Son Of Chaos

"Do you understand the difference, Master?"

Ivan nodded . It wasn"t hard to understand the difference, since the second one was clearly a command, while the first was a polite question .

"Good . Then what"s the difference with: "Celine, would you please give me a ma.s.sage? ""

It was once again the same question, but withing the imitated voice, there was an undertone of dominance, making it feel less like a question but more like a command . Although it was the same words, the effect was different .

"It"s the tone . ", Ivan answered . "By using a tone as if there is only the answer "Yes", it changes it from a question to a command . "

Susan nodded satisfied . "Good . That"s exactly right . Often, the important thing isn"t the choice of words but the tone of your voice . It can change a question into a command or the other way around . Now try it . "

"Celine, could you please give me a ma.s.sage?", Ivan tried to say this sentence in the same tone as Susan, but he still didn"t quite manage it . It still seemed more like a question than a command .

"It"s still lacking but for a first try not bad . ", Susan said . She then asked Celine, "I"m guessing you will be Ivan"s personal servant, right?"

"I don"t quite understand what it means to be a personal servant, but I guess so . "

"Don"t worry, I"ll teach you . ", Susan told her gently . It was completely different from how she treated Ivan .

"Now for servants, it is quite easy . Don"t interrupt your master, if not to stop him saying something wrong or stupid . Obey his orders, as long as they don"t infringe on your basic rights . Always be respectful . "

"Ok . ", Celine nodded to show that she had understood . "Then how should I address him? Is there a norm or can it be chosen freely?"

"The standard is "Master", but you can also use one of his t.i.tles . ", Susan explained .

"Then I"ll call him "Master" . ", Celine decided .

"But only in public . ", Ivan reminded her . He was unwilling to have her call him "Master" all his time . Instead, he preferred their current relaxed and comfortable interactions .

"Sure that"s fine . ", Susan agreed . "It"s common for most personal servants to call their master different in public and private . They are after all one of the closest people to each other .

But for now, you should try to talk in private as you would in public so that you can train and don"t make a mistake . "

"Makes sense . ", Ivan agreed .

"Didn"t you want a ma.s.sage?", Susan asked Ivan, making the other two realize that they were still standing around in the living room .

"Right . ", Celine exclaimed . "When we went shopping last time, I bought everything required . And I also had one of the rooms refurbished so it would be more comfortable for a ma.s.sage . "

She then led them towards one of the rooms .

"Ma.s.saging is always a good skill for a personal servant to have . ", Susan praised before asking curiously, "So have you only learned it or do you have a skill?"

"I have a skill, "Basic Heavenly Ma.s.sage" . ", Celine answered while hiding how she got the skill .

When she heard the skill name an expression of astonishment appeared on Susan"s face . "Really? You really have this skill?", she asked excitedly while grabbing Celine"s shoulders and starting to shake her .

Celine was surprised by the fervor shown by the other woman . "Yes . But could you please stop shaking me?" She was completely helpless against Susans shaking . Even if she used all her strength which had increased drastically after changing her race, she was unable to stop her from shaking her .

Susan hurriedly let go of her . "Sorry . I was just too excited . Do you even understand what this skill is?", she then asked .

The other two shook their heads . Wasn"t it just a ma.s.sage technique?

"No wonder you don"t see it as something special . ", Susan took a deep breath .

"First of . Every skill that has the word "Heaven" in its name is a great skill . ", she said, "Didn"t you read the description? Especially the part about stimulating the cells?"

"So?", Celine looked at her in incomprehension .

"So? That means it can strengthen your cells . And this is independent of your cultivation since it is based on a different system . So a regular ma.s.sage can make one"s bodily strength be higher than those of one"s peers . And this is something extremely important in the upper realm . Especially with the rarity and difficulty of body refining skills . "

"Huh? Aren"t we training in body refining skills?", Ivan asked puzzled .

"Yes and no . Although technically the flesh, blood, and pathway refining realms are body refining realms, where the body gets refined, it is more of a transformation of the body to better support the gathering and usage of Qi . The normal way after that is to collect Qi and use it for skills . At that point, the body refining has more or less finished and any additional bodily strength comes from the Qi flowing through it .

But besides that, it is also possible to further strengthen the body itself . The cells will then generate a new power which is similar to Qi . "

At that point, Ivan interrupted her, "You mean Vital Qi?"

"Yes . How do you know about it?"

"Because of my bloodline . ", he honestly responded .

"Mmm . Makes sense . " Surprisingly she didn"t ask about her bloodline . Instead her expression seemed as if she had expected it, making him wonder if she knew about his bloodline . And if she did, how .

"So anyway . Even for those with the right bloodline, it is hard to continue training their bodies . So since just training Qi seems more effective most people only focus on that . Coupled with this neglect as well as the difficulty itself, good body refining skills are rare and hard to get . So something like the "Heavenly Ma.s.sage" ma.s.sage, which can provide the same effect is very valuable .

And although its the basic variant, don"t look down on it . If you would give me a message as well I would be truly thankful . "

"Oh so how would you show your thankfulness?", Celine asked . She would always try to get the best out of everything . And listening to Susan she found her to be even more knowledgable than her, so she should have some good things .

"How about I give you my body?"

The response shocked them . "What the . . . ?", he couldn"t stop himself from saying .

Celine too looked at her askant .

Seeing their skepticism Susan smiled wryly . "She wasn"t surprised by their reaction . "

"Well, that wouldn"t be for just some ma.s.sages but also something from Ivan . So how about it? You give me those two things and I"ll give you my body?"

They looked at each other in confusion .

"Um? What do you want from him? And why should we want your body?", Celine asked hesitantly .

They had already arrived in the room . In the center was a ma.s.sage table with a small one beside it with some flasks, with liquid in them, on it . There was also a small area divided off, which was for changing and a shelf with comfortable white towels . There was also a small seating area with just a few chairs .

Now Susan sat down on one of them . "First of all, I have a spiritual bloodline and if I guess correctly that is exactly what he needs . Second, I could speed up your training . And as for what I need from him, that"s some base essence and some blood essence . "

"Base essence?", Ivan asked surprised . "I don"t think that"s possible . " Although blood essence was important as well, it would slowly regenerate and he currently had a full amount . But his base essence was currently damaged and giving something of it away would make the damage even worse .

Seeing his defensive position, Suan laughed softly . Her voice regained her silken quality, which always managed to make him uncomfortable .

"I know . I can see that your base essence is currently damaged . But even if it wasn"t it is much too weak and there is no way that you could provide the amount I would need . Maybe you will have enough if you reach the late Earth Realm . "

"So it is something for the future . ", he sighed in relief . Although he truly required someone with a spiritual bloodline, so he could stabilize his bloodline, if it was this far into the future than he didn"t have to get into this mess .

"Not quite . Although I didn"t plan to talk about this with you yet, we might as well do it now . ", Susan said while pulling out sheets of paper . "I want to make a contract with you . I will give you my body as well as a method to fully stabilize your bloodline with it and in exchange, you will give me the amount of base essence and blood essence I need after you reached late Earth realm .
