After traveling for two days, Max, Esme, and Ling Han, who was carrying his still unconscious sister, reached a city on the outer fringes of Inner SectorâMalta City.
Though Malta was called a city, it wasnât any bigger than a town. The only difference was that there were stronger mages in the city, and it was ruled by a family clan that barely qualified to rank in Emperor Rank Powers because it only had a single Early Stage Emperor holding the fort.
Despite the apparent weakness of the ruling family and even with the presence of more powerful forces and independent mages, it had continued to rule over the town for hundreds of years now.
How was this possible?
Well, simply because it was backed by a top-tier Emperor Rank Power in the Inner SectorâBeast Emperor Hall.
After leaving the town, they were without any destination. Recalling the rumor about the Beast Emperor Hallâs recruitment, he asked Esme about it, and since it was a Peak Emperor Rank Power, she knew about it.
When he asked her advice on whether he should join it, Esme nodded after a moment of thought. Then, they asked around and found out one of the nearby cities, Malta, was backed by the Beast Emperor Hall and there was a teleportation formation connected to it.
Since the Beast Emperor Hall was very far awayâthey would need to travel for at least one month non-stop at their top speedâso to save their time and eliminate the risk of facing problems on the way, they decided to travel to Malta City and use the teleportation formation there.
Unlike the border town, the city only required them to pay 10 High Grade Mana Stones to enter, and there was no limit on how many days they could stay inside. So, after paying 40 High Grade Mana Stones, they entered the city.
Though not too large, it was bustling and different from any other cities Max had visited because many of the people they could see had a beast by their side.
Right in front of them, a twenty-something-year old man was coming toward them, or rather the city gate, riding on a three meter tall, tiger-type beast exuding a fierce and wild aura that made weaker people retreat unconsciously.
"Open the gates! Let the disciple Rong pass." A guard shouted and without the man on the tiger saying anything, he opened the gates, his expression respectful.
"Oh? That guy is Beast Emperor Hallâs disciple?"
"Of course. Otherwise why would the guards show him such respect?"
Maxâs group stepped to the side, letting the man and beast pass.
Disciple Rong ignored everyone chattering in the surroundings and even the guards. He had an expression on his face that said he was beyond everyone. It was arrogant, but not one that offended people too much.
Maxâs gaze flickered, "Interesting!"
Esme, as though she could read his mind, smiled and said,
"After the seven Sovereign Powers and Monarch Rank Powers, the peak Emperor Rank Powers are the strongest. Moreover, the Sovereign Powers and most Monarch Rank ones try not to meddle in worldly affairs. This makes the peak Emperor Powers â
trueâ
ruling parties. So, being a disciple of one of them, he naturally feels proud."
Max nodded in understanding as they continued on their way.
Soon, they found an Inn to stay. After two days of almost non-stop travel, they were tired and needed to rest.
Soon, they found a not so expensive Inn and booked two rooms for 100 High Grade Mana Stones eachâone for Max and Esme, and the other for Ling Han and his sister.
Anna and others were inside the small black tower around which Max had tied a string and hung it on his waist. Since it was broken and unassuming, it wasnât eye-catching. And the reason he didnât store it in his spatial ring was because it could not be stored in a spatial device.
...
Plop!
"Ah, finally some rest!" Max groaned as he plopped onto the soft bed.
Esme smiled at him. Normally, he acted as if he was a mature person, but sometimes when he acted his age, she found that very refreshing.
"What are you smiling about?" Max asked, noticing her smile.
"Nothing." Esme shook her head and asked, "Shouldnât you let them out now?"
Max shook his head, "Anna, Esther, Garima, Rima and Nyra are cultivating. Ellie is looking after her mother and is having fun talking with Gene and Maria. As for Noah, he is resting. So, itâs better if I donât disturb them."
Saying this, he stood up, walked over to her and pulled her in his embrace, "So, itâll be the two of us for a while."
Esme blinked her limpid eyes sensually and bit her lower lip while her arms circled around his neck.
How could Max resist? He dove down and took her luscious lips, kissing her intensely.
Haa~
After a long while, Max broke the kiss, breathless.
But as he saw her heaving chest and flushed face with an intoxicated look in her beautiful eyes, he couldnât stop himself from kissing her again while his hands roamed around her body before going down to her motherly, round ass. He fondled her cheeks and dug his fingers into her soft flesh, squeezing them.
Mm~
Esme let out a sweet nasal moan and started rubbing her thighs together, evidently turned on.
A sly smile appeared on Maxâs face and he slowly began to undress her, but just then, she pushed him away, breaking the kiss.
"Let me take a bath first." She said and started walking to the attached bathroom, swaying her hips.
Maxâs eyes lit up. Within a second, he took off his clothes and rushed over to her, picking her up in his arms.
Kya~
Esme squealed playfully, "What are you doing?"
Max stepped inside the bathroom as he lowered his face and pecked her lips before grinning, "I also need a bath."
"Alright then. Just simple bathing. No mischievousness." Esme declared.
"Sure," Max nodded seriously.
"Ahn~ Hnng~ Mmn~ I said no mischief Nng~"
Squelch! Squelch!
Less than two minutes later, he had Esme bent over in front of him. His hands on her hips, he was furiously moving his waist back and forth, his thick, veiny cock sliding in and out of her pretty pink and puffy pussy while making erotic squelching sounds.
