Strongest Mage with the Lust system - Chapter 845: Checking Out Their New Home
Chapter 845: Checking Out Their New Home
Zenovia couldn’t help but shake her head when she heard this.
He wanted her to keep placing her hopes on a force which had clearly started to crumble from inside out and had several powerful enemies eyeing them like hungry wolves?
She clenched her fists, various kinds of thoughts popping in his mind. She knew if she wanted her family to survive, the most logical thing to do was to find a powerful enough force, like the Xuno family, and give them the Key they were lusting after so badly in exchange for protection.
Unfortunately… she couldn’t bring herself to betray her Grandfather’s trust.
Sigh!
She sighed in resignation and plopped back into her chair.
…
After leaving the City Lord Manor, Torin and Uncle Yagui hovered in the sky.
“Father won’t like this.” Torin said after a while.
Uncle Yagui nodded.
Torin thought for a moment and then carefully suggested, “Uncle Yagui, why don’t we make them hand over the Key by force?”
“We can’t.” Uncle Yagui rejected the suggestion without missing a beat, his expression turning solemn, “Don’t even think about it again unless Master himself orders it.”
Torin was caught off guard by his sudden seriousness. Then, his brows furrowed as he asked, “Why can’t we, Uncle Yagui? Apart from the Zen Ancestor, there is no other Emperor to protect them. Even if others in the city try to stop us, I’m sure you can hold them back.”
“You don’t understand, young master.” Uncle Yagui shook his head and then switched to the divine sense transmission, [This is Beast Emperor Hall’s domain. Even if there was no Emperor in the Zen family or Malta city to stop us, we still would have been unable to snatch the Key from them.]
[Isn’t the Beast Emperor Hall just a declining Emperor Power? What need is there to fear them?] Torin asked in confusion but his expression was also turning solemn.
It seemed there were indeed things he wasn’t aware of. ’No wonder father only asked me to discuss things with the Zen family.’
[I can only tell you, Young Master, that they aren’t an ordinary Emperor Power which is why even the Monarch Powers like the Xuno family are wary of them. But it’s indeed true they are declining. Maybe in a few years, these powers wouldn’t be as wary and would directly attack them.] Uncle Yagui said, inwardly sighing.
Then before Torin could ask anything, he grabbed him and flew out of the city.
Swoosh!
“Wait, Uncle Yagui. I have things to do in Malta city.” Torin hurriedly called out, but the old Emperor replied with just, “No, you don’t.” and continued flying away.
In a courtyard some distance away from the City Lord Manor, two people watched them leave.
Taking a sip of the tea, one of them—a refined middle-aged lady in ocean blue robes—faintly smiled, “They are the third Monarch Power to leave empty handed. How interesting!”
“Yeah. Things are becoming more and more troublesome for the Beast Emperor Hall. I wonder how they plan to deal with everything.” The other person, a young man also dressed in ocean blue robes, said thoughtfully before looking at the woman.
“Third Elder, why don’t we help them a little? They used to be a force comparable to ours, after all. I don’t like the fact that even the ants are bullying them now.”
“This is what happens when you are weak.” The woman calmly said and continued to sip her tea.
The young man sighed in exasperation. I was suggesting to you to help them, not lecture me.
…
After returning to the Inn, Max contacted Ellie via communication crystal and found out Ling Han was yet to return.
After asking if everything was alright, he entered the tower.
Esme and others were still cultivating while Gene, Noah and Nyra were touring the Palace.
Not wanting to disturb their cultivation, Max was about to enter the Palace quietly to see how it was when as if sensing his presence, Esme, Rima, Ella, and Maria opened their eyes.
They first noticed the large Palace and couldn’t help but marvel at it, this was true especially for Rima, Maria and Ella.
Swoosh!
While Esme, Ella and Maria slowly stood up, Rima was already rushing toward Max. Arriving near him, she jumped toward him, her arms opened wide.
Max chuckled and caught her in his arms. Immediately, Rima tightly hugged him, her arms around his neck and her legs wrapping around his waist, she hung on him like a koala.
After taking a deep breath and inhaling his scent, she gave him a quick kiss on the lips before releasing him and turning her attention to the Palace.
“It’s beautiful.” She muttered before grabbing his hand and pulling him along toward the Palace.
“…”
Max stared at her in a daze. Now, the Palace is more important than me, huh?
Swoosh!
Esme, Maria and Ella appeared beside him. Noticing his expression, Esme glanced at Rima and chuckled, “She is excited because this is going to be our own home.”
Max nodded and then kissed her on the cheek before pulling Ella beside him and putting his hand around her waist.
A happy smile appeared on Ella’s face at this gesture but then she quickly glanced at Esme, fearing she would feel left out and might even become jealous of her but sighed in relief when she saw her smile at her in understanding.
Then, to her astonishment, her voice sounded in her ears, [Select your room after everyone and pull Husband inside if you want to be pampered by him.]
Ella blushed red in embarrassment but lightly inclined her head which made Esme smile.
Since Ella was his woman, Esme wanted her to become strong enough to take care of herself in case Max and others weren’t there with her. And what more effective way was there to get stronger quickly other than having sex with Max?
Not only her, she wanted Ellie, Maria, Rima and even Anna and others to get stronger too so Max wouldn’t be too concerned about them.
Unfortunately, while she could create opportunities for Ella, Ellie, Maria and Rima since they were already his women or were willing to be, she was helpless about others.
She turned around to look at the Anna, Esther, Garima and Maria still cultivating and saw them open their eyes—the commotion had aroused them from their cultivation.
“Come, let’s check out our new place.” She smiled.
