119 Refreshing tea
Smiles, all Yunan could see after he finished his speech was smiles all over Debauchery, there was a sense of gratification coming from them, the most radiant smile was drawn on Leader's lips.
"You learned very well, better than we thought we taught you, however there is a lesson you have yet to experience, power corrupts, it seeds arrogance and dishonesty into your soul, it doesn't matter how you resist it, it's not going away, there are two ways to deal with this corruption, you either let it consume you or you lock it down somewhere that it can not escape."
"I understand" Yunan knew that feeling, he has just experienced it a mere week ago when he dealt with the escorts of his guests, the feeling was good, empowering and fulfilling. No wonder many fall prey to it, Yunan thought to himself, however Yunan had a deterrent planted in him, if he was going to be arrogant in the dungeon, he was going to die sooner or later, this place was made for the weak to become stronger, the moment you become strong, you can not advance in this place anymore.
Yunan had to guard against a new thing now, adding to an already long list of things he should be careful about, however that was not something Yunan was fearful about, his life was more precious than his ego, his reputation or his own image, to live happily for another day was worth more than all of those put together.
Since the test was passed with flying colours Debauchery left the bath with Yunan sandwiched between two happy little girls, while the males were looking like they were getting tired of him getting all the skinship whenever they meet. Outside, the rest were cleaning up the aftermath of the party that lasted all week long. It was time to leave, and make their way to the 20th floor, however there was this cabin for them to relax in as long as they were still around.
After the cleaning was over, everyone sat down and were having refreshing tea, "so what was the very very bad thing?" Asked Leol, "Just a chaos demon serpent, that will devour the world, nothing much", Yunan answered as if he was talking about the morning weather," so that book was how to raise a world devourer?" Asked Lili. "Not really, more like an introduction to becoming a god, with emphasis on evil because it's easier"
To the muscled woman and the newly corrupted nun this was not a conversation you hear while having a refreshing tea, but they have seen some things that were worse than this so they kept quiet, however the next part of the conversation was the last drop.
"What is with you and the ascended anyway? First you date lady luck and woo her, and now some ancient demon sent you his origin story, i am seeing a theme here, next are you going to get into the pants of a love goddess or something?" Reina was too frank as always. " A man needs romance in his life, and like all men a harem is the ultimate romantic dream to realise" responded Yunan. "I can leave a spot open for you in case you feel like joining on the fun".
"Are you mad?" Screamed the two women as they could no longer hold it in, Yunan simply answered "not that i know of, but i am a bit lucky, why are you calling me mad anyway, did i do something crazy?". "Yes you did, you are dealing first hand with an ascended, 2 of them, you don't make deals with the ascended, even toddlers know that, is it worth your soul to go on a date?"
Leol face palmed "he actually went on a date with lady luck and his title is suiter of Fortuna, there is no deals involved, he is just lucky, as for the book, they got it killing a floor boss, again no deals were made, just stupidly good luck" seeing the disbelief on the girls he took a coin and asked to call it, the nun called heads and muscles called tails, "Yunan will get this coin if it lands on the side". The two women looked at him as if looking at a madman, no coin would land on its side and stay still after.
Debauchery made their wagers on the outcome, the match will be decided by three flips of three different coins, and so the first coin rested sideways on a gash that was scratched yesterday in the party, the second coin leaned on a cup and the third one lodged itself between the cushions of the couch half of it showing up. The two women were stunned, they tried 20 more times before they finally understood that this guy was lucky, and he was not even involved.
"This guy can blindfold himself, walk through a mind field and trip on a treasure trove in the middle of it, and every time he gets lucky, something that would short-circuit your brains will happen, the guild master fears him, the pope likes him, he took a goddess to a date, hatched a dragon, and entered the dungeon at level 3 while sharing his luck with 9 others, it's not something that you should think about, or your brain will literally be fried" Dustan made it easier to comprehend for the two women.
"Alright time for you to leave, come back on weekends only, and make sure you are not followed by a dozen caretakers every time you come by, now go away i have training to do" Yunan started sending his guests away, fun was over and it was time for hard work.
Outside the cabin, Leol was surrounded by a contingent of girls who were pushing each other to get to him, turning his mood sour as they clung to him for dear life. Reina had two older gentleman waiting for her, they nothree at Yunan in thankfulness, they were both Kitsune and were probably aware of who Yunan was. Lili had no one waiting for her, the only escort was probably an invisible assistant who Yunan waved at as she came closer to Lili.
