Capítulo 1519: Chapter 1112: Holding Them Back
“Because it really is funny.” Felix pressed his lips together, his eyes full of amusent: “To abstain from desire, you must abstain from you… hahaha, the stories I’ve heard often involve n encountering iwa and having to restrain themselves. These tales usually advise n not to be consud by female allure, to learn physical restraint, but you actually forced four female mages to abstain – isn’t that almost like a real male seducer?”
“That’s not it at all. They’re just temporarily not interacting with so they can focus more on training!” Ash tried to defend himself: “It’s different from iwa!”
“Is it different? Doesn’t iwa also wear down one’s will through charm?”
Ash shook his head: “You’ve never seen iwa, so you may think their charm is so kind of ntal seduction. But real iwa can be irresistibly enchanting, endlessly demanding, you simply can’t stop. You only feel like you’re subrged in an ocean of pleasure…”
Felix looked at Ash’s deeply reflective expression, raising an eyebrow: “I don’t quite get it, but why do you know so much?”
Ash blinked and continued to wash the clothes: “Anyway, I fully support their choice to focus on magic. Since they believe ‘With no man in heart, drawing the sword cos naturally,’ I will naturally not disturb their state of mind.”
“What’s the truth?”
“I haven’t replenished my Sword Maiden energy in ages…” Ash lowered his head dejectedly: “I really want to hug and kiss the Sword Maiden…”
“I noticed.” Felix said: “From the third day you started acting like an unloved puppy desperately needing affection. I’ve been wondering these past nights if you’d sneak into their tents.”
“You noticed?” Ash was startled: “Then do they…”
“They surely noticed.” Felix shrugged: “But that’s precisely the point of abstinence.”
“Compared to montary pleasures, having power allows one to pursue greater happiness. They’re doing it not just to refine themselves, but for the future of the team.”
“Only by completely cutting off your influence can they put aside their inner conflicts and truly cooperate intimately. You know, these past days have been the best I’ve seen them get along since I knew you.”
“Mind you, even half a year ago, when the Sword Maiden and Witch wielded the Four Pillars God Sect on your behalf while you were trapped there, although you were left with only a numb shell, they still argued endlessly over it.”
“When you woke up, it got even more complicated,” Felix adjusted water flow to wash clothes, the water murmuring: “They maintained the thinnest peace openly, but behind closed doors, their bickering and competing never stopped for a single day, almost leading to conflict several tis, luckily you tily suppressed the tensions.”
“I thought their relations would never improve.” Felix glanced at Ash: “After all, they have irreconcilable conflicts of interest, with everyone believing they have the chance to be the sole victor, so they can’t escape the zero-sum competitive relationship.”
Ash lowered his head, silently scrubbing clothes.
“But these days they’ve been showcasing what it ans to be talented female mages.” Felix said: “Seriously, focused, incredibly inspirational, with an extraordinary ability to connect disparate ideas. The battle in Star Bridge Hall fully ignited their sense of crisis, they indulged their talents without reservation to beco stronger, even sister Vishi withheld nothing, they drew as much insight from each other as possible, nearly leaving the previous day’s selves far behind every single day.”
“Ash,” Felix wrung out a pair of distant dark blue underwear, sighed: “They are truly shining.”
Ash looked at the clothes he was washing: “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“I am simply voicing your inner thoughts.” Felix said: “Your entire face is written with ‘After they abstained from , they improved so fast, am I possibly holding them back’ self-doubt, and you volunteered to help with laundry the mont you returned. I washed for eight days before without hearing a peep from you… you’re unexpectedly easy to read.”
“…From now on I’ll wash my own clothes.” Ash said a bit embarrassed.
“No need, everyone has their own duties in the team, mine as a humble Holy Sanctuary Mage is chores. And your responsibility, is to be their ‘contraband’.” Felix gave him a sidelong look, took the shirt he hadn’t finished washing to her side: “Besides, you’re too slow, your efficiency is too low, without magic power you indeed beco a re burden.”
“Hey hey, that’s a bit of an overstatent!”
“Not convinced? Fight , can you beat ?” Felix taunted: “Try to get hit and don’t tell your girlfriends.”
“Once I recover my magic power, I’ll spank you.” Ash threw out a harsh line, then hurriedly slipped away, as if genuinely afraid she’d hit him. Felix watched him leave, picked up his still-unwashed shirt, took a deep breath, subconsciously tensing her hips.
After finishing the laundry, Felix discovered Ash was grinding coffee by hand. He added milk and sugar to his cup and handed black coffee to Felix’s side, “Only the original flavor of the beans right? Though my skills aren’t great, you’ll have to make do.”
The blonde girl gave him a slightly peculiar look, after taking a sip she said: “I can’t be their substitute, they’re not allowed to interact with you either.”
Ultimately, whether the Sword Maiden and the others abstain or not, Felix and Dedarose aren’t permitted to ‘tamper’ with Ash. But taking advantage of this abstinence event, they established behavior norms for Felix and Dedarose, outlining clear boundaries with ‘contraband’ Ash.
“It’s just a reward for completing housework.” Ash said grumpily: “Although I don’t often notice your contributions, once I do it should be acknowledged.”
“A cup of coffee and I’m done…” Felix mumbled: “You truly are stingy with won who aren’t yours…”
“You said earlier, you were just speaking my mind.” Ash said holding a coffee cup, “Now what about your mind? Do you also think I’m hindering their developnt?”
Felix thought for a mont, then asked: “Let ask you this first—if you had children with them, would you treat their children well?”
“Of course.” Ash answered without hesitation.
“You’re most fond of the Sword Maiden now, would you favor the Sword Maiden’s child in the future?”
“Treat them all equally.” Ash replied: “I don’t have any parenting experience yet, but I will strive to treat our children fairly.”
“Assuming you can truly treat them equally, fairly.” Felix said: “But wouldn’t your child feel miserable? Knowing from birth they aren’t their parents’ favorite, with many half-siblings dividing the love they could receive.”
“Moreover, if even mothers are caught in cutthroat competitive relations, do you think the children will grow to be loving and united? Or do you have confidence they’ll fully let go of their inner obsessions to wholeheartedly serve you?”
Ash was about to refute when he fell silent at these words.
Felix leaned forward, resting her chest on the table towards Ash, this usually gentle and timid blonde girl suddenly exuded an imposing aura.
“Those are my true thoughts.” Miss Vosloda said: “You aren’t holding back their developnt, you are holding back their lives.”
