Chapter 447: Thank You Very Much
After experiencing Isabela's climax, Haruto no longer held back, releasing his life essence into her in one intense surge, successfully completing their second session of healing and cultivation.
"Celis, you may continue with your mission."
Haruto had no interest in being watched by others, even if that someone was a beautiful, long-legged blonde. Turning his head, he said, "If you have nothing else to attend to now, could you please step out? I need to continue cultivating with Ravel and the others."
"Oh, and remember to close the door on your way out. Thanks."
Without waiting for Celis's response, Haruto picked up Ravel, whose face was flushed crimson, and began the final round of their cultivation session.
Celis hesitated for a moment, her emerald-green eyes fixed intently on Haruto's tall, well-built frame. She bit her lower lip firmly.
She walked to the door, locked it from the inside, and then turned back to the bedside.
Haruto glanced at her in surprise but didn't stop his cultivation movements.
His fiery, rigid member skillfully delved into Ravel's moist garden, eliciting a series of unrestrained, breathy moans from the tsundere, sharp-tongued demon young lady.
Her long, snow-white legs instinctively wrapped around Haruto's waist, her body swaying rhythmically under his thrusts, yet the point of their union remained tightly connected.
After several dozen thrusts, Haruto noticed Celis was still watching and couldn't hold back his curiosity. "What are you planning to do? Didn't I already agree to let you continue your surveillance mission?"
As he spoke, Haruto lifted Ravel's soft, pale body beneath him, shifting into the lotus position to continue their cultivation.
This position allowed Haruto to converse with Celis more comfortably.
Though multitasking was nothing to him, maintaining a half-twisted posture during dual cultivation was genuinely inconvenient.
The change in posture allowed Haruto to penetrate even deeper into Ravel's garden with ease.
With each rise and fall, a small, rounded bulge visibly shifted on the girl's flat stomach.
The tsundere, sharp-tongued demon young lady was beyond caring at this point, letting Haruto handle her while he conversed with Celis, who stood mere steps away.
Amidst Ravel's adorable, seductive moans, Celis finally began to stammer out an explanation.
"Well... the mission has changed slightly. Although it's still surveillance, the higher-ups want me to monitor you..."
When the mission was assigned, Haruto had not yet broken through to the divine level.
Beyond monitoring Haruto, the upper echelons of the Hero Clan also hoped to uncover the secret behind his monstrous growth rate.
Everyone knew about Haruto's dual cultivation ability, but some refused to believe that his current strength was solely due to this skill.
Though the probability of extraordinary innate talent was small, throughout the long history of the Three Realms, there had been talents even more potent than Haruto's dual cultivation ability.
Yet, aside from innate deities, no one's power had risen as rapidly as Haruto's.
In truth, such speculation wasn't entirely wrong.
Haruto had always felt that the memories from his previous life were no less valuable than the benefits brought by his dual cultivation ability.
Even with changes in the worldline, as long as the relevant individuals remained—especially his 2D waifus—and coupled with his dual cultivation ability, his growth rate would never be slow.
Without memories of his past life, perhaps just days after his talent awakened—before he even entered the sights of Rias and the other girls—he might have been captured by others for experimentation.
Even if he hid well and remained unaware of the uniqueness of Rias and the others, he wouldn't have been able to achieve rapid initial accumulation—that is, swiftly obtaining powerful talents and skills.
One step slow, every step slow.
He wouldn't have been able to achieve such rapid growth.
Celis's words didn't surprise Haruto.
Back when Yuki and Kurumi were on missions, the Hero Clan had similar ideas.
"So…" Haruto gazed at the golden-haired Hero Clan beauty with flushed skin and restless long legs, lost in thought as he said, "You're going to follow me 24/7 from now on, without leaving my side?"
A pair of straight, shapely black-stockinged legs suddenly tensed. Celis struggled to control her emotions and nodded gently.
"Mhm… that… should be fine…"
"Well, I don't mind. Though it feels a bit strange to be watched, it's not unacceptable."
Of course, the prerequisite was that the observer was a charming and lovely beauty.
Adding this silently in his heart, Haruto continued, "But I want to know, what would you do if I refused?"
Haruto had already expressed agreement. At this point, all she needed to do was be vague or simply give up, and the matter would be over.
But the overly righteous Celis gave a response straight out of an adult video heroine.
The girl looked seriously at Haruto and said earnestly, "I'd find a way to make you agree, no matter the cost..."
There were too many points to criticize, and Haruto almost forgot to continue dual cultivating with Ravel.
Struggling to hold back, he couldn't resist asking, "What if I said you'd have to offer your purity for me to agree to the terms?"
Unexpectedly, Celis responded almost without hesitation this time, firmly stating, "If that's all it takes, I'm willing."
"I see you were already prepared for this, weren't you?"
The girl's overly swift and decisive reply allowed Haruto to see through her little scheme.
Celis didn't hide it either, admitting frankly, "Because it's not much of a loss for me, and based on my judgment, you were highly likely to make this request."
"I didn't expect you to agree unconditionally. It seems I misunderstood you before—you're actually a good person."
"…"
Haruto stared silently at the golden-haired Hero Clan beauty who was almost climbing onto the bed and said irritably, "Well, thank you."
Aside from occasionally playing around or dealing with hostile women, he had little interest in coercion scenarios.
Haruto truly hadn't intended to coerce Celis, but right now, he couldn't help feeling a bit irritated…
Glaring fiercely at Celis, he suppressed the urge to press her down on the bed and ravage her over and over. Instead, he tightened his embrace around the warm, soft figure in his arms and quickened his pace.
Feeling Haruto's movements, Ravel responded in kind.
She wrapped her arms around Haruto's neck, tightened her slender, snow-white legs, pressed her soft, pale breasts against his chest, and parted her rosy lips, seeking a kiss.
Gazing at the girl's adorable appearance, Haruto first lowered his head to kiss her blushing cheek before passionately capturing her pink, moist lips, savoring the smooth and fragrant softness of her small mouth.
Seeing that Haruto did not continue the topic, a feeling named disappointment suddenly emerged in her heart.
It wasn't that she truly didn't know how to answer Haruto's question—half of her response was rooted in her own convictions, while the other half stemmed from something else...
She knew what it was but refused to admit it.
Yet self-deception has its limits. As their movements intensified and the Dual cultivation reached its peak, Celis could no longer restrain the desires in her heart.
Before she knew it, she was almost kneeling on the bed, her beautiful emerald eyes fixed on the place where Haruto and Ravel were joined.
Her slender, pale fingers slipped beneath her miniskirt, following the rhythm of Haruto's movements as she rubbed herself through her tights and panties.
