Chapter 178: 178

Zerena was finally done cleaning the remnants from Max’s face and mouth, but she still had to keep their mouths together for a couple of minutes longer to complete the task. Max had his arms wrapped tightly around her from behind, refusing to let her move away even now.

Zerena raised her head slightly while holding his face.

“How many points did the quest give?” she asked, breathing a little heavily. Her lips felt swollen and were tingling from all the kissing. She pressed them against his cheek, gently sucking on his skin as she tried to soothe the strange sensation.

The tingling had been caused by all the kissing, but whenever she kept her lips against him like this, she barely noticed it. The contact actually felt soothing, giving her swollen lips a brief relief from the persistent tingling.

As Max felt her soft lips against his cheek, her face brushing against his nose as she continued kissing him, he glanced at the System notification.

[Forbidden Act: Clean Up Your Mess — Completed For first day]

[Target: Zerena Falkner]

[Completion Requirement: Fulfilled]

[The target has thoroughly cleaned the orgasm left behind on hosts body.]

[Quest Duration: 1/1 Day]

[Forbidden Points Received: 160]

[The act may be repeated again today, but additional completions will not count toward the next day’s requirement. The host may still receive the reward for each additional completion.]

Max smiled as he looked at the notification. “Seems like you missed some of it. It didn’t give the full points, though it’s still good enough…”

Zerena didn’t like vague answers, so she asked, “Describe ‘good enough’?”

She leaned back as Max’s hold around her loosened, separating her breasts from his chest. Both of their chests were glistening with sweat, and Max could feel the warmth and dampness along his neck where they had been pressed together. Her nipples were still hard from everything that had happened.

Zerena reached for the box of wet tissues again and began wiping her mouth and chest, waiting for Max to give her a proper answer.

“Good enough as in, it only gave a little less than what you’d need to make a batch of low-grade potions,” Max answered, keeping his explanation as vague as possible. He didn’t want Zerena to understand the actual value of the points, but he still needed to give her enough of an answer that she wouldn’t become suspicious and start asking more questions.

Since she was still looking at him expectantly, Max added, “I mean, the quest isn’t that time-consuming, and it doesn’t give that many System Points anyway. So, considering all that, you got us a good enough amount of points. That’s what I meant.”

Zerena nodded and continued wiping herself clean, making sure to get between her breasts before moving the tissue aside. Max cleaned his own face in the meantime, but when she noticed he was still sweaty around his chest and neck, she casually took another wet tissue and reached over to clean him as well.

She wiped his neck first, then moved down across his chest, doing it almost absentmindedly as she finished cleaning up. Once she was done, she looked at him and asked, “So, what now?”

Max thought for a second before answering, “We have two quests going right now. We can do one of them…”

He paused, then broke into a wide grin as he took hold of her breasts, enjoying their weight in his hands.

“You can just hop on my face again if you want…”

Zerena shook her head, her expression turning slightly embarrassed. “One time is enough…”

She had already been embarrassed enough by what she had done earlier. The thought of getting into the same position again, with her vagina and folds completely exposed to Max while sitting directly on his face, made her feel awkward all over again.

But that didn’t mean she wanted something like that to become normal.

“Well, since the quest only requires you to clean up after you orgasm, how about I use my hands instead?” Max suggested.

He lifted one of her breasts slightly before reaching down, his hand moving toward the folds that were pressed against his stomach. His fingers brushed against the bushy area along the upper edge of her folds, and he noticed that she was still incredibly wet even now, her skin feeling soft beneath his touch.

Zerena thought about it for a moment as she watched his fingers moving through the bushy area. If they did it this way, she would only have to clean his hands afterward, which was much easier for her to accept than having to lick his face again. At least she wouldn’t have to sit on his face either, and that alone made the idea considerably more excpeting.

But for some reason, her mind kept drifting toward something else—something they hadn’t tried before. Perhaps she was simply getting bored with repeating the same things, though another part of her wondered if it meant she was starting to crave stronger stimulation.

While Max continued fondling her breasts and massaging her folds, his gaze naturally drifted down to her thighs. He paused there for a moment, taking in how the stockings hugged her legs. The elastic bands around the tops were slightly tight, pressing into her soft, full thighs and leaving shallow marks where the fabric met her skin.

But nothing came to her mind that felt less embarrassing and disgusting than those quests while still being equally exciting.

She hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I think we should try to get a few more quests. We don’t know what Colonel Delgado might ask you to do next, and I have a feeling it could take a lot more effort than what he asked today.”

Her expression became more serious as she continued. “If we’re going to keep working with him, we should build up as many System Points as we can beforehand. That way, if he gives you something difficult later, we’ll already have a decent reserve instead of having to scramble for points at the last moment.”

She paused before adding, “So we should focus on getting as many quests as possible today. so for next few days we can save as many points as we can.”
