A Demon's Journey

For the next couple of days, Yrellea investigated that Real Estate Agent. Yrellea had to personally tail her since there was a shortage of people who could conceal their Ardor perfectly and follow someone.

Azaroth could accomplish this task, but he was busy with other things. Such tasks were best left for Yrellea to handle.

Azaroth had gone to gather this last batch of herbs from the King. When he checked out these herbs, he was slightly surprised as he found Dragon Fruit among them.

The Dragon Fruit was a valuable resource. Whether it was for an individual warrior or an alchemist.

If the Dragon Fruit was added to the pellet-making process, the resulting pellets would be one tier higher than the Alchemist's expertise.

This one-tier wasn't to be underestimated.

After all, it might not seem much for the 3 Star Pellets or 4 Star Pellets. But when it reached the 5 Star Pellets, this one tier would make the difference between breaking through to the next realm.

There was also the matter of impurities remaining in the warriors' bodies. These impurities wouldn't affect that warrior in the short term.

But when the warrior was advancing to the next realm, these impurities would become the reason for his failure.

His body and Ardor won't be pure. And it would take him a long time to purge this filth from his body.

There were some impurities that would even act as a hidden poison and harm the foundation of the cultivator.

As a result, the Dragon Fruit may be regarded as a valuable herb. The King had given this to Azaroth in order for him to feel thankful and believe that the King was generous with his subordinates.

In fact, he wanted his subordinates to know that he was extremely generous when it came to rewarding them. This one deed would considerably enhance his reputation. At the very least, his subordinates would work even harder to earn such incentives.

And for all this, the King had merely given away a single Dragon Fruit. He had dozens of those in his Herbal Garden. Azaroth could only use it a single time. That's what he believed.

The man had no idea that Azaroth's purpose for asking for these herbs wasn't to use them immediately but to start growing them in the private land he owned. Azaroth treated the entire Origin Sect Branch's land as his own.

Eventually, he was going to have this branch split up from the main sect. The Sect would officially be under him at that time.

Until then, it was best to take advantage of this location.

He was growing these herbs using the Wood Abilities he possessed now. It allowed him to get used to controlling the Wood Element and also faintly sense Nature Energy.

This was the same Nature Energy that Laura utilized in her attacks.

However, Azaroth realized that Laura was only infusing a tiny bit of Nature's Energy within her attacks. Her combat power would sharply rise if he learned to infuse more of her Nature's Energy within her attacks.

But he wasn't in any hurry about informing Laura. In fact, informing her would be a bad decision. He had to demonstrate this to her and make her realize it on her own.

Once she succeeds, it would boost her confidence and ability. Azaroth could give a few pointers at that time.

For all this to occur, Azaroth first had to gain control over Nature's Energy as well.

He felt that if he could gain control over this energy, his combat power would also sharply rise.

During this moment, the King received Azaroth's message that this was the last transaction between them.

King Tryfon was rather cautious regarding his subordinates. He kept an eye on almost all his subordinates who knew more than they should, including the Prime Minister.

In reality, Azaroth had calculated it through some vague guesses. He knew how large the Glerian Kingdom was and what its annual income and expenditure could be. He had also read a bit of the Glerian Kingdom's history and knew that it liked to continue a war-like situation until the Glerian Kingdom was left with just 10% of its resources.

After that, he just had to estimate when the King would feel confident that his resources could pile up on their own without further assistance.

The number he computed was the same as the amount that satisfied the King.

Azaroth then began to focus on the situation in the Sinyalian Kingdom. While he had basically become a farmer and cultivator, some interesting events occurred in the Sinyalian Kingdom.

~~

Bianca had invited her elder cousin Piero to the capital city of the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Upon receiving this invitation, Piero had come rushing to Mesenana City. After coming to Mesenana City, he met up with his 'dear' brother-in-law first, Spencer Russel.

Spencer was delighted to see Piero. It had been quite some time since the two had met. Piero would have some political discussions with Spencer, and his analysis and guesses were something that always amazed Spencer.

Spencer naturally had no idea that the hardships he experienced during his youth were mostly Piero's work. If he knew, he wouldn't be greeting him with a smile while inviting him inside his house.

Bianca also arrived in the Hall. Contrary to her normal appearance when she was in front of guests, she wore rather tight-fitting and short clothing.

That clothing surprised Spencer a bit, but he didn't mind it much. His wife was free to wear whatever she wanted. He wasn't going to nitpick her about such small things.

Maybe Bianca was just feeling like having a date with him today. Piero's arrival must have shocked her as well.

He was quite wrong about it since it was Bianca who invited Piero. She was perfectly aware that he would be here today and had purposely worn this clothing to entice the greed and lust within Piero's mind.

If these emotions took over his mind, he wouldn't think clearly about the tasks she would assign him.

If required, she could also go a step deeper and trap him completely. She had already prepared everything.

Piero's eyes widened when he saw his cousin in this clothing. It had been a couple of years since he last saw her.

Moreover, she was wearing a rather conservative dress and a veil. Thus, he wasn't able to get a good look at her, and she had become even prettier at this time.

But here, Bianca stood in those tight-fitting clothes that placed great emphasis on her curvy and sexy body. Piero immediately felt his rod stand up, but he clenched his fists and suppressed that desire.

He didn't want to make Spencer suspicious of him.

Spencer didn't notice this tiny detail. He continued to talk about some random topics before switching to politics.

Bianca suddenly stood up as the two began to talk about politics. She spoke up, "I will get some tea for you two."

"Cousin, I remember you used to love Oolong tea. Is your taste still the same, or do you prefer some other tea?" She asked with a smile.

Piero was excited to know that Bianca remembered his favorite tea. But slowly reigned that excitement as he felt that Bianca was probably just being polite to him. The two were cousins who hadn't seen each other for the last few years.

His eyes followed Bianca's voluptuous figure as she walked towards the kitchen. Her ass was making perfect up and down motion, which stirred his lust greatly. He wanted to grab those flesh mounds and squeeze them all day and night.

Spencer was reading the newspaper at this moment, so he didn't notice Piero's abnormal expression. He had no idea that his wife was seductively walking right behind him.

Suddenly, something surprising occurred that utterly shocked Piero.

Bianca turned around and looked into Piero's eyes.. She placed her right hand on her rosy lips and sent a flying kiss towards him.
