Damian was now sitting under the tree, waiting for Violetta, and a mont later, she finally returned.
The mont she saw Damian sitting there waiting, she beca slightly startled. "Master?"
anwhile, Damian imdiately noticed sothing strange about her expression, but he didn’t think too much of it at first.
He then casually smiled before directly taking out a jade bottle, and without waiting for her to say anything, he lightly tossed it toward her. "Catch."
Violetta quickly caught the bottle carefully before looking at it in confusion.
Then, the mont she opened it, her expression instantly changed again.
Inside the bottle were ten crimson-colored pills emitting a dense dicinal fragrance. They were top-rank profound-grade Blood Qi Recovery Pills.
These pills were extrely important during battles because they could rapidly recover Qi and restore blood vitality.
For cultivators, these kinds of recovery pills were often life-saving treasures.
anwhile, Damian casually explained afterward, "You’re getting stronger now, so sooner or later, you’ll probably need proper recovery pills too."
Violetta looked toward him blankly for several monts before lowering her head slightly. "Thank you, Master."
Damian only nodded and, like usual, waited for the return, but the mont he saw it, he was imdiately surprised.

[Target: Violetta]
[Gift Given: 10 Top-Rank Profound Grade Blood Qi Recovery Pills]
[50× Normal Multiplier Activated]
[Reward Obtained: 500 Top-Rank Profound Grade Blood Qi Recovery Pills]
---
Damian imdiately beca confused and shocked. "What the hell is happening?"
Previously, every gift given to Violetta had triggered critical or extre multipliers, but now, it was just a normal multiplier.
Although five hundred top-rank profound-grade pills were still extrely valuable... compared to his previous absurd rewards, this felt pretty damn disappointing.
Damian then quickly began thinking seriously because he was afraid this wouldn’t be a one-ti thing.
What if future gifts only returned normal multipliers? His growth speed would slow down massively compared to before.
He turned to Violetta and narrowed his eyes. He needed to find out just what the hell had happened to his dear treasure chest.
anwhile, Violetta herself quietly held the jade bottle while secretly looking toward Damian.
For so reason, the perfu scent lingering faintly around him felt even more obvious than before.

Damian frowned slightly and looked back at Violetta. "Violetta... what happened to you today?"
Then his voice softened slightly afterward. "Do you want to talk about sothing?"
The mont he asked that, Violetta imdiately fell silent, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the pill bottle.
She never thought her master would suddenly notice her change, so she couldn’t help but reveal it, wanting to know the truth.
She looked back at Damian and stared directly into his eyes. "Master... have you been going to brothels recently?"
The mont those words entered his ears, Damian froze slightly, because suddenly, everything made sense.
Violetta had left his residence today, and she was also a forr courtesan, so there was a very high chance she had unconsciously wandered back toward the brothel district for a walk.
And if she did, she would naturally hear the rumors about him gifting expensive pills to courtesans recently, hence her bad mood today.
Now that Damian finally realized the problem, he didn’t know what the hell to do.
Violetta probably thought that Damian viewed her the sa way as those courtesans, just another beautiful woman from a brothel.
And because of that... everything he had previously done for her suddenly beca questionable again.
From her perspective, perhaps it now looked less special. Or worse, perhaps she thought Damian only liked won from brothels because of lust.
Damian inwardly clicked his tongue slightly because this was really troubleso. He went to the brothels only because of the system.
But he couldn’t just say that to her right now, and he needed to think of a reason because he needed her fifty-tis multiplier very much.
And thanks to that, he clearly understood that keeping Violetta’s trust and emotions stable was extrely important now.
Damian frowned inwardly. "What excuse am I even supposed to make here...?"
---
Damian looked at Violetta, then sighed as he replied, "What if I did?"
The atmosphere instantly fell silent afterward.
Violetta frowned in front of Damian for the first ti in a very long while. "Master... are you really treating as just another courtesan?"
Damian sighed and walked toward her, then placed his hands on her shoulders. "Violetta, you need to understand sothing. Yes, I did indeed go to those brothels."
Violetta’s expression slightly paled upon hearing the direct confirmation, but before she could speak...
Damian directly continued, "But do you really think I would waste this much effort on just any courtesan?"
Violetta froze slightly afterward, but Damian didn’t stop and instead made his face gradually beco more serious.
"I healed your body. I searched dangerous forests for treasures for you, and I gave you many martial arts and resources most sect disciples wouldn’t even receive."
Then Damian slowly narrowed his eyes slightly. "If I only saw you as another ordinary courtesan... why the hell would I do all that?"
Violetta imdiately beca silent afterward.
anwhile, Damian himself was quietly grinning inwardly, surprised that his acting could actually be this good and convincing.
But he knew this still wasn’t enough, so he continued his act as he lightly sighed before speaking again.
"The won at the brothels are just strangers, and the only reason I gave them gifts was simply because I was in a good mood."
His hands tightened on her shoulders. "But you’re different. You’re my disciple and also the person I trust the most right now."
The mont those words entered her ears, Violetta’s pupils trembled slightly.
Damian also kept staring into her eyes, wanting to shake her even more.
"And also, rember, Violetta. Back then, I even bowed down and knelt in front of you, asking for your forgiveness."
Violetta’s body instantly stiffened slightly after hearing that because she rembered it clearly.
A Foundation Establishnt cultivator had actually knelt in front of her.
And at that ti, she had truly believed Damian had genuinely changed.
Damian then grinned a little as he finally delivered the final hit to end all of this.
"If I really only viewed you as another courtesan, then why the hell would I repeat all the sa things that hurt you before?"
Violetta’s breathing instantly beca slightly unstable because she couldn’t answer that question.
Her master really had a point.
Because if he truly only wanted her body, or if he treated her like an ordinary brothel woman, then there would have been no reason for him to apologize, heal her body, and even support her revenge.
And most importantly, there would have been no reason for him to not touch her despite living together with her for this long.
Now, because of all those things, Violetta herself didn’t know what to do.
This was just too much for her to think about.
