The supreme mage continued after a pause, "I had designed the system in such a way that it will help both the host and me. Whenever the host had sex, the system will use the yin and the yang energy and combine them to create the Nascent energy.
It will then divide the energy into three parts, two big ones for the host and me and one small part for the host's partner so that all involved parties would benefit.
It would then transfer my share of the Nascent energy to the formation which is supporting me while the system will store the host's share of energy as lust points which he can use as he pleases."
He then looked at Max and said, "In other words, my only intentions were to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with the host and the host would've no reason to doubt my intentions since he was only benefitting.
However, you… because you weren't utilising the system to its fullest, and I was getting impatient, I intervened and tried to 'guide' you so you would use it properly, but my attempts caused you to become wary." The man sighed.
Then his expression became indignant as he said, "Because I don't want this to hinder our future cooperation, I had to use almost all the Nascent energy I had accumulated until now to appear in front of you and explain these things"
Max didn't mind his expression. After hearing all this, he took a breath of relief and his stiff shoulders relaxed.
Although his explanation sounded reasonable, Max didn't completely believe it. However, there was nothing he could do about it and, most importantly, he was relieved that this man didn't have any intention of taking over his body.
He smiled and said, "You wouldn't have to use that energy if had explained these things in the beginning."
The supreme mage's expression contorted as he scoffed, "If I knew you were a useless person who couldn't even sense the Mana, let alone cultivate, I would've explained the things. Unfortunately, I was asleep when you received the system."
Before Max could say anything, the supreme mage's body started flickering.
"It seems the remaining energy is about to run out." He said, "Now that I've told you everything, work a little harder to collect as much nascent energy as you can."
He then glanced at the sleeping beauty Maria, and said, "Remember to treat her with care and even if she doesn't want to go with you, you must treat her well. She is such a pure girl."
"Don't worry about that." Max nodded. He then looked at the man and his expression became serious as he said, "Stop peeking and listening when I'm with my women."
The man smiled playfully and said, "You got it." He then vanished.
Flop!
Max walked toward the bed and laid beside Maria. He closed his eyes to digest the influx of information he suddenly received.
…
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Max felt movement near him.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Maria had woken up and was preparing to head out.
"Where are you going? Come here." He grabbed her hand and pulled her to his chest and hugged her.
"Ahh… m-my lord. It's almost morning. I need to go out or my superiors might find out." Maria nervously said. But despite saying this, she didn't try to resist in the slightest.
"Don't worry about it." Max said as he tightened his grip around her belly, pulled her delicate body closer to him. His crotch rubbing against her soft ass and his head over her shoulder. As he smelled the fragrance of her hair, an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.
Being so intimately embraced by him, Maria's body shivered and she overcame with emotions.
Max put his mouth near her ear and gently asked, "Why did you refuse? From what I see, you want to be my woman too, right?"
When she heard this, Maria nodded slightly and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Shh… Don't cry. Tell me, what's the problem?" Max turned her body around to face him and gently wiped her tears.
Being treated like this, Maria felt very blessed. She stopped crying, put her head in his chest and said in a low voice, "I… I feel blessed my lord deem me worthy to be your w-woman and I also want it. However, if I agree to be my lord's woman, I would've to leave the city and the people would jeer at and ostracize my parents for giving birth to a girl who left them for a h-human. Moreover, my parents are old and can't survive on their own."
After hearing this, Max went silent. After a while, he suggested, "How about I take your parents with me? They can stay back at my home with my family."
His words moved Maria. However, she shook her head and said a faint voice, "My parents… they won't agree to live with humans because they hat… have some prejudice toward humans."
Max smiled wryly and cursed the bastards who tarnished the human race's image to this degree.
Max didn't speak anymore. There was nothing he could say because he could see that Maria was a very filial woman and wouldn't leave her parents, no matter how much she wanted to be with him.
After a while, Maria looked at him and said, "My lord, c-can you fulfil one wish of mine?"
"Yes. What is it?" Max said without hesitation.
Maria's breathing quickened, and her face flushed red as she opened her mouth and said, "I-I want properly to do t-that with my lord."
"Oh?" A smile appeared on Max's face when he heard this.
Although he was tempted to do it since she wished it, he was worried her injury might not have fully healed so he asked, "Are you feeling alright down there?"
Hearing his question, Maria blushed furiously in embarrassment. Her face became so red that it looked as if blood would drip if someone touched it.
But she still nodded, "Y-yes. I'm fine. M-My lord can d…do it."
