Chapter 20 - Quest Freedom

Edrick's current situation was something he would qualify as rather comfortable, his days were mostly spent training his body and mind, as well as training Fanqia, taking care of his wife alone hardly rewarded any further rewards from the Depraved Cultivation System anymore, only when he really rendered her addict to more unconventional ways of pleasure would he be granted a little something, but nothing much really.

Although he had racked up quite a few things thanks to the help for her relatives, enjoying himself with the women and forcing the men to work for him had pleased the system, but still not enough to warrant any special reward, which Anoteros was rather interested in.

It was counted as an innate ability of his and its effects were impressive, the initial branding was only the beginning, as one might have expected, the crest of domination was all about ownership through the passage of time, it grew stronger the longer it had been put in place and the more Fanqia had intimacy with him.

It wasn't farfetched to imagine that he would soon be capable of knowing exactly what she was thinking and everything about her body, already, he had earned access of view to her system status, hers was but the regular kind but his wife could not actually view it herself, meaning that he was peering at something that not even the actual owner knew about.

Although this would certainly be useful in the future, Fanqia didn't have anything special inside of her system, nothing shown there was of interest.

The aspect of his ability that he ended up using the most was the one that prevented impregnation, of course, any man given this sort of power wouldn't hesitate and allow themselves to flood the gallery at nearly every occasion.

A bit more than a week passed since Edrick invited Fanqia's family over, the men still had yet to report any signs of Xiao, which was a good thing for now, it seemed like mister protagonist was going to be taking his time.

In the meanwhile, Anoteros would keep on having some fun with the supposed first love interest.

'Mmh?' his attention was brought up.

*Hello again!* greeted the system.

'Why, hello to you too' 

*Following your utter corruption of Fanqia, you did not grow lazy and continued to mould her into a perfectly submissive partner, the system is very pleased!*

*Systems missions have been unlocked as a result, these precise acts of depravity award more focused and special rewards, you may complete them at your one leisure, although, remember to not miss any good opportunity even if they are not listed amongst the missions!*

It would seem like Edrick's system considered that he had trained Fanqia enough, which he had to agree with, he had basically shown and let her train in all manners of pleasuring him as well as herself.

"Is something the matter, Lord Anoteros?" she asked, tilting her head to the side as Edrick's fifth limb was in the way.

"Nothing, just keep going, you're doing very well" he instructed, rather pleased as his wife was a real sponge when it came to learning such things, especially in how to use her ample bosom, which was what she was currently doing as her husband was sitting on a couch, it hadn't even been him to suggest it.

As she went back to work, Edrick went to take a look at those so-called missions, the system and him were rather aligned in what they wanted, and indeed, although they were presented like challenges, they just looked like things he might just do on his own.

Though, he had been expecting something like three missions that would need to be completed before new ones would show up, or some sort of timer that would reset at certain times, instead, the system had just already puked out an incredibly long list of things to do in any order and at any time he wanted.

*New missions will be created when either some are completed or when opportunities are noticed* without needing to be questioned, the system clarified.

'Mmh, so it's dynamic…' it made sense, the missions currently presented to him were rather tailored to where he currently was, some telling him to abuse his position of power even, meaning that although no missions would go away, depending on when and where he got them, they may become technically impossible to complete.

Considering that some of them could get awfully precise, like the system had a very specific kink it wanted to see in action, it had quite the imagination, Edrick tended to get directly involved in his acts of depravity, but it was true that it wasn't always necessary to get in on it to get a kick out of it.

Though, there was one mission that was shown to him with a clear distinction, written in gold, standing right at the top of the list.

*Corrupt Linmin and put the crest of domination upon him*

*Reward : A variety of goods and an innate ability, dependent on the success of the corruption*

It seemed like the system never promised anything too specific, only deciding on it when the mission was over, presumably because completing a mission and completing it well were entirely different things. 

Though the rewards were rather generous considering the difficulty of it, Linmin was already completely at Edrick's mercy, the servant was completely enamoured and would follow every and any order given, he couldn't even lie to his lord.

*Foppoofs are rare, they are worth a lot to the system*

'Foppoofs?'

"Linmin! What is a foppoof?" he asked, being a term that although Zixuan had in his memory, had never actually bothered to learn the meaning of.

The servant wasn't very far as Edrick and Fanqia were doing their thing in the middle of the residence and not their room, in fact, he was right there, very much interested in the action.

"Foppoof is a term used to describe people like me, Lord Edrick, in other words, greatly effeminate men- It was originally reserved to scholars as they believed it was due to a problem during formation in the womb, but it is more often used as a derogatory term to imply that a man is not manly enough, regardless of whether or not they actually qualify as a foppoof" as clear as usual despite having just been drooling over his lord's body, Linmin provided the meaning and history in a single breath.

"Huh…" looking through the other missions, he began to spot a variety of terms he had never heard of in his old world and which Zixuan Elt was also unfamiliar with for the most part.

'Well, I better get through some of those before the main guest arrives…'
