"I''m the one taking advantage of you, not the other way around."


    ire''s hands stopped, only to then move to grab a hold of my head. She then pried my face up, looking down right into my eyes.


    Her hips twitched, making my erection shift just a little bit closer to the same position it was in back when she first straddled me back at my ce.


    "You have no idea just how far you are going to go. All the things we offer you are…" ire suddenly bit down on her lip again.


    This time, however, she did so with a slightly pained expression.


    "They are all meaningless in the long run. Knowing how things go, it won''t be long before you… outgrow everything that we can offer. But…"


    I squinted my eyes when I saw theplex expression suddenly taking over ire''s face.


    It was as if she was… holding something back?


    "But my father will never let you go. And the worst part about it all," ire''s face suddenly twisted as if she was about to cry out, "I''m just a tool to bind you down to him!"


    ire never raised her voice. It was the intensity of it that made her statement so heavy.


    At this point, I could only sigh.


    "Listen, in a scenario where I take all you just said for a perfect prophecy or equally as perfect estimation…" I shook my head before blinking my eyes and looking right back into ire''s tense… if not desperate eyes.


    "Then I should be damned if I ever changed so much yourpany would be displeasing."


    The moment I said that… I''ve realized just how much I fumbled.


    ''What is this, a shounen manga?''


    Despite being in the middle of my twenties, I was still capable of spouting such lines?


    "I mean, just look at you…" I moved my hands again to grab ire by her waist before pushing her off my chest a bit. "If I''ve ever met a bastard with a girlfriend like you being ungrateful…" I shook my head, somehow struggling to find simple and straightforward words to exin my own feelings. "You are a bombshell, you know it? And while I admit, I ended up blindsided by your earlier looks…"


    I pursed my lips as I, once again, looked for proper and simple words to express myself.


    "Ahh…" I shook my head. "Assuming you are right and my prospective future leads me far away from the point where I am at…" I shook my head again, this time along with an exasperated sigh. Then, I took a proper breath while replicating ire''s idea and gently taking hold of her head all to direct her face up and look down at her beautiful, brown eyes.


    "I refuse to ept the idea of ever-growing into some kind of scumbag who would be dissatisfied with such a beauty like yourself."


    ire tensed up a little… but didn''t avert her eyes. Her pupils appeared to be… spinning as if to hypnotize me.


    "Or, to be even more direct," I put on a small, cheeky smile, my head full of nothing but desire to tease her back a little, "If you are the prize, then honestly," I spoke… only to suddenly push my hands to the back of ire''s waist and pulled her close, mming her bosom against my chest as I embraced her tightly and leaned over her ear, "then honestly, I don''t really mind living in the cage your father builds."


    This time, ire didn''t tense up… but froze on the spot. Then, her body trembled as if a thrill went up her spine, only making her squirm more right on top of myp.


    "Like I said," ire once again used her hands to conquer and grab a hold of my head, "I don''t really mind this arrangement either. With that said, though…"


    To say that my expectations didn''t rise as my moral barriers fell down one by one would be an outright lie. Still, when ire suddenly caught my face again and rose up on her hips just a tiny little bit…


    I obviously didn''t expect her to pull me up, only to slide down behind me as she once again pressed herself against my back while wrapping her soft, warm flesh around my hips and above my shoulders.


    "With that said, we really shouldn''t waste the time on just talking. We can talk perfectly fine while I''m holding the burden rather than the effigy," she exined… quite a reasonable point.


    "So we are in the green now?" I asked, just to make sure, while ignoring the throbbing of my erection so suddenly deprived of the warm embrace of ire''s meaty upper thighs.


    "Yeah, it switches off by itself when I drive my cultivation. And if we are really going to use it, then we should properly prepare to make the most out of it, right?"


    Even though I could see ire''s face no more, somehow, I could tell that she disyed a yful smile.


    We knew each other for only a few days… But went through quite a lot in this limited frame of time.


    "Actually, let me exin," ire then quickly spoke again. "For us to make the most out of the trick, we need to both get as close to the edge as we can. So, while it might seem freaky at times, it''s all just a scientifically proven method, alright?"


    ire shifted ufortably as she started her preamble.


    "Ugh, I guess I''m alright?" I replied, not really sure what she had in mind.


    A trick?


    Did she mean how there was a way to hasten the process of fighting back this drug I was injected with?


    "Good," ire''s voice brightened up so much she simply had to be smiling. "Just for you to know," she then added as she leaned over my shoulder to bring her lips closer to my ear, while simultaneously pushing her left arm to single-handedlyplete the circle over my neck, "If we do it, you will never be able to share all those benefits with anyone else."


    Somehow, ire''s voice changed yet again, turning into some kind of foreboding warning?


    "Do what?" I inquired, trying to get a better picture of the situation…


    Only for ire''s free hand to once again press against my chest, only for her fingers to instantly start tapping against my muscles, bringing her hand further and further down with each tap…


    "Isn''t this obvious…?" ire asked, leaning her head far enough to me to catch a glimpse of her mischievous smile.


    Her hand conquered thest inch again, grasping at the base of my dick… but in a much different, gentler… sensual way whenpared to how she did it before.


    "I''m talking about dual cultivation."
