Limitless Fortune: I Collect SSS-Rank Skills as Payment-Chapter 169: Overwhelmed by Emotion!

"Dragon? You can say so."

Lucien heard Sera and nodded slightly while breathing deeply to calm himself down. He then carefully placed the drop of draconic essence he took out of his own body inside the test tube.

Fortunately, he had gotten such a special bottle from Zeyvyr before.

"Here, take it. With this, I think you will at least have a chance."

Lucien smiled at Sera while giving her the test tube filled with precious draconic essence. Even though he gave her just a drop of blood mixed with his essence, it still made his face pale and dark.

It was almost as if he had been exercising for days with the most beautiful woman in the world. He looked spent.

"L-Lucien… how… how can I take it? Why are you so reckless?"

Sera didn't accept his gift, though, as she looked visibly stressed.

It was true that she never thought Lucien had such a strong bloodline comparable to hers. But she never thought he would give that to her, too, without a second thought.

To be honest, she felt so moved by his gesture that she directly hugged him and, while sobbing on his shoulder, her impressive bosoms pressed against his naked chest.

"Lucien, why are you so reckless?"

Sera complained while beating his chest lightly with her hand, trying hard not to let the tears fall from her eyes.

But these abominable tears wouldn't listen to her and forced themselves out of her eyes.

"D-don't you know its importance? Do you know how long it will take for you to recover from just this drop?"

Sera questioned lightly while sobbing in his arms, refusing to let him see her sad face. She was currently overwhelmed with emotion.

After all, someone who could tell her his secret and even give his most valuable possession like this, when had Sera ever had one?

She was someone who knew no warmth from her childhood. She was someone who could get smitten just by the warmth of Lucien's hug.

When had she ever seen someone caring so much about her like this? Although she and Lucien had been together for just a week, she of course noticed his skepticism about her.

Honestly, their relationship was somehow attached just because of her stubbornness to meet him. After all, she debated whether he would come to meet her when he had someone like Lilith at his side.

But today, when she saw that pale smiling face of Lucien and the drop of draconic essence in his hand, all the small thoughts in her mind vanished instantly.

She felt that Lucien was just as serious about her as she was about him.

And that made her so happy that her tears couldn't stop pouring out.

"Okay, girl. It is just a drop of blood. Do you need to be so dramatic?"

Lucien patted the back of Sera with a soft laugh while caressing her naked body without negative intention. He could feel her overwhelming feelings by the way her body moved after all.

So, he just soothed her body with his warm hug, letting Sera fully calm down her emotions for a few minutes.

To be honest, this drop of blood could be said to be a repayment for that debt exchange he had received from Sera before.

It was also his true affirmation of this relationship with this Eldest Princess. After the breakup and the incident with Lilith and Sera, his views about girls had already been skewed before.

But like people said, a true feeling could even melt an iceberg. That's how he felt too.

"Are you alright?"

After giving Sera a while, when her body stopped moving, Lucien slowly straightened her and asked softly. From the dark shadows flowing across her cheeks, this girl really seemed to have cried. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

'How cute!'

Lucien smiled and rubbed those dark spots off her cheeks with his finger.

"Umm… thank you!"

Sera felt a little embarrassed by his look and lowered her head shyly.

"Okay, like I said, there is no need to feel distressed over this small drop of blood. Besides, don't you want to awaken properly and meet me again?"

Feeling that she was alright, Lucien immediately came to the point.

"Phoenix and Dragon are both ancient species. Although I don't know if there are some connections, I am sure it will at least help you save your life."

He said this and placed the test tube in her hand.

"B-but…"

Sera was still reluctant to take advantage of him. It almost felt like she had exchanged her body for such a wonderful thing.

"Pah…"

"Ouch!"

"Sera, you don't even listen to me? Do you want me to spank you hard?"

Seeing that this girl was still hesitating, Lucien's face turned cold, and his hand slapped her naked butt with force, eliciting a moan of pain from her. The slap was really strong, and her bum immediately turned red.

"No… sorry."

Sera saw that cold look and hurriedly accepted the blood, keeping it safely inside her ring.

Then, she leaned a little closer to Lucien's ear and shyly whispered,

"Do you want to do something to me? I-I will listen to anything you say."

She promised with a red face while slowly placing her right hand on Lucien's erect cock, caressing it up and down.

Since he helped her so much, she also felt the need to reciprocate. Although it was up for debate whether that was the only reason she had.

"Shssss…."

Lucien felt Sera's soft hand caressing his rod, her lips biting his ears, and her naked bosoms rubbing up and down, turning him on.

Not to mention her promise, it was too damn tempting.

"Sigh… let's not do that. I am… too tired and I have no energy to waste anymore."

But, however tempting that was, he had to stop Sera as he was too tired right now. Forcefully taking out the essence within his heart wasn't easy.

It was extremely draining on his body and soul. Honestly, Lucien was incredibly hungry right now.

Hungry for food, of course.

"Hmm? Are you alright?"

Sera also felt that he wasn't in good condition and didn't push. Rather, she seemed worried and confused about what to do.

"Yeah, I am fine. I am just a bit hungry."

Lucien nodded.

"Okay, let's just dress up and go outside. I want to eat something to replenish my energy."

He said this before putting on his clothes along with Sera. He could also take pills, potions, or absorb mana stones to replenish his energy, but he decided to eat food.

Who knew how long he would have to wait to eat after entering the Shadow Kingdom?

"Let's go!"

Once both of them were dressed decently, he hugged Sera in his arms before leaving the room they were in. He also ordered the maid to prepare food once he was out of the courtyard.

"Finally out? Then, let's go, princess. It isn't good to be in this place for long."

Just as he was heading in the direction of the kitchen with Sera in his arms, disguised as Helena now, he heard Clara's voice.

"Tch… it seems our young master is more tired today. Isn't it better to practice than waste time on such things?"

But when she saw Lucien's tired face devoid of energy, her expression immediately fell. She thought Lucien was playing too much with Sera.

Unfortunately, her princess never listened to her and allowed this abominable guy to enjoy her, even when he said he had no way of helping her in the upcoming awakening.

To be honest, she felt sad for her princess.

"Okay, Clara. No need to be so sarcastic. You already know our relationship. Can you please stop minding my business?"

Surprisingly, this time who answered her wasn't Lucien but Sera, who seemed particularly angry with her out of nowhere.

"No… princess, I was thinking about you…"

Clara was stunned by Sera's outburst and tried to explain, only to be stopped by her hand.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I know your intention, Clara, and I am really thankful to you. But I just want to say that sometimes you need to look with clear eyes before judging someone."

After what happened today, Sera had decided Lucien was the only one for her. So, she was quite sensitive when it came to him.

That's why, even though it was Clara's usual way of expressing her opposition to Lucien by talking like this, this time she didn't let it slide like before.
