Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

The silent garden became increasingly ambiguous. Su Li’s kisses traveled down her long, warm neck, lingering at her fair collarbone. Suna tilted her head, unable to suppress the cat-like whimpers as her body trembled slightly, her sword-wielding fingers tightly gripping the fabric behind Su Li’s back, knuckles turning white. The knight’s determination seemed to be waning in the face of a more primal instinct.

"Cousin... not here..." she gasped, her voice heavy with nasal tone and a hint of pleading.

Su Li chuckled softly, lifting her into his arms. Suna cried out in surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck. She wasn’t light, but Su Li’s strength made carrying her seem effortless. Holding her, he strode towards his manor’s main building deep within the estate.

The bedroom door opened and closed, moonlight streaming through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the wide, carved wooden bed.

Su Li gently placed Suna on the soft bedding. She sank into the soft fabric, her round face blushing almost blood-red, her bright eyes misty with nervousness, shyness, and unabashed anticipation as she fixed her gaze on Su Li. The knight’s courage kept her from looking away.

Everything that followed seemed to unfold naturally.

Clothing slipped away piece by piece in eager yet somewhat awkward movements, revealing Suna’s visually striking form—her white, delicate skin akin to fine mutton fat jade, her curves plentiful and full, her waist not thin but firm and strong, with smooth muscle lines formed from years of training, brimming with healthy and vigorous life energy.

As a female knight, her full-bodied figure exuded elasticity and a sense of power, like a flower blooming in a storm, teeming with vitality.

When passion subsided, Suna curled up like a satisfied cat, on Su Li’s broad chest, her fair plump body faintly blushing.

Su Li, holding her alluringly rounded body, asked with a smile, "So, little doctor, did you physically and thoroughly experience my body’s condition? Any suggestions?"

Suna’s fair, curvy body was radiating a charming flush, her chest heaving intensely. She too practiced the Candle-Biting Breathing Technique, making her breaths particularly long—this was the first time Su Li trained with a knight who practiced the same breath technique and shared his bloodline, making the experience exceptionally engaging and enjoyable.

Using the breathing technique to forcibly adjust her breath, Suna felt slightly more settled. Her mind calmed somewhat from the cloud-like state before speaking to Su Li, "Cousin..."

Su Li immediately interrupted her, "Don’t call me cousin anymore; we’re beyond the fifth relation now. Though according to the Empire’s secular law and Church law, we could marry after the third relation. But calling me cousin feels strange to me."

Suna, however, was very insistent, her attitude even somewhat stubborn, "But I just like this title. It feels uniquely my own, making us closer than just kin, something other women can’t compare to."

Indeed, women, once they’ve had relations, can’t help but be jealous?

Though this was their third time, she was already contemplating how she compared to other women.

Su Li couldn’t do anything but indulge her. Pillow talk was effective; when practice is harmonious and satisfaction is mutual, one’s mood becomes very pleasant, hardly refusing requests at these times.

Left with no choice, Su Li said, "Then I’ll let you have your way; please continue."

A satisfied smile appeared on Suna’s rounded cheeks as she kissed Su Li’s cheek, then continued, "Earlier, I personally experienced it—cousin, have you taken any spirit medicine to increase life energy?"

"Spirit medicine to increase life energy? You mean the Holy Purple Vine Tree?" Su Li was slightly startled and then pointed through the room’s floor-to-ceiling window out to the breathtaking scenery. Outside, the large Holy Purple Vine Tree was in its most splendid mature season. Countless clusters of purple vine flowers hung like dreamy waterfalls, nearly covering half the sky, flowing with sacred light in rich purple, breathtakingly beautiful. Underneath the flourishing blossoms, bunches of full pods shimmering with warm jade light hung heavily on the branches, like congealed purple gemstones.

Su Li’s tone bore a hint of a territory lord’s pride: "The pods of the Holy Purple Vine Tree could be considered one of the most important financial pillars of Hesse Territory this year. Since it was sensationally awarded at the Fiery Sun Goddess’s festival to extend mortals’ lives, orders poured in like snowflakes. Whether within Hesse Territory among knight clans, wealthy merchants, landlords, or outside lords, major Knight Orders, even those dwarf elders who treat money like dirt, are all scrambling to purchase these extraordinary fruits."

Suna’s gaze also fell on the tree outside exuding abundant life energy and divine light, her bright eyes sparkling with material fascination. But shortly, her brows slightly furrowed, showing both realization and a complex expression of concern.

"Indeed... the problem lies here!" Suna withdrew her gaze, turning to Su Li with an unusually serious expression, "Cousin, the life energy contained in the Holy Purple Vine Tree pods is essentially inclined not to pure ’nurture’ or ’vividness,’ but rather towards ’extension’ and ’solidification’!"

She organized her words, attempting to explain in a way Su Li could understand, "Simply put, ordinary life energy-enhancing objects, like Dragon Blood Stone, boost your ’life source’s’ vigor and output, making you more energetic, recover faster, even indirectly enhance certain abilities. While the effect of the Holy Purple Vine Tree pods is to apply your life essence to the dimension of ’longevity’—it’s forcibly stretching the length and resilience of your life’s ’thread’!"
