Klaus slowly opened his golden eyes, which now seed to have an added layer of charm. He looked toward the lady sitting before him and smiled.
"Thanks for guarding ," Klaus said, his handso smile lighting up his face.
Ohema looked at him with a chard expression. Klaus didn't bother saying anything; he had already experienced sothing similar when he chard Miriam after the Slaughter Aura awakened.
"You've grown more handso," Ohema said.
"And stronger too," Klaus replied with a smile.
"Let's find a better place to relax. I still have things to do, but they can wait for now. I want to spend so ti with you," Klaus said, reaching for Ohema's hand.
"By the way, how long has it been?" he asked calmly as he stood up.
"It's been about a month since the tribulation," Ohema said with a small smile. Klaus's hands were around her waist as they moved in a certain direction.
"That long?" Klaus was taken aback. "I wonder how the others are faring," he said.
"Actually, they ca back two weeks ago. They've all beco Grandmasters and are now in the process of stabilizing their foundations," Ohema replied.
"That's great, then. I guess it's up to now to see how much I've grown after that hectic tribulation," Klaus muttered.
Ohema turned and looked at him curiously as they walked closer to a small clearing with a large tree creating a canopy above. She wanted to say sothing but couldn't bring herself to, so she pressed her body closer to Klaus.
"You don't have to worry, Ohema. The heavens and I are like siblings—we're always trying to kill each other over sothing small," Klaus said with a smile.
"Siblings don't try to kill each other, Klaus; only enemies do," Ohema said with a thoughtful look.
"Well, then I think the heavens and I need to have a sit-down. But sothing tells they're just getting started," Klaus grinned. "I'd better prepare for the next heist... err... tribulation." His smile widened.
A short while later, they climbed the small mountain. Beneath the tree, the ground was soft and inviting, covered in countless yellow leaves that littered the forest floor. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting a warm glow and creating a romantic setting.
Klaus quickly grabbed Ohema by the waist, lifting her so she wrapped her legs around him. Their lips t in a fierce kiss that lasted several minutes. They moved around under the tree, locked in each other's embrace, their kisses stretching on as ti seed to stand still.
"You missed , huh," Klaus said, now sitting under the tree with Ohema on his lap. She looked into his eyes for a whole minute before tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"Hey... hey, what's the problem?" Klaus asked, now realizing sothing was wrong.
Ohema seed so absorbed in her tears that she couldn't say anything for a full ten minutes. Klaus, of course, was doing his best to get her to stop crying.
He failed spectacularly, by the way.
"Tell the truth, Klaus. Am I useless? I an, as your woman, don't you think I'm useless?" she asked in a shaky tone. "I just watched you nearly die, and all I can do is kiss you and hold you. As your woman, I should be doing more, but this stupid body is just... too stupid."
Her emotions were in turmoil. Klaus didn't really know how to comfort a woman. His usual approach was to flirt and charm, but when it ca to truly comforting soone, he had zero experience. Still, he tried.
"Look at , Ohema. In my eyes, you're amazing—the best. I don't care whether or not we can have sex; I'd just love to keep holding you and kissing you. That's enough for ," Klaus said, genuinely aning every word.
But his words did little to ease her tears. Klaus sighed, feeling out of his depth, and decided to ask for assistance.
"Senior, you wouldn't happen to be a player, would you? Because right now, I need so smooth advice to calm this fairy down," Klaus asked.
[That is one exquisite body your lady has,] the senior responded, catching Klaus completely off guard.
"Hold it right there, old man! You're not having any weird fantasies, are you?" Klaus asked, clearly taken aback.
[What are you talking about, brat? I was just admiring her constitution. A Virgin Poison Body… you're one lucky brat,] the senior said, hinting at sothing significant.
"What are you hinting at, Senior?" Klaus asked.
[Nothing serious, actually, but if you want a chance at attaining poison immunity, then you've found the right source,] the senior replied, making Klaus frown. Ohema was lost in her sorrow, so she didn't notice the look on his face.
"Senior, the Paragon Mark only works if I… well, if I have sex with her. But since she has such a dangerous body, I can't, unless I want to die from pleasure," Klaus said.
From what he knew, if he were to be with Ohema, her constitution would awaken, transforming her Virgin Poison Body into a True Poison Body. This ant that the mont he crossed that line, he'd be poisoned.
Although the idea of intimacy was enticing, it wasn't worth the risk.
But from the senior's tone, Klaus could tell he might know a way to circumvent Ohema's situation.
"Senior, do you have a way to fix her situation?" Klaus asked, sounding hopeful.
[Of course, I have a way, but that would depend on whether you're willing to risk it.]
"What do you have, Senior?" Klaus wanted nothing more than to help the woman on his lap. After all, he had other things to take care of; a lot had happened within his own body that he needed to examine.
[I have a technique that will allow her to take control of her Poison Body before it fully awakens. This ans that, to so extent, she could control her body enough for you to help her awaken the constitution. However, you'd be taking a risk.
In her heightened state of pleasure, she might lose control and accidentally poison you. But I will also give you a cultivation technique that will allow you to suppress the poison, though the pain will be… very agonizing.]
Experience more on empire
[And when I said I would give you a technique to suppress the poison, I ant it would allow you to absorb it. If you succeed, you'll gain a poison resistance attribute, and as ti goes by, you can start developing it toward poison immunity.]
"So, sothing like poison cultivation?" Klaus asked, intrigued by the way the conversation was going.
If he risked it, he would gain so poison resistance, but if he waited until she fully awakened her body, that chance would be lost forever.
"Let's do it, Senior," Klaus decided to risk it.
[Good. I will transfer the techniques to you now. But make sure your lady is ready before you take any risky steps. You might die smiling.]
"Thanks for the vivid and graphic warning, Senior," Klaus said with a smile as the techniques appeared in his mind.
He looked at Ohema for a few seconds and said, "If you stop crying, I'll teach you a technique that, if you master it, we can have sex without dying."
Ohema's mood shifted instantly.
