Chapter 43: You are completely mine, body, soul and spirit

[Samira has joined the Harem! Title: The Adventurous Wife unlocked. Continue with dual cultivation and you can increase your level!]

[Your cultivation has advanced to the peak realm. Keep cultivating to advance to the next level.]

[Your rewards are still being calculated.]

Strax saw these messages in the morning. The bed was completely messy, and in his arms, Samira slept like an angel. They had spent almost half the night doing obscene things in the bathroom, and in the end, she passed out in the bathroom, and he had to carry her to bed. Both were still naked, and he just watched, pondering what should happen now.

"The System has limited my progress, but this is still interesting," he thought as he read a notification window.

[A lover's skill has been detected, Copy Love wishes to copy the 6* Fire Manipulation skill, do you wish to copy it?]

"Not yet," he replied, actually curious about something else. "When I defeated the ice bear, I obtained a similar skill...

"Glacial Ice Manipulation (5*)," he read, then the skill description was revealed.

[Glacial Ice Manipulation: Allows the user to create and manipulate ice, however, it only works for artificially created ice from water; naturally occurring ice cannot be molded.]

Strax still didn't know how to manipulate mana correctly, but he could already feel his core itching slightly in his chest. So, despite not having such control, he focused on this "itch" and tried to activate the skill.

"Ice Manipulation," he muttered, and a small icicle emerged from his hands. "This little thing... it hurt my back quite a bit last time. I imagine it could easily kill people who don't cultivate," Strax liked to analyze these things frequently whenever the system updated something in his body. After all, theoretically, the system was a guide for his development to progress, but...

"I need to get stronger... Xenovia is preparing something for me, and that's starting to bother me," he thought. In fact, currently, he wasn't even 1% of Xenovia's strength. He knew his sister, knew who she was and what her strength was... and that scared him.

He didn't understand what she was referring to.

"What do you mean? Let's go to the Ducate. I can't take too long, or they'll send the special guards. That will be a problem," Strax said, putting on the top of his clothes. "I'm not talking about that..." She muttered and gathered her courage. "I'm talking about us."

Strax looked at her. He really didn't know what to say, like "What about us?" he commented. "You're married!" She spoke quickly, blushing, after all, she really was, theoretically, being the lover at this moment. While Beatrice was working hard to sell the title, this woman was sleeping with her husband wildly... "Is that what you're worried about?

It's okay, you're mine," he said firmly, "Of course I'm worried! I don't want to be a mistress!" She replied quickly, and Strax could only laugh about it for a few seconds. "Hahaha, you're so cute."

"Stop laughing, you insolent! I'll burn you completely!" She said quickly, conjuring a fireball, but suddenly. "Not today, Sunshine," Strax said with a smile, and the woman's fire began to turn into a massive ice ball. "Huh?!" She quickly questioned, withdrawing her hand as she saw the ball forming and almost hitting her hand. "What did you do!" She roared quickly, and he approached her.

"A fire as hot as yours has to be extinguished, don't you agree?" For some reason... Samira thought maliciously about what he had said, but ignored her obscene mind and spoke again "I already said! I don't want to be a mistress!" She snarled.

Strax looked amused, but decided to speak seriously with her and looked deep into her eyes. "When I said you're mine, no matter your status, you're mine, only mine, and will always be only mine. My wife, my reason to live, my willpower. You are completely mine in body, soul, and spirit," he said, his eyes were like a black hole that began to swallow the woman slowly. "So...

beautiful," she said, murmuring to herself, seeing that man approaching her and holding her by the back as he prevented her from moving away.

"Forever," he spoke, completing his previous sentences and finally kissing her again, a rather aggressive kiss that lasted almost five minutes until she finally ran out of breath and pushed him back. "W-wait," she said, as she tried to recover. He, however, didn't yield to Samira's thoughts and concluded faithfully. "You will be my wife," he said, without even asking if she wanted to.

It was just an order and not a request.

And who was Samira these days? She was a woman completely in love who would do anything to move forward with this sneaky and charming man and she couldn't even deny it, after all, she wanted this.

"This bastard... why is he so..." She thought, trying to find words but she just nodded, Strax saw her and could only think about what an extremely cute woman she was.

"I hope I don't have any more problems... I need some time to enjoy my life with these beautiful ladies."
