As days passed, Rue returned from Head-town. He visited Ang and started to explain the results.
"Young master, I have successfully distributed the pills based on your input. Based on the contributions of the individuals, they were rewarded with a pill. Even though it came as a surprise, it was a happy surprise for those rewarded. Those who did not, complained saying they would have worked harder if they knew some of this existed. So, I gave a public notice that these contribution competitions will be held yearly. On the New Year of every year, the results of the year-long competition will be announced, and the rewards will be followed." explained Rue with pride.
"I hope you announced that the rewards will only be provided to the residents of our territories," Ang asked.
"Of course, young master, the last thing we want is to get taken advantage of by people from other territories," Rue said confidently, emphasizing his loyalty and protectiveness towards their territories.
Even though this move will attract some attention from other noble families, since the rewards are not big, they will overlook it. "As long as we do things in moderation, we can avoid unnecessary troubles." thought Ang.
Ang explained to Rue that he and Kara would be traveling to Lake Adina before the bleeding. But until then, he would like to concentrate on his cultivation. Rue agreed to his plan as it was common for novice cultivators to visit Lake Adina during the bleeding.
Ang explained to Rue that he would be cultivating near the pond for the next couple of months and that arrangements were to be made. That night, Rue took extra care to prepare rejuvenating art castings for the pond along with Freya who placed multiple protection Arts around the pond.
The next day, Ang entered seclusion again.
But he did not know this act of rewards had already attracted many surrounding villages, especially from Du and Gelin Territories that surrounded Angs Territory. In this new Era, Any individual has the right to move from one territory to another as long as they do not play any integral part in the existing territory. So, suppose a village that is between two territories wishes to change its village affiliation from one territory to another. It can simply apply a formal request to both territories explaining the same.
As such, a few villages from Gelin and a few Villages from Du sent formal requests to the respective Territories. The Gelin family, inherently being a political family, immediately announced a few policies that could give the same amount of benefits to retain their territorial strength. But the Du family was inherently a poison clan. Even though they do have medical centers like the Yuhe family, they are not as efficient. The number of pills they manufacture is lower than that of the Yuhe family. As such, they cannot afford to give away medicinal Pills freely. These few villages do not contribute to their territory in any significant way, so they let the Villages become a part of Ang's territory.
Even though the current noble families looked down on the first noble house, Ang's actions piqued their interest. The Du family even planted a few spies in the villages they lost to monitor the state of affairs in Ang's territory.
Kara was also in seclusion under Freya's supervision. She would occasionally come out of seclusion to eat some food. While going back into seclusion, she would always pass by the pond Ang was cultivating. Looking at him cultivating without food or water made Kara a bit concerned.
Thara also applied for leave and went into seclusion under A1's care in one of the secret bases of the dark clans. She wanted to win over Ang in any way possible. "Since Ang asked Kara to break through to 3rd layer of the Apprentice warrior Realm, it means there is something he wants to achieve after these few months. If I can reach the 3rd level of Apprentice warrior, I can accompany him on that mission. That way I can gain his favor. If my performance is better than that bitch, then Young Master will have more trust in me than that woman." she thought.
In the Qian Mansion house, Liliana and Shin were conversing while looking at a treasure map.
"So, is this the treasure map you wanted to show me?" Liliana asked.
"Yes, Lily. This is something I found when I went on a family mission previously. I had to fight a dark clan cultivator to obtain it." Shin replied.
"This must be very precious to you. Why are you showing it to me?" Liliana asked in confusion.
"Lily. Recently we were not on a good note. So I wanted to show you how much I love you by sharing this treasure with you." Shin said as he asked his system to maintain a scan of Liliana's emotions.
[scan complete]
[Liliana is developing a positive impression on you..]
"Tsk. I know this dog will return to me eventually." Liliana smiled and asked, "So you think two people would be enough for this trophy hunt?"
"Of course, it would not be enough. That is why I invited Juli." Shin spoke reflexively, but the next moment, he was shocked to see the system message.
[Liliana's Rage is reaching very high. High chance of the host getting beat up]
"Are you telling me that YOU invited THAT BITCH before ME?" Liliana was almost at the limit.
"It was an order from your Mother," Shin lied reflexively. "She said that from now on, whenever I go on an adventure, I should invite Juli."
"WHAT?! She said that?" Liliana clenched her fist and diverted her anger from Shin to her Mother.
[Liliana is still in Rage, but it is not directed at you. You are safe for now]
"Let me go and talk to her," Liliana said as she started to move out of the room. "Wait, Lily. We have already discussed this. Can't you let go already?" Shin asked in a concerned way.
"Shin did you like her hand job that much? Now, you are directly telling me that I should let her have you," said Liliana with a sharp glare at Shin.
[Danger! Liliana's Rage is directed at you. Choose your next words carefully]
"Liliana. How would you feel if I asked you about how it felt giving that bastard Yoshi a hand job?" Shin questioned back.
A few months ago, when Shin and Liliana had newly started dating, they attended a party in the capital. That was where Liliana and Julia first met. Even though there was tension between their territories, they started to converse on a positive note. They began to get very close as time at the party passed, and alcohol intake also increased under the chit-chat they were having. They introduced Shin and Yoshi to each other as their lovers.
As time passed, the two couples made their way to the garden. Alcohol started to take effect as their conversation began to change topics from general to personal. Shin and Yoshi also started to boast about their achievements before the ladies. At some point, Julia and Liliana began to whisper about how good their lovers were in bed. Soon, the two ladies started to disagree on the better partner.
"Liliana, I agree that Shin is a handsome man. But I don't believe he can last as long as Yoshi in bed."
"Julia, I need to disagree with you. Yoshi might me a good-looking guy but when it comes to lasting long it has to be Shin"
After exchanging several dialogues, Liliana and Julia started to get frustrated with each other.
"Liliana, I hate to break it to you, but if you are bad at sex, then there is a chance Shin might be unsatisfied and can last long?" Julia said in frustration.
This comment made Liliana enraged, "Oh, if that is the case, then I wonder if Yoshi was ever satisfied because of your lack of luster and sex appeal." replied Liliana.
Both Shin and Yoshi started to worry about how things would develop.
Getting infuriated by Liliana's comments, Julia said, "Oh! Is that so? Then maybe I should test my charms on your Shin and see if he lasts that long." while holding Shin's hands against her chest.
Hearing what Julia said, Liliana felt threatened and immediately hugged Yoshi. "If that is the case, let me check the authenticity of your claims as well. But I wonder if Yoshi will go back to you after having a taste of the best?" Liliana mocked while kissing Yoshi on his lips.
Seeing that, Julia felt provoked and kissed Shin. She then looked at Liliana and said, "Will you be able to handle the heartbreak if Shin falls for my charms? After all, who would want a second-rate after experiencing the best."
Getting thoroughly provoked by the other under the influence of alcohol, Liliana and Julia gave a handjob to Yoshi and Shin. Even though they were having the time of their lives, the men could not enjoy it because the other was also having the time of his life with his partner. They were in a very awkward state. As the hand-job continued, It became a situation where the first Man who cums would prove that his partner was in the wrong. And the Lady who makes the man cum first will be in the right. Ultimately after holding in for long, Yoshi was the first to let go of his cum. With a mocking look, Lilana looked at Julia, who was still trying to make Shin Cum, but before she could speak anything, Shin placed his hand behind Julia's head and gave her a deep kiss while letting go of his cum.
This made both Julia and Liliana happy and mad at the same time. Julia was able to make Yoshi cum first, but Julia was so good that Shin wanted to Kiss her.
"Shin, you bastard, did you like her hand job that much that you wanted to give her a Kiss?"
"Yoshi, you low life, was her hand-job so good that you came for her right before me?"
