Chapter 9 – Sickly Beauty
Chapter 9 - Sickly Beauty
...
Under the cover of the night, both Leon and Nana ran while hiding from time to time.
Leon's body wasn't one very used to running for so long and soon, Leon became breathless as he gasped and cursed the previous owner of the body.
'Dammit.. this body is absolutely wrecked! My joints creak as if they will break apart soon. My muscles are all tightened up and the stamina is completely exhausted...' Leon thought to himself as he tried his best to keep up with the young girl.
He even had thoughts of abandoning the girl and to return back home, but the thought of such a young child crying while searching for him in the middle of the night.. that thought prevented him from leaving her alone.
After running for about half an hour, both of them reached a huge estate. Unlike Leon's new home, this one was very well tended to and looked grand and prestigious. One look at it and you could tell that it belonged to someone very rich and influential.
The young girl, Nana coughed slightly as she sat down near the wall to rest. Upon recovering a bit, she looked toward Leon and spoke,
"T-This is the backyard of my house. I found a broken portion covered by some bushes. It will lead us to my sister's room." Leon followed Nana's gaze and looked at the two-storied building near the wall.
'Well... I could have easily scaled the building but..this body is beyond exhausted..' Leon thought as he tried to prepare himself for action.
Nana stood back up and walked towards the wall and pushed some plants and debris aside to reveal a hidden hole in the wall. It was easily the size to let him in.
Nana quickly went inside it and Leon followed behind her.
Once inside, Nana motioned for Leon to remain quiet as she tip-toed her way to an opened window in the building.
As Leon looked around himself, he found a very beautiful garden around him, filled with green and lush grass. Beautiful flowers and huge trees surrounded the place as it seemed almost an exact copy of the place Leon cultivated.
Pushing those thoughts aside, Leon followed behind Nana and jumped inside through the opened window.
"Pssh! Here.. follow me. We are almost there.." Nana quietly whispered to Leon as she started to move ahead.
Leon observed many kinds of pots and utensils, as he exited the large kitchen and found Nana going upstairs.
There were many antiques and pieces of art around the gallery, which led to a few rooms.
The two went along until Nana finally stopped in front of a sliding door. She pushed it open a little and went straight towards the single bed inside.
As Leon looked inside, he saw a dimly lit room, that was only being illuminated by the moonlight coming through the curtains.
A deep blue-haired woman was sleeping inside on a bed, as Nana tried to shake her awake.
"Big Sister.. wake up quickly. I will heal you soon." Nana quietly whispered to the woman sleeping there, as the woman's expression distorted and she suddenly started to cough heavily.
Nana became very worried as she quickly poured water in a glass and brought it back to the woman sitting up.
The woman drank the water as she breathed and tried to calm herself down. After a while, the woman softly spoke to Nana,
"Nana.. what's wrong? *Cough*.. Did you have a bad dream? You cannot sleep beside me anymore." The woman looked at Nana with a sorry expression.
As Leon's gaze scanned the woman, he found that although the woman was in poor health and was skinny, her facial beauty and graceful charm were definitely observable even now.
However, he only felt pity for her, since her health seemed to be extremely bad. Also, he wasn't a Doctor or a Magician. He knew of no method by which he could begin to treat her illness.
He helplessly saw the two sisters talking together, as Nana quickly motioned for him to come closer.
"Big Sister, this is my new friend Leon. He is a big Magician and I think that he will make your illness vanish like ZAPAK!" Nana tried to explain herself to her sister using exaggerated expressions.
As Leon smiled at the woman slightly and prepared to speak, the System alerted him instantly.
[Alert! User, the Great Devil Ancestors have blessed you with great luck!]
'Eh? Great luck? I am about to be driven out like a Con man soon and you are playing jokes on me?' Leon angrily spoke to the System in his mind.
[No. I am serious! The woman in front of you has a natural Yin physique. It attracts all the negative energy from beyond this world as it gets collected inside her.]
[The reason for her bad health is a condition called Yin Overload. She doesn't know any method of utilizing the Yin energy and can only suffer as her body deteriorates from its side effects.]
[If she was born a Demon, she could have easily used it and ascended long ago. Alas, she is truly a hell's favored one. With you here, not only can she recover with time, her strength would also increase by leaps and bounds!]
'Hang on for a while. You still haven't told me how she could be healed yet? Also, are you sure that she could even be rescued anymore? I mean, honestly, she looks to be at death's door.' Leon became more confused with the System's explanation and tried to get some more hints.
[You are a stupid human, that's why you still doubt my words. Did you forget that you got the 'Incubus Lord's Yin Harvesting Manual'? With it, not only would you quickly rise in Cultivation levels, but the woman's body would also receive it's benefits, as she would become a Dual Cultivator.]
[Truthfully, she would be more of a Cultivation Cauldron, just that she would become stronger alongside you. As a perk, with the 'Incubus Lord's Yin Harvesting Manual', she would never be able to Dual Cultivate with someone other than you. Otherwise, she will die a horrible death!]
'I see. So you are saying that I should bang this beautiful woman as much as I can and become stronger at the same time?' Leon's expression took a grim turn as he sighed heavily and spoke to the System once more.
'System... I LOVE YOU!! Thank you for telling me this! I would be saved from using that painful method to cultivate! Ohhhhhh! I can't wait any longer. System, go back to sleep. It's time for Your Grandpa to begin cultivating!' A confident and manly look came upon Leon, as the thought of becoming stronger while having sex maxed out his excitement.
It wasn't that there was no mention of Dual Cultivation in his previous world. But it was severely looked down upon ad was considered as the path of Cowards and Sinners.
In this world though, he held no such reservations, as the prospect of having sex and becoming stronger thrilled his spirits.
[Ohh~~... just don't break your penis, alright? Not jinxing you at all~~]
'Fuck you, you stupid System! Shoo, go away..' Leon cursed the System in his mind as his gaze returned back to the two sisters.
The System's notifications ended, as a happy expression came upon Leon's face.
The two sisters looked at him in confusion, as the woman wondered just how this man was going to help her recover at all.
