Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 724  I Thought You Would Know

He wanted to watch them for a while in silence, but almost immediately, Lilyʼs head flicked in his direction and then…

Swoosh!

She rushed over and jumped toward him, her arms outstretched and a beautiful smile on her face.

Max smiled and caught her before hugging her, ”Whoa! Someone is happy today.” He said, giving her lips a peck.

Before she could respond…

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Emily and Sera also rushed over and hugged him, snuggling into his chest.

Hugging the trio and feeling their radiating love and happiness, he became happy and forgot all his worries.

ʼHow wonderful!ʼ He thought, hoping the time to stop so he could enjoy this calmness and happiness in their embrace.

Unfortunately, to his and the trioʼs dissatisfaction, just a few seconds later, a monotonous voice sounded.

[Your time is up. Please stand in the center of the room. Youʼll be teleported out.]

Despite hearing the announcement, the ladies didnʼt show any indication of moving, causing him to smile wryly.

He then playfully swatted their bottoms and chuckled, ”Letʼs go, girls.”

They reluctantly pulled away, and a few moments later, they were teleported to the transference hall.

Almost immediately, he felt his communication crystal buzz in his spatial ring. When he took it out and heard the message, he sighed.

”Who is it, my lord?” Sera asked, and Emily and Lily also looked at him.

”Itʼs Wy—Lady Wyomin. She wants to meet me.” Max said, ”Letʼs go.”

”But she wants to meet only you.” Emily said, not wanting to go uninvited.

Max playfully pulled her cheek and said, ”I want you to come with me, so come.”

Emily swatted his hand away and glared at him as she rubbed her cheek. ”Donʼt do that. Iʼm not a kid.”

In response, Max grinned and deliberately looked her up and down before nodding, ”Indeed.”

Emily blushed and turned around. ”Letʼs go.”

Lily and Sera chuckled silently, thinking only he could tame her and make her act like this.

They had finished cultivating a day before and had been sparring and helping each other. They had indeed become a lot closer after doing it together, but they still felt slightly suppressed when facing her even when she hadnʼt activated her bloodline, and her behavior, although warmer than before, was still detached.

However, when she was near Max, she would stop exuding the natural suppression, and her personality would become warmer.

…

A while later, under his lead, they arrived in front of the wall behind which lay Wyominʼs chambers.

Zoom!

A moment later, an opening appeared on the wall, and they walked inside.

They saw Wyomin sitting on the sofa in the center of the large room, looking at them with her brows raised.

”I hope you donʼt mind me bringing them with me, Lady Wyomin.” Max casually said as he walked over and sat in front of her.

The trio didnʼt sit. After bowing toward Wyomin, they stood behind him, making him frown.

”Why are you not sitting?” He asked,

”Itʼs alright, young master.” Lily said, and Max sighed.

The trio was surprised seeing how casual he was being with Wyomin, which made them secretly sweat in nervousness. She was a fricking emperor for godʼs sake, someone who should be treated with respect, especially by low-realm mages like them.

However, he was acting as though she was just a normal person. Though they knew his relationship with her had become quite good, they were still worried if his lack of respect would anger her.

Moreover, they could see she wasnʼt happy about the fact that he brought them along. So, they didnʼt want to anger her any more by sitting in front of her like she was their equal.

However, to their surprise, Wyomin said, ”Donʼt be nervous. Sit down.”

After they sat down beside him, she glanced at Max and asked, ”I assume they already know why you are here. So, I donʼt need to hide it, right?”

Max nodded, ”You are right.”

Wyomin looked at him; though she didnʼt show any anger or dissatisfaction, Max could feel the air in the chambers become heavy. However, he calmly looked at her, not a bit nervous.

Sigh!

Wyomin sighed and said, ”Itʼs my fault for not warning you beforehand.”

While Max raised his brows at her words, she looked at the girls before looking at him, ”You should know if the news of this piece of wood somehow leaks, I most likely die, and all those who know about it too.”

”So, I hope, if not for me, for your safety at least, you donʼt tell anyone else about it, no matter how much you believe them or how close they are to you. The more people know about it, the more the chances of an accident happening.”

Immediately, the trioʼs expression turned dignified, and Max narrowed his eyes, ”Why did you not tell me this earlier?”

Wyomin looked at him evenly and said, ”I had thought after seeing how secretive I was being and how precious it was for me, you would know itʼs something very valuable and would know not to tell anyone else.”

”...”

Max looked at her speechlessly before sighing in his heart. ʼIt seems I should not share all secrets with them after all.ʼ

”Donʼt worry, little Max. We will not tell it to anybody. So, you donʼt need to worry.” Emily said with a serious expression on her face.

Max smiled and placed his hand on hers. ”I know you wouldnʼt.” Then he turned to Wyomin and said, ”Alright. Give it to me.”

Nodding, Wyomin took out the withered piece of wood and handed it to him. Emily and others looked at it with curiosity flickering in their eyes and thought, ʼIndeed, just as he said, it doesnʼt look or feel anything special.ʼ

Max placed it in his palm before placing his other hand on top of it. Then closing his eyes, he started, slowly, injecting the Nascent Energy into it while also trying to inspect it.

A minute later… Ha!

He took a deep breath and threw the wood, which looked no different than it did a minute before, toward Wyomin, his face pale.
