"Good evening, Minos." She said as she entered the young Stuart's office, immediately sitting down on a sofa there, completely relaxing her body in that place.
She closed her eyes for a second as her head rested on the back of the sofa. At the same time, this young woman let out a long sigh.
And seeing her friend doing this, Minos, who was still sitting in his armchair behind the desk where he usually worked, looked at her for a moment and said. "Looks like you're pretty tired. How was your day?"
At the same time, he got up from where he was before, throwing some papers in that place and going to the sofa.
Minos had already finished his responsibilities and was just reading a daily newsletter. However, it was nothing so crucial that he couldn't put it off until later. After all, the employees' hours were already over, and any decision that was to be made, he would have to wait until the next day.
Anyway, as he sat next to Abby, who had her beautiful blue hair spread across the sofa, Minos wrapped his right arm around her waist and watched her from the side.
"It's the usual. I spent the last few hours patrolling the city wall. But nothing unusual happened. Only a few people from the 3rd stage of cultivation, coming from the Kingdom of the Waves and Stone Island, passed through there today." She said while still having her eyes closed and her face turned towards the ceiling.
Obviously, the small immigration of people from these two states had been going on since the arrival of the Cohen family store in Dry City and the beginning of the trade of the local items on Stone Island.
Due to that, people of White talent from these two states would occasionally arrive in the city ruled by Minos.
On Stone Island, Elen advertised the Dry City to a few customers, those who were more humble and would not miss the opportunity to improve their lives in the city of Minos.
As for the Kingdom of the Waves, the Cohen family was helping the Black Plain do the same attraction work that Elen was doing, but there was another factor as well. That is, the merchants of the Cohen family who did the delivery and business with the Black Plain knew about the opportunities in this place and were already moving here.
Their families were coming to live in the Dry City, while these lesser couriers and merchants were coming and going from the Kingdom of the Waves.
Furthermore, there were also those ordinary people who would typically pass through the city of Minos without significant commitments, like people traveling from one state to another. For example, the coachman who had brought Peter's family here.
That man had not yet returned to the Dry City, given the distance from his homeland from this region of Minos. However, he was already making this change, as were many others in his situation.
As for the nobles and people who customarily traveled between the respective states, Kingdom Brown, Kingdom of the Waves, Kingdom Cromwell, and Stone Island, most of them did not pass through the Dry City. After all, people at this level usually had a higher standard and also faster beasts!
With this, they could cross the Black Plain with greater speed, avoiding having to go through a 'poor, degrading and useless place.'
An example of this was Ruth, who, with her eagle of the 4th stage of cultivation, could go from Dry City to the City of Waters in less than 15 hours.
People from higher positions would hardly pass through Minos' territory. The usual thing would be just what Abby had just said to the young sovereign.
Anyway, after hearing his friend's response and seeing the tired expression on her face, Minos understood why she was like this. 'Well, she didn't ask me to change her position, even though it's a bit tedious for her... So, that means she understands the need for this service.'
He then slowly brought Abby's sensual body into his lap, pulling her gently without disturbing her too much. He was already gaining a little more 'freedom' with this young woman, so she had not rejected Minos' action as she had done before.
Feeling Minos' 'smart hands' running over her body, Abby didn't even open her eyes as she commented with a smile on her face. "Last time, I helped you relax. Maybe you want to return the favor?"
At that moment, Abby was completely on Minos' lap while the young man's arms were wrapped around her waist. He then said in her ear. "Hehe, I've always been willing to do this for you. What do you think? Maybe you want to test my humble skills?"
"Oh? Are your skills really good? More than the massage I gave you the other day?"
"The comparison is a bit unfair, but while I can't affect your senses as you do with your ability, I am confident that I can bring relaxation...."
Abby then opened her eyes and looked back into Minos' eyes, with a slight smile in the corner of her eyes and lips. "Are you confident?"
"Hmm, as long as you don't use your ability to seal your senses..." He vaguely said as he recalled Abby's abilities.
This young woman's innate ability not only affected the bodies of other people she touched, but she could do it herself. Like, for example, sealing off her senses so she doesn't feel something like sexual stimulation.
But this was something quite different from what a Spiritual General could do after passing level 40. For these individuals, they would, at most, seal one or another sense related to external things, like the temperature, the feel of a moving boat, etc.
But this did not involve sensations generated internally in the body, such as sexual desire, desire for specific dishes, etc.
However, the innate ability generated by Abby's Physique could do things like that!
Obviously, all this depended on this young woman's own will. If she were really against something and wanted to close herself off from the world, then that would be pretty hard to stop.
At the very least, someone many times stronger than she would have to act against her for Abby's ability not to work.
And Minos hadn't reached that level yet. In fact, he had only managed to bring this relationship closer to him and Abby because this young woman trusted him much more than other people.
As childhood friends, best friends, by the way, Abby would naturally not seal her senses when she was with Minos.
As a result, this young woman was subjected to his 'attacks.' Because of the desire that had already formed in her mind, she had almost reached the point where she was not using her ability to stop the development of this relationship.
But if she wanted, she could...
And upon hearing Minos' comment, Abby looked at him and said with a small smile at the corner of her lips. "And when did I use my ability while I was with you?"
'Hmph, you always use this to hold yourself back and not go too deep... Do you think I can't distinguish the spiritual fluctuations in your body?' He thought to himself as he saw one side of Abby's beautiful face.
Given the character of the Devouring Art, the young Stuart's spiritual senses were far sharper than those of ordinary cultivators. Moreover, because of the connection between the 'containers' of spiritual energy that had their powers stolen, the user of this technique could feel a much deeper connection with the spiritual fluctuations.
Because of this, Minos could distinguish more easily than others when someone was using their own body's spiritual energy for something. As in the case of Abby.
Finally, he told her. "Since you won't stop me, let's take off your uniform and armor first, okay?"
"Hmm." She made a sound of agreement as she relaxed into Minos' lap, letting him take her clothes off.
After a few moments, Abby only had the leg part of her clothes, leaving only her bra on her upper body. Other than that, she was without any other item of clothing from the waist up.
'Let's get started…' Minos thought to himself as he slid his hands over Abby's waist, moving up to her chest.
