Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 63 Sleeping Beauty

After Max went to the training hall for his last fight with Mina, Lilly opened her eyes with a jealous expression and murmured, "Why did she have to call him so early? If she didn't come, I would have enjoyed his embrace longer." After saying this, she blushed and started imagining all kinds of stuff.

It turned out that Lilly had woken up even before Mina came and was enjoying being hugged by him while playing with his hair.

Since Lilly started training under the guidance of Esther, they didn't have much alone time except on nights when she would have to sleep due to exhaustion. Initially, she didn't think of it much and was happy because he would encourage her, and she was also improving rapidly, making her happier.

But gradually, she started to miss her alone time with Max, and when one day, she gathered her courage and decided that she wouldn't sleep at night and entice him to do naughty things with her, he came exhausted and slept the instant he lied on the bed.

She thought that it was because he might have trained very hard and decided to put off her plan until the next day, but the result was the same. That's when she found out that he was training with Mina, who became his spar partner. Although she knew that Mina was his stepmother, she didn't know why she became jealous of her, which motivated her even more to become strong quickly. Because if she were strong enough, Max wouldn't have asked Mina to spar with him.

But at the end of the day, she was only that, jealous. She couldn't ask him to stop training with her. Therefore, she would wake up early and have him all to herself, even though she couldn't disturb his sleep because he had to train and cultivate during the day.

"I'll have to focus on increasing my mana pool and quickly break through to the two-star mage realm." She clenched her fists. She has recently broken through to the one-star mage realm. She could have broken through a lot sooner, but Esther advised her not to, and only focus on honing her magic spells and mana control which would be more beneficial to do early and give a good performance in the Academy entrance exam.

Now that her short training camp with Esther has ended and she told her that she could increase her mana pool by cultivating, and it would have no adverse effect on her body. Therefore, she decided to break through again in the remaining month before they had to participate in the academy exam.

Just when she wanted to get up from the bed, she heard someone coming through the hall and opening the door. She knew no one apart from Max would dare to open the door without knocking on the door. She quickly acted as if she was sleeping.

Max returned to the room after his fight with Mina, where the sleeping beauty greeted him. She looked very adorable, sleeping while hugging the pillow.

After closing the door behind him, he walked toward the bed and lied beside her and put his fingers on her face to put some stray hair behind her ear and caressed her soft cheek.

Lilly, who was acting asleep, felt his fingers caressing her cheek, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her pink lips. _​

Seeing the beautiful smile, Max brought his face closer to hers and gave her a small peck on her lips and then closed his eyes, trying to sleep again.

Lilly opened her eyes slowly when she didn't feel him move for a few minutes and saw that he had his eyes closed and was breathing evenly, which meant he was asleep.

'Why didn't you continue?' She complained in her mind and then stared at his handsome face sleeping soundly.

Although she complained and wanted him to continue, she knew why he didn't do anything more than the small peck on her lips. It was simply because he didn't want to interrupt her sleep as he knew she was also working hard and thus needed a good sleep.

Thinking this, a smile appeared on her face while her heart felt warm. 'I know you also want to do it but can't because we both have busy schedules. But don't worry, now that mother Esther has finished guiding me, I'll take things a little easy and make sure to please you when you return tonight.' As she thought this, her breathing became a bit rugged, and she became a little wet. Embarrassed, she bolted out to the bathroom without making any sound.

Max woke up in the afternoon. He took a bath and wore a white robe which fit his body size unlike before because he had gradually developed some muscles after increasing his vitality points and fighting daily, which was even more effective than working out in a gym.

He wanted to roam around the town to familiarise himself with this new world. When he and Lilly went to the market, he couldn't really enjoy himself because he was focused on buying things for Lilly.

He went to his room and went to ask if she wanted to go with him, but he didn't find her anywhere, and when he asked Amelia, he found that After Mina headed to her parents', Esther asked Lilly to accompany her to a nearby city.

"Little Max, you should let your little wife some free time too, or she would grow rebellious, hehe." Amelia patted his shoulder and giggled.

Max smiled wryly and said, "It's not that. I just wanted her to accompany me because It's been a long time since I last roamed around the town, so I want to explore it before going to the academy."

"Oh, If that's the case, why don't I accompany you today." Amelia asked.

"No, it's okay. I'll be fine by myself." Max turned her offer down. He wanted to see everything for what it is and not what people would show to them if she went together with him as most people know that she was the wife of Viscount of Claymore town.
