131 Even I Couldn’t Last That Long

Since the Rayden Household was sincerely apologizing to him, he decided to forget what had happened before. However, he still planned to venture into the business world so the clothing shop must be continued. Now that his parents were in Lion City, he had to make sure that they would live a comfortable life and for that to happen, he would need to have more money!

Aethelwolf went to his room and inspected the cauldron given to him. It was a Unique-Rated item that couldn’t even be found in the market. After all, there is only one Level 4 Blacksmith in the Leone Empire, the current family head of the Maynard Household, Count Lucas Maynard! He is already very old and he rarely accepts commissions and he wouldn’t accept anything lower than a Unique-Rated item. The value of his crafts was enormous and only the top nobles could afford them.

Aethelwolf saw small words written on the surface of the cauldron.

Moonlight Frost Cauldron.

“Moonlight Frost Cauldron. That’s indeed a fitting name for this thing.” He muttered with a smile.

With the issue about the Rayden Household resolved, he has lesser things to worry about at this moment.

He then summoned Rendell.

“Bring Janrose here.”

Rendell nodded his head and he immediately went to the young lady’s room. He already knew that this young miss was the student of Aethelwolf so he was extra respectful to her. “Miss Janrose, Sir Aethelwolf has summoned you to his room.”

.....

“Alright.” Janrose followed Rendell to Aethelwolf’s room.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Sir Aethelwolf, I’ve brought the young miss.” Rendell said after knocking on the door.

“Let her come inside.” Aethelwolf’s voice echoed inside the room.

When Janrose entered the room, she caught sight of the icy blue cauldron lying inside the room. She was fascinated by its intricate design and when she touched its surface, she felt a cold sensation prickling her fingertips. “Beautiful.” She muttered while admiring its craftsmanship. She could tell that it was an item beyond the Refined-Rate.

“How are you?” A gentle voice sounded behind her and she saw her teacher holding a teapot and a small cup.

“Sir Aethelwolf! I feel great! Oh, by the way, is this a Unique-Rated cauldron?” She asked while pointing at the Moonlight Frost Cauldron.

Aethelwolf nodded his head and replied. “That’s right. Jericho gave it to me earlier. Not bad, right?” He chuckled.

Hearing that, Janrose’s mouth twitched. Her teacher actually received a valuable artifact as a reconciliation gift. The Rayden Household must be fearful of her teacher’s revenge so they gave him their most valuable treasure. “Why did you call me here at this hour? Last time, my mother misunderstood the situation when she saw us going out of your office covered in sweat. She even gave me a hard look when Rendell came to our room. You must properly explain things to her.” She pouted.

Aethelwolf was speechless when he heard her words. “Eh? That happened?” He then nodded his head with a wry smile. “Alright. I’ll tell Janeth not to worry.”

Janrose was still pouting so he used the technique he learned when dealing with Samira. “Come on. Trust me.” He said while gently massaging her shoulders.

Janrose felt her legs turn into jelly the moment Aethelwolf massaged her shoulders. It was very soothing and relaxing that she has the urge to let out a moan, but she knew that Rendell was outside the room so she hurriedly covered her mouth with both her hands. ‘So good~’ She thought as she closed her eyes, letting her teacher do as he pleased.

Aethelwolf grinned when he saw the sudden change in her expression. No one has been able to escape the charm of his massage technique.

His hands started roaming on her back, gently kneading her skin with his fingertips.

“Mnnn~” Janrose’s body jolted and a light sound leaked out from the gaps in her hands. It sounded like a suppressed moan since she was covering her mouth. Her eyes widened and just as she was about to glare at her teacher, she felt a wave of pleasure on her back that made her shiver from head to foot.

Rendell who was outside the room almost jumped out in surprise when he heard the soft moaning sound inside the room. He hurriedly covered his ears with world essence to prevent himself from hearing something that he shouldn’t hear. He also eyed the hallway more attentively to prevent others from knowing what was happening inside the room. ‘I didn’t know that they are actually in that kind of relationship...’ He thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Aethelwolf had already pulled back his hands. He chuckled at the blushing Janrose and took out a bunch of herbal ingredients. “Alright. Stop thinking about other things. I will teach you how to make an herbal liquid. I also have some capsules for you to use.” Since Level 1 Alchemists couldn’t create pills yet, they use capsules when making their pills. It is an empty capsule made from a specific herb. It was commonly used by Level 1 Alchemists when they are making pills.

Aethelwolf explained how the medicinal liquid is made and he let Janrose do it on her own.

She needed to learn how to do this since it was one of the tests of the Alchemy Tower. She wouldn’t be able to get her license if she couldn’t even make her own medicinal liquid.

He spent the entire night teaching Janrose how to make a medicinal liquid and how to put it inside a capsule.

It was only until midnight that their training session was finally over.

Janrose went out of Aethelwolf’s room with a sore back and she could even hear her bones cracking. “That felt good.” She muttered as she closed the door. She didn’t even notice Rendell who was looking at her with a face full of sweat.

When she was gone in the hallway, Rendell heaved a sigh of relief. “Man, how many hours was that? Even I couldn’t last that long...” He muttered while shaking his head.
