"Caught you!"

Veia said to Rant Valo and wrapped her arms around him. Rant Valo allowed himself to be caught by her. Otherwise, he could have run faster than her even if they ended up using their cultivations.

​​

"Veia, let go!"

Rant Valo struggled from her embrace. He pushed her away, but Veia's strong grip was not letting him go.

"No! Master you tried to bully me."

Veia said with a happy smile on her face.

"Veiaaaaaa!"

Rant Valo screamed loudly.

"Disciple, stop screaming like a girl. You can get out yourself, right?"

Floriana Sabina looked at Rant Valo mockingly.

"Y-Yeah…"

Rant Valo smiled awkwardly at her. Couldn't she see that he was just messing around with Veia?

"So you like role-playing?"

Floriana Sabina raised an eyebrow at Rant Valo.

"..."

Rant Valo didn't know what to say to her.

"Then, become my dog!"

Floriana Sabina flew into the air and rode on Rant Valo's shoulders.

"W-Wait!"

Rant Valo tried to avoid her, but he couldn't.

"Go! Fetch!"

Floriana Sabina threw her fan towards the sea and it landed just about the water.

Rant Valo looked at the fan in silence. He wasn't gonna go fetch it like a dog. He still had pride as a man.

"Master, do you want me to get it? I'll act like your dog!"

Veia said to Rant Valo with an excited smile on her face. She was really eager to serve Rant Valo.

"Veia, what are you saying?"

Rant Valo looked at her weirdly. He didn't remember her being so masochistic.

"Master is master, and I'm your servant. Isn't it natural that I act like your dog?"

Veia said to Rant Valo with a smile.

"That's true, but you're not my dog, Veia."

Rant Valo frowned at her words. If that is what she thinks about their relationship then he couldn't help but worry.

"Yes! I'm your loyal servant, Veia!"

Veia pressed her body onto Rant Valo.

"Disciple! What do you choose to do?"

Floriana Sabina asked Rant Valo while she was still riding on his shoulders.

"To act like a dog or to make someone act like a dog? What kind of choices is that?"

Rant Valo retorted awkwardly. He doesn't want to choose any.

"Hmmm… So you want to act like a dog while ordering someone to act like a dog?"

Floriana Sabina held her chin in ponder and said to Rant Valo.

"No! Stop making me look like a weird pervert!"

Rant Valo shouted at her.

"Fufufu. I'm just kidding, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina chuckled, and she dropped down from Rant Valo's shoulder.

"Master is no fun."

Veia said to him, downcast.

"Come, Disciple. Let's take a dip."

Floriana Sabina pulled Rant Valo's hand towards the water.

"Yes, Master! Let's go!"

Veia followed Floriana Sabina's example and also pulled Rant Valo's hand.

"Oooh! The water is cold."

Veia exclaimed as they slowly go deeper and deeper into the sea. The waves slammed onto their bodies calmly.

"Pueh! It's really salty!"

Rant Valo tasted the water. He got curious if the rumor that seawater is salty was true. Well, he managed to prove it himself. His villager's common sense was satisfied.

"They use this water to make salt, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina said to Rant Valo.

"Is that why salt is very expensive?"

Rant Valo asked her in curiosity. Salt is really expensive when they bought it before.

"Not all salt comes from the sea. Some are mined underground."

Floriana Sabina explained to him.

"I see. Is there any difference?"

Rant Valo asked her as he slowly dipped his body deeper into the water.

"Master, I'll wash your back."

Veia said to him. She then started to take off his clothes.

"Wait, Veia! I only have my undergarments…"

Rant Valo's words were too late as Veia had already taken Rant Valo's robe off.

"Ah…"

Rant Valo looked at his naked body blankly. There was only a piece of fabric covering his crotch.

"Wow, Master! Your abs look really good. Even though it was from Grandmaster, it looks really good on you!"

Veia exclaimed as she examined Rant Valo's naked body. She ran down her fingers across his thick muscles.

"Disciple, you seem to be enjoying yourself."

Floriana Sabina looked at Rant Valo in amusement. She found it funny that he was resisting Veia while not really resisting it.

"I-I'm not!"

Rant Valo shook his head in embarrassment.

"Well, whatever. I'll join in."

Floriana Sabina shrugged her shoulders and walked towards them. A round rock appeared in her hands, and she used it to rub on Rant Valo's body.

"I'll help you clean yourself, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina said to Rant Valo.

"Wait, Master Floriana! Why are you joining in?"

Rant Valo asked her in panic. He watched as Floriana Sabina gave another stone to Rant Valo.

"Isn't it natural that I take care of my disciple?"

Floriana Sabina looked at Rant Valo in a matter-of-fact manner.

"..."

Rant Valo was speechless at her. She even managed to use that as a reason for her shameless acts.

"What? You don't want to be cleaned by cute girls?"

Floriana Sabina looked at Rant Valo with a frown on her face.

"That's not it… We're out in the open."

Rant Valo whispered to her.

"Huh? There's no one watching us, Disciple. We can go crazy as much as we want."

Floriana Sabina said to Rant Valo with a tempting smile on her face.

"That doesn't really reassure me…"

Rant Valo looked at her warily. She was taking advantage of this situation to further their relationship.

"D-Do you really want me to grow up first before you'll lay your hands on me?"

Floriana Sabina looked at Rant Valo with misty eyes.

"W-What…"

Rant Valo looked at her in disbelief.

"It's okay, Disciple. I know you're kind, and you have morals. I'll grow up first."

Floriana Sabina wiped the tears on her face.

"When you grow up."

Rant Valo nodded his head at her resolutely.

"You promise?"

Floriana Sabina asked Rant Valo softly.
