077 THE LUST RECEPTORS
"Ah, I knew this day would come. Your magic has improved beyond the lust of a single person to satisfy", she said.
"Fuck, find me a better way."
"Well, exactly. You've earned yourself another reward, after you have rescued the princess," she replied, crossing her arms.
Mission Completed: Rescuing Princess Bara
Mission Completed: Eliminating the sect mages from the Sword Mountain Sect.
"A reward? Great," Leo asked.
With a swift motion, she granted Leo tiny, arcane receptors which appeared on his head, pulsating with faint energy.
"What the fuck are these?" Leo asked as he touched the tiny receptors on his head.
"Check your lust counter now," she urged.
To his surprise, the antennae absorbed the raw lust surrounding him—the pleasure and magic of the Amara women's ritualistic orgy reverberating through the room and flowing directly into him.
His Lust counter rose rapidly. He wasn't capturing his own lust now but also the lust of those around him.
"This is good," Leo thought with satisfaction. "Wait how far must I be at to capture lust with my special receptors?" Leo asked.
"You should feel for yourself," Vanessa said with a sly smile.
Leo closed his eyes and focused his senses. A wave of desire washed over him, pulling his attention to the next room—and then the one after that.
This inn wasn't just a place for rest. This was a haven for those seeking to indulge in passion and recharge their desires- a Love motel. Faint moans and muffled cries filtered through the walls, but Leo didn't need to be physically present to hear or feel it.
The energy of lust radiated from every corner, flowing into him like a magnetic force.
The realization struck him: his physical presence wasn't necessary to gather this lustful energy. With a calm confidence, Leo rose to his feet, startling the women around him.
"You are not going to leave so soon, we are not finished yet?" Bara shouted, angrily.
"You may continue with your fucking ritual. I am changing shifts, get a slave cock to stand in," he replied.
Not wanting to waste the ritual that already started, the Amara women brought in several men- their captured slave cocks. These were the men that served the Amara women's needs- their shared cocks.
The Amara women couldn't care less who they rode as long as the ride was fun. While they continued their fervent revelry, Leo left the room and sought out Yun-Yun.
Kasshyek followed Leo when he stopped him. "You can stay and watch them."
Kasshyek stayed behind to watch over the Amara women. He didn't complain.

"You are back so soon? You're recharged your lust already?" Yun-Yun asked Leo with a curious smile.
"Turns out, I've found a way to refill my lust without, well, direct fucking," he said, gesturing to the magical receptors on his head hidden among his crown.
She examined them with a knowing expression. "A demonic extension—used to siphon magic from others."
"Yes, I got them from the System. It's the only useful thing they've given me in a while," Leo said dryly.
"That's not true," Vanessa interjected, crossing her arms.
Leo turned to her, his gaze sharp. "Why are you still here?" he asked.
"I forgot to mention," Vanessa began, leaning casually against the wall. "The lust receptors you got from the System only amplify what you're already generating. If you're not feeling lust yourself, even if there's an orgy around you, you won't absorb anything."
"What the hell? I have to be in lust to gather lust?" Leo exclaimed loudly, frustration coloring his tone.
To confirm, he checked his lust counters. Sure enough, after leaving the room with Bara and the Amara women, the counter hadn't budged.
"Damn it," Leo muttered, turning to Yun-Yun. "I can't believe I have to feel lust to harvest it!"
Before he could say more, Yun-Yun stepped closer.
Her dress slipped off her shoulders, pooling at her feet as her bare body pressed against his. She pulled him down for a kiss, her warmth igniting something deep within him. Their bodies melded together, and Leo felt his lust begin to stir, rising rapidly.
Yun-Yun broke the kiss and whispered softly, "You know, I'm actually glad about your new feature. I was worried I wouldn't be enough to help you generate lust magic. With my chastity seal and all."
Leo looked at her, his voice tender. "It's not lust I'm after—it's your company. Your exclusive company."
"I know," she replied with a gentle smile, pulling him back into another kiss.
Their intimacy grew, yet Leo noticed something was off. His lust counter wasn't rising as much as it should.
Vanessa's voice cut through the moment like a blade. "The same person can't satisfy the lust of a demon god forever. You'll need a harem to sustain your engine of lust. Being with the same woman repeatedly will diminish your capacity to generate lust."
"Damn it," Leo muttered, explaining the System's rules to Yun-Yun.
Yun-Yun paused, her expression calm and unbothered. "It's alright," she said softly. "I know how you feel about me, and I'm not the jealous type. I can share your body with my new sisters in the future."
Leo looked at her thoughtfully, her words stirring a mix of emotions. "Yun-Yun," he began, his voice earnest, "I can't promise to be yours alone, but I promise you will always be first in my heart."
Yun-Yun smiled, embracing him tightly.
They held each other for a long time, the world fading around them. Even as his lust counters stagnated, it didn't matter. In that moment, their connection, their shared warmth, was worth far more than any power the System could provide.
After a while Yun-Yun pushed Leo away.
"Now that you don't have to waste time recharging your lust, let me train you how to improve your magic", she said.
"Are you teaching me how to level up now?" Leo asked, a grin playing on his lips.
"I don't know about the demon's way of leveling up," Yun-Yun replied with a soft smile, "but there's a way to enhance your magic using a more… traditional approach instead of blood sacrifices."
