Chapter 85: Birth of Ambition?
Inside a great hall made of gold, a girl with characteristics of a cat looked here and there. The exquisiteness of the hall attracted her greatly. Everything was so beautiful it felt like a dream to her.
Not too far away from her was a girl of similar height, who had a proud expression on her face.
“Say little Shang’er, why are you so adamant with Shen being your creator? From what I know, he didn’t even see this world at that time.” the girl with cat characteristics asked.
“Hmph! Shang’er has no idea what you want to say, but Master is Master. There’s no mistaking in it.” Shang’er proudly said, she was proud for having such a great Master as Shen, which she never doubted.
“What makes you so sure?” the cat girl, Kaidi, further inquired.
“Why do you want to know so badly?”
“Just curious.”
“Although it is weak, I can feel the bloodline inside Master’s body. It was the same bloodline that’s mixed while creating me.”
“Just because of the bloodline?” Kaidi surprisedly cried out. It was a common knowledge that your descendant has a similar bloodline, she wanted to explain the matter to her which she didn’t know. It was out of pure goodwill. “Even—”
However, she was mercilessly cut off by the golden loli, “Even Shang’er knows that idiot catty, but Master’s soul cannot be passed down. Hmph, if you still want to pester Shang’er don’t blame her for ignoring you.”
Kaidi wasn’t completely sure what she meant by his soul cannot be passed down but she knew she could not go forward with this topic, she could only try her luck at some later time. “Little Shang’er, you said there was a big garden, show your sister that place.”
...
After finding the Absolute Upgrade actually existing in this world in someone else’s hand, Shen went through many questions in his head. Was it the same person who had the Absolute Strengthening Technique? It seemed viable but why didn’t he upgrade the palace? It should have been more powerful then. How much he explored this ability? He felt curious and yearned for that knowledge but despite all this, something changed inside him. Something Important.
Even such a person who had both, Absolute Upgrade and Absolute Strengthening Technique couldn’t stand tall in this world and was forgotten in the flow of time. Cultivators goes against heaven by cultivating and taking the power to control their own destiny, yet such a person with these huge advantages couldn’t defy the flow of time and eventually fell.
He didn’t wish to be forgotten in the flow of time and be remembered throughout all ages. This was not out of fear of dying and being forgotten. He wanted to achieve something which others couldn’t achieve in the nine continent. He wanted to shake the entirety of the nine-continent... No! The nine continents were not enough, he wanted to shake the whole world, the uncharted territory of this world, the unseen part of that existed hidden from everyone’s eyes!
But all things cannot be achieved in a single sweep. Every perfect plan needs various steps, then what’s his first step to shake this world?
While he was considering various options, a gentle tone reached his ears, “You finally return.”
“Mmm, got caught up with things...” he whipped out a bottle of Tiger Bone Liquor and lifted it up, “Wanna go for a drink?”
“Drink?” Yu Ruyan’s eyelashes slightly fluttered.
“Yes, although I have yet to had some, I can vouch for its great quality.”
“Sure, we can talk over some drink.” Ruyan motioned her fingers, indicating him to follow her and headed for the rooftop.
The rooftop of the villa was the same as before when Shen left the Hundred Miles City. With a simple wooden table in the middle, two same wooden chairs were kept opposite to each other.
Ruyan walked gracefully and grabbed a chair to sit, but a hand from her behind touched the chair and it disappeared into thin air. She looked behind her, only to find the smiling Shen. Perplexed by his action, she sent her a questioning look, “Hmm?”
Shen continued his goofing smile as he sat on the last, and only remaining chair. His action immediately made sense to Ruyan. She gave a helpless smile and sat on top of his lap, her face meeting his. “You really like this...”
“Is that something you need to ask?” Shen questioned her while taking in her bodily fragrance. He didn’t however, let her answer, “It’s not just I like this, any man would die to take my place whether you believe it or not.”
“You are getting good at flowery words,” Ruyan coyly responded.
“This is just my humble but heartfelt thought, unblemished by any type of treacheries,” Shen said as if he was singing a poem while taking out a pair of a classy wine glass and a bottle of wine. Pouring the pair of glass, Shen again stored the bottle.
A strong tempting fragrance swept around the whole rooftop, intoxicating both Shen and Ruyan. Even though Shen himself brewed this wine, he never tasted and left it to age properly. Who would have thought that after such time his wine could release such tempting aroma?
“Tigerbone Yang... Amplification Beauty Purification Wine...? It's quite precious, why do you have this?” Even in this strong fragrance Ruyan didn’t lose herself and simply appreciated the aroma. She suspiciously glanced at Shen. She was familiar with the effects of this wine.
After all, not all wines had the effects beautifying a woman and invigorating man's yang permanently. Although the effects were low, it was definitely something sought after. Even cultivation didn’t strengthen that part of men. She naturally felt Shen expanded great means to get his hands on this bottle of wine.
“Oh, you know this?” Shen responded with another question.
“Yes, I had the chance to taste it a few times but this seems much better than the ones I tasted before. Now tell me how did you obtain this?”
“I brewed it. It should taste much better than I thought,” Shen gulped as he felt the aroma in the atmosphere made Ruyan even more enchanting. “Hah, ...this might not be enough to get either of us drunk, but let’s indulge in this heavenly taste.”
Shen clinked his wine glass with Ruyan’s before chugging in the glass of wine.
Naturally, his action caused Ruyan to complain, “You rogue, how can you just drink such a precious wine like that?”
“Isn’t it all good? I have a lot of them. I doubt whether we can even finish what I have.”
“Don’t argue. Even if it never ends, you must appreciate it.”
“Alright, Alright. I give.”
High-quality wine was something Shen didn’t enjoy in his previous life. Nor did he, know how classy people acted. They lived in a completely different world compared to Shen’s life.
Shen filled in his glass and this time, he gently sipped and tasted the wine. Savoring every possible ounce out of it. Seeing him, Ruyan finally nodded and enjoyed her glass of wine.
“Ah, I almost forgot, what did you want to talk about?” Shen realized it will be late if he brings this topic later, hence hurriedly said.
“Mmm, I need you to participate in the Tournament of the Nine Cities—”
“Wait, stop there. While I can’t bear to disobey your wishes, isn’t it like killing a fish with a shark?”
“I know your concern but we are living here for a while and it is our duty to prosper this city. If you win in this competition some sects will put their branches here, boosting the overall power of this city.”
Shen smirked faintly, “Then, it’s fine as long as we win, right?”
“That should be right?” Ruyan tilted her head in confusion. Shen’s actions confused her greatly.
“Alright, I’ll take care of it.”
“Mm, I’ll leave it to you then.” While Yu Ruyan said that, she felt a little hot down her body. Thinking it was her own body heat, she felt embarrassed but soon she realized, the heat was not her own and a hot rod poked her pussy gate. “Shen?” she sent him a death glare.
“I can’t help it. I was controlling myself until now but now it's beyond control.” Shen looked helpless and mortified.
Shen’s word made Ruyan aware of his presence more distinguishably. A scent, different from the aroma of the wine tickled her nose, making her body hot. Due to their body being stuck with each other Shen could feel the change, causing Ruyan to embarrassed and making Shen feel breath-taken.
“...It might not be a bad idea to indulge in ourselves either, what do you say?” His hot breath tickled her ears, exciting her more than ever.
All the lust which was bottled inside her body due to his absence awakened slowly from his inciting words and seductive teasing. While her defense was slowly lowering, her head remained clear. She softly whispered in a seductive voice, “Shen, Gelou is in the villa. She might see us.”
“Let her, maybe she will join us.” Shen teased, pouring the wine in his mouth, he pressed his lips against hers.
Ruyan yelped in surprise but soon opened her mouth, gulping down the wine from her lover. Still, one-third of the wine slipped out of their lips, trickling down Ruyan’s neck and wetting her dress. It did less to nothing to stop them, maybe only making them more vigorous.
Shen slipped out of her tongue and licked her neck and went lower, tasting the wine in her skin which tasted more alluring than what he tasted a moment ago. As Shen didn’t show any signs of stopping, Ruyan’s defense already reached near nigh.
Soon, Shen took her on his arms and left to the lower floor. He tried a few times to break her last defense, she refused to do it in the open. Stopping, he could only take to his room to indulge himself in the body of his lover.
