Novel Full Chapter 368 Routine and chaos (R-18)
Kevin, now fresh and in his underwear, mopped around the house while Maria sat in a corner, eyes closed, fully clothed, and cultivating. Earlier in the bathroom, she had coaxed him into another half-hour of sex, lucky that no one woke up during or after their session.
With the house now clean, Kevin had managed to erase most evidence of their taboo night. Everyone was still asleep, thanks to the sleeping pills he had used the night before. As he mopped, the smell of sex lingered in the big room, mixed with sweat and other bodily fluids. He didn’t bother trying to eliminate it completely; getting caught wouldn’t trouble him. If anything, it might lead to involving everyone in a family orgy.
Kevin knew it would be better if he made everyone comfortable first. With the house clean and Maria deep in cultivation, he went to wake up Riya, gently nudging her shoulder. One by one, he woke Emma and Lora. They all remained silent, not disturbing maria’s cultivation, and took turns freshening up in the single bathroom.
Having already cleaned up and taken a bath, Kevin busied himself preparing breakfast. He couldn’t help but notice Emma’s eyes on him. Before long, she approached under the pretense of helping. “Do you need my help? We didn’t do anything last night. Aren’t you in pain?” she asked, her concern evident.
Kevin smiled at her worried face and shook his head while making omelets. Although he wanted to, after the intense night they had, he wasn’t in the mood for more orgasms–at least not right now. “I’m fine,” he reassured her. “We can do it sometime later today.”
Emma nodded, looking a bit disappointed but didn’t say anything. She helped him serve the omelets he had made to Riya and Lora. “What are you going to do today? Can I come with you?” Riya asked Lora.
Since becoming a cultivator, Riya had spent most of her days at home, only going out to meet Natelie or to run errands for Maria. She was getting bored with the routine, especially since it had been a week without any dates with Natalie. With no other friends, she was eager for a change. Lora, still a freshman at university, seemed like her best option.
“Nothing much, just attending lectures and stuff,” Lora replied, glancing at her watch and typing something on her phone while eating.
Riya, eating her omelet, said, “I miss going out. We should do something fun.”
“Where and how? We don’t have any money. What fun things can we do without it?” Lora replied, looking uninterested.
Riya turned to Kevin with a smile. “I heard the store is doing great. Could you give me some allowance then?”
Kevin smiled and nodded. “Yeah, it’s doing well. And actually, I could use some help managing it. Why don’t you come and help me today if you’re that bored?”
Riya’s smile turned awkward as she processed Kevin’s suggestion. She was hoping for a carefree day, not a shift at the store.
“Help at the store? I was thinking more along the lines of, you know, window shopping or getting some ice cream,” she said, trying to keep the enthusiasm in her voice.
Kevin raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “So, you want money without earning it?”
“Well, I wouldn’t put it like that,” Riya mumbled, her smile fading. “More like… a small donation to the ‘Keep Riya Happy’ fund?”
Emma stayed silent, eating her omelet while Riya kept pestering Kevin for money without working at the store. Kevin finally sighed and agreed, sending her some units for the day. He also gave some to Lora, but not before saying, “But you two have to stop by the store in the evening, or there won’t be any more freebies.”
Both girls nodded excitedly, finishing their food and getting ready to go out. Kevin also got dressed, as it was time for him to head to the store. Yesterday, he had earned 3500 omnitokens, bringing the total to 30,540. Today, he aimed to do the same, hoping to meet the first store requirement by the end of the week.
Thinking about this, he left for the store, dropping Riya and Lora off in the city center as they requested. “Don’t forget to come to the store, okay?” Kevin reminded them as they got out of the car.
“Okay, bye,” Riya said, not looking back.
Lora just waved her hand in a casual goodbye, which annoyed Kevin a bit. With a sigh, he went on his way.
Kevin drove to the store, the morning sun casting long shadows on the quiet streets. The city’s early bustle was starting to pick up, with people heading to work or running errands. His mind was still partly on the night’s events and partly on the day’s goals at the store.
Soon, Kevin reached the store, which was still closed. To his surprise, a customer was already waiting in front of it. Usually, Amy or Sia would open the store, as Kevin typically arrived in the late morning or around noon. Today, however, he had come early, with most shops still closed.
Seeing a customer waiting made Kevin happy. At first, having one customer a week was considered lucky, but now someone was already waiting. He quickly went to open the door, apologizing to the customer for making her wait.
The customer was an elderly lady, and from the aura emanating from her, Kevin guessed she was a cultivator. Her intensity suggested she was at least as strong as Keyara in cultivation.
Not wanting to keep her waiting any longer, he welcomed her inside and asked, “So, what would you like to buy, ma’am?”
As his routine stared bit early then usual, Kevin couldn’t help but reflect on his dual existence. His life at the store was peaceful and predictable. Every day brought a sense of normalcy. It was a life that allowed him to experience a semblance of what ordinary humans did, grounding him in reality and giving him a break from the relentless intensity of cultivation and battles.
It balanced the thrill and danger of his other life, where every moment was a struggle for strength and survival. At the den, he faced challenges that pushed his limits, honing his skills and making him stronger.
