Chapter 650 - Aria's Surprising Suggestion

"Let's go again. I can take a few more rounds. This technique is worth researching. If you can realize it, you would have accomplished something even the gods and devils of old could not."

As Duna spoke, she failed to muster the strength to get up from Leon's bare chest and stubbornly continued to try.

"No, your mental strength has already been depleted. Any more, and your soul will be harmed instead." Leon shook his head and rejected her.

As much as he wanted to continue, the pleasure was simply not worth the suffering the consequences.

"Tch!" Duna clicked her tongue and spat with narrowed eyes, "You drained my mental strength on purpose, so you can go play with your other two flowers, huh?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Leon responded with a smile before suddenly changing the topic with a solemn look, "How is Lumi? It's been some time since she last came out. I am beginning to worry that something is wrong."

Lumi used to be the more dominant persona between the two. It was not right for her to have disappeared for so long.

Leon could not help but feel something was amiss.

At the same time, Duna's eyelashes trembled with a slight change in expression before she spat with a frown, "Why? Sick of me already?"

"C'mon. You know that's not what I meant," Leon responded with a frown of his own before he asked with knitted brows, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"Nothing will happen to Lumi. After all, she is the host, and I am the freeloader. She is just sleeping to make up time for me, who did not have much chance to come out in the past 400 years," Duna said before stating coolly, "You worry too much."

Leon frowned again.

Nevertheless, he eventually sighed and nodded, "Perhaps, I am worrying too much."

"If there's a problem, you'll tell me, right?" Leon gazed at Duna seriously before he said, "There's nothing we can't solve together."

"Yeah, yeah." Duna uttered nonchalantly and waved him off, "If you're done here, then get lost to go play with your other two little flowers already. I'm tired and want to rest."

"Fine, but remember my words," Leon reminded.

His spiritual avatar eventually dispersed from the spiritual world and returned to his main body outside before he tucked Duna into bed and left.

…

Inside Aria's bedroom, she waited and waited, but Leon never came.

She thought she was quite a patient person, but knowing who Leon went to visit first, she lost her patience quickly despite only waiting less than ten minutes.

Just when she was about to stop thinking about it and just cultivate, the bedroom doors suddenly burst open before Leon barge into the room and locked the doors behind him shortly after.

"Aria, I've come for you. We finally have some time for ourselves. I hope you are prepared—"

Leon was full of smiles before he suddenly paused upon seeing her expression and exclaimed, "Oh, what do we have here? Could someone be jealous right now?"

"Who are you trying to say is being jeal—"

Aria did not get to finish her words before her lips were sealed by Leon's wolfish lips, causing only her muffled cry to be heard, following moans and a pinkish atmosphere painting the room shortly after.

The battle in bed quickly ended within five minutes before the battle of will began shortly after Leon injected himself inside Aria's spiritual world.

Half an hour quickly passed before an exhausted Aria collapsed on top of Leon's chest, her forehead filled with sweats in a similar fashion to Duna after having her mental strength.

"Was I always this tired?" Aria asked herself with puzzlement before apologizing with self-blame, "Sorry, hubby. We finally have time together, but I did not notice my mental energy was this low…"

"Don't be." Leon shook his head and said wryly, "I am actually to blame for your loss of mental strength. I am practicing a self-created dual cultivation soul technique that is still imperfect and requiring adjustment and improvement."

"Your mental strength was drained as a result of me practicing it to replenish my own mental strength, though it is not the core intent behind the technique," Leon explained.

"So, it was like that…" Aria was enlightened before she quickly knitted her brows and said, "But with my current state, I will not be able to assist in the battle later—should a fight break out."

"You won't need to, but thank you," Leon gave Aria a warm kiss on the forehead before he shook his head and said, "As long as I recover my mental strength, I have a certain level of confidence in resolving the threat even if an Early-rank Battle King were to intervene."

"How strong is an Early-rank Battle King?" Aria frowned with worry before asking, "It is comparable to Paragon?"

"No, it's not." Leon shook his head and said, "The Body Cultivation System here is a bit inferior and imperfect. An Early-rank Battle King's strength is only estimated to be around 5-million jin, which is only comparable to a Half-step Paragon at most."

"A Half-step Paragon is not someone easy to deal with either…" Aria was full of worries before mentioning, "Remember how dangerous the situation was when we faced the bloodline-awakening Three-Legged Golden Crow?"

"Relax, I have grown much stronger since that time. The situation will not become desperate like that time—provided that I recover enough mental strength to use my trump cards," Leon assured.

Nevertheless, Aria was not at ease and asked, "How much mental strength have your recovered?"

"After absorbing Darlene's mental strength, I should be around three-quarters," Leon answered after a short pause before he added, "However, three-quarters of my mental strength should be more than enough to use my trump cards freely for a while."

Aria frowned.

"What if you also absorb the mental strength from those six maids as well?" she inquired.

Leon was quickly stunned as his eyes slowly widened with surprise to hear such a suggestion coming from her.

"Have you forgotten that this is a dual cultivation technique? So even if it's just done in the spiritual world—No, it should be said that precisely because it is done in the spiritual world that it is the highest level of intimate interaction."

"Are you really letting your husband commit spiritual intimacy with six other women?" Leon asked with doubt and slight amusement.
