sight brought back memories of a life long gone.
"Just hop on," Felix said with a grin. "I'll drive you back."
"Okay!" Diana eagerly climbed onto the back of the truck, coiling her long tail and tucking it neatly into the tight space. Luckily, her mathematical precision and flexibility made it easy to fit without too much trouble.
Felix slid into the driver's seat, the soft leather creaking under him as he started the engine. The truck roared to life, but instead of a loud growl, it emitted a low, steady hum. The front console lit up, displaying a list of the vehicle's high-tech functions: Charging/Changing Essence Stone, Barrier Activation, Self-Repair, Transport Mode, GPS Navigation, and Auto-Drive.
With a flick of his fingers, Felix activated the barrier function. A yellowish energy dome shimmered into existence, enveloping the truck and Diana. It provided protection from any potential threats on the road. He then switched the vehicle into "Rough Terrain" mode, ensuring the ride would be smooth no matter the obstacles ahead.
"Where to?" Felix asked himself rhetorically as he set their destination on the GPS. A few quick button presses later, the wheels began turning on their own, shifting the truck into auto-drive mode.
The truck glided forward effortlessly, its tires crunching against the dirt path as they left the charred remains of the forest behind. Felix reclined slightly, watching the barren landscape pass by through the windshield. There was a strange tranquility to the scene—the destruction left in their wake was sobering, but the quiet hum of the vehicle seemed to soothe it.
Diana, coiled comfortably in the back, closed her eyes, momentarily lost in the soothing motion of the journey. The soft glow of the barrier shield gave her an almost ethereal look in the dim light. She couldn't help but smile to herself as they rolled through the desolate terrain. "You know," she said softly, her voice carrying over the wind, "this kind of reminds me of the old days.
A bit different, but still... it's nice."
Felix glanced back briefly, a small smirk on his face. "Yeah, well, don't get too comfortable. We've got work to do when we get back."
Diana chuckled. "I know, I know. But a girl can enjoy the ride for a bit, can't she?"
Felix shook his head, amused. The road ahead stretched on, and for a moment, both of them enjoyed the calm before the next storm.
