084 MAKE-ME-FUC.. MEETS MONEY
"Have your memories returned?" Leo asked Grangya.
Grangya smirked, catching Leo off guard. "Thanks to you, they have. Your hard cock helped break my seal," she replied, her voice carrying a new shameless confidence.
Leo raised an eyebrow. "You sound different."
"That's because she's regained her memories as Lorelei, the Battle Angel," Yun-Yun interjected.
Grangya nodded, turning to Yun-Yun. "Yes, Yun-Yun of the Snow Mountain Sect. It's been ages, you bitch never age at all."
"So, do you."
Leo glanced between them, puzzled. "You two know each other?"
Yun-Yun nodded. "I recognized her as Lorelei, the Battle Angel, when we first met although I didn't want to say at that time. She had suffered a powerful magic seal like me, but her condition was worse. Her memories and emotions were completely blocked."
"I still remember the times when we were on a quest in the East. Wounded and stranded in a cave with no one to care for us except some handsome young mages", Grangya started her story telling.
"Those are in the past and should remain there", Yun-Yun told her sternly not to reveal their embarrassing past together.
Leo chuckled. "What are the odds of you two meeting."
"It's a small world," Grangya said thoughtfully. "But I'm no longer Lorelei. After death and rebirth, I prefer the life I have now. Simplicity and Pleasurable."
Leo was intrigued. "What was the mission you failed, back then?"
"Our mission was to destroy the Demon Lusifar and capture his realm," Grangya explained. "Though Lusifar was ultimately defeated, it wasn't by us."
Leo nodded. "I know. He cast a dying spell and turned his entire realm against you."
Grangya looked at him, surprised. "How could you know that?"
"Because," Leo said, "I killed the reborn Lusifar and claimed his fucking realm."
Grangya narrowed her eyes. "Liar."
"There's only one way to confirm it," Leo replied.
Grangya seemed to concentrate, and suddenly, a magical notification appeared before Leo.
"New shared Party Quest: Kill the Demon Lusifar and Conquer His Realm."
Leo accepted the shared quest, and an instant later, a new message appeared.
"Mission Completed: Kill the Demon Lusifar and Conquer His Realm."
Grangya stared at him, stunned. "Are you serious? The quest that took the lives of hundreds of powerful mages was completed by you? With what army?"
"I used the Divine Retribution. Lusifar couldn't withstand it."
"And you survived Destiny's Retribution at your level?" she asked, incredulous.
"Yun-Yun was there to help," Leo said, glancing over at her.
Grangya shook her head, amazed. "Yun-Yun, I never took you for someone who'd take such risks for a boy."
Yun-Yun smiled. "People change, Lorelei. You have, too."
Grangya turned back to Leo, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Now that you have control of Lusifar's dungeon, will you make it our guild base?"
"What do you mean?" Leo asked, his brow furrowing.
Grangya smirked. "You completed the quest without realizing the prize? Lusifar's dungeon can be transformed into a fortified guild base."
"And the point of a base is?" Leo pressed.
"It's a haven for guild members," Grangya explained. "A place to protect them from hostile guilds or the dangers of this world—if fortified well enough."
Leo glanced at Yun-Yun. "Is that why you wanted the relic stones from the Sword Mountain Sect?"
Yun-Yun nodded. "It would be a waste not to use them in the new dungeon."
"You knew I would eventually establish a fortress with Lusifar's dungeon, and that's why you went all the way to study and prepare the relic stones?" Leo asked, his tone sharpening with realization.
"Exactly," Yun-Yun replied. "The relic stones could serve as the main defensive mechanism for your new fortress."
Grangya laughed, her voice ringing out. "Fucking amazing. You've even obtained the powerful defensive magic from one of the strongest eastern sects. We should call ourselves the Lucky Guild."
Leo still seemed uncertain. "How do we establish a guild base?"
"Lusifar's dungeon is fueled by lust," Yun-Yun said matter-of-factly. "That power source needs to be maintained."
Grangya nodded in agreement. "Then establish its entrance somewhere that thrives on lust."
"Where would you suggest?" Yun-Yun asked, tilting her head thoughtfully.
Grangya tapped her chin, considering. "The emperor's harem, if he permitted us access. But there's a limit to how much he fucks his concubines, and the stingy bastard wouldn't let others near his women."
"Then the next best place," Leo said, a sly grin forming. "The city's fucking brothel."
-----
Leo's carriage brought them straight to the entrance to Bagnio la Mood.
Bagnio la Mood was grand, an opulent bathhouse, richly adorned and filled with luxuries with vaulted ceilings painted with intricate frescoes, walls lined with mosaics and carvings of mythological scenes, and grand archways.
The floors were made of polished marble or decorated tiles, warming from beneath with heated waters. Pools of various temperatures are surrounded by velvet cushions and low, carved tables holding perfumes, oils, and platters of fruits and sweets. Flickering lamps cast a warm glow, illuminating fountains and statues of beautiful naked women, while soft, aromatic steam fills the air.
As Leo entered, a wealthy patron sneered. "What business does a pauper have in such a place?"
The question hung in the air until silver coins, gleaming under the midday sun, clinked to the marble floor, thrown from the not so thrifty young master, Lilleo Gullee.
"Poor taste. Don't you recognize our Grunge fashion?", Leo said to the patron who sneered at him.
Servants scrambled to collect the scattered wealth, eyes widening as they realized the fortune in tips, while the patron quickly left without arguing further.
A rotund man with powdered cheeks and an ingratiating smile swept forward, his colorful robes rustling as he bowed at Leo, the patron who tipped them.
"Welcome, great master. I am Make-me-fuu...cck, at your service. Would you care for a bath or a room?"
Leo's eyes glinted with amusement. "Lilleo. Lilleo Money. Arrange your finest room and send in your most beautiful girls. I find myself in need of some fuu…cck."
Make-me-fuck's grin widened, and he hurried to comply.
