Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 484 - 1: Golden Honeysuckle Vine and Freya’s Bathhouse Training_3

But the Champion Knight of the Red Night Knight Order was not at all confused by the dazzling light. He leaned back to avoid the deadly arc, sneering coldly beneath his visor, "The Fiery Sun is always so irritable."

Amidst the shadows of hammers interwoven, his retreat suddenly halted. In the blink of an eye, he gripped the long handle of the battle halberd with his right hand and executed a Phoenix Piercing Flower, precisely piercing through the layers of hammer shadows, hitting the chest of the Corona Knight, completely disrupting his offense, causing him to stagger backward. Once the distance widened, it became the rhythm of the long halberd’s advantage!

This immediately triggered an almost roof-lifting cheer from the knights of the secular territories.

Even Su Li, an Elite Knight, could see the perfection and elegance of this strike, just like an antelope hanging its horn, with a clever and tricky angle.

Then Su Li, holding a wine glass, smiled and said to Freya, "This scene seems familiar. After such fierce battles, to be able to reminisce with old friends isn’t it the most delightful thing? Leader Freya, would you like to bet again?"

Freya withdrew her cool gaze from the scene, looked up at Su Li, her ice-cold face slightly raised at the corner of her mouth, and said lightly, "Lord, do you remember what you said before? When a member of the opposite sex actively finds you to make a bet, she’s actually already lost."

"Oh, is that so?" Su Li said with a smile, "But didn’t I tell you another sentence later? When a woman bets with a man, regardless of winning or losing, the man always wins."

Freya gazed at him, the cold and alluring light in her eyes flickered, then said lightly, "Then it seems I will never let you lose. Lord, what do you want to bet?"

Su Li took out the sado brass bell from his pocket and then reached to Freya’s hairdo, attaching the brass bell to her hair band, saying, "Just like the previous bet, gamble on who will win or lose between the two of them. If you win, this brass bell and hair band will remain in this place, if I win, you must listen to me in everything, I will place them where they should be."

This brass bell is indeed something from the sado snake. That serpent has been mockingly called the Nai Zi Snake by the empire soldiers, and this bell isn’t hung on the head, nor on the neck. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Rather, a very provocative place, in the middle of a piece of snowy white.

It was when Freya was tied by Su Li to the bedhead with a hair band, that Su Li could hang this brass bell on her.

Freya furrowed her brow, looked at him and asked, "Is it that simple? Didn’t you do all of this before, now satisfied with doing just this?"

Of course, it’s more than just that!

But when Freya’s hands were bound by her hair band, isn’t the rest up to Su Li?

Su Li did not answer but looked toward the center of the stage, asking, "If you don’t choose soon, the battle will end."

Freya glanced over the battle, saying, "I shall still choose our order’s Champion."

"Then you lost!" Su Li immediately raised his hand, took off her blue hair band, tied her fair hands together, and led her to stand.

And indeed behind them, the knights of the Red Night Knight Order smoothly defeated the Corona Knights, winning back a round of honor.

All of this was within Su Li’s expectations, Freya would not let her lose.

"Where are you taking me?" Seeing Su Li leading her away from the banquet hall with the hair band without heading to the bedroom, Freya instantly sensed something amiss.

Su Li raised the corners of his mouth, smiling as he said, "You’ll know soon."

When Su Li pushed open a wooden door engraved with Shalya’s golden holy image, the steam inside appeared like silver veils under the moonlight, and Freya immediately realized what this place was.

The bathhouse of the territory that was newly renovated! Freya just didn’t understand why today Su Li would want to bring her here? They have bathed together before.

But Su Li did not explain, directly holding her bound hands, leading her into the bath.

The warm spring water gradually covered Freya’s smooth legs, reaching the waist of the bound female knight, making it more difficult for her to move, even turning around was a challenge.

Su Li stood behind her, fingertips swept over the clasp of Freya’s battle armor, metal parts fell into the bath with a ding-dong sound, the curvature of the knight’s shoulder blades was faintly visible amidst the steam, resembling a swan about to spread its wings in the snow.

"You know, Lord," Freya leaned back into Su Li’s embrace, her hair spreading golden ripples over the water, "Church Knights dedicate their body and soul to the Goddess."

But in her voice, the battle armor had already fallen, her pure, tender figure obscured by the mist.

Su Li pressed against her from behind, wrapping his arms around her, hanging the already prepared brass bell onto a place of soft snow, the metal coolness making Freya tremble all over, the slight ring of the bell echoing crisply under the dome.

Su Li said with a smile, "Yet even female knights need adornment, just like holy statues always need to wear a pearl crown."

"This is blasphemy..." Her rebuke was dissipated by the sudden closeness of body heat, she had not yet adapted to this sudden intimacy, finding herself completely confined, unable to move.

The next moment, she saw what was binding her, Magic Vines quietly growing from the bath’s seams, climbing with dewy green stems onto her ankles. Freya wished to retreat, but realized she was already caught in a web woven by vines—thorny rose branches wrapped around her knees, honeysuckle vines gathered into delicate knots around her waist, each leaf perfectly covering the Holy Mark not meant to be seen.
