Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 172: Starlight Pagoda

After meeting the architect, Ren took his women to romantic places in another city. At 03:00 pm, they returned home because he wanted to set up the Ethereal Essence Gathering Formation in his house.

Once the formation was complete, they began absorbing spiritual energy and mana into their bodies.

Scarlett and Lexie found the formation highly satisfying, as it granted them a far richer and more efficient absorption of mana and spiritual energy than beast cores.

Scarlett believed that once the pagoda was built, countless people would line up to use it because it was a good place to rapidly enhance their strength.

Maybe it would be the best place for cultivation in Luvrela region because it was built with the support of a Rank 7 formation.

"Huft..." Scarlett exhaled slowly before opening her eyes.

’They are still cultivating.’

She then lifted her head to look at the sky.

’The sun is about to set. It’s time to take a bath.’

With that idea in mind, she rose to her feet and headed to the bathroom.

Shortly after she entered the house, Ren opened his eyes.

’Hmm? Where is Scarlett?’

He skimmed the backyard, looking for her.

’Is she inside the house?’

He didn’t check the house; instead, he took a chocolate wafer roll from the table because he suspected she was taking a shower.

’This chocolate wafer roll is so delicious!’

As he was consuming the chocolate, Lexie opened her eyes.

"Where is sister Scarlett?" she asked when she didn’t see Scarlett in the backyard.

"I think she is in the house." He responded, "Maybe, she is taking a bath right now."

"I see." She responded.

"Lexie, come here," Ren said as he tapped his lap, gesturing for her to sit.

Unlike usual, she didn’t tease him immediately.

Instead, she obeyed him and sat on his lap, facing his left side.

"Why did you ask me to sit on your lap? Do you feel like something is missing if you don’t touch me? Or..." she stopped and paused for a second before she continued, "Do you want to eat me?"

The corner of his lips twitched upon hearing her teasing. "I only want to share this delicious chocolate roll with you."

She shifted her gaze from his handsome face to the chocolate roll in his right hand.

"If so, then feed me." The moment she finished speaking, she opened her small mouth, signaling him to feed her.

He didn’t take the new one and fed her his chocolate roll. "Here, try it."

*Crunch... Crunch...

The sound of her consuming a chocolate roll echoed in their ears.

"It’s tasty!" she said, "Feed me again."

"You are starting to act spoiled like Scarlett." Despite his words, a hint of happiness flickered in his eyes.

"Isn’t it normal for me to act spoiled with you? After all, you are my boyfriend." She said without a trace of shyness because it was only natural for a couple to pamper each other.

"You are right." He fed her again.

Of course, he consumed the chocolate as well.

Now, they casually shared each chocolate roll from the box.

"Feed me again." She opened her mouth again, asking him to feed her a chocolate like before.

At first, Ren intended to feed her right away, but a playful idea suddenly came to him, causing him to change his mind.

He then placed the edge of the chocolate roll between his lips and leaned in closer, intending to feed her mouth to mouth. "Here."

To his surprise, Lexie plucked the chocolate roll from his lips and instantly sealed his lips with a kiss.

’Hmm?’

Ren’s eyes widened in surprise, completely caught off guard by her sudden boldness.

’I didn’t expec-’

He was shocked again because she put her soft tongue into his mouth shortly after their lips met.

’What a pervert lady! But I like it!’

He welcomed the kiss and intertwined their tongues lewdly.

After they stopped the kiss, he immediately said, "I was surprised by your sudden kiss."

"Why are you surprised? Isn’t that what your want?" she knew his perverted idea as it was easy to guess it.

"Well, you are right, but it’s different from what I expected." He said they should consume the chocolate roll first before kissing passionately because that was the right step.

"If so, then I will do what you expect," she placed the edge of the chocolate roll between her lips and shifted her position, facing him. "Here, eat it."

The corner of his lips twitched in disbelief.

’It’s like our roles have been reversed.’

Did he reject the offer?

Of course not!

He was only startled, nothing more than that.

That was why he consumed the chocolate roll shortly after that because even though it didn’t go as he expected, it was still exactly what he wanted.

As Ren and Scarlett were having a deep kiss, Scarlett stepped into the backyard. The moment she saw what they were doing, her eyes gleamed, and she dashed toward them.

She also desired to have a passionate kiss with Ren, so she stood next to them in silence, watching them and waiting for her turn patiently.

When Ren and Lexie noticed her, they stopped the kiss and turned toward her.

"Is it my turn now?" Scarlett asked happily.

"Hehe." Lexie giggled softly when she saw her behavior.

Ren didn’t say anything and only twitched his lips.

Lexie slid from his lap and spoke, "Yes. It’s your turn now, sister Scarlett."

Scarlett wasted no time and sat on his lap, facing him. "Ren, let’s have a hot kiss now."

"Sure." He responded,

As Ren and Scarlett had a passionate kiss, Lexie headed to the bathroom.

’I will take a bath now.’

Her lips curled up into a tiny smile when she glanced at them.

’We are indeed perverted people.’

----

Time went by quickly and without realizing it, it had been three months since Ren had met an architect.

At this time, the city had been rebuilt, and the pagoda was fully constructed. Scarlett named it Starlight Pagoda and built it in the Wuzil Region.

She chose the Wuzil region because it housed the city guard headquarters, so any commotion in the pagoda could be dealt with swiftly and efficiently.

While Starlight Pagoda was already complete, construction on the Moon Organization’s headquarters was only sixty percent done.

They focused on building the pagoda before, so his base’s construction had been delayed.

"Now, all you need to do is inaugurate this pagoda and money will flow into your pockets every day." Ren spoke abruptly.

Ren, Lexie, and Scarlett were currently standing in front of the Starlight Pagoda.

The Nine-Layer Starlight Pagoda stood as a breathtaking marvel, towering high into the sky like a celestial staircase.

Each tier was adorned with curved, upturned eaves accentuated by golden filigree, giving the structure an air of grandeur and mystery.

Unlike ordinary buildings, its enclosed design concealed everything inside, allowing no glimpse of the interior from the outside, further enhancing its mystique.

Elegant prayer bells hung along the edges of each tier, their soft chimes carried by the wind, creating a peaceful and rhythmic melody.

The base of the pagoda was fortified with ornate carvings and spiritual inscriptions, signifying its importance as a cultivation sanctuary.

The Starlight Pagoda was more than just a symbol of power, but a beacon of growth and ambition, drawing awakeners from far and wide to harness the spiritual energy and mana concealed within its sacred walls.

"I will inaugurate this pagoda the day after tomorrow." She could not inaugurate the pagoda immediately because she had something very important to do tomorrow.

"I already can see money in this building." Lexie was a businesswoman, so she could tell the pagoda would become one of the biggest revenue generators for the city.

"Alright. Let’s go home now." He uttered.

Lexie and Scarlett nodded before finally walking by his side.

----

time went by quickly and without realizing it, it had been two days since the Starlight Pagoda had been built.

At this moment, Scarlett was standing on the platform and informing her people about the Starlight Pagoda.

Both awakeners and non-awakeners were thrilled by the good news.

The awakeners were delighted because they could grow stronger more easily and quickly without having to risk their lives fighting magical beasts.

As for the non-awakeners, they were happy because the Starlight Pagoda would bring more travelers to their city.

The more travelers come to their city, the higher their income.

This was the reason why all of them were thrilled because the Starlight Pagoda would bring many benefits to them.

"I will set different rates for locals and travelers," Scarlett said. "The locals will be charged much less than travelers, so I want you to keep this a secret."

"Don’t worry, city mistress. I won’t tell a single soul about this."

"That’s right. We will keep it a secret."

"I would not reveal it even if they beat me up."

"Same here. This secret stays with me."

Her people kept the rate difference a secret because they knew that the money would be returned to them in the form of better protection, improved infrastructure, and other benefits.

"Before I end my announcement, I want you all to thank Ren because he is the reason why I was able to create the Starlight Pagoda." although Ren had asked her to keep it secret, Scarlett chose to reveal it because she wanted her people to recognize and appreciate his great service.

"What?! Ren?"

"It’s his idea?! I thought it was city mistress’ idea."

"Haha. So, it was thanks to Ren, huh? No wonder...no wonder..."

"Thank you, Ren! Your idea will bring many benefits to us."

One by one, the citizens thanked him.
