The Legacy System

Despite knowing what had on the other side of the door in front of him, Eric still opened the door with great calm and cool as he entered inside to look for his 'tools'.

"What are you doing here!?"

Expectingly, or unexpecting the moment that he opened the door to the supposed tools garage, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice, asking him about the reason for his actions!

'Baaanngggg~!'

The moment that he heard that voice Eric jumped back like he had suddenly stepped on a time bomb, as he clashed on the door behind him, closing it in the process with a bang.

Immediately placing one hand in front of his eyes, he said in a startle,

"This… I am the new gardener that Madam Yan Meng hired. I had no idea this was the bathroom Madam, one of the servants guided me here telling me this was the garden's tools garage!

Please forgive me, Madam!"

The woman in front of him was certainly angry at first, but hearing his explanation and knowing what kind of guy he was after their previous encounter, she said in a rather calmer tone,

"Well, you have already seen that you have been fooled and this isn't the garden's tool garage, so what are you still doing here!?"

"I-I will leave immediately Madam! Sorry for the disturbance, it was certainly not my intention!"

"It doesn't really matter, it's not like I will melt if you took a look or two at me! Now leave this place fast!"

Eric had to accept that he wasn't expecting such a calm, cool, and collected reaction from Madam Yan Meng, who was actually having a relaxing bath at that moment.

He had to say, now that he had seen her full body without anything covering it, he could understand the reason why the two Families' Masters would actually have such a fight for her.

She truly looked like a demoness of lust with that body of hers, able to enchant and seduce all the poor souls that came in contact with her.

Even Eric couldn't help but think of the possibility of having her under him, it would certainly be a moment to remember. She was quite the catch.

Her cold, calm, and cool appearance made this moment even more special in its own way, as Eric couldn't help but wish to test her limits.

With those thoughts in his mind, he immediately started speaking as he returned to the door to leave the bathroom,

"Thank you very much for your leniency, Madam. You are truly an angel in human skin, a great woman indeed! But I can't just leave like that, so let me tell you this!

In order to repay you for the feast to my eyes, and for the generous and kind heart you have, I can tell you that the medicine you are taking isn't going to heal you, but instead, poison you even more!"

The moment he finished his words, he pressed on the handle and was about to open the door, when he heard the expected voice from behind,

"Wait! What did you say!?"

"Ah, sorry, really sorry Madam! I might have surpassed my boundaries by talking about the feast to my eyes, even if it's the steeled truth it's still a rude statement! I am really sorry!"

"I don't care about that, I want to hear about that last part!"

"Oh, you mean about the poison in your body and the wrong cure!?"

Even though Eric was keeping a conversation with her, he was still looking at the door, not turning his head the other way and looking at her. Still, he could tell very easily her thoughts at the moment.

What kind of person who was on the death bed wouldn't cling to the ray of hope in front of him. Even more so when he had suffered for a long, long time.

"Yes, about that! Tell me what do you know about it, and why!?"

"It's not that difficult to understand why! After all, you are taking an extremely hot bath right in the middle of summer, this certainly means that either your body is special, or there is a special circumstance.

Furthermore, there is a pungent smell of different minerals of the Yang element, especially the Fire Fruit.

Which you must have paid quite the amount to get your hands on, despite that being the main reason why your condition worsens!

Now that I think about it like this, it seems like you are expending a lot of money to make yourself suffer and die. Perhaps this is your suicide that I have nosed on!

It can't be right!? Such a beauty as yourself, with such an esteemed status, shouldn't be attempting suicide. It would be an injustice against the whole planet."

Madam Yan Meng couldn't help but look at Eric with shock at first, but the more he spoke the more she felt like her ears were about to bleed.

This guy was truly an incomprehensible human being, who was serious only about his lust and perverseness.

Still, this was the first time in a long time that she was hearing someone talk about her poisoning, especially about the fact that she was actually harming herself.

"How do you know about this, aren't you just a simple gardener, how can you tell that I am harming myself!?"

"Huh!? Is this the moment to think about that!? Anyway, let me tell you that is precisely because I am a gardener that I am able to tell that!

After all, the smell of that Yin Flame Flower from the poison residue in your body is already piercing my nose.

Even though the Yin Flame Flower is a yin-attributed herb, the fact remains that it is a flame, and the poison that is created from that Yin Flame Flower is of Yin Flame attribute.

If you had taken that Fire Fruit in the right proportion and with the right additional herbs then you would have been able to treat it, or at least keep your suffering in check.

But the problem is that either you have intentionally taken the wrong proportion, or the guy who wrote that recipe for you wrote the proportion mistakenly.

Either way, the Fire Fruit has continuously fought and nourished the Yin Flame poison, creating a balance with the poison and increasing the danger to your body!"

The moment that Madam Yan Meng heard these words she couldn't help but lose her sight for a moment, as she seemed to be thinking really hard about something.

At first, she seemed to negate the possibility of that thought, but the more she thought the more she seemed to change her opinion.

In a short time, her face had turned from that of a calm, cool, and collected Madam to that of a cold and angry Valkyrie that was about to hunt for blood.

"Whoaa~! It got so cold in here, most probably it's the second option! Well, it doesn't really matter to me, that is the Madam's business!

I said what I had to say, then I can only leave!"

With these words said in a low voice like he was talking to himself, Eric pressed again on the handle of the bathroom door, ready to leave.

"Stop! You don't expect to throw such a bomb and leave that door, do you!? Tell me do you know how to deal with this!?"

"Well… You are right, I certainly didn't expect that, and I also know of a good way to get rid of the poison in your body, but you don't expect me to heal you for free, do you!?"

"Tell me how much do you want!?"

"How much are you willing to pay!?"

"I will give you a blank cheque and you can write however much you wish, as long as you help me get rid of the poison!"

"I want Lu'er!"

"What!?"

"You heard me, you know what kind of guy I am, so this shouldn't be much of a surprise, right!?"

"Deal!"

"You don't even need the time to think about this!?"

"Lu'er is my servant, and she lives her life for my sake! Now that there is an opportunity to save me from my poison, I am sure that she would have no objection to my decision!"

"Heheheheh~! That's even better then! It's just that are you willing to accept my treatment!?"

Eric would have never thought that he would suddenly receive such a great opportunity, and he had no intention of losing out on it.

In fact, he was intending of making the most he could out of this opportunity, as a myriad of plans and ideas were formed in his head.

"Huh!? What do you mean!?"

His words certainly surprised Madam Yan Meng who couldn't help but feel that something unpleasant and distasteful for her was about to be said next. And it truly was said,

"Well, knowing what kind of man I am, you should certainly understand what kind of topics interest me and I am willing to learn about, right!?"

These words just catalyzed those feelings she previously had, as there was only a small chance of her next question's answer being something out of her thoughts.

Still, she couldn't give up even on that small possibility, as she asked for clarification,

"You mean!?"

At this question, Eric pretended to be trying his best to conceal his depraved thoughts, and ideas, even though it was extremely difficult to hide that disgusting grin on the corner of his mouth, as he said,

"Yes, the healing method that I know of involves intimate relationships between me, you, and Lu'er!"
