[Time Limit: 30 days]
[Status: Completed]
[Would you like to receive the rewards?]
[Y/N]
Excited, Kai pressed "Yes" quickly.
[Ding!]
[Fusing Eye Of Discerning into host's body]
Suddenly, Kai felt unbearable pain in his eyes, but noticing Victoria sleeping soundly beside him, he gritted his teeth and used all his willpower to not scream in pain.
Veins popped on his forehead while his whole body trembled.
"Ugh…"
Suddenly, drops of blood trailed out of his eyes, and it continued for a while.
After a while, the pain finally subsided, and a message popped out.
[Ding!]
[Eye Of Discerning fused successfully]
Kai breathed heavily before he wiped the blood and opened his eyes. If one looked closely, different golden-colored patterns could be seen moving inside his golden irises, making him look more mysterious.
His eyes then fell on Victoria, and suddenly, a screen popped out.

[Age: 28]

[DEF: 7]
'I can see others' status with this ability! Damn, that's convenient!'
Kai rejoiced inwardly before he recalled that weird feeling he felt after he came and checked his status.
'Status'
As soon as he thought about it, a screen appeared in front of him.
[Name: Kai Chance]
[Age: 18]
[Mana Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Race: Human]
[Talent: Low]
[LVL: 2]
[HP: 120/120]

[Celestial Points: 3]
[Ability: Craving Touch, Eye Of Discerning]
[Harem Members: Victoria Vanelle]
He leveled up!
He calculated and concluded that with each level up, he gains 2 stat points for every attribute other than the intelligence stat, which he only gains 1 point for and 3 celestial points.
That means, he gets a total of 14 points with each upgrade. That's impressive!
He thought about why he didn't get 2 points for intelligence stat but was unable to come up with an explanation, so he shrugged.
'Wait, will my stats increase if I work out?'
'Wait… why did I not think about this when I arrived in this world!? Ahh! I was too busy finding ways to seduce Victoria!
Hmm? Is this what they call post-nut clarity?
Okay, let's not think about this nonsense. Let's sleep; I'll wake up early in the morning and test my theory out.'
Thinking this, he tightened his hug around Victoria and entered the dreamland.
...
The next day, Victoria woke up with a satisfied smile on her face. She turned around before her eyes widened as she couldn't find Kai!
All her drowsiness disappeared as she called the maids, "Elara! Lyra!" There was a tone of urgency in her voice.
"Madam," two women quickly rushed into the room and bowed.
"Where is Kai?"
The two maids glanced at each other before one called Elara replied, "Madam, Ka- Um, Master Kai is in the garden."
"Hmm? What is he doing in the garden?" Victoria questioned.
"H-"
"Leave it; I'll go check it out myself." Before they could answer, Victoria quickly stood up and just as she was about to leave, Elara shouted.
"Madam! At least wear some clothes!"
Victoria looked down before she blushed a little. Clearing her throat, she quickly wore a normal gown and walked towards the garden with two maids following her.
As she walked into the garden, Victoria saw a handsome man drenched in sweat doing push-ups on the ground.
Although Victoria could see his arms quivering, he continued, and after a few more, his body finally fell. Victoria wanted to rush towards him, but when she saw a satisfied smile suddenly appear on his face, she stopped and decided to observe him a little longer.

Kai, who was now lying on the ground, smiled as he saw his status. His experiment was proved successful. Although he didn't receive many stats, his defense still improved by one point, and he could feel that if he continued for a few more days, his strength would increase as well.
He was regretting his decision of allocating some of his points to agility and stamina, but he didn't dwell on it. He couldn't play with his life; he was sure he could gain many points in the future.
This was not his only gain, though. He experimented a little and found out that unlike his [Craving Touch], [Eye Of Discerning] was an active skill that would activate whenever he thought about it.
It was a good thing; it would be weird if he was in front of a large group and all he could see is the system screen.
He chuckled as he stood up and just as he turned, he saw Victoria looking at him with a smile on her face. He smiled back before he activated his [Eye Of Discerning], and his eyes widened in surprise.

'They can crush me with their fingers…'
He gulped inwardly and swore that he would treat them with respect.
Now that he thinks about it, he realized that a viscountess like Victoria can't possibly be left unprotected. If not, then even random cultivators could destroy a noble's whole house, and chaos would ensue. He also noticed the MP stat, which he did not see on his own or Victoria's status. Thinking that it may appear after he levels up a little, he ignored it.
"Why the sudden need to exercise?" While Kai was lost in his thoughts, Victoria questioned with an amused smile.
"I just thought I should start exercising a little now that…", he blushed mid-sentence and stopped.
"Now that what?"
"Nothing…" Kai replied as he sneaked a few glances towards Victoria's direction.
Understanding what he was thinking, Victoria blushed and just as she was about to say something, Kai continued.
"By the way, you look really beautiful today, Lady Victoria."
He also subtly changed the way he addressed her. He couldn't stay in this weak position forever, right? Kai had decided to initiate his second plan. Of course, he would still be patient with everything since he knew he should not rush things.
Surprised by the sudden compliment, Victoria didn't know how to react and retorted,
"Huh? What do you mean? I didn't even take a bath yet."
"So what? Just look at your face; other women can't have this beauty even if they bathe 100 times a day," Kai hushed and before she could even react, he walked towards her and continued.
"Of course, after you take a bath, you will look even more attractive, and also, you are getting late for the office so let's get going. Elara, please prepare bathwater for Lady Victoria."
Saying that, he took Victoria's hand as they walked towards her room.
Lyra, on the other hand, was confused, 'How did he know my name?'
...
"You changed." As she was walking with Kai, Victoria muttered.
"Huh?"
"I said you changed. You are bolder than usual…"
"W-Well, I did transform into a Man from a Boy…" Kai replied as he blushed.
"A man?" Victoria muttered before she thought about a possibility.
"Wait, is that the reason you were working out this morning?"
"…" Kai didn't reply as he continued walking while he tried to hide his red face.
"Hahaha~ So that's why~ Now I know why you were acting so weirdly; you became a man! Hahaha~" Victoria laughed out loud while Kai continued walking without responding.
As they walked inside her room, Victoria smiled mischievously as she questioned,
"But Kai, what if I want you to stay how you were?"
"I can't do that," Kai replied instantly.
"Oh? But didn't you say you will do whatever I want you to?"
Victoria questioned with an amused smile when suddenly, Kai stopped walking before he cornered her to a wall and placed his hand in front of her shoulder, cutting off all her escape routes.
His movements were so fast that Victoria couldn't react to them.
"I did say that, Lady Victoria. But I won't do anything that you might be sad about in the future, even if it is you who tells me to."
Although surprised and a little excited for some reason, Victoria kept her calm as she questioned,
"Oh? Why would I be sad if you stay like the cute little boy you are?"
Kai smiled at her question before he closed his eyes, tilted his face, and moved closer to her.
Victoria's heartbeat quickened; she closed her eyes and moved her lips a little forward but suddenly, she felt Kai's lips moving past hers, and they arrived in front of her right ear as he whispered seductively.
"Oh, you will~ You will definitely miss out on a lot of things if I stay like the cute little boy I was. Why don't you trust me with this one? Kay?"
Victoria's heart raced, and her face turned red, and as if compelled by some force, she nodded weakly.
She only opened her eyes when she felt Kai had moved away from her.
But unexpectedly, instead of his confident look, she thought he would have, she found Kai with a bright red face as he muttered,
"I-I am still not very e-experienced with this… g-give me some time…"
"…" Victoria didn't know how to act. Her emotions were in turmoil; she found the 'man' Kai extremely attractive, but she also found this 'boy' Kai extremely cute. She was confused about who was better.
But just as she thought about this question, the image of Kai cornering her into a wall popped into her mind; she felt her little sister tingling, and she quickly came to an answer.
She then glanced at Kai, who was blushing and avoiding her eye contact and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha~ Alright, I am getting late. I'll go and have a bath while um… you do whatever you want."
Kai nodded, and Victoria quickly walked towards the bathroom.
Her heart was still beating rapidly as if she ran a marathon.
Her face was red as she recalled her being pushed into a wall.
"Dangerous… that was too dangerous… My heart nearly exploded," she muttered.
