A Pervert's World
Chapter 350: Jenny's awakening ceremony

Itzel saw the boy hesitate. She observed the fruit he had retrieved for himself but was still holding onto it. Thanks to Jenny, she was aware of the wonderous quality of this specific fruit.

The most potent fruit she had ever heard of was called a Tura. But if her memory served her right, this is not how a Tura fruit was supposed to look like. 'Can it be a fruit even more potent than a Tura?' 

Considering how Jenny had described the instant effect the ingestion had caused her, there was a good chance this was an even rarer fruit. That will also explain Ryu's fluctuating expression.

This fruit must be important to him and that should be one of the reasons why he didn't readily hand it over to her daughter. "I urge you to help her out if you can, young master. If there is any way for me to pay for it, then please let me know."

Itzel dropped her head down. She had never begged anyone in her life. Her family had seen a lot of bad days, but she had never lowered herself to such an extent no matter what.

Yet, faced with a better prospect for her daughter's life, can she let her pride get in the way? Not at all. If she had to beg for it, she was willing to do that as well. 

Ryu can easily figure out the complications in her mind. "Huh.. you overestimate yourself, woman. What can you even offer in return hmph.." 

Itzel's face was blushing heavily because of the shame, but she knew Ryu's words were said in a humourous tone. That's the only reason she didn't raise her head still. 

The boy was not exactly wrong in his remarks. He had spent a lot of sweat cultivating these precious fruits. Itzel can simply not compensate for its worth. Heck.. if he had to be blunt about it, her entire village's worth might not actually match this small green fruit in his hand. 

Seated over Courtney's back, Ryu resorted to fondling her ass cheeks while he mulled deeply. His friends might have to wait for a few more weeks to get the Yuvas he had promised them.

'Whatever.. it's not like I am using them for myself.' Ryu had collected the Yuva fruits, Jake, Kyro, and Kira had received as a reward from Lyod. Promising them to double their fruits in some time. His friends being extremely trusting in him, offered the Yuvas without a second thought. 

Ryu had planted those fruits and now it was time for him to deliver on his promise. But because of Jenny, he might have to wait for the next harvest. Thinking that his friends would have made the same decision of extending a helping hand to an impoverished girl, he chose to make up his mind.

"Come here girl, sit up." Ryu held onto Jenny and made her sit up on his lap, from her earlier groveling position. He made no such efforts for Itzel but the woman didn't mind it one bit. She was perfectly happy staying on the ground for her girl.

"Do you promise to work hard, Jenny?" Little Jenny's heart raced. Probably for the first time in her life, she felt like there was a significant load on her shoulders. 

She knew where Ryu was coming from. His earlier words had made it clear that her family simply can not hope to pay up for this fruit in his hands. What was even more outrageous was that she had already devoured a similar one. 

Jenny felt her breathing grow labored. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Ryu's meaning was clear. He wanted her to pay him by putting hard work into her cultivation journey. Her progress will be the payment in itself for this fruit.

"I will put in all the efforts I can, big brother. I will justify your confidence in me." Jenny's big eyes glittered with simmering resolution. Her words were heartfelt. On the ground, Itzel was stunned. When did her daughter mature so much? 

"Big brother..?" Ryu gently slapped Jenny's butt. "The things I am doing for you, girl. Phew... You might as well start calling me father from now on." The serious atmosphere was dissolved slightly by his comments. 

Jenny too discerned Ryu's intentions and chortled. "I can call you that if you want." She reserved her answer with a nod. 

"Good. Then start doing that. I might as well play a stepfather of yours." Ryu answered without thinking too much. Peeling the skin off the fruit, he introduced it into Jenny's mouth. 

"Swallow it and get ready to start sensing the surge of mana inside of you." Jenny looked like she was ready to charge on the battlefield if asked so by the boy. Conviction flashing on her face, she closed her eyes immediately trying to sense the anticipated upsurge in her energy levels.

Ryu had told her what she felt last time when he ate the same fruit was actually what everyone referred to as Mana. Too bad for her, she simply can not put her fingers on the same sensation when asked to do that previously.

Jenny can tell somewhere inside of her, there was that tingling feeling. It's just that she repeatedly failed to voluntarily spike it. She can only blame her incompetence for it. 

Had she been good at it, Ryu would not have had to waste a precious fruit just for that. While she knew he was probably the most generous person out there, Jenny just didn't feel right about her failure. 

Unwilling to fail a second time, she clenched her jaws and squeezed shut her eyelids. Ryu noticed her tense state and smile brightly. "Oi.. take it easy. Calm yourself down. If you are too agitated, you will miss it." 

He saw her relax a lot after the warning. Regardless, Ryu was more or less clear that Jenny can not achieve perfect harmony in her body. 'It would have been better if she could have discovered it on her own.. anyhow..' 

He was short on both time and resources. Sparing two Yuvas for a girl he wasn't even related to was the limit of his capacity right now. "Stay composed.. I will transfer some of my mana to you. See if that helps you." 

In the end, he can only do this much. If he tried poking around too much with his mana, Jenny might get overwhelmed and it might even lead to injuries if he wasn't careful enough.

His right hand reached over to her back, slowly rubbing it across. Not replaceing it suitable, Ryu had to put his hand inside her top just so he can have skin-to-skin contact with the girl. 

"Ready?" He voiced out, seeing the girl respond with a single jerk of her head. With that, Ryu began rubbing his hand on her back while simultaneously releasing thin strands of his mana into the girl. 

Both Courtney and Itzel watched with baited breaths, hoping the young girl to succeed. Jenny was taking deep long breaths, her small chest heaving up and down under all the pressure she was succumbing to.

Seconds turned into minutes, but the girl was still at the starting point. She had made no progress at all. Ryu can tell she was once again getting restless. "Listen to my voice, Jenny. Focus on it.."

"Assume yourself to be in a dark room. All you can hear is my voice.." Jenny puffed her chest then let it fall back down, completely concentrating on Ryu and nothing else. 

"Now can you still hear me? Give me a nod." Receiving a positive reply, Ryu let his mana seep back in for the second time. Things were tense and maintaining the such fine control over his mana was rather taxing on a boy who had only been familiarised with it for a couple of months in total. 

"Now carefully direct this attention you have accumulated to inside your body. Start from your head and slowly keep going down.. search for it.. and you will replace it." Ryu was like a parent instructing his kid. 

Although Jenny took a long time, Ryu can't blame her. Who knew how many generations of her had lived under such abject conditions? Things must be hard for her. What was worse for her was there was no awakening ceremony for her to trigger the growth. 

*Shrrr* Right then, Ryu felt the skin on Jenny's back shiver uncontrollably. He instantly closed his own eyes, aware the girl has latched on to something. "Yes.. that's it, Jenny. Nurture the feeling.. don't let it go." 

Ryu's mana inside the girl allowed him a better understanding of her situation. He can tell Jenny was close to a breakthrough. His words excited the girl as well who clenched her fists and creased her forehead.

Unbeknownst to the four people there, Lyod had been watching the entire episode from a vantage point. His emotions were hard to describe. He simply lacked the vocabulary to quantify his shock. 

What Ryu was doing.. it was not supposed to be done by juniors. Awakening is a very tedious and intricate process. Only people with decades of experience were qualified to try it. 

Even Lyod would have not been totally nonchalant about an awakening ceremony. And here he had a young brat who was even younger than his girl, performing it. 

Multiple times in the past twenty minutes Lyod had wanted to stop Ryu. Every time he felt like jumping in, his curious mind will shoot down the idea. Maybe it was better to give the boy a chance, he argued with himself.

That's the reason Lyod had been extremely vigilant all this time. If things appeared to go south, he was ready to jump in and put an end to the process. 

No one can imagine his stupefaction when Ryu succeeded in his venture. Lyod can tell Jenny had awakened her latent mana reserves. It was only a matter of time now for the girl to consolidate it. 

Opposite him, Itzel and Courtney's faces blossomed with Ryu's level of excitement. Happy for the girl they refrained from making any sounds just yet. Simply because Jenny has not opened her eyes. 

Ryu didn't rush the girl. Gently removing his hand from her back, he let her get used to this new phenomenon inside her body. 

No one said anything for the next ten minutes. They saw Jenny's skin produce small sparks for the entire duration. Ryu didn't need to guide her any more than this. She will practice cutting off herself from the mana reserves then trying to sustain the bridge back again. 

After repeating the process multiple times over, Jenny was certain she had gotten the hang of it. "Brother Ryu...!!" Suddenly breaking out of her stupor, she jumped into his embrace, hugging him like it was the last thing to do. 

"I did it.. I did it.." Jenny was already crying and so was her mother. Ryu gave the girl countless pats on her back, only then he managed to free himself from the clinging young lady. 

"Yes you did.. girl. Now you must keep your end of the bargain." Jenny didn't know why, but she had a strong desire to kiss the boy in front of her. Alas.. kissing was not something they can do so casually. 

Jenny nodded her head like a bell, shaking it continuously for a minute. "I will brother. I must train hard. It's all thanks to you that I can touch mana. I will do you proud." 

Ryu kissed her head then let the girl unite with her mama. The two of them hugged just as hard. "I hope you are not feeling any discomfort, Courtney. You have been like this for quite some time." 

Separating his gaze from the mother-daughter pair, Ryu chose to fondle the head of the lady under him. Courtney had been patiently letting him sit on her back from the very start of the session without a single complaint. 

At this point, even a fool can realize that she had gotten addicted to this new job of hers. It started on the night of the orgy when Ryu randomly asked her to let him sit on her. Since then, Courtney had begun to casually offer her services every now and then. 

"No, young master. I can do this for the whole day." He got the reply with an enthusiastic smile from Courtney. Ryu can only smile back and stay put.
