Chapter 30: Jealous Nana
After they were done settling in, Lira prepared to leave for the academy’s servant quarters. Before she left, Lucas took a moment to give her a few cultivation pointers, making sure she understood how to stabilize her newfound strength.
"You’re improving fast," he said, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face.
Lira smiled shyly. "Only because Master is guiding me."

"I know," she said, nodding.

She bowed slightly and hurried out of the room, but not before glancing back one last time with a warm, almost dreamy look on her face.
Lucas watched her go, shaking his head with a smirk before settling down to cultivate. He closed his eyes, steadying his breathing, ready to absorb the Qi around him—

"You expect me to believe that? She’s way out of your league," Cassian teased.
"Nah, you don’t get it. Some girls love a guy with experience. And I gave her the best night of her life."
