After giving the ladies 100 million each, Kent parted with them to buy his own share of herbs for body tempering. Of course, Li Hua wasn’t happy about not receiving a million of her own, but she understood she wasn’t there yet.
Kent went to dozens of stores, looking to buy some of the best herbs he and the Tower could come up with. With loads of knowledge about alchemy in his mind, the process was much smoother.
Before leaving the God Realm, Vexthra advised him to get into body tempering. The reason was simple.
According to her, the earlier one gets into body tempering, the easier it will be for them when they reach the stage to become immortals.
They would have to temper their bodies in powerful treasures in order to form immortal qi, so tempering from the beginner stage is the best.
Of course, it’s very expensive, but with his current wealth, tempering with the best and most expensive treasures isn’t going to be a problem.
Since that was the case, he wasn’t about to let his wives and future ones lack in that regard. So he threw in 300 million spirit stones for them to use.
Of course, he trusted Lilian and Unity to know what to buy. After all, they had a direct line of contact with a Goddess, so knowing what to buy and what not to buy wasn’t going to be a problem.
Kent knew that when he managed to get such a link to Vexthra, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything ever again. But then, once he awakened the Tower upon reaching the grandmaster stage, everything would become easy for him.
Lilian and Unity visited many stores and spent 5 million spirit stones each, filling their space rings to the brim.
They never expected their lives to turn out this way, but thanks to Kent, they were now living the life of the rich and wealthy.
Of course, they planned to reward him with four rounds each when they returned.
As for Saintess Selene, although she was having a hard time taking Kent’s money, Li Hua didn’t allow her to back away from spending it.
In the end, Selene bought 4 million worth of herbs, and Li Hua spent a million on herself, as she also wanted to start tempering her delicate, tiny body.
With her future as an overpowered assassin set in stone, the least Kent could do was make her even more overpowered before she awakened her class and started laying waste to those who stood in her way.
After everything was done, Kent left with them and returned to the mansion. He wanted to visit a particular manager and perhaps bounce her ass for a few rounds before heading back.
But since he came with others, he postponed that plan.
He would return later to have some fun. For now, he planned to tie up some loose ends before using the compass to enter the God Realm and spend time with Vexthra, who would undoubtedly be shocked to see him.
When they returned to the mansion, Saintess Selene dragged Kent away to talk to him. Lilian and Unity took Li Hua aside to get to know her better.
It was their first time having alone time with her, and since they couldn’t talk much on their way to the bazaar, they decided to use this time to learn more about her.
After dragging Kent away, Saintess Selene led him to her room. Once inside, she let go of his hand and turned to face him.
“Tell me, why are you doing this?” she asked, looking deep into his eyes.
“You might want to clarify more, Master. What do you mean by what am I doing?” Kent replied, also gazing back at her, a smile playing on his lips.
“Don’t act dumb, Kent,” Saintess Selene said with a frown. “You know what I mean. Why are you spending so much money on me? What are your intentions toward me?”
Kent smiled and smirked. “You are my master, and as your disciple, it’s only natural for me to spend money on you.”
Kent didn’t mind spending money on her. He saw it as an investment for future gains. However, since he knew his master wouldn’t get angry, he failed to recognize the seriousness of Saintess Selene’s question.
But his cheeky answer made Saintess Selene shudder in anger, and she subconsciously unleashed her Peak Root Sage aura.
In an instant, Kent turned pale and dropped to his knees, gasping for air. The aura was thick and suffocating, making him feel like his soul was slowly leaving his body.
Then, just as suddenly, the aura vanished, and a pair of delicate hands steadied him. Kent immediately felt a surge of potent energy flowing into his body. The energy brought some color back to his face and filled him with vitality.
“I am sorry, Kent. I never meant to hurt you. I was just angry and subconsciously unleashed my aura. I am sorry,” Saintess Selene said, looking very guilty.
For a minute there, she lost her grip and nearly killed her precious disciple.
“I know you didn’t mean to hurt me, Master,” Kent said, using her as support to get back up. “It was my fault for angering you. I am sorry,” Kent said, forcing out a smile.
This sight broke Saintess Selene’s heart. She had wanted to know why Kent was spoiling her rotten, but in the process, she instead nearly killed her disciple.
But she wasn’t the only one having a thought. Kent was also having a moment of clarity and awakening.
Just now, he felt how weak he was, and for a moment, he got a reality check. He wasn’t invincible.
[Come on, bro. You are the man. Teach this cat who the tiger is.] Of course, the shameless Tower wouldn’t let Kent lose his pride.
It had planned to use Kent’s soul strength to teleport him away if things went sideways. Thankfully, Saintess Selene got back to her senses within seconds.
Kent sighed in his heart and chose to be Kent again.
Suddenly, he grabbed Saintess Selene by the waist and dragged her toward him, leaving no space between them. He looked into her eyes and smiled.
“You asked what my intentions are toward you. Well, my answer is simple. I want to get inside your pants. I want to pin you down on my bed and ravage you while you call me Master. And if that is not enough, I will make you sing it.
You should also know I plan on making you my woman. I plan on making you someone I can trust with my soul, and I plan to make you happy, strong, and capable.
So don’t worry. If a million is not enough, I will give you a billion. All you have to do is keep being my amazing master, who will soon become my woman.
And hey, if you are one of those fantasy women who are already betrothed to another man, don’t worry. I will sever their heads from their bodies to have you all to myself.
You can’t escape my claws, Master, so prepare your voice to sing when it happens.”
Kent flashed another smile, lowered his hands to her ass, and gave her a gentle squeeze.
The next second, he teleported away, leaving a flustered Saintess who lost control of her body from just a few words and a gentle squeeze of her ass.
