“That’s weird. Where could she have gone?” Skadi muttered. She then pushed open the door to the


    master bedroom and noticed the bulging nket on the bed. Worried, she walked over and said with


    concern, Hera, I heard you’re not feeling well…”


    Before she could finish her sentence, she caught a strange, pungent smell in the air. “What’s that


    smell?”


    Skadi sniffed and fanned the air as she walked closer.


    Hera opened her sleepy eyes when she saw Skadi before closing themzily again. Suddenly, her


    brows furrowed as she abruptly opened her eyes again. “Skadi.. how did you… get in?”


    She covered herself up to the neck with the nket quickly, not wanting Skadi to see any lingering


    traces of the intimacy she and Nash had shared.


    Noticing the redness of Hera’s face, Skadi reached out and toured her forehead. “Are you running a


    fever?”


    Hera shook her head. “N-No, not at all!”


    Skadi nodded, her expression rxing. Seeing that Skadi was short inspecting her bedding, Hera


    breathed a sigh of relief.


    However, the next moment, Skadi suddenly bent down and lifted the nket. “Hey-”


    “Ah! What are you doing?!” Hera screamed and yanked the nket back. Her face turned even redder.


    The scene before Skadi was stark. Was that… blood on the nket?


    Récalling the smell just now, realization dawned on Skadi. “So, your and Nash…”


    Hera’s head shrank into the nket as sheined, “Why are you so annoying? Get out, I need to


    get dressed!”


    Skadi crouched down curiously and asked, “How was it? Did it feel good?”


    “Why, you little… Get out!” Hera blushed as she yelled shyly.


    Skadi roared withughter. “Alright, alright. I’ll wait for you outside!”


    She left the room as soon as she finished speaking.


    Hera bit her lip and climbed out of bed before slowly making her way into the bathroom for a shower. In


    the bathroom, she looked at the bruises and marks on her body with a smile. Finally, she felt like a


    woman.


    She even hesitated to wash away the scent Nash had left on her. However, she felt very ufortable


    after sweating so much night.


    Skadi was standing at the door, her phone almost out of battery. However, Hera took her time before


    finally opening the door.


    Skadi sidled up to Hear and asked, “How was it? Did Nash impress you? Was he done in three


    seconds?”


    Hera recalled the madness ofst night and blushed. “It wasn’t like that at all. He was really good!”


    Chuckling, Skadi teased, “I can tell. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have trouble walking!”

    Nash was a martial artist with physical qualities far beyond the average person, and he also possessed


    extraordinary medical skills. He had likely conditioned his body to be extremely powerful long ago.


    Hera gave Skadi a disdainful look and asked, “Can we not talk about this topic? How about discussing


    Father Cillian instead?”


    Pouting, Skadi said, “What’s there to talk about that stupid priest?”


    “Didn’t you adore him before? What’s with the indifference now?” Heralughed yfully. Up until


    recently, Skadi often forwarded videos of Father Cillian to her, iming she must win him over.


    “Forget it. That guy doesn’t know how to appreciate the finer things in life. I confessed to him and he


    said priests aren’t allowed to be involved in worldly matters!


    “Later, when I went to Quiet Winds Church to find him, those stinky priests didn’t even let me through


    the gate. Can you believe how rude he is?”


    Skadi got angry just mentioning it, her face turning as red as an apple.


    Hera chuckled. “Father Cillian is, after all, the head of Quiet Winds Church. It’s a ce for self-


    cultivation, and as the head, he naturally has to lead by example by abandoning worldly desires and


    focusing on practicing the Path!”


    Skadi sighed softly. “Do you think I’ll never get married? Just when I finally started feeling something,


    the Smiling Grim Reaper turned out to be your man while the second man I admire is just so ascetic. I


    want a simple and straightforward love. Why is it so difficult?”


    Her grandfather often said she would not find a husband if she did not change her personality. She was


    from a martial arts family. Just how restrained could she be?


    “Sometimes, it’s fate and you just have to ept it. Don’t force it when it’s not your fate!”


    Heraforted Skadi, saying, “When the time is right, your other half will appear, just like how Nash


    appeared in my life!”


    Skadi sighed. “I hope so!”


    The two continued chatting as they walked downstairs. When they reached downstairs, Bianca stood


    up, smiled, and greeted, “Hera…”


    When she noticed Skadi supporting Hera, Bianca became nervous and asked, “Are you sick?”


    Skadi chuckled. “She’s not sick at all. Nash just gave her some thorough lovin’.”
