Prime Originator

While Leon took his time to respond, various thoughts ran through Nyfarella's head.

'I guess I was asking for too much, huh? My Lord is someone destined for greatness, to become an overlord reigning over all creations. On the other hand, I am just the leader of a weak clan before meeting the Lord,' Nyfarella bitterly thought.

The Lord took in the Dark Fae Clan and made them stronger.

They had been on the receiving end of the Lord's benevolence all this time while they had little to offer back beside our loyalty.

If she wanted to ask for more, she had to offer something back. But what else could she offer besides the loyalty she already pledged to the Lord?

While thinking about the beautiful women surrounding the Lord, Nyfarella's eyes suddenly flickered with an answer.

In the next moment, Nyfarella stood back up on her feet and undid the knot on her waist, loosening her black robe.

Eventually, the black robe dropped, stripping her naked in front of Leon.

"My Lord, I don't know if my race appeals to you, but I am pretty confident in being the most beautiful in my clan. If you wish for it, you can use my body to make yourself feel good, my Lord."

Nyfarella offered herself.

Despite mustering the courage to sell herself, Nyfarella still covered her supple twin peaks and averted her eyes with embarrassment.

It was the first time she revealed her bare body before a person of the opposite sex.

Nevertheless, Nyfarella did not lie about her beauty.

Except for the black-feathered wings that define her Dark Fae Clan, Nyfarella appeared no different from humans.

Her skin was fair and smooth without any blemish, contrary to the dark and rough environment she lived in; her body was simply in pristine shape.

Whatever scars and flaws that once threatened to diminish her beauty had long disappeared due to the repeated medicine baths she took during her body cultivation.

Although Leon was surprised by Nyfarella's sudden action, he did not avert his gaze. Instead, he studied her body boldly and had to admit that she was indeed beautiful.

However, he did not fall for temptation and lust.

After letting out a sigh, Leon picked up the black robe on the floor and draped it over Nyfarella's body, covering her body.

Nyfarella was stunned, but her eyes soon revealed her disappointment.

"Am I unappealing to you, my Lord?" Nyfarella asked despondently, feeling less confident in her beauty.

However, Leon shook his head and said, "Not at all. You are very beautiful."

"Then, why, my Lord…?" Nyfarella asked confusedly.

"I know what you want, but this isn't the way to achieve it. An exchange of interest weakens our relationship, which should be built on trust," Leon calmly said, albeit with a bit of regret in his heart.

No matter how Nyfarella's beauty arouses his lust, he had to remain steadfast in the matter.

Leon did not want to give in to his desire and let a moment of folly diminish the importance of those he already had in his heart.

"Don't look down on me. I can admire beauties, but I don't just do with anyone. At the very least, I don't see you as a romantic interest," Leon stated.

"If you want to follow me to the stars and beyond, you'll get your chance. When I tear the fabrics of space and leave this world cage, I will bring everyone with me. However, if you do this again, I will question your qualifications."

"I beg for your forgiveness, my Lord! It was not my intention to provoke your ire!" Nyfarella dropped to one knee and apologized solemnly.

"Get up," Leon pulled her up with a frown and said, "Just don't let it happen again."

"Yes, my Lord!" Nyfarella answered.

She felt quick relief after receiving the Lord's pardon.

Although Leon wanted to live an unfettered life, it doesn't mean he should do whatever he wanted without care or concern for other peoples' opinions.

Self-indulgence will make his mind weak; a strong mind requires self-discipline and staying true to his principles.

After letting Nyfarella redress her black robe and calm down, Leon transmitted the Dragon God Consolidating Viscera Method into her head.

"Now that you have learned both the Dragon God Consolidating Viscera Method and the Dark Fae God Canon, go and digest the knowledge properly. Once you're done with that, teach the Dragon God Consolidating Viscera Method to the other clan members."

"As for the Dark Fae God Canon, you should only teach it to a select few talented and trusted individuals. Letting everyone learn too many cultivation methods at once will obstruct their progress."

"Understood, my Lord!" Nyfarella complied.

After giving her Lord a grateful bow, she retreated from the hall and instructed a few servants to tend to Leon.

"I will have some servants show you the way to your room, my Lord," Nyfarella said before she left.

Leon nodded.

Sometime later, the servants arrived and brought Leon to his accommodation room in the stone palace.

The room was neither big nor small, clean nor dirty, just simple and oddly close to nature. There were was no extravagant furniture nor decorations, just a simple grass bed.

Given his status to the Dark Fae Clan, even if they don't give him the best room, they wouldn't dare give him a bad one.

From that, Leon speculated the other rooms were, more or less, the same.

After sweeping the area with his divine sense, he found his speculation to be true. Furthermore, Aria, Darlene, and Duna's rooms were all adjacent to his room.

A few breaths after retracting his divine sense, Leon suddenly saw Aria slip into the room and close the stone door behind her.

Her sneaky action made him raise an eyebrow with doubt.

"What are you doing?" Leon smiled amusedly.

"You were mentally exhausted since we left the ruin. S-so I figured you wouldn't be cultivating right now and could use some relaxation," Aria stated her intention while fidgeting shyly.

Having seen Nyfarella's bare body, Leon found it hard to reject Aria's advances. The pent-up energy eventually needs to be released.

"Don't just stand over there then," Leon smiled and gestured to Aria, "Come over here."

"Mm!" Aria nodded.
