Chapter 389: Changes (1)
Chapter 389: Changes (1)
Time passed. Now in the bedroom, after leaving Sophia to clean up the mess in the dining room, Christian leaned back against the headboard completely naked, while Annabelle lay on her stomach between his legs, taking his cock into her mouth, slowly sucking and licking away whatever remained of his release or her own love juice.
His fingers moved lazily through her hair, the flames of lust inside him finally calming little by little as his thoughts drifted elsewhere.
"What about the others?" he suddenly asked.
He didn't mention any names, but Annabelle naturally understood he meant Eva.
Pulling his cock from her mouth with a soft sound, she replied, "Eva is outside, checking on the construction of the new house."
Christian nodded lightly at the explanation, and watching him like that, Annabelle couldn't fully hide the faint jealousy in her eyes.
Even while alone with her, he was still asking about another woman.
Still, she said nothing. Instead, she lifted a finger to her lips, slowly wiping away what had spilled from the corner of her mouth before slipping the same finger back between her lips.
The moment the taste spread across her tongue again, Annabelle closed her eyes and let out a soft, satisfied hum.
Christian's cum had changed, just like his body.
Now it was richer. More intoxicating. More addictive.
Eva had always been far crazier about it than her, practically treating his cum as her main source of sustenance, and now… Annabelle was finally beginning to understand that obsession.
If this continued, she felt like she might end up becoming even worse than Eva.
A foolishly satisfied smile unknowingly spread across her face, an expression the old Annabelle, the proper older sister she once tried so hard to be, would have never shown.
Christian naturally noticed it. He had also noticed the trace of jealousy from earlier, but he didn't comment on either of them.
Instead, he simply smiled faintly and continued stroking her hair, while Annabelle lowered her head once more and returned her full attention to the cock, giving it slow, affectionate licks as if she couldn't bear to part with it just yet.
What she didn't tell him was that it wasn't a coincidence she was alone with him at this moment.
It was something she and Eva had already agreed upon beforehand.
Both of them had busy schedules now, yet both were also willing to throw everything aside just to spend more time with Christian. Because of that, they had quietly come to an understanding between themselves.
When one of them was with him, the other would handle whatever work needed to be done.
Naturally, if Christian called for them, both would come immediately, and if there was nothing important to do, they would still spend time together normally. But this arrangement still allowed each of them to occasionally have him to herself for a while.
And both women were quite satisfied with that.
Completely unaware of this agreement, Christian simply let Annabelle enjoy his cock at her own leisurely pace. Meanwhile, his attention gradually moved elsewhere.
Toward his Idle System.
Until now, he still hadn't removed the Lie Detection skill from his Idle Practice slots.
And now, it was finally time to replace it.
Before doing that though, Christian first opened his status window to properly check everything.

Looking at the status window floating in front of him, Christian couldn't help but feel satisfied.
The changes were significant.
Most of his skills had advanced, not only in proficiency but even in level. His rank had risen, and his numerical attributes had skyrocketed.
If the current him fought ten versions of himself from before meeting Anastasia, Christian was confident he could crush them instantly.
No. Forget ten. Even far more than that would still be easy for him now.
His strength had risen by that much.
And that wasn't even taking everything into account.
There was still the Iron Flame.
He had only just tamed it, yet even now, Christian could already tell how terrifying its power was. Just possessing it had more than doubled his offensive strength.
So naturally, his growth today was undeniably impressive.
Yet at the same time… when he calmed down and looked at things from another angle, things felt different.
If he only considered the direct progress of his skills, then despite the huge gains from entering the tranquility state, the improvement had actually been spread across too many abilities.
As a result, no single skill experienced some heaven-defying leap.
And if he looked at his overall level instead, the increase felt even smaller.
Especially considering that nearly a full year had already passed since meeting Anastasia.
He hadn't even gained five full levels during that time.
Though honestly, that outcome was natural.
All of his idle slots had been focused on developing Lie Detection recently, and the skill itself barely rewarded any significant amount of experience.
Shaking his head, Christian stopped dwelling on it.
Now that he planned to assign entirely different skills to his Idle Practice Slots, there was no point overthinking the past.
Instead, he focused on the changes before him more carefully, starting from the most obvious one.
His rank.
Second Stage.
He had really broken through.
Originally, Christian estimated he would need at least another full year before reaching this stage, yet unexpectedly, he had crossed that barrier today instead.
