The time couldn’t be stopped. For next two weeks, Xue Ren kept doing his job as alchemist and member of Lewd Legion… However, there was another job added to his schedule. It was meeting other prodigies with Linnil.
Xue Ren also met another strong disciples and skillful alchemists. While doing this, he was always with Linnil as she was the one introducing them. At first, Xue Ren didn’t have any problems with that, in fact, he was grateful as this way he could naturally approach those people.
Without any suspicious feelings, Xue Ren easily could talk with them and check their bodies with dark violet stone. Even though last time dark violet stone hadn’t worked out as the man was still corrupted, Xue Ren truly hadn’t other idea as to how find them. In any case, he had to check them and everything was nice till Xue Ren noticed something…
“What a slut. She sold herself for some pills.”
“Yeah, I would never thought she is such a woman.”
“Look how close they are. I am sure this Endrun likes her body very much.”
“Indeed. Just look at those eyes of his! It’s as if he is eating her with eyes alone~~ Kya~~”
The last one was Kuzan who already got punished for saying this as Xue Ren nicely asked Superbia. Anyway, while everything went well for Xue Ren, for Linnil it was totally opposite. Many people began talking behind their backs as to how slutty Linnil is for selling herself for pills.
In the beginning, only Xue Ren knew that thanks to Kuzan in his invisible dragon…
Xue Ren’s name ‘Endrun’ already got popular and after his spectatle, everyone already believed he is going to become elder. With guidance of Master Alchemist Dionnes, those people knew that it wouldn’t take long time.
That’s why if she had his support, then she could get a lot of valuable pills from him such as one’s that raise the speed of absorption of energy from nature stones. Such pill isn’t easy one to create, but with his talent…
Of course, Xue Ren never thought about this pill at all. He has his divine ability and this very ability is the only thing that makes his energies stronger. That’s why, it’s hard for him to comprehend just how valuable such pill is.
For most people here, they need at least one week to fully absorb one nature stone. And that’s one simple, mid quality stone. If the grade goes up, then the benefits, but also time goes up as well. Thus, to become stronger, simple absorption isn’t enough. Still… this was medium world where most of people were held back by either lack of techniques or guidance…
All of this caused Xue Ren to think that his Heavenly Touch is indeed godly ability. But also dangerous! Nevertheless, Xue Ren decided that no matter how valuable his ability is, he will pass it to his women no matter what.
Anyway, coming back to the current situation. Xue Ren felt bad. Of course, it’s not his fault that literally everyone is calling Linnil a slut, but right now, even her friends dared to say this. Although those girls were quiet, both of them could hear them, thus, Xue Ren glanced at Linnil…
And as he thought, her eyes were filled with sorrow. The rumours already reached her eyes and now, even her friends said this. She kept moving forward while bitting her lips and clenching her clothes tightly. Big Sister Linnil lost her status as big sister in as of many as she barely kept herself from crying.
It all changed… in one day as she decided to help Xue Ren… she was doing it for her sect, for friends…
“It’s fine.”
Linnil said loudly as she noticed Xue Ren eyes. Seeing his worried look caused her to smile lightly as she felt like she isn’t alone.
“Once I hit low red rank, I will be able to leave this sect and join the factions in the capital…”
However, for Xue Ren, her smile was forced one. Linnil truly looked pitiful, thus, as they entered the road without any people, he bodly hugged her. Stroking her hair slowly while she laid on his chest, Xue Ren did his best to comfort her.
“You will definitely join the faction.”
As he spent with her several days already, Xue Ren knew that she is smart and hard working woman. It caused Xue Ren to think that every woman who trains the swordsmanship is training maniac like his Qiu Qiu!
There were also time when she had shown him her cute girly side, thus, Xue Ren knew that he can’t let her stay in this sect with her already destroyed reputation.. Anyway, he had question.
“Why red rank though?”
With her high blue rank, Linnil already could go for the test in the capital to join Seven Slashes Faction. Wasn’t Duan Qiu blue rank as well? However, her next words caused Xue Ren to think badly of Golden Leaf Sect.
“Elders told me I need at least low red rank if I want to leave the sect…”
Linnil told sadly about her potential. When she was low rank blue, she already had problems with raising her strength, thus, elders gave her red rank condition thinking that they sealed her in their sect…
While talking, Linnil tried to leave Xue Ren’s embrace, but Sex God held her tightly without letting her go! Thus, she could only keep laying on his chest…
“Although Cursus Royal Family had unitied whole continent, there are still friendly skirmishes between sects of the same grade. At the stake are resources and the amount isn’t laughing matter… That’s why, it’s understandable as to why they want to keep me here…”
Linnil definitely haven’t earned her title ‘Big Sister’ because of her age or looks. She had worked hard for resources, prestige and herself. Xue Ren was sure of this as he already had seen her hard working side.
“I won’t let you stay in this sect…”
“No… no need, Endrun. I don’t need your resources…”
Linnil thought that Xue Ren will give her his own resources for helping him with his mission. She politely declined as Golden Leaf Sect was still her home, thus, she naturally must protect her and her parents home…
But such attitude only made Xue Ren decision firmer. As he hugged her tighter, Xue Ren began whispering that she will definitely achieve her goals…
Such sight caused Kuzan to fall on his throne. He, who was watching everything from throne room got stupefied.
“He… he will eat?”
He asked himself with disbelief all over his face…
