Chapter 447: Separation and Growth Spirituality

Wenna walked out of the magic hut with two cups of water and handed them to the two of them.

She glanced at the man.

His blood qi was abundant, his spirit sharp.

For five full days, the opportunity never ceased.

Is this even a human?

Though Wenna had no experience, she understood basic bodily mechanics.

At the very least, this man's vitality was unique on the continent.

"What are you staring at?"

Eve sensed her gaze, her face cold, glaring at her with warning.

The Naga's serpent pupils startled Wenna.

She wanted to cry, took back the empty cups, and walked away weakly.

"Don't scare her."

Luo De hugged Eve and lay back on his back, bending his knees and pushing off the ground.

"Huh? What? Feeling sorry for her?"

"Jealous? Aren't I pampering you right now?"

"Heh, our relationship is purely physical—what's there to be jealous of?"

She sneered.

Then she clung tightly to Luo De's neck, pressing their chests together, tighter and tighter, even squeezing through her own thick, soft fat.

As if hoping to press against the man's heart.

The man's scent filled her nostrils; she was lost in ecstasy.

Damn man.

After all these days, she should've been numb by now, but that damn 【Enchanting Fluid】 and 【Green Vine Mutual Healing】 kept working—stimulating while repairing.

As she mentally sculpted her battle spirit, she hooked her strong tongue around his ear and said:

"Sertalin has lost patience—he says he'll come tonight to inspect. Mother won't indulge me staying here anymore."

Eve would leave beyond the magical seal of the White Dragon Tomb to show her face.

Her excuse to her mother Lillian was that she was using the magical seal to boost her spiritual accumulation.

Of course, Lillian didn't believe it at first.

After all, such a thing had never been heard of.

But later, seeing Eve's spiritual accumulation surge daily, she decided to assist and kept others away.

Deceiving Sertalin Shaobuliao her help.

Now that someone's come to inspect progress,

It's time to pack up and leave.

"Come with me. Stay a while in the Mirror Desert? I'll show you around and help you build your battle spirit."

"Next time. The Windwall Forest has been busy lately."

Hearing the refusal, Eve's face betrayed unmistakable disappointment.

Luckily, she was still in his embrace—he didn't see that expression.

Luo De moved to kiss and comfort her, but she turned her head away.

"Coral Bay again?"

When the demon Artu invaded Stonehenge, Eve happened to be there, so she knew a bit about the situation.

"Yeah, they summoned two dragons—putting heavy pressure on the surrounding Jushi."

"Two dragons?"

Eve was startled, instinctively worried about Luo De's situation—but remembered he'd just refused her.

So she snorted: "Don't expect me to help."

Then she felt she'd been too harsh and selfish, softening her tone: "I mean, I can't bring other kin to help—but I'll come. It's a fair trade, right?"

"So are you coming or not?"

Luo De smiled.

His hand slid to her lower back, gently massaging upward along her spine, vertebra by vertebra.

Eve felt the heat of his palm spreading from her spine to every part of her body, rising, burning straight to her skull.

Along with the continuous motion below.

Her body trembled as if electrified, her serpent pupils quivering uncontrollably.

Then she stiffened again.

"Annoying."

Luo De brushed her thick, sweat-dampened hair away from their bodies, kissed through its scent, and infused 【Growth Spirituality】.

【Growth Spirituality used successfully】

【Eve gained skill: Battle Spirit Impact +1】

【Details: Growth Spirituality enhanced Eve's existing spiritual technique. Skill. Lve 】

【Eve gained skill: Petrification Aura】

【Details: When activated, this skill has a chance to petrify enemies within a certain radius and increases physical damage they receive.】

【Eve gained skill: Battle Spirit Impact +2】

【Eve gained skill: Solar Blessing】

【Details: While under sunlight, strength, speed, and constitution are greatly enhanced; affinity for fire and light elements increases; exposure to sunlight aids spiritual growth.】

【Eve gained skill: Radiant Scales】

【Details: Activates spiritual scale armor that envelops the body, emitting blinding light that causes brief blindness or dizziness in enemies who stare directly.】

【Remaining Growth Spirituality: 7】

Eve's brows and eyes twisted in pain.

She pulled away from Luo De's oral gymnastics.

After a long while, she looked down at the man beneath her, eyes wide with delight:

"Growth Spirituality?!"

"Not bad, right?"

"Didn't you say you didn't have any?"

"I'm so generous—I squeeze it all out for you."

Eve's face lit up with a brilliant, exquisite smile.

She grabbed Luo De's head and began devouring him wildly.

Luo De poured all 57 remaining points into her—since she hadn't reached the seventh tier, each enhancement only required 10 points.

He hadn't expected 【Battle Spirit Impact】 to jump straight to +2.

Clearly, Eve had a natural affinity for battle spirits—her breakthrough to seventh tier was inevitable.

【Eve's obedience toward you +7, current obedience: 65】

【Obedience surpassed 60】

【Shared Skill: Slash Burst】

【Details: A unique slashing technique developed by the four-armed Naga Eve. Each weapon swing adds an extra slash, usable only with swords or knives, and applicable to spiritual techniques. Cooldown: 60 seconds.】

Huh?

At first glance, it seemed useless.

Luo De's 【Aetheron Flash】 had already reached 【Twelve Flashes】—what's the point of an extra slash?

But upon closer look:

The part saying "applicable to spiritual techniques" was interesting.

If he applied it to 【Twelve Flashes】, wouldn't it become 【Twenty-Four Flashes】?

Luo De's eyes lit up.

It seemed very feasible.

Paul was frantic.

Since returning to Axe Beach to report to Lord Virgil about the Naga, five days had passed.

He had tried several times to enter the deepest part of the magical seal, but the Naga had refused each time, citing secrecy.

He understood.

On the continent, many techniques were tightly held by specific races.

The most famous were the ascension rituals of the legendary and domain mages of the Aetheron Kingdom.

Even older ones existed—like the traditional elf forest ascension rites.

These were classified as top-secret, absolutely forbidden to expose.

As a person Lord Virgil had marked as promising, Paul couldn't tolerate five days with zero progress to report.

Even though he sent animal messengers daily to Axe Beach, claiming everything was fine.

Sometimes he even forged fake Naga ritual progress to show he was fully in control.

But no more!

This evening, Lord Virgil will come in person to inspect!

Before that, I, Paul, must sneak in to take a look—to ensure I've prepared an excuse in advance!
