Chapter 22: Pondering
Mingyue woke up from her sleep. She had a beautiful dream during her sleep. It was so beautiful that she didn’t wish to wake up from it. Last night before she lost her consciousness, she obtained enlightenment and successfully broke through to the Xiantian Realm!
Although, the way she broke through was a little weird, to those who cultivated Dual Cultivation Technique it’s a blessing. After all, even with Dual cultivation, their speed would be minuscule. So, every breakthrough would be a piece of happy news. Not to mention something like breaking the wall between Houtian and Xiantian where many cultivators had to stop for their life.
Gelou got up from the bed and her gaze fell upon a piece of torn cloth. After scrutinizing her eyes she deduced it was indeed her own. No wonder she felt a little chilly! But right beside the torn cloth, she noticed a brand new attire.
She understood Shen must have kept it her for but she couldn’t find even his shadow in this room. She prepared to start wearing the dress but noticed her body felt especially sticky. With no other option, she wrapped the blanket around her body and left the tent.
The pond was just in front of the tent set up by Shen. So, it was a lot easier for her to clean her body without being too awkward. After she cleaned herself and got dressed, she noticed the intoxicating aroma in the air. She could hardly see anything as it was still too early but still found the way with her nose. It didn’t take Gelou long to reach the source of the Aroma.
Her eyes almost shined by the view in front of her. Juicy meat, tasty looking fishes, different varieties of soup. Any of them was enough to bring water on her mouth.
“Oh, you are here!” suddenly, a voice interrupted her thought. She indeed understood how can there be any food without any person. Just as she thought to apologize and return, she felt the voice similar.
Turning to the location of the voice, she saw a topless young man. He had light muscles on his body but every muscle seemed as hard as obsidian and contained unimaginable explosive power. Just from his action, it could be seen he had a proud but carefree disposition.
“Ah, Young-...” Mingyue Gelou blushed as she remembered what happened when she called him ‘Young Master’. “S-Shen, you were here?”
Indeed it was none other than Shen. “Yeah, I didn’t want to disturb you and it was pretty boring to wander around here. So, I decided to cook something delicious for you.”
Gelou didn’t try to be polite either as only fools would reject such offer. Firstly, she drank a mouthful of soup which caused her eyes to shine. “Yo-Shen, you got better again, they are much tastier than before. Can they even get anymore tastier?”
Although, Gelou drank this soup a few times during her journey, everytime she felt it the taste different. Even if it was only a few days for Gelou and Wushuang, it was different for Shen. Inside the Absolute Realm, he can spend additional Twelve days, every single day! Even though he didn't use full time, the difference was still huge.
“Haha, I’m just learning. You can have as much as you want. Just tell me if you need more, I have plenty.” Shen didn’t really act polite but stated the truth. Gelou just smiled at his response. No one can possibly be better than her Young Master. She never tasted something so delicious before. Even Yu He Inn’s best dish couldn’t be compared to his casual prepared dish!
Gelou couldn't stop praising Shen as she tasted every dish. There was not even a hint of awkwardness between them. Shen had a happy smile on his face as he successfully avoided the awkwardness.
After finishing all the dishes, Shen tidied everything and didn’t forget to separate the treasured sheet from the tent. They both decided to return after Shen cleared everything as if they never visited the place.
Gelou and Shen both used the same path for returning their tent. On the way, Shen noticed Gelou walking very weirdly. He even asked once but she just said its nothing and sped up. Shen noticed her cheek turning red and finally understood something.
He didn’t let her further and lifted her in princess carry. The sudden change in view caused Gelou to yelp in surprise. “Geez, you should tell me if it hurts or feels uncomfortable.”
“It’s embarrassing...” Gelou hid her face in his chest. No matter what he said she didn’t reply anymore.
“Shen, I am not dreaming, right? I can be with you, for real?” Gelou suddenly said.
“You are already mine, silly. Even if you don’t want to stay with me, I will see how you run away. As for your dream, we can go for another few rounds to wake you up.” Shen smirked as he thought this far.
Gelou squirmed a bit as she tightly held onto Shen’s arm. Face red as a tomato. She couldn’t help but remember about last night and his hard pounding was still vivid to her memories. Just thinking about those moments makes her feel hot.
Shen didn’t get any response from her as he kept jumping and running but it was still very smooth. Gelou didn’t even feel any discomfort even though he was running. Shen started pondering about last night. The Absolute Duo Manual was mystical and filled with many unknown things.
Unlike the last time, he could feel it running throughout his whole body. It felt rather strange to him. While it required his partner to have greater cultivation base for greater benefits, it still let him breakthrough from the peak of the 7th Grade to 8th Grade Xiantian.
On the other hand, his Absolute Realm didn’t upgrade. He expected the realm to level up but it seemed he took the upgrade too lightly. Originally, the realm would indeed upgrade after having sex with the second partner but with better rewards, the requirement for every upgrade also increased.
Shen only knew about the first two levels and had no idea about the others. But, he did know this realm had Nine Layers. He only lewdly smiled as he wondered how many women this realm would need to max out.
But obviously, his Harem would be much, much bigger!
