“Is it necessary?” Lucian asked, as Alisa’s hand delivered another stinging slap to his left cheek.
Slap!
“Of course, otherwise wouldn’t they be suspicious of how it could have taken over 3 hours? But thanks to your current appearance, the Sect Master will think that you, too, have failed and that I’ve taken my anger out on you.” Alisa said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
“Aghh..! It hurts, you know! Are you really not taking your anger out on your weak husband!?” Lucian whined, his cheeks reddening from the impact.
She chuckled, admiring the handprints she’d left on his pale skin, “Now, now, my dear husband. You’re the one who suggested we make this believable. I’m just following your lead.”
She leaned down and kissed each reddened cheek gently, “Besides, as soon as you fully comprehend [Celestial Flame Lotus] to the ninth level, you can help me break through, and then we can stay together without being afraid of anyone.”
Alisa guided his hands to her ample breasts. Her soft, warm flesh filled his palms, and he couldn’t help but squeeze them.
Squeeze~ squeeze~
“Then you can punish me for this!” Alisa whispered sultrily, her grey eyes twinkling with mischief.
“So my wife is a masochist, hah!” Lucian chuckled, his thumbs brushing over her hardening nipples. He then started gently flicking his fingers up and down.
“Nmmmhh..” Alisa let out a soft moan, arching her back to press her motherly tits more firmly into his hands.
She whispered, “Only for you, my dear husband. But don’t get too excited now.”
Her hand snaked down between them, grasping his semi-hard cock. With a few strokes, she had him fully erect again.
“My, my,” she teased, “it seems this thick snake wants to enter a little hole again. But it’s a pity that we can’t indulge anymore right now.
We’ve already spent too much time here. We’ll have to save that for later, my eager husband.”
With a regretful sigh, she withdrew her hand, leaving Lucian aching for more.
She stood, her naked figure illuminated by the soft light given by the pearls. Her skin seemed to glow, and Lucian couldn’t help but admire the curves of her Gilfy body, the swell of her breasts, and the crack of her ass.
“Come,” she said, extending a hand to help him up, “Let me help you.”
…
“I’ve already sent your information to the Elder in charge of the Registration Hall. So you can come back tomorrow morning to get your identity token and official sect robes.”
Now they were back in the same cold room where Lucian first met her, but compared to before, their relationship had fundamentally changed.
Lucian nodded and leaned forward, capturing Alisa’s lips in a kiss.
slurp~ sclurp~ shluurp~ lickk~
His tongue slipped into her mouth, licking hers as they exchanged saliva. His hands moved to her voluptuous ass, kneading the soft flesh of her ass cheeks.
“mmpmmh~” Alisa moaned into the kiss, her body pressed against his. Her fingers tangled in his white hair, pulling him closer as their tongues intertwined.
He broke the kiss, trailing his lips along her jaw and down her slender neck. His teeth grazed her soft skin, leaving red marks.
Looking into Lucian’s crimson eyes, she said, “Elder Feng is standing outside, he’ll help you down the mountain. Just remember to act as if you are injured.”

Right now, Lucian was walking down the bustling street of Azure Sword City, his crimson eyes scanning the transparent scene before him.
Cultivators in flowing robes of various colors bustled past, as they went about their daily business. Street vendors called out, hawking everything from spirit fruits to low-grade talismans…
As he walked, Lucian was tempted by the upgrade option beside his Innate Fates, but then he remembered his mother’s unawakened physique and stopped himself.
The Dragon-Demon Physique, in particular, caught his eye. Upgrading it could surely increase his physical powers.
Although he didn’t upgrade any of them, it also revealed how much Fate Points he would be needing to do that.
“And the purple innate Fate…” Lucian smiled wryly as even with 2000 Fate Strands, it didn’t have an upgrade option.
What did it means?
His only purple Innate Fate, Gluttonous, seemed to be in a league of its own. Even with over 2000 Fate Strands at his disposal, the System didn’t offer an upgrade option.
He could only imagine the awe-inspiring abilities it might grant him once he could level it up.
As he pondered this, his gaze shifted to the newly unlocked option in his status panel.
He was a little surprised. Did Fate Points have such a function?
A smile bloomed on his lips as he considered the possibilities.
What he lacked now most was Cultivation resources. Even though Alisa had given him quite a bit, it would only be enough to sustain his cultivation for a short while.
And this new System option came at the right time.
Although he couldn’t use the full 2000 Fate Points, the extra 25 Strands he already had might be enough to stimulate a small opportunity.
Without hesitation, Lucian activated the [Heavenly Fate Opportunity], channeling his 25 Fate Strands into it.
Immediately, System Interface changed,
[25 Fate Points has been consumed successfully]
The next moment, another prompt emerged before his eyes.
[Three miles north of here, there is a small swamp. In the swamp, there is a newly matured, decade-old spirit plant.]
Spirit plant?!
Lucian eyes immediately lit up.
But before he could recover from his delight, an annoying voice echoed in his mind.
“Junior brother Lucian, congratulations for becoming a sect disciple.”
As he turned around, he noticed Xander approaching him with a friendly smile.
Closing the System panel, Lucian looked at him as he stopped in front of him.
Xander’s eyes gleamed with a mix of curiosity and warmth as he approached Lucian. His azure robes, rustled softly in the gentle breeze.
“Junior brother Lucian,” Xander said, his voice carrying a hint of admiration, “I heard you passed the test. Would you care to join me for a cup of wine to celebrate your admission into our sect?”
Lucian’s crimson eyes met Xander’s, and he could feel that, unlike before, when Xander’s presence had filled him with unexplained unease, he no longer felt threatened.
“Senior brother Xander,” Lucian replied “politely” with a cup of fist, “I would be honored to share a cup wine.”
Xander’s smile widened, revealing teeth, “Good. There’s a little winehouse not far from here, known for its exquisite red wine. Follow me.”
He turned around and began walking, leading Lucian through the bustling main street.
Soon, they entered a narrow alleyway, its entrance almost hidden between two towering bulidings.
As they stepped into the alley, the noise of the main street faded away, replaced by an eerie silence.
Unlike the bustling main road they had just left, the alley was empty of people. The walls on either side rose high, blocking out most of the sunlight and casting long, deep shadows across the cobblestone path.
“Senior brother, where is the winehouse you spoke of?” Lucian asked, his crimson eyes scanning the deserted alley.
Xander’s pace slowed, his back still facing Lucian, his lips curling into a sneer.
“Oh, junior brother, there is no winehouse. I merely wanted to have a private chat with you.” His hand moved to his waist, where a sword hung from his belt.
“Can you tell me when Elder Feng took yo—!!”
Puchi~!
However Xander’s voice abruptly stopped as he looked down, his eyes widening in shock and horror.
In that split second, before Xander’s Qi Sense which had been locked onto him, could capture the movement, Lucian had struck.
With lightning speed, he had withdrawn a hair-thin silver needle from his sleeve and thrust it upwards into Xander’s back.
The needle, pierced through Xander’s skin with ease, directly into his heart.
Blood trickled from the corner of Xander’s mouth as he slowly turned his head, his movements jerky and unnatural.
His eyes, once filled with arrogance, now held a mixture of fear and confusion as they met Lucian’s crimson gaze.
“Impossible… H-how…?” Xander choked out, blood bubbling from his lips.
Lucian’s crimson eyes gleamed coldly as he watched Xander struggle.
“You underestimated me, senior brother,” he said grinning, “Did you really think I would be so easily led into a trap?”
With a swift motion, Lucian withdrew the silver needle.
Xander’s body crumpled to the ground, his life force rapidly fading. Explore more adventures at empire
