Supreme Devil Lord: I Can Refine All Energy-Chapter 58: Expensive Water [18+]

"Mm." Rosalie nodded, looking away from him, not able to meet his gaze.

Eric just grinned at this and went out before returning with a jug of water and a glass. He drank first, quenching his thirst before pouring her a glass.

"Here." He offered it to her. Rosalie slowly sat up and took the glass. After she drank it, Eric asked if she wanted more, to which she shook her head.

Nodding, he took the glass and placed it and the jug on a table in the corner of the room. Afterwards, he climbed onto the bed, looked between her legs to see her red and swollen labia, and asked, "Does it hurt too?"

Rosalie wanted to find a hole to hide hearing his words, but she still nodded. Then thinking something, she hesitantly looked at him and asked, "Um, my lord... You want to do it again?"

"Yes." Eric’s answer made her panic. No matter how much she enjoyed his rough treatment earlier, she knew she wouldn’t be able to endure it again. At least, she needed to rest for a while more before doing it again. But... She couldn’t afford to refuse and risk dissatisfying him either. So, she secretly gritted her teeth and opened her mouth, "W-We can do—"

To her surprise, Eric interrupted her, and looking into her eyes, he said in a solemn voice, "You are my maid now, my servant, but not my slave. So, if there is something you don’t like, feel free to say it. I wouldn’t get angry, nor will I abandon you just because of that."

"I understand," Rosalie nodded after a moment. But in her mind, she thought he said this just for saying’s sake and didn’t really mean it. Therefore, if she complained about things and didn’t satisfy him properly, she very well could be abandoned, which she didn’t want.

Seeing she didn’t say she needed to rest even after him telling her that, Eric sighed, realizing she would get comfortable with him with time. Besides, he had become hard again and therefore couldn’t care about it right now.

Sitting up, he straddled her chest. Rosalie was confused for a moment, but when she saw his cock in front of her face, she realized what he wanted.

Eric grabbed his excited member and pressed it on her lips, saying, "Since your kitty down there needs rest, use your mouth to satisfy me."

Rosalie hesitated briefly before opening her mouth, allowing him to put it inside her. She then grabbed his shaft with one hand and started stroking it while trying her best to suck on it.

"Ahg~ nice. Keep it up." Eric moaned. After a while, he leaned forward, stood up on his knees, grabbed her head with one hand while supporting himself with the other, and started moving his hips back and forth, forcing her to deepthroat him.

...

Two hours later, Rosalie was sprawled on the bed, naked and unconscious.

Eric sat on the bed beside her, heaving deep breaths while looking at her naked, thoroughly fucked form with a glint in his eyes.

Her legs were spread apart, showing her red and extremely puffed pussy lips, secreting his slimy white liquid. Her heaving breasts had many red fingerprints and bite marks.

Even after face-fucking her for several minutes and unloading a load in her throat, he wasn’t satisfied. Therefore, thinking her pussy had rested enough, he started fucking her and only stopped after he had climaxed three times more inside her, filling her womb with his cum.

Though he thoroughly exhausted Rosalie and himself too, he finally felt relaxed, and his out-of-the-place emotions had come under his control. He still felt guilty for indirectly causing Liam’s father’s death and still felt bad because of Liam and Leah’s resentment, but it no longer bothered him.

’All I can do now is learn from my mistake and make sure I don’t leave any hidden threat behind in the future and do my best to take care of Liam, Leah, and Elsa.’ He thought before taking a deep breath and checking his refined energy stat.

[Refined Energy: 220]

After realizing Luke had come and probably had brought a warrior with him, he had absorbed the 3.5 kilograms of spirit stone powder, which gave him around 250 RE units. Then he used 50 of them to buy the Wind Blade Talisman, and 1 or 2 to scan Joan. He only had around 200 units left after that.

’I only got less than 20 units after doing it four times.’ He sighed. He could have gotten more if he had used his dual cultivation technique, but he wasn’t in the mood to do that.

Walking out of the room, he glanced out of the window and saw there were still five to six hours before the sunset when he planned to return to Liam’s house.

’Hopefully they would have sorted out their feelings by then.’ He thought before entering the bathroom to take a bath. But frowned when he saw there was just one bucket of water left.

’It’s not going to be enough for both of us.’ He thought before asking, ’System, can I buy water from the system shop?’

[You can, host.]

’Okay. Buy one bucketful for me.’ He ordered.

[One bucket of water, 20 liters, cost 0.5 SP. Do you want to proceed? (Yes/No)] System asked for confirmation.

Eric’s eyes widened in shock. "Why is it so expensive?"

In slums, though they had to walk a long distance, they could get as much water as they wanted from the stream flowing through the city for free. But here it was so expensive. Though he had yet to calculate approximately how many credits were equal to one unit of refined energy, he guessed it was easily in the hundreds. Let alone paying several hundred, even 10 credits for one bucket of water was a very expensive deal.

[Host, in the system shop, the price of most resources is an average of their prices across countless worlds.] The system briefly explained.

Upon hearing this, understanding dawned upon him.

’It doesn’t mean if a resource is cheap in one world, it would have the same value in other worlds. It could be a lot more expensive. No wonder the spirit stones are cheaper in the shop compared to the market.’ He thought. But then he raised his brows in confusion, ’Then does this mean spirit energy is more abundant in the universe than water?’

[That’s not necessarily the case, host, because a few other factors also affect the price of the resources in the ##@###.] The system responded.

Eric nodded in understanding. Then, the system asked again.

[Would you like to proceed with your purchase host? (Yes/No)]

Eric hesitated for a bit and glanced at the bucket of water. If they used it sparingly, they could both clean themselves, but they would still have the smell of sex, and he couldn’t go to Liam’s house smelling like that. So, he said, ’Yes, buy it.’

[Purchase successful, host. The water has been stored in the inventory.] 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Four out of ten inventory boxes were now gray. One had the bag of the spirit stone powder, now drained. The second had the physique refinement scroll, the third had his crystal card, and the last one had water.

Seeing each occupied a slot even though their sizes/volumes were different, he asked the system, ’What’s the capacity of these inventory slots?’

[Each of these slots can be considered a small room, host, of 10 cubic meters with 2 meters length and width and 2.5 meters height. You can store any single item as long as it fits these dimensions.]

’That’s quite big. If I could store multiple things in one until it was filled, it would have been better.’ He thought, shaking his head.

He was about to unload the water in an empty container when he thought of something: ’System, is it possible to open the inventory right above my head so the water would fall on me?’

[You can assign the exit point of the inventory’s items anywhere within a meter of yourself. So, yes, it’s possible.]

"Nice!" He grinned and then willed the opening to appear two feet above his head and made it smaller so only a little water would exit. Then, closing and opening the inventory according to his needs, he cleaned himself.

"How convenient!" He muttered after he was done. He could tell if his thoughts were more flexible, taking a bath would have been even more effortless and efficient. Even after he was done, he still had over 5 liters of water left.

Walking out after dying his body, he sat down cross-legged on the ground on a carpet. He was going to start tempering his body, and because he was worried about ruining his clothes in case his body secreted those horrible-smelling impurities again, he was naked.

’System, remind me when five hours have passed.’

[Understood, host.]
