Free Web NovelChapter 13: Spiritual Water Wine Flask
[POV]: Henry
I blinked several times while gazing at my wife on the bed. I could see the blush on her face and the tension in her expression.
I sighed, climbed into bed, and hugged her. Indeed, she carried a familiarity that reminded me of my ex-girlfriend. Her warmth comforted my mind, decreasing my murderous intent.
My heartbeat began to settle. The slight flinches in my body did, too.
Soon, I drifted into a deep sleep while hugging my wife. The fragrant scent of her hair and body was like a sleeping tonic made from divine herbs, soothing my nerves and calming my mind.
I was very tired today. The moment I released the monster inside me, I couldn’t control it anymore. At that time, my only thoughts were of killing and blood.
I looked like a starved wolf that had been set loose among a flock of sheep. In this world, fighting was inevitable. Perhaps I would face many situations like that in the future.
I didn’t like the feeling of being out of control.
I needed to find a way to control my monster, not by hugging my wife anymore.
A real solution.
One day passed.
"Wake up! I beg you. You’ve already been hugging me for an entire day."
My mind was still hazy as her voice rang in my ears.
"Young Master, please. You can sleep for a whole day without eating anything, but your wife still has basic needs."
Finally, I managed to open my eyes. I realized I had been holding my wife in my arms the entire time while sleeping.Indeed, for the first time since being reincarnated into this world, I had enjoyed such a deep and restful sleep.
"You’re literally a perverted scumbag," my wife yelled, her face flushed with embarrassment.
I merely gave her an indifferent look before gesturing to the maid to continue her work. Then, I headed for the door and walked out.
"I need some fresh air to breathe."
Ting!
[Congratulations! You’ve completed the mission. Although the process didn’t go quite as planned, the outcome is rather promising.]
[You still managed to make her heart flutter through your cruel and violent actions. She still hates you, yet the Gods believe her feelings will eventually change.]
[Calculating reward...]
Ting!

My eyes fixed on the Spiritual Water Wine Flask that materialized in midair at this moment.
I caught the flask and examined it.
I never thought the system would reward me with an item that could restore my wife’s mana core. Even the royal Pendragon family couldn’t restore it for her... No. I thought her family simply didn’t want to do it.
After all, my wife was truly a bug in this world.
But there was no point dwelling on that right now. Instead, I needed to test it immediately. Once my wife recovered, I believed the next mission would reward me even more.
Ring!
Ring!
I took out my phone and heard.
[Polly]: Young Master, your father has invited you and your wife to a family dinner in ten minutes.
I asked,
"Why didn’t you inform me a little earlier?"
[Polly]: Because your brothers just got home, so it was arranged rather suddenly.
I was silent for a moment before replying.
"Fine. I will."
I walked to my room and pushed the door open, only to find my wife still naked as my maid gently wiped her body clean.
My wife stared at my bewildered face before her cheeks flushed red. She let out an angry groan as the maid quickly grabbed a bath towel and covered her body.
"Bastard! Don’t you know I always bathe at this time?"
I said in a casual, indifferent tone.
"There’s no time to bathe anymore. We’ll have a family dinner in seven minutes. Put your clothes on quickly."
My wife grumbled.
"It’s all your fault. If you... damn it. I hate you."
I ignored her grumbling and stared at the flask in my hand. I thought it was the right time to use it.
"Clara, go out. I will help my wife get dressed."
Clara blinked for a moment before smiling in understanding.
"Yes, sir. Hope you two have a good time."
My wife flinched for a moment, her face turning red as she stammered at Clara.
"D-don’t leave me."
Well, regardless of her begging, Clara just left, ignoring her. Anyway, she was the maid of my family, not the Pendragon family.
I walked up to my wife, who gulped as she stared at me with a red face. She didn’t seem to resist much. She just shut her eyes tightly, as if wanting this moment to pass as quickly as possible. Then she opened one eye and quickly frowned as I brought the flask to her mouth.
"What is that?"
I said,
"Drink it. There’s no time to explain."
My wife hesitated for a moment, unsure about drinking it, but I didn’t like that hesitation. I just poured it straight into her mouth.
My wife swallowed it in gulps, almost instinctively.
Her eyes filled with hatred as she glared at me, as if wanting to say, "I swear that one day, I’ll do the same to you."
But a few moments later, her eyes slowly shifted from hatred to surprise. It looked like she was feeling something inside her at that moment.
Particles of light floated through the room and gathered toward my wife’s heart. Soon, they formed a sphere, emitting a bright glow that filled the room.
I glanced at her body and assessed.
"I can feel it. The mana is returning to you."
