Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Direct Treatment
Right at that exact second, one of the newly arrived doncellas—a particularly stunning, voluptuous girl named Sharon—stepped forward from the group. She had been staring at Ethan with an unmasked, burning intensity from the moment she entered the private quarters. Like every single female refiner and attendant within the local district, she had spent the last six months watching his legendary, towering figure from a distance. There wasn’t a single woman under his employment who didn’t desperately fantasize about experiencing a private treatment from the divine physician—and they certainly weren’t thinking about a medical checkup.
Sharon smoothly closed the distance, her full hips swaying beneath her silk robes as she looked up at him through her thick lashes, her voice dripping with a playful, highly seductive confidence.
"Master Ethan, your boundless generosity is truly mesmerizing," Sharon purred, leaning in slightly toward his frame. "But tell me... is there perhaps a premium reward system in place for those of us who perform our tasks with exceptional devotion?"
Ethan let out a low, gravelly chuckle, his dark amethyst eyes locking onto her expressive gaze. "You possess a very valid structural point. Forcing capable hands to labor without adequate motivation is thoroughly inhumane. How does a baseline salary of one thousand medium-grade spiritual stones per day sound to you? Is that sufficient to secure your focus?"
A collective gasp echoed through the room. It was an astronomical, life-changing fortune for a low-tier cultivator. The sheer numbers shook Sharon’s heart, but she aggressively gritted her teeth, refusing to let the wealth derail her primary objective. Moving half a step closer until her soft chest practically brushed against his crimson robes, she locked her eyes onto his lips.
"That is more wealth than I could ever dream of, Master," Sharon whispered, her breath hitching slightly. "But... what if the specific reward I desire from your hands is a private, intensive treatment?"
"Of course," Ethan replied smoothly, his tone entirely professional. "As my personal staff, I can review your pathways and check your meridian baseline at any given moment. I would never allow any of my people to suffer from an energetic bottleneck or physical ailment."
Ethan was unbothered by subtle hints, his dominant mind processing her words through a strictly pragmatic lens. Realizing that her master was entirely immune to standard indirects, Sharon aggressively swallowed her remaining hesitation. Summoning every single ounce of her raw, shameless courage, she looked him straight in the eye and declared loudly in front of everyone present:
"I think you are misunderstanding my meaning, Master Ethan... I don’t want a medical prescription. What I desperately want is your cock."
Ethan looked down at her flushed, brazen face, and a broad, deeply amused smile spread across his lips as his amethyst eyes thoroughly swept her voluptuous figure.
"That?" said Ethan, his deep voice dripping with an unbothered, dominant confidence that made the entire room shiver. "Well, well... it appears I have built an administrative reputation for being far too inaccessible. If you desperately wanted my cock, Sharon, you merely had to walk through my doors and demand it. Why in the hell would I ever reject a tasty, savory meal? Ladies, give me a brief moment. Wait right here."
Without a single moment of further hesitation, Ethan’s hand smoothly clamped around Sharon’s waist. He effortlessly scooped her up against his broad torso and carried her straight into a private lateral chamber, the heavy reinforced door slamming shut behind them with a definitive thud.
Outside, the rest of his household, the elite guards, and the remaining staff members were rapidly gathering in the central courtyard, entirely oblivious to the specific sequence executing inside. For the first five minutes, the only sound vibrating through the wooden walls was Sharon’s unhinged, deafening screams of bone-shattering pleasure. For the next ten minutes, her voice gave out; the quiet air was systematically filled only by the heavy, rhythmic sound of raw, brutal flesh slamming against flesh with terrifying velocity.
Exactly fifteen minutes later, the lateral door smoothly swung open. Ethan stepped back into the main quarters unbothered, calmly adjusting the high collar of his pristine crimson robes.
He glanced toward the waiting assistants, a casual, highly amused smirk playing on his lips.
"Girls," said Ethan, waving his hand toward the open door. "Go inside and assist your companion. I firmly calculate that she is currently not in a stable physical condition to walk out here on her own."
Meave, Mirah, Cardis, and Clare didn’t waste a single second, breaking into a frantic run straight into the side chamber. The moment they crossed the threshold, their eyes violently widened at the chaotic scene.
Sharon was draped across the silk sheets, her body bare, trembling with a lingering, intense static. Her lips were parted wide in a manic, permanent smile, her tongue hanging out of her mouth as thick trails of saliva slowly dripped down her chin. Her eyes were pinned wide open, glazed over as she stared blankly at the ceiling.
"Sharon! What the hell happened to you inside here?!" Meave gasped, frantically checking her pulse. "How did it go? Why are you looking like an lunatic?!"
Sharon’s physical vessel was paralyzed from the overwhelming volume of his life-essence, her vocal cords barely able to register a sound. Her fingers weakly twitched against the mattress, and she could only whisper in a slurred, breathless murmur.
"I... I touched the high heavens..." Sharon whispered, her voice dissolving into unhinged, incoherent babbling as she let out a dazed chuckle. "The sky... the silver blade... so deep... I touched the stars..."
