One Last System - Chapter 436: Morning Struggle

I woke up sometime before the sun could rise and cast its warm rays upon the face of the planet.

Due to all sorts of holes in the walls and both of the windows within the room being broken, there was hardly anything that could protect me from the relative coldness of the night air. Hardly anything, but a thin blanket and Mia’s naked body pressed tightly against mine.

Upon waking up, I didn’t move, refusing to pull Mia out of her dreams. Instead, I calmed my breathing to ensure even such a small difference in my behavior wouldn’t alert her before looking back to the events of yesterday.

The discovery of the treasury slash bunker in the main room of the auction house was the biggest point of the day. And despite my logical claim of not willing to force it open I did spend quite a lot of time studying the most shallow of the formations within the cap that covered the entrance of this mysterious place.

Sure, they weren’t all that complicated. Or rather, they were insanely complex… just, due to the nature of the style in which they were constructed, it wasn’t even the slightest of challenges for me to figure out their purpose and role.

‘All in all, it was quite a productive day,’ I thought, running down all the worthwhile memories of yesterday, all the way to the point where I, along with only Mia and Levi, used the planks that were in a better shape than the others to construct a simple cover for the metal cap.

It was bound to attract someone’s attention… but for now, it was the best measure that we could afford.

After all, conscripting a lot of our limited manpower and using most of the spare resources we had to create a secure lock over the already locked entrance would bring far more interest to the metal cap than simply hiding it behind a lousy cover of two layers of wooden planks ever could.

‘And in the end, we didn’t find a single clue as to what this might be,’ I thought while slowly running down my fingers across Mia’s spine.

Her skin was extremely soft and warm in touch as if it was created by the very gods of this world for me to caress.

“Mhmm…” Mia released a small moan, reacting to the delicate cuddle while her lips curved up, forming a small, happy smile.

‘Even in her dreams, she enjoys my touch,’ I thought with satisfaction while enjoying every last bit of having her cuddle up close to me.

The only reason why our bed wasn’t dirtied with our internal juices was my fear of accidentally going too hard on her if we were to actively partake in the nightly activities. After all, just like I told her when I raised my cultivation while back on the road, I would rather wait for her to catch up so that we could enjoy ourselves without worry rather than risk inflicting even the slightest of injuries upon her.

‘I knew this would happen…’ I thought while forcefully restraining my fingers from grasping at Mia’s soft flesh, ‘but holding back is quite harder than I expected.’

Her breasts were squeezing against my chest, making her nipples poke me right in my ribs. Her slow, steady breath caressed my neck. Her hair tickled my chin. Due to Mia having her leg curled up, her thigh stroked my abdomen while her foot rubbed against my leg.

‘If there is one thing that I’m missing right now, it’s the ability to flex her on my friends and family,’ I thought, raising my hand and resting it upon Mia’s head so that I could play around with her hair for a bit.

“You are up…” Mia muttered in an adorable, sleepy voice a few moments after I started to mess with her hair.

“In every meaning of the world,” I joked a little while accurately describing the reality.

After all, I would have to be castrated or gay for my junior not to stand at attention when a peerless beauty like Mia was all over me!

“I’m sorry…” Mia muttered while remaining in the very same position that she slept in. Even though she was slowly waking up, she still wanted to squeeze a few more moments of sleep out of today’s morning. “I really wish I could satisfy you… I will work hard on my cultivation, I promise…” she rambled on in her half-conscious state.

After a few more moments, right when the first rays of the sun of the day shot through the holes in the wall to illuminate the room, Mia finally blinked her eyes a few times before slowly pushing herself up.

She moved up, allowing the blanket to fall down her waist, revealing the full beauty of her upper body to my eyes.

As if the gods were giving me a sign, the sun rays falling through the holes in the building’s wall fell right on top of Mia’s skin, making it shine like the most precious of stones. The delicate details of her hourglass figure made me wish to grab her by her sides. Her slim stomach made me wish to implant my seed inside. Then there were her two sizeable peaks, both in the perfect size for my hands to grasp at and adorned with two, pink cherries on their tops.

I stared wide-eyed at the sight of Mia’s sleepy beauty… Only for her to raise her arms up and stretch herself, tensing all of her upper body up and making her breasts perk up.

With her hips only loosely covered by the blanket and the position of her legs making it just impossible for me to glance at her secret place, I suddenly felt the desire to learn how to sculpt or paint, just so I could immortalize the sight I could currently enjoy.

Mia finished her stretch and looked down, instantly noticing my stare. She smiled as she allowed her hands to fall down along her waist only for her to move them up to my face, grasping my head right between her palms.

“Good morning,” she whispered as she leaned forward and pressed her full lips against my mouth, greeting a new day with a long, deep kiss.

Mia then slowly pulled her face away. She was still smiling… but I could see hints of sadness hidden behind her smile.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, feeling a wave of concern stifling my entire body.

“It’s nothing,” Mia avoided the topic and averted her eyes.

“Dear…” I pushed my upper body up so that I could match Mia’s eye level. I then grabbed her hands and brought them up to my lips before pressing a gentle kiss on top of her fingers. “Whatever it is, I don’t want to see the sadness in your eyes and will do everything to make it disappear,” I proclaimed.

Mia leaned her head a little before freeing her right hand and raising it up to my cheek. She then ran her fingers across my face… only to infuse a mischievous note into her smile as her hand suddenly fell down from my face… and landed right on my hard-on.

“It pains me that I can’t help you with it,” she added as she carefully stroked my erection.

Just like she said, I could feel the energy coiling within my dick, desperate to explode outwards and even out the difference between Mia and me.

It was only a short, gentle touch… but my body was ready to explode and get rid of this unevenness.

“Don’t worry,” I said, reaching out with my lips for Mia’s forehead before placing a gentle kiss right in the middle of it. “With most of the burning problems settled, we should be able to look into ways for helping you advance soon,” I assured my woman before moving my hand up her waist and then grabbing at her breast. “And if you won’t be able to hold yourself back anymore, just say a word,” I requested only to lean over Mia’s ear and add in a whisper, “even if I cannot penetrate you yet, I have a lot of ways to help you relieve yourself.”

I felt a chill shake Mia’s body a little. And I could see how her gaze turned from lovely… to a heated one.

And then, against all my wishes, I was forced to see the hint of sadness return to her eyes.

“Even if you help me, I’m still unable to help you,” Mia said, biting down on her lips in frustration.

“If that’s the case…” I took a moment to think, only to then purse my lips as I felt my cheeks suddenly burning.

The idea that appeared in my mind was both genius but also outrageous. And what was its greatest aspect… it was extremely embarrassing.

“I think I might have a solution. And who knows,” I smiled as I gave Mia’s tit a quick squeeze. “It might even help you advance.”
