Chapter 543 Golden pupils
‘So… does the system shop have anything that can help me learn how to control my aura sphere?’ Max asked after hearing how beneficial gaining control over the aura sphere was.
[There certainly is something, host.] The system said, [Since the host wants to learn as quickly as possible, the system would advise you to purchase these two.]
As the system spoke, a floating panel appeared in front of him. There were two items shown in it. First was the [Ryser’s tear] and the second was [Aura Sphere mastery (Entry level)].
[Ryser’s tear] just like last time, was priced at 10,000 SPs while the [Aura Sphere mastery (Entry level)]’s cost was 5000 SPs. Seeing this, he opened his status window to see his current ‘wealth’.
[Lust points: 15,000]
[Kill points: 120,000]
[Shop points: 250]
‘Mm? 15,000 Lust points?’ A surprised expression appeared on his face as he glanced at his LPs and then at Ella, who gave them to him, and asked the system, ‘How come I got so many from her?’
His surprise was understandable. After all, Ella was just an ordinary person. How could she give him 15,000 LPs in just one round of sex when even Amara only gave him 3000-5000 per session?
[Don’t be surprised, host. Even though she isn’t a mage, she isn’t ordinary. Huh?] The system said.
‘Explain clearly. What is not ordinary about her?’ Max asked, annoyed, when the system stopped speaking.
The system didn’t respond for a few seconds, making him frown. ‘What’s wrong?’ 𝑖𝘦.𝑐ℴ𝘮
[I’ve a piece of bad news, host. But let’s first explain why she isn’t ordinary.] The system said. When Max heard the words ‘bad news’, a solemn expression appeared on his face. Just as he was about to tell him what it was, the system continued.
[As you know, she has an inherited a bloodline curse which makes her unable to sense mana and thus, cultivate. It also produces negative yin energy and store inside her body because of which she always feels weak and if she hadn’t met you, she would’ve died before the age of 50.]
[So, host, you gained so many Lust points because she had a vast amount of negative yin in her body, which the system purified into pure yin.]
‘Okay. I understand. Now tell me what the bad news is?’ Max hurriedly said. He was worried because he knew since the system used the word ‘bad’, it meant things were serious.
[…for some reason, the host’s father has woken up.] “What?!” Max’s eyes widened, and he shouted out, causing Ella to flinch and stare at him in shock.
“S-Sir, Max. What happened?” She asked.
Ignoring her, he asked the system, “How can he wake up? Didn’t you put him in a comatose state?”
[…The system did and he shouldn’t wake up since it’s only been over two weeks. But he did…] Clearly, the system didn’t know how Ashton woke up so soon when he was supposed to ‘sleep’ for two more weeks.
Max clenched his fists and asked through gritted teeth, “Tell me, how much time he has now?” [10 days or maybe less… The system needs to be near him for a more accurate assessment.]
“10 days!” Max took a deep breath and relaxed his jaws and clenched fists while the resolution in his eyes become firmer.
He then mentally ordered, ‘Convert 47,500 Kill points into shop points and buy the [Aura Sphere mastery]. As for the rest of Kill points and lust points, add them to [Intelligence].’
[Good idea, host. But even though increasing [Intelligence] would boost your comprehension ability, this approach will take more time than if you used [Ryser’s tear]. The system said.
‘Do I have 15,000 Shop points?’ Max asked.
[Oh, you can just have sex with her again and you’ll have enough–]
‘Just do what I said.’ Max interrupted.
[Alright, host.]
[Ding! Purchase successful! Do you want to learn the [Aura Sphere mastery (Entry level)]’s knowledge? (Yes)/(No)]
Max clicked the (Yes) and learned the skill. [Intelligence: 200 -> 287]
[Lust points: 0]
[Kill points: 500] .𝒎
[Shop points: 0]
Immediately, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, and started to comprehend the knowledge he received.
Ella stared at him in confusion and thought, ‘What happened? Why did he suddenly become so anxious and… who he was talking to?’
…
Ninam City, Garfield mansion.
In Ashton’s room, Ashton was lying on the bed, his eyes closed and breathing faint. Amelia was sitting beside him on the bed, holding his hand and looking at his shriveled-up face.
There were tears in her eyes as she gently touched his face and muttered, “Don’t worry, husband. Max has promised he will save you. You just need to hang on. He will soon return.”
Among his three wives, Amelia was closest to Ashton. When she was a child, her family’s enemies had attacked her family and killed everyone in her family. She would’ve died too, but Ashton’s father, who was a friend of her father, had gotten the news and had arrived and saved her.
Since there was no one to take care of her, he brought her back to his family, where she grew up with Ashton. They quickly became friends and then fell in love. When Ashton became a two-star mage, they got married.
Even after Ashton married Esther and others, their strong bond remained intact. She gently wiped her tears and murmured, “…But It’s been two weeks. Why aren’t you waking up? If you woke up, maybe you’ll get better sooner.”
Max hadn’t told them… or, to be more accurate, he forgot to tell them he had put Ashton in ‘sleep mode’ for a month. So, Amelia was worried because in these two weeks, he didn’t move at all, nor did his breathing pattern changed even for a bit.
Just then, Ashton’s eyelashes fluttered imperceptibly, but Amelia, who was looking at him closely, noticed.
‘I-Is he going to wake up?’ She thought, her heartbeat rate increasing.
Under her hopeful gaze, Ashton’s eyelashes quivered again, and a faint golden energy seeped out of him, covering his body for a few seconds before vanishing.
When the golden energy vanished, Amelia could see Ashton’s condition had improved slightly and his breathing was no longer faint like before, but had grown slightly stronger.
Then, slowly, he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of golden pupils instead of his normal brown.
