บท 36: Morning Talk
Adonis woke up before Lena and was now staring at the ceiling. He remembers back to last night and everything that happened; he proceeded only to have one thought.
'What the fuck happened?!'
Adonis was confused as he thought more about how this transpired.
'Lena lusted after me after only one date, and I proceeded to keep thinking about her constantly...This can't be a coincidence.'
'How would we even have such feelings for each other after one date, we didn't do anything unusual, right?'
Adonis kept thinking and remembered one thing that wasn't ordinary—the red string the fortune-teller gave them.
'The red string is no longer here; did it have some spell on it? But I used my senses to see if anything was there, and there wasn't anything. Just who is that fortune teller?'
Adonis decided he needed to go back and see who exactly they were. Lena made some noises catching Adonis's attention.
"Mmmm...morning, Adonis~"
"Good morning, Lena."
Adonis looked at Lena waking up and couldn't help but think she was cute. Lena got off Adonis's chest, looked down at him, and smiled.
"Did you enjoy last night~?" Lena teased as she caressed Adonis's face.
"One of the best experiences I had," Adonis answered earnestly.
"Glad you loved it. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go take a shower. Wanna come along~?" Lena said as she got off her bed.
Adonis looked at Lena's naked body and although tempted, decided not to join.
"I wish I could, but I know if I do we would go on to do it for hours and I eventually have to get back to my training," Adonis said disappointedly.
"C'mon, you trained for an entire month straight. Taking a few break days wouldn't hurt you."
"I know, but I want to be prepared for the Promotion Exam tomorrow."
The Promotion Exam was an event that happened every month. It is meant to evaluate a disciple's strength and to decide whether or not they are ready to go to the next rank. The minimum requirement to take the exam for becoming an inner core disciple is Foundation Stage 4-Spark. After that, you would need to fight an actual inner court disciple with an elder watching; if you defeat the inner disciple, you automatically become an inner disciple, but you can still pass if you show a good enough performance during your fight. Adonis is still an Outer Core disciple and had to become a Core disciple to take part in the All Sect tournament.
"I'm pretty sure another day of training won't make you super strong all of a sudden."
"You don't know that, I could have a sudden enlightenment if I train today."
Lena sighed at Adonis's persistence to train.
"Look, Adonis, this is coming from a person who saw how strong you were before the mission, you were already strong enough to beat a lot of Inner disciples before your Evolution, and now you would utterly destroy all inner disciples with everything that happened to you after the mission. Even I'm not 100% confident that I'd be able to beat you."
Adonis listened to Lena intently and took her words to heart. He decided to believe in Lena and pass up on training today.
"Good, now hurry up so we can fuck already!"
"...Do you even have a filter for that mouth of yours?"
"Huh, the fuck's that supposed to mean."
"Nothing, nothing"
Lena pushed Adonis into the bathroom and quickly shut the door behind her. From an outside perspective, you could only hear running water, the moans of two people, and a bunch of clapping sounds.
2 hours later,
Adonis came out of the bathroom with a slow walk and a tired face, while Lena came out looking shiny. Adonis dropped onto her couch and groaned from being tired, and Lena was gonna sit on top of him but Adonis stopped her.
"Why are you stopping me?"
"I'm tired right now, if you keep doing me like that my balls will shrivel up like raisins and I won't be able to spew anymore of my nectar in that penis fly trap of yours!"
"God! I get it! ...I don't want my favorite liquid to run out anyways."
"Glad we've come to an understanding."
"Anyways, what do you want to eat? I'm cooking."
"Oh, let me help you, and eggs are fine."
Adonis and Lena began cooking together, Lena would tease Adonis by bumping his hips or getting in front of him (Note: They are both still naked at this point) But in the end, they both enjoyed it.
They were now eating eggs together. Adonis had gone into thought about the red string and fortune teller again, and with that, he had remembered that they kept doing it without any sort of protection whatsoever.
"Lena..."
"Yeah?"
"Um...Do you take any birth control pills?"
"Oh! No."
Adonis began sweating profusely when he heard that. Lena smiled at his reaction and giggled a bit.
"Don't worry; I used my mana to make your semen infertile."
"Huuuaah, thank god!"
When a person reaches the Refinement stage, if they don't have a mana affinity already, then they can manipulate the mana inside their body to a certain extent. With their mana, they can use it for all sorts of stuff; one of those things is being able to make semen infertile by killing the sperm with it. For dual cultivators or cultivators that love sex, this is the most optimal option for them if they don't want to have children.
"What's with that reaction? You don't want to have any children with me~?"
"No, I'm just not prepared for it now," Adonis answered honestly.
"...Wait, you won't mind having a child with me?" Lena blushed at Adonis's answer.
"...Uh, yes, wait, I meant no! I mean!... Uuugh, I don't know. I wouldn't mind it, but it's also strange considering how fast our relationship is going."
"...Yeah...you're right..."
"..."
"..."
"...Wanna fuck?"
"Please!"
Lena and Adonis were able to get rid of the awkwardness by continuing their sexual activities that morning.

Tomorrow's nighttime came,
In the Inner Court, there were torches along the streets of the sect. There was a huge crowd filled with disciples around a raised platform. Today was the day of the Promotion Exam.
