Life After Prison

Chapter 1497
Severin had been expecting Sofia to break some very serious news to him, so the mention of a betrothal gift left him quite
pleasantly surprised. “Oh, a betrothal gift. Of course, of course. I’ll have it prepared,”
Sofia was delighted when Severin readily agreed. She continued, “My father’s demands are quite high. The condition he set was
that you had to provide him with ten third–grade low–rank pills.”
Severin smiled when he heard that. “That’s a very reasonable request. We’ve amassed plenty of spiritual herbs this time. around.
I’ll refine those pills in the coming days if I have the free time. After we return from Littleton and get some rest, wr shall visit your
father at the Stormy Moon Sect
Sofia nodded happily and replied, “All right! It’s settled then.”
Severin could not resist wrapping his arms around her and kissing her after seeing her radiant smile.
The following day, Severin found himself with some free time and decided to refine a significant quantity of third–grade medium–
rank spiritual herbs into pills. He was already quite skilled at that, but he aimed to become even more proficient to better make a
breakthrough to third–grade high–rank alchemist.
Apart from spending time with his family and children, Severin devoted most of his free time to refining pills. By the end of the
day, he had successfully refined over thirty third–grade medium–tank pills,
When night came, Severin headed to Sheila’s room. She felt a bit nervous and asked, “Why are you here, huh?”
Severin smiled and approached her so he could wrap his arms around her. “I wanted to sleep with you last night, but I noticed
that you were busy training and were almost on the verge of a breakthrough. I derided to come today instrad.” He then frowned
and pretended to be unhappy, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy to see me?”
Sheila turned around and replied with a blush “Of course, I’m happy! I’m really glad you came to see me. We’ve all missed you
so much while you were gone.”
Severin’s heart felt all warm and fuzzy. He kissed Sheila’s neck and elicited a soft gasp from her. Sheila trembled slightly before
turning around and rolling her eyes at Severin. “Why didn’t you warm me, you cascal? Did you have to catch me off guard like
that?”

Severin became even more attracted to her when he saw her being slightly angry at him. He held her slender waist and said, All
right, all right, I’ll give you a heads–up next time. It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed, darling.”
“That’s more like it,” Sheila replied, blushing. In no time, Severin carried Sheila up and laid her down on the bed. The
atmosphere in the room soon descended into throes of passion.
The next morning, Severin returned to his roun and finally gathered materials consisting of seven or eight different plant species.
“It’s finally time for me to try and create third–grade high–rank pills! I’m hoping I can make a breakthrough to third–grade high–
rank alchemist soon so I can continue to aim higher.” Severin was eagerly anticipating his breakthrough to becoming a fourth–
rank alchemist because it would greatly enhance the effectiveness of the pills he produced for his cultivation. Fourth rank pills
would allow him to accelerate his propress much more effectively. Third–grade pills, while helpful for regular progress, might not
be as effective for him to reach the next level. If not administered carefully, they could even hinder his progress.
