Chapter 227: Regina’s Unexpected Gain (2)
Regina''s soul was iplete. It was something Bloed and the others knew already.
The first time they heard about it was when they met the demigod bird, Chorius, in the Exiled Lands.
But to be honest, Bloed and the others did not know if it was something bad. Regina had never shown any sign of being affected by that after all.
Even so, when they suddenly learned that Regina''s soul became moreplete, Bloed and the others could not help but be curious about the reason.
However, Eve seemed a bit more interested in another thing.
"So you two are lovers after all" Eve nodded to herself, ignoring the awkward expressions on Bloed, Regina, and Liu Ying''s faces. "You two seemed more like a guardian and her protegee Is it your first time having intercourse?"
"Cough" Bloed coughed and looked at Eve with a helpless expression. But it was as though Eve could not see Bloed''s gaze.
"How strange It''s my first time hearing about intercourse having this kind of effect in soul wounds Are you sure the change was when you two intercourse, Miss Regina?" Eve asked expressionlessly, but for some reason, she looked like a curious scientist.
By this point, Liu Ying had turnedpletely red and Bloed was looking away, trying to escape from this situation. Even Regina seemed rather ufortable.
" Miss Eve, can we please stop talking about this?"
"Mm? Is anything wrong?" Eve asked.
Then, Eve''s eyes opened wide, finally understanding the problem.
"Oh S-Sorry, I was a bit too excited." Eve turned slightly red in embarrassment.
" Don''t worry, it''s alright." Bloed smiled awkwardly and tried to y off the situation. He just wanted to shift the conversation to another topic.
Unfortunately, it seemed like it was not going to happen.
And this time, it was Regina who spoke.
" Now that I think about it, I''ve been feeling strangely light today. Moreover, my emotions feel unusually strong I thought it was because I was in a good mood, though."
"Is it so?" Eve''s eyes lit up. "Actually, I''m curious about something. Miss Regina, how did your soul became like that? A normal person would have been unable to survive with just half of a soul Could it be rted to your race? Right, I don''t know what is your race, Miss Regina. You are not human, right?"
Bloed, Regina, and Liu Ying looked at each other. Now that they thought about it, Eve did not know that Regina was a Valkyrie.
Although she could see through souls, Eve only knew that Regina was not human, but that was everything she could see. She could not see through the fact Regina was an artificial living being.
Even her soul was the product of mixing an AI with part of the consciousness of who was once Cami''s daughter.
Bloed was not nning to tell Eve about that, though. But at the same time, he thought it was necessary to know about the changes in Regina''s soul.
Hence, he fell silent for a moment while thinking about the right way to word it.
" About that Regina has been like that since she was born." Bloed decided to exin it like that.
Eve was startled. One secondter, she wrinkled her brows.
" Since she was born? No, that is Impossible How did she manage to be a demigod then? A person like that should not be able of even cultivate How strange"
''Well, Regina never needed to calcte. She was created with that level of power.'' Bloed thought to himself.
At that moment, Eve stared at Regina with a frown.
"Miss Regina, why don''t you check the condition of your body? Tell me if there is a change."
"Okay." Regina nodded and closed her eyes. But less than one secondter, her eyes opened in astonishment.
"Master, my psychic power increased!"
Bloed was stunned.
"Do you mean"
"Yes. It''s around ten percent stronger than before." Regina was excited. "Master, it''s incredible."
Bloed was astonished too. You must know, Valkyries were unable to cultivate.
In other words, they could not grow stronger. Their level of power was decided since the moment they were created.
" Is it rted to your soul?"
"Probably." The one who replied was Eve. "I''m not sure about the specifics, but the technique you and Miss Regina practice is rted to the soul, right? Then, if Miss Regina truly was born with an iplete soul as you say, it''s normal if her strength increases now that her soul is moreplete. In fact, her strength will probably continue increasing slowly. And if her soul bes even moreplete, her strength will increase even more. There is even a chance she can break through the next level of demigod, reaching the level of apotheosis, where she will be just one step from bing a god."
Both Bloed and Regina were stunned. In other words, there was a chance of Regina bing an SSS-Grade ESPer.
"Wait a moment." Liu Ying suddenly interrupted with a flustered tone. "Do you mean that if Regina and Bloed continue having s-sex, Miss Regina will be stronger?"
" It can''t be like that, right?" Bloed said with an awkward tone. He truly did not want to talk about his sex life anymore.
But the girls did not seem to have any problem talking about that. In fact, even Regina was looking at Eve in anticipation now.
Eve thought for a moment and shook her head.
" I don''t think it will work."
"Why is it?" Regina asked.
" Actually, I don''t think intercourse has the ability to make your soul whole. Instead, it should have been caused by the strong and new emotions you felt during intercourse. In other words, it was a one-time thing. Your soul will probably not experience more grow even if the two of you have intercourse another one hundred of times."
" I see. It''s a shame." Regina seemed genuinely disappointed.
"Can you stop talking about it, please?" Bloed finally snapped and said. "This topic very ufortable."
"S-Sorry"
"?"
" Understood, master."
Liu Ying, Eve, and Regina reacted differently.
Bloed sighed exasperatedly and shook his head. Were all women so open about this topic?
"Anyway, it''s god news that Regina''s strength grew," Bloed admitted. "I wish I was as lucky as her."
Eve tilted her head.
"Mm? Don''t you just breakthrough not long ago?"
" It''s not about it It''s just that I realized the strength of my body isgging behind my cultivation, so I''m trying to find a way to strengthen it."
"Your body, huh... Certainly, the strength of your body is barely at the B-Rank." Eve nodded convinced. "But that is pretty easy to fix. You just need to cultivate a technique specialized in strengthening the body. Moonlight Glow has a few good ones. I can give them to you if you want."
Bloed smiled bitterly. It would be great if the solution was so simple.
"It''s not so easy." He said and shook his head.
Eve tilted her head confused.
Bloed hesitated for a moment. He was not sure if he should tell Eve about his condition.
In the end, though, he decided to reveal a bit while lying about the rest.
" You see, the technique I practice is a bit special. Due to that, I can''t control mana to strengthen my body like other people. And it''s not like mana will automatically strengthen my body by itse"
"... Mm? Mr. Bloed?"
" I''m an idiot."
"Master?"
"Bloed?"
Bloed ignored Regina and Liu Ying''s confused voices and grinned.
"I think I have an idea."
