Chapter 278: Chapter 279 - Umh
Within the Wei Family residence, the gentle morning breeze enveloped the main peak in a comforting warmth as it passed through the window of a room, finally resting on a cocoon blanket. Prior to that, it had brushed against a face that was addressing me.
"Umh....," Esme's eyes blinked gently as she gradually lifted her eyelids, exposing the golden hue within them, which caught the reflections of the wooden walls surrounding her.
"Are you awake?" Suddenly, a manly voice, accompanied by warm breath, reached her face, tingling her eyes as her pupils, without moving her face, tilted to glance towards the man who had greeted her in the early morning.
"Nmh... good night," With those words, Esme pulled her blanket up to cover her face, feeling embarrassed while recalling her actions from last night.
'!'
Suddenly, she realized that something was entwined in the blanket, and to her surprise, she found that Ryuk had raised her up with his hand.
"Where are you taking me?" Covering herself inside the blanket, she didn't feel surprised or overly dramatic because she trusted that she would not fall from his grip, causing her to only inquire about where he was taking her.
"I wanted to bathe." With a composed tone, Ryuk made his way toward the bathroom that was situated in the room.
"....then why take me?" Esme cautiously emerged from beneath the blanket, parting it with her hand as she stole a glance at him, her suspicions swirling about his intentions.
"I need to check our compatibility and check the body's synchronization," Ryuk informed her as he opened the door, knowing that the things he was telling her might not be entirely convincing.
'....' As expected, Esme kept looking at him blankly as he took her inside the bathroom.
"Can we test it after four months?" Esme asked, seeing how he was moving towards a large bathtub, which appeared to be made from wood but was filled with warm water. As he moved, she noticed he was wearing all his clothes, assuring her since, if that was the case, then maybe he was truly trying to check compatibility or whatever he said.
'System, what information do you need?' Ryuk arrived, standing near the bathtub, and, ignoring Esme's words, inquired to the system, which had informed him in the morning about the data it required in hopes of finding a better version of dual cultivation derived from the Neolith Harem's system.
After providing that information, the system also added that the user of that system was nearby and would soon participate in the trial as well.
To avoid acting hastily, Ryuk decided to meet Lin Feng himself in six days and kill him, since it appeared the Neolith system wasn't as strong as the one Ryuk possessed.
[ Ahem, Host, I just felt a hiccup. Did you curse me? O_o ]
'Show me what you need,' Ryuk, ignoring the system's chatter, he concentrated on his goal, as he needed to meet with some elders to learn about internal energy.
From the memories of his past world, he somewhat understood how one first creates a Dantian and then fills it with internal energy or spiritual energy, but he wasn't aware of the process or exactly what a Dantian was. This was why he wanted to visit some Elders.
[ Here it is ]

[ Host, to enhance measurement accuracy, it's essential to gather data three or four times, ensuring varied results each time to eliminate value errors. Additionally, aim to achieve the most optimal values possible through stimulation. ]
'Why is this information necessary for dual cultivation?' Ryuk inquired, as the amount of information it needed was slightly excessive, considering that dual cultivation is simply the process of getting intimate. Given how the system was using too many adult terms lately, Ryuk doubted that it was setting him up.
[ Host, dual cultivation is not just about engaging in the act; it's to maximize the output from that process. This data will provide me with details to calibrate the add-ons borrowed from the Neolith Harem system to achieve the most benefit. ]
'Fine,' Ryuk, trusting the system somewhat but remaining cautious, without putting Esme down, lifted his legs and entered the bathtub.
As his feet touched the water, the boots he wore instantly vanished into his inventory. Transitioning from his lower black fabric clothing, everything from the pants to the robe vanished in an instant. As he stood in the bathtub with the water reaching his thighs, he began to sit while carrying her in a princess carry.
"W-wait...?! Stop, we will get—GULP," Esme responded, feeling the splattering sound of the water as he entered, before removing her blanket to playfully hit Ryuk. But the sight that greeted her was his face without a mask and his body without clothing, causing her to gulp hard as her mind went blank.
"Do you want me to stop?" Ryuk, with a slight tilt of his head, asked Esme, his deep gaze unwavering and his voice steady.
"....N-no, do whatever you want," With her eyes cast aside, Esme consoled herself that she bore no responsibility for today's events, given that she had done everything possible to dissuade him, but he was set on moving ahead.
Unlike yesterday, when it was her fault for pouncing on him first, prompting her to withdraw and cover herself, today it was him who took the initiative. So, being a weak, innocent, naive woman, she felt she couldn't do anything but surrender to this man. 'Yes, it's not my fault.'
Esme gave a slight nod before extending her hand from beneath the blanket, her fingers slipping behind his head as she grasped his hair, drawing herself nearer to him. Her lips, plump and tender from a night spent biting the blanket in her efforts to contain her desires, were now poised for his touch. "Your fault...."
'Come on, kiss me,' With those musings in mind, she sealed her lips, making them look as if they were entwined, as she pulled him closer, only to notice him open his mouth to grant her access.
Under the impression that he had agreed, she shaped her lips for a kiss, shut her eyes, and drew nearer to him.
"What are you doing, Esme?" Ryuk knitted his brow, taking in the sight of her pulling his head closer. Her playful antics amused him, and her lips, reminiscent of a fish, brought him even more amusement, but he aimed to challenge her with a stern voice.
