Being their first encounter, it cannot end the same way it did with Serene Will. After demonstrating his proofs and justifying them correctly with his semen, Lawrence decides not to take things too far today.

  The beautiful ass of Coldness Divine is raised, with white thread falling down her thighs. He feels proud just to look at it, but he must act before Coldness Divine regains her composure and kicks him out of the house, for he is sure she will do just that.

  As soon as he picks her up and walks a few steps, she stops clenching her teeth.

  “What are you doing now, human?”

  Had he left her on the ground, her attitude would be different from what it is now. Lawrence does not answer, because the answer appears on its own after he opens a door.

  He lets the water run and steps into the bathtub with her.

  “By now, you must have figured it out, haven’t you?”

  “…”

  She is not foolish, easily connecting the loose ends. Two different feelings under two different circumstances. The first, warmth mixed with superiority. The second, ecstasy and inferiority.

  Were it not for the feeling of inferiority, she would easily choose the second. That's how intoxicating the moments were when Lawrence did as he pleased with her body.

  He smiles joyfully. “You are no different from the others.”

  “Human!”

  The situation immediately becomes tense.

  Lawrence is the one who backs off and raises his hands in a sign of peace. “I was just giving my opinion, don’t take it too seriously.”

  “It seemed like more than an opinion. If you had continued…”

  She glares at Lawrence with hatred, because although she has accepted him, he must not cross the line!

  Both remain silent, with Coldness Divine positioned over Lawrence’s body while the warm water cleanses them of all impurity. Initially, her wings and tail were uncomfortable, but he quickly found them to his liking.

  “Speak, Lawrence, if not for your words, I wouldn’t have accepted you.”

  Lawrence snorts at her arrogance, but nevertheless repeats the words of Celestial Firmament. This time he does so with special care, because he is recalling each word in such a way as to strengthen the meaning.

  Coldness Divine silently listens, without Lawrence realizing the confusion in her mind. Although the bathtub removed all trace of him, why do the tingles continue?

  +++

  “Lawrence, I want you to regenerate my arm.”

  He stops and looks incredulously at Serene Will. Both arms are in place, without any scratch, so why this request? Has she become addicted to dismemberment?

  “I'm sorry, I don’t deal with those kinds of fetishes.”

  Even Lawrence has limits.

  “…”

  Serene Will massages her temple, it's true that it's her fault for not explaining, but to jump to that kind of conclusion, simply dealing with Lawrence a few times is difficult.

  “I didn’t say anything because I thought you didn’t meet the conditions, but after what happened in the Forbidden Area, I think it’s time to tell you about my sword.”

  The same story she once told to Sky Petal, she now tells him.

  After hearing it, he is shocked. “You made your sword with your arm as the material?!”

  A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  “I made it before ascending to the Divine Plane, I never thought it would become the best weapon I’d hold in my hands.”

  Those words were of comfort to Sky Petal and to herself, where would it be so easy to find an elixir that regenerates limbs? Knowing the difficulty, she tried to replace it with different weapons, keeping quiet about the real problem.

  “But you--”

  “Did I sacrifice my Way? Yes, I did. I sacrificed the Way I nurtured throughout my life, it wouldn’t be wrong to say I lost everything at that moment, but you are mistaken about one thing.”

  Serene Will closes her eyes and the next second a sword intent surge from her body, an intent very different from what Lawrence knows.

  “That wasn’t the only one I had. In my entire life, I discovered seven sword ways, the one I sacrificed being the one that most represented me.”

  “Past…”

  “You realized.”

  Serene Will subtly smiles and looks toward the lake, her reflection shimmering on its surface. "Since I ascended to the Divine Plane... the sword way I once trusted no longer represents me. It became even more so after meeting you. It was destined to crack at some point."

  This was a way that did not allow mistakes, one of solitude.

  “But it was the strongest I had, I couldn’t get rid of it.”

  It is then that she takes Lawrence’s sword and directs it towards her arm. “If I refine that sword again, I am sure to find a way that represents today’s Serene Will. One that will continue to strengthen until my last days.”

  Lawrence understands the importance of this, so he does not hesitate to agree.

  "Alright, I will do it."

  A smile reflects on her face, and the next moment she ruthlessly cuts off her right arm, her dominant arm. As soon as it falls to the ground, Lawrence performs his regeneration magic.

  "Thank you."

  Seconds later her arm regenerates completely, and Lawrence loses his strength, but before he falls, he is supported by her.

  "This side effect sucks."

  She smiles at his words and sets him down on a nearby seat, then picks up her own arm from the ground.

  "That sword... I will wield it again."

  With a broad smile, she heads toward the mansion, leaving Lawrence alone.

  'Doesn't she remember that this is my most vulnerable state? Isn’t she afraid of becoming a widow?' Lawrence curses internally, but it quickly passes. That Serene Will regains her strength is something that benefits them both.

  There is nothing that annoys him more than a useless woman.

  While he remains by the lake, inside the mansion Serene Will and Sky Petal stop in front of a large pill furnace. It's true that it is intended for refining pills, but its quality is so amazing that it wouldn't lag behind those intended for refining weapons.

  "The refining process won't shape it, but it will create the foundation."

  Sky Petal studies Serene Will's movements, she has been refining pills and the results are not bad at all. In terms of experience, she has surpassed Serene Will, who has taught her limited knowledge in the area.

  "The success rate will increase thanks to the ingots of divine purity, but it is difficult for the final result to match their quality. It is because of this that I need your help, can I trust you?"

  "Aren't you giving me too much credit?"

  Serene Will shakes her head at Sky Petal's question.

  "If Lawrence found out about the quality of your medicinal pills, he would keep you locked in this room refining them twenty-four hours a day. Do not let him find out until you achieve a significant breakthrough. For now, come closer. Although I only know how to make this sword, it will serve as experience for you."

  While Serene Will focuses on refining her sword, Sky Petal assists with the knowledge she has inherited from her constant pill refinements.

  A day later, the Twin Phoenix Furnace shines with intensity, generating illusions of mythical beasts around it. Serene Will opens it and removes an unfinished blade.

  "I'll be away for a few days forging it, convey my message to Lawrence."

  Sky Petal bids her farewell. "May you have success."

  Serene Will would not return until a week later, bearing a gleaming sword at her waist.

  +++

  Since the day they slept together, the relationship between Lawrence and Coldness Divine progressed by leaps and bounds.

  Initially, he held back, but as the days passed, this changed.

  "Hmph. You've done whatever you wanted, without asking me about it."

  She should be the one in charge, the one to decide how things progress, but somehow this ape has managed to find the best way to make her feel good.

  Though at the cost of wounding a dragon's pride.

  "We both hold the same position, if I asked you everything, where would the surprise be?"

  He already has enough with a woman who reads his mind, to have to tell everything he's thinking to the other. No matter what he chooses, this problem has no end.

  She snorts. "You know what I mean."

  Lawrence smiles, of course, he knows. He has been imposing all his carnal desires, while she has no space to give her opinion on the matter. Not to mention, everything he does satisfies her completely.

  "I won't lick this filthy thing."

  This entire discussion arose because of the meat bar Lawrence placed near her face. With a dragon's senses, Coldness Divine can feel much more than a human, licking his dick would mean multiplying the feeling of disgust.

  Seeing her look of displeasure, Lawrence snorts.

  "You promised you wouldn't oppose our relationship. This is quite normal, isn't it?"

  Lawrence plays his trump card while rubbing his dick against Coldness Divine's cheeks.

  "You just have to kiss my glans and then lick it passionately like you do--"

  "Be quiet for a moment!"

  She grits her teeth and directs her gaze toward Lawrence's dick, looking at it with resentment, as if that meat bar had murdered her entire family.

  After reflecting for a few seconds, Coldness Divine brings her lips closer to that foul human dick of her own volition.
