Chapter 813: Reason vs Desire

"Do you not have any tact, Seventh Sister? I\'m still your elder sister. At least leave me some face," Fourth Dream implored before finding her gaze wandering back to Ninth Dream\'s shameful act.

"This... is the trick that helped you and Ninth Sister advance to the eighth stage of the Divine Dream Realm?" Fourth Dream shortly asked with a flushed face, adding, "What does... pruning the flower have to do with our cultivation?"

"Pruning the flower?" Seventh Dream paused for a moment before laughing, "True, we\'ve never learned about this before, so I wouldn\'t have known what to call it but this either."

"The humans call it, erm, fingering or masturbation," Seventh Dream stated with some embarrassment.

"So vulgar?" Fourth Dream gasped.

"Well, it isn\'t exactly a graceful act, Fourth Sister," Seventh Dream commented before saying, "However, the effects are undeniable. Just observe the changes for yourself, and you will understand."

"Observe the changes..." Fourth Dream muttered, forcing herself to calm down.

Unbelievable as it seemed, she had no choice but to trust Seventh Dream after noticing she wasn\'t joking about it.

Sure enough, when Fourth Dream observed Ninth Dream\'s flower-pruning act, she discovered her body absorbed the pure mana in her surroundings far faster than normal.

At the same time, she realized the mana density in the area was much higher than in other places. She also understood the high concentration of pure mana was formed by Sir Vaan and Lady Dahlia.

Ninth Dream\'s cultivation benefited from the lewd acts Sir Vaan performed with Lady Dahlia.

When Fourth Dream realized that, several other details she hadn\'t really paid attention to suddenly came to mind.

She was greatly astonished when she put the pieces together.

Whether it was Lady Eniwse, Lady Aeliana, or Lady Dahlia, anyone who had spent some time performing lascivious acts with Sir Vaan had their cultivation upgraded very quickly.

Even now, Fourth Dream could see that Sir Vaan and Lady Dahlia were attracting and absorbing pure mana at an incredible rate.

She had seen Lady Dahlia before and noticed her mana talent and affinity weren\'t great. In fact, they could be considered quite ordinary or even poor.

However, the mana talent and affinity she currently displayed as she performed shameful acts with Sir Vaan were clearly several levels higher than her original evaluation.

Unexpectedly, the union of man and woman could produce such incredible results.

\'I see... these... sensual acts can stimulate the body and awaken its hidden potential,\' Fourth Dream noted.

\'Ninth Dream is also stimulating her own body\'s hidden potential through her solo act... However, the result is also inferior to the duo act... Moreover, the biggest difference isn\'t the duo act itself but the skill involved...\'

\'Doesn\'t that mean cultivation would be most effective if I could get Sir Vaan\'s help?\' Suddenly, Fourth Dream froze.

Her face quickly flushed with a deeper crimson shade. She felt so ashamed and couldn\'t believe she could have such a thought.

She was neither in an intimate relationship with Sir Vaan nor had romantic feelings for him. Thus, to surrender her body\'s innocence to him in the name of cultivation was rather demeaning.

How could she have such little self-respect?

Although Fourth Dream tried to fight off the foul thoughts with her reason and principles, her curiosity constantly grew. The more she suppressed it, the stronger it bounced back.

No matter what she did, Fourth Dream couldn\'t stop herself from imagining the possible experience with Sir Vaan.

Given how satisfied his women all seemed, Fourth Dream found it impossible to remove the seed of curiosity once it sprouted within her.

\'I am a proud Dreamcatcher of the Dreamdust Territory. How can I be tempted by mortal desire?\'

\'This is no way for a lady to conduct herself; of that, I know. So, why do lewd thoughts cloud my mind and urge my body? Why am I compelled to engage in such indecency?\'

\'Is it for the cultivation benefits I seek or the possible pleasure derived from it? Either way, my sisters must find out if I were ever to do it...\'

\'No! I should be resisting thoughts of such indecent acts, not figuring out how to do them in secret from my sisters!\'

Fourth Dream constantly shifted her gaze between Ninth Dream and Vaan\'s locations as she waged an intense battle between reason and desire in her heart and mind. It was uncertain which side was winning, but her blood pressure constantly rose.

She didn\'t want to be left behind in cultivation, but at the same time, she also didn\'t want to be caught indulging in such indecent acts in front of her juniors.

Alas, the choice proved too difficult for her to make.

Fourth Dream eventually collapsed in dizziness from all the stress and heat built up in her seemingly delicate body.

"Ah, Fourth Sister! Not again!" Seventh Dream cried.

...

Meanwhile, inside the nearby rock chamber of lust, Dahlia earnestly shook her hips on top of Vaan\'s lap to calm his raging dragon, completely unaware of third-party observation.

If she had known about it, all her boldness would instantly disappear, and she would become as timid as a meek kitten.

Nevertheless, Dahlia was only concerned about making Vaan feel good at that moment. Everything seemed to be going well between them, but Vaan knew that was not true.

Despite Dahlia\'s effort to hide it, he could sense her unease and worries weighing under her eyes. Considering he was surrounded by women more impressive than her, it would be strange if she didn\'t have any.

After all, it was undeniable that her background was quite humble compared to most of his

women\'s.

Vaan softly sighed before grabbing hold of her hands.

"Dahlia, comparison is the most poisonous element of the human heart. It robs you of your peace and happiness by eating away at your heart and twisting your nature. So, why burden

yourself with such unhealthy thoughts? I don\'t want to lose the gentle Dahlia I know," Vaan

calmly said.

Dahlia\'s body immediately shivered as her eyes uncontrollably teared up.

"I... I can\'t help it."
