Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 324 Conflicted Maria

Hearing his words, Maria blushed furiously and covered her face with her hands. In her heart, she felt happy.

When Max saw her reaction, his breathing grew heavy. He held her blushing face in his hands and passionately kissed her.

He had to admit that despite not being as pretty as his sweet half-sister Anna, his beloved Lilly or Flavia, Mariaʼs bashful personality was enough to make him fall for her.

He looked at her and asked, ”Are you alright? I mean, do you still feel pain down there?”

His question both surprised and embarrassed Maria. But since he asked, she nodded and faintly said, ”Y-Yes but itʼs not as painful as when…”

Maria didnʼt complete her sentence, but Max knew what she meant.

He stood up, climbed down from the bed, and said, ”Letʼs go.”

Maria panicked when she saw this and anxiously said, ”M-My lord. I l-lied. It doesnʼt hurt at all. Please forgive me.”

Seeing her act this way, Max sighed. He gently lifted her in his hands and walked toward the bathroom.

His action confused Maria. If she wasnʼt so anxious, she couldʼve guessed what he wanted. Max could feel her nervously fidgeting in his arms, so he said, ”Donʼt worry. We are going to take a bath first.”

Maria visibly relaxed after hearing this. She was afraid that he mightʼve felt bad after hearing she was still feeling pain and decided not to continue. Fortunately, his words dispelled her fears, but deep in her heart, she was also a little disappointed because it meant he didnʼt care if she felt pain.

If she knew what Max was actually thinking, she wouldnʼt have felt the same way because, after seeing how much blood she lost and she was still feeling pain, he knew he may have injured her pussy with that forceful thrust. Therefore, despite wanting to do her, he decided to stop for the night.

…

After a few minutes, they emerged from the bathroom. Max was still holding Maria in his hands.

She was looking at him with a conflicted gaze. It was because while he was helping her bathe; he had told her they wonʼt be having sex tonight because she might be injured down there.

She felt very happy after hearing this because she could feel how badly he wanted her a while ago. This made her want to curse herself for feeling disappointed earlier. However, she also felt bad about it because she knew she had lost the chance to embrace him properly.

ʼShould I ask madam supervisor to serve him for a few days more?ʼ She thought. However, she knew it wasnʼt possible because the rule was that the servants serving the guests would change every day. This was especially true if the guests were form human race and were males.

”Do you want to rest for a while?” Max asked.

His question brought out her thoughts. She shook her head, ”N-No. Itʼs fine, my lord. I will go.”

”Okay.” Max nodded and put her down.

He then took out a few grade-two healing pills and gave them to her. ”Here. Eat one of these. That injury will heal.”

”Un.” Maria obediently took them. After eating one pill, she tried giving him the rest of the pills back, but Max refused her.

After that, they both stood there in silence. Max was looking at her, deep in his thoughts. Maria knew it was the time for her to go out, but her feet didnʼt want to move.

She suddenly recalled something and pointed at the bedsheet and asked, ”M-My lord. Should I change the bedsheet since it isnʼt usable anymore?”

Max didnʼt respond. He was looking at his Lust points notifications. The last notification, to be precise.

After he decided to let Maria go, the system had suddenly spoken and asked him to look at the notifications.

Initially, Max didnʼt understand why it asked him to do this, but after looking at the last notification, he understood what the system wanted to say.

[Elvin virgin essence obtained. Added 20,000 Lust points.]

ʼThis…ʼ Max was surprised. It wasnʼt the first time he got this type of notification. The first time he had sex with Lilly, Leticia, and other virgins, he got the same notification, but the amount of lust points never exceeded 2000. So, it was unsurprising that he was shocked.

He wanted to ask the system why this was so when he heard Mariaʼs voice.

”My lord. My lord…”

”Yes? What is it?” He asked,

Maria looked at him worriedly and said, ”I was asking if I should change the bedsheet?”

”Oh? Yeah. You can do it.” Max nodded.

After Maria walked to the bed and started changing the bedsheet with the new one, Max whispered, ”System, whatʼs going on? Why did I get so many LPs?”

[Itʼs because female elvesʼ virgin essence contains several times purer yin energy compared to the human females.] The system replied.

Maxʼs eyes shined with greed when he heard this and mumbled, ”Doesnʼt it mean I can earn quite a lot LPs if I invite the other servant girls in?”

The words had just left his mouth when the system dashed his fantasy. [No, you wonʼt.]

”Why is that?” Max frowned.

[Itʼs because none of the elves outside is a virgin.] The system said.

Hearing this, Max was disappointed.

The system laughed and said, [Kid, donʼt be disappointed. It doesnʼt matter if they arenʼt virgin, if you have sex with them, the lust points youʼll receive will be more than what you receive from the human ladies. Go, call them. They are just waiting for you.]

”No.” Max shook his head.

[Tch, what does that mean? Let me tell you, this is a very good chance to earn the much needed lust points. Donʼt waste it.] The system said in an angry tone.

Max went silent for a moment before shaking his head again, ”Iʼm a guest here. It wonʼt look if I go fucking their maids.”

The system only made some discontented sounds but didnʼt speak anymore.

...

After a while, Maria was done changing the sheets.

”Itʼs done, my lord. I shall go out now.” She bowed toward him before reluctantly turning around to go out.

”Wait.” Max stopped her.

Maria turned around and look at him with an expectant gaze.

Max looked at her for a few moments without saying anything which made Maria restless. He then opened his mouth and asked, ”Do you want to become my woman?”

”What?” Maria was caught off guard. Her eyes widened and she let out a loud yell in surprise.

”I asked whether you would like to become my woman?” Max repeated his question.

He didnʼt ask this only because Maria was sweet and beautiful, but also because he liked her timid and bashful personality and her innocence also reminded him of Lilly. However, the most important reason was because, even though he took her virginity, he didnʼt get to have sex with her and he didnʼt want any other man to be the one to do it.

Maria was too stunned to answer. When he stopped her, she had thought of many reasons but she didnʼt dare to think this even though she very much wanted it to happen.

After she overcame the shock, suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes and her body started trembling. She clenched her tiny first so tightly that her nails dug into her palm and blood started to flow out.

ʼHm?ʼ Max raised his brows. He knew it was an important decision but he didnʼt expect such intense reaction.

After a while, she stopped trembling. She looked him with tears still flowing down her cheeks and shook her head, ”No. P-Please forgive me my lord.”

As she said this, she felt her world collapse in front of her eyes and her legs went soft.

Whoosh!

Before she fell to the ground, Max appeared by her side and supported her. He looked at her found that she had already fainted.

”What happened?” Max knitted his brows in confusion. Why did she react that way when she was the one to reject his proposal? He didnʼt understand.

[Sigh!] Just then he heard the system sigh. He squinted his eyes and asked, ”You know what happened to her?”

[Itʼs nothing much. She is just one of those emotional fools.] The system scoffed tonelessly before going silent.
