Chapter 208 - The day of the trial

We made a mistake.

While it was not as grave as to define our futures, but despite all the efforts we put into keeping our relationship with Lucia a secret, falling asleep and making her stay in our room for the entire night, rendered all of our previous attempts worthless. It wasn't hard to deduce what was going on from her casual visits in our place, but there wasn't any definite proof for it, giving her at least a bit of leeway in figuring out an excuse for her coworkers, but now, everyone knew that she gave herself to me with certainty!

In an attempt to take responsibility for this mishap, the moment that we woke up, I fed her with enough energy and information to make her finally reach the pinnacle of the mortal realm, the spirit attainment level. While I could easily peer into her cultivation to gauge what kind of spirituality did she obtain, the wish to respect at least this tiny amount of her privacy prevented me from doing so.

Considering how our relationship turned to be a public secret already, it would only add spice to the topic if her cultivation remained the same as it was before! While she could still temper her aura down to the mind menace level thanks to the ability I bestowed upon her, I guess there were people who already knew that she broke through that rank long ago!

After talking this matter through, we finally managed to convince Lucia to give up her current work at the first moment she could do so without facing the wrath of her manager, for the sake of following us for the time being. Even if my guidance were to end at this point, she already greatly benefited from it, reaching the cultivation stage she could only dream to achieve in a normal way, not to speak about her strength already surpassing that of a developing core, spiritual cultivators!

During the remaining two days, I continued to harvest the energy from both of the girls, and this time I didn't wait to invest the points that I gathered. Maxing out both my constitution and wisdom, I finally got rid of all the effects and risks coming from entropy poisoning and raised the cultivation that I shared with Eve to the very top of the level of the expanding senses.

While I couldn't feel any difference in my perception after we reached this point because of all the others benefits granted to me by the system, according to Eve's testimony, she was able to create a subspace around her, where nothing would be able to escape her sight or hearing! At some point, I even pitied myself for being so overpowered, when I learned that Eve was able to feel the changes in such sublime things like temperature or the speed of the wind in her immediate surroundings, but I guess that's the price I have to pay for being peerless.

Even if this isn't something outright understandable, ability to sense the smallest changes of the temperature just a meter away from one's body is the very first thing that exceeded the scientific approach of mine. You could argue that my fireballs or even the cultivation itself were unscientific, but with so many fantasy novels stored in my memories, I had more than a hundred explanations for every phenomenon occurring in this world so far.

But sensing the temperature changes? While I never excelled in the field of physic or general science, I spend a lot of my time on earth watching various videos tackling those topics, unable to sate my sheer curiosity. Starting with one Mytube video, turning to the entire channel, then to various sponsored services like curiosityriver or other streaming platforms… It was only thanks to them that I knew that temperature was in fact just speed or rather intensity of particles vibration!

One could say that it could be derived from quantum physic, where terms like distance, time or causality lost their meaning, but that wouldn't change what I said since I clearly admit to being unable to understand this! I wonder how some real scientist would react if he were to be transported to such cultivation or another isekai world!

With our cultivation raised all the way to the third stage, I didn't forget to teach Eve the spirit concealment ability, realising that she would do a far better job at driving it than me. Not used to cultivation at all, I would just forget about it and allow others to realise that despite breaking through to the spiritual realm, we already reached expanding senses level!

Even though two days of vacation sounded nice, in the end, we spent it at nothing else but fucking around and finding new and new ways to utilize the furniture and the room structure to create more and more creative positions!

When Venna finally sent someone to pick us up and guide us for the court trial, I was already too tired from all the adventures that both of the girls brought me on to continue heeding their evergrowing demands. It felt like just laying with them was enough to cultivate their libido to greater depths!

I guess this saying is true, that any man who thinks he is horny, never met a truly lascivious woman!

"Looking at your face, I guess you couldn't help but worry about the trail… But fret not, this big sister will take care to not let those old pricks bother you!"

When we finally met with Venna outside of the city hall main mansion, she instantly scanned me with her eyes and assured me. I guess she mistook my exhaustion for a side effect of anxiety! Didn't she know that I came up with the auction house initiative only to humiliate both Dracons and Katenaris? If that were to be the case, I would have to recalculate my odds for sticking with her! For now, though, I had to swallow my doubts and hope that she only tried directly the attention of the crowd surrounding us away from the matter of Lucia, that was sure to surface on the coming trial!

"You don't need to worry about it. I can't wait for them to try to cross my bottom line."

If those fuckers though that military strength was the only way to devastate someone, they will learn about the prowess of rumours and trade! No matter what kind of world this is, I have two thousand years of accumulated experience of scamming others, crystalised in the few modern scamming methods prepared just for their sake!
