Chapter 249: Eating A Big Pile Of Rank 3 Mana Cores
-----
[Day 141]
That was a very intense night. I don"t like how much I"ve begun talking about doing it with Benladann, but I suppose that there could be some interest in it more than others.
Thankfully, this time, I didn"t wake up as late as other days, finding Benladann sleeping nude at my side had become quite the common place now. I don"t know what she might think of doing it so intensively every night, but at some point, we should stop being so pa.s.sionate, right? At that time, we"ll finally calm down and settle peacefully as a pair of old lovebirds…
Or will we continue as hard as every night for the rest of our lives?! Well… Our bodies are supernatural so they can certainly sustain it… There is no better pairing for a dragon than an ice giant, both races have tough and powerful bodies, so mating becomes possible- Ahem, anyways, I inspected Benladann"s belly.
Aside from those beautiful abs, which are slowly growing softer due to her getting pregnant, which ends distributing the muscles and stretching them slowly around, the baby had grown bigger in just a few days.
It is definitely no longer a few cells, it had developed into a full embryo already, the size of a human finger though, but it is there. Growing slowly. It even has two tiny eyes, resembling small dots.
So precious… This is my baby…
I can"t see if it is a boy or a girl yet, but I"ve heard that at first embryos are all females and then they define if they will be girl or boy through genes, I think.
Anyways, it looks like a red-colored embryo, but the tail it has is oddly large, it is also growing two protuberances over its tiny head. Perhaps those are my dragon tail and horns? Hopefully, its horns are not so developed when birth, so it won"t damage its mother"s womb… Well, if that ever happens, I will find a way to solve it.
But still, as a man that has never thought about building a family before, this really excites me. Seeing a tiny baby slowly grow inside of my beloved Benladann is like the wildest dream come true…
"We are really a family now, you and Benladann… I can"t wait for you to come to this world to meet us and everyone else…" I whispered to her belly.
"D-Drake?"
Benladann suddenly saw me talking to her belly.
"Ah… I-I just woke up!" I said.
"O-Oh… Ugh… I am a bit dizzy… W-What happened last night? I can"t remember…" she said.
She doesn"t remember her last night self? I guess, I understand it, she was drunk and all…
Drunk Benladann might be her s.e.xiest version so far, but cla.s.sic Benladann is still the best.
"W-We had a lot of loving… You were a bit drunk and kind of forced me into it, but I don"t regret it." I said.
"I forced you?! S-Sorry…" she sighed.
"It doesn"t matter, I like when you act dominant… Ah, I guess I shouldn"t have said that."
I think I said something bad.
"Ohh?" she said, as a smile emerged on her lips.
Wait… hold on…
No… we already did it a lot!
"B-Benladann?"
"Fufu… Then let me dominate you, Drake… Don"t worry, I"ll be gentle…"
"But we should go take a bath…"
"R-Right! Sorry, I was just teasing you…" said Benladann.
"Teasing me? Well, I can"t help but like it, but hold on to it for a bit…" I sighed.
"Hehe, let"s do it in the bathroom then!"
"…You seem to like it a lot."
"Don"t you?"
"I can"t deny that I love it."
"Then~?"
"Fine… But let"s not take that long. Promise me!"
"I promise you! Now let"s go!"
Benladann held my hands as she ran completely nude with me, and we dived into our room"s bathroom.
As expected, we ended spending over 1 hour on it, more than I wanted!
Sigh…
When it was around 4 pm, we were finally ready for lunch, I guess, it was too late for breakfast.
And for lunch, aside from delicious food made by my mother-in-law and her team to chefs, there was a big and tasty pile of Rank 3 Mana Cores… Fufu, I am eating them all.
Benladann said "go on" without any trouble, I could have perfectly split them and make her some potions, but she wanted me to eat them all. She was very considerate. Even though she killed a lot of the monsters herself too, and those should belong to her… but she gave them to me. What a lovely wife.
I glanced at the pile of mana cores, and I couldn"t help but feel hungry. I devoured them all in large quant.i.ties, it felt like eating chips by how crunchy they were, each one gave me a boost of power that really made it different from Rank 2 Mana Cores, oh yes, give me more of that…
FLASH!
When I finished the whole pile, I couldn"t help but smile. That was good, way too good. I ended eating it all rather frantically, it was THAT good. It felt as if I was being reborn out of eating these things, my stats began to rise quickly and so did my cultivation, and even more, I got a bunch of skills.
Monsters gather their magic and abilities inside their mana cores, it"s the same for people of various races, when I ate the bandits, I only felt the true difference when I ate their Mana Cores.
Well, it is the same here, you gotta eat those crunchy bite-sized mana cores to get the full experience and getting the true rewards of extra new skills.
The monster"s mana cores were mostly of Ogre Giants, Ogre Warrior variants that reached Rank 3, Shadow Crows Leaders, the Giant Electric Eel at Rank 3, and the pair of Giant Catfish King and Queen, whose Mana Cores were the shiniest.
The result was surprising, my aura began to overflow with new power… It has been some time since I had such high-quality Mana Cores, oh G.o.d, how I missed the feeling of gaining power in my main mana core…
