The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 1116: Seraphina’s Generosity

"Sir Vaan!"

Upon exiting the tent and spotting Vaan’s figure some distance away, Seraphina’s eyes lit up with joy. At the same time, a layer of respect and admiration hid beneath them.

Although she was in a deep state of enlightenment during her breakthrough, the external situation did not escape her perception. In fact, it was difficult not to notice, given her proximity.

Even with a layer of protection to prevent external disturbance, Vaan’s voice was like the very essence of the Water Law, bypassing all defenses and instilling it in her mind, aiding her in achieving greater enlightenment.

Surprisingly, despite her practice of the Heaven-rank version, the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex], Vaan’s unique insights of the [Divine Oceanheart Art] were still beneficial to her. It improved her own understanding of the [Eternal Oceanheart Codex].

As such, with all these additional benefits layered on top of her moment of enlightenment, it was hard not to make significant progress and overcome her bottleneck.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, my Lady," Vaan nodded.

"All thanks to you, Sir," Seraphina smiled humbly before taking out her ID card, recalling, "Right, let me pay for the service first."

"Alright," Vaan calmly acknowledged, taking out his own ID card for Seraphina to swipe with hers.

<10,000,000 CP have been transferred under your name>

Vaan immediately raised an eyebrow upon discovering the staggering number of contribution points added to his ID card. At once, he glanced up at Seraphina with a questioning look.

"This isn’t the agreed amount for the service. You’ve overpaid, my Lady. I will transfer the excess CP back to you," Vaan stated, upholding his professional etiquette.

However, Seraphina withdrew her ID card before Vaan could swipe the transfer. Then, she shook her head and said, "No need, Sir Vaan. Consider the additional CP as my tip towards your good service."

"I believe it deserves this much compensation. If anything, your service is too cheap. Also, only this amount of CP can express my gratitude and goodwill. You have done me a great favor, Sir," Seraphina said sincerely.

Meanwhile, Vaan could only smile wryly with amusement upon hearing such words.

Seraphina was truly a wealthy Daughter of Heaven. Such extravagance and generosity would be hard for anyone else to replicate.

If he charged ten million CP per massage, no one in the Outer Palace would be able to afford it. Even if they could, they wouldn’t be willing to spend more when they could receive it for less.

Although Vaan insisted on returning the excess CP, Seraphina was adamant about taking back what she had already given. As such, Vaan could only accept it with some reluctance.

Even though the ten million CP was important to him, it was not like he lacked the means to earn it with his own capability. Earning ten million CP wasn’t difficult for him. He was also waiting for news from the Hall of Merit.

’Is this my sugar mommy money?’ Vaan thought amusingly.

With over ten million CP under his name, there was no longer a need for him to continue the operation of Heavenly Massage for much longer. Ten million CP gave him the capacity to do many things. ɌÂＮȰ𝐛ƐⱾ

That said, he should minimize everyone’s disappointment.

"Everyone, I have an announcement to make—The Heavenly Massage will only operate for another fifteen days, so there’s no need to keep queueing," Vaan calmly stated.

Fifteen days were enough time to service another hundred-odd clients, going by the three hours max per client.

Vaan also estimated this was enough to upgrade the remaining top ten mana cultivation techniques and raise his nameless mana cultivation technique to the heaven rank.

As for his personal mana cultivation level, it was important but not a priority.

After all, recklessly raising his mana cultivation level with an inferior method was not as good as steadily improving with a superior method. That said, he didn’t intend to suppress his cultivation progress either.

Whatever he would gain from the next hundred-odd disciples was what he would accept.

However, considering the next hundred-odd disciples in the queue were mostly Divine Warriors, Vaan didn’t have high hopes of gaining much.

Just as everyone was disappointed and devastated by Vaan’s announcement, he added, "After Heavenly Massage’s service ceases fifteen days later, I will hold a couple more lectures as compensation for everyone’s time."

The crowd was momentarily quiet before erupting into loud cheers.

"Lord Vaan is the best!"

"God bless Lord Vaan!"

...

While Vaan went back into the tent to prepare for the next client, Seraphina strolled around the marketplace with a good mood. She had no specific purpose in mind and simply observed the local specialties with curiosity.

"Will you not return to the Core Palace to stabilize your cultivation, Lady Seraphina?" One of the six Divine Emperor Protectors inquired.

Seraphina shook her head, replying, "Didn’t Sir Vaan mention he would conduct a couple more lectures after ending his service fifteen days later? I intend to stay and listen. I’m curious what other surprises he’ll show us."

Although the Divine Emperor Protector wanted to say that Seraphina could just come back later and didn’t have to stay for the full fifteen days, he ultimately kept his silence, knowing he wouldn’t be able to change her mind.

The Young Lady had already decided firmly.

Nevertheless, Seraphina quickly grew bored with the marketplace after an hour of looking around. As such, she returned to the main square to search for a spot that was both good for meditation and listening.

However, she quickly discovered that the place was even more crowded than before. Streams of disciples continued to pour into Mermaid’s Grotto upon hearing about Vaan’s lectures scheduled for fifteen days later.

If they arrived too late, they would not be able to secure a good spot to listen to the lecture, which would be truly regrettable.

After all, listening online was never as good as listening in person.

The environment would be vastly different.

"...Can I help you with something, Lady Empress?" a Divine Lord asked apprehensively after noticing a mighty Divine Empress standing behind him, brows furrowed while staring at him—or rather, his seat.

"You... are you willing to part with this spot for 100,000 CP?" Seraphina asked carefully, thinking the other party might be unwilling.

After all, it was the prime spot.

However, Seraphina, being young and somewhat naive, underestimated the influence of her wealth, power, and status.

When the Divine Lord heard her question, his eyes bulged wide open in shock briefly before he scurried to his feet and cleaned up the spot. Then, he clasped his hands, adopting a humble attitude.

"If Lady Empress desires to buy this seat for 100,000 CP, this Humble One will surely not dare to refuse," the Divine Lord smiled humbly.

What a joke!

Even for a Divine Lord, 100,000 CP was not a small amount! Even if Seraphina wanted it for free, he would still give it to her! He didn’t dare to offend the Divine Empress, let alone the six Divine Emperors behind her!

Of course, if everything could be peacefully settled with money, it was for the best!

The Divine Lord was overjoyed once he confirmed that the 100,000 CP had been transferred under his name. Now, he just needed to find another spot and offer less, and he would still profit.

What a bargain!
