The next morning, Rean was feeling exhausted, both in body and mind. He had to control his own urges for a certain part down there to not go out of control. At the same time, he had to recover his Spiritual Energy more than twenty times, while not stopping assaulting the Umbra Energy.

It reached a point where even Roan contacted him, complaining that he was using too much of his Dark Element/Energy. Rean could only grit his teeth and say that he had no other choice. Nevertheless, Rean convinced Roan when he said that he would get a lot of Sect Points when he was over. ​​

Finally, the last strand of Umbral Energy was wiped out of Elder Tiria's body, completely wiping out the source of the problem. If she had to participate in a battle later, there shouldn't be an issue.

Rean then fell on his butt as he gasped for air. His clothes were drenched with sweat too. He wasn't the only one, though. Roan Dark Element/Energy destroyed Life Force, so an entire night resisting the Dark Energy continually entering her body was a tough ordeal. If not that Rean's Light Element/Energy was helping to protect her body, she didn't know if she would resist it to the end. Tiria would rather go into a Death and Life situation than repeat it again. Because of that, her entire body was as drenched with sweat as Rean's one.

Rean didn't notice it before since he was concentrating on ignoring the soft feeling in his hands and controlling the Elemental Energies. But after he fell back a little, he noticed that Elder Tiria's body lines were clearly visible through her robe. Besides, she still hasn't covered her right boob. Rean then looked away as he suggested.

"Cough, cough. Elder Tiria, we are done with it. You should seriously change your clothes."

Elder Tiria was a lot more worried about the Umbral Energy, so her entire attention was on it the whole time. Even after Rean finished, she kept using her Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Sense to check if the Umbral Energy was really gone. Because of that, she completely forgot about her exposed breast and didn't even notice how her body was almost completely visible because of the sweat in the clothes.

Tiria opened her eyes and looked down. Her face went red once more as she quickly covered her breast. Right after, she disappeared in a flash. A few seconds later, she reappeared in front of Rean again. This time, she was using clean clothes. Of course, she didn't have time to wash her body or anything like that. So her hair was still messy, and the scent of sweat still lingered.

Rean wasn't happy with anything like this. After all, he could die at any moment to cover the secret.

Elder Tiria looked deeply at him. It looked like she was struggling to make a decision. On one side, he touched her and saw her body naked (well, almost). On the other side, it was she who asked for it. Not to mention that he really saved her ten or so years of work in one night.

In the end, she remembered that it was also Rean who helped Nana, her Snow Crane. It would really be too unfair, not to mention that Rean was still just a kid. Besides, she still found it quite funny when she teased him last night.

"Sigh... Listen, kid. Last night never happened, do you understand?"

Rean's eyes lit up as he nodded vigorously. He also did his best to prevent eye contact with Elder Tiria and kept looking away.

"Don't worry, I want to forget that such a thing happened more than anyone else. I would wipe out my memories at this very moment if I could."

Elder Tiria's expression immediately went dark!

*Pah!*

Suddenly, Rean was hit on the back of his head, much for his confusion.

"Are you saying that touching me and seeing my body is a horrible memory?!"

[Hahahahahahaha! You really are helpless!]

Rean felt like crying; no, he was really tearing up already! Sister Orb's laugh didn't help either!

However, he at least understood that the way he put his words could really lead to such a misunderstanding. That being said, he immediately tried to correct himself.

"Of course not! The perfect shaped body curves and the 'oh so soft and warm' feeling that I still can't forget in my hands was incredible! Truly! Believe me!"

*Pah!*

"Are you courting death, pervert?!"

Elder Tiria's face felt so hot that she couldn't even look at the kid in front of her anymore.

Rean, on the other hand, wanted to die already.

'Just what you want from me, woman?! Besides, who would court that ice block?'

Never underestimate a 41 years old virgin soul!

"Cough, cough. Don't worry, I won't open my mouth. By the way, I better go to the Demon Beasts Faction. If elder Javiu notices that I didn't appear right after what we talked about yesterday, he might get some ideas. It would be bad for both of us, especially me since I'm the one who could die at any moment."

Suddenly, Elder Tiria's powerful spiritual energy enveloped Rean, just like when he was 'kidnapped' last night.

"Oh shit!"

That's everything he could think. In the next second, he was dragged through the skies at high speeds, once again almost passing out due to the extreme G-Force. When his brain finally came back to the right place, he was standing right in front of the Demon Beasts Faction Area. No one noticed how he appeared there, though.

As for Elder Tiria, she was nowhere to be seen.

'FREE! I'm finally free! I survived! Hahahahaha!'

It was then that an intense feeling of fatigue assaulted Rean's body once more. He immediately sat on the ground and took a few Spirit Stones from his bag. But it was also at this moment that he noticed. His bag was filled to the brin with Rank Two Spirit Stones! Not only that, but there was another one attached to his robe on the other side as well.

'1000 Rank 2 Spirit Stones! Great! At least she knows how to repay one's favor.'

It was then that Rean heard a voice coming from the Demon Beast Faction.

"Rean! You are finally here."

It was none other than Elder Javiu.

"Come with me, there are a few injured demon beasts that I would like you to try to heal."

Just like that, Rean's second duty day taking care of Demon beasts started without any time for rest.
