582 Start of Dual Practice
Henrietta and Vaan's gaze met for a short moment before Henrietta found herself staring at Vaan's handsome absent-mindedly. A few moments later, her mind snapped back, and her heart palpitated nervously.
She immediately averted her gaze, blushing shyly.
"My master told me this contract spell was commonly used to signify the union of two people in the Divine Realm. This runic mark is a symbol of their promise to spend a lifetime together. It's not always used for marriage, but it is still commonly used for it among divine practitioners."
"Apparently, this contract spell was developed by a Divine Dominator, who had experienced the heartbreak of betrayal by her loved one. The Divine Dominator poured her heart and soul into perfecting this spell to ensure one's significant other would never turn their back on them and stab them from behind."
"Ultimately, the Divine Dominator comprehended a great law through this ordeal and made a breakthrough to the True Divinity Realm, becoming the Goddess of Promise. When the Goddess of Promise casts the spell, no one beneath a Rank 11 True God can break it."
"Can you guess what the spell's name is?" Henrietta asked shortly after explaining the history behind the contract spell, squeezing her chest with one hand as if to calm her palpitating heartbeat.
"Hmm..."
Vaan hummed with a slight smile, shortening the small distance between them with a step before holding his newly-wedded wife by the waist and pulling her into his embrace.
With Henrietta's heart leaning against Vaan's chest, his calm, beating heart was meant to soothe her uneasiness by allowing her heart to match his steady rhythm. But instead, her heart rate increased along with her brightening shy blush.
"Is it the Forget Me Not Spell?" Vaan casually guessed, not taking the question seriously. After all, he had limited information and had no way of knowing the name.
However, to his surprise, Henrietta suddenly pushed her hands against his chest, drawing distance between them to look up at him with astonishment.
"How did you know?" Henrietta asked with amazement.
No matter how wise Vaan was, the probability of him knowing the name of the contract spell from her master's Divine Realm was almost non-existent, given the limited knowledge she provided.
"Lucky guess?" Vaan replied with interest, having not anticipated such a coincidence.
But after a moment, his gaze flickered with doubt as he thought to himself whether it was truly a coincidence that he could guess the name correctly in one go.
There had been more and more bizarre and unexplainable incidents happening to and around him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVaan expected no less from a primordial, undying being who had lived an incredibly as long as the stars and reached the peak of power in her so-called Divine Realm.
Nevertheless, he could only shake his head and put those matters aside, focusing on the important task at hand. They weren't matters that could be figured out from just pondering on the spot.
"Isn't that way too coincidental-Mmph...!"
Henrietta didn't finish talking when Vaan pulled her back towards him and forced his lips on hers, silencing her as he stole another kiss from her.
However, Vaan didn't end it with a simple lip-to-lip kiss. He slipped his greedy tongue through the slight crevice between Henrietta's lips and ravaged the timid and clueless red snake dwelling inside.
In that instant, several bolts of electrifying shock ran through Henrietta's body, leaving behind multiple tingling points.
The pleasant sensation quickly enamored her.
When their lips separated, a dreamy look could be found on Henrietta's face. She was still savoring the wondrous feeling of a real kiss.
However, Vaan's following suggestion immediately brought her back to reality.
"Shall we dual-practice?"
"I..."
The faint blush on Henrietta's cheeks suddenly turned bright red. Her heart started pounding with anxiety, and her body temperature swiftly rose.
She made several attempts to meet Vaan's eyes but averted her gaze each time. At that same time, her heart would pound harder with greater anxiety, nervousness, and shyness.
"Dammit!" Henrietta cussed while clutching her chest.
Poof!
Henrietta couldn't cope with the situation and fled inside her mind, letting her master regain control of her body.
"My disciple is still shy around you. I hope you can be patient with her and interact more; give her time to adapt," Empyrean Scarletsea started before saying, "As mentioned before, I'll be your dual-practice partner in her stead."
"She will watch us and learn," Empyrean Scarletsea added.
"Alright," Vaan nodded.
He studied Henrietta's facial features while Empyrean Scarletsea was in control and noticed the subsiding blush on her cheeks.
Since Empyrean Scarletsea and Henrietta shared the same body, including all their senses, Vaan doubted Empyrean Scarletsea was immune to the attraction of their fire affinity compatibility. Even so, Empyrean Scarletsea was still able to interact with him normally.
From this fact alone, it was clear that Empyrean Scarletsea's mental fortitude was powerful enough to resist the body's carnal desires.
Nevertheless, Vaan didn't believe that he couldn't break her calmness with the Heavenly Massage.
After all, the Heavenly Massage could be said to be a technique that transcended everything he had learned on his life journey so far. Its level of detail and demand for mastery made it something not just any human could master, let alone create it.
Lord Manfred might have given the manual to him to learn it, but Vaan was certain he was not the inventor of the technique; he had only found it by chance.
The real inventor behind the Heavenly Massage had to be an incredibly powerful dual cultivator with in-depth knowledge of the art of healing.
Of course, the being must have been extremely perverted as well.
It was said that there were only five levels of pleasure, but there was no actual limit to the pleasure force one could feel. Everyone's five levels of pleasure were different, and they could change according to a person's individual growth in resistance to the pleasure force.
For example, suppose the pleasure force was converted into numerical values matching the world's power system. In that case, Vaan had only been using around 250-550 units of pleasure force to allow most of his partners to experience the third level of pleasure.
However, the same amount of pleasure force might only achieve the second or even the first level of pleasure on a higher-level being.
Vaan could easily make his partners experience far more than 1,200 units of pleasure force if he wanted to.
However, due to the consequences, he had never attempted such a feat on anyone besides Aeliana and Eniwse during their abomination state. After all, he had no reason to break the minds of his partners, and it was far too benevolent and merciful if he gave his enemies such an experience.
Although Vaan was curious how much pleasure force was needed to break Empyrean Scarletsea's calmness, he didn't intend to find out.
Henrietta wouldn't be able to bear it.
...
Shortly after Empyrean Scarletsea and Vaan moved to the room's large, soft, white bed, he removed Henrietta's black dress and got to work.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the same time, Empyrean Scarletsea revealed a slightly unsettled expression.
However, it quickly vanished.
As such, Vaan continued with his art of pleasure. He started by teasing the two small white rabbits with his hands as he massaged them.
His dexterous hands didn't just amplify sensitivity to pleasure but also improved blood flow, increasing the body's likeliness to sweat and expel impurities and toxins trapped in the pores.
The Heavenly Massage offered various health benefits. It was originally a medical technique - altered for perverted means.
However, in the present world, dual practice shouldn't be frowned upon for depravity, nor was it a choice; it was a necessity.
"Mmm..."
A small grunt came out of Empyrean Scarletsea's mouth as Vaan stimulated the erogenous zones on Henrietta's body.
Evidently, Empyrean Scarletsea was feeling the sensual pleasure derived from them. Even if she was an Empyrean God in her past life, she was currently no different from a mortal whilst she shared her disciple's body and all its senses.
Suddenly, a mischievous urge to tease Empyrean Scarletsea sprouted in Vaan's heart.
As Vaan stimulated Henrietta's body with the Heavenly Massage and heard several more subtle grunts, pants, and moans from Empyrean Scarletsea, he collected various information from her reaction and stiff, rigid movements.
The information allowed him to understand that while Empyrean Scarletsea had some experience with dual practice, she couldn't be considered skilled.
Whether it was her expression or movement, both seemed forced.
Vaan quickly understood that even though Empyrean Scarletsea volunteered to dual practice with him in her disciple's stead, she still had her own mental barriers to overcome.
"Hnngg..!"
Empyrean Scarletsea panted under the pleasure of Vaan's skillful fingers. She subtly clenched her fists and appeared tensed and stiff.
The details did not escape Vaan's gaze.
Nevertheless, he didn't say anything as he suddenly lay Empyrean Scarletsea down on the bed to help with the relaxation of the body.
Afterward, he resumed his single-man work like he was working back at the Earthly Pleasure Manor. He took it slow and steady with his Heavenly Massage to ease his dual-practice partner into the mood.
Even if the mind was saying no, the body...
