The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Upon hearing what Minos wanted by bringing them to this aphrodisiac store, Gloria and Ruth looked at each other in curiosity, trying to understand how sincere he was being.

Neither of them knew about things related to the kind of stimulant Minos was talking about, but they knew their husband well.

"Are you making this up?" Gloria smiled at him as she squeezed his belly through his shirt with two fingers.

Minos looked unjustly at his wife and called one of the attendants in that unique store.

"Hello, how can I help you?" A woman dressed in red and black, extraordinarily sexy but without being vulgar, approached them with a smile on her face.

Minos then said. "I want you to tell me a little about Always Up herb."

Upon hearing the name of the most famous product in this store, that attendant looked at the two women next to Minos and momentarily closed her eyes. "The Always Up herb is a powerful aphrodisiac famous for its reaction in men..."

"This powerful herb was discovered in the remote past when the first state in this area was founded." She began to tell the local history to them. "At that time, the Vogel family had not yet been founded, and another house dominated this area."

"But the family that would become the first royal house of these areas was formed in this region after being deeply affected by the Always Up, which happened to be named not for its obvious effect, but for what happened at that time."

Gloria and Ruth seemed interested in such a story, while Minos just watched his wives' expressions.

She continued. "After a great calamity, the one who would become the first king of this area had to flee with his brother's wife after a great siege of his family by an enemy power."

"While fleeing, they spent days without access to food until not only the future king, but his sister-in-law ate the said herb without knowing the effects." She strangely looked at the trio in front of her.

"So, he and his sister-in-law..." Ruth was about to say but did not even have to finish her question.

"Yes. This herb made them both extremely horny, which invariably led them to spend days having sex in a cave in the area." She smiled and said. "If you want to know, such a cave has been preserved and is called the Cocoon of Love."

"It is in the capital of our kingdom and can be visited daily."

Ruth and Gloria were surprised by this, but Minos, who already knew the story, did not find it impressive that such a place had become a tourist attraction.

"Anyway, after that taboo situation the two had, they felt the effects of the herb and returned to help their family. And as expected, they got good results and eventually saved their own house, taking the first step towards the rise that would happen a few years later."

"The herb was named that because they both stood on their feet from start to finish on their return to battle, having fought for hours without faltering."

Ruth was open-mouthed but then asked. "What happened to those two after such a situation?"ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

Minos answered in that woman's place. "The future king's sister-in-law became pregnant in that situation, and when her husband found out, he tried to kill her."

"Unfortunately for him, the future king and the future queen were already in love at the time and acted together against him..."

The attendant nodded and continued. "But both the first king and the first queen were aware that they had betrayed that person's trust and did not kill him. They just imprisoned him for 100 years while they consolidated their power."

"Once the state was formed, and they had overcome for a whole stage the betrayed man, they released him... Anyway, because of this, such a herb became the biggest symbol of this area, and to this day, it is worshipped."

"Every local child learns about its history during the spiritual academy and eventually carries it into their adult lives. There are even some days of the year when couples usually use it in their activities..." She smiled.

"As for its effects, once a man takes it, he will have to stay in bed for two days to relax his little friend..." She blushed a little, even though she was used to working in this place.

"However, as much as this herb is famous for its action on men, it can also be used on women and is just as meaningful on them as on men. The difference is that it's not as visual on them if you know what I mean..."

Gloria and Ruth blushed as they looked at that woman, sometimes spying on Minos with penetrating glances.

The attendant then finished her explanation. "In any case, Always Up has stimulating effects on both men and women and can cause both parties to spend two days in a bed to relieve their 'symptoms.'"

"After this period of extreme pleasure, those who satisfy all their needs will enter a state of 'enlightenment,' which can make them stronger by up to 10% depending on their talents and other characteristics."

"The only drawback is that this can only be used once for each stage of cultivation, as the body creates a resistance to this drug, which is only eliminated after spiritual cleansing during breakthroughs."

"Oh?" Ruth opened her mouth in surprise. "Can that happen? What about the duration?"

That woman in red and black answered without delay. "Yes, this herb is very potent. As for duration, that depends on the level of the one who consumes it."

"The herb has more prolonged effects on people at the 6th stage. Above that, the effects will drop until it zeroes out for Spiritual Demigods."

"For Spiritual Emperors like you, the effects should last two to three weeks." Then, she noticed their powers, noting that Minos and Ruth were at very close levels, but Gloria was far above them.

'It is unusual to see someone so strong planning to have fun with weaker people...' She silently thought as she judged the trio in front of her. 'But it's impressive enough that they are here together... I wonder if they will have a threesome?'

Gulp!

She swallowed her saliva, imagining these three making this dream of hers, but it was practically unfeasible to her in this society.

"So, it's true..." Ruth looked at Minos, realizing that her husband was still trustworthy, even in situations involving his greatest weakness.

Gloria ignored her harem sister and asked. "What about pregnant women? Is there a problem with using this herb?"

Seeing how the redhead was massaging her belly, this attendant understood the problem and explained. "No problem, unless the pregnant woman is close to giving birth. After all, this herb causes certain impulses that need to be satisfied. Otherwise, the person consuming it can even go crazy."

"But for pregnant women who are still far from giving birth, the only negative effect is regarding the duration of the temporary power bonus." She looked into Gloria's eyes. "The duration of these effects will drop from weeks to days."

"Oh? It's not so bad..."

After listening to that attendant's explanation, Minos convinced his women that using it once would not be harmful and soon bought that for them.

He also bought something for Abby for when she woke up.

With that, the three left that aphrodisiac store and headed to a restaurant in that city.
