Lord Ash almost never got drunk. His alcohol tolerance level was extremely high. So when she had offered the drink, he accepted.

He felt like she was plotting something to get him drunk. So he decided to see what she was up to. And so Ash was soon properly seated with meat served before him and drinks at his side.

Ayra watched in amusement as he ate. Ash couldn’t possibly recall the last time he had enjoyed such a meal. A grand, spontaneous meal that he actually did enjoy.

He was throwing one piece of meat into his mouth from time to time while gulping it down with drink in merriment. Soon, the other beastmen were also allowed to join in the fun. And with the cooks, everyone was soon enjoying the meat prepared by Ayra.

The aroma had drifted out to the environment and some people had gathered around as well. Surprised at the strange delicacy prepared by this F-rank female, they were curious for some bite. And Ash was generous enough to share with everyone as if there was some sort of celebration.

Ayra had also taken the opportunity to enjoy some meat in the meantime before she ran hungry later on. And before long, it was already evening.

The beastmen were all sitting around there in the kitchen, drunk and spilling inaudible words while holding onto the piece of meat in their hands. The cooks were the same, sitting around halfway sober.

Ash was pretty much sober, but the meat had gone to his head that he spoke like one who was drunk. Ayra was shocked that he could even be sober after all this drink. She guessed she wasn’t putting him to sleep anytime soon.

Soon, she sat down beside him with a sigh, watching him eat. "You think of me as a glutton when you eat this much. You’ve been eating for long now, aren’t you tired?"

Ash scoffed. "You dare speak to the lord like that? Aren’t you scared for your life?" He demanded, gulping down wine.

Ayra sighed as she stared at the system notification.

[Fox Affection Level: 4%]

It had been like that for long now. And she had tried everything possible to please him by feeding. But it wasn’t increasing. She only needed one more for that damn reward! One fucking percent!

"Don’t you feel tired already? Don’t you think you should go and sleep?" She asked. Perhaps that was the next way to increase the affection level, she thought.

He stared at her. "Why do you want me to sleep? You want to do something to me?"

She smiled at him. "You’re being delusional."

"Speaking like that to the lord is unacceptable. You really have no fear." He ate another portion of meat and drank some more wine.

Ayra sighed, feeling exhausted. She simply looked around at everyone who were already drunk from the wine and meat. She was running out of ideas.

"Hey," Ash suddenly said as she turned to stare at her. "The meat came out nice."

Ayra blinked. "Of course it did, I made it."

"What a showoff," he muttered as he stared at his empty plate.

"What? Don’t tell me you want more meat? No, go and sleep already. Let me put you to sleep. I’m tired already."

Ash scoffed. "You think you can put me to sleep, huh? Can you even handle that?" He raised an eyebrow at her as he said, "I don’t sleep. So give up already. And I also don’t get drunk." He shook his head as he continued drinking.

Ayra blinked. "What the hell..." She muttered, wondering how accurate his words were. If so, was all her efforts in vain?!

".. but at least I can do something?" He stared at her, smiling.

Ayra raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Reward you as promised," Ash said, his eyes glued to her.

Ayra’s breath seized, confusion. She stared at his deep eyes on her, wondering what reward he was talking about. And before she could think further, Ash leaned closer, his nose brushing against hers and his lips softly pressing against hers.

It was a kiss. An unexpected stolen kiss. Her breath paused and her heart fluttered as his lips brushed into hers, his lips parting hers as his tongue made way into hers.

She had her eyes up while he closed his. And she witnessed his mouth going into hers in a hot session of exchange. Tongues playing, saliva gliding, intense mouth movement. Her brain was in a frenzy as this fox played hard with his mouth, almost turning her on for more.

And soon, he pulled back and stared at her. He smiled. "You taste so nice. That’s strange..." He immediately felt calm. His whole body responding to Ayra’s scent.

Ayra blinked as she watched Ash smile. He was getting too calm with a smile as his vision slowly got blurry. And then his nerves relaxed before he fell down to the ground, unconscious.

Soon, he was snoring.

Ayra smiled at the screen before her. "Wow, I guess it actually worked. Thank heavens!"

She smiled as she stared at the sleeping grown ass man on the floor. "Now to get you to your room."

Ayra tapped the other beastmen who woke up. And then she instructed they take him back to his lair. The drunk beastmen managed to take him back while Ayra also managed to sneak out of the kitchen while others were still unconscious and asleep in there.

And while other beastmen were busy gathered around the fire, singing and chanting some cringe memories or doing any other unhinged wild stuff, Ayra sneaked off to the stream and drowned herself in the luxurious bath with the soap and body wash she had acquired.
