Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 809: To The Central Plains

The next day, in the early morning, Max was sitting cross-legged on the ground in a room where Esme was sleeping soundly, wrapped in sheets, a rosy hue on her enchanting face.

After a while, she slowly stirred awake and looked at Max with a bright look on her face while her face blushed red in embarrassment as she recalled what happened all day and night yesterday.

Phew!

As if sensing her gaze, Max exhaled deeply and slowly opened his eyes. When their gazes met, he gave her a charming smile that made Esmeʼs heart skip a beat and made her feel hot all over.

Immediately, she got flustered and averted her eyes. She was afraid if she continued looking at him, she wouldnʼt be able to control herself again and might end up in his arms again.

ʼAlthough the thought is tempting, my body is too sore after all that.ʼ She thought, a displeased look appearing on her face.

Maxʼs lips curled when he sensed her emotions. And as he stood up and walked over to the bed, he teasingly asked, ”What are you displeased about, my temptress?”

”Mou!” Esme pouted and looked at him with an aggrieved look in her eyes. ”My Lord, you promised you wonʼt sense my emotions without my permission unless it is extremely necessary.”

”Oh, my bad, my lady. I… forgot about it.” Max chuckled before leaning his face down and placing a gentle kiss on her lips, which he did not seem to get enough of.

Esme closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss, completely forgetting her displeasure.

After he broke the kiss, she sat up, holding the white bedsheet to her chest to cover her naked body as she leaned her head on his shoulder and asked, ”Are we leaving today?”

”Yeah.” Max nodded, moving his fingers through her silky blue hair before asking in a teasing tone, ”Why? You donʼt want to?”

Esme gave him a look that made him chuckle sheepishly.

”I just feel… conflicted. My family members are imprisoned there. I would be there, but I wouldnʼt be able to do anything.” She muttered, a complicated expression on her face.

Max was silent for a few moments before he said, ”I know itʼs hard for you, but wait for some time more. When we have enough strength, not only will we save your people, we will also destroy the Thunder family to avenge all those people who they slaughtered in cold blood.”

”Mm,” Esme hummed in response. She believed him but didnʼt know if she could bear to wait for long.

After all, Max was a Four Star mage and would take quite some time to reach the emperor realm, not to mention the necessary monarch realm.

She, of course, knew he could boost his cultivation level quickly by using Nascent Energy, but there was no use in doing that because not only would his foundation be shaky, his battle prowess also would be lower.

If she knew using the Nascent Energy to increase his cultivation wouldnʼt compromise his foundation and battle power, she wouldnʼt be thinking like this. Unfortunately, she didnʼt know it yet.

After a short while, she gathered her thoughts and got out of bed. ”Iʼll go take a bath.”

Saying this, she slowly dropped the bedsheet covering her body, revealing her perfect body to him, and walked toward the bathroom.

Max wanted to rest for a while because he hadnʼt been able to do it since yesterday.

He worked hard on her all day and through the night.

When they stopped just a few hours ago, he immediately sat down to cultivate, wanting to use half the Nascent Energy he managed to take from her after helping her heal completely—save for her dantian, which was still untouched—to push his cultivation toward the Five Star.

ʼThis vixen… She would drain me completely.ʼ He thought, licking his lips before jumping off the bed and rushing after her.

A few moments later, a symphony of moans echoed out from the bathroom, permeating the room.

If not for the isolation formation he laid down after his negligence when they began yesterday, everyone in the house would have realized what they were up to, and it certainly would have bothered them.

…

An hour later, they emerged from the room.

Esme was walking slightly funny, but she had a healthy glow on her cheeks and a blissful smile on her face, which froze when they stepped into the living room, where everyone looked at her with awkward and not so friendly expressions.

She gave Max a resentful look. If not for how he took her in the room, she wouldnʼt be facing this now.

Max rubbed the tip of his nose awkwardly. He had managed to hide the fact that he had made a tiny mistake yesterday; otherwise, he knew she wouldnʼt be giving him just a look.

A weird silence befell the living room.

Unable to withstand it, he coughed and asked, ”Is everyone ready to leave?”

”Hmph! We have been ready since yesterday. If not for some hateful pervert… Hmph!” Gene hurrumped coldly, her eyes flickering with rage.

She was initially clueless, but after hearing her grannyʼs shameful moans, how could she not realize what they were doing?

And the realization, without a doubt, made her furious.

How dare he take advantage of her grannyʼs vulnerability?

She wanted to barge into the room and beat him up, but Ella and Esther stopped her, saying her granny would be too ashamed if she did that and that she should talk to him when they came out.

When she saw him just now, she wanted to attack him directly but then saw her granny looked happy, which confused her.

Shouldnʼt she be gloomy and angry?

Esme blushed in embarrassment and lowered her head, not able to meet her gaze.

Just then, Esther spoke and dispelled all the awkwardness.

”What about Emily? Isnʼt she coming?” She asked,

Max had told them Emily was safe so they wouldnʼt worry about her.

He shook his head. ”Emily is with Lily and Sera. They said they will go to the central plains a few days later with Wyomin and Lilyʼs master, Rose, who are emperors.”

Esther nodded before asking, ”Then shouldnʼt we wait for a few days? If we go with them, we wonʼt encounter any danger on the way.”

”No,” Max shook his head, ”We donʼt know how those elven emperors would react when they realize Ryan had sent you all away. If they were to force Ryan to tell him where he sent you and come here, weʼll all die.”

”Second, the demons can return any time now, and the moment they do, things will become a lot more dangerous here. So, we have to leave now. Also, because the empires and the wild areas through which we will travel were also in sacrificial formationʼs range. So, we wonʼt encounter any danger right now.”

”I understand.” Esther nodded in understanding.

A short while later, they left the house and began their journey toward the Central Plains.

Gene was walking beside Esme, but she was uncharacteristically silent, which made Esme sigh. She knew Gene had misunderstood her relationship with Max, but she was too embarrassed to talk to her about it and clear up the misunderstanding.
