The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System

Chapter 739: 739 - Forgive this husband of yours

After his fun-filled session with Biyue and Feiyan, it wasn’t long before Qingyi found himself relaxing alongside the two beauties in the temple’s hot springs.

His body was submerged up to his chest in the warm water, with two beauties clinging to him, one on each side.

Their soft skin brushed against his, the heat of their pressed bodies mingling with the warmth of the spring in a comforting blend that dissolved every last knot of tension from his muscles.

"Have you been cultivating well?" Qingyi asked, his soft voice breaking the tranquil silence of the fountains.

Lately, his life had boiled down to sex and battle, an endless road where there were always enemies to be slain.

He could not allow himself, not even for a single moment, to fall behind in his unbridled race for power.

It had been quite some time since he’d had a real conversation with his wives.

"Hm~ it’s going well..." Feiyan replied, channeling her Qi and releasing a faint thread that revealed her cultivation at the beginning of the Celestial Ascension Realm.

It was an extraordinarily powerful foundation, fueled especially by the absurd density of Qi in the Mind World.

Even stellar sovereigns, such as the leader of the Cosmic Dawn Sect, did not have easy access to a place with such a high concentration of Qi.

Feeling the strength of both their auras, Qingyi nodded with satisfaction, his fingers lazily wandering over their slender waists beneath the rippling surface.

"Honestly... I haven’t been feeling very well these past few months..." Feiyan settled herself onto her husband’s lap, her full, shapely ass nestling against his groin, the soft, plump flesh molding around the firm contours of his body.

Her fingers traced lazy patterns across his strong chest, while Biyue, on the opposite side, mirrored the gesture along his broad shoulders.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Qingyi frowned.

What could be troubling her?

"Well... life has been good, I’ve been having a lot of fun with the girls and cultivating in peace, but..." Feiyan hesitated, her fingers stopping just above his heart. "Sometimes I feel like I’ve been useless to you."

Biyue, still nestled at his other side, nodded slowly, her head resting against her husband’s damp shoulder.

"I-I feel the same way..." Her voice came out low and shy.

"We worked hard together with the other girls to create a pill that would aid your cultivation, a perfect pill... but in the end, when we finally perfected it, you were already too powerful for it to be of any use."

"Meilin had big plans to market it and found a chamber of commerce to help you amass wealth, but... you are already so rich..."

"Qingxue wanted to leave here, wanted to fight alongside you, slay powerful enemies, and perfect her swordsmanship, but..."

And so Biyue continued, word after word pouring out, releasing everything she had kept locked away in her heart for so long.

Qingyi remained completely silent, letting her empty her heart against his.

None of them blamed Qingyi for any of it. They couldn’t blame him for cultivating too quickly, much less for being too powerful.

Still, it was hard not to feel useless.

Margareth, Seraphine, Sapphire, and Aeryn were always researching new spells, yet such arts never proved useful to him.

Celestia constantly honed her healing powers under Auranys’ guidance, but in the end, she always remained too weak to be of any use to him.

Biyue herself researched various poisons and always helped the other girls develop new miracle pills, but, again, by the time they finally completed a formula, Qingyi was already at a level where such a pill would add nothing to him.

They weren’t depressed, nor did they feel trapped.

They could gaze upon the celestial heavens through Qingyi’s eyes, thanks to his connection with Ruxue.

They had each other to train with and were always creating items that proved useful to one another.

But in the end, everything they prepared for one another was simply of no use whatsoever to Qingyi.

They were happy, yes, but still, deep in their hearts, the impossibility of truly being useful to their husband left a bitter aftertaste they couldn’t ignore.

Qingyi listened in silence, studying every shift in their expressions as the two women poured out their hearts.

Nearly twenty minutes passed before he finally spoke.

"I... I’m sorry," he replied at last, his voice carrying a weight that was hard to describe.

"It’s okay..." Feiyan smiled bitterly, pressing herself a little closer against his chest, her huge breasts flattening against the firm planes of his muscles. "It’s not your fault; it’s our lack of talent."

That wasn’t true. Qingyi knew that better than anyone.

"My cultivation doesn’t grow that fast because of my talent," he said, his voice taking on a firm tone. "You know that."

With a simple mental gesture, he opened the system interface and selected the option to enhance his cultivation.

His aura immediately surged, climbing to the fifth stage of the Celestial Origin Realm in the blink of an eye.

The air around the springs grew dense for a brief moment, his oppressive pressure rippling outward and sending tiny tremors across the water’s surface before everything settled once more.

Both of them already knew of his system’s existence and had a vague idea of how it worked, but witnessing it in action still left them awestruck.

"If you were to leave the world of the mind, each of you would be an incomparable genius, capable of becoming a core disciple of any sect in the northern region of the Celestial Sky."

"Rivers of admirers would follow you for your talent and beauty, and young masters from every great and powerful family would line up for the mere chance to propose marriage to either of you."

He paused briefly, calming his mind.

"I’d like to let you see the world outside, and honestly, if you insist, I’ll allow it, for I am your man, not your captor."

"None of you lack talent, none of you lack beauty. I simply grow so fast because I have an unfair advantage, not because you’re useless to me."

"I only keep you here because I know I’m not yet powerful enough to defend you, because I know that if a true power from the central region tries to take you, I won’t be able to protect you."

"I’m sorry, but your husband is a selfish and lustful man, a man who can’t even handle the mere possibility of losing you... Forgive this husband of yours."
