13 Charming Visit In The Night

After dinner, Dracs took some time for himself. He didn't want to lose his human nature and his host was of course human, so he took a long and hot shower and leisurely stayed in the water bassin for one hour until it got cold.

His control over Taidian's body was perfect and he could use it to enjoy his senses to the fullest.

When he left the bath, he dried up with a towel and dressed up in a white silk night robe. Then he went to the biggest room and he put out the candles.

It was a night with a clear sky, you could see three moons, two twin silver moons which were high up in the sky and a smaller one in the horizon emitting a milky pale light, barely visible. The three jewels of Yzaria, that's what they were called.

Dracs sat cross-legged under the window, on the clean wooden parquet and cultivated for a while before looking at his data.

He was disappointed, nothing had changed and he couldn't even afford the Mysterious Trickster Body cultivation technique.

Fortunately he had thought of something for a while and it was time to ask the system for it.

"System, is there a way to calculate a cultivation technique including the Drain skill and the Purify skill, to create a cultivation method based on corruption and energy's sytem?"

[Impossible to cultivate the corruption]

[Impossible to cultivate the energy's system]

"Explain."

[When you earn corruption's point, it's because of the changes you made that change people's fate and deviate from heaven and earth.]

"But I can absorb other people's corruption with the Purify skill."

[Corruption in people is different from yours. They twist the rules of humans that are sub-rules of heaven and earth. Demonic cultivation is an example of corruption, it's natural to heaven and earth to make a balance and give people the power to exterminate those individuals that have twisted the natural order.]

"I can't see the difference between me and a demonic cultivator, so am I a demonic cultivator?"

[Evil people do evil things without moral, without a care for others' feelings, without a care for life itself except theirs, you could purify them and absorb their twisted energy and stored it for future use of your own corruption]

"Hmm… Are you bullshitting me? Now, what about the system's energy, why can't I cultivate it?"

[Simple. If you cultivate the system's energy you'll take the risk to become completely the system.]

"I shouldn't have asked, f*** it! Conclusion, this is a huge load of bullshit!"

"..."

It took him a while to calm down after this but he wasn't ready to let it go so easily so he commanded the system with a new task.

"System, calculate the feasibility of using the Cultivation Body Technique of the Bloodline in my current state."

[Calculating the feasibility…]

[First step : acquire the full cultivation technique in the Purple Pavilion of the Akran Clan]

"..."

"So the one that the captain gave me is a piece of shit, it's not the complete one???"

Dracs was so mad that he almost coughed blood again!

[...]

"..."

~sigh~

His plans were crushed in tiny bits by the system in one go. It wasn't unexpected but he was still disappointed.

He could only resume his cultivation session, breath after breath, calming in his mind in the process.

Later in the night, when he was still in this state, he heard a knocking noise coming from the balcony.

~knock, knock~

Dracs instantly stopped his cultivation and scanned in the direction of the noise.

At start, he was in his guards but when he understood who was the new arrivant he could only sighed.

There, on the balcony, a figure with his head wrapped in a hooded cape was standing behind the huge window.

Dracs stood up and went to open it unhurriedly.

But the moment the window was opened, the hooded figure jumped into his arms without any warning!

The movement was so sudden that the hood fell behind and let a cascading black hair appear off it.

Dracs didn't know how to react to this, he didn't want to be too rude in pushing away the girl but he could also not hug her back, so he tried to be as gentle as he could and finally separated from her.

Of course he knew who she was because of Taidian's memory and he couldn't help gritting his teeth angrily. That Taidian was really a heartbreaker, of course he was young and inexperienced but in Dracs' opinion, this young master had only abused his position and lied heavily to this innocent girl.

Moreover, Dracs knew very well that Taidian had no special sentiments toward that girl, if not disdain. For Dracs it was unforgivable, of course mistakes were common but that was how Taidian was, a Young Master with high opinion of himself and low opinion of others, specially others with lower status.

And of course this poor girl was only a maid and for Taidian she was nothing more than what she was, a maid. It could have been only like this, the problem was that Taidian had played with her, promising her that they'll be one day together, that she could become her official mistress and that shouldn't be a problem because his father was like that.

Of course, it was only empty promises and words void of sincerity. To say it rudely, in the young master's eyes, she was no more than a small flesh trophy that could warm his bed whenever he wanted and would never refuse him.

Fortunately for Taidian, he had not done anything too extreme or Dracs would just have anihilated his mind. But this girl was ruined, she would have her heart broken and mind crushed and it was Dracs responsibility to do it.

Dracs looked at her and he saw her eyes full of tears, it was really sad. He then said.

"We would be better in the lounge, don't worry I'll close the window behind you."

She didn't say anything and just did as she was told and Dracs followed just right behind her. She remained standing and Dracs had to show her the sofa in front of him before she finally sat.

Truth being told, it gives Dracs a headache and he didn't know how to tell her what he wanted without breaking her. She was so frail, a young girl around the same age as Taidian, maybe a year older but she was still young.

In this situation the system was useless, he could only rely on himself but he felt like a big brother or even a father going to scold his little sister. It felt so wrong. He could not tell her the truth about him, so he was being radical. So he took a deep breath before saying.

"Wenwen, we would never end together, so you will never become my mistress. I lied to you because I wanted to possess you like a trophy, I was only frustrated with Shian so I needed to release my frustration on you, you were nothing more. But now, I'm here, deeply and sincerely for the first time in my life, to apologize. I apologize to you, we won't see each other anymore, you will be sent away tomorrow, with a lot of money, at least you deserve to live a good life."

The young girl was bewildered, she couldn't believe what her Young Master had just told her, it was such a huge blow to her little world!

"I… I don't… I don't believe you!" She finally managed to say.

Dracs shook his head and stood up ,then he took out a bag full of gold out of the desk and put it in front of the girl. Then he added.

"There should be enough to live your life well." He said seriously.

"Ahahah… AHAHAHAh! Why don't you send me to a robbers' dent instead, it should be more direct! Even my father would be happy to rob me of this money!" She exclaimed with a fake laugh and then began to sob.

Dracs was a bit taken aback. He thought that it should be enough to close this story but things seemed to be not as easy as he had first thought. Because in this world money wasn't all, status and power was the starting point and he failed to take this into consideration.

And after all, this girl' situation was not even his problem, he just wanted to help her because he didn't like what Taidian had done, but if he couldn't help her with money, what's the point? He couldn't risk exposing his real identity to her and didn't have many solutions.

In last resort he could only contact the captain and expose him to the situation, he then asked if someone could look after her in case she was too desperate and made a bad decision.

"I don't know why you are so caring about this girl, but I can tell you that things or not are as simple as you think, even with a sum of money, without power or any background, she won't last long."

"Captain, just tell me what I can do to avoid these troubles."

"Nothing much, Master."

"It's not the answer I wanted to hear."

"Master, I'm sorry I don't have any idea how to solve your problem."

"Thank you, captain, I'll take care of it myself."

Dracs then cut off the conversation and shut the link. So he asked the system.

"System, is there a way to use the strings of confusion or the mindless puppet skill to change her view about Taidian from her memory?"

[Affirmative : due to the target inexistant cultivation and weak mind, strings of confusion can be used with this purpose]

Dracs didn't hesitate another moment, it was already too much for him to bear so he immediately released his cultivation to make the girl collapse and then activate his skill.

Small treads of corruption flew from his right hand and went into the middle of her eyebrows, it didn't take long for him to find the memories related to the young playboy.

And without waiting a second, he corrupted them so the Young Master will appear to her in the future like a distant master-servant relationship without any emotion.

The process didn't last long but it cost him a thousand corruption's points, at least it was for a good deed.

Then he called for the captain to help him return the girl in the attendants building.

~sigh~

"Being a good man is hard."

For the first time since he came to this world, he felt lonely. He now knew that there was hardly a chance that his wife was still alive. He knew very well that an inordinate amount of time had passed since he died.

"Yelna, what should I do? I miss you so much…"
