[Day 188]

It was already the next morning, it felt like yesterday was an incredibly long day. There was a lot of stuff we did around, so of course it was incredibly long, to say the least. However, that wasn't important right now as I was sleeping with my beautiful Benladann.

Even if we were sleeping in the guest rooms in the palace, we still had a good night cuddled together, her adorable face was all I needed right now…

Miranda had decided to sleep at the side in a separate bed, but it didn't mattered because we didn't do anything lewd last night, mostly because Benladann was too exhausted, and I was busy last night doing the whole graveyard plundering side quest…

Ah, talking about desecrating the dead, I had managed to steal the precious Mana Cores, but I didn't ate them yet, deciding to save them for later. There was a big pile of them, at least 15 Rank 4 Mana Cores of mostly Initial Stage though, although there were also two Rank 5 Mana Cores from the ancestor and her dragon…

Heheh, indeed! They were Rank 5, so their Mana Cores were naturally Rank 5 too.

What might this mean? This probably means that I could quite literally become Rank 5 if I devour them… This also makes me think that perhaps I should save some of the Rank 4 Mana Cores for Benladann and company, who are already Rank 4 or close to it, making cultivation potions for them… this is because they would be useless in front of two Rank 5 Mana Cores anyways, right? They wouldn't even amount to the power the Rank 5 Mana Cores could give to me.

Due to that, it's natural that they get what they hunted for, after all those snakes were all Rank 4, so we got a bunch of their Mana Cores too, but oh well, I will later decide how to distribute all of this. I guess I could save one of each "Type" of Mana Core so I can eat them for Skills and the like, but by just eating the two Rank 5 I would get all I need… Maybe I should give one to Benladann? Hmm… She has worked hard, so she certainly deserves it… But for now, what I want the most is… Cuddling with my adorable wife!

"Uwah, Benladann, when you sleep, you're so adorable!" I thought to myself, as I embraced her body and kissed her forehead. She was so cute and warm. I was craving for some fluffiness with her, battling yesterday really tired me out. I want a break for once.

"Huh? D-Dwake?"

Benladann slowly woken up, muttering my name cutely.

"Good morning." I said.

"Good morning…" she replied, as she tenderly kissed my lips and then rubbed her face over my chest.

"Uwah, let's sleep for a few more hours like this, okay?" she sighed, as she hugged me tightly with her strong arms. I felt completely trapped in her deadly and lovely embrace.

"Sure thing…" I sighed in relief, I caressed her silvery-white hair and kissed her forehead some more.

I noticed her horn had grown bigger than before. After evolving, Benladann got some blue-colored horns that the high ice giants often get. I don't know why they get horns to begin with, but it was said that Ymir had a crown made of his own horns around his head, so perhaps it comes down form that ancient titan who is the father of the ice giants.

I touched her horns a little bit. They were rather hard and shone brightly like metal. They were a good material for crafting- not like I would ever use them for that! It would be horrible to even think about taking them out. I am not that sort of monster.

Also I often use my own horns for that because I can regrow them.

"Drake…" she said.

"Huh?" I asked.

"You're touching my horns…" she said.

"A-Ah… Yeah, they're cute… Shouldn't I?" I asked.

"No… I-I guess its fine if its you." She said while blushing.

Uwah, I feel like we have bonded once more in this little time. I suppose touching the horns of an ice giant is a big thing. Not many would let each other horns be touched, I guess.

"Drake…" she said.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Where were you last night?" she asked while furrowing her eyebrows.

"Ah… I thought you were sleeping…" I said.

"Even if I was, I still realized you were gone… So where did you go? You didn't… go to Mikohime's room, right?" she asked, her eyes suddenly became strongly predatory.

"Benladann, do you have so little faith in me as your husband? I would never do such a thing!" I said.

"T-Then tell me where you were…" she said.

"Sigh…"

I opened my Inventory and dropped a large pile of Mana Cores in front of the bed.

"Uwah! W-What are these? Huh? Rank 4 Mana Cores…? Not only the snake ones but… W-What are these ones? So many different elements! Wait… t-those are rank 5?! And two?!" she asked.

"I went to plunder the graveyard last night and stole all the Mana Cores in the corpses… After that… erm, well, I plundered the inheritance of the ancestor of the sect, and found her ghost and that of her dragon, they were annoying, but I made a good pact with them… Now they became my ghosts." I said.

"Y-You did all of that last night?!" she asked agitatedly. She was really getting surprised.

"Calm down… And yeah, I planned to tell you anyways… Yukihime and Mikoto are here too, I mean, in my shadows… Come out." I said.

I quickly showed Benladann the powerful Ghost of the Ancestor of the Winter Lotus Sect and then her Lunar Dragon Ghost, Yukihime and Mikoto.

"W-Woah…" Benladann was left utterly shocked.

"Is this your wife? I can detect and immense quantity of dark power within her… Just by being close to her I feel like she's going to devour me…" said Yukihime, flying away fearfully.

"N-Nice to meet you…" said Mikoto.
