We enjoyed a very large feast with the whole team, and we also invited the rest of the hard worker members of my "Sect" into it because why not.

And by hard worker I mean it. Everyone had not been slacking off at all, every single person has been helping in some regard. They all had gone into the lower rank dungeons daily to bring food for everyone's gluttonous stomachs, while also bringing Rank 1 Mana Cores, items, and so on in the process. Another group goes hunting outside sometimes too.

And then, those willing to do it, have been enclosed inside the underground alchemy laboratories for several hours, usually almost 14 hours a day helping my small clones there to craft Cultivation Potions and other types of potions, such as Stat Enhancement potions to enhance a certain stat momentarily, which also require special cautious, and the materials of hunted monsters to make. These are more complex, however.

There's also the big cooking team, led by Benladann's mother whenever she's not hunting with her husband, her cooking is quite godly, I have to admit it, but nothing can beat the cooking of my beloved Benladann, of course. So if her mother's cooking is godly, Benladann's cooking is super godly, transcendental!

…Maybe I am exaggerating, but I can feel the love she pours into it, so it always tastes better than anything. After all, eating the food your wife cooks for you so lovingly always warms your heart.

A-Anyways, I guess I ended going elsewhere with the whole thing. Because everyone helps in maintaining the sect, there's not much to say other than being thankful for their cooperation. I am glad they are not lazy or something, and that they actually care about contributing, this is very important.

Although I am strong, it doesn't mean I can make food come out of thin air (no, I am not going to give my dragon meat to anyone), nor money out of thin air, nor items out of thin air, so all of this requires a collective effort, even more, if our group grows bigger and wider.

Oh right, even the younglings are helping out, the kids from Benladann's village had grown stronger too, and are nearing Rank 2. Quite amazing. Some of them are getting more proficient at fighting so they go hunting, and others are getting better at using their unique elements in other ways such as cooking or alchemy. There are some even practicing blacksmithing.

I want to use their more unique elements in some kind of way, but as of now it hasn't been easy to find ways to let them use Runes, they have less Mana than me and cannot properly build one through brute force as I do. They need to cultivate more, I guess. Sharing my mana so they can create runes is taxing to their minds. But we'll get to it one day.

I want to make Life and Earth Runes around the crops we got outside so they grow bigger and faster, the project has been rather stagnant, unless we pour some magical stuff, the plants won't grow as intended in such high altitudes, we subsist mostly of meat with the rest being bought down there.

But things such as grains, vegetables, fruits, and the like cannot be produced properly to sustain the population. Of course, we are still expanding the whole castle and getting it bigger, the plan is to expand more areas where we can plant stuff.

We are all mostly inclined to eat meat anyway, the only ones that get a bit annoyed and require their dose of veggies are the beast-kin and elves, but those usually buy it for themselves with the money they earn in the dungeon, I always give them a part for their efforts.

Anyways, that was mostly the "recap" everything is moving forward, and I just drank my tenth bottle of ale, I think I should stop now.

Benladann, however, was different than me and she didn't have immunity to toxins, she was drinking with me to "keep up" so she ended drinking more than she usually does.

"Fufu… Is it my idea or you got more handsome~?" she coquettishly said, as she began to touch my chest with her finger teasingly. She had a flushed face with quite the fuzzy look in her beautiful eyes… Did drinking made her even sexier or is that my idea?! She even licked her lips mischievously…

"It must be your idea… But is it my idea or you got sexier?" I asked with a smile.

"Ohhh~? Really?" she asked cutely, as she neared her face towards me and gave me a kiss… it tasted like liquor. Well, mine should also taste like that anyways.

However, we were still with people here, so I calmed her down a bit.

"Come on, let's wait for it to end- Ah…!"

She suddenly moved her mischievous hands down the table and grabbed my humble dragon, which was only recently waking up.

She was being unfair there. You can't just do that to a man!

"I want it… Now~" she said, her warm breath close to my face.

Can a man resist such a woman in heat like this? I certainly can't.

We decided to leave the feast as we told them that we were going to sleep earlier. Of course, that was an ugly lie, and they know it.

Benladann held my hand tightly and led me to her room where the action began quickly. She was acting very dominant (as always), and she ended giving me a lot of pleasure with her mouth down there before we started our mating press sessions in bed for the rest of the night. The liquor certainly didn't make me drunk, but it really heated my body, so I was just as intense and passionate as her. I ended pounding her so hard she screamed my name loudly…

At some point, we passed out after god knows how many times, I came inside of her.

I remember wondering if my days would always end with sex after our first time with Benladann, and it seems to be the case…

I am not unhappy about it.
