Chapter 216 : Parting (1)

"I promise you to become the strongest possible as soon as possible, so that I can guarantee your safety, that of our future children, and that of our entire family," Alex said with a solemn expression.

Anna remained silent for a moment before lightly nodding her head. "I believe you," she said with a soft chuckle, "though it's no luck for you, it's my safe day."

Alex smirked at her words, "I guess that means we'll have to try a few more times before getting you pregnant."

Anna suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine. "Um, s-sure, but if you don't mind, I'll take a rest right now," she said with a stuttering tone.

Before he could add anything, she settled into a comfortable position in his arms and tightly closed her eyes.

"Good night I guess," Alex chuckled and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Before long, Anna's breathing slowed, and she fell asleep, her body sinking into the comfort of Alex's arms.

'Show me Anna's status,' Alex addressed the system a moment later.

An instant later, a translucent blue screen appeared before Alex.

[Name: Annaline Maxwell

Age: 35

Level: 3

Strength: 40

Agility: 50

Stamina: 30

Defense: 30

Mana Points: 40

Abilities: Phantom Veil; Darkness

'No changes,' Alex remarked with a sigh, glancing at the screen displaying Anna's stagnant stats.

Despite the fact that weeks had passed, none of Anna's stats had increased. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing; in fact, it was usual for ordinary individuals to not have a rapid growth of their attributes after weeks.

'Still, with how things are going, it would take her or even years to reach level 4,' Alex noted.

Although Anna was at the high tier of level 3, breaking through level 4 was going to take too much time because each time she absorbed mana through a mana core, she needed to wait for her body to get accustomed.

It wasn't to say that Anna was untalented; it was quite the opposite! At barely 35 years old, she had already reached level 3 and was nearing level 4. For most people, achieving such levels took over sixty years, and for geniuses, at least fifty years!

Genius here designates people whose body constitution allows them to quickly progress through levels. The body constitution may be one that allows them to absorb a larger quantity of mana compared to others, or one that quickly digests the absorbed mana to allow one to absorb mana once again after a short lapse of time, or the combination of both constitutions.

For Alex who could absorb mana through mana core and never feel the need to pause, the concept of genius was completely meaningless.

The moment Anna removed her panties, remnants of Alex's sperm leaked out of her pussy, trailing down her thick thighs in a tantalizing trickle.

"If your goal here is to excites me, you are doing a great job," Alex commentated as he stared at Anna with lust evident in his eyes.

Alex quickly rose to his feet, enveloping Anna in his embrace as he drew her close to his chest.

The instant their bodies pressed against each other, Anna felt Alex's hot member pressing against her stomach, twitching.

"Should we go for a second rou-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Anna pushed him, swiftly extricating her body from his.

"People are already waking up, we can't do anything right now," Anna said with a blush on her face.

Alex glanced behind him and confirmed that some of his subordinates were already stirring awake.

"A pity," Alex sighed, "it will have to wait for another time I guess," he added a moment later.

He gave Anna a peck on her plump lips and then stooped to retrieve his own clothes.

Much like Anna's, Alex's clothes were also dirty, so he had to change into new attire.

He wore a long-sleeved silver jacket embroidered with gold that extended past his waist. It was buttoned halfway up on the right side, with loose sleeves reaching just above his wrists, adorned with fancy bands at the edges. He paired it with comfortable-looking pants of the same gray hue.

Although the clothes he wore weren't the most flashy, it still gave him a dignified appearnmance all the while being comfortable.

'Good,' Alex nodded to himself with a satisfied smile.

"I'm going to wake the others and prepare for our departure," Anna said.

When Alex stole a glance at her, he couldn't help but gulp in astonishment.

The dress she wears is an elegant and tight fitted black dress that clung to her body and showed off her assets in a provocative manner all the while without seeming lusty. The cuffs of her dress are adorned with delicate white embroidery against the backdrop of black fabric.

Her dress didn't reveal too much skin, and even her cleavage and most of her slender legs were completely hidden. But despite that, the combination of the graceful curves of her body and her lovely visage was enough to drive any man crazy and cause even a pious man to sin.

Witnessing her figure, Alex realized that he was nowhere close to having released all his pent-up lust after yesterday's intercourse.

Alex closed the distance between himself and Anna, delicately grasping her chin in his fingers as he spoke with a playful grin, "I had given up on a second round, but seeing how sexy and alluring you look right now, I might have to reconsider." As he spoke, Alex reached out to wrap his arm around Anna's slender waist.

However, just as his hand was about to close in on her, Anna swiftly evaded it.

"Like I said, I'm going to wake the others and prepare for our departure," she said with a giggle.

Before Alex could say anything, she took off, lightly running towards their carriages, her laughter ringing out like bells.

'She's smiling more and more now,' Alex thought, smiling as he watched Anna leave.

Although he found her cute when she wore her usual cold expression, Alex was also pleased to see Anna smiling more the longer they spent together.

'I guess you will have to wait tonight,' Alex thought as he glanced down at his rock-hard dick.

"Well, it might not be a bad thing."
