My Girlfriends Are Hardcore Yanderes - Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Increasing Chances
“You think an item that rare would be handed to me that easily?” She shook her head and sighed.

“I thought you were responsible for building it?”

Lucia felt a little embarrassed, but she had to be truthful now. “The placement of the core will be handled by a representative from Eryx. My role here is merely to oversee the construction of the portal.”

“Then I’ll help. With me around, we can finish this in a month. I can even get the materials you need—just point me in the right direction,” he suggested.

“That’s only half the problem. Even if we manage to finish ahead of schedule, the decision of when to deliver the dragon core rests with them. They’re not in a hurry, and I’ve heard of some cities having to wait years for their turn.”

“Years? That’s too long,” he shook his head. “What if I go to Eryx directly?”

“And what exactly do you think you could accomplish?” her eyebrow was raised in skepticism.

“Ask them for a core.”

She shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose. “Do you plan to antagonize them? They won’t just hand it over because you asked.”

“I’ll think of a way when I get there,” he replied.

Lucia could sense that he was underestimating Eryx, perhaps because he had fought Abir and overwhelmed him so easily.

But the sorcerers in Eryx were on an entirely different level. He might have had a chance if they fought outside the capital, but inside, it was their domain. No amount of individual power could break through that.

“Let me remind you, that place is the home of the most powerful beings in the world. You might be strong on your own, but you’d be up against thousands, each armed with powerful artifacts. You wouldn’t stand a chance. Even the walls and ground of that city are filled with deadly traps.”

“I can’t afford to waste any more time. There are people I need to save.” He made up his mind.

He would head straight to Eryx, and if they forced his hand, he would return the favor.

“Don’t do it,” she warned, but he ignored her and started walking away.

Just as he was about to cast a flying spell, Lucia ran in front of him.

“Are you suicidal? Didn’t you hear what I said? That place is filled with dangerous people, and most of them are crazy.”

“I don’t care.” He gently shoved her aside, showing no hint of emotion.

“I said wait!” She grabbed his hand and refused to let go. Her usual haughty attitude was gone, replaced by a concerned look.

“What are you doing? You already got what you wanted, right?” he stared at her with a cold, detached expression.

“I…” She was lost for words.

Even Lucia couldn’t explain why she was stopping him. The moment she thought he might be in danger, worry washed over her.

‘Did she fall for me after what happened last time? I just used her mouth…’

She looked like she was really into him now, and not in a good way. It made him want to leave as quickly as possible. He had enough crazy women in his life.

“Even Eryx has a limited number, so they won’t give it to you… unless…” She paused, a bold idea forming in her mind.

“Spit it out,” he urged.

She looked at him and spoke, “You joined the Battle for the Strongest Sorcerer.”

“What are you talking about?”

Noticing that she had his attention, she let go of his hand and began explaining.

“There’s a surefire way for you to join Eryx’s inner circle in one go. That place prioritizes power and knowledge above all else. Every decade, they hold a tournament, and the sole winner is appointed as one of the Great Sages. If you win and earn that title, getting your hands on dragon cores would be much easier.”

“But that would still take too long, and can I even join? I thought they were very exclusive,” he reasoned.

“Not necessarily,” she responded. “The tournament starts in 15 days, and it’s the only time Eryx accepts applicants from other places.”

Asher reconsidered her suggestion. Fifteen days wasn’t that long, especially since most of that time would be spent traveling. “And how do I even get there in time?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. We can use a flying beast. The royal family has one called the Storm Eagle. I’m sure if you asked Nala, she’d be happy to lend it to you.”

“I thought you told me to stay away from her?” he was confused by her sudden change of mind.

“That was before. Besides, I’ll be with you when you ask her, so that cunning woman won’t be able to pull any tricks on you.”

‘Tricks, huh?’ He shook his head, reminding himself that Lucia had also fooled him into giving her his seed.

“Then what about your position here? Won’t they be worried if both of us leave?”

Lucia thought for a moment before answering, “We’ll just tell her that we plan to go directly to Eryx to speed up the portal’s progress. I’m sure she’d love that, especially since it would allow Alarath to boost its trading sooner.”

He had to admit that her plan was solid. Having her accompany him would also make it easier to blend in, but there was one thing he needed to clarify with her.

“I’m fine with your plan, but from now on, no more games.”

“Deal,” she reassured him.

They shook hands, and he was ready to head to the castle right away.

However—

She requested a few minutes, leaving him confused, though he gave her the space. She returned to her personal building, and he sensed her activating a spell to conceal whatever she was doing.

Inside, Lucia descended to the basement, her temporary laboratory. She carefully pulled out the vial she had collected from him.

She feared that the longer she postponed it, the less potent his seed would become due to her saliva.

So, she began the delicate task of separating the seed from her saliva, then dividing it into ten smaller vials. It was a good thing he had provided her with so much; now she had ten attempts.

She found a sofa to lie on.

‘I need to prepare my womb to increase the chance’

Her hand slid down her body, tracing a path of goosebumps across her skin. With a deep breath, she slipped her fingers under the fabric, finding her panties already soaked.

She bit her lip as she touched herself, the softness of her own pussy against her fingertips sending shivers through her body.

Out of nowhere, Asher’s face appeared in her mind, without her intending it. She wanted to stop herself, but it just felt too good to resist.

The image of him grew stronger in her mind as she touched herself. She pictured his strong hands on her hips, pulling her closer as he kissed her deeply, his tongue exploring her mouth.

Her breathing grew more ragged, and her eyes closed tightly as she began to rub her soaking wet slit in slow, gentle circles.

‘I’m not in love with him… That’s right, I’m just using his face. ‘ she repeated, unable to accept that just because of sucking his cock once, she had fallen for him.

That was outrageous and embarrassing.
