Starting with the goblin extermination

Chapter 99 Bathtub and Care

Logan was extremely satisfied with the layout of the second floor. Besides the largest master bedroom, there were three other bedrooms; the master bedroom was undoubtedly his and Elsa's room. Since that night, Logan had woken up every day in Elsa's octopus-like embrace. Although he occasionally felt a slight numbness in his arms, he could no longer bear to part with the warm, soft touch he felt the moment he opened his eyes.

Of the remaining three secondary bedrooms, Elsa chose the one on the left side of the hallway for Lily. It had the best natural light, with sunlight streaming in without any obstruction. In addition to a comfortable wooden bed, there was also a desk that was suitable for reading and writing, at the right height and with a comfortable feel.

Logan left Elsa in Lily's room and went back to the master bedroom.

He banged hard on the wall separating the master bedroom from the hallway, then jogged back and asked Elsa in a serious tone if she had heard him knocking on the wall.

Elsa paused for a moment, then subconsciously shook her head. But then, under the goblin Krug's mocking gaze, the half-elf girl instantly understood.

Her face flushed instantly, all the way to the tips of her ears.

Elsa initially found Logan's pragmatic yet childish behavior somewhat amusing, but was then overwhelmed by a wave of shyness.

She knew perfectly well what Logan was testing, and deep down, she cared about it just as much. After all, from that day on, it was she who had been relentlessly pursuing Logan every night. Although she always gave in quickly, she remained tirelessly eager to possess him.

This is definitely the effect of the protection...

Elsa felt a connection with Logan through the blessing, looking at the spacious bedroom and thinking about sleeping in this bed with Logan every day from now on. Her heart was filled with both sweetness and shyness. Although the house was only rented, it was still their house, the starting point of their new life.

Logan understood Elsa's feelings, and he himself felt a little dazed. Moving from the West End to the bustling East End, even though they hadn't left Riverwood, made him feel completely refreshed.

Moreover, Logan couldn't find a single fault with the entire house.

The stone walls provided perfect sound insulation, the lighting was comfortable, and the furniture was all clean and new. In particular, the solid wood bed in the master bedroom, which was sturdy and spacious enough to fit four people, was both a surprise and something Logan was looking forward to.

I really have to thank Kruger.

The goblin standing nearby naturally understood the importance of striking while the iron was hot.

"Mr. Logan, this house costs only 3 gold coins per month, which is the highest I can offer. As long as you pay three months' rent upfront, plus an extra month's rent as a deposit, for a total of 12 gold coins, I, Kruger, can now, immediately, hand over all the keys to this house to you."

Logan looked at Elsa's delighted profile and agreed without hesitation.

Splash!

Kruger handed two heavy bunches of keys to Logan.

Logan gently placed one of the strings in Elsa's hand.

Elsa blushed and gripped the key tightly.

Logan felt that his seemingly casual action had great significance for this insecure half-elf. Elsa couldn't help but lean forward and hug Logan tightly around the waist.

Seeing this, Kruger quietly left the stone house.

in the afternoon.

Logan and Elsa, covered in sweat, slumped on the soft sofa in the living room.

Logan had long since taken off his heavy chainmail, but his clothes were completely soaked with sweat. Even with his eight points of strength, carrying the heavy package back and forth in this sweltering heat had left him drenched in sweat.

They had just moved all their belongings from the house in the West End. Fortunately, the two sisters didn't have much; apart from a few patched old clothes, Elsa treasured only some heirlooms left by their parents.

.

With their exceptional physical strength, the two carried all their belongings into their new home in just two trips.

Elsa slumped softly against Logan's shoulder, burying her head deep in the crook of his neck. Her hot breath brushed against Logan's neck, making his already feverish body even hotter.

Although it was cool inside, the clothes clinging to his body still made him feel uncomfortable.

Logan simply stood up and ripped off his clothes, revealing his muscular upper body.

Fortunately, Lily was still at the temple and hadn't returned, otherwise Logan wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous in the hall. He had intended to take off his pants and go take a shower, but as soon as his hand touched his belt, he blushed at Elsa's burning gaze.

Elsa quickly imitated Logan's actions, even going a step further.

Then, barefoot, she stepped closer to him like a lazy cat. Her cool little hands gently rested on Logan's chest muscles, her light blue eyes seeming to overflow with tears. She said nothing, yet everything was said, as if she were pleading for something.

What's going on? Ever since they started dating, Elsa has become increasingly proactive, her staring eyes seeming like she wants to devour Logan whole.

Sometimes Logan even felt that Ellis, who only dared to make dirty jokes at the dinner table, could not be considered a female hooligan at all, and that the cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside wanderer in front of him was the real enchantress.

Elsa pressed closer and closer until their chests were touching; if it weren't for their height difference, their noses would probably have bumped together.

The smooth, warm touch made Logan's mind wander.

Elsa looked up, staring intently at the man before her, then turned to look at the cozy room. The scene brought back both the cold memories of her training in the courtroom and the warm home that had once belonged to her when her parents were still alive.

She hugged Logan tightly, her voice trembling slightly, filled with an indescribable affection.

"Thank you... thank you for letting me know that I can still live so happily."

Logan felt as if he had been struck hard in the heart. He turned around and hugged the frail yet resilient girl tightly. As the first woman in his world, Elsa had long been an inseparable part of his life.

Just as a scabbard is to a blade, in Elsa he truly experienced the complex bonds of friendship, love, and family. Past, present, and future, this lovely girl in his arms will always cling tightly to his back.

When emotions run deep, all words lose their meaning. The two gaze at each other in silence, only the sound of their intertwined breaths echoing in the empty bridal chamber.

The bathtub built by the dwarves was indeed ridiculously large.

Logan leaned back comfortably against the edge of the bathtub, his legs outstretched, yet he hadn't even touched the other end of the tub.

The water in the bathtub was cool and comfortable, and the sweat and fatigue on their bodies had long been washed away, but they still felt hot all over as if they were about to burn.

Elsa straddled Logan's lap, her head bowed. Her eyes were tightly closed, and she gently bit her lip. Her half-elf limbs were graceful and alluring, yet every muscle possessed an elasticity and resilience that seemed utterly incongruous with her smooth skin.

The clear water rippled violently in the enormous bathtub, and even though Elsa was too exhausted to struggle, her excellent physical condition and indomitable instinct still honestly responded to every interaction. With Logan deliberately letting the water flow freely, the two became evenly matched.

Although her muscles were firm and strong, the girl was still a girl. In the end, Elsa could only hang her hands limply around Logan's neck, gently biting the muscles of Logan's neck in protest. With the last few violent surges and churns of the water, she gradually lost even the strength to shake her head and wail.

Logan raised his hand, looked at the skin in front of him that had turned white from soaking for too long, quickly got up, wrapped the drowsy girl in his arms with a large bath towel, dried the water droplets off his body, and returned to the sofa in the living room.

Elsa clung to him tightly, refusing to let go even after she had dried herself off. She leaned against Logan's chest, gently poking his chest with her finger.

There's something I want to tell you.

Logan held her waist and waited quietly, but Elsa only swallowed nervously.

This was the first time Logan had ever seen such a worried and anxious expression on Elsa's face. He simply kissed Elsa's slightly pursed lips, which were pursed in nervousness, and watched her quietly.

Feeling Logan's trust, Elsa breathed a sigh of relief.

She released Logan, and then, an incredible thing happened.

Elsa's lips moved slightly, and then, right before Logan's eyes, her entire being melted and vanished like ink falling into the deep sea.

But only for the next instant.

Logan caught another whiff of Elsa's faint scent. She emerged silently from the shadows behind him and hugged him tightly around the waist.

Under Logan's shocked gaze, Elsa's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Logan...this is the blessing bestowed upon me by my god."
