Chapter 72: Function

"So you’re finished. I just bought some lunch. You must be hungry, right?" Miya said.

She walked toward him as he nodded, placing the plastic bag on the table and opening it.

It contained several boxes of food, including chicken, duck, and fish.

"Which one do you want?" Miya asked.

"Actually, I want you," Enzo replied with a faint smile.

He felt excited because he was about to receive a reward from the System.

How could he not find the courage to tease Miya when his mind was filled with anticipation?

Miya froze for a moment before smiling charmingly.

"Looks like you’re getting naughtier," she said, gently pinching his cheek.

At that moment, Enzo grabbed her waist, pulled her down onto his lap, and hugged her.

"Here she is. Isn’t this what you wanted?" Enzo said, taking out the small, glowing piece of copper.

Miya, who had initially been looking only at his face, shifted her gaze toward the copper.

Her eyes seemed to light up for a moment.

Seeing how deeply interested she was, Enzo placed it in the palm of her hand.

DING!

(You have given your wife something beneficial to her cultivation. Value: 90, High. Your cultivation has simultaneously increased to Peak Level 4!)

[Name: Enzo Muller]

[Level: 4]

[Spiritual Energy: 5,999]

[Body Cultivation Level: 4]

[Body:

- Supreme Human Body]

[Soul:

- Supreme Human Soul]

[Technique:]

(Three Heaven Flame Technique: Tier 2)

- First Stage: (Golden Heaven Flame: 19.99%)

- Second Stage: (White Heaven Flame: 0%)

- Third Stage: (Dark Heaven Flame: 0%)

(Absolute Soul Chain Technique: Special)

(Special Void Body Technique: Tier 2)

- First Stage: (True Void Body: 19.99%)

The notification appeared immediately, and Enzo’s eyes nearly widened.

A cultivation increase.

To Peak Level 4. Naturally, this also raised his comprehension of his techniques to the limit of Level 4.

It was difficult for him to maintain his expression, but fortunately, Miya was completely focused on the copper.

"What exactly is this for? I can feel that it contains a life of its own," Enzo asked, deliberately shifting his own thoughts.

He could only hope that Miya wouldn’t inspect his body, or she would discover his sudden increase in cultivation.

"That’s right. It has a life of its own. Of course, it’s only a faint and insignificant form of life. But you know, copper is an excellent stabilizer," Miya replied.

Enzo wasn’t entirely sure what she meant.

"Do you know why those zombies fell apart after an hour?" Miya asked.

"Maybe because their power is unstable. They can’t control power that doesn’t belong to them," Enzo replied.

That was his guess, and he was fairly confident because it was a common theory in cultivation.

All Cultivators were advised to follow the orthodox path because forcing themselves into the next level and ultimately failing to control their power could result in death.

"Exactly. If those zombies had this copper, it could help stabilize their power and prevent them from falling apart," Miya replied.

"What? Really?" Enzo couldn’t have been more surprised.

"Normally, this is implanted into weapons that are too powerful for their imperfect materials to handle. Isabel does this with her copper."

"Then are you going to use it for a weapon too?" Enzo asked.

"This is something that can be attached and removed. It can be used for anything depending on the situation," Miya replied with a chuckle.

"Tonight, let’s attend the Governor’s Birthday Party in City X," she added.

"The governor’s birthday?" Enzo was quite surprised.

"Yes... The invitation arrived a week ago. This could be a livelier gathering than our wedding because people will be coming there to discuss business."

"Then I’ll go with you," Enzo said.

He was curious about gatherings like this among the elites.

It would include influential people from both the state and City Z.

Although his wedding to Miya had also been attended by many elites, everyone had been extremely careful to maintain proper etiquette.

That was the difference.

In the end, Miya had to create a ridiculous game to make the party lively.

Whoosh!

The copper disappeared from Miya’s hand.

Enzo felt that she had a special plan for it tonight.

Perhaps she intended to slap Oliver in the face.

He had gained a new understanding of Miya after this latest trip.

Miya seemed to enjoy making ordinary people realize that they could never compete with Cultivators.

Whether she simply wanted to open their eyes or make them despair, Enzo wasn’t sure.

Perhaps it was both.

Instead of taking the food, he kissed the woman’s lips.

This was a much better meal for him.

The woman immediately responded, pressing her lips against his. Even her tongue slipped out first and brushed against his lips.

However, Enzo wasn’t focused solely on the kiss.

This time, Miya was wearing a shirt, and he slipped his hand beneath it.

Because of their position, her shirt lifted slightly, and his hand immediately touched her abdomen.

That alone instantly changed the way he looked at her.

But Enzo wasn’t lacking in courage. His hand gently caressed her abdomen as it moved upward until it reached her breasts, covered by her bra.

Rather than touching them directly, his hand slipped beneath the bra.

Although it was tight, what lay beneath was soft and supple.

His hand easily slipped inside and held her.

It fit perfectly in his palm, far too soft as he gently squeezed it.

Miya’s cheeks immediately turned bright red, while her breathing became faster and warmer.

She could clearly feel a different sensation now that Enzo was touching her directly without another layer between them.

Each time Enzo squeezed her breast, she nearly gasped for breath.

"Honey, you’re so naughty," she said when their kiss finally broke.

"Isn’t it comfortable?" Enzo asked in response with a wide smile.

Miya didn’t answer the question, instead resting her face against his.

She was clearly comfortable and enjoying the moment.

And Enzo’s other hand touched her slender back directly, caressing it from top to bottom before trying to slip beneath her pants.

If he had already touched her breasts, why not her butt as well?

Miya’s pants might have been tight, but they were extremely elastic, easily giving way when Enzo tried to slip his hand inside.

A moment later, his hand landed on her buttocks, the skin incredibly soft and supple beneath his touch.

If he wanted to, it would have been easy to move his hand to the front, but that was beyond his courage.

Unless Miya became more daring herself.

Instead of slipping her hands beneath his clothes as well, the woman suddenly placed both hands on his face.

Mwah!

Her lips landed on his forehead.

She kissed him briefly before moving her lips to his left cheek.

"Honey," Enzo said unconsciously, feeling intoxicated by her affectionate kisses.

Hearing the word he had just spoken, Miya’s smile instantly took on a slightly different expression.

"Say it again," she said.

"Honey..." Enzo repeated obediently.

Unfortunately, simply saying the word didn’t seem to count as a gift in the System’s eyes, even though it made Miya extremely happy.

After hearing it again, Miya actually seemed to calm down.

"Tonight, I promise, I’ll completely be your woman," she said casually.

Enzo froze when he heard that.

In this context, the meaning was far too easy to understand.

At the same time, Miya pulled both of Enzo’s hands out from beneath her clothes and smiled faintly.

"You’ll have to eat lunch by yourself because there’s something I need to take care of," she said.

"Yeah..." Enzo nodded obediently.

Miya stood up soon after.

An instant later, her figure disappeared as if erased by the passing wind.

Phew!

Enzo sighed as he was left alone.

Stopping at a moment like that left him feeling extremely uncomfortable.

But there was also a special sense of satisfaction from being intimate with her, a woman who had once seemed completely untouchable in his eyes, even now after they had already been intimate several times.

The fried duck, filling the air with a savory aroma, became his choice for lunch.

He was simply even hungrier because he had failed to get what he truly wanted.

After eating heartily and becoming full, he decided to go outside, only to find Eva on the terrace, looking anxious as she stared at her phone.

She was barely aware of his arrival, and when she finally noticed him, she almost stumbled from surprise.

"Master!" She quickly greeted him while composing herself.

"It seems you’re really worried about your mother," Enzo said.

"Yes, I..." the woman replied incoherently.

"Well, get some rest and calm yourself down. Just wait for the next update," Enzo said before continuing on his way.

He went to the Spiritual Pool again.

With nothing else to do, he might as well cultivate, of course.

Peak Level 4.

He was only an inch away from Level 5, which represented a transformation in power that would make him much stronger.

However, only when he truly cultivated on his own did he realize how difficult it was to cross that threshold.

It was impossible to break through in a single day through normal methods, regardless of how high one’s talent was.

He stopped in the afternoon, immediately standing up and stretching his body.
