My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 430
Chapter 430: First Kiss
Clap!
No one knew who in the audience started clapping, and then more people started clapping.
Clap, clap, clap!
The applause was thunderous, and every spectator stood up from their seats. When Watson summoned his future self, they felt tremendous pressure, as if the world was collapsing. They could not help but feel the fear of death in their hearts. However, that feeling only lasted for a moment before it disappeared, making them wonder if what they felt was an illusion.
No matter what, they all saw an exhilarating battle. Initially, they were there to see Augustus and Watson in a similar match as before, but they did not expect the situation to be a hundred times more intense than they had imagined. That match would be the most exciting battle they had ever seen in their lives. Without a doubt, perhaps no one would be able to surpass Watson and Nia until they died.
Whether it was Nia, who nearly killed the entire stadium with her kingly posture, or Watson, who was still tenacious even after falling into a difficult situation and finally turned defeat into victory, their strength and spirit were worthy of everyone’s admiration.
“Good job, Watson. I knew you could win!”
“D*mn it. I bet 100,000 gold coins on Augustus. I had hoped that Augustus would be able to turn defeat into victory, but in the end, he did not even enter the finals. I’ve wasted 100,000 gold coins! If I had known earlier, I would have placed my 100,000 gold coins on Watson.”
“To be able to see such a thrilling performance is truly a life without regrets. The only flaw is that the audience stands are too close. Several times, I felt the aftermath of Watson’s attack pass through the protective barrier and almost kill me! His Majesty has named Watson as the kingdom’s number one genius. I don’t think that’s appropriate. I think he’s the kingdom’s number one elite!”
The spectators were discussing it animatedly, each of their faces filled with enthusiasm.
Watson looked at Nia in a daze. “Why did you admit defeat?”
“Future You has shown mercy to me. That’s how I escaped from him. From now on, I owe you my life, and you’ve given me hope of breaking through to a higher level! In return, I’ll give you this victory. At the same time, I hope to become your servant. I’ll observe you closely and learn how to become more powerful.” Nia’s serious reply made Watson feel somewhat puzzled.
His strength was not even as good as Nia’s. How could he let her learn from him? Nia even wanted to become his servant. It was not fitting for the Saint Laurent family’s future heir to be his future heir. He would not agree to it, let alone the Saint Laurent family.
Watson was still complaining when he saw Nia walking straight toward him. When she got close to him, Nia reached out and picked him up. Then, she lowered her head slightly and pressed her lips against his.
The boisterous crowd fell silent at that moment. They stared blankly at the young boy and girl who were kissing in the field.
What was going on?
Watson felt the softness of Nia’s lips. Since he had transmigrated to that world, he had come into contact with many girls. Many girls had intimate contact with him. For example, Wendy always helped him bathe. However, that was the first time he had kissed a girl.
In other words, that was his first kiss.
After being at a loss for a few seconds, Watson suddenly reacted and pushed Nia away. “Miss Nia, what are you doing?”
“My honorable Young Master Watson, I am helping you with your treatment. As a servant, am I wrong to do that? Many members of my family liked to do that to the servants. I thought that that was something that a servant should do for their master.” Nia touched her lips, then turned her head, appearing very silly and cute.
That was definitely a problem with the Saint Laurent family.
Covering his lips, Watson suddenly realized something. After the battle, it had been difficult for him to move his fingers because he was tired. After that kiss, though, he was full of energy and did not seem to be tired at all. It seemed like he could fight Nia for another 300 rounds.
“I can move.”
“I used the power of acceleration to stimulate the magical elements in your body and soul, Master, and restored your condition to the peak.”
“Thank you. No, don’t do that to me again.”
Watson thanked her, and Nia began to approach him again. “The Saint Laurent family members never thank the maids. They only ask them to take off their clothes! If Master is not satisfied with my behavior just now, I can find another way to make Master happy.”
“No need, Miss Nia. I have already recovered. I don’t need you to do those unnecessary things.”
Watson quickly held Nia down, who was trying to do something. If Nia did something even more outrageous in public, his reputation would be ruined.
Watson turned around. He realized that all the noblemen in the audience were giving him strange looks.
There were also whispers of gossip.
“No way! Miss Nia actually kissed Watson on her own accord in front of so many of us! As a nobleman, it must have been too passionate for Watson to express his love in public. Furthermore, Miss Nia was fighting Watson to the death. Is that a lover’s spat?”
“Well, people do say that fights lead to friendships. Perhaps Miss Nia was attracted by Watson’s strength during the battle! A strong man attracts girls. Now it seems like it’s true.”
Watson’s head hurt when he heard that. Things were not what they did at all. He wanted to explain, but a young female voice filled with anger came from behind him before he could speak.
“Watson, you b*stard! How could you kiss other women besides me? Don’t you know that you’re my future husband? You planned to have an affair before you got married? Or have you forgotten how sweet we were when you tied me up and dipped me in the hot spring when we were in the Sword Saint’s courtyard?”
It was Princess Kiana. She held her golden-red dress with both hands and rushed toward the arena. She ignored her image and jogged toward Watson; she looked furious.
The three princes chased after her helplessly. As they chased, they ridiculed her.
The Eldest Prince said, “Kiana, pay attention to your image. This is a public place! Also, what one does before one gets married is not considered cheating.”
The Second Prince said, “And Kiana, what do you mean by binding and soaking in the hot spring? Why didn’t I hear about that?”
Only the Third Prince waved his fists angrily, looking at Watson with an unfriendly gaze. “Kiana, did that guy bully you? Don’t worry! I’ll avenge you.”
The scene immediately became even more out of control.
“Being tied up in the hot spring? I didn’t expect Watson to have such a hobby, doing such a terrible thing to the young princess,” a nobleman whispered in the audience.
The people nearby nodded as well. “According to the Princess, she had a relationship with Watson before the end of the competition. What would she do if Watson was not the champion? Although the probability of that happening is tiny! But not only did he make Miss Nia like him, but he also seduced the Princess. Watson’s luck in love is really enviable!”
Many of the spectators revealed looks of envy and hatred toward Watson. Which man did not yearn to have two women in each arm? Furthermore, one of Watson’s two admirers was a noble princess whose status was above everyone else, and the other was the Saint Laurent family’s daughter. Her status was equally noble, and her strength was formidable. Watson’s future was simply unimaginable with those two women.
“Everyone, it’s not what you think. You’ve misunderstood. I’m innocent.”
Watson shook his arms and tried to explain himself. However, his voice drowned in the waves of other people’s voices. No one paid any attention to him. On the contrary, after Kiana came to him, she panted for a while. Then, as if she wanted to retaliate against Nia, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Watson’s face. She pointed at Nia and scolded, “You shameless woman. Watson is mine. Get out of my way.”
“Did I do something bad? I’m sorry, I’ve decided to become Watson’s servant. I apologize if I made you unhappy, but I won’t leave.”
“You stinky woman! I’m so angry!”
Kiana stomped her feet in anger. The crown was in an uproar when she kissed Watson. Some people even whistled frivolously.
Just as the situation was about to get out of hand, King Landhar III’s majestic voice came from the sky. “All of you, be quiet. The competition is over. As the champion, Watson is now my daughter’s fiancé. At the same time, he will obtain the right to become the future king. Your rude words to Watson are an insult to the future king. Do you know your crime?”
“If there is nothing else, all of you will stay here and continue to watch the battle between the other geniuses. It will determine the kingdom’s genius rankings from the third to the sixteenth place! If all of you don’t want to watch, you may leave.”
The crowd quieted down and began to leave. At least half of the audience had left.
After watching Watson and Nia’s outstanding performance, the fights between the other geniuses sounded dull. The crowd had also told their relatives and friends who were not there about Watson’s encounter with the two beautiful girls.
“Watson, you heard what Father said? Now that you’re my fiancé, you can’t be with other women, especially that battered woman whose face is covered in blood!” Kiana glared at Nia. She grabbed Watson’s hand. “Come, follow me back to the palace. I’ll show you my room and finish what I did not finish the last time.”
“What did you not finish the last time? Can I take a look? Maybe I can help.” Nia did not understand why Kiana was angry.
“You can’t help. I told you to stay away from Watson. Why can’t you understand that?” Nia angered Kiana again.
“Enough! I’m tired. I want to go home to rest. I’m not going anywhere.”
Annoyed by those two girls, Watson shook off Kiana’s hand and disappeared with a teleportation spell. Only Kiana and Nia were left on the spot, looking at each other and quarreling. One girl said, “It’s all your fault for quarreling and letting Watson run away.” Then, the other girl said, “Really? I don’t quite understand, and the one who has been quarreling is you.”
Several members of the Saint Laurent family asked the old woman, whose expression had darkened.
“Master, what should we do now?”
“What else can we do? Bring Nia back and lock her up. If she continues quarreling with the Princess, our heads will fall! Nia actually kissed Watson in front of so many people. As the Child of God, doesn’t she have no feelings?” The old woman’s face was ashen. Nia’s actions had caused the Saint Laurent family to lose their standing. At that moment, she could feel many burning gazes coming from all directions.
“Yes, Master.”
The Saint Laurent members nodded respectfully and were about to leave when the old woman suddenly said, “Wait a moment!”
“After you take Nia away, investigate that boy called Watson and find out what his background is and which border family he is from! I have a feeling that the boy is very similar to someone I know. If they are related, then it doesn’t matter even if Nia doesn’t get first place in that competition.”
He did not know what had happened on the competition grounds, nor did he know that the rumors about him, the Princess, and Nia would spread throughout the capital. After Watson teleported to the Sword Saint’s courtyard, he told Samuel and the other senior brothers that he was tired and had to return to his room to rest. He did not want to see anyone, even his masters.
Then, he returned to his room and fell asleep on his bed. He did not know how to explain what had happened in the competition, including how he had defeated Nia. However, his masters and Christina would definitely ask him about it when they returned. He decided not to explain.
Watson did not sleep well and had a dream. In the dream, he accepted the title of the Strongest Genius conferred by King Landhar III in front of many Royal Academy members and was forced to marry Kiana. However, on the day of the wedding, Nia barged in and fought with Kiana. In the end, Nia and Kiana held onto each one of his arms and argued. Then, they used a knife to split him into two.
Whoosh!
Watson got up from the bed and lamented that it was a nightmare. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but at that moment, someone handed him a towel.
He subconsciously said, “Thank you.” Then, he wiped his forehead with the towel. Suddenly, he felt like something was wrong. He turned his head and saw a 14-year-old girl standing at the head of his bed. Silver-gray Roman curls hung on both sides of her body. She was dressed in a decent maid’s outfit. She humbly placed her hand on her lower abdomen. “My master, you’re awake. May I ask if you had a nightmare?”
“Nia, why are you here?”
“Today is the Royal Academy’s opening day. I’m here to wake you up, Master. That is my job as a servant,” Nia replied calmly.
She was there to wake him?
A huge question mark appeared above Watson’s head. He wondered how she got into his room. That was the Sword Saint’s courtyard. No matter how strong Nia was, she could not have appeared there so quietly. Master Antonio and Master Reid would not have agreed to do that.
Boom!
Suddenly, someone kicked the door open. Kiana, dressed in a gorgeous long dress, went into the room as two maids helped to hold her skirt. She looked at Watson. “I’m here to wake you up. You should be grateful—Argh, Nia, why are you here?”
“You’re such a clingy girl. I knew you would not give up so easily. Get out of my way. Watson is mine.”
Kiana was like a lion who had seen its enemy. She pounced on her with bared fangs and claws, but Nia easily dodged her. On the other hand, Kiana tripped and fell on the soft bed because her skirt was too long.
She raised her head and rubbed her forehead. Kiana did not leave the bed. Instead, she climbed up and wrapped herself with the blanket. She wriggled on the bed like a worm and approached Watson. “Watson, let’s play a game.”
Watson had a headache. He bounced from the bed and stood in his pajamas. “Let’s forget about Nia. How did you get in, Princess Kiana?”
He remembered that he had made it very clear to his senior brothers that he did not want to be disturbed while he was resting, not even if King Landhar III was there. As one of his believers, Samuel would not have gone against his will.
“I walked in through the door.” Kiana saw that Watson was not paying attention to her. She rolled a few times on the bed to entice him. Then, she sat on the edge of the bed and pointed outside. “I only gave them a little reward, and your two masters let me in.”
What?
Watson looked outside the door. He saw Antonio and Reid leading Samuel and the other disciples to stand in two rows in the long corridor. They looked like a group of guards. A group of luxuriously dressed noblemen stood in front of them. The leader was the old woman from the Saint Laurent family. There were dozens of people following behind her; each of them was holding a diamond-tier holy relic or an equivalent treasure in their hands.
“Watson has just been through a battle and is extremely tired. He doesn’t want to talk to anyone. If you want to go in, you’ll likely make him angry! He has a bad temper. When he gets angry, we can’t control him. However, if you can give him a holy relic or an equivalent gift, perhaps he won’t be so angry.”
Antonio stroked his nonexistent beard and smiled. Reid, who was beside him, said, “That’s right. As Watson’s master, no one knows him better than me. His favorite thing is to collect powerful treasures. As long as the treasures satisfy him, he won’t complain. You can talk to him and ask him anything.”
“Of course.”
“Master Antonio, Master Reid, don’t worry! Just say the word. We will try our best to make Watson satisfied.”
The noblemen smiled. Samuel, who was standing behind Reid, said in a low voice, “Master, Junior Brother Watson said that he doesn’t want anyone to disturb him, but you guys are making profits like this. He might get angry if this wakes him! Besides, I think it’s not right to use others to make profits.”
“Are you sure?” Reid glanced at Samuel and handed him a holy relic. “I’m giving you this. Do you still think so?”
“I think it’s still a little—”
“I’ll give you another one.”
After he was handed the two holy relics, Samuel hesitated for a moment, and his expression became firm. “Master, there’s nothing wrong with your method. Although Junior Brother Watson told us not to disturb him, you and Master Antonio his masters. They say that a master is just like a father, a status that is higher than the mountain. You must have a special purpose in doing this, perhaps for Junior Brother Watson’s sake. I believe that he will not say anything even when he finds out about it.”
