Smiling gently at her, Max answered, "It's the beauty pill."
"Oh…" Flavia nodded without thinking. However, as her mind registered what he said, her beautiful eyes widened in shock and she hastily grabbed his hand with her trembling hands close to her chest and asked while stuttering, "D-Did you say… it… it's T-The beauty pill?"
Max sighed inwardly upon seeing her reaction and pulled her into his embrace. "Yes. It is The beauty pill."
Hearing him confirm, crystalline beads of tears welled up in her eyes as she started to sob softly into his chest, wetting his shirt.
Max didn't say anything and just hugged her delicate body more tightly, letting her cry out her grievances.
Although she had tried to act as if the scars didn't bother her, it was only because she knew she couldn't find and afford the medicine required to heal them, so she could only act indifferently toward them when, in reality; they affected her a lot. After all, although more mature and sensible for her age, she was still a young maiden who wanted to look good.
If anyone passed by, they would see the beautiful scene of a handsome young man embracing a goddess in the middle of the road as they stood still under the cover of moonlight. Fortunately, it was night and there wasn't anyone to disturb them.
"…"
After a while, Flavia's sob gradually died down and her turbulent emotions also calmed down.
However, when she realised she was being hugged tightly in his embrace and as his masculine scent entered her nostrils, her face turned a charming shade of red, her body heated and her young maiden's heart started to beat wildly.
She squirmed in his embrace, trying to wiggle out, but couldn't since Max's hold around her was quite firm.
Defeated and embarrassed, she could only try to calm her thumping heart down and raise her head to look at him with a begging look in her eyes, so he would let her go.
Unfortunately for her, Max's eyes were shut, and he seemed to be in a trance and had no intention of letting go.
Seeing this, her face turned bright red, and she opened her mouth to call out to him, but in the end, she didn't. Following which, she also closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest.
Gradually, she calmed down and for some strange reason, all of her worries, hatred, anger and anxiety seemed to vanish at this moment as if his embrace was her safe haven. Subconsciously, she snuggled deeper into his embrace, and a radiant smile bloomed on her face.
Suddenly, a thought appeared in her heart, 'How good it would be if we could stay like this for forever?'
Just as she was having these thoughts, she suddenly felt something hot and hard poke into her belly. Curious, she touched it to see what it was.
Ah~!
Feeling her soft hand over his shaft, Max involuntarily let out a soft moan of pleasure.
"Kyaa~!" Hearing him moan as she touched the hot and hard thing below, Flavia's mind short-circuited for a moment before she cried out in shame and embarrassment and pushed him away in panic.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Max staggered a few steps backwards.
"Y-You… t-that…" With a flushed face, Flavia pointed at him with her finger and tried to say something, but because her mind was a mess right now, she couldn't form a coherent sentence.
Embarrassed, she hastily turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit.
Max watched her run away, feeling awkward. Glancing at his boner, he cursed himself for not being able to control his desires.
Haa!
He then took a deep breath and greedily devoured Flavia's remaining scent and licked his lips as he murmured, "I hope that pill brings us closer, as I can't wait to have you, my princess."
…
In Belen's room, Belen was sitting cross-legged on her bed with her eyes closed while Leticia was walking back and forth, occasionally throwing impatient glances toward the door.
Phew~!
Belen let out a long breath and opened her eyes. Seeing Leticia, she chuckled, "Hehe, don't be so impatient. Since he promised, he will definitively come."
Leticia's face reddened slightly when she heard her teasing tone. She then sighed and muttered, "I know he will, but I hope he can come a little earlier so we can spend a little more time with him."
Hearing this, a longing expression briefly flashed in Belen's eye before she also sighed. Just as she was about to say something, she felt her communication crystal in her spatial ring buzz.
She took it out and as she heard the message, her expression dimmed slightly.
Noticing this, Leticia hurriedly asked, "It was Max, right? What did he say?"
Smiling bitterly, Belen nodded, "Yes. It was him. He said that he had some urgent matter to attend to tonight so, he would be late and we are to rest or cultivate until he arrives."
"WHAT?" Leticia shouted in surprise and anger.
Gritting her teeth, she clenched her fists and spoke, "He must have gone to some other woman. He… he is infuriating."
Belen didn't say anything and just let her vent her frustration, as she was also feeling a little indignant.
After a while, she regained her calm expression and spoke in a low voice, "We can't do anything about it. If you don't want him to ignore you like this, you know what you should do." Saying this, she took out a few Mana stones and started cultivating again.
After fuming for a while, Leticia also calmed down. She knew being angry would do nothing good for her and if she wanted to be the priority woman on Max's list; she had to increase her strength as she had also noticed that he seemed to prefer stronger woman.
She then chose a corner and also started cultivating.
Meanwhile, in another section of the female dormitory, Flavia came rushing toward her room. If one paid attention, they could see the tips of her ears were red and her chest was violently moving up and down.
After she came to a stop in front of her room, she took deep breaths to calm down before she turned around and glanced toward a corner in the corridor and asked in an emotionless tone, "Why are you here? Did my loving mother send you to end my life?"
