First Night

"Sooo, what is our dinner this time, my dear?"

Itori asked as she looked at the excellently arranged steak from Demon Drake before her. It looked very beautiful and delicious just from one look.

This was something that Lucien cooked for her, so she was very happy. She also knew that the meat of the stronger species could increase their RC Level; because of this, Itori had a very high RC Level.

Already more than ten thousand, as this was Lucien's achievement. He constantly gave her blood essences refined from demons and fused with his own blood.

"Demon Drake."

Answered Lucien honestly.

Itori already knew about many demons, but she didn't finish reading the entire book about demons and so, so she didn't know every demon there.

"What is Demon Drake?"

Asked Itori hearing his answer. She didn't know about Demon Drake. Lucien smiled faintly and recalled everything he knew about Demon Drake.

"Demon Drake is demonized drake in reality. Drakes are subspecies of the real Dragon Race, and thus they are many times weaker. Demon Drake isn't that strong creature, and fortunately, when it crossed through the portal and arrived at our world, it was already wounded, so grandfather managed to kill it quickly. Demon Drakes are rather small, only three meters in height and five meters in length; even though they have wings, they can't fly for a long time or can't fly at all."

Drakes weren't that rare, and in every realm where were dragons, you would find drakes for sure. Adult Drake has strength around 4th Star to 5th Star strong.

Only a minority of them could reach the 6th Star or higher, as it highly depends on their bloodline. Drakes are subspecies of dragons, and dragons are the originators of their bloodline.

That means they can't reach higher ranks as their bloodline originators.

After they finished eating the Demon Drake's meat, Lucien took Itori to the Christmas tree, where several cases already awaited her. She was surprised to see this and also eager to know what presents she would get.

"Open that small one first."

Lucien said as he pointed at the smaller package under the giant Christmas tree. It was decently packed and looked tiny compared to other packages. Itori took the little package and unpacked it. Beneath the wrapping paper, there was a steel box with the words Tiffany on it.

Her eyes shined when she saw it and immediately opened it.

Inside the box was the necklace; it had an ancient design and was lined with diamonds with one blood ruby in the middle of it. The entire necklace was made of pure gold, and it looked extremely beautiful. Lucien then took it from her hands and wrapped it around her neck.

To this, Itori gave him one very passionate long kiss before she returned back to reality from her endless happiness.

"Thank you very much; it's sooooo beautiful."

Lucien nodded and then proceeded to unpack the rest of the packages there. Besides the necklace, Lucien also gave her a bunch of blood essences and some old books on martial arts that suited her.

These books were the ones he got from the Ancestral Shrine of the Shi Xue Clan.

Itori quickly looked at all those blood essences shining there with bloody red color and also an ancient-looking book, which was named 'Basic of the Martial', the book was talking about basic martial arts and was used to create a foundation, a firm one for the cultivator.

"Do you like it?"

Questioned Lucien in a gentle voice as he pulled Itori into an embrace.

She almost had tears in the corners of her eyes as she looked at all of the presents from him. Itori started passionately kissing Lucien on his lips. After a short period of kissing, she started to undress until she was totally naked. Lucien admired her beauty, and he, too started to undress.

Soon, only sounds of pleasure and moans were echoing through the estate. Fortunately, the entire estate was empty, so no one would see or hear them. Curtains and sunblinds were covering the windows, so even from the outside, nobody could look inside the room.

***

25th December, the next day morning, Lucien's estate

Both Lucien and Itori were lying naked on the floor of the living room, covered only by a simple fur blanket. Lucien was the one who woke up first, and he looked at Itori, who was sleeping beside him. There was a bit of blood stain on the blanket from yesterday's night activity.

Lucien silently stood and clothed himself in the simple black kimono with a golden dragon pattern, the same golden dragon pattern as was the flag of the Wandenreich.

He went to the kitchen to make some coffee for himself and for Itori. After the coffee was made, he took the two cups together with him and returned to the living room.

Itori was already up, and she was covering herself with the fur blanket as she looked at Lucien with a blissful smile on her face. Lucien gave her one cup of coffee, sat beside her, and sipped from his cup of coffee.

"How is it?"

Asked Lucien about his coffee; he knew that he wasn't very good at making coffee, but at least he tried to make it.

"Good, but you were better."

Answered Itori as she licked her lips seductively.

When Lucien saw this, he immediately took her as they were going to do the deed again. Once again, moans were going through the entire estate, with the source of them being the living room.
