Violetta had completely immersed herself in cultivation because she had far too many resources now, all thanks to Damian.

Thanks to those resources and her genius comprehension, her cultivation speed became terrifyingly fast despite her Mortal Grade Spiritual Root.

Soon enough, her cultivation had finally reached the Sixth Stage of the Qi Refining Realm, the limit of the middle stages.

She herself found it hard to believe that she had even managed to reach this stage when, not even a month ago, she had almost died on the street.

And now, not only had her spiritual root recovered, but she had also reached such a high realm. On top of that, she had a really good master who doted on her.

Aside from cultivation, she also made time to learn the martial arts that Damian had given her, like the Thousand Illusion Sound Art and the Thunder Flash Steps.

Although she was still far from true mastery, at the very least, she now had the means to attack and escape, meaning that...

She finally had enough confidence to protect herself again and finally dared to take a walk outside. After all, it had already been weeks since she last left the residence.

The moment she went outside, she unconsciously headed toward the brothel district once more because, before entering Damian’s residence, this was the place where she had spent most of her life.

Meanwhile, many people along the streets still occasionally glanced toward her beautiful appearance.

But she didn’t care, as she had her master now, so she wasn’t afraid of them daring to do anything to her.

Then she quietly walked past one of the brothels and suddenly heard several women chatting excitedly nearby.

She wanted to ignore them, but the moment she heard them mention her master, she directly turned her head and walked closer.

She wondered why the hell her master’s name had suddenly appeared from their mouths.

"Did you hear? That Young Master Damian really gifted High-Rank Profound Grade Spirit Gathering Pills!"

Another woman quickly nodded excitedly. "Yes! I heard it too! They said he casually gave entire bottles away! And not just once either!"

The first woman sighed emotionally afterward. "He really became so generous recently... If only I had been chosen too..."

Violetta stood there silently for several moments while listening to the women talk excitedly.

The more she listened, the more unbelievable it sounded. How could her master, who had suddenly given her so many things, also give those same kinds of treasures not to others, but to courtesans in brothels...?

Wanting to find out the truth, Violetta directly walked toward the group of women.

The moment the courtesans noticed her approaching, their expressions immediately changed slightly.

They were surprised to see Violetta because they remembered that she had disappeared for a long time after being crippled.

And also, they didn’t dare to do anything to her, as it seemed that Violetta still kept her beauty, meaning she could still become the most famous courtesan in the city.

Before, many wealthy young masters had once fought over her attention, so now that she was here, they were afraid they might suddenly make her mad or something.

So the moment she walked toward them, they couldn’t help becoming somewhat nervous.

Especially after noticing how refined and calm Violetta’s aura now felt. Clearly, she was no longer the same as before.

Soon, Violetta looked toward them and asked directly, "The Young Master Damian you mentioned earlier... who exactly are you talking about?"

The courtesans looked at each other awkwardly and thought that Violetta maybe wanted a share of Damian’s generosity.

They also knew that Violetta was technically their senior within the brothel world, so none of them dared to speak rudely or lie.

One of them bowed a bit and carefully answered, "It’s Young Master Damian... the Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Another woman quickly added afterward, "The one previously famous for always showing off everywhere, but recently, he suddenly changed completely."

The women themselves also sounded a bit shocked while speaking about him.

"He comes here almost every week now, and every single time, he gifts precious pills away like they’re worthless."

Meanwhile, Violetta completely froze because, from what they said, it really was her master, Damian, whom they were talking about.

Before meeting Damian, she also knew about his fame, but since she had almost died, she didn’t care back then and simply agreed to become his disciple.

But now, after seeing him change, she had finally calmed down, thinking that his fame might have just been a fake rumor. Yet she never thought it was actually true.

And suddenly, the perfume scent she had smelled from Damian earlier resurfaced inside her mind again.

At that moment, Violetta finally understood. Her master had just played with her like she was one of the courtesans in the brothel.

Knowing this, Violetta didn’t even know what the hell she was feeling anymore.

---

Damian grinned as another week finally passed once again, and that meant it was time for his weekly gifting. But this time, he didn’t know what the hell to give.

He had already gifted all the martial arts techniques to Violetta, but fortunately, he had already prepared a backup gift.

He casually took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, and the moment he looked at it, he grinned.

Inside it were top-rank profound-grade pills that he had bought, and these were not ordinary pills like Spirit Gathering Pills, but something much rarer.

He looked at them one more time and then stored the bottle back inside his ring.

Damian then walked toward the garden like usual, but to his surprise, Violetta wasn’t there. Then he went to her room but found that it was empty too.

Finally, he simply shrugged and sat down casually. "She probably went outside, as it has been ages since she last left."

Now, he casually leaned back, quietly waiting for her to come back, while also imagining what kind of pills he would get in return.
