Can't I develop my own character?

All that admiration was just being deceived by appearance. She admitted that 'Lin Qi' was indeed charming, but that was a rose with thorns... no, a poisonous rose.

Hainuo really wanted to persuade Ryan, saying, "A guy like you can find any girl."

Apart from anything else, although Maganna is a little short, she is very good in other aspects.

If she compared them horizontally, she felt that Ryan's charm as a man was much greater than Lin Qi's charm as a woman. She swore that it was not the power of desire that affected her, it was true. Looking at Ryan, she felt a natural attraction and wanted to get close to Ryan.

Under the influence of desire, if Hainuo had not maintained the demeanor of an elegant woman and the dignity of a college president, she would not have been able to resist showing her goodwill to Ryan.

What a good boy... Hainuo's mind wandered, and a wonderful scene emerged in his mind.

After just a few seconds, Hainuo was startled and quickly brushed away these messy thoughts... No, the influence of desire is getting stronger and stronger, he has to get the Pot of Greed back quickly.

"I'm sorry, Ryan. I really shouldn't have said that about Lin Qi... Now let's put aside these prejudices and focus on our transaction." Hai Nuo was a little impatient. "Where's the relic?"

"Yeah, it's on me."

"That..."

"I might need to use it to deal with pagan forces soon, so I called you here to tell you that I'm keeping it for the time being."

ー澪?樲⒉８３○⒐仈

"???"

Hai Nuo was stunned for a moment, then his expression became strange: "Sir Ryan, you won't go back on your word and violate the contract, right?"

"Of course not, but there's no date specified in the contract, right? Does Ms. Hainuo think I'm someone who doesn't keep my word?"

"Of course I trust your character. If there is an emergency, there is nothing I can do..."

Hainuo instinctively felt that she should quickly ask Ryan to get the Pot of Greed back, but she also felt that it was not a good idea to force Ryan. Maybe this was just an excuse to get the Pot of Greed from Lin Qi... Let's forget it for now, Ryan will definitely return it to her anyway.

Even Heino herself didn't realize that her attitude towards Ryan was changing invisibly under the influence of the power of the contract. She couldn't be hostile, cause any form of harm, or have negative emotions... All kinds of constraints, when translated into the adult world, would allow even a complete novice to collect all the CGs smoothly!

If the content of the contract is completed, then the binding force will naturally no longer exist, so Ryan has no intention of giving the Pot of Greed to Heino. After all, if Heino gets the Pot of Greed, he will choose to keep his distance from him at the first time.

This was also what Hainuo had thought before. She was of course aware of the effect of the contract, but between the unknown danger and Ryan's character, she chose the latter.

There is no way. If I don't choose, I will be controlled by the devil "Lin Qi" for the rest of my life. Hainuo doesn't want to experience the dark moments again. As for Ryan... doesn't he just want me to help Maganna?

Because Hainuo instinctively didn't think about what Ryan would do to her, so the subconscious cognition plus the effect of the contract content, if there was a favorability display now, it would be found that Hainuo's favorability was slowly increasing.

"Ms. Heino, you are such a beautiful, kind, and considerate girl." Ryan said seriously, "Please rest assured, after I resolve the matter with the Eye of Dawn and Dusk and the Blood Archbishop, I will definitely return the relic to you!"

"Eye of Dawn and Dusk? I heard from Casradi that they seem to be very active."

As a member of the High Lords, Casradi was naturally aware of this aspect.

"Yes, according to my investigation, this group of pagans is colluding with the Blood Archbishop to plot a massive conspiracy. I'm not sure yet how big the impact will be, but it's definitely enough to subvert the Empire's rule."

"Oh?" Hai Nuo was surprised. "Have you already found out what they want to do?"

"I have a rough guess, so I need to be fully prepared."

"Why don't you go and discuss it with Queen Venetian? If it's her, she'll definitely be happy with it, right?"

Ryan chuckled. "Ms. Hainuo, you should know my position. To the Empress, I am still the Grand Duke's man. She will never trust me. So, I will convey this matter to the Empress. As for what she decides to do, it's up to her. And I, too, cannot trust her. Do you understand? I follow the Grand Duke. Since I've chosen him, I won't betray him."

"However, when it comes to matters concerning the safety of the empire, I don't mind helping the Empress if it benefits the empire, just like this time against the Kingdom of Lot and Wildea. Everyone in the empire says that I, Ryan, am a treacherous and evil person who will cause chaos in the empire, but they are wrong. They misjudged me yesterday, they misjudged me today, and they may be wrong again tomorrow, but I am still myself."

Hainuo was stunned.

"Earl Ryan, you are the greatest imperial minister I have ever met."

"Great? Ms. Heino, you misjudged me." Ryan said with a smile, "I'm just an ordinary person who knows what to do and when to do it."

"If everyone could be as 'ordinary' as you, then Augustus would have been unmatched long ago." Hainuo suddenly smiled with relief. "Now I understand why Casradi doesn't hate you at all. It's because you truly did what you were supposed to do. That kid still keeps asking when he'll be free to have afternoon tea with you."

"Your Highness." Ryan nodded slightly. "As long as she is willing, of course I have no problem."

"How about tomorrow afternoon?" Hai Nuo said immediately, then realized he was a little impatient, so he coughed lightly and said, "It might get very busy later. I have some questions about the construction of the magician tower. You can talk to Casla Dido... Well, she really wants to see you."

There is a kind of person who makes you feel comfortable chatting with him. Hainuo has to admit this, but it always feels weird if she asks for it. It would be much smoother if she uses the name of Casradi.

"Maybe I can also help in dealing with the paganism," Heino added.

"Is it really possible?"

"Of course, that's part of our deal, isn't it?" Heino smiled. "But don't forget, I'm also a member of the Janus Gate. If paganism is rampant, I have an obligation to stop it."

Ah, your smile, how young and girly are you, Dean?

Ryan felt like he seemed to have discovered another strategy to conquer the dean. It wasn't just the right way, nor was it using the Pot of Greed to force a backdoor. Now this seemed pretty good too?

After all, he is a seventh-level extraordinary person. If possible, Ryan really intends to "get along well" with him, and he can use the content of the contract to do so. Although the forced melon can quench thirst, it is not sweet, and not everyone is as easy to control as Elvian.

"Thank you, Ms. Heino."

"You're welcome... Oh." Hai Nuo suddenly remembered, "Um... If possible, can you give me the relic temporarily? I need it now."

"Now?"

"Yeah, sorry I don't know how to explain this but I really need it right now."

Oh, I see.

Looking at Hainuo's blushing and embarrassed face, Ryan knew what she was going to do.

"I've already temporarily refined it, is that okay?"

"No problem, just turn it on and cooperate with me."

The relic needs to be refined and adapted, but Hainuo does not need to take the Pot of Greed for herself. She simply wants to seal the emotion of desire.

She was already familiar with this kind of thing. As long as Ryan cooperated properly, theoretically there would be no accidents.

"it is good."

Ryan took out the Pot of Greed.

Heino put her hand on it, and soon a milky white light burst out between her palm and the pot. In this light, Ryan felt the power of desire.

"Ryan, turn it on." Heino urged.

Emotion collection is an ability of the Pot of Greed. It collects emotions and then uses the pot to strengthen them to achieve ten times or even a hundred times the effect. It absorbs and releases them in a simple and crude way.

And now all Ryan has to do is absorb it.

He input his magic power into it, activated the effect of the Pot of Greed, and then saw that the emotions released by Hainuo were sucked in.

A hint of joy appeared in Hainuo's eyes.

As long as her emotions can be released, it doesn't matter if Ryan doesn't return the Pot of Greed to her in a short period of time. As long as it's not in the hands of the devil 'Lin Qi'... huh?

Hainuo saw that on the Pot of Greed, the two kinds of magic were intertwining and blending into each other.

One was hers, and the other was from Ryan.

Then Ryan's power began to flow in the opposite direction of her magic, like a tadpole swimming upstream, and finally drilled into her body.

Hainuo suddenly felt his body tremble.

Then, under the influence of Ryan's magic, the emotions in his body began to flow into the Pot of Greed.

This was a normal process, as the emotions drawn from the Pot of Greed were originally forcibly obtained from others. Hai Nuo had always used it on herself before, so she didn't feel anything. But now... for some reason, she had an illusion that her desire hadn't diminished at all???

Hainuo could feel Ryan's magic power flowing through her body, just like a long snake. Every time it reached a place, the feeling of the magic power colliding and rubbing against her body made her a little unbearable.

This is a different kind of pleasure!

"Ryan...well, it seems a little strange." Heino said while biting his lip.

"Ah? Really?" Ryan was confused. He didn't do anything. He just activated the absorption effect of the Pot of Greed.

"Stop, stop, let's stop here..."

"it is good."

Ryan stopped his magic.

When the effect of the Greedy Pot wore off, Hai Nuo's body swayed and she almost fell down. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead unconsciously, and she was panting. The sweat slid down her collarbone and flowed between her legs. The sweat left shallow marks on her fair skin. As her body temperature rose, the body odor aroused became more and more obvious. It was the unique fragrance of a beautiful girl.

A question mark appeared above Ryan's head.

Moon Goddess, he really didn't do anything tricky.

No, Dean Hainuo, did you do this on purpose or was it an accident?

"Huh!" Hai Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. It took him a while to come back to his senses, and confusion flashed in his eyes: "How could this happen?"

She felt that the emotions in her body were disappearing, but it was not lust that was disappearing, but other emotions, such as anger, laziness, etc. Only lust did not disappear, not only that, it increased.

Until now, Hainuo could still feel Ryan's power flowing freely in her body. The "savagery" that erupted from within actually made her a little addicted!

Is it because the Pot of Greed belongs to Ryan?

Hainuo was not sure because he had never let others absorb his emotions, but...why was the only desire left?

She looked at Ryan with some doubt, but when she saw the confusion and innocence in the latter's eyes, her doubts were immediately dispelled.

How could Ryan do such a thing? It turned out to be because of the Pot of Greed... Damn God of Desire, He is teasing me!

Hainuo was a little angry, but that was directed at the God of Desire. Unfortunately, the gods were high above, and mortals had no room to resist their teasing.

"Forget it, I, I'll go back first."

Hai Nuo felt that if she continued to stay, she would slowly become strange. Just looking at Ryan made her feel "so fragrant." This shameful thought made the usually serious Hai Nuo feel ashamed. She had actually become the kind of despicable woman who had dirty thoughts?!

Damn God of Desire!

"Wouldn't you like to sit down for a while? Have a midnight snack or something."

"No, no thanks. See you tomorrow Ryan."

Hainuo hurriedly tidied up his appearance, then silently chanted a spell and turned into a holy light and fled out of the room.

Leaving now?

Ryan scratched his head. How should I put it? The plot development seemed a bit...quite strange but very smooth.

He glanced at the holy number 6 on the back of his hand. Could it be that this thing had done something secretly just now?

Who cares, damn god of desire.

...

When Casradi woke up in the morning, she found that Heino had decorated the yard with parasols, a table, and exquisite teapots and cups. They were not the ones provided to them in the castle, but Heino's own collection.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

Casradi asked doubtfully.

Hainuo left suddenly last night, and she didn't have time to ask what happened.

"Let's make some simple arrangements." Hai Nuo smiled. "How about it? I want to host a tea party for three here. What else do you need?"

“It’s already very good…”

Casladi tilted her head. She could see that Hainuo was in a good mood. It was strange. The teacher had been worried these past few days, so why did he suddenly become like this?

Never mind, it’s a good thing anyway.

"Teacher, if it's a tea party, I may not be able to make it in the morning. Ryan has returned to Barron, and I plan to visit him." Casradi said.

"No need to go." Hai Nuo chuckled, "He will come over this afternoon."

"Eh? Did he say that? When?"

"It was last night."

"last night?"

The expression on Casradi's face became strange. "Teacher, did you go to see Ryan last night?"

So late?

"Well, I went... to talk about some serious business." Hainuo felt guilty for no reason. She would not tell anyone what she did in the room after returning from Ryan. When she thought that she still regarded Ryan, who was so much younger than her, as an object of fantasy, Hainuo really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

With this kind of character, you are unworthy of being a teacher!

"Is that so? Let's talk about it this afternoon then."

Casladi smiled, but didn't doubt anything.

After all, what was there for her to doubt about the teacher and Ryan?

"Then I'll... go dress up a bit, it's okay anyway."
