Gigolo Diaries-Chapter 23: No One Can Be Elaine

Eros, out of sheer curiosity, picked up the book and began glancing through. At first, he had thought it was some cultivation manual, but the more he read the more he realised what this was. His face turned a slight shade of red as he read the vivid description of sex scenes.

’Why in the world is an esteemed Holy knight reading something so...’ he couldn’t come up with an answer, so in the end he just shook his head and closed the book.

He had to say, the Holy Knights were a weird bunch. Much different from how he had expected them.

Just as he was about to drop the book he noticed someone standing behind him. It was Rachel, and she had her head down, her face burning red from intense embarrassment.

She had returned when his attention was divided so he hadn’t noticed her.

There was a long and awkward silence between them as Eros used the moment to take a good look at her. She was tall, as tall as him if not taller, meaning she dwarfed most men.

She had a slender frame and her brown leather armor did well to complement her waterfall of brown hair. While she wasn’t the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, she had a unique look that made it hard for anyone not to stare twice. Her glasses also made a proper memory anchor.

"You want it back?" Eros asked with a raised brow, waving the book.

"Y—Yes." She stretched her hand forward. "You didn’t read it, did you?"

Eros scratched the back of his neck. "Uhh, just a little bit."

She froze for a second, then quickly recovered herself. She adjusted her glasses a little bit.

"It’s not what you’re thinking." She shook her head. "I can’t help it," she said with a bitter smile.

Eros then frowned, he had no idea what she meant by she couldn’t control it. She couldn’t control having perverted thoughts or what.

"What do you mean by that?"

She let out an exhausted sigh. "It’s just that I made a mistake, and now— You know what, there’s no use in telling you all this." She shook her head and reached for the book.

She clearly wasn’t comfortable talking about this with a stranger, even though she very much needed an outlet. Eros also wasn’t that keen on knowing so he didn’t push for her to continue.

But the moment her hand touched his as she was reaching for the book, he sensed something that made him grab her hand.

Rachel froze and instinctively tried to pull away, but to her surprise she couldn’t free herself. Even though she had barely put any force into pulling away, it came as a surprise that Eros could maintain his grip considering she was a Pseudo Evolver. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Stop resisting," Eros said with a serious expression. "I think I can help you."

He had noticed something wrong with her system through the brief contact and it was something he was familiar with. Instability in yin and yang. This case, however, was a bit different.

Rachel’s eyes widened at his words, and the next thing she felt was his nexus trying to invade her body. Out of instinct she rejected it and easily pushed his nexus out.

"I said, stop resisting."

Hearing Eros’ words she couldn’t help but grit her teeth. She had no idea what he was trying to do, but something in her wanted to believe that he could really help her. Perhaps it was hope, but in the end she stopped resisting and allowed his nexus to flow into her.

She couldn’t help but moan a little too loudly when the warm energy began dispersing throughout her body.

Eros’ eyes twitched, because he had the Love god’s bloodline, his nexus had this unique comfort property. It was the main reason he had gotten so many clients in the past years and also why he was such a talented dual cultivator.

But there were also times like these where he just wanted to use his nexus normally, but couldn’t.

He didn’t think much about it and continued searching throughout her body. It didn’t take long for him to confirm his suspicions and his expression turned grim.

He withdrew his nexus and looked at Rachel, who noticed his gaze.

"So?" She muttered with hope in her eyes.

Eros just frowned. "You tried copying Elaine’s technique, didn’t you?"

Rachel froze for a moment, her mouth opening and closing without forming any words. In the end, she dropped her head and silently whispered.

"Yes. She’s– she’s just...so powerful, I thought maybe... just maybe I could be as powerful as her. Not even as powerful, I’ll be happy just being a small percentage of her."

Eros sighed; he had noticed the problem quickly. She had tried isolating the yin and yang forces within her to form a dual personality like Elaine, but this made them corrode each other, defeating whatever purpose she had in mind.

This was an expected outcome. The technique Elaine uses was one that could only be practiced by a once-in-a-lifetime genius. It wasn’t that Rachel wasn’t talented—the mere fact that she was still alive meant she had some degree of talent—rather it was Elaine who was a cultivation anomaly.

"Can you help me?" She asked in a low voice.

Eros thought a bit more: the main problem now was that her yin had corroded her yang making it so that her body barely had any pure yang.

This would explain her pervertedness. Her acting in a sexually attractive manner was just her body’s way of pushing her to get more pure yang. She was probably doing her best to suppress the urge to run around naked in search of a man.

Even if she did find a man, the problem wouldn’t end there, the pure yang from him would just end up corroded once more.

However, if that man was Eros, it would be an entirely different scenario considering he could help her take away the corrupting yin while giving her pure yang. This would help her leave a normal life for a few months, before she would need him again. While this wasn’t a lasting solution. It was the best he could come up with.

"Meet me at the Sauves Massage Parlour when all this is done. I can’t do much about your condition now, but I should be able to get you fixed up then."

He worked at the massage parlour in his free time.

Her eyes widened as joy flooded her expression. "Really?"

He nodded. Right now he wasn’t yet an Awakener, so he wouldn’t be able to help her much. That was the main reason he postponed helping her.

He didn’t expect her to jump on him out of the blue, hugging him tightly. He could almost hear her sobs beneath his clothes.

While it was very easy to take advantage of her right now, he didn’t want to. After all, it was the build-up that mattered in dual cultivation. He patted her head a few times before she calmed down.

Eros, not wanting to waste the chance, gave her a light pat on her ass with his nexus. This was a habit he had formed over the years. A way to mark his clients before anything ever happened.

To his surprise, other than a light moan she didn’t do anything else.

After some seconds, they finally separated. The footsteps of the others approaching reached them, and because she didn’t want them to see her in a state like this she ran into her tent.

Eros on the other hand was contemplating how much to charge her considering his services weren’t free.

Meanwhile, back in town, the Count’s chief guard, Fester, had finally found the place where that "plumber" lived.
