Bab 36: Ning'er's Disease
(A.N. I recently went back to my first few chaters and damn I wasn't good. I'm surprised y'all stuck around after that prologue. Guess the promise of A waifu gacha system was too much for your weak minds.)
Finally, Adam was able to make his way to the mall. Thankfully, he wasn't late although he had been delayed many times. He saw the beautiful orange-haired woman sitting on a bench outside of the mall. Many people, mainly men, were checking out the attractive-looking woman seemingly waiting for someone. Many men tried to approach her for her number but were shot down without mercy.
Adam waved at her and walked up to her.
"Sorry, I wasn't here as early as I wanted to be." He apologized. He didn't expect to be held up so much, although he knew that Ning'er would probably see this as an excuse.
"It's alright. May I ask why you've requested me to be here?" She asked. Ning'er wanted to quickly refuse his confession and go home where she'd try to handle her cultivation and sickness by herself.
"I know about your Arctic Disease, and I think I know how to heal it, over a cup of coffee of course." He said. Her face both lit up and sunk into despair. She was excited that of the small possibility that he may be telling the truth but frowned because she knew it was infinitely unlikely he had the cure, even the best doctors of the world hadn't found a solution after all.
"Even the best doctors in the world couldn't find the cure, what makes you think you can?" Her voice slightly trembled, she felt as if she was being teased by this young man.
"I have the ability. You can either trust me and be cured, or you can walk away and always wonder if I was telling the truth. Now, what will it be?" He gave her options. She became very hesitant in accepting or declining. She still didn't know if he had any alternative goals. She soon steeled herself.
"Okay, please cure me. If you try anything suspicious I'll end you." She said with a fierce expression. Ning'er lead him to a love hotel, although it was embarrassing, it was the only place nearby that neither would be interrupted or distracted. Adam led her to the bed where he told her to lie down, it would be painless but he needed a full view of her body. As skeptical as she was, she complied and let him work his magic.
Adam had carefully planned this. Every night before bed, the harem and himself would go and complete a mission. Because of this, he had prepared a healing spell that counter-acted diseases for this moment. His hand made contact with her back and she lightly moaned. It was obvious that Ning'er wasn't very accustomed to being touched, much less by a man. Adam used the spell, the mana flowed through her body and alleviated her congestion.
She soon rose. She couldn't feel the previous chill that invaded her body. She was rejuvenated. Ning'er leaped into a hug with Adam, tears streaming down her face. The illness that had been haunting her for her whole life had finally been dispersed. She could feel the warmth that Adam's body gave her, she subconsciously drifted further and further into his hug. After a minute or two of crying, she noticed that she was in his embrace, rather than trying to run from it, she accepted it.

He allowed her to remain in his embrace for as long as she needed to. Almost 20mins passed until Ning'er finally left his arms, her eyes were still red and tears were still exiting her eyes but she was much calmer than at the beginning.
"Thank you, Adam. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me." She said as she went back into a hug. Being alleviated of a cruse that had haunted her whole life, she felt extremely indebted to him.
"Is there anything you need? I'll be sure to do my best to return the favor, although nothing I can do would be of equal value." She offered. Ning'er's mind was in utter disarray, the only two thoughts that clouded her head was happiness and a feeling of indebtment.
"There isn't anything you have to repay, I did this because I wanted to. If you really want to repay me, have fun with your fresh new life." He said. The only thing that she could offer to him that was worth anything to him was her love and that would come in time.
"Anyway, I have to leave. Have fun cultivating." Adam said with a smile before leaving. Ning'er simply sat there with a beautiful smile on her face.
Adam recalled that over the past few days within missions he had collected 10 dream stones. His previous balance before multi-summoning the last time was 140, it then reduced to 90. After grinding he received 10, now he has a total of 100.
(A.N. Sorry, can't get enough of these clean numbers. Even if I need to bullshit it in order to satisfy my tiny brain.)
He decided that once he got home and greeted his girls, it was time for another multi-summon. The current list of targets were; Mikasa, Natasha and Ning'er. Everyone else he had his eyes on such as Sae, he didn't have a reason to approach them, therefore progress would stagnate for a while.
He skipped home with light steps before he was stopped by a red summoning circle on the ground. A busty silver-haired woman emerged from the circle and approached him. She bowed respectfully.
"My name is Grayfia. I am the wife of Lucifer Sirzechs of the Gremory family." She said. Her maid outfit couldn't properly contain her charm as a devil, it radiated from her in all directions. 'Too bad she's taken' he thought. Then the largest light bulb he had ever thought of lit up inside his head.
'Grayfia was a part of the game. What would happen if I summoned her? Would she instantly fall in love with me in the real world? Would a second Grayfia from a different timeline be summoned?' Dozens of thought filled his head as he tried to maintain his poker face. Noticing that she was curious as to why he wasn't replying, he snapped himself out of it.
"Sirzechs is the brother of Rias I presume? Why does he need me?" He questioned. Adam seriously couldn't think of a reason that he would be calling upon his right now. He hadn't seduced his sister or anything.
"Unfortunately, I wasn't notified of the reason." She replied. Either she was lying because they had malicious intentions or her husband was as dull as Adam thought he was. The latter was far more likely, Adam began pitying the silver-haired woman in front of him. Nevertheless, he stood in the summoning circle with her and they were transported to the underworld.
They appeared in an office before Sirzechs. Grayfia walked over and stood next to him. He was dressed in a gold cloak with red borders, his armor was also made of gold and ruby.
"Hello Adam, I don't believe we've been introduced to each other." Sirzechs said. He could hardly hide the sound of the armor clanking even while sitting completely still.
"We haven't indeed." Adam simply replied. Sirzechs was slightly put off by his careless response, he was talking to Lucifer after all.
"I'd like to formally apologize on behalf of all of the three factions for not finding out of your imprisonment soon enough to take action. Although I'm glad that you were able to escape it so swiftly." Sirzechs said with a smile. Adam knew that they had long known of his imprisonment. They simply wanted to test him to observe his response to that kind of pressure.
"It's fine. If I really cared so much I'd simply massacre my way out." Adam was now munching on his favorite apple. The devil couple were dumbfounded by his attitude but nonetheless remained with a poker face.
"Also, heaven sent an invitation to you. Every 6 months, all three factions would gather and have a party, the next party is in 3 days. They invited you as they recognized your strength. You are only allowed to bring one other with you however." He concluded. Adam simply nodded in response. He waved them goodbye as he copied their summoning circle to teleport back to his house.
