Chapter 39 Collapsing

Klaus only needs to think about the Dragon Princess for a second for Irina to notice it in his eyes, but that situation is now much more complex than she could have imagined.

"The sun hurts you, but… you were fine when those scales covered your body, and damn, you even had wings…" She comments in a curious tone.

"..." Klaus doesn't say anything; he just looks at Irina's flushed face, trying to understand how to deal with her jealousy.

"I know it was because of that blood… the dragon's blood?" The fairy pouts as she tries to contain her jealousy. "I don't want you to have other wives, but… if it's because of her blood, I don't mind you..."

Klaus couldn't help but smile. Irina is very proud, possessive, and jealous, but she is willing to hold back her feelings for his sake.

His loving gaze leaves the fairy even more embarrassed. "W-why are you looking at me like that??"

"Because I love you." He responds in a casual but frank tone.

*Thump Thump*

Irina's little heart beats faster due to those words; she simply will never get tired of hearing that.

She wants to run and jump into his arms before showering him with passionate kisses, but the fact that he's naked makes that too dangerous.

Her face goes from flushed to almost solid red as she tries desperately not to look at his cock. "Damn you, Klaus! You can't tell me that while you're naked!!"

​ "Haa? Why not?" He makes a fake confused expression while doing nothing to cover his parts.

"Shit! Do you really want to do this now?" She asks.

He tries to approach her, but she steps back. "What's the problem? There's no one here to disturb us, and we have time until sunset."

"Wait!!" Irina has to run away from Klaus because she knows that if he hugs her, she won't want to leave his arms anymore.

"I don't want to do this here! This place stinks like death, and... it's falling apart, and I don't want a rock to fall on my head!"

Klaus doesn't insist. "It's okay; I also want it to be special for you, my dear."

Irina feels her heart melting again; his every sentence seems specially prepared to hit her weakest spot.

"I love you too..." She whispers softly.

"Huh?" He heard well what she said but couldn't help pretending as not, teasing her.

She blushes as she gets shy again. "I said you need new clothes, you perverted vampire!"

"Oh?" He smiles with that teasing expression, which makes Irina increasingly crazier. "I think so, but it has to be like a big mantle that can cover my whole body, you know, for when I can't avoid the sun."

"Isn't there anything like that in that stupid young master's ring?" She points to the storage ring on Klaus' finger.

"It?" Klaus had forgotten that ring was on his finger; the artifact has almost no weight. Also, he's happy that it survived those powerful flames.

He focuses some of his energy on the storage ring and takes a look inside its interior again; however, there is nothing new inside it, and he just finds a pair of boots and pants that could fit him, even if a little tight.

"Only those seem useful; everything else is too small." He shows Irina the pants and boots.

"Put on the pants, quick!" She exclaims as she turns around. If she has to keep looking away from his cock all the time, she will get really crazy.

Klaus loves teasing Irina and seeing her lovely shy reactions, but he puts his pants on because walking around naked isn't fun. "I still need a cloak or something."

"I think I saw some kind of closet in one of those rooms..." She walked through the hole Klaus and Shadya made in the wall, heading towards the interior of the Bronze Skull Sect. "I bet the necromancers have many extra black mantles."

Klaus doesn't follow the fairy but instead looks at the distant dunes even though it's uncomfortable. He acts relaxed in front of Irina, but inside he's thinking about Shadya.

That woman activated his instincts like no other person ever did, and he can't help but wonder how dangerous she could be.

Until he gets a good amount of blood and improves his cultivation, it wouldn't be good to have armies of humans chasing him, especially because of Irina.

[No... she wouldn't tell my secrets to other humans... she's too selfish to share any power.] He concludes.

But no matter how much Klaus thinks he understands Shadya's actions, she's just too unpredictable and cunning, which makes her very dangerous, so he has to find and kill her for the sake of his future with Irina.

*Tremble*

"???" As he thinks of Shadya, Klaus feels the ground shake; the walls also vibrate, and the ceiling seems about to collapse.

"Shit! Shit!! Shit!!!" Irina appears with some black clothes in her hands and a worried expression. "We have to get out of here; this place is falling apart for real!!"

Klaus hears the walls and ceiling collapsing inside the Bronze Skull Sect due to the damage his fight with Shadya caused to the entire building.

"Damn! Sunset still seems far away..." He sighs.

Irina approaches him and shows him an old black mantle. "I found this one; try it, quick!"

When Klaus feels the texture of that mantle, he wonders if it won't turn to ashes in sunlight, but now they don't have time to waste because that room is already collapsing.

"Faster!!" Irina helps Klaus into his cloak and covers his head with the hood before checking if all parts of his body are covered.

*Tremble* *Tremble*

The tremors grow intenser, and the broken walls give way, letting the room's ceiling fall apart.

Klaus holds Irina's hand and quickly leaves the building; when staying outside, he feels the sunlight reduce his strength, but it seems that his body is protected by the clothes.

"Are you okay??" Irina checks Klaus' body again, fearing he will catch fire.

"I think so." He keeps his head down so the sunlight doesn't touch his face under the hood.

"*Huff!*" The fairy lets out a relieved sigh. "Good thing that worked... what are we going to do now?"

"Looking for a place to wait for the sunset would be good." He responds. "I don't know how long this old mantle will hold..."

Irina looks back and sees the entire Bronze Skull Sect building turn into a pile of rocks; she looks in other directions and sees only dunes.

"FUCK!"
