n“Mm?” Although Maria kept her voice down, Rima, Belen and Leticia still heard her and revealed astonished expressions.

nAfter spending almost a day with her, they knew she had a very shy and timid personality and would never have the courage to speak such words. Thinking further, they understood why she was acting so boldly; it was to thank Max for helping her parents.

nAll three ladies revealed envious expressions. It was especially true for Rima. She had been planning to spend all night with him because even though Max hadn’t explicitly told her, seeing how he was preparing everything, she knew after meeting her master tomorrow; he was planning to return to the academy.

nSo, tonight would be her last night with him. Therefore, she didn’t like it when she heard her ask him to stay the night with her. However, she knew she couldn’t be selfish in this matter. So, she just sighed and waited to hear his decision.

nLeticia, although felt a tad bit envious, she didn’t mind it much since she would leave for the academy with him and would have a lot more chances to spend time with him.

nBelen, on the other hand, didn’t show much emotion on her face. It has already been such a long since she last spent some quality time with him, so a few days wouldn’t matter much to her.

nAfter hearing such an enticing offer, how could Max say refuse? He immediately nodded. “If that’s the case, I’ll stay here tonight.”

nMaria’s cheeks turned crimson in embarrassment when she thought of what they would do all night in sheets. Her heart started beating faster and louder, and she felt a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

nMax’s little dragon hardened when he saw how adorable she looked with that bashful expression. He wanted nothing more than to grab her, barge into the other room, and do her all night long.

nHowever, since her parents were present here, he knew he couldn’t act however he wanted.

nHe took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

nSeeing him agree so readily, Rima inwardly sighed. However, she wasn’t too disappointed since she had already expected this.

nSuddenly, a thought struck her mind. ‘Maybe I should also stay here. I know for a fact that Maria wouldn’t be able to handle him all night and if he knows I’m also here, he would come to me’ As she thought this, a smile appeared on her face and she decided not to return to the city lord’s mansion tonight.

nIt was as if Maria’s mother had heard that their daughter had invited Max to stay. She glanced out of the window before saying, “Young sir, it’s almost night now. If you don’t mind, why don’t you guys stay in our humble abode tonight and let us thank you for healing us and celebrate your and our daughter’s relationship?”

nSince Max and Rima had already decided to stay, they had no trouble accepting their invitation. Leticia and Belen, on the other hand, politely declined and decided to use the best cultivation environment in their rooms back in the city lord’s manor.

nLittle Arya wanted to stay, but she knew her mother would get angry if she stayed since she hadn’t told her yet, so she had to return with Belen and Leticia.

nAfter one hour, Maria prepared dinner. Since they were poor, the food was normal. Maria and her parents were worried that it wasn’t up to Max’s and Rima’s standards. When Max and Rima took their first bite, all of them looking at them nervously.

nMax and Rima knew what they were worried about. So, they had decided not to show any expression that suggested the food was not good. However, as they took their first bite, to their surprise, they realized that even though the dishes were common; they were very delicious.

nSeeing that they didn’t seem to dislike it, Maria and her parents sighed in relief and started eating.

n…

nAfter dinner, Maria’s parents prepared two rooms, one for Max and one for Rima and Maria, while they went to sleep in the last room.

nIn their room, Rima and Maria were sitting facing each other. Maria was facing down, her face red, while Rima had a teasing expression on her face.

nSeeing her act all shy, Rima chuckled, “If you always act so embarrassed in front of him, he wouldn’t feel comfortable making love with you, you know.”

n“Ah!” Maria let out a nervous cry and shyly asked, “T-Then, big sister, can you tell me what should I do?”

n“Don’t be too stiff and go with the flow and remember, he likes it when…” Rima whispered the last part in her ear. Maria blushed furiously when she heard what Rima said.

nSeeing her reaction, Rima giggled in amusement and patted her shoulder, “Quickly, take a bath and go. He must be waiting for you.”

nMaria was so embarrassed that she couldn’t say anything in reply and just ran off to the bathroom.

nRima was amused and muttered, “No wonder he likes her so much.” She then sighed and sat cross-legged to meditate to calm her slightly agitated mind.

nA few minutes later, Maria came out of the bathroom and, seeing Rima meditating, she sighed in relief and tiptoed out of the room and went to Max’s room.

nKnock! Knock!

nShe softly knocked on the door and waited. A moment later, the door opened and Max, in a white bathrobe, appeared in front of her.

nWhoosh!

nBefore she could say anything, he pulled her inside and shut the door.

nHe leaned her against the door, put one hand around her waist and pulled her lower body in his while his other hand supported her back and head and kissed her flower petal like lips.

nMm~

nMaria was caught off guard and her body froze like a statue. It was only when she felt him sucking her lips that she realized what was happening and let out a soft moan.

nRemembering ‘big sister Rima’s’ pointers, she put her hands around his waist and glued her whole against his and tried to respond to his kiss.
