NOVEL SIMPLE Did you really think I wasn’t going to eat you? (78)
'Wow~ The rumors of him being a disciple of the outer courtyard are true' muttered for Sefia to herself as she followed Ruvan to his residence.
"Make yourself comfortable..."
"I'm sorry I can't offer you much, but I just moved in" Ruvan said with an apologetic smile as he took out his wine gourd along with two gold goblets.
"T-Thank you" Sefia said as she nervously accepted the goblet with spirit wine....
"Mmm it's pretty good..."
'Incredible... I had never seen a residence in the tenth district. Without a doubt they are authentic mansions'.
It was well known that only the most important disciples of the outer court lived in tenth district.
"So... Tell me a little about yourself..." Ruvan said with a smile as he sat across from the smart looking girl.
'Mmm this girl has quite a particular charm... I wouldn't describe her as beautiful but she has a facade of smart and sophisticated that sure makes her attractive'.
Sefia had neither the best body nor the best talent but no doubt her confident personality conveyed a certain kind of charm that only cultured people like Ruvan could appreciate.
"As I said before my name is Sefia Lifkas and I have been a disciple of the outer courtyard of this sect for a year and a half..."
"I was born and raised in a small village composed mostly of mortal inhabitants. I was fortunate enough to be apprenticed to a cultivator in my village. Thanks to that and other opportunities, I was able to enter this Sect" Sefia said as she briefly summarized her path to becoming a disciple of the Hidden Flower Sect.
"Do you have family?"
"Yes I do... Although I wouldn't describe my relationship with my family as the best I still have a couple of younger siblings, who I worry about" said Sefia honestly. From a young age her relationship with her parents was strained because they were fiercely opposed to her being a cultivator. Her older siblings were the same leaving only her two younger brothers as her only true link to her family.
"Mmm I see..."
"You said earlier that you could be of use to me... Tell me how you could help me?" Ruvan said with a serious look after all he wanted to hear an explanation to details from Sefia.
"I can help you in recruiting potential mates as well as managing your resources and those of your mates..."
"The Sect is in a very complicated situation... Many gangs like the one you just faced are roaming around the Sect attacking and extorting disciples. Many of the female disciples have been forced to give their bodies to gang members to avoid their harassment."
"However, there are a large number of female disciples who refuse to surrender to these guys... Many of them are talented cultivators, some of them are even possessing special physiques."
"Mmm and you can help me get them?"
"It's not that easy, after all that will depend on your own ability. But if you need information about them and those who court her I am the right person. Also, although there aren't many of them, I have some contacts with a couple of elders in the outer courtyard who may be of use to you for when you need to move discreetly..." Sefia said earnestly. She certainly sold herself as a rather capable woman.
"Mmm I see.. Interesting."
"It's true that I need to find cultivation partners..." Ruvan admitted after taking a sip from his golden cup.
"You're a user with a special physique, aren't you? I'm sure many girls would be more than willing to give themselves to you. Your identity as a personal disciple of the Sect Master, is extremely attractive to ambitious women" Sefia said with a half smile after all she was the same way.
"Ambitious women like you?"
"..." Sefia
"Isn't it dangerous to play with women, without feelings?" Ruvan took the opportunity to tease Sefia a bit, but Sefia deftly evaded his comments as she replied sharply.
"..."
"Not if they get attached first... Besides you don't have to worry, after all that would be my task..." Sefia said with a ruthless smile. No doubt the woman in front of Ruvan had already thought of various methods to bend Ruvan's future mates....
Ruvan took the opportunity to tease Sefia a bit, but Sefia deftly evaded his comments as she replied sharply.
'Mmm she's quite a capable girl...'
Sefia took her time to explain to Ruvan some of her ideas as well as the political situation within the outer courtyard....
The tour Yurie had given him had been informative and helpful, but in no way compared to all the information he was learning from Sefia at the moment.
After this conversation Ruvan finally realized just how deep the corruption within the Sect went.
'I am one hundred percent sure that those gangs are supported by Elder Clayton and his minions. From what Sefia says, they don't seem to be affected by the Hall of Discipline's investigations'.
'Plus the information on the unmarried female disciples will no doubt be quite helpful... There seem to be a lot of little sheep on the loose waiting to be caught'
'Apparently my time in the Outer Courtyard might be extended a bit after all I need to pace myself slowly to avoid attracting the attention of that bastard Clayton' Ruvan thought to himself with a smile as he prepared himself for a life full of entertainment and women.
"I must thank you..."
"You've helped me a lot with all the information you've given me today..."
"But now comes the most important thing... You haven't told me what you want in return for all your services?" Ruvan said with a smile. Just like Jena he was sure that the girl in front of him was looking for something.
"Mmm I would like to be the Regent of your Harem when you become the consolidated Dual Cultivator..." Sefia said with a soft smile.
'He is not only the personal disciple of the sect master, but also the personal disciple of a Supreme Elder of the Thousand Desires Sect... The chance of meeting someone of his status in the outer courtyard of this sect is practically impossible...'
Sefia knew Jena's identity after all she had always paid attention to the small details that everyone used to ignore.
'Controlling a harem of such status would give me a far greater reach and influence than many of the sect Masters in the region...'
Sefia had already studied quite well all the possibilities that joining Ruvan represented, so when the time came she simply stopped hesitating and jumped right into it.
"Mmm interesting... Instead of wanting to be part of my harem you aspire instead to control it... You certainly are quite an ambitious girl. Don't you think?" Ruvan said with a wide grin.
"If you show me your competence I have no problem letting you take charge of my harem."
"After all I like intelligent women..." Ruvan said with a smile.
Sefia breathed a sigh of relief. All that was left was to strive to earn Ruvan's trust....
"Then I think we're done... I'll come early tomorrow morning to discuss the..." Before she could finish, Sefia felt Ruvan's arms wrap around her waist....
"Did you really think I wasn't going to eat you?" teased Ruvan with a smile as he dragged the paralyzed girl straight to her room.
