Dual Cultivation: Beasts and Women!

"Next time we train, you'll suffer for misleading me."

Liam looked back as he heard this comment that he hadn't expected, seeing Isa finishing getting dressed, while the evidence of what they had just finished was still in the middle of this training room.

"All right..." he said quietly, not trying to rationalize the situation. He had already passed that point with Isa.

She smiled at him as she approached him, helping him button his shirt straight away. "Think of it as me helping you get stronger. It makes sense, right? Why should I cultivate with you and make you grow, but not fight with you and put pressure on your weak points?"

"So that's what you'll be doing? Helping me?" he asked with a smile, curious about her game.

"Of course. What I want is a strong, powerful man. Despite everything, you're still weak. You beat that plant by luck. You beat me because of how I underestimated you. But you won't continue to be that lucky. Especially when you leave the sect's territory."

Despite how peculiar Isa's personality was, she really was a very good cultivator and her words made Liam look at her a little differently.

"But I'll keep cultivating with you until we get married."

He heard the end of her words and opened his eyes wide, once again in that peculiar situation of being surprised by Isa's words.

"Pardon?"

"You'll marry me, or I'll cut off your little friend." She reached for his groin, squeezing Liam's now sleepy rod as she looked him in the eye. "Now that we've bonded, I'll follow you wherever you go. One day, I'll give you your children and fulfill my role as a woman."

Gulp!

"Is there anything else I need to know?" he asked, uncertain.

"I think that's all." She released his hand, turning around and showing her back. Her voice changed completely, becoming gentle and affectionate as she requested, "Tie it for me, darling."

Liam helped her finish dressing, floundering with this strange relationship he'd started and now didn't know whether to celebrate or regret.

He was definitely happy with his magical growth and the prospect of getting better alongside Isa. But what problems would a woman with such a powerful personality bring him? Would she prevent his escape? Would she become an enemy in the future?

Liam knew that hate and love could be very close to each other. Now Isa seemed willing to do many things that many women would never be willing to give him, knowing what she knew. But her commitment could be reversed if he disappointed her.

But what was her limit? She had just threatened to cut his rod! Was this a mere joke, or would she have the courage to do something like that? And if she could, what else would she do?

He had no answers to these questions, being unable to read Isa well enough to understand what to expect from her, for bad and for good.

"Do you see any problems with my other partners?" he asked seriously, looking at something that would surely be a big problem for many women.

"No. Have as many women as you want, darling. I think it's expected for a dual cultivator like you to have several partners." She looked back as he finished adjusting her clothes.

"Thanks for that, darling." She turned and planted a kiss on one of his cheeks. "That's all for today. I have some things to sort out, so we won't be seeing each other for a few days... But I'll warn you about our next training session before it happens."

She blushed as she prepared to say what was on her mind. "I certainly want to taste what we did today again. It was delightful."

She then walked in front of Liam as he laughed bitterly.

"You should discuss with your master and superiors about the trip for the Runemasters' promotion exam you told me about. I'll join the group. I'll take advantage of that to train you."

Finally, when they left that room and passed through the corridor that connected to various rooms in the house, with a view of some of his women there, he promised her. "I'll do it. I hope it's not too much trouble for you, Isa."

She followed him to the exit of the property, where she inspected him one last time before leaving. "I recommend you be careful with something, Liam. Be mindful of who you cultivate with. These women here are already in your control, so that's fine. But think twice about getting into bed with others.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Don't think you're going to have the same luck with others that you've had with me." She approached him, running one of her hands over one of his forearms. "I'm a traditional woman. But there are few women like that in Demon Gate. Be prudent. Don't go killing all of us for small gains."

Despite how peculiar Isa was, Liam couldn't deny her commitment. Since first meeting her, she had always been true to her word and gone through with her decisions. Now she was including herself in his life in a strange but simultaneously pleasant way.

The fact that she didn't just want to be with him in good times and saw herself by his side in difficulties impressed him.

'In the end, it seems we can find everything in Demon Gate, even faithful people,' he thought as he nodded in agreement with her advice, adding nothing more to their conversation and then watching her go.

Isa was beautiful, dedicated, but also quite intense. For a long time, Liam stood at the entrance to his house, thinking about what he had experienced in the last few hours and what he would do from then on.

This lasted until a beautiful blonde girl sneaked up on him, hugging him from behind while the others were busy or watching from afar.

"Did you cultivate with her?" Mary asked, curious as Liam was dressed in his Division Chief uniform, making it impossible for her and the others to sense his current cultivation.

He nodded at her, still looking at the path made by Isa. "Commander Isa is an exceptional woman, but she didn't foresee my strategy."

"And in the end, you cultivated." Mary smiled as she complemented his words.

"Yes..."

"But are you sure about that? Her reputation isn't very good, after all..." She suggested as she waited for his answer.

"I don't know. But I'm afraid it's beyond my control," he said as he thought about how the dangers of the inner and outer areas were different, but difficult to ignore.

The danger of Isa was quite uncertain and, as long as they got along, it could be quite pleasurable. In the outer wing, on the other hand, he had faced direct opponents and almost always had to deal with individuals who were his allies or his enemies. Isa's case was uncertain, but if she became a problem, it would be a problem that could end his life just like the ones he had in City Thirteen.

"I'm now a 9-Star Spirit Earth cultivator because of this. I don't know where this will lead, but I can see myself becoming a Spirit Sky cultivator before long. Even if she becomes a problem, I'll have methods of dealing with her, eventually," he said as he turned and looked into the sharp eyes of his partner. "But it might be good to prepare ourselves for desperate action. It's time to prepare for our escape, Mary."

She understood his side and agreed on this critical point. "What do you have in mind? I would suggest that you advance your promotion exam to become a Runemaster, but with your level advancement, it might be more interesting for you to focus on advancing kingdoms and only take the exam after you get your fourth Spirit."

Mary knew he would get his next Spirit immediately after advancing a realm, so it made sense to move the plans in that direction.

"Hmm, I agree. In fact, it will be interesting if I delay this journey a little. Maybe that will give me time to learn more about the Fourth Class and instead of doing just one promotion test, I can do two on this trip." He thought it a little too ambitious, in Mary's opinion, but not so much for someone who knew how much his understanding had evolved recently.

He finished, "It will be important for me to be recognized as a Fourth Class Runemaster when we're on the run from the sect. I won't be able to appear in Runemasters Association posts for a while, so having that title before we escape will help us a lot."

She agreed with this part of the plan, although she still thought it was rather ambitious. He couldn't even be considered a Third Class Runemaster yet, because he hadn't taken the exam, but he wanted to pass two exams in one go!

"It would be nice if you could achieve that, but will the time be enough?" she asked.

"I'm not sure. But I'll try to do it on this journey. The next time I have a mission outside the sect, I'll take all of you with me and we'll run away from Demon Gate!"

With this well-defined plan in mind, he went back into the house with Mary, too tired to cultivate with any of his women, but full of things to talk to them about and start doing.

For better or worse, Isa was a Commander and now he had someone with outside knowledge under his influence. From now on they could inform themselves with her and gradually formulate how to escape from the sect and hide from groups of Commanders throughout the continent!
