Demon Hunter: I have a red gourd

Chapter 90 "Friendly" Exchange

"Ivan, you're a demon hunter. Rumor has it that your style is very, um, open, isn't it?"

"Look at your reaction. How come you can't even match the courage of a woman like me?"

As Kaila spoke, her movements became bolder. She actually stepped forward and walked in front of Ivan.

"Oh, look at your eyes, they're really amazing." She stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched Ivan's face. "They're actually golden, just like a cat's."

"I've always been curious. Are your demon hunters' pupils like cats'? Do they automatically adjust in size based on changes in the surrounding light, or are they controlled by your consciousness?"

"It's automatically adjusted." Ivan answered Kayla's question expressionlessly.

"Demon hunters are the product of warlock magic. I thought you would understand yourself better than we do."

"You're overthinking it. I just graduated from Aretuza Academy and came to Temeria to serve as a royal advisor. This is my first time seeing a demon hunter, and the academy doesn't teach anything about demon hunters."

As Kayla spoke, she suddenly leaned forward and put her head directly on Ivan's chest. Her hair gently brushed against Ivan's skin, bringing with it a faint fragrance.

"I can hear your heartbeat, it's very slow. It seems that you are not as nervous as you appear." Kayla raised her head with a smile on her face.

"Can you control your adrenaline? If so, then when faced with danger and fear, wouldn't you be able to instantly unleash your potential, boosting your strength, speed, and reflexes to the extreme? Or, in your daily life, could you regulate it at will, keeping yourself calm and focused, and not letting your emotions sway you?"

"People outside say that demon hunters have been deprived of all emotions due to genetic mutations, but I don't think that's the case with you."

"And your badge, isn't it in the shape of a griffin's head?" Kaila stretched out her finger and tapped the silver chain on it. "I didn't expect you would wear it even in the shower."

"It's difficult for me to confirm whether the doubts you raise are due to your instinctive academic research interests as a sorcerer, or for some other inexplicable reasons."

This time, Ivan did not answer her question. Instead, he stood up, quickly grabbed the bath towel beside him, and wrapped it around his body.

Because Kayla was petite and only reached Ivan's chest, she had to tilt her head back slightly to look directly into Ivan's eyes.

"Of course it's both." She sighed softly, with a hint of obvious regret in her tone, as if she was very dissatisfied with Ivan's behavior.

Then, she looked Ivan up and down, revealing a smile of interest. "You are so tall and strong. But your face looks so young. It's really hard to understand. I can't help but be curious. How old are you this year?"

"If you are really curious, then I can tell you. I am sixteen years old this year, but it won't be long before I am seventeen." Ivan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Kira in front of him with a smile.

"However, as a courtesy, I would also like to know the age of this lady who claims to be elegant, noble, and dignified."

Upon hearing Ivan's age, a strange light suddenly flashed in Keira's eyes. That light was sharp and blazing, like a beast stalking its prey in the darkness, and it made Ivan's heart flutter. "Sixteen? You're so young! I never thought there could be such a young demon hunter!"

"I will definitely win this time." She bit her lower lip slightly and murmured to herself in a very soft voice.

Then, she rolled her eyes at Ivan in a playful and beautiful way, her long eyelashes fluttering, revealing the agility and cuteness of a young girl. Then, she raised her hand and gently punched Ivan's chest with her white fist.

"Don't you know that asking a lady's age is extremely rude?" She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of feigned dissatisfaction in her eyes, but she could not hide the faint smile at the corner of her lips.

"However, I can reveal a little bit. Don't think that warlocks are all old guys. Although I am not as young as you, I am also the youngest among the warlocks, not much older than you."

She sat in the chair opposite Ivan, looked at him teasingly, and tilted her head to comb her hair.

"Are you really only sixteen? Some parts of your body don't look like what you should look like at your age."

"How long are you going to keep up this rude talk? It's the farthest thing from a lady's behavior." Ivan said helplessly, "I'm almost done. I'll leave the bathroom to you. You don't really plan on showering in front of me, do you?"

"What's the big deal? I have nothing to be ashamed of." Keira raised an eyebrow, looking calm and composed. "Why, as a demon hunter, you don't dare to look?"

"Of course, seeing how young you are, you must have never seen a woman's body, right? If you are really too shy, then just turn around and listen to the sound of me showering and let your imagination run wild."

Ivan was a little slack at first, but he instantly became alert after hearing Kira's provocative words.

He sat back in the chair without hesitation, his back straight, his eyes sharp as torches, staring intently at Kayla.

Keira obviously hadn't expected Ivan to be so bold. The carefree smile on her face froze instantly, like a picture suddenly frozen in time. Even the movement of her hand combing her hair came to an abrupt halt, frozen in mid-air, appearing incredibly stiff.

This time, the initiative fell into Ivan's hands. He raised his chin slightly and hooked his finger at Kayla with a half-smile.

"Why aren't you continuing? Don't worry. Out of pure research, I'm equally curious about the sorceress's anatomy. I'll definitely appreciate it and study it diligently."

Ivan's blunt and slightly frivolous words were like a raging fire, instantly igniting Kayla's emotions. Her cheeks flushed red, spreading from her ears to her cheeks, like ripe apples.

A trace of panic flashed across her originally bright eyes, mixed with a bit of shame and annoyance. She bit her lower lip lightly, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

"Why, are you really scared? Why did you stop so suddenly? Where did that bold, open, and nonchalant spirit go? Could it be that at the critical moment, you want to back down?"

Ivan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Kayla's body, a provocative arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his words were full of teasing and provocation.
