Ten minutes later, Afra's face was flushed, and she turned to the side to tidy her clothes.
Meanwhile, Dick lay on the bed, sleeping with even breaths, occasionally muttering in his sleep, seemingly still wanting more.
“Hmph, like a baby who hasn't eaten for three days…”
During the recent treatment, Dick was anything but polite. Even without his five senses, he could still navigate accurately, not needing Afra to cooperate at all.
Since it was the first time, Afra was unsure of the specific treatment efficiency, so she let Dick have his way throughout…
“It seems the effect is quite good. The symptoms caused by White Snow Wolf Poison have completely disappeared!”
Afra gently sat beside Dick and carefully helped him examine his body.
Pale pink magic mist permeated the surroundings. This was Afra's special magic color, and under the dim candlelight, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat ambiguous.
At this moment, Dick was observing the origin of his heart internally. His originally light blue magic now had threads of pink and white.
Undoubtedly, the plan was successful. Dick's guess was indeed correct; Afra had never treated anyone before.
For someone of her esteemed status, who had been well-provided for since childhood, this top-tier physique appearing on Afra was, in fact, a waste.
After all, almost no one was qualified to receive Afra's treatment, and no one could force her. It could only be done through coaxing and deception!
Speaking of which, the plan's smooth execution was definitely inseparable from the charm boost brought by the Mysterious Blessing.
Dick could clearly feel that his ability to strategize had been greatly enhanced, although… it was already very strong to begin with.
This also filled Dick with confidence in completing the “Snow Queen with a poker face” World Task.
Vivian was an extreme non-marrier. It was indeed difficult to make her believe in love and acknowledge its beauty.
Although for Dick, this was not impossible to achieve, what he wanted was speed and efficiency!
If Vivian were an experienced player who disliked love because she had seen through the ways of the world, that would be somewhat tricky.
Fortunately, this socially awkward Snow Maiden had never been in love. She had only become this way because her parents committed suicide together.
And that made things much easier. The most efficient method was clearly to conquer Vivian.
Only by truly tasting love can one know its deliciousness. A bystander's perspective is ultimately narrow.
With the blessing of the Mysterious Blessing, Dick believed that the “Snow Queen with a poker face” would become the simplest World Task.
One week!
Dick planned to spend at most one week conquering Vivian, winning over this Snow Maiden with a poker face, and completing the World Task.
…
After pretending to sleep for a few more minutes, Dick slowly woke up.
Looking at Afra's still rosy face by the bed, Dick suddenly sat up, repeatedly examining his body, feigning shock.
“What happened? I… I'm not dead?”
To avoid various troubles later, Dick acted as if he had lost his memory.
The goal of the “take a sip” plan was just to take a sip. Dick didn't want to bear any responsibility for it. Of course, everything depended on Afra's reaction.
Due to their short time together, Dick didn't know Afra very well and couldn't accurately predict her “aftermath” reaction.
“You, you were lucky. I used the Didalian Family's secret healing technique and barely saved your life.”
Afra chose to conceal it. Dick's amnesia was the best step down, after all, “breast therapy” was ultimately too awkward.
Dick reacted quickly, immediately stood up and bowed, loudly praising the power of the Didalian Family, cooperating with Afra's lie.
I have to say, this physique is simply too fragrant, fragrant in every sense of the word.
The magic potion it produces is even comparable to Purple Longevity Divine Liquid. It's not only delicious but also highly efficient in healing.
What's more, Afra herself is a high-level Healer. If she could be kept by his side, a sip when injured could restore him to full health instantly.
Although Dick really wanted to bring Afra under his command, it wasn't very likely at this stage, as the status gap between them was simply too vast.
Given Afra's status level, let alone an Earl of the Aimiya Empire, even an emperor who unified the entire Northern region would be somewhat unworthy of her.
Dick knew that Afra was a high and mighty heiress of a financial group, while he, at best, was just a street hood.
The extremely urgent breast therapy was one thing, but if he wanted to go further, based on Dick's extensive experience, it was absolutely impossible!
And while aggressively taking sips, Dick had also probed many times, but Afra was always on strict guard. Everything below the waist was completely off-limits.
Dick knew the principle of “going with the flow,” but unfortunately, Afra didn't give him any opportunity, so he naturally couldn't force it.
“Dick, I remembered I have some matters in the Central Region, so I… I will be leaving tomorrow morning.”
Hearing this, Dick was a little surprised and couldn't help but say, “So soon?”
This was clearly a last-minute decision on her part, as Afra had originally planned to wait for Dick to finish his business before heading to the Central Region together.
Afra didn't explain specifically, but instead looked away with flickering eyes.
Silence lasted for several minutes. Dick kept thinking about the reason for Afra's early departure in his mind, but he couldn't come to a definite conclusion.
Was it because she was too shy, so she left early to escape?
Or was it because she felt depressed and wanted to leave this sad place in the Northern region?
Or was it because she felt annoyed and didn't want to stay any longer…
The last possibility was unlikely. At least, Dick didn't see any displeasure on Afra's pretty face.
Just as Dick was analyzing in secret, Afra spoke, breaking the silence.
“The Didalian Family has always welcomed talented people. When you go to the Central Region later, you can come find me with Leon.”
Afra looked up at Dick and said seriously, “If you can gain my mother's approval and the support of the Didalian Family, you can establish yourself in the Central Region, and even…”
Speaking of this, Afra hesitated, bit her lip, and didn't continue.
Dick thought for a moment and immediately understood the words Afra had not spoken.
And even what?
Of course, it was even becoming a live-in son-in-law of the Didalian Family and marrying her!
This had always been a tradition of the Didalian Family. For top talents, they would not hesitate to win them over by offering themselves.
After all, Flower Elves' appearance is universally recognized as top-tier worldwide. Both males and females are exquisite beauties.
Afra's meaning was simple: she hoped Dick could be proactive and ambitious, become a top talent, and finally marry her legitimately…
Afra traveled all over the continent not only to scout for talent for the Didalian Family but also to scout for her future husband.
And now, Dick had become one of the candidates, at least in Afra's heart.
