Chapter 623: Lluvia's Promise
After wrestling with Clarice for another hour, she finally was too tired to continue.
Thus, the black-haired beauty fell asleep beside her sister-in-law, forming a beautiful scene of two naked girls in the same bed.
I looked at the two of them and sighed. Seeing them sleeping together like that, naked and with my semen in their wombs, I could not help but feel proud.
Soon, however, I realized that I still needed to do something important.
With a sigh, I left the bed and put on my clothes again. Then, I left Nana's room and walked towards a room nearby.
I knocked on the door, but nobody replied. However, I knew that there was someone inside.
I could feel Lluvia's presence inside. Most likely, she did not want to see me now, so she feigned that she was not inside.
However, I needed to talk with her right now, so I was not stopped by that.
"I'm going in," I said and pushed the door open.
Lluvia looked at me in surprise before smiling wryly.
"Don't you know that it's impolite to enter in the room of a lady uninvited?"
I did not reply to her lame attempt at a joke. Instead, I looked straight into her eyes, and the traces of tear on them, before sighing.
"Why are you torturing yourself like this?"
"Is it not your fault?" Lluvia said with a bitter and slightly blaming tone of voice. "If you would have not seduced me back then, I would not be struggling with my guilt as I doing now."
True. I can't deny it.
However, I was not bothered by her words. I stopped being a good person a long time ago, and I'm clearer than anyone about it.
Back then, I wanted her, so I did what I did. I don't regret it.
At the very least, though, I'll try to make her as happy as possible.
Sighing softly, I walked inside the room and approached Lluvia.
However, Lluvia took a step back and looked at me warily.
"Stop."
"Lluvia?"
"Please don't come closer. I'm afraid that I won't be able to resist you if you come closer, and I want to stop feeling guilty."
"Come on, do you think that I think only about sex?"
"Don't you? I could hear Clarice and Nana moans from here."
I was speechless. Well, yeah, I forgot about that.
Smiling wryly, I stopped walking towards Lluvia and spoke from where I was standing.
"Don't worry, I did not come this time to have sex with you."
Lluvia looked at me suspiciously, but when she saw that I was being serious, she nodded, although she was still wary.
… Woman, do you think that I'm some kind of sex maniac?
I was amused and speechless by her reaction, but considering my track record, I think that it's normal.
Thus, I was straight to the thing that I wanted to ask her.
"Lluvia, I want to ask you. And I hope that your answer is as sincere as possible."
"… Do ask."
"What would you do if your husband and son do not exist?"
"… Huh?"
"No, let me rephrase the question. If your husband and son were not an impediment, would you come with me?"
Lluvia was stunned. But immediately after that, her face turned ashen white.
"You… You are not thinking about killing them, right!?"
"Of course not." I smiled wryly. "I would not do anything that pains you."
Actually, I did consider it, but I decided not to in the end.
I also considered asking Ysnay to change fate again, but I don't want to owe her anything else. Plus, there is an easier solution.
With a playful smile, I took a step forward.
Before Lluvia could react, I appeared in front of her. Then, I put a finger on her forehead.
"What are you–" Lluvia was startled and instinctively took one step back. But all of sudden, she felt a mysterious energy filling her entire body.
This mysterious energy made her feel hot, and at the same time, warm. She felt as though she was many years younger.
When the energy disappeared, Lluvia had a stunned expression.
"W-What did you do?"
"I gave you time," I told her. "I increase your cultivation to the fifteenth-layer of mana, extending your lifespan to one hundred and fifty years."
Lluvia was dumbfounded.
Fifteenth layer? She did not even know that such cultivation was possible.
According to her knowledge, the twelfth layer was the highest.
However, she could feel that my words were true. Plus, judging from the overwhelming power flowing through her body, perhaps the fifteenth layer truly did exist.
But–
"I-I don't understand. H-How is it possible? A-And why are you doing this?"
"I told you, I gave you time." I smiled at Lluvia. "With your current lifespan, you won't have trouble living one hundred and twenty years further. Your husband, on the other hand, will die in around forty years. As for your son, he should live around seventy years more at most. Seventy years is short for someone like me. I don't mind waiting for that much… Right, you should not worry about your age. With your current cultivation, you will remain youthful even after one hundred years."
Lluvia was dazed.
The things that I just told her were too much for her. She could not even understand some of them.
However, she soon understood my intention.
I was going to wait until she did not have to worry anymore about her husband and son.
Immediately, her expression turned complicated.
"… Thank you." She murmured.
I smiled.
"I will ask you again after your husband dies, Lluvia. If by then, you want to be with me for eternity, then I will accept you."
"Clark…" Lluvia's eyes were filled with tears. She then took a step forward hesitantly and looked straight into my eyes.
Biting her lips, she leaned on my chest and tiptoed, then, her lips met mine.
When she pulled away, Lluvia looked at me with an embarrassed expression.
"Thank you… But you don't need to wait that long… Just give me one year. I will sort out my relationship with my husband by then. As for my son… He is an adult. He will understand."
"Great." I smiled. Then, I kissed Lluvia's lips again.
But when I was about to hug her to throw her on the bed, she took one step back.
"Not today… I still need to think about some things."
"As you wish." I raised my hands in surrender.
With this, I guess I don't need to worry about my relationship with Lluvia, Clarice, and Nana anymore, huh.
Now, It's time to think about the war.
