Ma Jun really hadn't planned to do anything to the two sisters.
All he wanted was to level up [Praise].
But who would've thought there'd be extra conditions attached?
Seeing the faintly expectant look in Daniela's eyes, and Casandra's shy, embarrassed expression, Ma Jun found himself in a bind.
Wasn't this basically being pushed onto the stage?
If it were anyone else, doing something to a young girl right in front of her own sisters would definitely be hard to swallow.
Fortunately—
This was Ma Jun.
Having accumulated an absurdly rich amount of "life experience" since childhood, he considered this a small scene.
"…Alright."
Ma Jun nodded, his voice softening noticeably.
"Relax a bit. Don't be so tense."
"…Okay."
Casandra clenched her teeth.
Beilei also turned her head away.
But just a moment later, curiosity got the better of her. She slowly turned back, peeking shyly.
"I'll just… take one look," she told herself.
But that one look—
Her gaze never managed to leave again.
What unfolded before her had an overwhelming impact on someone who, psychologically speaking, was still like a young girl.
After a long while, Casandra went limp, weak and drained.
Yet her mental state was strangely excellent.
She even looked a little excited.
"Sister… you didn't lie to me. It really feels very good."
"Of course!" Daniela said proudly, with a hint of smugness. "Master is the best."
"Hmph!"
Beilei's face flushed red, her expression full of stubborn pride.
"Bragging!"
"He may be impressive compared to humans, but compared to werewolves, he's still far behind!"
Werewolves didn't have much rationality anyway. When they fought, they didn't even wear clothes.
Beilei had seen it several times.
Ma Jun couldn't be bothered to respond.
He helped Casandra untie the ropes binding her. After what had just happened, Casandra's attitude toward Ma Jun had clearly changed.
Just like Daniela before her.
Casandra reached into her own body and carefully took out a lump of white Grace Spores.
"H-here… for you…"
The moment the spores saw Ma Jun, they began writhing wildly.
As if they wanted to pounce straight onto him.
Seeing this with her own eyes, both Beilei and Casandra wore complicated expressions.
So this was it…
The gap between people could really be this vast.
To them, Grace Spores were like a nightmare.
Yet now, they behaved like a pet.
Ma Jun took the Grace Spores, then took out [Praise] as well.
[Beep! Same-origin item detected. Absorbing now!]
The two quickly fused together.
[Praise] visibly grew slightly larger.
At the same time, the item description changed.
[Praise (Fine Grade)]: A growth-type item. Current progress: 1/2.
[Effect: Attached body part Physique +4. Size increases to 1.5×.]
Ma Jun's eyes lit up instantly.
Absorb two and it levels up?!
Then wouldn't that mean—
He shifted his gaze to Beilei.
As long as he absorbed her Grace Spores, the upgrade would be complete!
"Heh."
Ma Jun didn't choose to force the issue.
Instead, he opened his inventory, equipped [Praise], then took out a [Charcoal-Grilled Dragonfish], cutting one portion free.
The grilled fish taken from the inventory still looked exactly the same as when it had been stored.
Golden-brown in color, sprinkled with herbs.
Its aroma hit the nose immediately.
Extremely tempting.
"Wow… it smells so good!"
Casandra couldn't help exclaiming.
Her saliva began to flood uncontrollably, her pale-blue eyes locked tightly onto the fish in Ma Jun's hand.
Daniela gazed at Ma Jun with pure worship.
He could just conjure fish out of thin air—and keep them perfectly intact.
This was nothing short of divine.
Only a god could do something like this.
Her reverence and adoration for Ma Jun deepened even further.
"Th-this… can you let me try a bite?" Casandra asked, swallowing hard, her words slurring.
"Of course."
"This is the power I'm granting you."
Ma Jun passed the fish toward her.
Beilei, still half-skeptical, snorted.
"Who are you fooling?"
"It's just a grilled fish. Granting power? Stop lying."
"Sister, could it be that the 'power' he mentioned is—"
Before she could finish, Casandra had already snatched the fish.
Chomp—chomp—chomp.
In just a few bites, she swallowed the entire fish.
She was nearly two meters tall—one fish was nothing.
The moment the fish reached her stomach, she let out a satisfied, involuntary moan.
The sound was soft and winding, making Beilei's face flush red.
She couldn't bring herself to say another word.
Just now… Casandra had been making sounds like that the entire time.
It was embarrassing.
But what happened next left Beilei completely stunned.
"So hot!"
Casandra's face flushed crimson.
"My whole body feels so warm!"
Whoosh!
Her figure flickered.
In an instant, she dashed from the center of the room to the corner.
Her speed had increased dramatically!
Beilei knew her sister well. Seeing this change, the shock in her heart was indescribable.
"How can this be…?"
Her red lips parted as she muttered in disbelief.
"She only ate a grilled fish."
"So why did she suddenly become stronger?!"
"Why is this happening…?"
"…Could it be that he really has divine power?!"
