At five o'clock in the afternoon, Todd, who was restless, read the material report at a glance, signed a bunch of comments in a hurry, and threw it back to Ackerman.
The latter said while receiving the document: "Boss, there is a celebration in the tribe tonight, and the leaders hope to invite you to the banquet."
"Not tonight." Todd said firmly, "I have something to do."
Ackerman raised his eyebrows: "I heard that there are female slaves who dance without clothes..."
"No time."
Under Ackerman's surprised gaze, Todd strode out of the tribal hall and headed straight back to the small building in the camp.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Rachel lying on the table, busy sorting out documents. Todd tiptoed over from behind her, and swooped down and hugged her.
Rachel let out a scream, turned her palms, and activated her will power. Todd's body floated into the air, completed a 360-degree rotation, and fell heavily to the ground.
Rachel, who was still in shock, turned around and saw Todd lying on the ground with his teeth bared, and became furious: "You almost scared me to death!"
Todd put on an innocent pose on the ground: "You asked me to come to you."
"Tonight, I'm talking about tonight! It's only the afternoon now!" Rachel stretched out her leg and gave Todd another kick: "Don't you always come back after dark? Why did you come back so early today?
?!"
Todd smiled and said: "There are few things to do today, and I can handle them quickly."
After saying this, he stood up and stretched his hands to Rachel's skirt again.
The latter slapped his hand away and rolled his eyes at Todd: "What's the rush? The hot water hasn't been delivered yet."
"Hot water? What do you want hot water for?!"
"I've been so busy lately, don't you plan to take a shower first?"
Todd reacted immediately and said hurriedly: "It's good to take a bath, you should take a bath!"
"I have already ordered my servants to prepare hot water. It will be delivered in about an hour or two."
"An hour or two?!" Todd's face fell instantly: "Well... Rachel... Actually, if you think about it, it doesn't matter if you don't take a shower beforehand for that kind of thing..."
Rachel smiled and pushed away Todd who was approaching: "That's not okay. You go out first and find a place to kill time. Come back when it gets dark."
Todd wanted to argue something, but Rachel pushed him out of the building without any explanation.
Looking at the closed door behind him, Todd sighed helplessly and wandered around the square boredly.
It happened that Ackerman was walking through the square with several gladiators, and when he saw Todd, they all bowed and saluted.
Todd glanced at these people and asked casually: "Where are you going?"
Ackerman scratched the back of his head: "Boss, what I told you before...the tribal gathering."
"oh?"
Ackerman came closer and added in a low voice: "Have you forgotten? The slave girl dances without clothes..."
Todd, who looked depressed, waved his hand vigorously: "Get out!"
After finally wandering outside until it was completely dark, Todd knocked on the door of the small building and heard Rachel's voice coming from inside.
"Come in, the bedroom on the second floor."
Todd suppressed the uncontrollable excitement in his heart, took three steps at a time, and quickly ran up the stairs and walked into the bedroom on the second floor.
The diffuse mist turned the entire room into a dreamlike space, and the faint fragrance of flowers spread to every corner.
Todd walked to the center of the room. A large bathtub two meters long and about eighty centimeters high stood there, exuding clear waves of warm water vapor. The delicate freshly picked petals swayed gently with the water ripples. Dozens of
A candle surrounded the room, emitting a warm and ambiguous light.
Todd called softly: "Rachel?"
After a while, a low reply came from the room: "Get in the tub."
Todd swallowed, took off all his clothes, and walked into the tub with a bit of nervousness and a bit of excitement.
The water temperature is neither too high nor too low, and the amount of water is just enough to reach your chest when you sit in it.
Thoroughly surrounded by the warmth around him, Todd put his arms on both sides of the tub, rested his head on the wooden mat behind him, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, closed his eyes gently, exhaled slowly, and temporarily forgot everything.
troubles. For him, being able to take a rare hot bath after being busy is really one of the great joys in the world.
After his body was completely relaxed, Todd stretched his feet forward and touched a soft object.
"What is it?" Todd was startled and straightened up his upper body. After hesitating for a while, he put his hand into the water and reached forward. His fingertips touched something that looked like black duckweed.
Suddenly, a naked woman emerged from the water in the tub, causing a large splash of water.
Her delicate facial features were flawless, her skin was as white as snow jade, and the blush on her cheeks made people unable to take their eyes away. She was coughing and wheezing constantly after holding her breath for a long time.
Seeing the appearance of the woman in the water clearly, Todd took a breath: "Deirdre?!"
Looking at the man in front of her, Deirdre opened her eyes wide. Her smooth black hair was still dripping with warm water, and her pink cheeks turned red due to shyness. She let out a sigh and quickly covered her exquisite curves with her arms.
Turning around, Qiong's back, which was soft and radiant, faced Todd.
The latter looked at the scene in front of him, his throat was a little dry, and his mind was in confusion: "Why...are you here?"
"I asked her to come."
Rachel's voice sounded behind Todd, and a plump and warm body walked into the tub and pressed tightly against the latter's back.
Seeing the shyness of the woman in front of him and feeling the clinging of the woman behind him, Todd suddenly felt like he was in a dream. Even his words were a bit intermittent: "What on earth is going on with all this...?"
Hearing this, Rachel put her head over Todd's shoulder, and whispered in the latter's ear with her delicate plump lips: "Isn't this a tradition from another world?"
"The tradition of another world?" Todd came back to his senses: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Are you still pretending to be stupid at this time?" Rachel pinched the back of Todd's neck gently with her fingers: "I have seen the treasures you collected. There are a lot of memory mirrors in them, and they are all recorded.
It’s these things…”
Todd was about to cry at this time: "Rachel, I think you have misunderstood. That thing you are talking about is not a tradition at all..."
Deirdre listened to the argument between the two people behind her and looked back cautiously. She happened to meet Todd's eyes and was so frightened that she quickly turned back.
Todd stared at the woman in front of him: "Then how do you explain her matter?"
Rachel stretched out her hand and used her mind to change the direction of Deirdre, who was curled up on the edge of the tub, forcing her to face her: "Todd, this is a poor woman. She has been suffering from psychic powers since she was a child.
Can, be regarded by everyone
As a cursed individual. Do you really think that her father and tribesmen regard her as the same kind? They forbid her from using supernatural powers, completely deny her talent, make her suffer from inferiority and self-blame, and define herself as redundant.
existence."
Rachel looked at the shy and sad face in front of her and said calmly to Todd: "Look at her, talking to the dead and summoning the souls of the dead. Will anyone in this world accept such a woman as a partner?
Perhaps the only person who can bring her happiness and peace is you...or are you going to let her continue to feel sorry for herself and die alone?"
Todd shook his head gently: "Rachel, you may be right, but feelings should not be based on needs."
"So you were worried that she was forced to do it?" Rachel chuckled lightly and said to Deirdre, "Go on, tell him."
Deirdre, who buried her body in the water, blushed and shook her head desperately: "No one...forced me..."
Rachel gently bit Todd's earlobe, looked at the surprised expression close at hand, and murmured: "My love, life is like the fall of night and the setting sun. Take advantage of every moment tonight."
Take every second..."
His arm brought up a splash of water, and the candles in the room were immediately extinguished, leaving only the intertwined souls in the darkness.
