Strongest Mage with the Lust system - Chapter 852

Chapter 852: Attraction Of A Peak Emperor Power
“My Lord, she sold the protection magic artifact her master had gifted her.” Ellie answered. When she noticed Max’s expression, she felt guilty because Rima had told her not to tell him because he wouldn’t like it.

‘I’m stupid. Why did I have to say it?’ She felt like pulling her hair out. She was enjoying talking to him so much that before she knew it, she had revealed the only thing she was supposed to keep secret.

‘Elder sister Rima would never like me now.’ At this thought, she paled.

Though she and Max had yet to make their relationship official, it was only a matter of time. So, as his woman, she was supposed to maintain a good relationship with his other women, especially because she was new while they were his older lover.

Just as Max was feeling useless for forcing Rima to sell her magic artifact and Ellie was dreading her future, the door of the room was pushed open and the person in question walked in.

Ellie stiffened and lowered her head guiltily, not daring to meet her gaze.

Rima looked at her and shook her head before walking over and sitting on Max’s other side.

Then looking at his lost expression, she gently smiled, “Don’t blame yourself. We are lovers and we share everything. I’m sure if it were you in my place, you would have done the same. Am I right?”

“I would have, but…” Max began speaking but Rima interrupted him, her eyes narrowing, “But what? We are equal in this relationship. If I can rely on you and feel no bad for it, why shouldn’t you?”

Max stared at her serious face and smiled, “You are right. I shouldn’t feel bad.”

“Good.” Rima also smiled. She then looked at Ellie, who still had her head lowered, and coldly said, “What are you sitting there silently for? Shouldn’t you apologize?”

Ellie shivered and bit her lip, “I-I’m sorry, elder sister. I shouldn’t have told him.”

“Hmph! I’ll forgive you this once, but if you dare to tell him our secrets from now on, I’ll punish you severely.” Rima said, her tone stern.

In reality, she didn’t blame her because if she was in her place, she would have also told him in that flow of conversation, but it was necessary to warn her. After all, the ladies would also have their own secrets that they wouldn’t want Max to know for one reason or another. If she still carelessly let them out, she would lose everyone’s trust which would hurt her most.

“I understand, elder sister.” Ellie nodded.

“Alright. Now raise your head.” Rima ordered and Ellie hesitantly looked up at her.

Rima then suddenly smiled and said, “I’m not angry, so there is no need to feel bad. Now, give me a smile.”

Immediately, the tension in the room plummeted and Ellie, seeing she was angry, sighed in relief in her heart, but tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Rima sighed and went over to her side. Then Max watched as she whispered something in her ear.

Ellie became flustered, looked at him before hurriedly wiping her tears and putting on her best smile.

Max gave Rima a mental thumbs up. If it was him, he wouldn’t have been able to coax her this fast and easily.

…

Three days flashed by in a blink of an eye. In these three days, Max did nothing but rest. Far from being bored, with two beautiful women—Rima and Ellie—by his side, he enjoyed the rest and felt peaceful and at ease.

When the sun rose on the fourth day, however, Max’s expression was unsightly because while he had recovered physically and no longer felt weak, he still couldn’t sense his dantian.

With him unable to use mana, how would he pass the recruitment test of the Beast Emperor Hall?

“Let’s give it a try. With your physical strength and bloodline energy, you are easily comparable to a Five Star mage. Maybe you can pass the tests.” Rima consoled before smiling teasingly, “Even if you don’t, I can still take you in as my servant.”

Knowing she was just trying to cheer him up, Max sighed, “Yeah. It seems I have no choice but to rely on my wives for survival now.”

“That’s not a bad thing, right?” Rima said, leaning on his shoulder.

“Yeah. It’s really not.” Max agreed, kissing her forehead. On his other side, Ellie blushed a little before nuzzling on his shoulder.

Amused, Max also kissed her forehead, making Ellie close her eyes and smile contentedly.

After having a light breakfast in the restaurant next to their inn, the trio headed toward the City Square where the transportation formation was.

The city was bustling with people and their tamed beasts.

Looking at them, Max patted the beast storage bag hanging on his waist, ‘Hang in there buddy. I’ll soon find something to heal you.’

Since the Nascent Energy wasn’t able to penetrate the Golden Winged Python’s tough skin and what managed to do it was unable to resist the foreign energies rampaging inside its body and since he also couldn’t buy the higher tiered medicine due to the lack of mana stones, he had been feeling helpless.

After getting the tower, he had asked for the Tower Spirit’s help but it told him before it recovered, it couldn’t expel the foreign energies, disappointing him.

However, he knew he could find something to heal it in the Beast Emperor Hall since it specialized in beast taming.

So, joining the Beast Emperor Hall was doubly important to him.

…

Because the recruitment was starting tomorrow, a long queue was formed in front of the transportation formation.

Max’s trio got in the line and after a few hours, it was finally their turn to use it. Rima paid the mana stones and soon they were transported to the Beast Emperor City along with several other people.

Shua!

Right as they were orienting themselves, A force pushed everyone away from the formation, causing them to stumble.

Max wasn’t feeling much discomfort so he quickly reacted and held Rima and Ellie, stopping them from falling.

He then shot a glare at the middle-aged man dressed in a black robe with Beast Emperor Hall’s insignia pinned to his chest.

The man was an Emperor Mage but noticing Max’s dissatisfaction, he lightly dipped his head in apology and a voice sounded in his ears.

[My apologies, young lad, but as you can see, the formation is flashing, meaning another batch of people is being transported here. So, I have no choice but to move everyone out of the formation.]

Max calmed down hearing him apologise and nodded in understanding.

He then led Rima and Ellie to a slightly open area to recover before glancing around.

The whole city—even though it was several times bigger than Malta City—seemed to be jam packed with people and more and more were arriving via transportation formations or city gates.

He also noticed that only less than one fifth of the people here were from the desolate regions, but be it the desolate region’s people or the native of central plains, everyone looked excited and nervous.

‘So, this is the attraction of a peak Emperor Rank Power?’ He mused, suddenly realizing that he had been severely underestimating the danger he was in because his enemies, be it the elves who snatched his Thunder Sword, Oliver and his father or the Thunder Family after his sword, all of them belonged to powers way stronger than the Beast Emperor Hall.
