Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 295: Adventurer For Hire!

After finding out Jasmine's actual age, I couldn't, in my right conscious, let her go, so with a deep sigh that contained untold frustration that was soon to come in the following days, I grabbed her hand and forced her to walk back towards the beach, where we had set up camp.

"A-Alex, w-what are you doing? P-Please, let me go." Said Jasmine lightly with a faint frown as she attempted to resist Alexander, who practically dragged her through the forest, yet her efforts were to no avail.

"Listen, Jasmine, I'm not letting you go alone, alright? I'll come with you and make sure you return home alive." Stated Alexander firmly as he glanced at Jasmine before yanking her into the air and catching her in a princess carry while he jogged through the forest.

"T-That's dangerous, Alex! Y-You could die!" "Yes, I COULD die, but you WILL die. That's the difference, and I'm willing to bet on that difference." Said Jasmine and Alexander, respectively, as the former firmly shook her head before staring into the latter's eyes while he glanced at her with confidence and determination, shocking her.

"W-Why would you go that far for me? W-We've just met; y-you don't even know who I am. W-What dummy would risk their life for a stranger?" Muttered Jasmine softly in confusion as she turned and gazed at Alexander with moist eyes while he shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know. That's just how I've always been." Replied Alexander blandly as he glanced at Jasmine before shaking his head, causing her to slightly widen her eyes, only for her to close them and gently lean against his shoulder.

"Besides, I'm not doing it for free; I'm an Adventure, so think of this as if you're hiring me." Added Alexander with a faint smirk as he glanced at Jasmine, who softly smiled while opening a single eye.

"We haven't even discussed payment. What if I have no money to give?" "Oh, you can't fool me; you're definitely part of an extremely wealthy family. And if for some reason you're poor, well, I'm sure we could figure something else out." Said Jasmine and Alexander, respectively, as the former faintly smiled with a raised eyebrow while the latter smirked before shrugging his shoulders, seemingly unconcerned whether he received payment.

With a soft chuckle, Jasmine rested her head against my shoulder while we descended into the silence; only my footsteps crunching against leaves and sticks were heard as I jogged through the forest, nearing our camp.

"You're very warm, Alex." Muttered Jasmine subconsciously, her voice quieter than a whisper as she wrapped her arms around Alexander's neck for support while he remained silent.

Exiting the forest a few moments later, I set Jasmine down on her two feet while pointing to her earth tent Lazuli had quickly built.

"We'll leave in the morning, but for now, just get some rest." Said Alexander with a faint smile as he patted Jasmine's shoulder before turning around and approaching his earth tent, where Lazuli could be seen peeking her head out.

"What happened?" "Haa, I'll tell you in the morning; for now, let's resume where we left off." Remarked Lazuli and Alexander, respectively, as the former curiously glanced at the latter, who removed his clothes, freeing his large erection, which caused her to lick her lips.

"You look pregnant, Lazuli." Said Alexander with a playful smirk as she glanced at Lazuli's bulging stomach full of his semen, causing her to lower her head before nodding.

"Yes, it does look that way." Said Lazuli lightly, only to flash a small smile when Alexander turned around as she tenderly rubbed her stomach before shaking her head.

Putting my clothes on, I exited the earth tent with a yawn, only to notice Jasmine was the first one awake, though the bags under her eyes made it apparent she didn't get much sleep.
