“Father, what should we do next?” Luna asked. “Since Eastshire District is now leaderless, we can take advantage of Jared’s strength to help us take control of the entire district!” Marvin declared.
“Father, will Jared help us? Now that you’ve recovered, I’m afraid they might leave soon,” Luna voiced her concern.
“There is one way to make him help us for sure…” Marvin said mysteriously.
“What way?” Luna was filled with curiosity. Marvin leaned in and whispered a few words into her ear, causing her face to turn as red as a tomato.
That evening, Jared stayed in his room. As he listened to what Flaxseed was doing with the two new maidservants in the room next door, a feverish lust began to stir within him.
The two new maidservants were louder, so Jared could hear them clearly. Just as Jared was on the verge of giving in to his desires and calling Zelda out for some release, his door was suddenly pushed open.
Luna entered Jared’s room, her steps light and graceful like a dancing fairy. Her heart held a mix of shyness and anticipation.
“Mr. Chance, are you here?” Luna asked softly, her voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale’s.
Jared opened the door and was surprised to see Luna. “Ms. Linford, is something the matter this late at night?”
“I came to thank you,” Luna said, walking into the room.
“Thank me for what?” Jared asked.
“Of course, I want to thank you for saving my father,” Luna replied, her eyes full of gratitude. “Without you, my father might never have recovered, and our family would have fallen into dire straits.”
“There’s no need to be so polite. It was simply my duty.” Jared smiled gently, his expression conveying humility and kindness.
Luna shook her head. “No. You saved my father, and in doing so, you saved our family. I will never forget your act of kindness.” Her voice was firm and earnest, knowing the weight of this debt of gratitude.
She looked at Jared, a complicated emotion flickering in her eyes. “Mr. Chance, I know you are a good man and a very powerful cultivator.”
“Ms. Linford, you flatter me,” Jared humbly replied.
Luna took a deep breath, as if readying herself to make a huge decision.
“Mr. Chance, I… I wish to offer myself to you as repayment…” Her voice was faint and shy, and she even began to blush.
Jared was taken aback. Staring at Luna in surprise, he asked, “Ms. Linford, w-what are you saying?”
His eyes expressed confusion and astonishment; he hadn’t expected her to say such a thing.
Luna’s face was deeply crimson, but her gaze was resolute. “I said I wish to offer myself to you as repayment for your kindness to our family.”
With that, she slowly began to undress. Her movements were light and elegant, like a dancer performing on stage.
Jared quickly interjected, “Ms. Linford, p-please don’t do this. I didn’t save your father for this.”
His tone was anxious and sincere, he didn’t want Luna to make this decision merely out of gratitude. Although Jared had been intimate with many women, he had never forced himself on any of them. He desired a woman’s willing participation, not a reluctant act of repayment.
“I know, but I truly don’t know how else to repay you,” Luna insisted. “My father always told me to repay every act of kindness, not to mention you saved his life.”
By then, she had already removed her outer garments, revealing the undergarments beneath. The garment, like a blossoming flower, accentuated her exquisite figure.
“Ms. Linford, you… You should put your clothes back on,” Jared said awkwardly, his own cheeks slightly flushed. He hadn’t anticipated this situation.
