Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Although Kael had encountered similar passive abilities before, ones like the "Lionheart Certification" were incredibly rare.

Previously, such passives were generally found on monsters or some non-human races, such as the [X Dragon Body] possessed by a giant dragon.

But to see such a passive ability on a human, in his ten years of gaming, he had only witnessed it three times; now, it appeared for the fourth time.

However, when he glanced at the system panel displaying "4/396" for the passive progress bar, he started to ponder whether this thing was really achievable in such a short time.

"Sister Franca, how can I awaken the Lionheart power more quickly?"

"You don’t need to worry about that," Franca said with a playful glint in her charming eyes. "That’s my concern."

Kael was taken aback for a moment, instantly realizing what Franca intended to gift him.

As the two walked down the corridor, they eventually stopped at a courtyard exuding steam.

Kael: ???

Kael instinctively took a step back. The steamy scene reminded him involuntarily of his absurd experience with Hassaka.

It was also in a foggy environment like this that chaotic events unfolded.

Noticing Kael’s wary expression, Franca laughed heartily, clutching her stomach, devoid of any noblewoman’s demeanor.

"Don’t be nervous, it’s nothing strange. Though you do look quite lovely, I haven’t reached the extent of wanting to devour a junior upon first meeting. Don’t overthink it; this is the site for the family baptism ceremony."

"Lady Franca."

From within the courtyard, it seemed someone heard the sound outside. A maid opened the door, poked her head out, and asked the two: Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Are you conducting the baptism today? I’ll heat the pool for you."

"No, the one needing the baptism today is not me, Sapphire. This is a new branch acknowledged by Father, the head of Helois’ household. You can consult Father about the relevant matters. Today, open my pool, and I’ll prepare the materials. You need not participate temporarily."

Franca chuckled softly, then turned to Kael, saying,

"That girl’s name is Sapphire. She was Father’s gift to me. She primarily manages the baptism site in the family. Come on, once the pool is ready, I’ll have the materials prepared. Just relax and enjoy your scented bath and baptism process!"

Wearing a mischievous smile, the enchantress seemed eager to see Kael’s changing expressions, which she always found amusing.

Kael had heard of such baptisms before. He had previously used a similar, albeit weaker, method to congeal an Ice Element Affinity trait in himself. But it was obvious that the Lionheart family had a very comprehensive ritual method. The complete ritual method would better unlock the body’s potential, with the "Dragon Blood Bath Ceremony" being the most famous.

Almost every dragon slayer acquired part of a dragon’s strength through such a ceremony. However, it also posed a problem: the marks left by the dragon blood ceremony would remain with the dragon slayer for life, inciting the resentment and even hatred of many dragons.

Kael could only perform a mage salute and said with a smile, "Then I’ll leave the rest to you, Sister."

The enchantress nodded and turned to the maid called Sapphire, instructing,

"Sapphire, fetch two clean bathrobes from my resting chamber for Kael to change into."

Sapphire gave her a surprised look and retreated, nodding.

"Is that maid a golem?" Kael asked in surprise.

"Sharp eyes. That’s a service-type humanoid golem Father had crafted with the help of the Mage Academy’s grandmaster. How about it? Isn’t she big and fair?"

Kael shook his head and said, "I didn’t notice that. I just felt a high level of magical craftsmanship on her, so I was a bit curious."

"Brother Kael, you’re an incubus. Shouldn’t your eyes be on more... relevant places?"

Just as Kael was about to say something, he noticed Sapphire emerging again, bowing to them, and saying,

"The pool and related ritual setups are ready. Miss Franca, young master Kael, please enter promptly."

The golem maid smiled softly, showing dimples on her flawless face, and innocently reminded them once more,

"Please proceed quickly; the ritual consumes magic stones continuously."

The two said no more, heading directly inside.

Arriving at a pool about the size of an ordinary bedroom, surrounded by steaming mist, they could faintly see runes and special force fields.

Franca’s lips curled into a smile as she bent one alabaster leg out of a slit in her black long dress by the pool’s cleaning area, washing her legs.

The warm water flowed down her legs, creating a sensual image.

She gently nudged the pool with her toes, feeling its scalding temperature, and said, "It’s just right."

She spread her hands, revealing a box that fell into her grasp. Opening the wooden box, a scorching heat erupted from within as if burning charcoal was igniting.

Franca flicked her fingers, causing the lava-like substance to flow out of the box, making Kael’s mouth dry for a moment—
