"So how am I going to be paid for my labors, my love~? This is quite the tedious job you have me doing..."

Rhefia stood above a mound of clay that sat in the middle of the empty dirt room, the Deerkin's hands resting just above the surface of the mound as she sent her threads of Earth Mana tunneling through the clay in measured segments.

I stood right beside her and watched as she evenly strengthened the clay, my idea of having her improve the basic material instead of the finished product coming after I thought about how much easier this would be and how much more efficient this would be.

Apparently, according to the recipes I found within the furnace I had placed nearby, a single pound of clay yielded me ten bricks, and to get a single five by five 'structure' piece - floor, ceiling, or wall - I needed twenty five bricks, at least to get a 'reinforced' version of the brick wall; the normal wall needed fifteen bricks.

I didn't really need to give them a test since the System gave me a numerical breakdown of what a 'reinforced' wall was, and according to the System it was 33% stronger than a normal wall, which was a significant increase in my books.

Anything above 20% was usually a really good buff, at least to me - and obviously sometimes something lower would yield far more, but that's just for something that already has a high base stat of some kind.

Glancing at my wife, I pursed my lips as I asked "What would you like to be paid, Rhefia? You already receive most things that you want each night...", which made the Deerkin frown as she continued her work, not letting my question distract her from evenly strengthening the clay.

"I... Well, I guess asking for a baby would be too much for what I am doing... Hm..."

"Yes, that is quite right."

Finishing up with this current mound, Rhefia watched as I gathered it all back up into my System before dropping a fresh mound in the same spot, with the same amount of clay residing in front of her.

Before she started, she looked towards me and then past me, where she saw Renna doing the same thing but with wooden logs instead of clay, which would then be turned into wooden planks that I would layer atop the brick to both insulate and 'soften' the room up.

I don't want anyone here to be living within a brick room, let alone my children, and considering they seemed to have a penchant for running around whenever they were playing and almost slamming into things anyways, the last thing I wanted them to run into was a brick wall.

As she continued to think, I appraised the clay in my inventory and nodded, liking what I was seeing.

[Earth Imbued Clay : Clay that has been strengthened by Earth Mana, making it stronger than average clay]

Quite the description I got, yes, but still it was proof that it had worked, since I had yet to see a System description that lied to me or was wrong in any way at all, so I was taking it at its word.

[Nature Imbued Wood Log : Wooden logs that have been strengthened by Nature Mana, making it stronger than average wood]

The same description just with a different material and different mana type was found on the wood, and I wondered how many other things I was going to need to empower sooner or later now that I had thought of creating things with these 'advanced' materials.

Would a furnace made from Fire Imbued Stone Bricks or something similar create a better furnace that, in turn, allowed me to more easily produce those 'advanced' materials on a larger scale?

Perhaps it would reduce the time needed to produce the usual recipes I was already making use of, or perhaps it would improve the chances of getting higher quality things made?

I still hadn't really sat down and made use of some of my crafting stations just yet, with the one that I particularly wanted to use more often being the Jeweler's Studio, where I could turn basic iron into silver and then into gold so long as I got lucky enough.

Then there was the obvious Forge that I needed to get back into, producing more weapons and armor from the mana imbued metals that we had to ensure we were well armed and armored for anything that might happen going forwards.

I really had so much to do, and yet I only wanted to lay in bed and have my family take turns using my body as they pleased...

Maybe I was inherently rather lazy?

I knew I was inherently lustful and a nymphomaniac - that was clearer than crystal considering the life I lived...

"Oh, I know! It's been awhile since I had two women sucking my cock at the same time, so how about you and the Duchess there give me some loving, hm~? Then I wouldn't mind letting the Duchess watch as I gradually change your mind on letting me impregnate you~! Or if you want, I could watch the two of you get it on~?"

Rhefia grabbed my butt and leaned down, kissing me before looking at Renna with a smirk, who had faltered for a moment with her mana as she heard Rhefia's suggestion to have a pseudo threesome - pseudo since it was a blowjob only that she was asking for.

"Well... that would be up to Renna, not me. Like I said, anything that you want, I already do for you anyways... It's hard to make a blowjob special, at least a blowjob from me..."

"Every blowjob you give is special, Astra, because each one feels better than the last~!"

Rhefia grinned at me before kissing me again, only to raise a brow curiously as she asked "Speaking of, wanna take a break real quick?", her hand still rubbing my bottom while her other hand dragged mine towards her crotch, where she showed me how hard she was.

I let out a 'reluctant' sigh and dropped to my knees, unbuckling her belt and swallowing her penis as soon as it was free, all while Renna watched us from the side.
