Chapter 186: Chapter 121: Strategy Guide "Life Energy." "Perhaps it’s time to take down Ye Zi." David pondered, feeling he might be able to use Life Energy to continue enhancing his Knight’s Power. Lately, his relationship with Ye Zi had made significant progress. Thinking of Ye Zi’s elf-like demeanor, David felt a bit heated. Moreover, his Wizard strength still had considerable room for growth. Currently, his Spiritual Power remained at Early Stage Tier Five. The Wizard’s strength only covered the Ice and Earth factions. His heart stirred, summoning the system panel. Several talents were already on the brink of breakthrough, which could be the focus of his cultivation next. ... Nightfall. David continued cultivating with his wives. As he fully entered Tier Six, his Physical Strength improved once again. Although Reina had successfully broken through to Tier Four, the main advancement was in Spiritual Power. Therefore, even with the six of them together, they were still no match for him, only barely satisfactory. "Cynthia, work hard," David encouraged with a smile. Among his six wives, Cynthia had the greatest potential now. Although she had just elevated her bloodline to Tier Four not long ago, she could still continue improving. If she could rise to Tier Five, her power would greatly increase after Beastification, with Full Beastification reaching Tier Five! "Okay, alright." Cynthia nodded earnestly. Seeing this, David reached out to lift Cynthia. After finishing cultivation with Cynthia, his gaze fell on Annie, who was peeking her head from under the covers on the bed, and he suddenly pulled the blanket away. Annie had recently successfully activated the Arctic Giant Bear Bloodline. This surprised Annie for a long time; she hadn’t expected to activate her bloodline. Yet, even with her bloodline activated, Annie’s sensitive constitution hadn’t diminished; instead, the bloodline’s strengthening of her body made the duration even longer. "Annie, shall we try something new?" David anticipated. He and Annie had only ever had two positions. Now that Annie had activated the Knight Bloodline, he felt this was an opportunity. "It’s already the third time," Annie quickly spoke. "Once more, you can definitely do it." David encouraged while bending Annie down. With a helpless expression on her face, Annie gazed at the ground. Finally, a warm sensation emerged. She sighed in relief, keeping her attention on this warm current to distract herself. Soon after, she felt this warm current merging into the position of her heart. And this was where the Arctic Giant Bear Bloodline lay, merging into it. This made Annie realize Lord Duke possessed special powers that could activate one’s bloodline and strengthen it during interaction. Previously, she thought Lord Duke’s words, "Madam, please assist my cultivation," were just sweet talk, not thinking much of it. Now it seemed Lord Duke truly had such a talent ability, able to continuously strengthen himself through this method and also help them grow! This prompted her to better cooperate with Lord Duke, hoping to assist in his cultivation as much as possible. ... Morning. Ye Zi opened her eyes, an unfamiliar ceiling coming into view. Emerald vines wrapped around the wooden beams, with gray bricks adorned with lush moss and ferns. An exquisite circular chandelier hung in the center. Although it wasn’t lit, the moss and small potted plants around it were its natural candlelight. As her thoughts gradually cleared. Ye Zi realized she was now in the Wizard Castle; this room had become her sanctuary. She took a deep breath, the fresh air bringing her peace. The warmth seemed to embrace her, granting unprecedented comfort. Ye Zi turned her head towards the window, the world outside shrouded in a pale sky, even a bit glaring. In past days, she wandered here and there. Nights were always brief and uneasy. Any minor sound was enough to wake her from sleep, always on guard against the Church’s pursuit. Ye Zi sat up, brushing her fingers across the sheets’ texture, feeling an unusual sense of tranquility. She knew this was the safety and belonging she had long searched for. The sky outside the window began to tint with a faint blue, suggesting a new day was about to start. Ye Zi stood up, walked over to the window. Watching the distant mountains awaken gradually in the morning light, she inhaled the fresh air deeply. Another new day. Next, she must try harder to tend to the Magic Plants in the herb garden. Then, prepare more potions for Lord Duke and her companions to enhance everyone’s strength. Thinking of Lord Duke, her cheeks suddenly reddened. Since the last intimate contact, her relationship with Lord Duke had become somewhat peculiar. Holding hands, hugging, and kissing. These were things only lovers did, yet it seemed she and Lord Duke had done all of them. So, does she and Lord Duke count as lovers now? Besides, the wives’ attitude towards her was as if facing sisters. She pondered aimlessly, wearing a simple light green dress, clipping a leaf-shaped clip into her green hair. After seriously inspecting herself, she finally opened the door to go outside. In the dining room. Lord Duke seemed to have already finished eating and left.
