Lin Rui felt a bit like trying to persuade a wayward beauty to reform.

After all, men have always been inherently base, enjoying dragging respectable women down and encouraging women of the trade to reform.

Of course, Yalanna wasn't wayward; she's still a maiden, just enjoys playing with and manipulating people's emotions.

The elves have suffered because of her.

Fortunately, she's much purer now and doesn't play around as much.

With her generous military music effect, Presto's blood donation will be much easier.

After all, the anthem played by 120 priests would trigger the "Divine Chant" effect, increasing the life recovery speed of allied forces who hear it by 50%, and upon the immediate sound of the music, they get a direct healing effect, recovering 2% of their maximum life value per second for 5 seconds.

Even if Presto donates blood, it will recover quickly.

A dragon's dignity, you have to maintain it the right way.

If you buy its blood with wealth or force it to act like a blood slave, it's definitely unwilling.

If it's a bit stubborn, it might prefer to break rather than bend.

But when it's done in the name of sacrificing for the domain's welfare, even if it's a vile, greedy dragon, it will still feel honored. At least... in a collective setting, its greedy and selfish nature will be compressed to an extreme. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

And its sacrifice would indeed benefit the entire domain.

This is the result of territorial administrative control, having this powerful being infuse blood into the territory, supporting the rights of the weaker ones.

And Lin Rui is never stingy, telling Violet, "Give it 10 pieces each of the Mythical Material: Rainbow Oak and the World Tree Leaves."

Audrey widened her eyes and asked, "Father, you're so generous? Then I want to, I want to donate blood too! 20 pieces of Mythical Material have already exceeded the value of the Legendary-level potion created by the donation, right?"

Lin Rui replied nonchalantly, "Sure, go ahead. The Crimson Chalice: Battle Priestesses probably need them. When you trigger the 'Historically Significant' trait with the Territorial Essence, donate blood once."

Audrey immediately hid her hands behind her back, quickly shaking her head, saying, "Hehehe, father, I was joking, just joking. I suddenly remembered that after the 'Historically Significant' effect triggers, my Spiritual Energy will be fully restored, and I still have to keep sacrificing and recruiting skeletons, probably no time to donate blood. I'm a person of principles, no work without reward, so I don't want the 20 pieces of Mythical Material."

Her hands behind her back made her chest appear even larger.

From the first meeting, she complained that her chest was too big, making her waist look not long enough.

Now, with the increase in charm attribute, her figure has become better and better. Her waist is slender and beautifully curved, making her chest tremble, her toes no longer visible when she looks down.

It's said that when a woman looks down and can't see her toes, she is a peerless beauty.

This phrase applies even to Lin Rui.

This vigorous shaking brought aftershocks to her chest immediately, making it the most beautiful sight in the world.

A professor once said, as men age, their focus on women gradually shifts downward. When young and just becoming interested in the opposite sex, the gaze is high, favoring the girl's elegant face and flowing hair. Innocent young men believe grabbing a strand of their beloved's hair captures the essence of their youth.

When full of vitality, the focus starts to lower, believing that not seeing toes when looking down is the epitome of beauty.

After experiencing female charm and trying forbidden fruit, they realize reaching the peak means no longer being infatuated with the view from the top.

That's when the focus shifts to the waist, no longer liking slender, thin girls, but preferring slightly plump, curvy women.

But what is slightly plump, what is curvy?

In summary, you can have flesh, a large chest, wide hips, even appear slightly fat, but your waist must be slim. King of Chu favored slim waists because only a woman with a slim waist has a beautiful curve, making the chest and hips appear more attractive and shapely.

So, a slim waist is the key distinction between slightly plump and fat women!

A more perfect woman would naturally have a slim waist and long legs.

Lin Rui, since trying the forbidden fruit, has had a consistent aesthetic for years, only liking girls with slim waists and long legs!

As for further downward, it may take men until forty-five to have a foot fetish. And some men with special preferences might focus here earlier.

Lin Rui, undoubtedly in the prime of his life, favors the area between the chest and waist.

Audrey's slender yet fruitful figure immediately made his nose warm.

Violet sighed, saying, "Lord, you're truly defenseless against beauty."

Lin Rui righteously replied, "Beauty? Unclear, just when flowers are in full bloom, if I don't appreciate them, it makes me seem oblivious."

The saying that women beautify themselves for those who appreciate them, Audrey immediately came over to link arms with Lin Rui, happily saying, "I love this infatuated look from father, let father see enough tonight."

Lin Rui promptly pushed her away, fearing his impulses, more importantly, worried that the treasure on him would affect Audrey.

[Secret Treasure: Clan Aura]

[Level: Semi-Divine Artifact]

[A strong person's aura always influences those around them, their breathing, training, and aura inevitably affecting followers. Ancient Gods can erode and pollute the world, dragons can dragonize their clan, even giants' powers inevitably cause visualization phenomenon in servants. This treasure significantly strengthens your influence over the clan.]

The introduction is just that simple!

Completely without any digital display effect.

This made Lin Rui especially uneasy.

Logically, Presto offering this semi-divine artifact shows it's genuinely eager to please Lin Rui.

Perhaps it also has some selfishness, wanting to gain some influence from Lin Rui to strengthen itself. After all, Lin Rui's strength, from its perspective, is beyond comprehension! Thus, if Lin Rui's aura is released by this semi-divine artifact, the entire territory would be influenced, and it would naturally gain benefits.

However, it's hard to see any malicious intent in offering this semi-divine artifact.

Still, after seeing the effect, Lin Rui instinctively felt guilty.

If he truly carried this semi-divine artifact, how would it affect his clan?

Since this semi-divine artifact has no specific numerical explanation, and it's not so powerful as to be entirely subjective, its power is hard to predict.

Lin Rui seriously pondered what traits and qualities he had to influence his entire clan.

If it were the luck attribute, that would be fine.

Then under the influence of his aura, the clan becomes entirely lucky, everyone blessed, fortunes abundant.

This would be the best possible outcome.

At that time, the territory's average Child of Fortune, be it combat strength, production efficiency, technological research, Treasures of Heaven and Earth, all areas would advance rapidly.

But the problem is, he finds this possibility very slim!

Indeed, his luck value is high, the luck level reaching this world's extreme, almost Mythical-level.

But the problem is, none of this originates from his own essence, especially since he believes in the Goddess of Fortune, causing much of the lucky aura to be granted by the Goddess of Fortune, at least half of the credit goes to his wife.

Many luck-related data are results of the Goddess of Fortune's interference.

So he thinks making the territory lucky is a negligible probability.

Besides, he doesn't want to go in this direction, otherwise, how to distinguish between his and his wife's followers in the future?

Can he even become the Luck God?

Though, of course, there are more than one deity governing luck; two having the same duty is quite normal, but Lin Rui doesn't want to compete with his wife for faith.

Then if the clan influence isn't luck, what could it be?
