In fact, many mermen already had misgivings about Vaans Heavenly Massage. Given the constant moans that escaped the tent, they didnt feel confident that they could keep their mouths shut during their service.

However, the observable benefits of the Heavenly Massage were just too good for the mermen to pass it. As such, they ultimately queued up to try their luck.

Unfortunately, since Vaan did not accept males, the mermen could only give up. .

Perhaps this is for the best, a dispirited merman sighed, saying, Ill probably die of shame if I made such embarrassing noises and was heard by everyone. I would never be able to go out in public with my head held high again.

Cant we just set up a sound insulation barrier so that no one outside the tent can hear us? a wishful merman wondered.

Didnt you listen to Lord Vaans words? He just told us that even if we dont feel embarrassed making such noises, he would still be the one feeling offended, the dispirited merman said, sighing again.

But its quite normal for men to be serviced by male masseurs. You only get female masseuses if you are lucky… the wishful merman added.

Male masseurs servicing men is normal, yes, the dispirited merman partially agreed, adding, However, normal massages dont make people moan like that. Honestly, Lord Vaan made a fair point.

If I were a male masseur and the merman I was servicing was making such noises, I would also feel compelled to slap the person to death. Receiving non-mermaid clients is already disappointing enough. Why do they have to make it gay? the dispirited merman said exasperatedly.

This… fair enough.

…

Inside the Heavenly Massage tent, the silver-haired mermaid named Ondine became quite nervous once it was just her and Vaan. Evidently, she was not as brave as she thought when she lost the crowd.

Still, it was hard not to feel this way when the only thing inside the tent was a double-sized human bed that seemed to be used for lovemaking, not something one would see inside a general massage parlor.

Even though the bed was cleaned and any lingering scent in the area had been erased, Ondines imagination still ran wild at the sight of the bed.

Lay down and leave your body to me, Vaan calmly instructed before adding, If you have any body parts you would like extra focus on, please let me know. Otherwise, we will proceed with the standard full-body massage.

Although Vaan was calm and free of any licentious intentions, Ondine was still startled by his voice coming from behind her. She became quite timid in front of Vaan, despite being much older.

Her nervousness due to the vast difference in status was not something that age could cure.

Is it really just a massage? Ondine asked in a small voice.

Vaan blinked before replying with a smile, It certainly is just a massage. If you are expecting some special services, Im afraid I will have to disappoint you, my Lady.

Ondine immediately felt relief. But at the same time, her eyes briefly flickered with disappointment, even though she didnt know why she would feel this way.

Vaan noticed it, but he couldnt be bothered to ask or show his concerns. Even if he was an expert in reading other peoples thoughts, emotions, and behaviour, he didnt see the need to invite such troubles onto himself.

After all, the woman might not know what her problem was, even if he asked her what the issue was.

Of course, even if Ondine expressed her desire for special services, Vaan would not agree, not because she wasnt a beauty, which she was, but because he simply had too many clients to go through.

Vaan was only interested in absorbing the mermaids built-up mana debris.

The effects of dual cultivation were undeniable and undoubtedly superior to pure massage. Such a fact had been proven by time and experience.

However, if Vaan wanted to look for a dual cultivation partner, he would set his eyes on mermaids with higher cultivation bases. At this present level, a Divine Warrior offers limited benefits. As such, there was no need to waste so much time in this area.

Of course, this wasnt the most important reason for Vaans aversion to dual cultivation.

Mermaids, like other marine species, had extremely high fertility. Even if he wasnt careful with contraception and caused a mistake, impregnating a mermaid, he could potentially end up with hundreds to thousands of kids at the very least.

His sense of responsibility and morality would not allow him to abandon them and leave them to be raised by their mother alone. It would go against his conscience and weigh on his mind.

After all, children werent born into the world by their own will. As such, they shouldnt be punished for it.

However, taking care of so many kids was undoubtedly a heavy burden and would greatly delay his goals. As such, he couldnt afford the risk.

Furthermore, his status was incredibly special in the Myriad Sea God Palace. If he were careless with shooting his seeds, there were still the possibilities of them being saved to conceive life through alternative means.

Ahh!

Ondines alluring cry of pleasure helplessly sounded the moment Vaan laid hands on her beautiful body, awakening her slumbering pores to sensual stimulation. Her mind was quickly drawn into the uncharted territory of carnal pleasure.

It only took a mere moment for Ondine to understand the secret behind the uncontrolled moans of the previous clientsVaans Heavenly Massage was truly miraculous and heaven-defying.

Ondine helplessly moaned, drowning in pleasure with joy, completely at the mercy of Vaans fingertips, which skillfully danced on her body with mastery. Although the effect it produced seemed obscene, there was also beauty in it.

Naturally, when any skill reached apex mastery, its actions would look like a work of art.

Three hours are up, Vaans calm announcement suddenly shattered Ondines increasingly wild fantasy like a splash of cold water.

Although Ondone was disappointed like the previous clients, her pretty face quickly flushed with shame and embarrassed at the recollection of the fleeting dream, conjured by her overstimulated hormones.

If Vaan had expressed any desire for lovemaking while she was under such a profound state, she believed she would have readily agreed.

Thank you for your service, Lord Vaan.

Ondine quickly fled the scene with embarrassment after transferring the required amount of CP to Vaans ID card. She couldnt look him in the face without keeping her fluttering emotions in check.

Vaan softly sighed at the thought of capturing a maidens heart with his hands. Then, he checked his ID cards balance to confirm the CP before lamenting about the pitiful increase.

It aint much, but its honest work…
