The sun began to look like it was about to fall asleep, as seen from the already reddened sky.
The tall trees swayed from the cold air that descended from Wolf Slope Mountain.
The creeping animals returned to their hiding places for the night and waiting the white mist to come.
Even so, not all creatures hide when the sky turns red. There are still some of them who roam around looking for prey to fill their empty stomachs.
The cold night will torture those who sleep on an empty stomach. But there are also those who are still not hiding because they want to see the beauty of the sleeping sun.
They are the bravest of the bravest. They know the risks but they do it anyway. The desire to commit suicide is possible but sometimes the sight of a reddened sky and the sun starting to sleep is the price that deserves a life.
However, there are also those who go out at dusk not because they want to find food or enjoy the scenery. They came out that dusk with the excuse of wanting to go home quickly.
Strange isn't it... If you want to go home, why don't you go straight home?
But Moku knew if he went home today or tomorrow he and she would end up in a fight anyway. Therefore he decided to complete his mission of inviting the alraune to join before heading home.
p
If he continues to linger then there is a chance that he will come home with just to see his already born baby. Moku forgot to count Nevare's gestational age, but their child would likely be born in less than a few weeks.
Moku doesn't know how much anger Nevare gets when he doesn't come home when she has already given birth and plus he comes home with two new wives.
He took a deep breath and cursed his fate. Sometimes a leader cannot control how many wives he will have. Many things are the factor such as marital relations with influential families or for the sake of peace between two groups.
Plus Moku is an orc. In any world, a handsome orc like Moku can't only have one wife, right???
He took another deep breath. Even if he lived in his old world maybe Moku would also have many women. He is strong, powerful, influential, and handsome. These four reasons will make a strong reason to have more than one wife.
After all, this was probably payment for him because in his previous life he had never had a wife or children. Sex is just like a thirst quencher for him. So it's natural that when he lives in a new world he wants to have many wives and many children, right???
Moku tries to find an excuse to justify his decision to make Nezena and Nerphyl his new wife.
Moku took another deep breath.
"Moku, why are you taking a deep breath? Are you tired? I'm sorry I can't run fast and you have to carry me" Nezena who was being carried by Moku like a princess looked guilty.
Since they wanted to arrive at the Toxic Jungle —the place where the alraune tribe lives— before sunset, Moku decided to speed up their journey by running.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, Nezena and the goblins were unable to match the running speed of the orcs. So Moku decided for the orcs to carry them.
And of course, it was Moku who carried Nezena.
"It's not a prob—" Moku wanted to answer but was cut off by a sylph queen who was sitting casually on his shoulder.
"You as a mana species should be ashamed to be carried by a monster. Why are you so weak? You really enjoy it so much that you don't look 'Holy'.. oh Nezena (Holy Queen)" Nerphyl sneered at Nezena.
"What do you mean by not looking 'Holy'? It's only natural for a husband to hold his wife like a princess affectionately. You are the one who really troubles Moku, don't you have wings? Why don't you flap your butterfly wings.. Oh.. Nerphyl (Fairy Queen)" Nezena snorted.
Nerphyl didn't want to lose, with her hands on her knees she puffed out her chest and snorted "hufft... What do you know? You've never been a real queen! It's natural for a queen to sit on her king's shoulders!"
"How do you know that? Haven't you been married before? I doubt your fairyness!" Nezena pointed at Nerphyl's small face with her index finger.
Nerphyl slaped off Nezena's index finger and glared "What do you mean by doubting!! I'm fairy from head to toe! I'm more a fairy than your whole body!"
"What do you say?!! say it again?!!" Nezena is angry.
"What!" Nerphyl snorted.
"What!!" Nezena was furious.
"What!!!" Nerphyl was furious.
They glared at each other before looking away.
Moku who was in the middle of two raging lionesses was dripping with cold sweat.
He remembered the advice of his friend who has more than one wife 'Never.. Never... I repeat again, Never.... sit with more than one wife.. if you do that, You will find hell is colder than you think!'
At this moment Moku understood what his friend meant. Moku's ears, heart, and mind were hot to the point of burning. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief that the two of them had fallen silent, Nerphyl suddenly snorted.
"I understand why Nezena was carried by Moku because she is his wife. But what I don't understand is why this short green creature was carried as well?" Nerphyl with her eyes closed glanced at Tam who was tightly gripping Moku's neck so she wouldn't fall.
Nezena who looked away also turned around and glared at Tam who was hugging Moku's neck.
"ehhh... eh. no other orcs can't carry me.. I mean... Swa has carried Ez and Laya has to monitor from the tree so he can't carry the extra burden.. uh.. like that" said Tam shyly embarrassed.
Tam felt intimidated by Nerphyl and Nezena's stares, her eyes rolling around trying to find the best reason from inside her brain.
"Can't you get on Swa's back? I'm sure Swa won't mind!" Nezena squinted in disbelief at Tam's answer.
"ah..eh..uh..ehh.." Tam didn't know what to say.
"huft.. you shouldn't even think about approaching Moku. A king's wife should be chosen carefully. I'm sure the orcs have no knowledge of this.
The wives of human kings are of very good quality, they are highly educated and very graceful. This is because the wife of the king is a symbol of the glory of the kingdom.
huft... I'm sure the orcs won't understand this. Well, I'll make a committee that aims to select and educate your future wife. I'm sure with my knowledge, our future kingdom will not be belittled." Nerphyl puffed out her chest proudly.
"Who gave you the right to do that?! You yourself only became Moku's wife after threatening with sylph loyalty. I as the first wife deserve to do the task.
I will choose your future wife who has a sincere heart to worship The One. They will become someone who is pure-hearted and sincere." Nezena patted her chest making her luscious breasts wobble.
"What do you say?!! say it again?!!" Nerphyl is angry.
"What!" Nezena snorted.
"What!!" Nerphyl was furious.
"What!!!" Nezena was furious.
At first, Moku thought these two women were two mature women who had maturity and calm, but Moku was wrong, really wrong.
He had been so presumptuous to think that he knew what women really think.
Nerphyl lost all her calmness and grace as this journey began and the sylphs could no longer see her. Perhaps this is her true nature while her poise and grace are what she exhibits as a sylph queen.
Meanwhile, Nezena lost her composure and authority when Nerphyl forced him to become her husband. It was possible that if Tam hadn't restrained Nezena, she would have challenged Nerphyl into a twenty-round fight.
Moku only hopes that his regeneration ability can prevent his ears from becoming deaf from the two lionesses roaring at each other.
But sometimes God likes to prank his creatures.
"Eh.. you're not Moku's first wife Nezena. He already has five other human women in his tent" Swa who was running in the front suddenly jumped in.
Suddenly the atmosphere became cold like a blizzard on an iceberg.
"Five girls?!!!!" Nerphyl staring at Moku with her eyelids trembled violently and almost opened.
"Human girl?!!!!" Nezena who looked away turned so quickly that a crackling sound could be heard from her neck.
'This is hell!! The fucking deepest hell!!' Moku cursed in his heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMoku doesn't understand men who dream of owning a harem. Don't they understand that just one Nevare made his head feel like it was going to explode and now he has two more 'Ne'.
Moku also believes that harem fans are fetishes and masochists who must be burned down in hell before being released only to be put into a deeper hell.
"Well.. yeah.. Moku has five girls waiting for him at the Dawnmist Tribe, one of which is even pregnant with Moku's first child. We cheered when we heard the news of her pregnancy"
Swa, who either couldn't read the atmosphere or really wanted to throw his brother in the pit of hell continued to chatter and make the atmosphere even tenser.
"Pregnant!!!!!" Nerphyl's eyes were almost half open and she started tugging at Moku's ears hard.
"Human Woman!!!!!" Nezena's anger was unstoppable, she started gripping Moku's collar tightly.
'Can you shut the fuck up!!! I will punch your face until our mother won't recognize you even if she comes back to life and has an inner eye!' Moku could only curse his brother in his heart.
"Ah...but you guys take it easy. You won't be the sixth or seventh wife anyway. Moku says he only needs Nevare, he will return the other four girls to the tribe.
After all, our brother over there is in love with Lina the tailor hahaha" Swa smiled and glanced at his brother who was jumping from one tree to another.
"Shut the fuck up Swa! You better pay attention to the road ahead, if we ever get into a poisonous field, I really will punch your face until our mother won't recognize you even if she comes back to life and has inner eyes!" Laya shouted what was in Moku's heart.
Swa just laughed and thought his brother was only shy.
Nezena and Nerphyl who didn't care about Swa and Laya's bickering glared at Moku fiercely.
"NEVARE???!!!" Nerphyl opened her eyes wide and tugged at Moku's ears tightly.
"HUMAN??!!!" Nezena shook Moku's neck hard.
'Swa I promise in my name I will break your three legs and feed it to the dog!!' Moku could only curse in his heart and hold back his anger.
"But Moku.. Nevare.. really??" Tam can't believe it.
Nezena regulates her accelerated breath, she feels strange with Nerphyl and Tam being so surprised by the name 'Nevare'.
Like her name 'Nezane' which means 'Holy Queen' in the ancestral language of monsters and 'Nerphyl' which means 'Fairy Queen', Nevare must have its own meaning.
"Moku, what does Nevare mean?" Nezena asked.
"Ah..eh..uhh..ehhh... Nevare means—" Moku became nervous to answer Nezena's question, but luckily he didn't need to answer because of Swa's warning from the front.
"We have arrived at the Toxic Jungle!"
All the attention was on the front.
