Chapter 530: Carnal Indulgence (1/2)
GDK 530: Carnal Indulgence
The people of the Abyss Realm had rather different body structures from the people of Profound Continent. Their bones were denser, and their meridians were firm and tenacious. Paired with their tough bodies, it was no surprise that they could absorb and fuse raw elemental energy into their bodies.
Han Shuo stood behind Jasper and unfolded his consciousness. He then extended his left hand and gently placed it on Jasper’s pale left shoulder. Like cobwebs, a few wisps of demonic yuan entered Jasper’s body. Led by Han Shuo’s consciousness, they slowly made a full circulation through Jasper’s body. He immediately spotted some of the differences between Jasper’s body and his own people’s.
While doing so, Han Shuo carefully observed the way Jasper’s body gathered and made use of the wind element. He witnessed cyclones growing in her body. The wind element around them was drawn into the cyclones revolving in a mysterious pattern. After passing through the cyclones, the wind element was deposited bit by bit into the meridians and bones.
This was similar to Elizabeth’s unique body in its ability to absorb a certain divine energy. Han Shuo was amazed just thinking about Elizabeth. Back on Profound Continent, Elizabeth’s unique Body of Divine Favor could absorb divine energy from followers of the two major religions – the Church of Light and the Shrine of Ice. This ability contradicted all common sense as Han Shuo knew it.
Based on the information left behind in the skeletal staff by the midgod, Han Shuo learned that gods could not assimilate energy from other gods cultivating in different energy. Yet, Elizabeth was obviously an exception. The cyclones in Elizabeth’s body were rather similar to Jasper’s, but she could absorb both the divine energies that the gods of Light and Ice bestowed upon their believers. This was very strange indeed.
Han Shuo thought about it for a moment before coming to a speedy enlightenment. He reckoned that the ‘divine energy’ that Elizabeth could absorb from the followers of the Shrine of Ice and the Church of Light wasn’t actually divine. Divine energy was core and essential to all gods. They gained it through their own cultivation and the power of faith that came from their believers. Hence, it did not make sense at all to grant their followers their hard-earned divine energy.
Having thought of it this way, Han Shuo felt that even though Elizabeth’s body was peculiar, it was not peculiar to the point of speechlessness. He then continued to carefully observe the cyclones in Jasper’s body and quietly wondered how those cyclones were formed.
“Han Shuo, are you in there Han Shuo?” Han Shuo was jolted out of his contemplation by the cries outside. Han Shuo could tell that it was the two young girls, Hemana and Sylph.
Withdrawing his left hand from Jasper’s shoulder, Han Shuo raised his head and answered, “I’m here.” He then said to Jasper, like a marble carving immersed in meditation, “Mental strength cannot be gained overnight. You can try to meditate according to the method I taught you. After some time, when your soul’s ability to sense the wind element strengthens, you will naturally be able to sense the presence of that mental strength.”
“Thank you so much, Mister Han Shuo,” Jasper smiled sweetly, stood up from her crossed-legged position and said. “After meditating like this for only a little while, it seems that my soul is already closer to the wind element. Your training method is miraculous! I’ve not heard of such methods before this. Mister Han Shuo is truly a magical person.”
Upon hearing this from Jasper, Han Shuo could not help but carefully tap into Jasper’s soul with his consciousness. He noticed that her soul had become lighter and more fluid.
He could not help but feel shocked, and thought to himself, the people of the Abyss realm have an outstanding ability to sense elemental energy. With proper guidance, their soul’s affinity to elemental energy could grow exponentially. At this rate, it won’t take long before Jasper senses the presence of mental strength through meditation.
“Uh, Miss Jasper, why are you here?” Hemanna asked in an awkward tone, clearly surprised as she walked in to find Jasper standing in front of the door and talking to Han Shuo.
“I was consulting Mister Han Shuo about a few things regarding martial arts,” Jasper answered flatly. She shot a glance at Hemanna and Sylph, who also entered with a peculiar expression in her deep eyes, before she thoughtfully said, “In Abyss Realm, the strong command respect. Men, if capable enough, can get any kind of women they want. To be following Mister Han Shuo, both of you are very fortunate indeed!”
Hemanna and Sylph knew not what to make of this, seemingly wanting to reply. But after stammering for a while, they did not utter a word but stared blankly at Jasper.
“Alright, Mister Han Shuo. I shall not bother you any longer. When I can sense the presence of mental strength, I will return with more questions. Hehe, both Hemanna and Sylph are well-known in War Demon Valley for their beauty. Enjoy them well,” Jasper teasingly winked at Han Shuo and left with a faint smile before he could even reply.
Han Shuo was rather startled. He never expected that Jasper, a beauty of such elegance, would teasingly use the word ‘enjoy’ in that context. It appeared that the Abyss realm was indeed very different from Profound Continent. Society here was obviously much less sensitive to some matters which would be awkward and embarrassing back on Profound Continent.
“Han Shuo, she has taken a fancy to you,” Sylph, the purple-eyed lady said sourly after Jasper had long vanished out of sight but Han Shuo’s startled expression still stuck on his face.
“You’re kidding, right? That can’t be. She only came over to ask questions about martial arts. It’s not what you imagined,” Han Shuo laughed involuntarily and shook his head, disagreeing with Sylph’s conjecture. After a short pause, he continued, “Have Qunoa told you both everything?”
“Yep, from today onwards, we no longer need to fight for the post of sergeant major. Lord Qunoa has just told us that the two of us belong to you. I heard that it was an order directly issued by Lord Crosius himself. Han Shuo, I see you have friends in high places!” Hemanna said smilingly at Han Shuo, not in the least offended by Crosius giving them away to Han Shuo like commodities. Somehow, they were even secretly delighted. This left Han Shuo rather confused.
“Han Shuo, Jasper must have fallen for you! Each and every one of the six Rakshas of War Demon Valley is several times older than her, and a few have even taught Jasper martial arts since her childhood. Therefore, she definitely wouldn’t adore any of the six Rakshas. But you are different. You are not just extremely miraculous, but sufficiently powerful. In addition to that distinct but indescribable trait, it would be a matter of course that she would fall in love with you at first sight,” Sylph was still thinking about Jasper, and stubbornly explained.
“There’s no room to doubt that. We adore and revere the strong. Jasper’s assistance during your battle with Brakyah indicated that she has feelings for you. Then, right after she learned that you are staying in War Demon Valley, she immediately came to consult you about martial arts. This has amply indicated her feelings for you,” Hemanna opined after hearing Sylph’s.
After listening to the two ladies and recalling some unusual events he encountered in the Abyss realm, Han Shuo became of the same mind with the two. When he thought of Jasper’s fair and tender skin, her beautiful white wings, and those deep, moving eyes, Han Shuo’s heart was stirred.
Han Shuo suddenly put on a mischievous smile and stared at Sylph and Hemanna. He said, “Since Crosius has offered the two of you to me as gifts, does that mean I can do with you whatever I please?”
Hemanna and Sylph exchanged a glance, and replied immoderately, “Of course!”
Han Shuo chuckled. He opened his arms and simultaneously lifted Hemanna and Sylph at their waists. As they let out their sweet gentle cries, in no time, they landed on the wide bed inside the room along with Han Shuo. Their limpid green and purple eyes revealed their amorous passion, with a submissive appearance as though to call their man to gorge them to his heart’s content.
