Compared to those talented warlocks who lacked backing, Leilin was far better off.
He had the Chip as his trump card, giving him learning ability and operational capability that far surpassed those of ordinary wizards.
These translated directly into productive output, earning him enough resources to fund his cultivation and living expenses.
Thus, he had no need to seek support from major families like other wizards, relying on them for materials and academic knowledge.
In fact, because he carried too many secrets, he had to keep mostly to himself, hiding more of his hidden truths in the shadows.
As a result, he'd never entertained the thought of taking a partner. Occasionally sleeping with women was merely playing along with the occasion, or satisfying his own needs.
If Frey really tried to bait him with a Hall Gemstone, that would genuinely give him a headache.
But fortunately, he now had something she desperately needed, so there was no need to agonize over it.
Moreover, while the Bloodline Crystal couldn't completely cure her family's bloodline degradation, it could still very likely delay it for a period, giving Leilin some breathing room.
"How about it? Satisfied with the trade items?"
Kasha pouted petulantly. "If that's still not enough, add the two of us. Anyway, Frey is ready to do whatever it takes to get the Bloodline Crystal..."
"That's more than enough!" Leilin nodded, pretending he hadn't heard the second half of Kasha's words. "Please wait a moment, ladies!"
He rose and stepped into a separate corridor.
After Leilin left, the two female warlocks immediately relaxed.
Although they knew the entire Wizard Tower was under Leilin's surveillance, and the interior even more so, whether someone was physically present or not always felt different.
Moreover, these two women seemed to secretly hope that through the Tower Spirit, their conversation would be relayed back to Leilin.
"So? Feel better now?"
Kasha slumped lazily onto the soft sofa, the split hem of her robe subtly revealing two snow-white thighs.
"Mm!" Frey sighed in relief, though a trace of something like disappointment flickered through her heart.
"Actually, the Bloodline Crystal can at most delay bloodline degradation for a century. Eventually it's unavoidable, and the effect of using multiple Bloodline Crystals will plummet—in the end becoming completely useless!"
Kasha seemed to be goading Frey. "So the most reliable approach is still absorbing new blood! And with the purity of Leilin's bloodline, your family wouldn't have to worry about this for the next several hundred years!"
"Then why don't you do it?" A flush rose on Frey's face, but she retorted without backing down.
"I certainly want to, but didn't you see? He doesn't fall for that at all. What can I do?"
Kasha sighed, stepped forward a few paces, and lifted Frey's chin with her fingertip. "Such a beautiful, pure warlock, and that boy isn't tempted in the slightest. I really have to wonder if he's made of stone?"
"Sister Kasha isn't lacking either..." A glimmer of amusement passed through Frey's eyes as she placed both hands on the other woman's waist.
"It seems I'll have to teach you a lesson this time..." Kasha grinned mischievously and planted a kiss on Frey's lips.
"..."
Seeing this scene through the Tower Spirit, Leilin couldn't help but feel speechless.
These female warlocks were indeed wild, and quite resourceful at that—stopping at nothing to seduce him.
Unfortunately, because he needed to control his own bloodline, he could only watch and not partake, which left Leilin feeling somewhat frustrated.
"However..." A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Leilin's lips.
Before, he'd been afraid that those female warlocks might use some technique or witchcraft to steal his bloodline, which was why he refused to sleep with them. But ever since obtaining the Sandflow Organisation's bloodline synthesis research data, his understanding of bloodlines had deepened considerably.
Given just a little more time, he could definitely develop a technique to protect his bloodline essence and prevent any leakage of life seed. Combined with the Chip, even if every last one of those female warlocks was an insatiable predator, they wouldn't get anything from him.
When that day came, the expressions on those warlocks' faces—the ones who'd lose both the bait and the prize—would surely be quite spectacular.
As for now?
Watching the sizzling scene on the screen, Leilin felt a subtle heat building inside him.
It seemed he'd need to instruct Gubler to purchase some beautiful slave girls to cool off.
Leilin had never been one to deprive himself. All his enjoyments had to be the best, in every regard.
After all, what meaning was immortality if you couldn't fully enjoy its pleasures?
Though sorely tempted, Leilin waited politely for over a dozen minutes before re-entering the living room.
The living room had long since been tidied up. Even the two ladies' clothing was impeccably neat and spotless, their expressions perfectly calm—as if during that time they'd done nothing at all, simply waiting quietly for their host.
