Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 289: Chapter 142: Acquiring a New Talent!

...

Nighttime.

The five newly joined witches all gathered in Lily’s room.

After this crisis, they indeed had a lot to say.

"I’m sorry."

Lily looked at her sisters, her expression complicated.

If it wasn’t for her mistake this time, her sisters wouldn’t have been captured.

"Sister Lily, we don’t blame you," the witches hastily said.

Betty even said straightforwardly, "You shouldn’t have come to rescue us. If it weren’t for Lord Duke’s intervention, you would have ended up being executed like us."

"Never mind, it’s all in the past."

"Now with Lord Duke’s protection, we are all safe," Christine, Luo Wen, and Mandy hastily added.

The group exchanged glances, joy evident in their eyes.

The five of them talked for a long time before gradually falling asleep together.

That night, they could finally get a good night’s sleep.

Seeing the relaxed expressions on her sisters’ faces as they slept, Lily couldn’t help but smile. Then she walked to the window, determination gleaming in her eyes.

The next day.

The witches had breakfast together.

Afterward, Annie further explained the rules of the Wizard Castle.

Currently, the Wizard Castle was wealthy in resources, but one needed to contribute accordingly to exchange for them.

Finally, Annie emphasized that all resources came from Lord Duke.

This was a reminder to the witches that Lord Duke was the master of the Wizard Castle, and everyone must obey his orders.

The five witches promptly acknowledged this.

Subsequently, they shared the wizard heritage they knew.

In exchange, they received those wizard knowledge from the Wizard Castle. Whether it was the wizard knowledge, arrays, or potion heritage, it all left these witches in awe and increased their sense of belonging to the Wizard Castle.

Lily was reviewing the wizard knowledge but was noticeably distracted.

When David returned from cultivation in the Mist Forest, Lily went up to him.

"Do you need something from me?" David smiled.

"Can we talk in the study?"

"Sure," David agreed.

He was already interested in Lily.

Given Lily’s proactive approach, he naturally agreed.

Once inside the study, Lily kept her head down the entire time.

After a moment’s hesitation, she finally gathered the courage to say, "Lord Duke, I want to repay you for saving my life."

"Repay?"

David squinted his eyes, "How do you plan to repay me?"

Lily blushed, biting her lip as she said, "You can ask me anything."

This was almost an outright indication.

David stood up and walked to Lily’s side, gently lifting her chin.

Lily raised her head, a bit shy but also firm in her gaze.

In the next moment, David directly picked Lily up.

He was no gentleman. Since Lily had already indicated her willingness, he naturally accepted it without hesitation.

Lily had anticipated what would happen next, her whole body heating up as she buried her head in Lord Duke’s embrace, too shy to lift it.

David carried Lily out of the study and headed straight to his room.

Upon entering, he walked to the bed and placed Lily down.

Lily truly had no experience at all. Once on the bed, her entire body seemed stiff, so she closed her eyes, like an offering awaiting harvest.

And in just this way, it was precisely what affected David the most.

He gently helped Lily unbutton her clothes, his hands softly caressing her, delivering gentle kisses to help her relax.

"Lily, is this okay?" he asked lightly.

"Mm."

Lily opened her eyes and nodded shyly.

Subsequently, she shivered.

But she merely furrowed her brow, forcibly enduring it.

"Are you okay?"

"It’s... it’s fine."

Hearing Lily’s words, David then began to cultivate.

For a maiden’s first time, David was incredibly patient and gentle in his actions.

[You have completed a session of cultivation, acquiring the Instant Movement Talent]

As the system’s prompt sounded, David was very satisfied internally.

This talent piqued his interest, and coupled with Lily’s eagerness, it made him extremely happy, so he couldn’t help but cultivate again.

Lily remained silent throughout, which made David relax even more.

[You have completed a session of cultivation, Instant Movement Talent +520]

The excellent cultivation outcome invigorated David’s spirit. Standing by the bed, he pulled Lily over.

Three rounds of cultivation directly raised the Instant Movement Talent to middle level until Lily couldn’t help but utter a muffled groan, and only then did David relax contentedly.

"Lily, thank you for your hard work," he said softly.

"No, it wasn’t hard work," Lily shook her head.

Then she seemed a bit at a loss, unsure of what to do next.

David affectionately patted Lily’s hair, deciding not to continue.

Lily seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as she was best at combat, but truly inexperienced with such matters.

But in this embrace, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.

It was still daylight.

After some cuddling, the two finally left the room.

Fire Dance was already waiting outside.

Seeing Lord Duke come out, she curtsied and went in to tidy up.

Lily’s face was flushed red, and her walking seemed a bit awkward.

The majority of the witches could immediately tell what had transpired.

Liya glanced at Lord Duke, stepping forward to support Lily.

The other witches acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to discuss wizard knowledge, visibly excited at discovering new knowledge.

Watching the harmonious scene before him, David smiled satisfactorily.

After some words of encouragement to the witches, he headed to the Frost Wolf Forest.

He first boosted the Instant Movement Talent to a middle level, then began experimenting.

As he activated the Instant Movement Talent, he felt the spatial power in the world enveloping him, teleporting him to a distant place!

Since he had yet to master this power proficiently, each Instant Movement destination was random, leading him unwittingly to the Ghost Wolf Forest.

Upon activating Spatial Energy again, David suddenly felt a faint and hidden spatial fluctuation under his feet!
