Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 614  Sophie [2]

”Extreme measures?” Riva asked, frowning.

Max hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, ”Iʼll tell you later. You go procure some Vitality boosting pills and prepare something nourishing for her to eat. You have an hour.”

After saying this, he entered Sophieʼs room and closed the door.

Riva stood there, feeling uneasy, ”What is he going to do?”

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her uneasiness, ʼAs long as he can heal her, it doesnʼt matter what methods he uses.ʼ

…

”Mother…?” Sophie muttered when she heard the sound of doors closing.

Unexpectedly, instead of hearing her motherʼs voice, she heard an unfamiliar male voice, ”Your mother has gone to prepare some things.”

”You… the doctor?” Sophie asked.

Max walked over, climbed onto the bed and sat beside her, ”Yes. I am. Now, Iʼm going to start healing you. If you feel some discomfort, donʼt panic and stay calm, alright?” Though he knew the chances of her feeling any discomfort very low, he advised her just in case.

Sophie seemed to sigh before she assented, ”...Okay.”

Max shook his head. She seemed to have completely given up and didnʼt believe she could be healed. He didnʼt blame her for it, however. After all, she must have watched many of her family members, who were in similar conditions to her, die without anyone able to heal them. For her, her condition was incurable.

Taking a breath, he placed a hand on her chest and started channeling his bloodline energy into her heart and blood. After diagnosing her, he already knew his bloodline energy wasnʼt potent enough to heal her magic foundation and he needed Nascent Energy to do that. However, the problem was… Nascent Energy could only be produced when he copulated with a woman. So, he first wanted to improve her bodily condition by giving her heart and blood some vitality via his bloodline energy infusion. Once she was able to move around, he would give her some Vitality boosting pills and let her eat something. After that, she would be able to help him create some Nascent Energy that he could then use to heal her foundation.

Though it felt weird that he planned to have sex with her given her current condition, he didnʼt have any choice. Moreover, it was going to help her, so it was only right.

Sophieʼs brows creased when she felt his hand on her chest but a moment later, they smoothed out when she felt a warm and gentle energy enter her body.

”What… is this?” She asked.

”Itʼs my bloodline energy. It has a strong vitality but unlike those pills your mother gives you, itʼs very tame.” Max explained.

Sophie shook her head a little, ”Itʼs no use… my body canʼt retain vitality for long.”

”Itʼs alright. As long as you can feel better for a few hours, itʼll be enough.” Max said.

”Once you are in a better condition, Iʼll be able to heal your Magic Foundation. You know what will happen if your foundation gets healed, right?” He asked.

”Yes… my body will be able to retain vitality and… I will get better.” Her murky eyes became wet when she said this. She then asked, ”But can you… do that… Heal my foundation?”

”I definitely can. But youʼll need to cooperate with me. As long as you cooperate, youʼll be better in no time.” Max said.

Sophie was silent for a while before she said, ”...I believe you.”

”Oh?”

Seeing how she seemed to have given up all hope already, he thought she wouldnʼt believe his words, so he was a little surprised when she say this.

He didnʼt know Sophie was also surprised by the inexplicable feeling of trust she was feeling.

When a year ago she decided to forge a unique Lifebound Artifact to save her dying little brother despite having forged one for herself months prior, she had already accepted the outcome–death. And even though she failed and a month later lost her brother, she didnʼt regret it because she had tried her best, fulfilled her duty as his big sister.

After that, she just quickly wanted death to take her so she could be reunited with her brother. Unfortunately, her mother returned from a months long mission before she could pass away. Like every loving mother would be when they find their son had died and their daughter was also going to die, Riva was broken-hearted.

Despite knowing the chances were very slim, Riva did her best to prolong her daughterʼs life–she gave her top quality grade four and five Vitality pills, found rare spirit fruits, used her vital energy without caring about her lifespan–hoping that she would be able to find a way to save her.

This was why, when she heard Mike had found someone who could possibly heal those who had suffered the backlash, she immediately consented to bring him to the family. When she realized the other families were going to try to capture him, she immediately went to her mother (The woman Grand Elder who made the deal with the Royal family and chased Imentet and Kart Martell away) and roused her from her secluded cultivation and pleaded with her mother to take action. If she hadnʼt done that, it wouldnʼt have been as easy to bring Max to the Fuller Family.

Because Sophie didnʼt want to hurt her motherʼs feelings any more than she had already had by risking her life, she let her do what she wanted and as a result suffered for a year in her current state.

However, she knew she wasnʼt the only one who was suffering, her mother was equally suffering. Therefore, after a year, she had thought it had been enough and wanted to tell her mother to give up.

But who knew before she could do that, she would suddenly find herself believing that she could truly be treated?

For her mother, and also because deep down she longed to live, she hoped to get better and live if she could. But she feared her feelings and everything she heard just now might just be a delusion.

Suddenly, the now familiar voice pulled her out of her thoughts, ”Hello, miss? Are you there?”

”So, it was not my delusion.” She murmured, feeling relieved.

Then she tried to focus on the blurry figure when her eyes widened…

…because instead of seeing a blurry figure like she always did, she saw a handsome young man sitting beside her, grinning at her.
