Chapter 17: Massaging Lira (R-18)
Feeling the rich Yin energy radiating from Lira, Lucas knew that he would need it eventually. Her energy was strong... pure. Just what he needed to advance his dual cultivation. But he didn’t want to rush things.
Instead, he leaned back comfortably in the bath, watching her closely.
"Lira," he said suddenly, his voice calm but firm. "Do you need some relaxation?"
Lira, who had been carefully scrubbing her arms with a soft sponge, froze for a moment. She turned her head slightly, blinking at him with confusion.
"My only desire is to serve you, my Lord," she answered, her voice soft but unwavering.
Lucas sighed, amused by her constant politeness and unwavering loyalty. "I already told you... you’re not my servant anymore. You’re my apprentice now."
Lira lowered her gaze, as if struggling to accept that idea. "Even as an apprentice... I will still serve you, my Lord."
Lucas shook his head with a small smirk. She’s stubborn in her loyalty. Admirable, but unnecessary. He decided not to argue with her further. Instead, he stood up from the bath, water dripping down his toned body as he stepped onto the smooth floor. He walked to the side of the chamber, covered his body with a robe and grabbed a thick, soft blanket, and spread it across the warm floor.
Lira watched him with curiosity and admiration. What was he doing?
He would have preferred a table for what he was about to do, but this would have to do for now. After smoothing out the fabric and placing a pillow at one end, he turned to her.
"Come over here, Lira. Lie down on the blanket," he instructed.
