Demon King Priest

Chapter 61: A Different Rasputin (2)

Silence, a strange breath of silence surrounded Rasputin and Ulysses. Cherie and Helen slept soundly in the Soundproofing Barrier. In this cave, there were only the heartbeats of Ulysses and Rasputin and the thunder from outside.

"Rasputin, since you are so afraid of storms, why don't you use a Soundproofing Barrier to block the sound of the storm? It is not difficult for you to use two Soundproofing Barriers at the same time, right?" Or Ulysses broke the inexplicable silence surrounding the two.

"That that's because I don't want to lose. I don't want to live in the shadow of fear of the storm all my life, I want to overcome it! So even though I am terribly scared, I will never hide inside the Soundproofing Barrier to escape the sound of the storm. I believe that as long as I face the storm every time, instead of cowardly avoiding it, one day I will no longer be afraid of it." Rasputin said in a trembling and very determined tone.

"So that's the reason. You are really amazing, Rasputin. Facing the fear bravely instead of avoiding it. I don't think I can do it." Ulysses really admired Rasputin.

"It sounds like you are scared of something, but you are a seventh-level master, what can you possibly be scared of?" Rasputin's tone was full of curiosity.

"Uh, please don't laugh at me if I tell you. I... I am most afraid of Aunt Lana next door to my old house. Even until now, I am still scared whenever I think of her name." Ulysses hesitated. This name seemed like a nightmare to him.

"Who is she? Is she strong? Even a seventh-level master like you is afraid of her. Is she an eighth-level super powerful master?" Rasputin asked curiously.

"No, Aunt Lana doesn't know anything about martial arts or magic. Her daughter Laxia is much better than her. I remember Laxia was an excellent fourth-level swordsman when she was twelve years old." Ulysses was somewhat embarrassed when he said this.

"Then why are you afraid of her? The power you have is far above her." Rasputin was puzzled. Before she knew it, she had been attracted by Ulysses' words, temporarily forgot about the storm outside, and the trembling of her body slowly stopped.

"Well, that's because Aunt Lana has been taking care of me since I was a child. When I was twelve years old, my parents and Aunt Lana's husband died of a sudden plague. After that it was Aunt Lana who took care of me to survive that plague, so I would never use force to fight Aunt Lana." Ulysses fell into the memory and said in a slightly sad tone.

"I, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you remember the sad memory." Rasputin said apologetically.

"It's, it's okay, it was a long time ago." Ulysses smiled, not taking Rasputin's words to heart.

"But, according to your statement. That Auntie Lana should be an elder who took good care of you. Then why are you afraid of her? Is she very strict with your training? Did she punish you often?" Rasputin asked again.

"No, Aunt Lana has no requirements for my training at all. In fact, she doesn't care about my training at all, and she has never hit me once since childhood." Ulysses answered Rasputin with a wry smile.

"Then, why are you so afraid of her? She is obviously a woman who loves you very much." Rasputin became more and more puzzled.

"Uh! Rasputin, you... can you guarantee that you won't laugh at me after I tell the reason?" Ulysses said hesitantly.

"Okay, I promise!" Rasputin couldn't wait to know the answer.

"That that's because Aunt Lana liked to make me wear...women's clothes. She, she said she liked to look at me in girl clothes the most, and said how great it would be if I were a girl. And she also liked to sleep with me after she put girl's clothes on me. Before I left the village at the age of fifteen, I was forced to put on girl clothes every night by her and then hugged to sleep by her..." Ulysses thought of himself in that nightmarish boyhood, his tone was unspeakably embarrassing.

During the three years from twelve to fifteen years old, he lived a dark life. Every morning, Aunt Lana would call him up, put beautiful girl clothes on him, and give him a sweet good morning kiss. Because he looked a bit like a girl when he was a child, and after Aunt Lana meticulously dressed him up in cute girl's clothes, he was like a pretty doll with black hair and black eyes. And Aunt Lana was never tired of it. After eating breakfast, he must wear those cute girl clothes to start the day of training. In addition, he had to accept a goodnight kiss from Aunt Lana before going to bed, and then he would be hugged to sleep by her. Not only that, Aunt Lana even gave him a girl's name- Yuna.

So after leaving the village, Ulysses barely wore clothes other than a mage's robe. It was really because Aunt Lana left a deep shadow in his mind. Now Ulysses wore a mage robe wherever he went. It had been a habit since then. He really didn't want to wear those colorful clothes anymore.

Silence, deathly silence, the cave was once again quiet as it was not long ago. However, this silence did not last for a long time.

"Pfff Hahahahahahaha!" Rasputin's uncontrollable laughter shattered the silence in an instant.

"Rasputin, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't laugh if I told you the reason!" Although Ulysses had guessed Rasputin's reaction, he was still unable to express his irritation and flushed at the same time. Of course, he knew that this reason was inherently funny. That was why he asked Rasputin to promise not to laugh before he said it.

"I, I'm, sorry. Ulysses, I really am you, you girl's clothes! Hahahaha! No, no, I really can't help it!" Rasputin loosened her arms around Ulysses and started pounding his back as she laughed uncontrollably.

"Hey! Rasputin, I know it's not a glorious thing too! But I beg you not to laugh so loudly! That's like telling me that I'm an idiot." Ulysses really couldn't bear it.

"Ah! Don't say that! Miss Ulysses! It's not like a lady's behavior to speak so loudly." Rasputin said to Ulysses in a very ambiguous tone.

"I...I, I am not some Miss Ulysses! I am a man, 100% man!" Ulysses said angrily.
