Attribute Farming System-Chapter 99: Do You Mind?

FWOOOSH!

A Half-Saint Ranked Healing Pill shot through every single one of the holes perfectly, moving at a speed that defied common sense. Yet, just before it could collide with the Black-ranked Barrier and destroy itself, it stopped in the blink of an eye. It then undulated toward the half-alive girl before entering her mouth and dissolving—without Cela doing a single thing.

This occurrence shocked the hearts of everyone watching!

"Such control and mastery over one's Innate Energy," Luna muttered. "How is it possible?" Solaris added in disbelief.

Seeing him use such mysterious methods disturbed Yennefer even more than before. Realizing that what she had seen of him thus far had been merely the tip of the iceberg left her feeling as if she were slowly but surely sinking into a morass of despair.

'Just… just how much further will he get ahead of me…?' she couldn't help but wonder as unease gnawed away at her.

The Six-Winged Seraphim, however, had a very different reaction to this development.

"The World Serpent actually snagged something like you before I could. With the mystical stage you achieved in the Qi Condensation Realm, you are sure to rattle the Azura Empire to its very core."

Ignoring the Six-Winged Seraphim, Knox impatiently watched as the medicinal properties of the Half-Saint Pill assimilated into Cela. His trepidation only disappeared when he saw her complexion improve. Her body quickly began to restore itself—melding together bones, repairing skin tissue, and making her whole again.

Realizing that he had felt a huge wave of relief just now, Knox shook his head.

'I just want her alive for the benefits she can provide me. That's all. Stop overthinking things, Knox Falazar.'

After experiencing a full recovery, Cela painstakingly lifted herself up. She rubbed her temples, the lingering headache a persistent irritation. However, within seconds, the residual pain vanished without a trace.

"Umu…?" Question marks practically floated above her head. "What happened to me? The pills I consumed definitely weren't working… Did I not die?? How unusual—wait, was it the work of my Darling???"

Seeing her shoot a heart-filled gaze in his direction, Knox instantly averted his eyes. He hid behind his hands, doing his best to act invisible—even though he had no covert Martial Skills activated.

He hoped with all his existence that she wouldn't misinterpret the situation—

"This means you love me just as much as I love you, Darling~!!"

Too late…

"Goddamnit…"

Hiding out of sight and out of mind, Knox waited until Cela got bored. He then turned around and watched as she chose her treasures like it was Christmas.

In the end, she walked away with several mid- and peak-grade Heaven-ranked items, as well as two Half-step Saint-grade items.

The first of these two was a girly bracelet that tremendously improved one's affinity with the Darkness Element. She immediately tried offering it to Knox but received an instant rejection. A pout stayed plastered on her face for a while, but she eventually got over it.

When she finally got around to equipping the bracelet, she was very surprised to feel her battle power improve by an entire Minor Realm!

The second Half-step Saint-grade item she picked—also the most expensive one—was a risqué technique that involved none other than—

Dual Cultivation!

And could one guess what she did with said technique?

Absolutely nothing! Because Knox adamantly refused to give in to temptation and take the easy way out! (No matter how tempting it might have been…)

However, luckily for Cela's unwise spending decisions, the Duality of Shadows Dual Cultivation Technique could also improve one's cultivation when the user merely imagined doing it with the one they loved. Moreover, the more intense the emotions involved, the more effective the technique.

Which, for Cela… was beyond easy.

It did, however, have her creepily giggling with a finger in her mouth as she watched Knox 'very' intently.

But overlooking that, her cultivation speed increased more than threefold after acquiring the Half-step Saint-grade Duality of Shadows Cultivation Technique!

While Knox was being constantly bugged by the pink-haired yandere still reveling in her rewards, a muddle-minded fiancée took the stage. She approached the Moleseum, took a deep, cold breath, then moved forward with an icy countenance.

The Blue Barrier was passed in an instant, with Yennefer not sparing even a single glance at the treasures inside!

SHA!

The Red Barrier! Passed!

SHA!

The Silver Barrier! Passed!

SHA!

The Gold Barrier! Passed!

Then came the Diamond Barrier—the one that had nearly sent Cela Bonanier into the afterlife. It seemed to stare Yennefer down, as if trying to steer her away from certain doom.

Yet, she still stepped forward, dismissing the treasures of the Gold area as if they were nothing but trash.

However, as she felt the immense gravity of the Diamond Barrier buckle her knees and force her teeth to clench, Yennefer couldn't help but occasionally look behind her. Her eyes always tracked back to the same exact spot—a spot occupied by an ethereal man with an emotionless persona.

But each and every time she caught a glimpse of him, regret sank deeper into her core.

The way… the way he looked at her was not the same as with Cela. And for some reason, this bothered her—

It bothered her a lot.

It was also this deeply unsettling feeling that allowed Yennefer to pass through the Diamond Barrier without making a peep. However, when she looked down and saw the current state of her body, the adrenaline drained from her system. Her already weakened kneecaps gave out, causing her to collapse into a puddle of her own sweat.

She lay helpless on the floor. Just like with Cela's Heaven-ranked Physique, Yennefer's Heaven-ranked Physique did very little to help her.

Then again, it was only because of those formidable physiques that they were even able to make it past the Diamond Barrier in the first place…

Observing her predicament, Knox silently deliberated.

Sighing after coming to a decision, he looked up at the hovering Six-Winged Seraphim. And though large amounts of perspiration had built up on the powerful entity's face, that didn't stop Knox from voicing his question:

"Do you mind?"
