Bygones

After going out, Edrick first went to have a training session with Ting Zhenniao, which consisted once again of a simple poison being injected into his body, and him having to resist its effects all the while he and the beautiful elder played wrestling on the bed, which, as of now, was actually the hardest part of the training as the toxin was still pretty weak and ineffective against his resilient constitution and superior physique.

Having relations with Ting Zhenniao was otherwise more draining, she was one fine piece of a woman and knew exactly how to drain a man of his life-giving juice, and it seemed like she was very fond of 'Balls To The Wall', it was indeed pretty unlikely that she had ever gotten to enjoy anyone's full length, so to have it be so with Anoteros's long pole must be an interesting experience.

In any case, the elder had him just lay down whilst she rode him for about two hours, only letting him go, not when the toxin was overcome, but when he filled her up with his elixir, which wasn't actually enhanced by the addictive effects and only the pleasurable side of it, not that it would work anyways, and it would be a bit out of line to try to do something of this nature on her in particular.

"Aah… Where do you even stock so much cum? You literally flood my insides with it" she said with a smile as she pulled herself off of him, an ungodly amount of gel-like white substance flowing out whilst doing so, she laid down beside Anoteros and put her hand up against his chest, paying attention to his heartbeat.

"You're handling them very well for a first-timer with toxins, even with a strong body like yours, most wouldn't be in any state to have coitus, you know?" looking down at his great club, which was definitely still capable of going for another few more rounds, Ting Zhenniao licked her lips, already looking forward to the next lesson.

"Must be your exceptional guidance, Miss Zhenniao" he responded, since coming to this world and taking possession of Zixuan Elt, she was the only woman that could truly give him a run for his money, he could take on his three wives at once for multiple rounds easily, but Ting Zhenniao actually made him feel tired after just one, he guessed that it was because she was the only one that was both actually experienced and actually had the physique to not be fragile under his strength…

Or Perhaps the Poison Sutra secretly had a whole chapter about being a beast in bed, who knew.

"Say, did Ku offer you to get to know a Xing girl?"

"She did, her great niece, Bai Xing" he responded as the woman that was probably older than he had been when he died in his previous life put her face up against his chest and began stroking his muscles.

"Bai? Been a while since I saw that little psycho, I had almost forgotten that she was about the same age as you, it's a good pick, she's not boring and very cute" Ting Zhenniao looked up at him.

"What do you think about getting to know a Zhenniao girl?"

"Is that not what I am doing right now?"

"Oh you… I am too old to call myself a girl seriously anymore, the youngster should be the ones getting together, anyways, my youngest brother has a daughter that's around your age, she's too shy to meet strangers, but when you two were little kids, you used to play together, I am sure she'll be thrilled about seeing a friend again, what do you think?" the elder winked at him.

Anoteros stared at the ceiling for a few moments, it really seemed like both Ku Xing and Ting Zhenniao wanted to partake in some matchmaking, but Edrick supposed that this was how people got married since forever, this fact had only changed in the recent times of his past life, though he wondered why they were so nonchalant about it, as it felt like marrying noble girls like them to him, who already had three wives would be a pretty bad look.

One had to assume that it meant that they truly believed in his potential and wanted to make sure he had ties with their family, though for the yellow-eyed elder to make that offer right after he came inside of her, and considering that she seemed quite serious about getting pregnant from him, remained strange nonetheless.

"Well, it won't hurt to meet her someday"

"Great! Me and Ku already spoke about it actually, we'll bring them around for this year's last tournament, it isn't anything much, but it is a good enough event to cover up the fact that we're trying to get them laid and married"

After this revelation, Edrick exited the basement and walked out into the sect, arriving just before a flight of stairs as he noticed an outer disciple walking up, it wasn't any of the ones that he had had some fun with within the sect, but still a nice sight to run into naturally like that.

The youth didn't notice him just yet, seemingly lost in thought as he rapidly ascended the steps, managing not to slip and fall despite the absentmindedness.

He almost went right past Anoteros without actually noticing him, but Edrick casually grabbed his shoulder before that could happen.

"It's been a while! Did you change something about your looks? It's like your face is missing something…"

"Huh?"

Xiao exited his little thought bubble and looked up, following the thick arm attached to the hand currently preventing him from walking any further.

The young man did not speak a single word and just visibly paled even further than what the cold was inflicting upon him, whilst his emerald-coloured ancient ghost stepped by him and took a good look at Edrick.

"Hey, look at this guy, little Xiao! That is what you call peak male physique, well-built and manly! That's how you get women in your bed- I know that it might sound mystical and impossible, but when you are attractive enough, the ladies will actually compliment and try to engage conversation with you… Incredible right?"

"Anyways, why so panicked? Do you know him from somewhere?"

'Master… It's him, that's Edrick Lucien Anoteros…'

"Ah"

"The uncouth fellow who carved his initials into your face before you got it nicely healed?" he looked the tall man up and down.

"Well, I would recommend not making any sudden movements, this guy has some advance on you in cultivation… And genetics too, also he smells like he just got finished bedding a woman, he is in peak clarity right now, unlike you who seldom even speaks with any girls!"

"Also… I can't help but notice that he seems to have a noble lineage… Are you sure about this name?"

Xiao cleared his throat and tried to act nonchalant.

"Hello… I just happened to find a ressources to heal my injuries, is all, ahah"

He failed miserably.

"Why so afraid? We are within the Myriad-Arm Sect, there is nothing to fear, right? Let bygones be bygones, I just slightly overreacted last time we met" Anoteros chuckled in a way that was not at all reassuring, and it definitely was intentional.

Removing his hand from the smaller man's shoulder, he continued :

"I still have your sword, by the way, why don't we have a nice, little bet together?"

'Hold on… I am the protagonist, I am the one who does bets with people to get out of iffy situations I would get beaten in like a dog!' Xiao just nodded along.

"Sure… What would the terms of this bet be?"

"You look pretty strong, let's meet at the upcoming tournament, and we'll see who wins then- If you win, I'll give you back your sword, you I win, you'll just have to follow me along with a little activity" he smiled.

'I can't refuse, can I?'

"This guy seems highly unpredictable, he is very good at concealing his intents and masking his thoughts, definitely dangerous- Just agree for now and try to weasel your way out of the bet later" the old master advised, and Xiao had to agree that this was probably the best course of action.

Though, he definitely wanted to get his sword back.
