Catina looked at Jared, smiling faintly. “You care so much about that little demoness. Do you perhaps fancy her?”
“No!” Jared shook his head.
“Since you’re the one who found it, I can give the little demoness a few. However, you must exchange something for these.”
“Exchange what?” Jared was unsure what Catina wanted.
“What do you think?” Tenderly, Catina caressed his cheek. Immediately, Jared understood her intentions and said resignedly, “One fruit for one more time in bed with me, I see. Very well. Give two to Ms. Lothian first. I commit to two more such moments with you in the future.”
Catina chuckled. “I see you’ve gotten smarter now. I’ll give her two, then.”
As she spoke, she tossed two fruits to Rosetta. Holding the two spiritual fruits, Rosetta was overjoyed, but she wasn’t aware Jared had exchanged those two fruits with his body.
“We should leave immediately. The arcane array is broken, and the light earlier has no doubt caught someone’s attention,” said Catina.
However, Jared didn’t leave at once. He gently touched the seemingly withered tree, absorbing the celestial energy within through its trunk.
Despite the tree’s apparent condition, the celestial energy within it remained thick.
“What are you standing there for? Let’s go!” exclaimed Catina when she saw Jared hugging the tree instead of moving.
“There is celestial energy within the tree. I want to absorb some of it.”
“There are many magical items in the Celestial Battlefield, yet you’re clinging onto this tiny amount of celestial energy. You’re useless, you know that?” Catina gazed at Jared helplessly.
“You can’t expect a mule to work without letting it rest. How can you ask me to keep on moving if I don’t absorb some celestial energy? I’m exhausted right now.” Jared was displeased.
Rolling her eyes, Catina uttered, “Fine. Absorb the celestial energy to your heart’s content. We’ll camp here today.”
Following that, she swiped her finger across the tree, creating a hole. They could rest well while absorbing the celestial energy within the tree. Catina entered the hole and summoned Jared in.
On the side, Rosetta was savoring the spiritual fruits. It would be great if I could open a nascence space and attain a nascence power. She was so focused on her task that she didn’t hear the moans coming from within the tree hole.
The moans lasted for two hours before fading away. After that, Jared used Focus Technique and sucked the celestial energy within the tree as fast as he could.
Soon, the night went by.
That night, Jared had sex with Catina three times. If not for the celestial energy to restore his stamina, he might’ve struggled to keep up. Meanwhile, Catina grew more charming and the bloodline in her body was starting to become powerful.
Suddenly, Rosetta let out scream. Upon hearing that, Jared rushed out and saw Rosetta shouting with unbridled excitement.
Confused, Jared asked, “What’s with you, Ms. Lothian?”
“Mr. Chance, I’ve successfully opened a nascence space! I’ve grasped nascence!”
“Really? What kind of nascence did you obtain?” Jared was happy for Rosetta, too.
He didn’t expect Rosetta to need only two spiritual fruits to open a nascence space and acquire a nascence power.
“I think I’ve grasped blood nascence.” As Rosetta spoke, she made a gentle tap on the void. Instantaneously, the void responded with a ripple, which then radiated outward, permeating the surroundings.
