"Don't bother. I don't want to, nor I can afford to spend so many LPs." Max said, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
The system, however, was bent on earning extra points. It said,
[I understand your concern. That's why I'm willing to help you hatch the egg first. As for the payment, you can pay when you can. There won't be any deadlines or any interest. Isn't this a good deal?]
Max's eyes shone when he heard this, but didn't immediately reply.
Seeing him remain silent, the system spoke again.
[Don't hesitate, kid. I'm doing this all for your sake. If you have a high ranked beast companion, the chances of you surviving the upcoming calamity will increase by a few times.]
Hearing this, Max doubtfully said, "The war is only a month away. Even if you can hatch the egg this instant, it will be just a newborn and will need time to grow. I don't think it can become strong enough to help me in the war."
[Hehe, you would be right if it was a normal beast. This beast, however, is the golden-winged python, which should be the offspring of at least a king ranked beast if not higher.]
[Moreover, there are some chances of it to awaken its ancestral bloodline when it hatches. If that happens, not to mention a month, it'll be stronger than you as soon as it is born.] The system chuckled and revealed the shocking information about his soon to be companion.
Max had an astonished expression on his face which lasted for a while before he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Almost everyone around me is awakening their bloodlines. At this rate, I'll soon be the weakest among them."
[Don't be impatient, kid. When I have recovered enough, I will help you awaken yours too.] The system said, chuckling lightly.
Max smiled and shifted the topic back to the egg, asking. "How long will it take you to hatch it?"
[Given the egg's condition, it should take a few days to a week.] Answered the system.
"Alright. You can get to it then." Max said.
[Okay. Try not to disturb me unless it's something important.] The system said before going silent.
Max nodded, his eyes twinkling in excitement.
After resting for a while, he stood up and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
When he returned, Amara was still absorbing the blood energy from the blood gem.
Not wanting to disturb her, he quietly left the room and went to her practice chamber to continue to practice his spells.
…
This time, it took Amara almost two and a half days to recover her pure yin completely. Also, she almost used up three blood gems in the process.
Just like before, she also made some progress toward the high-stage three-star realm and her demon energy also seemed to have become purer than before, which delighted her.
Looking at the remaining blood gems, she sighed, "If I can use them to cultivate instead of recovering my pure yin, I believe I can easily break through to the high-stage and also made some progress toward the peak of three-star."
Just then, Max entered the room and smiled at her. "Don't worry. You'll be able to focus on your cultivation when we go hunting."
Hearing this, Amara sighed in relief and thanked him. "Thank you, master."
Max nodded and said, "Okay. Rest for a while. Once you are ready, we'll do it."
Amara's heart rate quickened a little when she heard this. Nodding her head, she lay down on the bed and slept for two hours. She then went to the bathroom to take a bath.
After a while, she returned to the room and announced, "I'm ready, master."
Max was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. When he heard her, he opened his eyes. When he laid his eyes on her, he couldn't help but say, "You look beautiful."
She had just a white towel wrapped around her curvaceous body. The towel was covering only her upper body and nether regions, leaving her dainty hands and long, smooth legs exposed for him to admire. Her hair was slightly wet, and there was a refreshed look on her face.
When she was about to put on her clothes after washing up, it occurred to her that if she went out only in a towel, he would most definitely like it. So, to please him, she came out just like that.
Upon hearing his compliment, she felt her heart flutter and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you, master." She said, blushing a little, which made her appear even more beautiful.
"Mm. Come here." Max gestured for her to come near him.
Swaying her tantalizing body, Amara gracefully walked to him and stood at the bedside, right in front of him.
Sitting up, Max extended his hand and wrapped around her slim waist and pulled her onto the bed and into his embrace.
As he inhaled her fresh, feminine scent, an intoxicated expression appeared on his face. Her scent was unique and almost hypnotising.
When he inhaled it, he would feel refreshed. All his worries and thoughts would seem to vanish and his lust would be triggered, which would make it hard for him to hold back.
He had asked her if it was her natural scent and she told him it was natural and almost every female of the blood winged tribe had the same scent. The only difference was in the intensity of it. The stronger the person, the stronger the scent.
Seeing the intoxicated expression on her face, Amara felt happy. Every lady would want their man to have such an expression when they were with them. It didn't matter if the said female was human or demon.
After a moment, Max raised his head and looked at her. Amara understood what he wanted and leaned her head toward him. Gently, she placed her velvety lips on his and started kissing.
As he tasted her lips, his hands didn't stay put. He lifted the towel from her backside and started fondling her springy ass.
