A short while later, Max re-entered the guest room with a spatial ring containing five thousand mid grade mana stones. Honestly, he hadn’t expected Miss Akilah would give him so many mana stones in advance.
‘Not only is she beautiful, her heart is also quite big!’ He sighed with emotion. Such a good woman, he really wanted her to be his, but didn’t know how he should go about it.
Sighing again, he stopped thinking about it and resumed his cultivation. He only needed a little less than fourteen thousand units of three-star mana to reach the realm limit of three-star, and these many mana stones should be more than enough to achieve that.
…
The effect of mana restricting poison had already disappeared, so Lily was calmly cultivating in her room. If someone saw her cultivate, they would be enchanted by the scene. The several thousand mana stones were floating in the air around, and thin lines of mana were continuously flowing out of them and entering Lily, who was covered in a layer of ice mist, and looked nothing short of an ice fairy.
Suddenly, she heard a knock on her room’s door. Her brows furrowed in displeasure and she slowly opened her eyes. The icy mist receded into her body and half absorbed mana stones fell down, which she stored in her spatial ring with a wave of her hand.
The spatial ring and mana stones she was using were a gift from the Crown Prince Eric. Though she was reluctant to receive so much help from a man other than her young master, she needed to cultivate, so she had no choice but to accept his gift. Besides, she could tell he had no intentions towards her, and just wanted to befriend her.
She, of course, knew why? Although he had not mentioned this, she knew he had recognised her as a disciple of the Ice Sovereign Mountain from her robes, and this was the reason he was being so good to her.
Since the demon race was being so aggressive this time, he wasn’t sure if the Green Leaf kingdom would survive the war. If it did not, the Royal family needed to retreat to a safe place.
Though the Royal family should have some connection with some powers in the central plains, they were nothing in front of the Ice Sovereign Mountain. If he managed to befriend her, she could become the link between the Royal family and the Ice Sovereign Mountain, ensuring their survival.
When she realized this, Lily wasn’t displeased that he was trying to use her, instead, she was relieved. Since this was the case, she wouldn’t feel guilty using the Royal Family’s strength to drive Oliver away, even though she felt the Royal family wasn’t powerful enough to do so. It could at least provide her some level of protection.
If she managed to survive, and bring the Garfield family to the central plains, she wouldn’t mind helping the Royal family out a bit to repay the Crown Prince’s help.
She stood up, and opened the door to see a maid standing there, who bowed towards her and said, “Miss Lily, Crown Prince Eric is waiting for you in the main hall. If you don’t mind, please come with me.”
“Alright, lead the way.” Lily nodded, and followed her to the main hall where she found Eric casually drinking tea.
When he noticed them, he smiled as he stood up, “I hope I haven’t disturbed you, Miss Lily. If I did, please forgive me.”
“It’s alright. You don’t need to apologize, Prince Eric.” Lily calmly said, and then asked, “But I wonder, why did you want to meet me?”
The maid, who was retreating, couldn’t help but feel shocked to see the Crown Prince being so humble to Lily, and couldn’t help but wonder who she was.
Eric smiled, “Yes. There is news spreading in the Royal capital that an auction house is going to auction two Super Realmbreaker Elemental Magic Spells. I was wondering if you also want to join in the fun.”
“Super Realmbreaker Spells?” Lily frowned. She had heard of Realmbreaker magic spells. In fact, she even had one, but she had never heard of Super Realmbreaker spells.
Prince Eric chuckled, “Oh! You may not know what a Super Realmbreaker spell is since this name was given by the people of our capital just today, and after hearing how powerful the spells are, I have to admit they deserve this name.”
“Oh?” Lily raised her brows.
“Yeah. Unlike ordinary Realmbreaker spells, the Super Realmbreaker spells can give the users power of not one, but two or more realms above their respective realms. The Spells in question are exactly that, they can allow a three-star mage to fight a king rank mage given the condition of spells’ activation at king realm be met.” Prince Eric explained.
Lily couldn’t help but be shocked upon hearing this. A three-star mage fighting a king rank mage? It was… impossible to imagine.
Prince Eric smiled. He also had the same expression when he heard the news.
“So, would you like to join the auction and take a look?” He asked.
Lily thought for a moment and then asked, “Which element do they belong to?”
Prince Eric shook his head, “It wasn’t revealed. So, I don’t know.”
“You are The Crown Prince, how can you not find out something within your kingdom?” Lily asked.
Prince Eric’s lips twitched, and he helplessly said. “Miss Lily, even though my family rules this kingdom, everything is not under our control.”
“I understand.” Lily nodded and after thinking for a moment, she said, “Alright. I’ll go with you to take a look.”
“Good. We’ll leave in two hours. You can rest or cultivate until then.” Eric said before leaving the villa.
“Super Realmbreaker Spells, huh? I’m sure Oliver will also go there if he is here.” She muttered, and fell into deep thought.
…
For the first time, Max was so immersed in cultivation that he had no awareness of time. It was only after he heard someone bang his door that he awoke from his cultivation and realized he had used up almost a thousand mana stones.
Taking a look at his mana core, he realized he now was only ten thousand units away from the realm limit.
“A thousand mid grade mana stones can only increase my mana by a little less than four thousand units. Then, just how many would I need to raise it to four-star level? 25,000? 50,000? 100,000?” He rubbed his temple in frustration.
“I can only place my hope on those two spells.” Sighing, he stood up, patted his bottom and walked out of the room.
Outside, the attendant had an anxious look on her face and was about to knock again when the door opened. Seeing this, she couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
She then said, “Sir, the auction is about to start, please follow me.”
“Alright.” Max nodded, and followed her to a private cabin on the top floor.
“This is your private cabin, sir. There are top grade concealment and isolation formations to ensure your privacy. Of course, they won’t stop you from watching the proceedings. Also, if there is some item you want to bid on, you can tap here and announce your bid. Worry not, the formations will change your voice so no one will recognise you.” She explained everything. “Also, I’ll be just outside if you need me for anything, just tap here, I’ll be with you shortly.”
Max looked around. Although the cabin wasn’t too big, it was well decorated, cozy and most important of them all, gave him privacy. Of course, he also liked the fact that this beautiful attendant was offering herself on a platter.
Just when he was about to say something, many luminous stones lit up the stage and normal sitting area below. The auction was starting.
An alluring female appeared on the stage and introduced herself, “Hello, ladies and gentlemen! If you’ve attended our previous auctions, I’m sure you are already familiar with me, but for those who are here for the first time, let me introduce myself…”
Max stopped paying attention, since it would be some time before his spells appeared. After taking his seat, he glanced at the attendant who still hadn’t gone out of the room, and beckoned her over with his finger.
The attendant came in front of him, and asked with her head lowered, “You need something, sir?”
Max didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, “You are willing to serve me?”
The attendant blushed, and shyly nodded, “Yes, sir.”
“Why?” He asked. The attendant stiffened up upon hearing this, and started thinking what she should say, but Max didn’t give her time and said, “Alright. I can guess why you want to do it. Although I can’t promise you anything, I’ll praise you in front of your manager. It’s up to her if she promotes you or not. Also, if you are able to satisfy me, I can even give you some cultivation resources, so you wouldn’t need to worry for a few years at the very least.”
Saying this, he paused to let his words sink in before adding, “If you don’t like this arrangement, you can head out. If you do, get on your knees and start working.”
The attendant hadn’t expected him to be so direct and cold. Her positive impression of him diminished quite a bit. But she wasn’t willing to do it because she liked him, but because she wanted to use him to become someone important.
From what she heard about her manager, if an important customer like Max praised her, the manager would most likely give her a raise and might even promote her. Even if she wasn’t promoted, as long as she satisfied him, she could get some cultivation resources from him, which was already good enough. So, it was a win-win situation.
As for things like her dignity and other bullshit, she didn’t care about that at all. After all, they wouldn’t fill her stomach and give her resources to become stronger.
Thinking this, she took a deep breath, and got down on her knees before loosening his robe’s belt. She then fumbled a bit before finding his sleeping dragon.
Gently grabbing it with her soft hands, she took it out and started stroking it. Within a few seconds, the cute little dragon turned hard and hot and became a raging beast.
“It’s huge!” She gasped upon seeing this.
Max, who was acting indifferent to all this, couldn’t help but smirk in satisfaction.
The attendant gulped, and thought if she made the right decision. Wouldn’t this huge thing tear her into two?
But she couldn’t back down now. So, she gathered her courage, grabbed the base with one hand and slowly brought her mouth closer to it before placing a small kiss on the bulging knob.
Feeling her hesitation and fear, Max looked down and asked, “You… don’t tell me it’s your first time doing this?”
