428 Stop Pushing

"Don't tell anyone about this. We wouldn't want anyone to know about—Not unless you want to sell your hubby off to become a stallion that sleeps with other women all day and night." Leon said with a bit of mild teasing.

Darlene immediately nodded obediently like a pecking duck. She immediately made a mental note in her heart. If others learn about it, she will have less intimate time with her hubby. 

'I cannot let another soul learn of this secret!' Darlene silently vowed.

Although she knew she cannot monopolize Leon for herself, it did not stop her from trying while she still has him for herself.

After the female servant Tia, Chana, and Nora was untied, Leon walked over and handed them each a Tier 1 Healing Pill—A Tier 1 Healing Pill was enough to help them recover their light injuries.

"Swallow this." 

Tia, Chana, and Nora were simultaneously surprised when they received the small brown pellets each. They studied it for a moment before Tia asked, "What is this, Young Master?"

"Just swallow it, and you will know," Leon said bluntly without further explanation. Letting them experience the pill's effect themselves was the best explanation.

The three of them glanced at the pill suspiciously. After a moment, Tia, Chana, and Nora all popped the pill in their mouths decisively.

They had not done anything that would warrant the Young Master to harm. The Young Master was also hailed as a Divine Doctor, so it might be something good. 

The pleasant medicinal scent softly emitted from the pill was a testimony of this. Furthermore, they cannot reject the Young Master's orders either way.

Shortly after the Tier 1 Healing Pill was swallowed into their bodies, the pill immediately began working its magic. A pleasant feeling flowed through their bodies and soothed away their soreness.

Within several breathes, the pain in their bodies eased away, the swollen parts disappeared, and the light cuts and scratches recovered without any scars left behind.

"Wow, Tia! Your bruises and cuts are all gone!" Chana exclaimed with eyes while gazing at Tia.

Tia was startled and glanced back at Chana before her expression was also colored with surprises. 

"Wow! You too, Chana! Your injuries are all gone!"

"What kind of medicine is this? It's so effective—it's almost miraculous!" Nora said while feeling her cheeks and previously sore body parts. All the pain had vanished without a trace.

"Young Master, this is too amazing! You are too amazing!"

"Young Master is a Divine Doctor, after all!" 

Tia and Chana began chirping around Leon, singing praises, and hugging onto his arms each. Shortly after, Nora also joined them. 

Darlene glanced at them unbelievably.

Were these still the same sisters who unwilling to serve her hubby? They look like they are trying to fawn over him now. 

Their attitudes changed too quickly!

However, after a moment, Darlene started to become suspicious. They were getting too close and touchy with her hubby! No, they were not fawning! They were seducing him to earn his affections with hidden intentions!

Where was their dignity—their chaste maiden attitudes? Was it so easily thrown aside for the chance to cultivate?

'These vixens!'

Darlene gritted her teeth and immediately stormed over, pulling Leon away from the female servants.

"Hubby, how about we retire to the bedroom for the day?" Darlene suggested while hugging Leon's left arm. 

She threw a glance back at her sisters as if warning them not to thinking about it. It was like her silent message was saying, 'You all didn't like the idea of serving Young Master Leonhardt at first, so don't think about trying to seduce him! He is mine!'

The three female servants Tia, Chana, and Nora, immediately understood the underlying message and immediately puckered their lips in protest. 

'You can't do that! You cannot have the Young Master to yourself! You still owe us an explanation for the suffering we underwent in vain!'

Nevertheless, they can only glare back in silence. They did not have the courage to voice their demands in front of Darlene. 

Invisible fiery sparks clashed between their gazes, but that was it. The female servants were passive because they were the newcomers. 

Shortly after, they could only watch as the Young Master nodded and pulled away to the bedroom by their sister Darlene.

"Let us get familiar with the area first. This place could use some tidying and clean up after." Chana sighed. Cleaning was what they do as servants.

The other five servants quickly agreed.

Inside the bedroom, Leon glanced at Darlene, who stuck close to him. He studied her slight blush and asked, "Are you in heat again?"

Darlene glanced up into Leon's eyes with a passionate gaze and wrapped her arms around his neck slowly. 

"I still haven't expressed my gratitude and how grateful I am for the clothes you bought for me. It must have cost a lot of Dark Crystals, right?" Darlene asked.

Leon shook his head before he said, "The cost is nothing—so long as you are happy."

"I am very happy! Say—How should I thank you?" Darlene said coquettishly while licking her lips.

Leon's lips curved slightly before he said, "There's no need for such things as thank you between us… But it seems like you already know how you want to thank me, so I will just be taking you up on your offer."

Darlene giggled and willingly let Leon pick her up like a princess and carry her to their bed to make love. Their clothes were slowly undressed… the following details will be omitted.

…

Several hours later, Darlene laid on top of Leon's bare chest, exhausted with a content look.

The moans in the room have stopped, and the sweats from their steamy session of passionate lovemaking could be seen on her lustrous, smooth body.

"Hubby, I think I seemed to have grown stronger again…" Darlene said with doubt in Leon's embrace, feeling the changes in her body. This time, she did not fall asleep. 

Leon inspected her body before he stated, "Un, you've just broken through to 2-Stars Ranked Awakener Realm.

"Will this continue to happen everything time we copulate?" Darlene asked with a pleasant surprise.

'Was it actually so easy for her to become stronger without cultivating? Wasn't this too amazing?' She thought.

However, Leon shook his head and said, "No, not every time. That would be too heaven-defying. You still need to cultivate to make the most out of it."

"Oh…" 

Darlene was a little disappointed. Even so, her resolve and determination to cultivate harder were strengthened.

"Do you still remember the circulation route and element gathering process I taught you last time?" Leon asked.

"Mm!"

"That's good. Next, I will teach you a simple breathing technique to help you gather these elements more quickly. Come follow these steps…" Leon began to instruct her on the rhythmic breathing exercise. 

The simple breathing technique was to gather the elements through her mouth and lungs. After teaching her the simple breathing technique, Leon mentioned that the ultimate goal was to achieve the advanced breathing technique.

The advanced breathing technique was to breathe through one's pores and gather the elements into the energy center directly, which was the Black Hole in her case—the Spatial Seed.

Darlene took in all his words seriously despite being glued together. It was quickly memorized in her heart after a few rounds.

"Alright, let us get dressed and practice outside," Leon said.

Darlene immediately tightened her arms around Leon. She was a bit reluctant to part from her comfortable position.

Nevertheless, the determination to cultivate overcame her.

"Alright."

After rubbing her cheeks on Leon's chest like a purring cat for a moment, she finally agreed and got up groggily. 

Leon got up and went for a quick bath. After he was done, he got dressed and refilled the bathtub with fresh, clean water for Darlene to use next.

"You'll feel more rejuvenated after a cold bath and meditated cultivation later. I'll wait for you outside." 

"Mm."

After Darlene nodded, Leon made his way over to open the doors and head out.

"Shh, stop pushing—!" 

"Shh, I can't hear anything."

Muffled whispers could be heard outside. The moment Leon pulled open the doors, Tia and Chana fell forward into his chest, followed by the rest of the female servants behind them.

Leon glanced down and questioned them, "What are you all doing?"

"Y-Young Master!" 

Tia and Chana immediately retreated with blushes while female servants immediately scurried back to their feet with taut backs and panicky expressions.

"What were you all doing, lurking outside the room?" Darlene scowled from the bed while covering herself with the fur blanket.

"W-We were…"

They did not know how to explain.

Leon waved them off with a soft sigh and said, "There's no need to explain. Just don't do it next time."

"Y-Yes, Young Master!"

The female servants shortly made way for Leon to step outside. As he walked out, his gaze landed on the neat and tidy courtyard. 

The entrance was missing, and holes were still present in the walls; however, the ground was swept clean. All the peddles and rock were moved to one side while the small logs and broken wood moved to another.

"Oh? You girls did a pretty good job." 

"Thank you for your praise, Young Master."

The female servants curtsied with their heads slightly lowered. Leon pulled them up and glanced at them for a moment.

"Join me in the courtyard. I will teach you all how to cultivate."

"Yes, Young Master!"

The female servants were immediately overjoyed after hearing Leon's words.

Leon will teach them what they need to know, but it will depend on how quickly they will awaken after his teachings.
