Dual Cultivation: Beasts and Women!

After Liam had finished getting dressed, had sex with Electa for the second time, and then actually washed up, he warned her after they had signed the Magic Contract.

Electa was also finishing getting dressed and adjusting her clothes when she looked at him and frowned. "What are you talking about?"

He could see the annoyance on her face. He had just shown this woman something incredible and now he said that he couldn't do anything with her for the next few days? That was obvious enough to make anyone angry.

He explained to her, "I'm nearing the end of my first month in the sect. But I still haven't hunted the 30 Arcane Crystals I'm supposed to deliver to the Records Hall this month. I'm going out tomorrow to hunt down them, as well as next month's. I'll do it all in one trip, so I can spend the next two months without thinking about it."

Her expression improved a bit, but she wasn't happy. "Then we'll do it again tomorrow before you leave. That should work for you, right?"

"Yeah, I'll try."

"Since you're going hunting, be careful. From what you've told me, I have a feeling that you're going to be attacked a few times by other townspeople on this hunt... Besides, there are beasts and Spirit Masters from other cities who will try to hurt you." She advised him, not liking that he had to leave, but knowing that he had little a choice.

The sect rarely interfered in the lives of its disciples. But their responsibilities to the sect could not be ignored. If one of them was late in fulfilling them, high-ranking members would appear to punish the offenders!

"I know. I'm going to buy some defensive items before I return to my room. Later, I have to visit Mary and continue my training and studies."

When she heard the name of her rival, Electa thought little about it, thinking that there was no way she could get him to stay with only her.

If she had the choice, she would definitely prefer Liam alone with her. This wasn't the wish of a woman in love who wanted her man all to herself, but the interests of a cultivator who didn't want competitors to have access to her opportunities.

Liam was handsome and charming, smart and funny. But Electa had just met him and wouldn't develop feelings for him so quickly. Sex was pleasant and extremely valuable, even so, her rational side was behind her preferences for him now.

"I'll be free tomorrow morning. What do you think?" She asked him, trying to put aside the feeling of competition with Mary.

There would be more women in relationships with him soon, so she had to get used to the idea of sharing him with several others.

Fortunately for Liam, Twin Land was a place where harems were common, and it wouldn't be too difficult for his fellow cultivators to understand his need to have more than one partner.

"All right. I'll see you later tomorrow morning."

He was about to say goodbye when she grabbed one of his wrists and asked, "That's it? I think I deserve a little more, don't you?" She smiled at him.

'That woman...' Liam found it strange, but understood what she wanted.

He kissed her, dancing with Electa's tongue for a minute as they held each other.

"Now it's fine. See you tomorrow, Liam." She smiled at him and watched him leave.

After Liam left, she stood in front of her bedroom door for a minute, smiling contentedly.

'I'm going to make you fall in love with me, my love...'

She wrapped her hands around her own body, feeling a warmth she hadn't felt since before her tragedies.

Before her misfortunes, she was a young woman who wanted to find a good man and get married. She had a few suitors, and although she had never gone deep into a relationship to fulfill her desires, she had flirted and experienced passion.

Now, after cultivating and having sex out of pure sexual desire, she couldn't help but feel some dormant flames in her body.

However, her rational side couldn't help but work in her favor, seeing that she had reached a great opportunity. Now she didn't want to let go of precious Liam Porter!

After a while, she also left her room, with various plans and missions in mind, changes to old plans, and additional needs she would have from now on.

...

Hours later, night had come to this part of the fjord. Liam had visited Street Fifty-Three and cultivated with Mary after days of doing nothing with her.

Even after cultivating with Mary, he still hadn't been able to complete the next step to advance his cultivation to the 8-Star level. But he wasn't disappointed. The next day, he would cultivate with Electa again, and then he would go out on a mission that might take a few days. Surely, he would have a chance to improve his hunting skills as well, he imagined.

After cultivating with Mary, he told her he had gotten a second partner. Although there was no immediate need to tell his first partner about it, since he had already talked to Electa about her, he thought it was only fair to broach the subject with Mary.

Mary handled it well, having already mentally prepared herself to deal with competition, but also aware of how beneficial it could be for her to have him with others as well.

The more partners Liam had and the stronger they were, the better it would be for him to increase his power. But the stronger he was, the stronger the effects of dual cultivation seemed to be for his weaker partner, her.

As a result, Mary was much more comfortable with the whole thing than Electa.

After dealing with this important matter, he studied and practiced his techniques some more before resting after a long and tiring day.

After days of injury and trouble, Liam was recovered, stronger, and with a new partner. Because of all this, he slept like a baby that night, until the dawn of a new day.

When awakening alone in his room this morning, Liam stretched with an animated smile on his face, feeling relaxed and ready for the challenges ahead.

'A new day begins.' He stood up, dressed, and made his way to the refectory of City Thirteen.

His biological needs were still high, so he needed to eat at least three times a day.

Sometimes Liam ate in restaurants like the one he had taken Electa to yesterday, but most of the time he ate in the disciples' refectory, where free, good quality food was available.

The food in the refectory wasn't as good as the food in the local restaurants, but it was still better than the food in the famous, highly rated restaurants on Earth.

For Liam, the refectory was another aspect of Demon Gate he thought was excellent.

After seeing Mary already working her shift in the large refectory, Liam served himself, filling his plate with the various options available in the self-service food court.

As he sat down to eat, not interacting too much with Mary so as not to cause her any trouble, he considered his plans before he left.

'I'll finish buying the resources I didn't get yesterday, and then I'll go to the Runes Hall. Later I'll stop by Electa's dormitory and then it's time for me to continue my mission.'

Yesterday afternoon, Liam bought some items for his journey out of City Thirteen. Besides the orb he had received from the Leopard's leader and the special potion Lazarus had given him, Liam had the sword and dagger he had received when he joined the sect, but also a torso armor he had bought yesterday.

But before he left, he wanted to buy some more survival things. His many enemies in the city made him think that he would have several problems in the coming hours and days, so he wanted to prepare for the worst.

'Even if I advance to 8-Star, Thal'Korr won't advance that fast. Besides, I have some enemies who are much stronger than that,' Liam thought as he finished his meal, using his skepticism to his advantage to prepare for the journey ahead.

'I will concentrate on spending my last coins on restorative items for myself and Thal'Korr. By the time I return, it will be almost time for me to receive my next Initiate's wage, so spending all I have left now won't harm me.'

Liam made his way to the pill and potion store near to the refectory building. Arriving at a shop the size of a small pharmacy on Earth, he weighed his options, considering how much money he had left after nearly three weeks in Demon Gate.
