Chapter 425 Second extraction
"I-It's because he saved my life..." Amara wanted to reiterate the same excuse, but Ashroth cut her sentence short. With a disappointed expression on his face, he said.
"You are still lying to me. I know your relationship with him. If you don't tell me the truth, I'll kill him right now."
Amara's mind raced.
After a moment, she took a deep breath, put on a serious expression on her face and said, "Big brother. I didn't want you to worry. That's why I didn't tell you the truth."
"The truth is, after my bloodline awakening, I was about to die. The wisp of remnant consciousness of that senior told me that if I want to live, I had to calm the chaotic energies in body and to do that, I urgently needed a male's yang energy. However, there was no male apart from that human, so I had no choice but to..."
Hearing this, Ashroth's expression became less stern. Then he said, "But this still doesn't explain the need of him being with you."
Amara lowered her head, and said in a soft voice, "The thing is, when I used his yang energy to calm my chaotic energy, I did that using the formation created by the system. This, however, had a side effect. I have to take some of his yang energy every once in a while. If not, my bloodline would erupt and I would die."
When Ashroth heard this, his brows knitted together. Although he hadn't heard of such a thing, it didn't mean it wasn't possible.
After a while, he worriedly asked, "Isn't there a cure for it?"
Seeing his expression, Amara felt guilty. A moment later, she said, "According to that senior, I'll be fine once I break through to the mortal boundary and become a five-star mage."
"That's good." Ashroth sighed in relief upon hearing that it wasn't permanent.
He then said, "Keep that human in your villa. Don't let him wander out in case he gets himself killed. We can't afford him dying before you reach the five-star realm. Also, don't worry about anything else and focus on your cultivation."
"Yes, big brother." Amara obediently nodded before asking, "Big brother, you... you aren't angry with me anymore, right?"
Hearing this, Ashroth wore an apologetic expression. Gently caressing her head, he shook his head. "No, I'm not."
Upon hearing this, Amara revealed a cheerful smile, but deep down, she was saddened because she had to lie to him.
"Okay. I'll go now." Saying this, Ashroth walked out. While walking, he remembered something and took out Max's spatial ring and threw it toward Amara. "Give it back to him."
"Hm. Okay." Amara nodded and watched him disappear from the sight.
She then returned to her room, her expression downcast.
...
When Amara walked into the room instead of Ashroth, Max sighed in relief.
After Ashroth confiscated his spatial ring, which had his communication crystal, he didn't have any way of informing her what she was supposed to say to her big brother so he wouldn't kill him.
Therefore, he had been worried that she might tell him a different story, which would prove that he was lying.
If that happened, he didn't have any doubt that Ashroth would have kill him. But fortunately, Amara seemed to have said something which proved his excuse to be true.
After calming down his tense nerves, he noticed Amara's expression and asked, "Why do you still have such an expression? Aren't we safe now?"
Ha!
Amara sighed. After closing the door, she nodded, "We are safe, but I don't feel good after lying to my big brother."
Her answer rendered Max speechless. In his mind, he thanked his lucky star that the slave seal was working properly. If not, she might have told Ashroth the truth and he would have died.
Smiling wryly, he patted on the bed beside him. "Don't worry about it too much and come here."
Amara nodded and walked to the bed before gently sitting beside him.
Max didn't rush to take her clothes off, but did some small talk with her.
He asked whether she got the news she went to find. To this, Amara nodded and told him everything Beille told her.
"So, the king ranked demons will command the lower ranked demons in the first wave of attack?" Max asked.
"Yes." Amara nodded, "If this time's invasion was also like the previous times, only the warriors in the three-star and four-star realm would have taken part. In the second wave, five-star warriors and finally the king ranked warriors in the third wave. However, this time, everyone at and under the king-realm are going to participate."
Hearing this, Max's expression turned solemn.
Noticing his expression, Amara stopped talking. From their previous conversations, she understood Max's family and friends lived where the battle was going to take place and he was worried about their safety.
Phew!
Max closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down.
He then grabbed her hand and pulled Amara into his embrace before overlapping her succulent lips with hers.
Thus, started the second round of the day.
...
Huff! Huff! Huff!
still panting for breath and her face had lost all color after the second pure yin extraction.
After an hour later, both of them were lying side by side, their naked bodies glistening with sweat.
After regulating his breathing, Max opened the system notification window and nodded in satisfaction. He gained 250,000 LPs just like last time and, same as last time; they vanished from his status window in an instant.
Closing the system window, he turned to look at Amara. She was still panting for breath and her face had lost all color after the second pure yin extraction.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
Amara took a few more deep breaths before shaking her head lightly. "No. My head is ringing and my body feels very weak. I can't even properly circulate my demon energy. This is awful."
Hearing this, Max felt pity for her. If he wasn't in a rush, he wouldn't have extracted her pure yin two times in a row.
Sighing, he said, "Rest for a while and then use the blood gem to recover your energy."
