Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Chapter 73: Am I handsome?

[Ding! Successfully relieved Goddess Sylvia's fatigue. Skill point +1.]

[Ding! Successfully made Goddess Sylvia feel refreshed all over. Skill point +1.]

[Ding! You've earned a choice of one Rare-level treasure.]

[Ding! You've earned a choice of one Epic-level technique (or combine three Epic-level techniques into one Heavenly-level technique).]

Timothy's eyes sparkled as he executed the ultimate shoulder massage technique, Thunder Serpent Spin!

Using his knuckles as pivots, he put all his strength into targeting the crucial joints at the shoulders and elbows.

Then, with a forceful twist!

"Ah~."

Accompanied by Sylvia's extremely comfortable moan, the system announced:

[Massaged Goddess Sylvia's chest, reducing stress and enhancing muscle and skin elasticity. Host successfully advanced to the mid-stage of Mystic Core.]

[Current skill points remaining: 27.]

"Only Goddess Sylvia! Only my own wife!"

So far, every reward he had received from his wife was incredibly precious.

If he kept this up all night, by tomorrow, he might just advance directly to Ocean's Gate!

However, Timothy knew the importance of moderation.

While massaging his wife and getting rewards was thrilling, if he upset her, it wouldn't be so easy to get close next time.

So, it was better to stop here and continue another time.

With that thought, Timothy withdrew his hands.

Just as Sylvia, who seemed to be lying on a bed of soft grass, enjoying the bliss, suddenly felt a void in her chest where the comfort had vanished.

Instantly, she turned her head, looking somewhat reproachfully at Timothy.

"Cough, honey, I swear I wasn't trying to take advantage of you, I'll just go now..." Timothy, feeling a bit guilty, quickly pulled back his hand, ready to leave.

"Wait." But Sylvia bit her lip, her cheeks flushed as she stopped him.

"Honey?" Timothy was puzzled.

"I mean..."

Sylvia's eyes darted around, and it seemed to take a lot of courage before she finally whispered almost inaudibly, "Con... continue."

"Huh?" Timothy was stunned.

"Continue?"

Could such a word really come from the lofty Goddess Sylvia?

But it seemed... that was indeed the case.

"Holy crap!"

To have the goddess let down her guard was an opportunity that simply didn't come by on ordinary days.

Timothy immediately seized this rare chance, smiling slightly: "I can continue, but a full-body massage is quite exhausting, honey. You've got to give me something in return, right?"

"What do you want in return?"

"That's right, just call me 'dear.' After all this time, you've never used a term of endearment for me."

"How, how could I!" Sylvia immediately felt her cheeks burn.

Such an embarrassing word, how could she, a supreme goddess, ever utter it!

"Man, if that's the case, there's nothing I can do about it. I mean, if there's no energy, where's the strength going to come from?" Timothy sighed deeply, pulling his hand back, ready to walk away.

"Wait a minute!"

Feeling the emptiness on her shoulder, Sylvia suddenly couldn't help but pull Timothy close.

"What's the big deal? It's just 'darling,' I said it, that's all!" She raised her voice slightly, clearly annoyed.

Her fingertips dug into her palm as Sylvia tried to control her embarrassment.

Even though her cheeks were flushed pale as snow, her voice was still muffled and shaky, as if she had been greatly wronged.

It took a while before she finally managed to stammer out, "Dar... darling, keep going..."

"This is so hard to say!"

Looking at Sylvia, her eyes watery and slightly resentful, and her voice shy and trembling.

Timothy couldn't help but shudder.

If anyone else heard this, they'd think I'd done something beastly!

"Ahem, honey, calm down, I'll keep going."

Timothy coughed lightly, quickly placing his hand back on her chest, and once again upgraded his massage technique to a level beyond perfection at the cost of three skill points.

At this point, his shoulder massage technique was unparalleled, transcending time and space, unmatched across the vast universe.

In all the heavens and on earth, Timothy's massage technique was revered!

...

...

...

Two hours later, looking at Goddess Sylvia, who was now softly leaning back in her chair, Timothy walked out of the sleeping chamber.

[Host: Timothy]

[Level: Mystic Core Mid-Stage]

[Current Skill Points: 50]

[Choose one Heavenly-level technique]

[Unlock the third meridian of the Ancient Saintly Body]!

This, indeed, was the pinnacle of Harvesting!

The third meridian of the Ancient Saintly Body is characterized by absorption.

Not only does it provide immunity to certain levels of magical attacks, but its most powerful ability is to assimilate other physiques into its own.

However, there are hardly any physiques in the world that can match the Ancient Saintly Body, and even fewer that would catch Timothy's eye.

As for the Heavenly-level technique gained from Harvesting, Timothy flipped through the pages in his mind, which shimmered with golden light.

Instantly, a continuous stream of information flooded into his brain.

This technique was called "Mindfiend Manifestation Form."

Normally, only those who have reached the Transcendence Realm and some peak practitioners of the Ocean's Gate could manifest their magical forms.

But this technique allowed for the release of a magical form through absorption.

Although its power was far from a true magical form, it was still terrifyingly effective.

"Mindfiend? So, it collects others' feelings of inferiority or various negative emotions?"

Timothy immediately stepped out of the house and grabbed a naive-looking junior disciple to ask, "Am I handsome?"

"Handsome!"

As he spoke, looking at Timothy's handsome appearance and the unique charm emitted by the Ancient Saintly Body, the junior disciple felt a wave of inferiority, suddenly feeling as if he had lived his life in vain.

[Mindfiend Manifestation Form Release Count (1/100)]

"Not bad!"

Near the Sky Sanctuary, where many talented disciples were earnestly practicing, especially in front of the statue of the goddess, many sat on the ground, diligently cultivating.

Timothy specifically targeted the most serious of these disciples to ask.

"Am I handsome?"

"Handsome!"

"Brother Timothy is explosively handsome!"

"Brother Timothy is the most handsome in the world!"

Normally, these disciples had often flattered Timothy.

But for some reason, after flattering him this time, they suddenly felt empty inside, instantly filled with feelings of inferiority.

Looking at the incredibly handsome Brother Timothy, they almost wished they could jump off a steep cliff right there.

[Mindfiend Manifestation Form Release Count (12/100)]

[Mindfiend Manifestation Form Release Count (19/100)]

"I heard Brother Timothy was preaching in front of the goddess statue, asking soul-stirring questions. Every disciple asked by him has since focused deeply on their cultivation, not uttering a single word, deeply moved by Brother Timothy!"

"My goodness, Brother Timothy's preaching! Absolutely can't miss it!"

More and more disciples flocked towards the area near the goddess statue.
