Chapter 40: Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 40: Sleeping Beauty

Azmond immediately crossed out the idea of waking Crystalline up by force again.

This time was different from the last time. She was completely exhausted and needed rest.

If he were to forcibly wake her up again, then some damage might be inflicted upon her psyche... And Azmond would never allow something like that to happen to his love because of mere carnal desires.

He'll just suck it up and get over not being able to relieve himself...

That's just the way he was.

......

He hasn't always been like this. In his past life, he couldn't care less if a random girl was hurt right in front of him, especially if that girl interrupted his training time.

But... something changed... Something changed when Azmond entered this brand-new world.

Or rather, when he met a short, beautiful girl with long silky blue hair and dazzling aquamarine-colored eyes.

That was when a change started to occur within him—a change that would forever alter his future...

That budding feeling only grew when he met a gorgeous Ice Queen who wanted absolutely nothing to do with him when they first met, a girl who refused to cover herself up because she believed that Azmond was already a dead man the moment he gazed at her bare body the way it came into this world...

At least, that was the way she initially thought... until she got to know the real Azmond, an Azmond who she fell in love with in such a short amount of time that even she couldn't believe herself...

After all these events, he changed... He changed for the better.

He pursued a path of power that would lead him to the top; that goal hadn't changed a single bit, but... Azmond now had yet another reason to pursue the peak!

Weakness wasn't a sin that he was allowed to indulge himself in...

......

"..."

Crystalline's sensual figure was in full view as Azmond could see every part of her, from her two large tits and their pink nipples all the way down to her beautiful rose petal that was still opening and closing like it was looking for something long and hard to fill its tight hole.

Even her long, sexy legs and thick thighs were seen by him as the sweat from her body traveled down every single mound and hill that made up the shapely figure of the Ice Beauty called Crystalline.

That was a thought that Azmond preferred not to think about right now... Something in his subconscious refused to allow questions like that to reach him... It was almost like his very existence rejected the mere thought of that situation becoming a reality...

......

"..." Azmond gazed back at Crystalline with a small obsessive smile as he reassured himself that he would always be strong enough to protect his Little Ice Flower...

He then walked away from her after putting up dozens of protective barriers and sensors that would allow him to immediately know if she got in any sort of danger.

It was complete overkill for a not-so-defenseless woman...

After all, she was a Late Golden Core Realm cultivator, for god's sake...

Not many beings out in the Great Wildlands Forest would even have the guts to look in the direction of Crystalline!

Azmond and the Goblin King were just rare irregularities...

Cultivators with the combat strength of the Nascent Soul Realm were few and far between within the Great Wildlands forest.

He was just overcautious, but that was just the way he needed to be if he wanted himself and his loved ones to survive in this cruel dog-eat-dog world.

...

2 days later.

"..."

Azmond was seen cultivating atop a tall cliff with a gorgeous, picturesque view that beat any sight back on Earth.

He had on his usual white and black robe, with his sword-like eyebrows knitted together tightly as he was focused on cultivating.

His deep blue eyes shimmered in the morning glow as a pained look spread across his handsome face.

It was a sight that would make any mortal think he was a fallen immortal who got lost on his way to heaven...

Well, a very bloody immortal, that is...

That's right, even after meeting Crystalline, Azmond never even entertained the idea of going easier on himself just because he met a girl he loved!

In actuality, he was cultivating harder than ever before as he started to resemble that of a corpse, with how much blood was covering his entire body from head to toe...
