Beilei and Casandra's faces flushed bright red.
Ma Jun's utterly unrestrained threat filled them with dread about what awaited them next.
Daniela even tried to persuade them.
"Sisters, don't be afraid."
"It really is very comfortable—Master is very gentle…"
Beilei stared at her in disbelief.
"What are you doing?! Why are you calling this lowly human 'Master'?!"
"You actually chose to help an outsider—against your own sisters?!"
Daniela hurried to explain.
"That's not it. Master is an omniscient seer. The reason my strength has improved is all because of his help."
The moment those words left her mouth, Beilei froze.
She was stunned for two whole seconds before crying out in disbelief,
"Really?!"
"He actually has that kind of ability?!"
Beilei was genuinely shaken.
She knew Daniela's abilities well—compared to herself, Daniela had always been inferior in every aspect.
Yet this time, she had only been away for a few days, and when she returned, everything had changed.
Daniela's speed had reached a level where even Beilei couldn't see her clearly!
Just a few days—that was all!
For a hundred years, Daniela had barely made any progress at all.
And now, in just a few days, she had completely transformed?
If Daniela wasn't lying, then this man truly possessed terrifying capabilities.
The way Beilei looked at Ma Jun changed.
Where there had once been only humiliation from being subdued, along with shame and hatred, there was now something more.
Among the Four Great Families, Madam Akina's family had always ranked second.
Every time, they were crushed by the Helsenberg family.
In the eyes of the Mother Goddess Miranda, the favor they received was never comparable to Helsenberg's.
This gathering of the Four Great Families had been no different.
They had beaten the Moro family and the Benvento family—
Only to be utterly routed by Helsenberg and his werewolf guard.
They had never been a match.
Just like in previous years, the divine gaze of Mother Goddess Miranda still favored Helsenberg far more.
This left Beilei—who desperately wanted to win glory for her mother—feeling miserable.
If only…
If she could become like her little sister—if her strength could leap forward explosively—
Then wouldn't she be able to defeat the werewolf guards?!
Beilei looked at Ma Jun with mixed doubt and hope.
"Can you really grant us power?"
"Of course."
Ma Jun nodded calmly, without even a change in expression.
He was still carrying five [Charcoal-Grilled Dragonfish] on him.
Granting power was trivial!
These were renewable resources—endless and inexhaustible.
As long as the Moro reservoir didn't dry up, he could obtain them whenever he wanted.
At worst, it just cost time.
"Then… what do you need?" Beilei asked.
"You're a smart woman," Ma Jun said approvingly, nodding.
He raised his hand. The [Praise], transformed from Grace Spores, obediently and clingily crawled up along his fingers.
Like a kitten begging for affection.
Beilei's eyes widened in shock—far more astonished than before.
She looked as if she'd been frightened stiff.
"Grace Spores?! How is that possible?!"
"How do you have Grace Spores?! No—why are the Grace Spores so close to you?!"
Even now, Beilei could never forget the agony she had suffered when she once tried to fuse with the spores.
Every bone in her body shattered, her muscles torn apart—
Then forcibly stitched back together.
To her, the spores were like a demon standing high above her.
And yet now—
In Ma Jun's hands, the Grace Spores behaved like a pet.
"Who are you… really?!"
Daniela explained softly,
"Master's Grace Spores were given by me. The spores are… very close to him."
"You? Little sister… could it be that you and he have already—"
Beilei was even more shocked.
Daniela lowered her head shyly.
"Yes. I've already devoted my body and soul entirely to Master."
Beilei fell silent, her expression complicated.
Ma Jun continued, coaxing her patiently.
"I want this inside your body. Give me a portion of it, and I'll grant you power."
"Isn't that a fair exchange?"
Beilei hesitated.
She desperately wanted strength—but to obtain it, she would have to deal with this lowly human…
Even though he was extremely attractive to her, she was still a noble under Mother Goddess Miranda!
"It seems you still need some time to think," Ma Jun said calmly.
But he didn't give her that time.
Instead, he walked straight over to Casandra.
Lowering his voice, he pressed her.
"And you? Will you choose power—or…?"
Casandra was utterly terrified by Ma Jun.
Faced with his threat, she instantly relived that moment—
The instant when death had almost claimed her.
She knew all too well how ruthless Ma Jun could be.
She nodded frantically.
"I'll agree! I'll agree to anything!"
"As long as you don't kill me, I'll do whatever you want!"
She turned her head aside, fully opening her body, her face flushed with shame.
"C-come… come on…"
"Hm?"
Ma Jun froze.
What was she doing?
Wasn't she supposed to take out the Grace Spores and hand them over for [Praise] to devour?!
Why was she striking that kind of pose?!
Daniela hurriedly whispered from the side.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"My sister has already agreed."
"Our family's Grace Spores can only be offered after a complete union of body and soul."
"The spores can only be given to someone truly intimate."
Ma Jun was completely stunned.
There was… a setting like this too?!
