Tales of the Paladin

35 Gaining Some Skills

"Hmmp! Glib-tongue. How can you protect me if I'm stronger than you? Maybe it's going to be the other way around."

Though Rosella was using an unsatisfied tone, she was very happy in her heart.

"Well, you still haven't seen the things I can do."

Yan wore his evil smile and looked at every part and curves of her body with undisguised greed and desire.

"Do you want me to show you?"

"..."

When she heard his vague reply, Rosella thought he was talking about naughty topics. She immediately panicked and hid her blushing face.

"Ye...no! I...I'm not ready for that yet!"

Yan was amused by her reply. He had read her thoughts.

"What are you thinking? I'm talking about how I'm going to show you my fighting skills. Hmm. Can't we just have a pure and innocent conversation? You have a dirty mind. Tsk. Tsk."

She immediately became embarrassed with her reply. She lightly punched his chest.

In a couple of hours, daybreak will come. The both of them didn't sleep but spent the whole midnight flirting and kissing. Yan had now groped every part of her body except for her most intimate part.

"Bad guy. My lips are now swollen and you've already taken advantage of me. You still haven't told me why you're going to kill some people."

Rosella only gained her own control from Yan when her lips started to hurt with all the intense kissing. Yan also stopped his lips but not his hands. They seem to never tire out.

"Well, when we entered the Adventurer's Guild the other day, I've noticed strange men secretly sitting at the back of the bar. Adventurers in these place seemed to only reach Level 30 to Level 35. But I've noticed those men in dark hoods that they were at Level 65 to Level 68. And yesterday, when we were at your office, I've detected a strong individual approaching the town. He was at least Level 72.

I've suspected they're from Stormrein. I think they've gain information and that they're here to go to my village to attack or abduct Rae's family. I've already locked on their auras and I know their current location. They're staying at an inn near here. They've already sent a scout to the village to confirm."

Yan unconsciously let out a murderous glint in his eyes. He loved his Uncle Cain, Aunt May and his little brother, Ashes. He would unhesitatingly kill those who wanted to harm them. His murderous aura instantly vanished and then wore a seductive smile.

"Because of my love for you, I decided to visit you first to ask permission and also gain a wife along the way. Haha!"

Rosella already suspected that Yan had noticed the strong individual that entered the town yesterday but it was only a suspicion. When he confirmed her suspicion, she was shocked. She barely even noticed that individual and it was with the help of an artefact.

Yan obviously didn't possess those kind of artefact so she was very surprised.

"I've also noticed them a little while ago. I didn't thought about it much. But now I heard your story, your theory may be very possible. So, how are you going to do it? Sure you have a handsome face but can you defeat them? I think you're not even 20 years old and those individuals are already professional with their jobs when you were still a baby. What's your level anyway?"

"You're right, I'm still that young. But worry not, I can defeat them alone. A few days ago, I turned 17 and my level is at Level 50. Impressive, right? Hehe."

Yan boasted with a cocky attitude.

"What?!"

Rosella jolted in his lap. She looked at him like he was a monster. She knew he was young and strong, but she never knew her future husband was this young and this strong!

"Impressive indeed. When I was 17, I was barely Level 20 and that was almost 10 years ago. They've called me 'a genius once every hundred years' in the capital. Of course, my current achievements was all the results of the guidance and help of my Godfather. If I'm a genius, then what are you?"

"I'm just a handsome young man. You're husband is super awesome, right?"

"Who's your wife? Hmmp! Even though you achieved that level, it's still far from those individuals level. I can defeat any of them one on one but it will be very hard for me when all of them attack all at once."

"Well, I'm far more impressive that you can imagine. Those individuals are nothing at all. Haha!"

"Well, let's just see. Hmmp."

Rosella thought that Yan was just boasting. But when she remembered who his parents was, she started to rethink.

'Maybe his parents left him something to help him.'

Contrary to her thoughts, Yan didn't receive any thing from his parents as of yet.

"Well, their scout had yet to return. I think they will commence their attack later this evening. I better rest first to conserve energy."

"Right. I'm very sleepy now. I'm going to rest too. I'll be joining you this evening lest anything will happen to you."

Yan quickly thought of something.

"How about you return to the inn with me? Sleep by my side."

Rosella blushed. She was about to say yes but hesitated.

"Your Rae is there. Won't it be a problem if she gets angry with both of us?"

"Don't worry. Rae is a gentle. She won't get angry."

After hearing many sentences of Yan, Rosella eventually got convinced by him.

Yan carried Rosella in a princess carry. She blushed but loved every second of it. She wrapped her hands on his neck and enjoyed the moment. They've entered their room in through the open window.

When Yan and Rosella entered the room, Rae opened her eyes. She looked at Yan for a moment then proceeded to stare at Rosella for a long time.

With her stare, Rosella started to fidget.

Rae only sighed and then smiled.

Yan and Rosella relaxed. Yan was not scared of Rae becoming angry but he couldn't help but feel relax when she accepted Rosella.

Yan grabbed Snow then threw him to the floor. Snow was angry at first but ultimately decided to let him off. He continued his sleep in the corner of the room.

Yan slept in the middle of the bed with two beautiful ladies on each side. Both of them hugged him and made his arms their pillows. He was living the dream.

Yan wanted to do naughty things but he noticed that the two ladies were already asleep. He can only sighed.

"Catriona, you said that I have to pay you money to gain skills, right?"

[Yes, Master. You have to offer money to me to learn skills.]

"Well, right now, I have 290 gold coins in my pocket. Can I learn some skills?"

[Yes, Master. If I add all the cost of the skills from Level 1 to Level 50, it costs more than 10,000 gold coins. Master's current money is far from enough.]

"What, that much?!"

[Yes, Master.]

Yan knew how difficult it was to gained money in this world. And he also have to buy skills for Rae in the capital.

"Well, I will use 200 gold coins to buy some skills."

200 gold coins instantly vanished inside Yan's storage ring. He then felt knowledge rushing to his brain.
