Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 591  Reunion, and Looming Danger

Whoosh!

Max rushed through the crowd, not caring if he bumped into someone. After just a few minutes, he arrived in front of his inn. Without stopping, he rushed to Emily's room. When he arrived in front of her, he finally stopped. Thump! Thump!

Taking a few deep breaths to calm violently beating heart, he gently knocked on the door. The reason he rushed over so suddenly after getting the message was because Emily had said she met… Lily.

Lily… although he never showed it, he missed her dearly, and even though he liked and cared for each of his women, he only loved Lily with all his heart.

Since the day he got the mission to reach the four-star realm, and realized she was in danger, he had been constantly worried about her, and wanted to go to the central plains and find her. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it with everything going on. Still, he never stopped trying to increase his strength and quickly breakthrough to four-star, so she would be safe.

Swoosh!

The door swung open. He looked past Emily, who opened the door, and saw a graceful figure in snow white robes sitting on the bed. She was as adorable, delicate, Innocent and beautiful as he remembered her. No, that was not right. She had become even more beautiful, and looked nothing short of an immortal fairy.

However, he could see she looked exhausted, and within her deep black eyes was a look of worry. Noticing this, Max felt his heart clench. He immediately rushed towards her, wanting to hug her, but before he could, she jumped off the bed, and flew into his embrace.

"Young master! How have you been? I missed you!" She cried with her head on his chest as she hugged him tightly.

Max returned the hug, and his eyes couldn't help moisten upon feeling her pure emotions. He tightened his hug, letting her feel his warmth, and stopped controlling his heartbeat, so she could feel it. Then, he answered, "I have been good, baby, and I missed you a lot too."

A radiant smile appeared on Lily's face when she heard this. She continued crying for a while to vent her pent up emotions. Max also didn't move, he stood there, hugging her.

Behind him, Emily watched this scene with an expressionless look on her face. But deep inside, she was feeling a mixture of strange emotions. After a few moments, she sighed in her heart, and left the room, letting the couple catch up.

…

Half an hour later, Lily finally stopped crying. Noticing this, Max opened his mouth, wanting to say something when Lily frowned. She sniffed his neck, and asked, "Young master… you were with a woman just now?"

'Oh shit!' Max cursed in his heart. He had already taken a bath in the bathroom attached to his private cabin in the auction house, and made sure to erase Claire's scent. So, he hadn't expected Lily to find out. Just how sharp her nose was? Or was it a woman thing?

His mind whirled and he quickly, but calmly replied, "Hm? I had an altercation with a female king rank mage in the auction house a while ago. Maybe you can smell her."

"You fought her? Why? What happened?" Lily worriedly asked while checking if he was injured.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Max stopped her, and smiled, "There was a little misunderstanding, nothing much." While saying this, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, I successfully diverted her attention.

What he didn't know was Lily was already sure he had sex with a woman. Truthfully, she was disappointed and hurt, but from the start, she knew she wouldn't be able to keep him to herself, and therefore, was open minded about it. Furthermore, she could tell he didn't lie when he said he missed her, and could feel his love for her. Just this satisfied her more than enough.

Max then led her to the bed, and they started talking about their experiences in the last few months. When Max described the dangerous situations he had been in, Lily felt her heart clench. When he told her something interesting, she became interested.

Similarly, when Max heard how she was forced to cultivate and was bored to death, he felt sorry for her.

"Young Master, I'm very happy to see you how much stronger you've become." Lily smiled. Even though she was just a four-star mage, and didn't have the ability to see through others' cultivation, she could still roughly tell he was a three-star mage, and not an ordinary one.

Max smiled in response, "Me too. I'm also happy to see how much you've progressed in these few months. It seems your master is quite good to you."

"Yeah. Although my master is strict, she is very good to me. She gave me all kinds of resources to cultivate. She even…" Lily happily told him everything her master did for her, and how good she was to her.

Although, seeing how her master sent Garima to keep them safe, Max already knew she was good to Lily, seeing the smile on her face as she sang praises of her, he knew despite being a cold woman, she was a very kind hearted, and caring person.

After talking for a while more, Max wore a serious expression and asked, "Lily, tell me, why are you here? From what Garima told me, you were supposed to be on the Ice Sovereign mountain."

Lily went silent upon hearing this question. She didn't want to worry him, but knew she could not not tell or lie to him. Therefore, after taking a deep breath, she explained everything from how her master was forced to send her to 'gain' experience with Oliver's group, how they were ambushed on the way, how Oliver saved and… how he wanted to rape her.

By the time she finished speaking, Max was boiling in rage and his killing had almost materialized, forming a field around him, which shocked Lily. At the same time, she felt her heart melt seeing how much he cared for her.

Still, she hurriedly grabbed his hand, and tried to calm him down, "Y-Young master, please don't be so angry. I'm fine, aren't I? And once we return to Ninam city, he won't be able to do anything to me with senior sister Garima there." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hearing this, Max smiled coldly, "From what you told me, he won't give us enough time to return to Ninam city. Isn't that why you wanted to stay in the Royal Palace?"

Lily lowered her head. That was right. At first, she wanted to rest the night and leave the Royal Capital in the morning to find the Garfield family. However, when she felt the premonition, and realized he had chased her down, she changed the plan even though she knew he wouldn't be able to harm her if she was with her senior sister Garima. She did precisely because she knew he wouldn't give her enough time to find her.

Max took a deep breath, and forcefully controlled his killing intent, "Don't worry. You'll be alright. With me here, I'll see just who can harm you."

"Young master…" Hearing this, Lily became worried. She didn't want to put him in danger and because of that, she was thinking of some excuse to leave. Max took her hand in his, and interrupted her before she could say anything, "I know what you are worried about, but don't. Even though your man isn't yet strong enough to shield you from every danger in the world, taking care of a measly five-star mage isn't too difficult."

"Young master…" Lily was still not convinced, and wanted to say something, but Max gave her a hard look and said, "Believe me!"

Lily shook, and tears appeared in her eyes. "I believe you, young master!" She nodded, but in her mind, she had already started planning what she was going to do.

Max could obviously tell she didn't believe him. How could she when he was just a three-star mage?

…

After a while, he was sitting cross-legged in his room, surrounded by multiple small hills of mid grade mana stones. By a rough glance, one could tell there were over 500,000.

He had sent Lily with Emily and told them to change their looks and hide behind the Royal Palace. From what she told him about Oliver's personality, he could guess he would barge into the Royal Palace to find her if he knew she spent the night there. If he didn't, he would try to locate her, and if she was near the Royal Palace, he would still think she was hiding inside, and therefore, would go there.

He also sent Ray and Shasha to wait in front of the Royal Palace. They were to inform Emily immediately once they saw Oliver head in. After that, Lily and Emily were to continuously change their location to buy him as much time as they could.

Of course, he wasn't sure if this trick would work, but he had no other choice but to try it.

'At most, I have a few hours to break through to the four-star realm.' He thought, and closed his eyes and started cultivating. He knew it would be difficult, very difficult in fact, because he first needed to fill his core with over 14,000 units of three-star mana. Then, he had to convert all 100,000 units of three-star mana to four-star, which would normally take people months, but he had to do it within a few short hours. Fortunately, he was no ordinary person. He had a superb cultivation technique that increased his cultivation speed several fold. Apart from that, he also had Nascent Energy, which would determine if he could complete this seemingly impossible task.

Time was ticking…
