Chapter 51

"Just take it. It's not useful to me" Calter said in a dismissive tone. It may sound untrue but these purified crystals are not really useful to him. He can directly absorb unpurified crystals after all without much side effects. He doesn't know why he can do it but who cares? It is a huge advantage and cheat of his, if it can make him grow stronger, he'll gladly accept it

"But--" Kence wanted to retort but Calter immediately made a "sshh" sound to stop him. "Me giving it to you means it won't affect me okay?"

Kence pouted his red lips and stared at the crystals with a complicated look on his face. "But these are too precious" Kence might not know what it is but since it came from the Patriarch himself then it must be precious and expensive

Calter chuckled at hearing Kence's words. What expensive? These ten Crystals are only worth one thousand Magic Crystals in total. It is a lot for normal people but to Noble Clans, it wasn't much

"If you don't accept it then I'll just throw it away" Calter threatened which was very effective to Kence. For the youth, these things are expensive how can he let his master throw it? That's simply a waste

"O-okay then" Kence was about to store it on his spatial ring when his master's voice interrupted him. "Use at least one now or else I'll really throw it away"

Kence pouted once again. Originally, he planned to just store it on his spatial ring and take it out whenever his master needed it. But who would have thought that Calter will ask him to use it right away?

From all the years the two were together, how can Calter not know what is going on in Kence's mind? He can read the latter like an open book

Kence sigh as this past month he learned how stubborn his master is. Since he knew his master won't stop until he really uses it, why prolong his suffering? He was also afraid that Calter will get angry at him

"Big Brother, I really don't know how to repay your kindness"

An expression of guilt flashed on Calter's face before he immediately returned his face back to normal. He's the one who cannot repay Kence no matter what he does, and now hearing such words from the youth filled him with guilt. But he doesn't want to ruin their night and subdued that guilt right away and returned to his normal self

"Then, you can kiss me and consider it as payment for these crystals" Calter grinned at Kence, without a suspense the latter blushed immediately. It was really easy to make him blush which Calter really like

"Big Brother, how can my kiss compare to these things' worth?" Kence said while chuckling a bit and treated Calter's words as a joke

Calter shake his head and clicked his tongue. "Oh baby, your kisses are worth more than any treasures in the world for me"

Kence turned to look at his stomach. He was wondering why it felt as if millions of tiny butterflies were flying inside him when his master called him "baby"

Calter raised his eyebrow wondering why Kence ignored his flirtatious words. Normally, Kence should be all red now. This immediately made Calter dissatisfied. But if he knew the reason why Kence ignored him, how will he dare be dissatisfied?

"Anyway, use the crystal now. I'll continue cultivating" Calter said and grab his clothes and wore it again on his body before sitting in a meditative position to cultivate

Kence's attention returned to the reality and picked one of the crystals. Since he cannot sleep without hugging his master, might was well use this time to increase his strength so that he can help Calter in the future

Kence's mind entered the purified crystals and slowly drawn the mana inside to his body and absorb it. The youth became shock at how fast the amount of mana inside him rose. He's already at the peak of Level 2 Magic Apprentice but it seems like he can have a break through tonight

But although Kence is talented in magic comprehension, the time he spend in cultivation was still too short. His current comprehension is still too low compared to the geniuses of powerful Clans. But with his own talent and the City Lord's help, he has a chance to be on above or equal standing with these geniuses

After a few minutes, Calter noticed that his Core already finished fully devouring three dungeon cores and his soul was strengthened by a bit

He only needs to devour a few before he can absorb another Dungeon Core. With a stronger soul, he can also absorb cores even if his willpower is a bit lacking

Soul strength and willpower was after all one entity and are both part of the soul. The pain from the dungeon cores will not be able to erased or destroy his willpower as long as his soul itself is sturdy

Calter immediately took three dungeon cores from his spatial ring and devoured it. Just like before, the cores dissipated into colorful lights and entered him through his forehead before his own core turned to digest them

The night passed with the two quietly cultivating side by side and Kence even broke through and become a level 3 Magic Apprentice

-----

The bluish moon in the sky once again become invisible and the sun shone with its warm light. The sunlight entered the two's room through the window and hit Kence's face

The youth opened his eyes and looked outside to see that the sun was already out. If one looked at Kence, you can see dark circles under his eyes. His face was a bit pale from the lack of sleep

Kence turned his eyes on Calter who was unbothered by the sunlight hitting his body. Kence was about to disturb Calter to either let him eat or sleep but remember his master's request

"Right. Master said there'll be times when he won't sleep or eat. But...isn't it too soon?" Kence looked at his master with worry before yawning and stretching his arms

Kence went out from the bed with a sleepy face before wearing some slippers. The youth washed his tired face first in the bathroom before exiting their room and headed to the kitchen

His master is still cultivating and he wants to prepare food when Calter wants to eat

While walking, Kence's back was a bit hunched as tiredness was visible on his every actions. He doesn't even notice the way the servants were looking at him

"Look, Young Master Kence looks so tired could it be...." one of the female servants said and her face turned completely red from all the scenes playing inside her mind

"You're right. But he doesn't look sore on his butt. The rumors…." another female servant said and just like the first one, her imagination run wild

"Then last night.... the Madame... saw...." the third servant said and the three let out a tiny squeal

They can only imagine the cute and innocent looking Kence pushing down his manly master on bed. The thought of the usual cold Calter taking it from behind and begging for more made these servants to not be able to fully stop themselves from screaming

Kence was too tired to bother about the sound he heard and just went on his way. The normal him will greet all the other servants he bumped into but his eyes were only focus on his road

The youth opened the kitchen's door and all eyes turned on him. These chefs naturally also heard the "rumors" and felt some admiration towards Kence

You can't blame these chefs though, of all the servants in the Clan they were the ones that suffered the most. Young Master Calter is mostly on his room or the open area for him to practice his spells. The third place that he always went was the kitchen

It is mandatory for him to be in the kitchen every morning and cook with Kence. These made the chefs to suffer a lot. Calter always ordered them to get out from the kitchen causing them to need to wake up so early and prepare the Madame and Patriarch's meal

Thus, hearing that Calter is the bottom filled them with ecstasy! They were even a bit sadistic and wished that Kence was rough in bed

The chefs were about to exit the kitchen but they didn't saw the feared Young Master Calter. The only one present this morning is the "top" Kence who looks extremely tired

"Young Master Kence, is the Young Master Calter not with you?" The head chef asked and he find it hard to conceal his glee

Kence nodded his tired head and answered "He's still in his room"

He's still in his room.... he's still in his room.... he's still in his room

These words repeated on the chef's mind and some even squealed on the spot. Their admiration to Kence rose a hundred percent because of his words

Kence knitted his eyebrows and was confused why these chefs are acting like this. He didn't know that his words were very misleading since a hot piece of news were gossiped by the servants

The chefs thought that Kence did it with Calter too hard last night causing the latter to not be able to get up in the morning. The chefs imagined Calter's sore back and grinned happily

For them, Kence did them a great favor and taught Calter a good lesson!

If Calter knew what these chefs were thinking, what would his reactions be? It will sure be an interesting one and he might even ponder how he will kill the chefs

"Kyaahh, Young Master Kence you sure hid deep!" The vice chef said in her girly voice. She can't believe that someone with Kence's look will be a beast in bed

The woman's high pitch tone irritated the tired Kence but fortunately for her the youth is not like Calter who will lash out at her. Kence only gave them a slight smile without saying anything

He can't understand the chefs' actions and words and since he's extremely tired he decided not to bother with it

"Hm, I'll go cook for the Young Master now" Kence said before walking on the ingredients' storage and thought of what he should cook. Maybe because his mind was not at its peak, it made deciding harder than normal

The chefs were really the 'gossipy' type and seeing Kence like that just made the misunderstanding to grow

"Young Master Kence, I think it's better to cook soft foods like rice porridge for Young Master Calter. Soft foods are easier to eat and digest, it is the best for the current state of Young Master" the head chef suggested

Their dissatisfaction with Calter was superficial after all. They are already satisfied that the youth is 'sore' now from last night's activity. They are not heartless and now wished to help their master

Kence's eyes lit up with realization and nodded his head. "Thank you" Kence said and picked the ingredients he needed

The head chef smiled at Kence before glaring at the other chefs around "What are you doing? Help our benefactor!" He muttered and the other chefs scrambled away to get all the equipment Kence needs

They didn't dare volunteer to cook or help Kence. The last time they did so just made them to be on the master's bad side. They feared that with Calter's current state they will get fired immediately

The youth was handled too roughly by his lover last night yet his lover was not the one who cooked breakfast for him, just how awful will one feel because of that?

Kence happily accepted the chefs' help and appreciated it.

Although he's tired but he wants to be the one that cooked for his master. For him, his master gave too many things to him already and this is the only way he can think to repay that kindness

Even if the chefs offered to cook on his place, no matter how tired he is, he won't let them. Also, the thought of other people cooking for Calter made Kence a bit uncomfortable
