Wizard: Stronger through Marriage Chapter 4: Saintess and Witch

Within the confines of the study room.

"Thus, is it feasible to seek a wife with unique talents?"

David pondered the capabilities of his Golden Finger.

Could he awaken and amplify other bloodline powers through dual cultivation with a partner who possessed different bloodline attributes? This was his hypothesis, derived from the system's observed effects.

The fact that the Golden Finger had only recently activated, enabling him to awaken the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline, might be linked to Liya's possession of the same bloodline.

Regrettably, females with bloodline powers are exceedingly rare; otherwise, he would be eager to experiment.

Should he succeed in awakening additional bloodlines, it would signify the potential for engaging in dual or even multiple cultivation paths, thereby accelerating his power progression.

Beyond women with special bloodlines, this realm harbors other forms of extraordinary capabilities.

Consider the Saintesses of the Holy Light Church, who command the power of Holy Light, and the witches, viewed as demonic entities by the Holy Light Church, alongside the seldom-seen alien races.

Might he also acquire the powers of a Saintess and a witch through the system's mechanisms?

Naturally, these are merely speculations, requiring practical testing to ascertain their validity.

"For the present, my focus will be on strengthening the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline."

David resolved himself and moved towards the master bedroom, intending to engage in dual cultivation with Liya once more, driven by an urgent need for potent strength.

The unexpected development that transpired was Liya's exceptional initiative on this particular night.

"Young Master David."

Liya demurely averted her delicate face.

Recalling the Lord's benevolence towards her, she had long ago resolved to bear offspring for Young Master David.

A faint smile touched David's lips, and witnessing Liya's proactive demeanor, his previous reservations dissipated.

This night proved to be exceptionally prolonged.

[You have completed a cultivation session, Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline +10]

[Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline: Tier One (12/100)]

Cradling the soundly sleeping Liya, David opened the system panel for inspection.

Upon observing the experience bar for the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he rubbed them in disbelief.

+10!

This session of dual cultivation had augmented the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline's strength by a full ten points!

But what was the reason behind this surge?

The preceding dual cultivation session had yielded merely 1 point, yet this instance offered a tenfold increase!

David closed his eyes, attempting to retrace the day's events; nothing particularly significant seemed to have altered.

Wait.

It appeared Liya had taken the initiative this time.

Furthermore, after spending the day together, he could distinctly perceive the shift in Liya's mindset.

This facilitated a more seamless communication between them.

Therefore, could the enhanced depth of their interaction be the cause?

Perhaps the better the rapport with his wife, the greater the rewards he might reap.

...

A fortnight elapsed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout this period.

The bond between David and Liya grew increasingly profound.

[You have completed a cultivation session, Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline +18]

[Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline: Tier Two (189/500)]

Precisely as he had surmised, with improved communication, the acquired experience also saw an increase.

This advancement enabled his Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline to successfully ascend to Tier Two, thereby accelerating his cultivation.

Although the system's primary function was to fortify his bloodline, a transformation still occurred as the bloodline advanced from Tier One to Tier Two.

Coupled with the assistance of the Frost Wolf Secret Medicine, his Knight's Power was now approaching the pinnacle of Tier One Knight.

As his might expanded, so too did his physical prowess.

In recent days, he had even escalated the frequency of their dual cultivation sessions from once daily to twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Were it not for the concern that Liya's constitution might not withstand it, he would not have minded partaking in three or even four sessions per day.

"Young Master David, why not invite a few more sisters to join me?" Liya murmured softly, nestled in David's embrace.

During this time, the Gray Wolf Knight had approached her with a similar proposition, which Liya had readily accepted without opposition.

What Liya had not anticipated was Young Master David's refusal of this proposal, leaving her both touched and apprehensive, fearing her inadequacy in serving Young Master David well.

"If I truly connect with someone, I will accept them."

David offered gentle reassurance. As for him, incorporating ordinary women held no real significance.

Should he genuinely encounter an individual he admired, even if she were ordinary, he would give it consideration, yet stirring David's emotions was evidently no simple feat.

"Rather than seeking additional companions, you might better serve yourself by concentrating more on your own training," David jested.

Liya indeed possessed the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline, indicating she also held Knight Talent.

While incapable of activating the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline and thus unable to attain the Official Knight Level, with sufficient resources, cultivating to the rank of a High-tier Knight's Attendant was certainly achievable.

If Liya could attain the physical attributes of a High-tier Knight’s Attendant, she would be able to withstand his full power. The rate at which her Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline strength would increase would be no slower than acquiring additional women.

"Yes, I will definitely devote myself to my Breathing Technique." Liya rested her head on David’s chest, deeply moved.

Knight Cultivation resources were exceedingly scarce, and for the Lord to be willing to expend them on her made her feel cherished by him.

With this realization, she gently bit her lip and proactively snuggled closer to the Lord.

...

A new day dawned.

After partaking in breakfast, David led Liya to the secluded back garden.

He had previously issued a strict command that no one was to intrude upon this area, ensuring their privacy.

Given the constant unrest in Frost Wolf Ridge, with threats lurking on all sides, David intended to conceal the details of his Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline awakening and focus on his cultivation in seclusion for a period.

"This attire suits you perfectly."

David observed the young girl, circling her and nodding with evident approval.

Liya was now clad in a custom-made outfit, ingeniously fashioned from a maid uniform into practical training attire.

The top, crafted from a dark-hued cotton-linen blend, preserved the high-necked, long-sleeved silhouette characteristic of a maid’s outfit.

The neckline featured a modest opening secured by an intricately carved wooden button, while a subtle V-shaped cut on the chest was tied with delicate straps, forming an elegant knot.

The lower half, transformed from a maid’s skirt, now consisted of bloomers. These flared outwards from the thighs, creating a loose, voluminous balloon shape.

"Young Master David..."

Liya bashfully averted her gaze, unable to look directly at the Lord.

Despite being married for some time, the young girl’s cheeks still flushed easily, requiring considerable encouragement whenever David desired to explore new intimacies.
