Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 582 - 29: Ingrid’s Virtue and the Visit of a New Knight Order

Hearing Ingrid’s voice, Su Li turned with a smile to look at her, then directly extended his arms, pulling her into an embrace, gazing at the beautiful garden in the distance with her.

His hands naturally found their way to her flat abdomen; her body was as soft as her voice.

Being a witch, her muscles were much fewer than a knight’s, and her body felt soft and easy to hold.

Her laziness was normal since ever since Aeliria fell into slumber, only she and Hilude remained as Su Li’s female courtiers.

But Hilude was too busy; she could help her share the burden at night, but during the day, she was mostly occupied with handling territorial affairs and training attendants.

The Hesse Territory was now controlling the size of its army to reverse the fiscal deficit. With the scale reduced, maintaining the army’s combat effectiveness required Hilude to train the soldiers more strictly. Essentially, she did not have the leisure to accompany Su Li in daylight revelry.

So the burden of assisting Su Li in his training fell entirely on Ingrid.

In recent days, she’s been putting in three times the effort, yet struggles to satisfy Su Li’s ever-growing appetite for pleasure. There’s no help for it—Su Li himself bore the Red Dragon Bloodline and carried a Dragon Blood Stone daily; he was at an age of vigorous energy and was naturally filled with interest in such things.

After three days of continuous rain, once the sun came out, Ingrid immediately went to sun the sheets and quilts, to rid the dampness accumulating over the days.

Seeing the white sheets hanging beneath the tree branches, her face flushed slightly.

Life as a woman is truly amusing; as a child, wetting the bed earned beatings, whereas grown up, wetting the bed earned praise.

As a child, she was beaten for wetting the bed; grown up, wetting the bed was because of the beating.

Su Li too was deeply fond of this female courtier; she was indifferent to territorial affairs and had no interest in the secular world, most enjoying life in her tree house, being at peace alone with the world.

Or entwined in intimate practice with Su Li, aided by a Love Potion.

Her soft body and aloof character indeed gave a man unparalleled self-confidence and a sense of conquest.

However, as she was always unambitious and unseeking, Su Li was genuinely eager to fulfill any of her wishes. He slid his hand under her magic robe from the split at the hem, caressing her smooth skin, and asked, "Is there anything you want to say to me? I’ll satisfy whatever you need."

Ingrid then extended her arms, encircling Su Li’s neck, indulging Su Li’s ’An Lushan’s Claw’ as it restlessly roamed over her body. Tiptoeing, she gave a gentle kiss on Su Li’s lips and said, "Then I wish for you to find another female courtier."

Huh?

This truly surprised Su Li a bit.

When he said he would fulfill all of Ingrid’s demands, he hadn’t expected anything like this; no romantic drama like Ingrid saying she wanted to leave.

Leaving was impossible. Although this witch had an aloof character, initially perhaps because of certain incompatible notions, she might have disappeared into the morning mist one foggy morning.

But that was the initial phase.

Now, due to the Love Potion, she was deeply in love with Su Li, how could she suddenly want to leave?

It wasn’t just Aeliria who found savor in such things; women, in some respects, valued intimate relations far more than men.

After all, the sources of pleasure for a man go far beyond emotion and women: imperial pursuits, expanding influence, the clash of armies, being the foremost on the battlefield—any of these could be immensely gratifying.

Just like Su Li, despite having the Lying Flat System, his life was far from being just about women; he couldn’t help but want to cultivate lands, review the troops, and lead them into battle.

So Su Li rested his chin on Ingrid’s slender shoulder, inhaling her hair’s fresh scent like that of white tea blossoms, asking, "Why are you so generous? Suggesting I seek another female courtier?"

This is simply a woman’s virtue. Like in the East, once the wife reaches a certain age, she says to her husband: Husband, we are not young anymore; you should take a younger one, or else the neighbors might think I’m clueless.

Typically, the man would be engrossed in his book, not lifting his head, saying: Can’t you see I’m busy all the time? Where’s the time to think about such things?

The wife would then say: Should I help find one? You just nod if you fancy her, and I’ll handle the rest, okay?

The man still wouldn’t lift his head, saying: You handle it, then...

Su Li hadn’t expected that such an admirable traditional virtue, though not preserved in the East, emerged in Ingrid instead?

Of course, Ingrid wasn’t so generous as to willingly share her lover with another woman.

And as for those Eastern traditional virtues, they had nothing to do with her, it was just with great helplessness she said, "Now, almost all my time is spent accompanying you in knight training, but... I’m a witch. This not only hinders my solitary cultivation but also results in a huge loss for our territory. Over half a month ago, I obtained the Mythical-Level material, Threads of Destiny, but until now, I haven’t crafted a single talisman."

Hearing Ingrid say this, Su Li’s lips slightly curled upwards, revealing a hint of a smile.

Ingrid indeed had a point; Su Li’s knight training frequency was high, leaving Ingrid, with her frail figure, lying lazily in bed in a mindless void after accompanying him.

As a Forest Witch, Ingrid’s favored pastimes boiled down to two: meditative solitude or intimate entwining with Su Li.
