There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!

Chapter 182: That Drunken Brawl That Went Down To History (6)

Worrying silence enveloped the entire open field after such a loud boom. The audience standing far from the battle tried to steady their position after feeling the short quake on the ground. That is how powerful Feren’s attack was.

"This Old Feren really went overboard this time!" An elderly exclaimed, fanning the mixture of dust and ashes that flew towards them.

The impact created a strong breeze of wind that spread around the field, extinguishing the fire in the process and at the same time, causing small debris to spread.

"Oh, Moon Goddess! Did the Moon Elf Lord manage to escape that?"

"I’m not sure, before the impact I still saw the Moon Elf Lord doing his defensive stance... I don’t think he..." Hylolas replied. Because he didn’t indulge much in the liquor he is one among the sober patriarchs.

Realizing the situation, Hylolas sprinted towards the land where a huge piece of ground was both cracked and missing.

Nothing happened to the Moon Elf Lord, right?

The crowd followed them, not minding the possible danger of going towards the center of the fight.

The nearer they reached the gigantic gavel that was made of Adamantium, they realized that something wasn’t right.

"Is this the usual size of Master Feren’s Heaven’s Judgement? This reminds me of the height of a stone golem!"

"No, it improved." Dan, the patriarch of the Adriha Clan responded. This only proves the effectiveness of the Moon Elf Lord’s training manual. "This must cost a lot of nature’s energy."

"And it landed faster than what I remember before. That’s why I am uneasy," Hylolas, the first one to run towards the battlefield, added.

Hearing this statement from Hylolas made them snap out of their awe and resume looking around.

Not long later, they found Old Feren on the ground, asleep and snoring due to energy exhaustion. The delayed effects of the wine kicked in, hence his current pathetic state. The Hylolas and the others find it hard to believe that this is the old man who just caused a major destruction.

Legland and Nicol were also found. They are in a better condition compared to the former. Only their appearance is far from their usual neat and handsome self, both of them are covered with dust and soot since they, themselves struggle to avoid Feren’s attack.

"I think I saw some light appearing near the Moon Elf Lord before the impact. He must have done something to avoid the attack," Nicol said to the worried people of Luis.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. "Let’s just look for our lord," Hylolas said.

Meanwhile, the Moon Elf Lord they are looking for is also worried about his own fate.

Forget about the duel.

Forget if he could win against his subordinate and showcase the strength of his people to those skeptics.

Luis, himself, is not sure if Xagrien would let him pass this situation unscathed.

From the middle of the lake, they flew back to shore. Luis tried hard to stall time by keeping his silence. But the moment their feet hit the cracked ground, his man turned him around so that he would directly face him.

’Holy shit,’ his mind uttered that like a prayer.

Xagrien’s eyes looked like he would devour him any minute if he still refused to answer his question.

Luis was torn between telling the truth or just bullshitting his way because he has a hunch that Xagrien wouldn’t like to hear that he was doing a major duel while he is under the influence.

’And it’s not like I could just easily say that I drank a lot of wine. For sure, he knows that he is an alcoholic...’ Luis’ eyes lit up as his thoughts guided him to a path that he can use as an excuse.

Xagrien shouldn’t know that the Bloodberry Wine is a strong beverage, right? It was said to be a prized exclusive wine from Ris Clan.

’Oh my God, I am so bright,’ Luis smugly pursed his lips.

With new confidence, Luis intimately touched Xagrien’s big and veiny arms and caressed them with a lingering touch. Of course, the alluring smile was painted beautifully on his lips.

"I did drink something and it’s nothing but a common fruit wine. You know it is a celebration so some brought liquor with them. I cannot stop myself from accepting it when it was offered to me since it’s been a while since I tasted booze. Back in my previous world, drinks like that are literally everywhere that’s why I kind of missed it," Luis found himself rumbling out of nervousness that he was trying so hard to hide.

Xagrien was just silently watching him with a blank expression. But Luis could make out that there is a hidden emotion lying dormant in the man’s eyes.

’Wait a minute, don’t I look more suspicious if I keep talking like this?’ Luis thought and he hastily but flawlessly (in his opinion), shifted his gears and said, "Anyway, what keeps you busy? I haven’t seen you for an entire day. I kept a portion of good food for you. You can eat it later once we go home."

The Moon Elf Lord cunningly made his last word sound sweet to appeal to his lover.

However, no matter how sweet his mouth was, it didn’t distract Xagrien in the slightest. He has always been the man who would do his best to achieve what he wants and this principle applies to this situation as well.

"What kind of wine is it?" His no-nonsense manly voice made Luis momentarily stiff.

This question caught him off guard.

In addition, Xagrien didn’t mean to let him go so easily. His chin is pinched by his lover and then tilted his head up, making their eyes locked towards each other. Making Luis’ heart jolt a little.

It’s like the man is saying, "If you can play the honey trap, then I can do that too!"

"Ha-hahaha," Luis did his best not to make his laugh sound forced but he obviously failed. Of course, the Moon Elf Lord is something who wouldn’t back down but his confidence in his alibi is dwindling. "It’s nothing. Just that typical sweet fruit wine. Hehehe."

Luis discreetly crossed his fingers in hopes that he wouldn’t be found out. But that was his short-sighted as Xagrien noticed it.

"Why are you making that finger?"

"This is-" Luis meant to give a made-up answer only to be interrupted by his mate.

"Luis." Xagrien dismissed him with firmness. "If you would say something to evade my question, then keep it."

The silver-haired man heaved a sigh. "Let’s just go home. You must have enough fun tonight. I will prepare a change of clothes for you. The liquor’s smell is quite strong, I don’t think you could sleep well in that."

After saying that, Xagrien let his bearer go and walked out. Each of his steps was stable but there was a depressing vibe lingering in the air.

Luis watched the leaving back of his lover as realization dawned upon him. He is caught red-handed by his lover and he’s caught miserably at that.

He felt a pang in his chest as a wave of guilt crashed onto him.

Who told him he was bright? If it is possible to turn back time, then he would gladly do that to smack the head of his past self.

"Xagrien!" Luis ran towards his lover without any second thoughts. The man didn’t even bother to stop or look back. He just carries on with his walk.

The tall male god’s back looked small from Luis’ point of view. Like a wounded cub trying to look strong despite the injury.

Xagrien is mad. ’Holy shit.’

This is the first time that his lover expressed his anger at him and Luis doesn’t know what to do!

The NBSB (no boyfriend since birth) gay is clueless about how to pacify his sulking daddy.

A little more desperate, Luis ran faster. They reached the area near the massive adamantium hammer but he doesn’t give a glance at it at all.

"Xagrien!" Luis shamelessly latched himself on the back of his lover.

"What are you doing, my lord? Let go."

Xagrien calmly said, his hands holding the pair of slender and fair arms that snaked around his waist.

"I’m sorry, I lied to you. I... I drank quite a lot of Bloodberry Wine and it seems that it is a little high in alcohol content... That is why I am a little impulsive in deciding to do the brawl." Luis’ explanation was muffled since he planted his face on Xagrien’s hardback.

It was none of his concern if he overused the word "little" because he admits that it is the truth. His face is a little flushed in confessing his shortcomings.

Unbeknownst to the Moon Elf Lord, there is a slight smile on his face. "I know, I heard it from the others. I was watching your unparalleled dodging skills and I was thankful that is the only thing that you did. More than that will make me go mad, Luis."

Luis is a little confused about his lover’s words. "What do you mean?"

Xagrien untangled his bearer’s arms and faced Luis, his face was completely serious, "Did it ever strike you that there is a possibility that you are pregnant?"

Luis looked at Xagrien as if the man had grown multiple heads. "Babe, babies don’t grow overnight we-"

He intends to give his handsome and hot mate a short sex education but it was interrupted by collective exclamation from their back.

"Our Moon Elf Lord is pregnant?!"
