Chapter 96: The distance between the two people is three centimeters

But facing Le Cheng, she could not do so.

Because the other party is a Divine Envoy.

Even if her power was above Le Cheng’s, behind him stood a deity!

Both publicly and privately, it was impossible for her to tear her face against Le Cheng.

This was what troubled Morgan the most.

"However, rest assured, Your Majesty, after all, I, Le, am a gentleman. If you truly do not wish it, I will not force it, although I think you might enjoy it as well."

"I? Enjoy?" Morgan sneered disdainfully, "I am not one of those who lust after carnal pleasures, if not because you are a Divine Envoy... hmph."

"Is that so? Then let’s make a bet."

"What bet?"

"I believe with my charm, you will definitely fall in love with me and willingly throw yourself into my arms. If I lose, then..." Le Cheng thought for a moment and said, "If I lose, from now on I will be your dog, doing whatever you ask without a single word of refusal."

"Really?"

"Truly, I can swear on the name of Mother Gaia."

"... And if I lose?"

Le Cheng shrugged and smiled, "If you lose, then it’s as if nothing happened. I won’t make any demands on you."

Ah? Is there such a favorable deal in this world? Wouldn’t I be in an invincible position?

Morgan’s eyes lit up, just looking at the stakes of the bet, regardless of winning or losing, it seems she has nothing to lose. The worst outcome is falling in love with Le Cheng, which would fulfill the prophecy, but if she wins...

Morgan was somewhat tempted. She originally didn’t know how to deal with Le Cheng, and this was undeniably a great opportunity.

"What about the method of the bet?"

"That’s simple. You say you are not one to lust after carnal pleasures, since you are so confident, we can just repeat our previous actions until dawn tomorrow. During this time, as long as you can maintain your stance unwavered, then you win."

"No way!" As soon as Le Cheng finished speaking, Morgan immediately refused, "If I agree to this, wouldn’t it allow you to take advantage of me completely."

"Then let’s change it to just kissing."

Morgan frowned again, "How is that different from the previous method?"

"This won’t work, that won’t work..." Le Cheng paced a few times, suddenly slapped his thigh and said through gritted teeth, "Alright, I’ll take a step back. We’ll only make eye contact and chat, with no physical touch during the period. If I accidentally touch you, automatically I lose, but conversely, you can’t sleep or avoid my gaze, and you must answer every question I ask. This should be okay, right?"

Is it that simple?

Upon hearing this, Morgan was shocked again, even incredulous at Le Cheng’s generosity.

Although she and Sigma have no marital relations, nevertheless, she has been the nominal wife of Sigma and the Queen of the Empire for many years. She has gradually become accustomed to such status, suddenly indulging in physical intimacy with another man was mentally unwelcoming.

Moreover, with what happened just now, she really wasn’t confident about her body.

What if, in an oversight, things escalated?

But, if it’s just eye contact and chatting, what’s there to object to?

To avoid overlooking some details leading to unwittingly falling into Le Cheng’s schemes, Morgan pondered over the method of the bet in her mind, then asked, "You said I must answer every one of your questions, can they only be the truth?"

Le Cheng shook his head, "It doesn’t matter true or false, your every word can be a lie."

"What if I accidentally touch your body?"

"That certainly counts as your loss."

Morgan silently nodded; this was relatively fair.

Then, Morgan asked a few more questions to make sure there were no tricks before she finally nodded, "Very well, I accept your terms. But, you must document it and swear by your deity."

"No problem."

Le Cheng smiled, took the pen and paper from Morgan, and wrote down the entire terms of the bet and the stakes, and signed his name. Afterward, he swore to the heavens in the name of Gaia.

Morgan looked over it carefully, then also wrote down her name.

"Good, with this, the bet is established. Now, Queen, let’s go to bed and rest."

Le Cheng collected the papers and then pointed towards the bed not far away.

Morgan hesitated slightly but eventually walked over there.

Le Cheng had made many concessions in the entire bet, naturally gaining some privileged choices. Completing the process of the bet on the bed was his proposal and given the significant advantage he already had, Morgan found it difficult to refuse.

When the two reached the bedside, Morgan said, "You turn around first."

"Okay."

Le Cheng honestly turned around and even closed his eyes.

He then heard the rustling of clothes behind him.

"It’s ready."

Le Cheng turned around again, and his eyes lit up. Morgan had already changed out of her large ceremonial gown and into a light, thin silk nightgown. Here, one must praise the Empire’s textile technology again. Although the nightgown wasn’t to the degree of lingerie, the light-colored material tightly wrapped around Morgan’s curvy body. You could vaguely see a hint of flesh through the fabric, making her exude an incredibly seductive charm.

"Queen, you are truly beautiful," Le Cheng sincerely praised.

A slight redness appeared on Morgan’s face. Then, without saying a word, she lay down. Though she tried to maintain calm and composed, her movements were clearly a bit stiff, especially when she turned her body to face Le Cheng, her limbs trembling unnaturally.

Then, Le Cheng also took off his jacket and lay down on the outside of the bed.

The two faced each other, their bodies no more than thirty centimeters apart.

Morgan originally thought that this method of betting was greatly advantageous to her. As long as she remained resolute in will, winning would be a breeze. However, once she actually lay down, she realized that was not the case.

Because she was not allowed to sleep or look away, she had to keep watching Le Cheng all the time. And by looking at his face from such a close distance, she realized his face had more of a killing effect than she imagined.

Even just eye-to-eye, she felt her heartbeat begin to accelerate thumpingly.

It was too close!

Le Cheng smiled, admiring the peerless beauty beside him. Her white face was as smooth and luminous as jade, her tender lips like cherry blossoms, and her deep blue eyes seemed endlessly deep, with long eyelashes that occasionally trembled slightly. Each feature combined to form a stunningly beautiful face, like a perfect piece of exquisite art, intoxicating to behold.

"It smells so nice."

Le Cheng took a light sniff and then moved his body closer to Morgan.

Morgan’s eyes widened, lying still, daring not to move.

Twenty centimeters...

Fifteen centimeters...

Ten centimeters...

Five centimeters...

Every time Le Cheng moved closer, her breathing became more rapid. Finally, when the distance between them was less than three centimeters, the hot breath overwhelmed her, giving her the illusion she could suffocate at any moment.

How could it be... so close?!

Morgan’s heart tensed up to its limits. This was the first time in her life she had been so close to a man. As she breathed in the air exhaled by Le Cheng, she felt her body increasingly heating up, the beast that she had always suppressed inside seemed ready to awaken at any moment.

It was then when she finally realized that the difficulty of this bet far exceeded her expectations, even more so than when Le Cheng had previously held and played with her foot.

But now, there was no turning back.

As Le Cheng inhaled the intoxicating scent from her mouth, he smiled and said, "Queen, let’s have a heart-to-heart talk."
