Sparta: Many childrens, Many Blessings, Starting from the Gladiator Chapter 7 7

He didn't wait for an answer and kissed her directly.

Rough, direct, without any foreplay.

Lucretia's body stiffened, then quickly softened. She wrapped her arms around his neck and responded fiercely.

This kiss was full of plunder and possession, completely different from her always perfunctory husband.

After a long ti, their lips parted.

Lucretia panted, her eyes blurred.

But Lynx didn't continue.

He let go of his hand, stepped back one step, leaned against the edge of the pool, and looked at her with a half-smile.

"What?"

Lucretia was sowhat unaccustod to this sudden withdrawal. "Scared?"

"Scared?"

Lynx shook his head. "I was just thinking, why is Madam so proactive today? What do you want to get from ?"

Lucretia's expression stiffened for a mont.

"Batiatus sent you?"

Lynx continued to ask, his tone flat. "To test ? Or… to use you to tie down?"

Lucretia was silent.

A few seconds later, she suddenly laughed, with self-mockery in her laughter: "You really aren't stupid."

She walked to the edge of the pool, picked up the wine jug, poured two more cups of wine, and handed one to Lynx.

"Batiatus did send ."

She took a big sip. "He said you are a good seedling, but too wild, and need… taming."

"Taming?"

Lynx sneered.

"Yes, taming."

Lucretia turned around, leaned her back against the edge of the pool, and looked up at the ceiling. "Using won, money, power — these are his usual thods. He thinks as long as he gives you so sweetness, you will obediently wag your tail like a dog."

Lynx didn't speak, waiting for her to continue.

"But after I ca, I found…"

Lucretia turned to look at him, her eyes complex. "You are different from the gladiators he has seen before. You are not the kind of dog that wags its tail when given a bone. You are a wolf."

She reached out and traced her fingertips across Lynx's chin.

"Wolves cannot be tied. Either kill it, or… make it your wolf."

Lynx grabbed her hand: "So which one did Madam choose?"

Lucretia stared at him for a long ti, then slowly uttered two words: "The latter."

Their eyes t.

Steam rose between them.

Lynx suddenly smiled, let go of her hand, and took out that small glass bottle from the system space.

"What is this?"

Lucretia asked curiously.

"A little… sothing to enhance the mood."

Lynx pulled out the cork, poured a little liquid on his palm, then applied it to Lucretia's neck and collarbone.

The liquid was cool, with a faint, indescribable fragrance.

Lucretia took a deep breath. She felt that fragrance enter her nose, and then… a hot current surged from deep within her body.

"You…"

Her eyes changed.

"Don't worry, it's not poison."

Lynx threw away the bottle and held her face with both hands. "It's just to make tonight… a bit more unforgettable."

The effect ca quickly.

Lucretia felt her body getting hotter and hotter, but her consciousness was unusually clear.

She could clearly feel every inch of skin being touched and the heat of every breath.

Lynx's hands road over her body. His rough, calloused palms brushed over sensitive areas, causing waves of shivers.

This was completely different from Batiatus's chanical and perfunctory lovemaking.

Lynx's movents were full of aggression but also skillful.

He knew where to apply force, where to caress lightly, and where to make her lose control.

Lucretia quickly surrendered completely. She lted in his arms, only able to make broken moans.

The water waves surged violently.

The firelight cast intertwined shadows on the wall.

Lucretia experienced for the first ti what true conquest felt like.

This man could not only kill in the arena, but also make her completely submit in bed.

That feeling of being completely controlled and powerless to resist actually fascinated her.

After an unknown amount of ti.

Everything cald down.

Lucretia lay limp by the edge of the pool, soaked all over, hair sticking to her face, panting heavily.

She felt like her body was falling apart, but filled with a strange sense of satisfaction.

Lynx leaned beside her, his breathing also a little rapid, but his eyes remained clear.

He glanced at the system prompt.

[Detected that the Host had intimate relations with high-potential female "Lucretia"]

[Lucretia Favorability 30, Current Favorability: 45 (Infatuation and Dependence)]

[Detected successful pregnancy in target's body (Mild Aphrodisiac Perfu increased pregnancy chance)]

[Congratulations on completing the first pregnancy achievent!]

[Reward: Spartacus-Level Physique (Interdiate upgrade), Latin Language Mastery]

A stronger heat flow than before instantly surged through his entire body!

His bones made faint cracking sounds, muscle fibers seed to reorganize and strengthen.

Lynx could clearly feel his strength increasing, endurance improving, and body coordination reaching a new height.

At the sa ti, a large amount of Latin grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation knowledge flooded into his mind, instantly mastered.

Interdiate Spartacus physique! Latin mastery!

Aweso!

Lucretia recovered, turned her head to look at Lynx, and saw him with his eyes closed and a slight smile on his lips.

"What are you smiling at?"

She asked softly, her voice hoarse.

Lynx opened his eyes and turned to look at her: "Smiling because Madam was very passionate tonight."

Lucretia's face reddened, but she didn't refute.

She propped herself up, leaned against the edge of the pool, and looked at the water surface.

"I will handle Batiatus's side."

She suddenly said, "If he asks, I'll say you are very obedient and have been 'tad' by ."

"Then how does Madam plan to ta ?"

Lynx asked playfully.

Lucretia glanced at him, her eyes serious: "I will provide you with information, help you avoid traps, and help you gain a firm foothold in the training camp. And you…"

She paused: "I want you to beco strong, strong enough that Batiatus doesn't dare to touch you, strong enough that… I can rely on you to escape my current life."

"What kind of life does Madam want to escape?"

"The life of a wife who can be discarded at any ti."

Lucretia sneered. "Batiatus has been looking for new slave girls lately, young and beautiful. Once he gets tired of playing, I will be thrown into the corner like old furniture. I don't want that."

Lynx understood.

This was a transaction.

She used her body and information in exchange for his growth and future protection.

Very realistic, and very in line with the rules of this world.

"Deal."

Lynx extended his hand.

Lucretia looked at him and reached out to hold it.

Their palms clasped, wet with water.

"But Madam,"

Lynx suddenly leaned close and whispered in her ear, "Are you sure it's just a transaction? Your reaction just now… didn't look like acting."

Lucretia's body trembled and she turned her face away: "That's not important."

"It is important."

Lynx turned her face back, forcing her to look at him. "I like honesty. It's normal that you desire , and I desire you too, but between us, it's not just desire."

He let go of his hand, stood up, water droplets rolling off his body.

"We are allies, Lucretia."

He called her na for the first ti. "You help , I help you. It's that simple. As for the things in bed… just treat it as… in-depth communication between allies."

Lucretia stared blankly at him.

This man… was too sober.

Sober to the point of being terrifying.

But for so reason, this sobriety made her feel more at ease.

At least, he wouldn't be like Batiatus, sweet words on the surface but scheming behind the back.

"Good."

She nodded. "Allies."

Lynx walked out of the pool, picked up clean linen cloth to dry his body, and changed into the prepared clean clothes — still gladiator leather armor and undergarnt, but at least clean.

Lucretia also got up and picked up the chiton robe from the ground to drape over herself.

"By the way,"

Lynx fastened the leather armor buckle and suddenly rembered sothing. "What are Batiatus's next plans?"

Lucretia tied her sash and thought for a mont: "He plans to arrange more performance matches for you to build your reputation quickly. As for Crixus… he will provoke you to fight internally. He likes to watch gladiators consu each other, so he can control them better."

"Crixus…"

Lynx nodded. "Got it."

"Also,"

Lucretia walked in front of him and helped him straighten his collar. "Be careful of the training camp instructor Gaius. He is Batiatus's confidant, specifically responsible for 'dealing with' disobedient gladiators."

"Gaius."

Lynx rembered the na.

"I should go."

Lucretia looked at him one last ti. "Tomorrow I will have a female slave send you so wound dicine, just for show."

"Thank you, Madam."

Lynx grinned.

Lucretia rolled her eyes at him, turned and walked toward the bathhouse door. When she reached the door, she stopped and looked back.

"Lynx."

"Hmm?"

"Don't die."

She said softly. "I invested in you. You have to let get my money back."

After saying that, she pushed the door and left.

The wooden door closed.

The bathhouse was left with only Lynx again.

He stood in place, feeling the surging power in his body and the fluent Latin in his mind.

"Spartacus-level physique… now I should be able to fight Crixus head-on, right?"

He clenched his fist, his knuckles making cracking sounds.

"And Latin… it will be much more convenient to deal with those nobles in the future."

He walked to the edge of the pool and looked at his reflection on the water surface.

The childishness on his face had faded a lot, replaced by a sharp edge.

His eyes were very bright, like a blade quenched in fire.

"Allies…"

He muttered to himself and smiled. "Not bad, each taking what they need."

Pushing open the bathhouse door, the night wind blew in his face, carrying the unique dust sll of the training ground.

In the distance, the windows of the main building were still lit.

Batiatus was probably still calculating how much money he earned today.

Further away, the sheds where the gladiators lived were pitch black, with only a few sporadic snoring sounds.

Lynx took a deep breath and walked toward his cell.
