Infinite Paradise
Chapter 33 - 23

Chapter 33: 23

The air carried a familiar scent that allowed Le Cheng to immediately discern where he was. While he couldn’t pinpoint the exact location, there was no doubt this was his beloved Texas.

Why not Saint Elizabeth?

Le Cheng had no idea; perhaps Infinite Paradise had its own plans.

Now that he was back in Texas, he planned to pay a visit to an old flame.

It was already night, and without a cell phone on him, Le Cheng couldn’t call a ride or pinpoint his location. Fortunately, Texans are famously bold, and after waiting by the road for a bit, a sedan soon pulled up.

The car wasn’t even close before the intense rock music reached Le Cheng’s ears, blaring through the windows. The driver was a young man with a dyed hairstyle and tattoos, looking like a decent chap. When Le Cheng signaled that he wanted a ride, the driver laughed heartily and flipped him the bird in a friendly manner.

Le Cheng chuckled, and as the sedan passed by, he casually pulled open the passenger door.

The driver was so frightened that he floored the gas pedal and the steering wheel spun around three times. Then, shaking, he took out two leaves from beneath the car seat and handed them over to Le Cheng respectfully and obsequiously, "Bro, want a smoke?"

Le Cheng curled his lip disapprovingly, "Your stuff is too mild. Try mine instead."

With that, he pulled two chocolate-colored pills from his pocket.

Everything he brought from Infinite Paradise was stowed in his player’s backpack, including the ghost clothes he’d been wearing. The only items he carried with him were two bottles of locally made aphrodisiacs.

The driver skeptically eyed the chocolate pill until Le Cheng crunched on his own, then he put it in his mouth, reassured. A strong warm surge rose from his lower belly as if his entire being was ignited.

"Bro, where did you buy these pills? They’re so thrilling!"

Le Cheng just smiled without a word, proud of the Paradise-branded pills that took effect so quickly. It was a shame he was completely immune to aphrodisiacs himself; he only tasted them for the flavor, but... perhaps Elena would enjoy them.

"Bro, I can’t take it anymore, can I jerk off in the car?"

"Do whatever you want, I don’t mind."

"Okay, bro... ohhh, here it comes, it’s coming!"

Over half an hour later, the sedan stopped in a residential area of Dallas. After bidding a reluctant farewell to the driver, Le Cheng quickly arrived at a familiar house and gently knocked on the door.

The lights inside were still on, but it took a long while before a woman’s voice came from inside.

"Honey, is that your package?"

"No, it’s your package," Le Cheng replied.

With a creak, the door opened, revealing a woman in a white bathrobe, her beautiful features radiating youthfulness, and her curvaceous figure highlighting her ample, burgeoning business line. Her slightly damp blonde hair cascaded down her back, and at the sight of Le Cheng, her wary face immediately lit up with a joyous smile.

"Dear Cheng, you finally came back!"

The woman, overcome with excitement, threw herself into Le Cheng’s arms and planted an enthusiastic kiss on him.

Moments later, Le Cheng was holding onto Elena’s smooth shoulders, having walked into the house.

Leaning on his chest, Elena complained as they walked, "Cheng, you have no idea how upset I’ve been recently. I heard you were at a public trial, so I rushed back from Japan. But by the time I got back to Texas, you had been taken to Washington D.C. Then I went to Saint Elizabeth to see you, but the people there were so rude. When they found out I was there to see you, they kicked me out... Cheng, I thought I’d never see you again."

"It’s just a small matter; I’ve always said I would return eventually."

Le Cheng smiled faintly, gathering from Elena’s words that exactly seven days had passed since he left Saint Elizabeth, indicating that the timeline in the dungeon world matched the real world. It made him wonder how people in Saint Elizabeth reacted to his sudden disappearance.

He considered that he should take the opportunity to go back and investigate thoroughly.

The two of them sat on the couch for a while, enjoying each other’s company. Suddenly, Elena looked up at him passionately, "Cheng, it’s been nearly a month since we’ve done it, I miss you so much~~"

Because she had just taken a shower, Elena’s body was filled with a fragrance. Enjoying the warm scent in his arms, Le Cheng couldn’t help but feel a bit of interest and patted her gently, "Alright, then you go prepare."

Elena excitedly stood up, returned to the bedroom, and after a series of rummaging sounds, she soon knelt in front of Le Cheng with a box, presenting it like a treasure with her face full of expectation.

Le Cheng looked down and saw the box containing a variety of props... ropes, whips, candles, gags, collars, blindfolds, rubber handcuffs, black stockings, furry tails, and all sorts of balls and horns - a total of over twenty items.

Le Cheng remarked, "You’re playing with more and more variety now."

Elena happily responded, "I went to Japan for a business trip and took the opportunity to learn from the local sisters. I’ve mastered a few new techniques that will definitely satisfy you, Cheng."

"Then I’ll be looking forward to it," Le Cheng said, as he caressed Elena’s smooth cheek with a smile.

He and Elena had met six months ago. Because of an unfortunate experience in her childhood, Elena developed a strong phobia of men. Even a light handshake or eye contact with a man would cause her intense discomfort, which had a huge negative impact on her daily life and work.

Even though she was a graduate of the prestigious Harvard University and had a decent job, she was leading a miserable life and had even been accused of gender discrimination, suffering from much exclusion and malice.

To avoid harassment from men, Elena, who lived alone, specifically disguised herself as a married woman. Whenever a stranger knocked on the door, she would call out for her "husband" to provide psychological comfort for herself and to deter those with bad intentions by making them think there was a man in the house.

But even so, her life did not improve much.

She had four suicide attempts – one time by poisoning, but did not succeed due to an insufficient dose of sleeping pills. The second time she tried to slit her wrists, but due to lack of skill and fear, she cried while cutting without inflicting much harm. Instead, she startled her neighbors who thought she was being robbed and called the police, saving her life.

The third time, Elena decided to jump from a building, thinking it was the simplest method. Just find a tall building and jump. However, while she was looking for a building to jump from, she accidentally twisted her ankle, cried out in excruciating pain, and called an ambulance, spending eight thousand dollars to get her ankle treated.

The fourth time, with a gritted resolve, Elena decided to shoot herself. However, on the very night she resolved to commit suicide, Le Cheng suddenly burst into her home, which was undoubtedly a terrifying event for someone with androphobia like Elena. So, the gun originally meant for suicide was then aimed at Le Cheng.

Luckily, Le Cheng was very agile, managed to incapacitate Elena following a flurry of movement.

Afterwards, having learned about Elena’s experiences, Le Cheng decided to apply a "fight fire with fire" approach to treatment... The logic of this treatment plan was simple: if Elena could experience the most terrifying man in the world, how could other men scare her?

At first, Elena hesitated, since it meant sacrificing her virgin body. But then she thought, she wasn’t even afraid of death, so why care about this? Thus, with a "dead horse as living horse" mentality, she eventually agreed to Le Cheng’s treatment plan.

The effect of the treatment was remarkable after just one night.

The good news: Elena’s male phobia was gone.

The bad news: she had developed an even more special masochism.

In any case, as a post-treatment service, Le Cheng tried living with her for half a year. In that time, Elena’s masochism not only did not improve, but also became more pronounced. Without that special interest during intimate times, she was unable to feel pleasure.

This was a disease, but he could no longer treat it.

Fortunately, this condition only manifested when she was with Le Cheng. Now without the androphobia, Elena’s everyday life and work never ran into problems again, and she lived very happily every day.

After a while, the two went to the bedroom to start playing games on the bed.

This was an open-ended role-playing game independently developed by Le Cheng and Elena, set in a fantasy world called "Double Bed". Le Cheng played a traveler with the power of seven elements and encountered Elena portraying the Water God Fulena with the Water Attribute. As their paths and battles intertwined, they gradually uncovered the underlying truths.

Le Cheng first launched an attack with the Thunder Element. Thunder meets water, instantly putting Elena into a state of shock. Not to be outdone, she conducted the Thunder Element back to Le Cheng. Just as he was about to attack with the Grass Attribute, thunder encountered grass, resulting in an explosive reaction.

Then, Le Cheng consecutively deployed the Fire Element, Ice Element, Thunder Element, Wind Element, and Grass Element attacks.

Don’t ask why there’s no Rock; the orphan element doesn’t deserve to react!

As Le Cheng relentlessly advanced, Elena quickly became overwhelmed, with her body undergoing a series of elemental reactions... evaporating, melting, overloading, electrifying, Burst, Ferocious Burst, Super Energization, and finally being spread throughout her body with the Wind Element.

Under this barrage of attacks, Elena’s mind turned blank, with her health and stamina bars rapidly depleting.

Seeing that Elena was on the verge of collapsing, Le Cheng finally activated his ultimate move. With a massive influx of Grass Element, combined with Elena’s Water Attribute, countless grass seeds burst and exploded inside her...
