Chapter 59 - Stuffed In A Can, And Not In A Good Mood
I looked at Mex, who was rubbing his head, but then I started to feel really weird. It was like a wave of dizziness hit me, and I just tipped backward.
Suddenly, I felt like I was sucked into a tiny little pinhole like draining water, and then I was spat out. I felt like I had been turned into rubber and stuffed into a can and then let back out.
I immediately hurled onto a pair of black shoes with red feet in them and then fell over. That was not okay, I think I might have shit myself, and I don't think some of my organs are in the right place.
"I said that was reckless! He doesn't turn to ink like us! I think that you might have just killed him," A female voice complained.
"Shut it! He is mostly fine; go to him and clean him up! I need to clean my feet now!" The familiar voice of Nixi said, oh so… I puked some more.
This was a new kind of messed up; why couldn't… just ask myself… What was I thinking about?
"Here, drink this!"
I was held down with no effort and something thick with a dark, ironic taste that made me suck a deep breath.
Demon's Blood. All the damage caused was being reversed right now, but I was also feeling the violence course through my veins. Mex warned me about this, but that just meant that I had to control myself.
I was still aware, so I must hold it down; I just have to wait. Now I could open up my eyes, and I could see who my captors are, but that did not help me in the least.
"Just relax, we are going to put you into a hot bath briefly, and it will help with the healing that you have received from the Demon's Blood. My name is Noel, and I am Mex's great great grandmother. For now, just relax, and we will get you back into good shape."
I had no words, so it didn't matter; I just nodded my head. I was beyond confused about what the actual hell was going on; none of this made any sense.
"You're dead, pretty sure that's what everyone thinks, right?" I asked while gritting my teeth, trying not to let the bubbling font inside of me overflow.
"He holds it pretty good, for whatever he is," Another female said, and soon I was surrounded by buxom, beautiful women that were scooping me up.
Each one of them had dark blue skin, but each had different types of horns. I was getting jostled around so much that it was hard to stay concentrated on any one of them.
"This might hurt at first," Noel said as I was lowered into what could only be described as boiling cream.
The scalding froth made my eyes rip open, and I wanted to scream, but something said, no. I can't explain it, but it wouldn't let me try to grab the edges, and I was sure that this was it for me, but then the pain stopped.
The… water? I looked, and it was most definitely water that I was sitting in, but I was sure that it had been some kind of milky boiling froth. I tried to move my arms and found that I had motion once again, and I could move my mouth.
"Wow, that was a lot of work just to get me to come visit," I said, rubbing my jaw and then dunking my head under the water. I held it there for a moment, collecting my thoughts about what was going on.
Nixi had done some kind of teleporting, but it had almost killed me, but why? This was the castle, and I was on my way over! She could have just come and got me!
I brought my head above the water and then took a deep breath of air. I wiped my hand over my face and stood up in the bath pot or whatever I was in, and looked around.
"Well, whatever he is, we can keep him busy until Nixi gets back!" A red-headed Demoness said, and I looked down to see her reaching forward to grab me.
"Get your hands back! I am already spoken for tonight, and I am not in a good mood. Where is this damn old woman?!" I asked after swatting away the redhead's hand.
"Help him out and get him some shorts. This Damn Old Woman is waiting to talk to you," Nixi said from the other room, but all the women shrunk down.
So this was the pressure they all felt from Nixi, and it was enough to push these women to the ground on the spot and make them cower in fear. I stepped out of the pot and walked out into the main room, where Nixi was sitting in a chair with the back facing me.
I walked around her and then took a seat in her fancy red velvet chair with my wet naked ass and rubbed it in. The old woman had her arms crossed, and she did not look impressed, but I really didn't care.
I reached forward and grabbed the only cup of tea on the table and a couple cookies and then sat back in my chair. I dunked the cookies in and ate them, then drained the tea, which was very good, no sugar, a spot of cream, but not too dry.
"Are you done yet?" I asked after setting down the white teacup on the table.
"What did you just say to me?! Are you too stupid to be scared of me?" Nixi growled from her chair, clearly miffed about the cup of tea and the one I was pouring now.
"Stop scaring your family; it doesn't work on me, so you are just wasting you… menace? And you are causing your family that is supposed to be dead a great deal of stress," I said as I picked the teacup back up, but it was too hot to drink right away.
I heard gasps for air from the room where I was just cleaned, and that must mean she let them go. It still boggled me how she could be so influential on everyone around me, and I was fine.
"So, what have you almost killed me for to bring me here?" I asked and then took another sip of tea, making Nixi growl at me, and reach her hand out to the side.
A cup flew into it, and she set it down on the table and then glared at me. I glared back but finally relented because I was already being a rude asshole and poured Nixi a cup of tea.
