"The cabinet is really too dark. Could you help me hold the candelabra?" the beautiful lady asked in a delicate voice.
Rein glanced at the beautiful scene before him and swallowed.
However...he still suppressed the throbbing in his heart, reached for the nearby M-shaped candelabra, and stood behind the beautiful lady to help her illuminate the area.
Under the flickering candlelight, Baroness Crowley, already flushed from drinking Bordeaux vintage, appeared even more exquisitely beautiful, like a blooming flower.
This almost made Rein lose his composure!
Seeing that Rein did not approach but obediently helped hold the candelabra to lighten the area, the lady sighed silently in her heart.
Alas! It seems it could only be this way.
Suddenly, whether intentional or accidental, the lady leaned back slightly.
Instantly, a warm and exceptionally soft touch pressed against Rein.
This caused Rein's hand holding the candelabra to tremble slightly.
A drop of burning wax fell onto the fair neck of the beautiful lady.
"Ah~" the beautiful lady couldn't help but exclaim softly.
Could this young man actually have such a preference? the beautiful lady wondered to herself.
But the lady's cry was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, as Rein had already been struggling to endure.
At that moment, the thought that sprang to Rein's mind was, 'To endure what can be endured is intolerable!'
Therefore, a strong hand gently grasped the lady's slender waist, while the other hand set down the M-shaped candelabra and lifted up.....
(Ten thousand words omitted here....)
In the mansion's back garden
The next morning, Rein looked at the beautiful lady beside him, who was still in a deep, sweet sleep.
Even from her expression at the moment, she still radiated immense pleasure and satisfaction.
Rein recalled the reason he hadn't resisted the temptation last night.
On one hand, it might have been due to Baroness Crowley's beautiful face and her exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio, and...last night, she was simply too tempting.
On the other hand, it was due to Rein himself.
Ever since he had had a profound interaction with the wild girl Lagaray some time ago, thoughts of this nature seemed to emerge in his mind from time to time.
Especially as his limit value continued to increase, this feeling grew increasingly strong!
Thinking of last night, a slight smile appeared on Rein's lips.
Although Baroness Crowley was merely a mortal,
It seemed to be because of the winter morning sun, which streamed through the gaps in the curtains into the bedroom, and her long eyelashes slightly quivered. The next second, she opened her beautiful eyes.
The beautiful lady looked deeply at the strong young man before her, and a surge of shyness and a hint of fear arose in her heart.
Although she knew Rein, being a Transcendent Knight, likely had extraordinary stamina, she never expected it to be so astonishing, almost tireless...
Looking into the beautiful lady's deep and shy gaze, Rein immediately reached out and pulled her into his embrace, his fingers gently caressing her porcelain-like smooth skin.
Rein clearly understood Baroness Crowley's intention in taking the initiative last night.
But some things are better left unspoken.
To put it bluntly, it would seem like a transaction.
Moreover, Rein had just thought of something: although he now had the favor of this beautiful lady, there were quite a few others coveting her.
Only when one's own strength is sufficiently powerful is it most important, as it allows one to protect the people and things before them.
As for the pleasures between men and women, they are merely diversions in cultivation, but one must never indulge in them.
Suddenly, Rein remembered something.
That is, whether it was Level 1 Wizard Apprentice Endri or Level 3 Wizard Apprentice Adams, both had left records of their romantic experiences in their diaries, and it seemed he, a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, was following in his predecessors' footsteps!
They were thieves; he certainly was not, since Baroness Crowley was a widow.
Furthermore, Rein finally learned Baroness Crowley's name—it was Jennifer Cecil.
Having been born into a middle-class merchant family, after marrying Baron Crowley, Jennifer Cecil took over the management of the Crowley family's businesses and expanded them several fold within years.
This made Rein understand why she excelled in business and management.
Suddenly, Rein thought of something and asked with a smile:
"So...Jennifer, is there really a book on Armor Casting Technique?" Rein couldn't help but ask.
This caught the beautiful lady off guard, and she quickly understood Rein's implication, immediately giving Rein a big eye roll, her cheeks flushing.
She thought he believed she had been planning to seduce him all along!
"Of course there is, it's in the cabinet," the beautiful lady said coquettishly.
So there really was one!
Upon hearing this, Rein rose and indeed, there were two rolled-up sheepskin scrolls in the cabinet, not at the bottom but at the top.
Rein had thought it was all an act by Jennifer and Jenny the entire time, but it seems it wasn't.
At most, it was just playing the final step!
Additionally, the sheepskin scrolls were rather large, seeming to be whole sheepskins trimmed and prepared after processing.
Just as Rein was about to open one to take a look, the bedroom door suddenly made a sound.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Mother, are you awake?"
Jennifer also appeared visibly startled upon hearing Jenny's voice.
Although she had discussed this with her daughter Jenny beforehand, having her daughter suddenly appear at the door still made the beautiful lady slightly nervous.
