Chapter 141 Lisa"s Honey
"I'm sorry, but even with all those Storage Rings, Miss won't be able to buy even one Upgrade Fragment, not to mention a hundred that you wanted."
Everything went smoothly in the Central Bank with their Identification Cards, but once the girls reached a branch of the Trade Union, they met with the wall.
"Huh? How come? Wasn't it filled with tens of Artefacts?" Lisa questioned with a frown. "You aren't trying to rip me off, right?"
She seized the Trade Union Manager with her gaze, returning back to her old Lisa who no one dared to mess with, but he wasn't fazed much.
"Miss, Trade Union is an honest organization and we are the best trusted on the Market. Rest assured, no one will ever rip you off in here," the Manager explained calmly. "To be completely honest with you, scrap is a scrap. Those Artefacts are common and don't really cost much. Upgrade Fragments are too rare."
"What's the current price of Upgrade Fragments then?" Lisa wondered, changing her approach to more polite.
Even though she had various pills, she already exposed her lack of knowledge about Heaven Realm's market. She knew Trade Union's managers very well. They were taught to give the lowest price possible, so even if her Pills were worth a lot, there was a high chance she will be ripped off.
"The price of Upgrade Fragments? If Miss asks for a pure value in credits then I will have to disappoint. We don't really exchange Upgrade Fragments with Credits. The demand is so much higher than the supply, so we treat them like treasures," the Manager informed as he glanced at Lisa's Storage Ring. "Does Miss have anything else to sell? How about high-ranked pills? High-quality pills can be exchanged for Upgrade Fragments directly."
"Hah, of course I have high-ranked Pills!" Lisa called out with a grin, finally spotting her chance. "Who do you take me for?"
Lisa smiled proudly and whipped a shiny golden pill in the air, displaying it to everyone in the lobby.
"Here!"
Although it was night, the Trade Union was only a little less busy than during the day. Both, the other Managers and their clients, looked up at Lisa's act. With how the pill shone with its own light, it could only mean the pill was high quality.
"I have lots of them too together with other types that have top-notch quality. I wouldn't be claimed the top alchemist of Trade Union if I couldn't even create a good pill," Lisa bragged with a smug, glancing at the Manager with a casual glance. "Interested?"
Seeing the shock on the Manager's face, Lisa celebrated in her mind.
'Establishing dominance, check.'
"Interested for sure!" the Manager nodded firmly as he even stood up from his chair. "Miss, why didn't you reveal you are one of Trade Union's Alchemist from the start? We would invite you to the Private Room."
The way the Manager flipped his treatment amused her, but she didn't show it, only shrugging to his question.
"I don't have time for that. I just came out from seclusion and I'm in hurry, so I didn't want to alarm my contact in the higher-ups. Usually, I sell directly to her, but as I said, I'm busy now," Lisa explained as she admired her pill. "There is no need for any special treatment. Just exchange my pills for the Upgrade Fragments like a normal customer and I will take my leave."
The Manager's eyes brightened as he nodded hurriedly. "Of course! Can I take a look at the pill?"
Just as Lisa predicted, he didn't dare to ask her for any more details as that would be considered rude. Even if she lied, he was too low ranked to ask for either her name or title.
"Sure," Lisa agreed casually, flipping the pill over the counter as if it was nothing for her.
The Manager visually paled but he managed to catch the pill, breathing a sigh of relief. He immediately began inspecting the pill on the spot with other Managers peeking at him from time to time. Too bad, no matter what he did, his helplessness only deepened.
"Do you need help?" Lisa asked happily, already expected he wouldn't recognize the Pill.
Why? She created the recipe by herself!
"Hah, yes, please. I can't help but give up. Miss' Pill is too high-ranked for me," the Manager admitted defeat with an awkward giggle.
"Don't worry. This pill definitely needs a high-ranked alchemist to appraise," Lisa assured as she glanced at the pill. "This is a Healing Pill that was born in Celestial Phoenix's flames. It will heal you from any physical wound as long as your head is not cut off and heart not ripped away."
The ecstatic feeling of watching everyone's eyes widen was something she really missed. She could only thank Bella for assisting her with Pills back in the Hidden Realm.
"Celestial Phoenix's Flames!" the Manager exclaimed, his hands shaking as he swiftly put the pill away.
He didn't even need to do anything as one of the helpers at the back immediately rushed out.
"I will call for the highest Alchemist!" he called out as he left.
Lisa pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Didn't I say I'm in hurry?" Lisa questioned while squinting her eyes. "Just exchange the pills one to one with the Upgrade Fragments. I will have a hundred."
"A hundred…" the people repeated in shock but the Manager swiftly begged.
"M-Miss! Those are Celestial Phoenix's Flames! Such a Pill is worth much more than just one Upgrade Fragment! Please wait for the highest Alchemist! We are not authorized for such trades…"
"Huh? Is it? And here I was eating them for my headache. It really worked like a charm," Lisa replied casually, making the Trade Union's Managers shake.
"Such expensive pills… For headache…"
"Anyway, he better hurry! I give you five more minutes!" Lisa scolded without much care on her face. "Also, convert those Artefacts into Credits for me. I don't want this garbage. We killed some bandits on the way, so I want to get rid of it."
"Y-Yes! One moment please!" the Manager agreed hurriedly, beginning the procedure right away.
Although she looked calm on the outside, Lisa wanted to jump in happiness. It has been a while since she acted this bossy. She finally felt like a fish in the water, entering into her favorite element.
She glanced at Yiren, who sat in the lobby with Mona on her lap, and saw her smiling. Yiren seemed to know how much she was enjoying it.
'Wait…' Lisa paused, suddenly noticing a mission board on the wall above Yiren. Seeing all the Rewards for the Alchemist's Missions, her eyes brightened.
"I changed my mind. How about you exchange those credits for some Spirit Herbs? I want to clear some missions while I'm bored waiting."
The Manager quickly attended to her.
"Of course Miss! Which mission would you like to complete? I will prepare the Spirit Herbs for Miss."
"All of them," Lisa replied casually.
"All of them?" the Manager repeated confused.
"Is that a problem? The longer you stall, the less time I have. Chop, chop," Lisa hurried.
"Yes, yes! I will prepare the Alchemy Room right away!" the Manager called out with no question asked, but Lisa stopped him.
"No need for the room. Just bring the Spirit Herbs here."
Everyone seemed too stupid to understand what she wanted to do, but the Manager acted quickly, snapping at the attendants.
"What are you standing here for? Quickly bring all the Spirit Herbs that Miss desires!"
The sudden chaos her request made was like honey to her tongue.
Sweet!
'Hehe, this is fun.'
Chapter 142 Greatest Alchemist of this Realm
"Arctic Earth Flower, Ruby Weed, Storm Moss, Dragon Soil…"
Reading all the ingredients attached to the missions made Lisa realize she should probably study more about Heaven Realm's Spirit Herbs. She didn't know more than half of the herbs listed, but that didn't discourage her.
Wasn't it the same in the Hidden Realm? There were hundreds of Spirit Herbs she has never seen before yet she still managed to create godly Pills with them. The recipes of the Mission Pills were unknown to her as well, but that wasn't a problem.
"Meh, useless," Lisa shrugged indifferently after giving them a glance and looked away from the board. "I can make my own recipes on the spot."
The confidence in her voice made everyone amazed once again. Barely any clients were exchanging their goods but instead waited curiously for the drama.
It wasn't all.
More and more people began to gather as the news spread quickly, creating a small audience that was growing with each minute. With how calm was the daily life of the Safe Zone, anything interesting was enough to gather crowds.
"Does your head still hurt?" Lisa asked Yiren, using the time she had left to even further build her status.
"I'm good. Don't worry about me," Yiren assured with a smile. "Just do your thing while we wait."
Lisa joined Yiren in petting Mona before pulling out a Golden Pill from her Storage Ring.
"Here, take one. You will feel better," Lisa suggested as she placed the pill on Yiren's palm. Although it wouldn't do much, it would at least give Yiren a short relief.
Her connection with Xuefeng was just too strong for any Pills to stop it. Too bad, the onlookers didn't know about it.
"A life-saving pill… Gone just like that…" the Manager muttered in pain.
If earlier they doubted her identity, they for sure changed her mind with how easily she handled such a high-ranked Pill. After all, she could be an old-time scammer, but one couldn't face such confidence unless their name was Xuefeng.
At that moment, multiple assistants rushed into the lobby with boxes in their arms.
"Perfect! Just in time!" the Manager called out ecstatic. "Miss! We brought the Spirit Herbs!"
Lisa walked away from Yiren as she casually glanced at the batches of herbs and pointed at the middle of the lobby.
"Just drop them here."
"Yes! If there is anything else you need, just tell me," the Manager reminded as well. "The highest alchemist will arrive shortly."
Since Alchemist who could make high-ranked Pills were so high in demand, it didn't matter what Lisa demanded, they wouldn't hesitate to comply with her demands. She already enjoyed such treatment for a while so she was used to it.
Even if she asked for a hundred Upgrade Fragments free of charge, they wouldn't mind that at all. Getting on the Alchemist's good side was Trade Union's priority.
'Staying low-key really gets you nowhere. Now I understand why Xuefeng causes chaos everywhere…' Lisa thought, opening all the boxes at the same time.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Eight lids popped open and a fresh herbal aroma filled the lobby. With just a single breath one could feel refreshed. The clients enjoyed the scene, but the Managers instantly grew pale.
"M-miss… Won't the Spirit Herbs get wasted this way…?" the Manager asked worriedly.
It was common knowledge that Spirit Herbs shouldn't be left in the open air after harvest for longer than a few minutes, or else they would slowly lose their properties. Each box was special, protecting the herbs within from going bad. An Alchemist only opened their herbs when they were fully prepared to concoct their Pills.
Lisa opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't even start her act.
"Where is she?! Lead me to her quick!" An aged voice shouted from the back, cutting her off.
Everyone followed the source and saw an angry old man with an attendant walking closely behind him.
"Highest Alchemist!"
The Managers swiftly recognized the man, bowing as he walked up to the boxes. He seized Lisa who was in the middle of checking the Spirit Herbs and immediately frowned.
"Are you mad?! Don't you know how expensive are those Spirit Herbs?! To open them up like an idiot you are simply asking to get fired! They are all ruined now!" the Highest Alchemist scolded sternly before turning to the Managers while pointing at her. "Who the hell is she and why do you let her ruin Spirit Herbs?! Did you all lose your brains?!"
The Managers froze, their faces white as paper. On the other hand, the lucky clients on the scene opened their mouths and eyes wide. The drama seemed first-class and they had first row seats!
Just like them, Lisa was also getting excited inside.
This was her moment! She could finally pull off a 'Xuefeng'!
Seeing her face darken, glaring at the Highest Alchemist's back, the Manager body shivered, threatening to pass out.
"Did you all go deaf or what? Who was the one who called me? Where is that Phoenix's Flames Pill?" the Highest Alchemist questioned domineeringly. "I failed my concocting because of this. Are you going to pay for all the losses? This better be real or—"
"Shut the fuck up!" Lisa cried out on top of her lungs, silencing the whole lobby.
No one dared to utter a single sound as they watched the Highest Alchemist turn around to face Lisa. They knew who she was, but he had no idea.
"What did you just say…?" the Highest Alchemist asked, looking like a bomb that was ready to blow up.
Lisa didn't give a crap about his status.
"I told you to shut, the fuck, up!" Lisa repeated, emphasizing each word. "Are you too old that your hearing went bad already? No one cares about your useless pills."
She flipped her blond hair coolly and whipped her arms out. Four red pills suddenly appeared in between the fingers of her hands. She squinted her eyes at the familiar Manager and ordered like a boss.
"Get this old man out of my way before I blow this place up."
Swoosh!
She flicked with her fingers, sending one of the Pills outside the open entrance and the rest was obvious.
BOOOM!!!
The floor shook from the explosion but Lisa's eyes didn't even blink, staring at the Manager this whole time.
"What? Let go of me! Who do you think you are?!" The Highest Alchemist complained as he was dragged away to the side.
This felt amazing!!!
Lisa couldn't help but smirk at the scene, but she didn't dilly-dally anymore, getting back to the boxes full of Spirit Herbs. From what she remembered, Xuefeng was always competent enough to be so high-profile and she couldn't be different, or else the consequences would be dire.
"Let's begin!" Lisa announced, pulling out a single item that shocked the crowd even more.
"A Phoenix's Feather!"
Lisa ignored the cries and channeled her Fire Qi inside the small feather. It quickly set on fire before exploding, swallowing her with a ball of flames.
"Oh!" The crowd exclaimed but the flames split up, revealing her fully untouched. She had to thank Bella for letting her take all the fallen feathers which were truly priceless.
Eight colorful flames hovered around her, acting like eight separate furnaces.
"Spirit Herbs!" Lisa called out and all Spirit Herbs lifted up from the boxes. The herbs were light enough to lift with her Qi, but that wasn't that shocking.
She was concocting eight recipes at the same time!
"Melt for me!"
Instead of throwing the Spirit Herbs one by one with a set period of time, she threw them all at the same time, letting them purify quicker. She copied this method from Xuefeng, realizing one could really pull it off if their control was perfectly coordinated.
"This is madness! You are all crazy! Everyone evacuate! She is going to blow up the whole building!" the Highest Alchemist called out in warning, no longer complaining but instead panicking.
Too bad, no one listened to him, mesmerized by the colors of the Phoenix's Flames.
"Fuck, if you all want to die, be my guest!" the Highest Alchemist finally cursed as he pushed the people away, rushing towards the exit. "No one in history can concoct like this! She is courting death!"
Some listened to his advice, following him towards the entrance. Anyone with a slight knowledge about Alchemy would know how explosive concocting could be.
"Condense!!!"
The Highest Alchemist was near the entrance doors when Lisa cried for the last time. Out of safety, he jumped forward to avoid the most damage, but instead of the explosion, cheers filled the Trade Union lobby.
Tens of pills floated around Lisa, all of them shining brightly with their own light.
"Impossible!" the Highest Alchemist shouted in disbelief, but this time no one listened to him, almost trampling him as people tried to rush back inside.
Lisa pulled out eight glass bottles and gathered all the pills, collecting them all before anyone tried to seize them.
Success!
Her heart was pounding, but she couldn't stop just yet. It was time for the finale!
She raised her hand while looking coldly at everyone, creating another silence.
"I'm Lisa, the wife of Liu Xuefeng!" Lisa bellowed. "I'm the greatest Alchemist of this Realm! Anyone who disagrees can repeat this challenge before they try to claim my title!"
Pulling out one of the bottles, she raised it in the air and announced loudly.
"As for the Pills, I will be selling them to the highest bidder! Everyone here is invited! The first bid, a thousand Upgrade Fragments for the bottle!"
Chapter 143 Motivation
Boom! Boom! Boom!
That evening in the Water Land Capital's Palace was definitely full of disturbance. Even Sir Liu didn't seem to expect such consequences after inviting Xuefeng's team to spend the night at his Palace.
"Good job Tianshi! You can finally wield two of them with ease!" Xinyu called out excitedly as the ground continued to shake.
In front of her were two large Earth Golems carrying giant Elemental Qi swords. They hacked and sliced rock pillars left and right which caused minor earthquakes each time.
Although the Training Grounds had barriers that were supposed to silence the sound, it was hard to block all the seismic waves from disturbing the neighbors. For them, it was the whole Palace which felt the explosions and ground shaking on their own skin.
"Oof! That was hard," Tianshi breathed out deeply, catching air after the intense session. Even her body was all stressed after manipulating the two Golems in battle.
"Don't worry, you are doing well," Xinyu assured happily. "In just over two hours you were able to grasp both the theory and even practice as well. Manipulating two Golems are the same time on top of Elemental Swords is something to be proud of."
"Thank you, Xinyu," Tianshi acknowledged friendly. "I think I can equip all five of my Golems with weapons. I should make it before the sun is up."
"Oof, aren't you overdoing it?" Xinyu questioned surprised. "I can feel that your body is already reaching its limits and your mind shouldn't be different. Controlling a puppet is really taxing for both, especially for a long period of time. This is not a two-minute battle. We have been doing it for two hours."
Despite Xinyu's scolding, Tianshi remained firm with a smile on her face.
"I'm here to train. I won't stop till my body is on its limits," Tianshi explained as she popped a shiny Golden Pill into her mouth. "Don't worry, I will be fine."
The pill seems to work immediately as Xinyu noticed the change on Tianshi's tired face with a naked eye. Tianshi brightened with her eyes regaining their brilliance.
"See? I'm already good to go." Tianshi proved her point by jumping a few times, causing Xinyu to be speechless.
"Sure, we can continue, but can you answer me something? Why are you pushing yourself so hard? What is your motivation?" Xinyu asked curiously.
Tianshi pursed her lips.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm doing it for Xuefeng. I would do anything for him and working hard to be strong enough to stay by his side is the least I can do," Tianshi explained as she glanced at the Palace. "Can't you see how hard he is working? If I don't increase my pace, he will escape me very quickly and I don't want to be a log he has to carry."
Xinyu followed her gaze and saw a night sky filled with Blue Qi floating into the Palace from all sides. It was still as impressive as the first time she saw it and this time it was even bigger. The size of Water Qi clouds forming around the Palace was so thick one could bath in the Qi itself.
"I'm sure he won't discard me even if I don't keep up with him. He would never," Tianshi added as she looked back at Xinyu. "But would you feel good being a weight on your lover's back who just slows him down?"
"No, I would hate it," Xinyu replied honestly.
"Then you have your answer. I can only push myself hard and he is my motivation," Tianshi concluded. "Shall we continue?"
"You opened my eyes a bit," Xinyu muttered deep in thought, before straightening her back. "Let's do it. I feel like training all night as well now."
Xinyu didn't waste time and disappeared from the spot, teleporting on one of the stone pillars.
"Let's increase the difficulty then! Since you got used to stationary objects, we can switch to moving objects!" Xinyu called out as a stone disk spawned in her hand. "I will throw stone disks at you and your task is destroying them midair. We won't stop until you can control all five Golems with their Weapons and destroy all the disk I throw at you."
Tianshi frowned at how small the disk was compared to the size of her golems but smirked right after.
"I like it! Challenge accepted!" Tianshi announced as she closed her eyes.
Rumble!
In the next seconds, a third Earth Golem broke through the ground. Her Fire Qi and Water Qi were already depleted to create the other two swords, so this time she used Lightning. Her Qi pool was too small for any fails, so she had to succeed on the first try each time.
Although Xinyu's Sword Creation Art was complicated, she already grasped it fully.
Bzzz!
The violent Lightning Sword brightened the Training Ground as her Golem gripped its five-meter blade. She felt a sting in her mind with a bit of sweat gathering on her forehead, but that was just the start.
"Come at me!"
———
"Ugh, I hate you! Let me out!"
While everyone was busy with their matters in the outside world, one of the main members of Xuefeng's Team was still locked. It wouldn't be that bad though if not for the nagging partner he was imprisoned with.
"Can you just shut up already and let me sleep?" Drakos scolded helplessly, but he knew that wouldn't work at all. He tried too many times already.
"No, I can't! I'm hungry! We didn't eat for a few days already!" the female Dragon complained while slapping her tail against the cage.
"I already told you what you can do. I can help you escape. There is no other solution," Drakos explained with a sigh. "We can't let this maniac create his machine else our whole race will be doomed. As much as the thought of being the last Dragon alive feels tempting, I can't let that happen. I should be the one who robs the Dragon Realm, not this oldie."
"Ugh, as if I can trust your technique so easily. You sound like an old scammer. I won't do it unless I'm really starving," the female Dragon grunted unhappily.
"Sure, sure, your call. I don't mind waiting," Drakos shrugged as he closed his eyes again, readying himself for a nap.
Rumble!
Too bad, a sudden earthquake messed his plans.
"Huh? Something is happening on the surface," the female Dragon noticed, but the ground shaking only intensified.
"Someone is attacking the Dwarf Kingdom perhaps," Drakos guessed when a picture of a flaming beauty appeared in his mind.
"Bella!"
He wasn't wrong.
Right above the Dwarf Kingdom, Bella's human body hovered in the sky while bombarding the whole place with colorful Fireballs.
"Let him out or die!" Bella cried out coldly, breaking inside the Drawf Kingdom's barrier to create more chaos within. "Where is he?!"
"Everyone, hide inside!" the King of Dwarfs announced by the gates as his people rushed inside. "We can't fight her in the sky!"
Bella frowned at that and swiftly shifted targets, rushing towards the entrance instead. Her move scared the King of Dwarfs enough to let out a final order.
"Close the gates!"
Thud!
The massive gate shut down before all dwarfs could reach their safety which left only one fate for them.
"Burn!" Bella shouted angrily as a sea of flames swallowed the whole outside city.
Glaring at the gate, Bella transformed into her Phoenix Form without hesitation and stormed it. Too bad, no matter how much strength or flames she used, she only melted a bit of the outer layer. Getting through such a thick gate would take her weeks.
"Let's see how long you can hide!"
Chapter 144 Do You Plan to Watch? *
"Miss, we are ready!"
Wuying lifted her head from the desk in surprise. The news she just heard was too good to be true.
"This fast?" Wuying questioned suspiciously. "Are you sure?"
They created a plan just a few days ago and everyone was ready to move this quickly? Once they returned back to the base after their successful robbery, they immediately started to plan their next big attack.
Getting a new base turned out to be the best option.
"Yes, Miss Wuying. We were already prepared for departure a long time ago. We are wanderers in nature so everyone is ready to leave at any moment," Maw affirmed firmly.
"What about the Treasures and Upgrade Fragments?"
Maw pulled out a list, placing it on the table of his old boss.
"Everything was fairly distributed and Upgrade Fragments were consumed. We have been working hard day and night as everyone rushed to Cultivate. I doubt anyone got any sleep the past two days but at least we are ready to move any time now."
Wuying nodded in approval as she gave the list a casual glance. "Well done. Order everyone to rest then. We will leave the base tomorrow morning and claim our new home the following night."
"Got it," Maw nodded but didn't leave the office yet.
"Is there anything else?" Wuying asked as she stood up, ready to leave as well.
"I have one worry. Is Miss sure about this move? Aren't we moving a bit too quick?" Maw wondered out loud. "I'm just afraid we are doing too big of a leap without earlier preparations."
"That's a valid worry. Thank you for your concerns, but we will still proceed with our plan," Wuying replied as she walked up to him. "Perform your tasks well and we will appoint you as the next Boss of this group."
"Huh?" Maw lifted his eyebrows. "Does Misses plan to leave us soon?"
"Not that soon but we can leave at any moment. This is why we are taking this risk to explode your group's growth as much as we can before we leave. I doubt you can find an opportunity bigger than this one," Wuying convinced. "Are you still hesitant?"
This time, Maw seemed much more eager but he remained calm.
"I am, but I will proceed as ordered. The main part of the plan depends solely on Four Devils, so I have faith we can do it," Maw replied as he bowed. "Thank you for your trust, Miss."
"Mhmm, dismissed."
With Maw gone, Wuying took one last look at the office before disappearing from the spot. Her invisibility came in handy as she walked through the wall and appeared in their personal bedroom.
Yi, Xiao Wen, and Princess Shan were all sitting cross-legged while holding an Upgrade Fragment in their hands. Just like everyone, they have been working hard without any sleep this whole time.
"Wuying?"
Xiao Wen was the first to open her eyes with the other two following suit. Wuying only smiled as she joined them on the bed while announcing.
"Tomorrow is the day."
———
When Tianshi's Golem smashed the last disk, her legs trembled, finally giving up under her weight. She dropped face down to the ground but thankfully, Xinyu reacted quickly, appearing right beneath to catch her.
"Well done, Tianshi," Xinyu praised, causing Tianshi to grin.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Five Golems fell to the ground before dissolving back into the earth they were made from. Tianshi felt like an empty balloon, her Soul already emptied from the Qi. If Xinyu wanted to kill her, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger.
"I did it," Tianshi announced happily, laying her chin on Xinyu's shoulder. "But I think I overdid it."
Ugh!
She grunted right after, her body feeling as if it wanted to explode at any minute. She popped another Golden Pill into her mouth, but she barely felt any effects.
Her Soul was crying in pain and no pill would help in her current state.
"No pills will work on you anymore. You already ate too many," Xinyu muttered as she hugged her, rubbing her friendly on the back. "Right now all you need is a good rest. Your Soul is overtaxed, but luckily, it shouldn't be damaged."
"Xuefeng…" Tianshi breathed out, finding it hard to even speak. "He will help…"
"Sigh, alright, let me carry you back to the Palace," Xinyu agreed helplessly and lifted her up. "Hold onto me tightly if you can."
"Mhmm…" Tianshi nodded, but she didn't really have much strength.
Earlier, she was pushing forward using her will, but once she completed her training, her will was gone. It got replaced with all the pains she has been ignoring for the last hours, drowning her altogether. Both her body and mind were the definitions of tired.
"I'm really impressed that you managed to finish your training in just four hours. I thought you are going to give up earlier but you persisted till the end. Even I can't help, but be impressed," Xinyu praised again. "You should be fine for tomorrow's finals once Xuefeng's heals you, but I'm worried about your Qi."
"Xuefeng will help…" Tianshi replied weakly.
"Is Xuefeng an answer to everything?" Xinyu asked jokingly to which Tianshi replied without hesitation.
"Yes."
Xinyu got surprised by the answer, going quiet for a moment before muttering under her breath, "Must be nice to have him around then…"
Tianshi didn't comment on that, her mind too mushy to form long sentences.
"Do you think you can stand?" Xinyu asked near the Palace, but Tianshi's legs were like gum, unable to hold her weight.
"Right… Stupid question…" Xinyu muttered to herself after Tianshi shook her head and flew straight towards the Xuefeng's room.
It wasn't hard to spot as she just had to follow the Water Qi flow.
"There he is."
The Qi flowed through one of the open balconies with all of the room's windows broken. The power of the Qi couldn't be underestimated.
Xinyu landed directly at the entrance but froze, hearing Nuwa's moans from inside.
"More! Just a bit more! Ahhh!!! Yes! I love it! Ahh!"
Xinyu was like an innocent girl who just heard something she shouldn't, not knowing what to do afterward. Tianshi ignored her, sending a short message in her mind instead.
'Xuefeng… Help… Balcony…'
A moment later, she felt her body being hugged by familiar strong arms and a warm flow of Qi filled her body. Compared to before, she felt like a Phoenix reborn from ashes.
"Tianshi, are you okay?" Xuefeng asked worriedly, but Tianshi didn't reply right away, kissing him deeply first.
"Mhmm, I'm fine," Tianshi confirmed, glancing at Nuwa who walked up to them. "Can I join you? I trained really hard."
"I would say too hard," Xuefeng commented without much scolding. "Let's go inside, so I can reward you."
He grabbed both Tianshi and Nuwa into his arms before gazing at Xinyu.
"Thank you for bringing her to me," Xuefeng acknowledged the help.
He didn't seem to care about his naked body fully exposed to her.
On the other hand, Xinyu seemed to care a lot, her face all red already as she watched his erection in shock.
Nuwa grinned at that and grasped Xuefeng's shaft, stroking him gently.
"Do you plan to stay here and watch us or…?"
Chapter 145 Lesson **
When Nuwa asked the question, Xinyu's mind got a flash of clarity as it screamed its wish.
'Yes! I want it!'
The inner sexual desires she has been suppressing since a young age to focus solely on her Cultivation resurfaced all at once. Hotness, warmth, desire to be held, kissed, and caressed all over. All those thoughts were like a spark that released her flames of passion.
'It's so big and hard…'
Xinyu's gaze was glued to Xuefeng's erection, watching carefully as Nuwa squeezed it tight and massaged while twisting randomly. To her surprise, Xuefeng didn't seem in pain but instead enjoyed her touch.
The polite and gentle Tianshi was like another person in front of him, suddenly joining Nuwa in gripping him, before cuddling into his face as if looking for attention. She managed to tilt his face and claim his lips for a passionate kiss.
'She wanted a kiss, so she took it…' Xinyu pointed out as she observed the scene.
Although her body was still affected, feeling itchy and hot all over, she regained her sharp mind after a bit of a shock. Everything was so new to her she acted like a kid who saw something for the first time.
Pa! Pa!
Xuefeng lifted his palms in the middle of their kiss and smacked the girls' butts, causing a powerful wave that shook Nuwa's naked body. Tianshi was forced to break their kiss as a cry escaped her lips.
Ah! Ah!
Xinyu even jerked on Nuwa's place but the girls simply moaned in pleasure, giggling to themselves while continuing to kiss and lick on Xuefeng's neck.
'What is going on…? He slaps them and they enjoy…?' Xinyu questioned her own knowledge of the human body. Xuefeng didn't seem like he held back his strength at all yet they didn't mind that.
'So slapping a butt feels good…?' Xinyu guessed as she tried touching her own bottom, but she didn't dare to slap herself in front of them. 'They are so shameless…'
The way Xuefeng rubbed their cheeks with his fingers sinking into their skin made Xinyu desire the same, just to experience how would it feel like. In all her years of life, she has never been touched by any man other than her father, and even he only held her when she was a kid.
Xuefeng's voice broke her train of thoughts.
"Okay, you two are just showing off right now."
She looked up and their eyesight met. This time she didn't look away, more curious than afraid or embarrassed.
"Sorry about that. They are just teasing you right now," Xuefeng apologized as he returned to Nuwa. "It seems I didn't punish you enough. Wasn't it like four hours already?"
"Hehe, I will never have enough of you," Nuwa replied with a chuckle. "But I will be fair and let Tianshi join us. She deserves some love too."
"And you, my dear," Xuefeng continued as he switched to Tianshi. "You shouldn't copy her and stay the angel you are. If you are naughty, I will have to punish you."
Tianshi's eyes brightened at that as pleaded, "Can I have both? I trained hard, so I should get a reward and I have been naughty, so you can punish me as well."
"Yes, yes, we have been naughty. Punish us both with bonus Cultivation hours," Nuwa added happily but Xuefeng only rolled his eyes, hugging them both into his chest.
'Their relationship seems fun…' Xinyu noticed, suddenly feeling jealous of them. She wasn't entirely alone, but why did she feel like she is wasting her youth?
All Xinyu did was, study, master new Arts or Cultivate. Her whole life was spent on nothing but training. Where was her fun? Where were all the cute and happy moments? Where was all the laughter and teasing she just witnessed?
"Xinyu?"
Her depressed thoughts got pushed away at the sound of his voice.
"Yes?" Xinyu replied unconsciously, forgetting what situation she was in till she saw Xuefeng's naked body again. To her surprise, she was more used to seeing it.
"Don't take anything she said to heart. Nuwa was just playing earlier," Xuefeng explained as he slowly moved back. "Anyway, thanks for bringing Tianshi back. It is late, so you should probably rest. We still need to finish Cultivating."
Water Qi was still sinking into Xuefeng's body even as they spoke but the rate slowed down compared to before.
"Mhmm," Xinyu nodded in response but as they were turning, she asked, "So I can't watch?"
Xuefeng momentarily froze as the three looked back at her.
"You want to watch us…?" Xuefeng asked in surprise.
"Didn't you propose it first?" Xinyu replied with a shrug. She pretended to be casual about it but inside she was already stressing about it.
She didn't really think much about it, only agreeing as that's what she actually wanted to do. Since she already said it, she could only move forward with the idea.
"I mean, she did… but…" Xuefeng hesitated, covering for Nuwa. "Won't you feel uncomfortable watching us?"
"I will, but I'm more curious than embarrassed. My mom already said it. I have never had a boyfriend which means I have never done anything of this sort. It would be a nice learning experience in case I found a partner one day. It is better to be prepared," Xinyu explained honestly. "Since I know no one else who can teach me, I might as well take you up on the offer."
Xuefeng glanced at Nuwa as he wanted to blame her, so Xinyu shot back at them.
"As long as you are comfortable though. I don't want you to feel bad with me watching."
"Haha," Nuwa laughed first, suddenly pulling away from Xuefeng. "I don't mind. Isn't she technically a part of the family?"
Nuwa walked up to her and dragged her inside by the hand. Even if Xuefeng had anything against it, Nuwa decided for him.
"You can watch from up close and if you have any questions, you can ask," Nuwa informed happily as she sat her on the bed.
"So what is your plan then?" Xuefeng questioned as he followed them inside, carrying Tianshi in his arms.
"Simple," Nuwa replied with a shrug as she beckoned Xuefeng to come over. "Wasn't it supposed to be a lesson for Xinyu?"
The moment he placed Tianshi on the ground, Nuwa grabbed his erection and pulled him closer while sitting next to Xinyu.
"Let's show Xinyu some basics on how to pleasure a man."
'Huh?'
Xinyu raised her eyebrows, finding the scene new. Tianshi sat down next to Nuwa while Xuefeng stood in front of them.
"Just saying, you wanted it yourself. Don't blame me later," Xuefeng reminded as he tangled his fingers in their hair.
"Sure," Nuwa agreed as she winked her and leaned over.
'W-what?!' Xinyu's mind was literally blown away. 'They are… licking it?'
Although she heard about it from Mia, she never really tried to imagine it, pushing such naughty thoughts away. Right now even if she tried to unsee it, the picture would still be vivid in her mind.
Both at the same time, Nuwa and Tianshi had their tongues out as they licked Xuefeng all over. One time at the top, licking and sucking only to slide to the bottom and wreaking havoc on his smooth balls. They both switched between the two tasks like some pros with years of experience.
'Oh!'
Seeing Nuwa suddenly suck on the tip before swallowing the whole thing inside her mouth, Xinyu clutched her neck in amazement. Xuefeng was still deep inside her when Nuwa began to move back and forth, shocking Xinyu even more.
'How?!' Xinyu exclaimed in her mind, imagining such a big thing enter into her own throat. 'And she gobbles it all the way! Wow!'
It wasn't just Nuwa. Xinyu already expected it from her but Tianshi wasn't any worse. When it was her turn, she repeated Nuwa's feat and Xuefeng even moved on his own, his mouth opening as he let out hot air.
Xinyu gripped the sheets as she leaned over to see more, but her position wasn't exactly perfect for watching.
"Ahh… That's good…" Xuefeng breathed out in pleasure, clearly enjoying. Xinyu's interest couldn't help but spike even more.
'I need to learn more!'
She took the liberty to explore the bed on her own and sat opposite Xuefeng while watching intensely. When the two joined forces again, teasing Xuefeng with just their tongues, Xinyu leaned even closer to have a better view.
Each move and act registered in her brain as if she was learning a new Spirit Art.
She was enjoying it plenty, happy she agreed to join them but then she noticed a difference. Xuefeng's erection twitched and a shiny golden liquid shot from the tip like a cannon. It was so sudden she was too late to dodge, the liquid splashing all over her face.
"Xuefeng!" Nuwa immediately scolded as she quickly sucked on the tip, only to turn to Xinyu who was frozen, not knowing how to react.
Xinyu touched the liquid, finding it slimy and warm, with a bit of sweet scent to it. Too bad, she didn't have time to investigate more as Tianshi and Nuwa stared at her like a piece of delicious meat they wanted to eat.
"W-why do you look at me like that…?"
Chapter 146 Lesson 2.Chapter 0: **
'Oh, shit…' Xuefeng cursed, realizing he just started a war. 'I'm so doomed…'
The demand for his juices within the house was out of this world and he just gave Xinyu a gigantic load. He wanted to stop them, knowing there was always more but seeing Nuwa and Tianshi's expressions, he stayed put for his own safety.
"Xinyu, don't move. This liquid is poisonous. We will slowly take it off from you, so don't move." Nuwa made up an obvious lie as they crawled up to Xinyu, but she didn't fall for it.
Right when Nuwa and Tianshi were about to grab her, Xinyu teleported behind him to hide from them.
"Xuefeng! They are trying to bully me!" Xinyu called out as she grabbed his shoulders, peeking at the girls. "I don't believe you. How can something that came out of Xuefeng be poisonous?"
Xuefeng immediately received glares from his wives, causing him to feel awkward. If he had more control within himself, nothing like this would happen.
"It's not poisonous, don't worry," Xuefeng assured as he gave his wives an apologetic smile and turned to Xinyu.
Her face was all covered in his own Golden Liquid and for some reason, Xuefeng felt really aroused by that sight. The imagine of Xinyu kneeling before him while sucking the last bits from him appeared in his mind, but he quickly pushed it away.
It wasn't the time to be dirty-minded.
"It smells nice I think," Xinyu pointed out as she scooped a bit on her finger to smell it.
"Because it is nice," Xuefeng confirmed as he held her chin. "Let me help you."
He didn't worry and gathered a big amount with his fingers, cleaning her cheek.
"Because of my Regeneration Ability, my seeds become really nutritious and have a great effect on the body, improving physique and appearance while also providing a lot of purified essences," Xuefeng explained casually. "They go crazy over it knowing its effects. That is also one reason why our Dual Cultivation is this successful."
"I see," Xinyu nodded and immediately gathered more liquid from her nose. "Let me try it then."
She didn't hesitate and sucked on her finger, causing Xuefeng to sigh.
'Damn… Once she tasted it, she won't be able to resist herself…' Xuefeng guessed and Xinyu's changing face only confirmed it.
"Oh, Heavens! This is so good!" Xinyu exclaimed with her eyes widened, gathering the rest to consume even more. "It melts in my mouth!"
"I'm glad you like it," Xuefeng smiled helplessly, turning around to give the rest to the most injured party, Tianshi.
Too bad, he couldn't even make a full turn before Xinyu stopped him, grabbing onto his arm.
"Can I have more?" Xinyu asked excitedly and didn't wait for his response, sucking on his fingers.
It felt like Deja vu, his mind already seeing this scene before. Each of his wives behaved the same the first time they tasted his Golden Liquid and before he knew, they were sucking and licking on his fingers, demanding more. It always ended up with a night of long and deep connection till they were satisfied.
'Oh no… Don't tell me she won't leave me alone anymore?' Xuefeng thought in worry as he watched Xinyu's continue till not a drop was left.
Her tongue roamed crazily, all wet and warm while she sucked, moving back and forth. She seemed to be imitating Nuwa from before, violating his two fingers sensually. He couldn't really control his preferences and he could tell he liked that enough for his erection to twitch, standing up on attention as if announcing its readiness.
Xinyu finished suddenly and looked up at him with desire, getting closer to him.
"I…" Xinyu spoke but something broke her narration.
Swoosh!
Xuefeng suddenly jolted back as if some power pulled him back. He smashed on the bed, having a soft landing but then saw two pair of eyes glare at him.
"Xuefeng! What was that? You didn't even warn us!" Nuwa scolded as she pinched his cheek.
Tianshi took a different approach, rubbing on his chest instead as she muttered, "I thought I will get my reward…"
"Oof…" Xuefeng breathed out deeply, caressing his wives' hands. "I just felt too good from the two of you. I couldn't stop myself as pleasure filled my mind."
It seemed enough for Tianshi but Nuwa squinted her eyes.
"Are you enjoying from us or the fact that Xinyu is watching you?" Nuwa asked, making him speechless.
Not because he disliked the question, but because he felt a little bit guilty. He indeed felt good from the combined tongue tease but when he noticed Xinyu's intense gaze watching him, some strange excitement filled him. He didn't mind if someone watched him, but Xinyu's passion simply turned him on.
"A little of both," Xuefeng admitted honestly, kissing their hands as an apology. "Let me make it up to you."
Although Nuwa didn't seem to mind Xinyu here, when it came to sharing, she didn't even do that with her own sisters, not even mentioning Xinyu who just came for the lesson.
Xuefeng didn't wait for their response and lifted himself while pulling Tianshi down. Their lips locked as he embraced her and dragged her onto his lap. She cooperated smoothly as she wrapped her hands around his neck, letting him strip her off her clothes.
"Are you going to Dual Cultivate now?" Xinyu questioned excitedly as she jumped on the bed again, getting more and more involved on her own accord.
Xuefeng ignored her though, his full focus on Tianshi. If he wanted to show a great example of a passionate connection, he could only give his full attention to his lover.
"Ahh…" Tianshi moaned into his ear as she slowly lowered her hips, pushing him all the way inside. It was like honey to his tongue, her hot breaths adding the spice.
"I am all yours now…" Xuefeng whispered back, hugging Tianshi close as he rubbed her bottom, pressing her down even deeper till her end tingled. "Move just as you like…"
"Mhmm," Tianshi nodded as she cuddled, claiming her overdue kisses. "I love you."
Sex was never about moving back and forth or up and down brainlessly. It was all about the special connection one had with their lover. No matter how big and long, sex without love, respect, and passion was just another exercise that meant nothing.
Men are naturally dirty and easy to please, requiring a simple manual stimulation to get erect and ready to go. In comparison, women were the complete opposite, requiring special attention. They need that feeling of love and care as well as special respect only for them.
Even if Xuefeng had multiple wives' to handle at the same time, he tried to make everyone feel special. He chose them because he loved them and showing he cares at all times did wonder.
"Yes… You are amazing…" Xuefeng praised as they kissed.
He didn't stay silent, he didn't ignore her nor did he think only of himself. A successful connection meant that both parties reached the peak of pleasure, bonding together for life.
He could feel Tianshi completely opening up to him as their surroundings didn't matter anymore. It was just him and her, connected in a heated embrace.
Naturally, in his situation, Xuefeng couldn't endlessly focus on just her.
"Ah!"
Tianshi exclaimed as Xuefeng flipped her, getting on top of her while ramming with repeated impulses. He already acted on instinct, being used to having multiple wives to handle at the same time.
Pa! Pa!
He slapped butts left and right as he pulled Nuwa for a juicy kiss but then he froze, realizing something felt different. He squeezed both butts again. One was naked, tender, and smooth, obviously belonging to Nuwa while the other had a layer of clothes.
'Fuck,' Xuefeng cursed, forgetting himself at the moment.
He finally remembered why he didn't let any other women inside his bedroom. Anything on the bed was his to grab, caress, kiss and smack. That was his castle and he was the king, claiming everything for himself.
Xuefeng quickly let go of Xinyu, realizing his mistake but she countered just as fast.
"No!" Xinyu refused as she got closer, pressing her chest against his side.
She grabbed his hand and led it back on her butt, even slipping it directly underneath her skirt.
"Xiny—" Xuefeng tried to communicate but she cut him off.
"I was wondering how does it feel before and it's not that bad…" Xinyu explained softly while looking at him with desire. "Do you mind showing me more? I want to know how does it feel to be caressed and touched by a man… I am okay if it's you."

Chapter 147 Little Puppet *
'How…? Why did I even allow this…?'
Seeing the situation he put himself in, Xuefeng couldn't help but question his morals. Was he really this easy?
He shouldn't have agreed to Xinyu's request in the first place, but watching her pleading gaze after he just smacked her butt, Xuefeng just caved in. Just as Xinyu said, she just wanted to experience what it felt like to be loved. That much wasn't really against the rules, right?
Wrong.
First, it was hugging and feeling up Xinyu's body, but it quickly escalated beyond recognition. She began losing pieces of clothing, wanting him to touch her directly skin to skin and for some reason, he just followed her wishes. Before he knew, her naked body was glued to his chest as they kissed passionately.
That wasn't all.
'How come you allow this? Aren't you even a little bit concerned?' Xuefeng questioned in his mind as he held Nuwa and Tianshi in his arms.
It was already morning with the sunlight illuminating the whole room, so they decided to finish the long session with a round of cuddles. Too bad, there was one more woman on his bed who was still hungry.
"Cough, cough."
A choking sound came from between his legs, showcasing the problem he was talking about. Xinyu was squeezing on his shaft as she trained her sucking skills on no one else but him. Although she was really bad at the start, after frequent tips from Nuwa, her tongue and lips began slowly feeling good.
Nuwa only kissed him in response and reached to pat Xinyu on the head.
"Xinyu, don't try to force it and copy us. Take it slow and get used to it. Remember how we did it? Xuefeng likes more tongue and sucking on the head. You can add some hand twister but make sure it's properly soaked in your saliva," Nuwa taught casually while rubbing on his ear. "You will get better in no time."
"Mhmm," Xinyu nodded as she returned to licking him all over. "It's actually hard to fit it so deeply in my throat. It's much bigger than I originally thought."
"Don't worry, Xuefeng actually likes when you tease him with your tongue. You will slowly learn what pleasures him the most," Nuwa explained.
"Yes!" Xinyu acknowledged and sucked strongly, causing Xuefeng's breath to quicken. She was applying Nuwa's tips really well!
Nuwa returned back to Xuefeng and pretending as if nothing happened, hugging and cuddling him with her cheek.
'Are you serious…?' Xuefeng questioned, not understanding Nuwa's motives at all. 'Is that still a lesson or are you planning something?'
'What? It's not like you fuck her, right? We only give her the bearable minimum. Can't you see how invested she is? If we can control her, we can manipulate your Master as well. Isn't that a perfect solution considering how little sacrifice we make?' Nuwa explained, kissing him repeatedly to assure him. 'Don't worry, everything is under control.'
'Better Xinyu than Miss Golden,' Tianshi added, playing with Xuefeng's hair. 'If your Master finds out you smashing his wife then we are done for. He won't care if you are together with his daughter. It would actually only intensify the problem.'
'Hey, hey, I'm not smashing anyone, okay? It was just one time and it won't repeat again,' Xuefeng disagreed firmly. 'I know what's good and what's bad. Miss Golden is the same. She won't do anything as she loves her husband so there shouldn't be any problem.'
After their finished session, Xuefeng took the time to introduce Tianshi to what happened earlier that day. Thankfully, she was much more understanding and his punishment ended after just one bite on his lips. On a side note, he actually enjoyed it.
'We trust you will do what's best for us. You know you are not alone anymore,' Tianshi explained, joining Nuwa in their gentle kisses. 'What we do now is also hard for us. Do you think we want to share you with others? It just happens you are a magnet for the ladies and since your body works like a charm, it can be used as our weapon.'
'See? Tianshi agrees with me,' Nuwa concluded. 'As I said, as long as you don't connect with anyone else, it's okay. We are not going to be mad. It's necessary for our survival.'
'Tsk, won't be mad? And who was the one who smashed me against the wall at the beginning?' Xuefeng snickered, knowing very well Nuwa said one thing but did another. 'Anyway, let's end this topic. It is too late to go back anyway. I'm going to finish soon.'
'You can give it all to Xinyu. Let's treat it like her future reward. Once she gets addicted, she will crave it and do whatever we want just to get another dose. We can turn her into our little puppet, huehue,' Nuwa commented with an internal giggle.
'Why do I feel like you are enjoying it more than me?' Xuefeng asked but he didn't get to hear the reply, a sudden knock on the door disrupting their thoughts.
"Xuefeng, are you there? There is something I want to talk about."
Everyone froze hearing Golden Queen's voice, together with Xinyu who even pulled away in fright.
"Shit…" Xuefeng cursed in low voice before shouting, "I'm here! One moment!"
He was forced to shrug his wives away and hopped to the edge of the bed while dragging Xinyu away. Too bad, it was easier said than done.
"No! I'm not done!" Xinyu called out in protest as she hugged clutched onto his waist and continued to suck him eagerly.
"Did I just hear Xinyu?" Golden Queen questioned suspiciously, causing Xuefeng to panic.
"No, no! It was my wife! Give me a moment, I'm putting on my clothes!" Xuefeng denied immediately before grabbing Xinyu's hair. "Xinyu, this is not the time for this. We can continue another time. Your mom is here."
"So what? She can wait. I want it, please. I can feel you are almost there. You already twitched in my mouth," Xinyu pleaded, looking at him with puppy eyes. The determination he saw in her made him helpless.
"Now I'm really positive that I heard my daughter," Golden Queen said convinced, making it even more complicated. "Xinyu, are you there?"
'Damn, if I don't finish soon it might be a problem,' Xuefeng thought and suddenly moved, pinning Xinyu against the edge of the bed.
She almost sulked, probably thinking Xuefeng will forcefully pull her away when he thrust forward instead.
"Mhmm!" Xinyu exclaimed right away, her eyes widening as his whole thing pierced into her throat. She gripped onto his thighs but that was just the start.
"You wanted it yourself…" Xuefeng muttered as he grabbed her hair and repeated the motion, fucking her mouth repeatedly.
Her eyes teared up but instead of pushing him away, Xinyu grasped his bottom and even helped him move. The determination in her eyes was clearly something else.
"One moment!" Xuefeng informed again, feeling he was already close.
Golden Queen didn't comment this time but he knew she was standing right outside, waiting for him.
"Ahh…" Xuefeng breathed out in pleasure as he suddenly twitched inside her and pulled out, stroking himself rapidly. "Pull out your tongue."
Although Xinyu was desperately trying to catch her breath, she still listened to him, pulling her tongue out so he could slide on top.
The first shot aimed perfectly, spreading all over her tongue till it dripped on her chin, causing her face to shine. She didn't mind that at all, quickly sucking and licking while milking the whole load into her mouth with her body shivering from just the taste alone.
It was amazing to watch how she reacted, being a complete newbie to everything.
Xuefeng made sure he let out everything before skipping away without checking on her. The more he stalled the worse it got.
With just a small towel, he rushed to the door and opened it, holding the towel with one hand.
"I'm here!" Xuefeng announced, seeing the impatient Golden Queen right outside. "Is there something I can help you with?"
Golden Queen blinked twice at him, giving his naked chest a look over. She didn't even glance into his eyes, skimming down towards his towel he held firmly. There was a natural curve around his crotch as he was still fully erect, the effects not going away for a moment even after reaching his limits.
"Miss Golden?" Xuefeng repeated, snapping her back to reality.
"Sorry, I didn't expect you to be naked," Golden Queen apologized, but she didn't pull her eyes away from him.
"Yeah… I just came out of bed. I couldn't find my clothes so I just took the very first towel I saw," Xuefeng explained. "You wanted to talk about something, right? What is it?"
"Don't mind what I said earlier..." Golden Queen muttered as she peeked through the doors in search of something. "Can I talk with my daughter? Don't bother hiding it. I know she is inside."
Chapter 148 Unique Taste *
Xuefeng scratched his head helplessly. He wasn't brave enough to reject Golden Queen after just finishing on her daughter's tongue.
"Xinyu, your mom wants to talk to you," Xuefeng called out as he turned around, but his eyes quickly widened.
He thought he bought enough time for Xinyu to dress up, but she was still in her underwear, walking towards the doors with a smile. He gave her signs with his eyes but she didn't react, skipping towards him without much worry.
"Mom, I'm here," Xinyu announced calmly as she hugged Xuefeng from behind, leaning her chin on his shoulder. "Something happened?"
Golden Queen blinked as she gazed at the two of them.
"Something happened…?" She repeated, showing a teasing smile. "I think it should be me asking this question. Why are you in Xuefeng's room this early in the morning?"
Xinyu grinned as she cuddled into Xuefeng's neck, kissing and rubbing boldly.
"Mom, you are old enough to know why. I spent the night here learning some amazing techniques," Xinyu replied as she reached to the front, rubbing against Xuefeng's erection. "Xuefeng was a good teacher. I learned a lot."
"I see…" Golden Queen muttered, watching her daughter intensely.
"Is that bad?" Xinyu asked, slipping her hands inside Xuefeng's towel. "You suggested it earlier to me and I just took your advice. I can only thank you. I have never had so much fun as today."
Xuefeng could barely keep the towel on and with Xinyu's hands roaming inside, it was getting more and more difficult. He wanted to speak up and explained what exactly happened, but recalling Nuwa's words, he remained silent while observing the situation.
"Did I say it's bad? I'm actually happy you two are getting to know each other," Golden Queen expressed. "I only worry that you two might be moving too fast, don't you think?"
"It's okay, Mom. We are both young and healthy adults. We know what's good and what's bad," Xinyu assured. "There aren't many guys who can stand on my level besides Xuefeng so why should I search for someone else? I might as well rely on him to teach me the way of Dual Cultivation. He is my father's disciple which is enough as qualifications."
Golden Queen raised her eyebrows as she turned to Xuefeng instead.
"You didn't give my daughter any love potions, did you?" she asked casually, causing Xuefeng to finally step in and pull Xinyu's hands from his towel.
"No, I didn't," Xuefeng shook his head, pulling Xinyu to the side. "She came inside my room on her own accord. I didn't force her to do anything, right?"
"Yes, I asked to come in," Xinyu confirmed eagerly, hugging his side. "I enjoyed everything we did."
"Xinyu, can you come up to me for a second?" Golden Queen broke Xinyu's flirt, but she didn't complain, walking up to her.
Golden Queen didn't say anything else and only reached to Xinyu's chest. When she lifted her finger with a bit of Xuefeng's Golden Liquid on the tip, he couldn't help but sweat a little.
"What is this?" Golden Queen asked curiously and before they could respond, she put the finger in her mouth.
"Mom, no! It's—" Xinyu tried to stop her but it was too late.
"Mhmmm?!" Golden Queen's face brightened momentarily as she tasted the liquid, her tongue moving around in her mouth.
She immediately glanced at Xuefeng as if she just realized what she ate.
"This… I probably shouldn't have done that…" Golden Queen muttered as she covered her mouth, blushing while low key panicking.
"Mom… Do you know what did you just eat?" Xinyu asked speechlessly. "It was Xuefeng's—"
"Don't say it out loud, I know," Golden Queen cut her off by covering her mouth. "Let's keep it between us, alright? If your dad learns about it then we are both doomed."
"Mhmm," Xinyu nodded immediately.
'Fuck…' Xuefeng cursed at the scene, wanting to facepalm himself. 'Did she do it on purpose?'
He couldn't believe Golden Queen would make such a mistake. Just as he expected, Golden Queen swiftly returned back to normal as if nothing happened.
"Anyway, get dressed and prepare for breakfast. Your dad wanted to eat together," Golden Queen informed before looking at Xuefeng. "You all are invited as well if you want to join us."
"I think we are good. I didn't sleep at all tonight so I want to rest a bit before the tournament starts," Xuefeng rejected politely, knowing how awkward it would be. "Thank you for the offer though."
"Alright." Golden Queen didn't pressure him, actually looking relieved at his answer.
"Xuefeng," Xinyu called out his name as she suddenly jumped on him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Thank you for today's lesson. I can't wait for the next one."
She didn't let him answer before their lips locked in a deep kiss. She wasn't at all embarrassed in front of her mother, but he wasn't exactly normal. His towel already dropped to the ground as he caught her on instinct, making him poke her directly in the stomach.
He already decided not to do anything with Golden Queen so showing himself naked only made it worse.
"Wait, don't go," Xuefeng hugged Xinyu just as she tried to pull away, surprising her.
"Why…?" Xinyu asked confused, but he only grasped her bottom affectionately. "Can't I just hug you a little more? You said you didn't mind it."
His words caused her lips to curve, showing a genuine smile. He knew he might regret it later but it was better than enticing Golden Queen more.
"I don't mind it…" Xinyu replied as she tightened her hug. "I actually like it…"
"Mhmm, me too," Xuefeng agreed and looked up at Golden Queen. "Miss Golden, we will see each other later on the Tournament then. Enjoy your meal."
She squinted her eyes but understood his hidden message.
"Sure, you too enjoy," Golden Queen wished and reminded right before disappearing. "Don't forget about our session later."
With her gone, only he and Xinyu remained, still clinging to each other. He could feel her heart beat at an increased pace which made him worried.
"Mhmm… It feels nice," Xinyu commented. "I might get addicted to this… Can I get more if I do?"
"Well, if it's just this much then it should be okay," Xuefeng agreed hesitantly but that was enough for her.
She pulled away on her own and give him a goodbye kiss.
"I will count on you then, teacher."
———
"Wow… How did you convince the guard to let us in? Weren't all tickets sold out already?" Jiao questioned as they passed the gates of the Arena.
They have been traveling all night to reach the Tournament in time but all she wanted was to watch from outside. Who would have thought that Dandan would find a way to bring them inside. She couldn't help but shiver from excitement.
"Hehe, don't ask questions. Just enjoy," Dandan played it cool as she remained mysterious. "I only made them let us in. It's not like we are going to have any seats. We might need to stand on the stairs instead."
The whole arena was already booming with cheers as they found no one in the Arena Lobby. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the start of the Finals.
"It's alright, I don't mind," Jiao replied happily. "As long as I can see him from the distance, I will be satisfied."
"You don't want to meet him in person?" Dandan questioned surprised. "How are you feeling?"
Jiao shrugged. "I'm good. I thought it will be worse but maybe it's cause I don't really expect to meet him. I just want to see if he is doing alright…"
She had a lot of time to figure out her plan but the more she thought, the more she realized how behind she was. Unless she improved, there was simply no point in meeting him.
"Then that's fine. You are going to see him now," Dandan said as she pulled her through the entrance.
They already heard the crowd shouting someone's name but only when the sunlight fell on their faces and the arena displayed in front of them were they able to discern the name.
"Xuefeng! Xuefeng! Xuefeng!"
It was him! They were calling for him!
Just from hearing his name, Jiao's heartbeat launched to its limits as she searched through the arena in panic. Too bad, no matter how much she searched, she couldn't find him.
There were one hundred and twenty-six people standing in the middle of the dusty Arena but she couldn't spot Xuefeng and Tianshi anywhere. Before she could figure out what happened, the voice of a Commentator disturbed her thoughts.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! This is the moment everyone has been waiting for! Let's invite to the stage, the one and only power couple! His beautiful wife, Xiao Tianshi, and the man himself, LIU XUEFENG!"

"Ugh, this queue… We need to hurry up and figure out something to skip it…"
Seeing the long queue ahead of them that was not moving at all, Lisa couldn't help but start to lose her patience.
"If we don't do anything, we will be late for the Tournament," she added frustrated.
"I know… It should be starting right now and we are still stuck in this City…" Yiren whispered back, also upset at the outcome.
They woke up early after they gathered an insane amount of Upgrade Fragments yesterday night and queued up to the Teleportation Station. Too bad, they didn't expect even the special queue would take this long. Apparently, there was a sudden break of the Station as it was being used by the City Officials to transfer goods.
Even if they were important personalities, they had to wait like everyone else. They even asked nicely, knowing how important it was to reach Water Land Capital on time but nothing could be done. In front of them were many elites with the same problem.
Yiren glanced at the blocked entrance to the Teleportation Station and finally snapped.
"Lisa, let's go," Yiren commanded, her expression turning cold. "We need to get to Xuefeng before the Finals starts. I will do whatever it takes."
"What do you want to do?" Lisa asked curiously as she followed her but Yiren remained mysterious.
"Sometimes being nice doesn't work. I hate it."
Yiren walked past everyone, straight towards the entrance while ignoring everyone completely. She only had one goal and that was meeting Xuefeng again. If she decided on something, no one could stop her.
"Miss, Teleportation Station is still busy. We will resume in about fifteen minutes, so please be patient," the City Guard informed as he saw her coming again but this time Yiren didn't stop walking.
"Do you think I care?" Yiren asked back indifferently without even looking at him.
The two City Guards at the entrance sharpened their expressions, immediately blocking their way.
"Miss, stop right there. Please don't make trouble. We are just following an order," the City Guards tried to reason with her but there wasn't anyone who could argue with her at that moment. She was going to meet Xuefeng no matter what.
"If you block my way, you will die," Yiren announced, walking steadily into them. One could tell she wasn't joking as her face didn't change one bit, gazing at them without any expression.
Unfortunately for her, they weren't that easily scared off and they pulled out their weapons instead, two shiny spears aimed at her face.
"Miss! If you come any closer, we will be forced to attack— Ahh!!!"
The City Guard warned her but he suddenly screamed, his leg breaking in half. He dropped to the floor with his face twisting in pain.
"If you block my way, you will die," Yiren repeated. This time the City Guard wasn't as brave as before.
"Miss… What you are doing will not bring you any good," City Guard muttered as he moved to the side but Yiren ignored him.
There will be more who tell her the same.
"Whoa… That was so cool!" Lisa called out as they entered the building. "You remind me of Nuwa now."
"I'm always kind to everyone but it seems not everyone deserves my kindness. I will only be nice to those who appreciate it," Yiren said firmly.
They walked inside the Teleportation Station and just as she thought, multiple City Guards were already waiting for them with their weapons out. Behind them were stacks of boxes that waited to be transferred.
"At least they didn't lie…" Lisa commented as the City Guards slowly surrounded them.
"You two are under arrest for attacking the City Guard! Reinforcements are close by! You can't escape so you better surrender!" The Captain of the City Guards ordered sternly.
Yiren didn't even react to his words, gazing at Lisa instead.
"Can you operate this Teleport Array?"
She didn't trust the City Guards in sending them anywhere so they had to serve themselves.
"I should be able to," Lisa expressed as she gave the platform a glance. "It doesn't look that complicated."
"Alright, let's do it," Yiren decided immediately, walking up towards the platform without much care.
The City Guard Captain was naturally pissed off at being ignored and ordered angrily, "If she walks up any further, attack!"
"Don't bluff me," Yiren called out coldly right after. "Do you think we are stupid? Once we start battling, this whole place will turn into ruins, and Teleportation Station will be no more. I wonder who they will blame for that later. The ones who barged in or the City Guards who are responsible for the order."
She shrugged, leaving the answer to the Captain, and stepped on the platform. The City Guards were ready to launch their attacks but the Captain suddenly raised his hands, calling out in panic, "Stop!"
Lisa grinned at how Yiren handled it and threw a small bag on the floor as she passed the Captain.
Thud.
The bag fell hard and tens of Upgrade Fragments spilled all over the floor, right beside the City Guards' feet.
"Good choice. Act as we never came here and you can split those Upgrade Fragments afterward."
The Captain and his subordinates were dumbstruck but for Lisa, that wasn't much. The number of Pills she had sold on her Auction was enough for their training with many leftovers to spend as she wished.
"Captain, we have been working hard lately. I think we deserve a bonus," the City Guards suggested with the simple meaning behind it.
We want money!
Lisa only shrugged and walked up to the array, not planning on picking up the bag even if they didn't take it. There were hundreds of them laying in her Storage Ring.
The Teleportation Array turned out to be simpler than what they thought and she set it up in no time. The Platform lit up and they held their hands together, ready to teleport.
Too bad the long-ranged Teleport wasn't as easy and pleasant.
"Ugh…"
Both of them grunted on the other side, their stomachs twisting inside of them. Compared to them, Mona was chilling as she still sat on Yiren's shoulder.
"Welcome to Blood Land Capital. Please drink some water, you will feel better."
They immediately heard greetings from the polite City Guards but their smiles disappeared at Yiren's next words.
"We are not done traveling. Can you please send us to the Water Land Capital?"
"Miss, are you sure?" The City Guard asked surprised. "Also, it's not possible to Teleport directly to the Water Land Capital. It's too far from here. No one would survive such travel. We can at most send you to the Spirit Land and only from there can you transfer to Water Land."
"Let's do it," Lisa quickly agreed, passing three Upgrade Fragments as a fee.
The City Guard could only nod, setting up the Teleportation Array just as she wished.
The second time was even worse.
"Bleeeh!"
The girls returned the breakfast they had earlier directly on the Platform.
"Welcom— Oh maaaaaaan! I just cleaned!" Someone complained from behind her but Yiren was temporarily too weak to lift her head. "Are you two okay?"
Lisa didn't hesitate and passed Yiren one of the healing pills. They both knew they needed to Teleport one more time which would put a lot of pressure on their bodies.
"We are good…" Yiren replied after the pill began to work and wiped her lips. "Are you okay Lisa?"
"Mhmm, we can continue," Lisa nodded, pulling out another three Upgrade Fragments. "Please send us to Water Land Capital."
"Oof! In this condition? Misses, we can't allow that…" the City Guard muttered, trying to convince her. "How about you rest a bit first?"
"I said we are good," Yiren replied simply, standing straight again. "We are the Clients here so don't ask questions."
Seeing her gaze, he could only comply with her request.
The third time… was the worse thing the girls had felt in their lives.
"Fuck! Those two girls fell unconscious! Someone come help me!"
Yiren heard multiple voices and yells all mushing together as her mind begged to explode. She had never had such a strong headache. She couldn't even open her eyes to see her surroundings but she felt the coldness of the floor.
Xuefeng!
A single thought of him snapped her eyes open despite the immense pain. She saw Lisa laying right next to her with similar symptoms and Mona who defended them against the City Guards, pushing them away till they get better.
They made it alive. Only that mattered.
'Xuefeng, we are coming to you... Wait for us..."

Chapter 150 Wifey"s Arrival
"I think we became world-class celebrities at this point."
Standing on top of a giant white eagle, Xuefeng couldn't help but comment, hearing all the cheers directed at them. It felt like this Tournament was his personal show with the finals being just a show.
They already went through a live interview at the start of the Finals and even let him speak, wishing all of his opponent's lots of strength to fight him. It was of course all staged as he was informed what the question would be about beforehand.
"Don't talk, just wave," Tianshi said calmly as she rubbed his side. "You now have a lot of fans so you have to suffer a little."
"Let's give them a satisfactory performance then," Xuefeng replied as he embraced her, giving her a passionate kiss as they descended to the arena.
They were naturally displayed on the screens for everyone gathered and the crowd immediately cheered for them.
"Wait…" Xuefeng suddenly paused, pulling away in shock.
His bracelet just vibrated!
He swiftly touched the stones on his arm and found two that were still eagerly vibrating. Once, twice, thrice. Three times indicated they were still far away from him but they were here! In the Water Land Capital!
'Who is it?' Tianshi questioned, noticing his strange behavior.
'Lisa and Yiren, they are here,' Xuefeng replied full of smiles and swiftly looked around the Arena but obviously, he knew there was no way she would be there.
'Good!' Tianshi hugged him excitedly. 'They are smart. They probably saw us on the broadcast and found their way here. They should meet with us soon.'
'Shall we go to meet now?' Xuefeng asked as his body beamed with joy but Tianshi stopped him.
'We can't leave the Tournament right before the final round. Calm down, they wouldn't want that either. Let's just focus on our tasks and meet them later. They are safe in the Capital,' Tianshi assured.
'Ah… I know, I know. I just want to meet them as soon as possible,' Xuefeng sighed, his face filling with determination. 'Let's finish this fast.'
'Yes. Will just call Nuwa and tell her about the girls. Maybe they can find them,' Tianshi suggested before they heard the Commentator's announcement.
"With Xuefeng and Tianshi on the stage, all Participants have now arrived. Everyone! It is time to start the Finals! Sir Liu, take it away!"
Compared to yesterday, all the stages were already cleared, replaced with one big stage with nothing but dust. The hundred-plus participants stood on the same spot as if they were part of some group while the Xuefeng and Tianshi were alone, directly opposite to them.
They received sharp glances from all of them, indicating one clear sign. It definitely wouldn't be a one versus one battle as everyone was bound to target them.
Glancing at Sir Liu, Xuefeng only nodded, remembering the warning he got from him before he arrived. The rules of the Finals were definitely against them so they had to be careful.
"Greetings everyone! I'm sure you didn't come here to listen to me so I will make it short. You all gathered here for one thing and that is the extreme action and heated battles between the top talents of our Water Land. I will make sure you receive just that!" Sir Liu promised, his voice spreading across the arena.
He glanced at the Participants and continued, "To our young Experts, I can only wish you all good luck and a bountiful harvest. Let the best win!"
"Don't worry Sir Liu, I will finish them quick and painless," Xuefeng called out right after, bringing out another cheer of his name and glares from his enemies. They were already heavily against him so it didn't hurt to instigate them even further.
"Hah, talking about that, let me mention you the rules of today's Finals," Sir Liu began with a chuckle. "Just as always, there are no rules and restrictions to the usage of power but we added a few improvements."
As he finished, a hundred and twenty-eight of small tokens flew out of his sleeve. They all headed one each to every Participants. When it landed on Xuefeng's palm, Sir Liu explained further.
"Those black tokens are the Teleportation Artefacts. If you know you are about to die and can't handle your opponent, just crush the token and it will teleport you safely back to the waiting lobby."
He gave them a second to familiarize themselves with the Tokens before he added, "The rules of the Finals are simple. The last one standing wins. Everyone against everyone. If you want to fight in groups and later battle it out, it is definitely allowed. For now though, I want you to channel Spirit Qi into your Token so it can teleport you into your assigned spot on the arena. Once you get there, you will be locked in place till the battle started."
"Everything clear?"
Everyone nodded their heads in understanding beside Xuefeng who was looking down at his bracelet.
It buzzed again!
The two crystals buzzed twice, indicating that they were only ten kilometers away from them. It was really close! How fast were they flying to reach them so soon?!
The Participants began teleporting away while Xuefeng didn't even hear Sir Liu's explanation, his mind fully focused on Yiren and Lisa.
They were coming to meet him!
"Xuefeng?" Sir Liu questioned and Tianshi finally shook his shoulder, snapping his back to reality.
"Yes?" Xuefeng asked innocently only to realize everyone was gone already, spread throughout the arena. "What's going on?"
"We are supposed to channel our Spirit Qi into the Tokens to Teleport with it," Tianshi explained out loud before sending him a message in his mind. 'Is everything alright?'
'Yes, yes, just that Yiren and Lisa are coming here. They are already close," Xuefeng replied excitedly, hating the time the Tournament started. If it was just a bit later, he could enjoy his reunion right now.
'Focus for now. Let's win this fast and meet them,' Tianshi reminded as she held his face. 'We are two versus a hundred plus experts. We cannot afford any mistake. Do it for me and let's focus on the current task.'
Xuefeng took a deep breath in and nodded. She was right. They were both in danger and he still only thought about his wives. Too bad, he just couldn't help it, his love for them too overwhelming.
'What's the plan?' Tianshi questioned as she gave him a deep good luck kiss.
'How about we quickly find each other, group up, and kill them all?' Xuefeng proposed to which Tianshi couldn't help but laugh.
'Hah, sounds like a good plan. See you later then.'
She grasped the Token and suddenly vanished, appearing on the other side of the Arena, right by the edge. It was quite a bad spot but he didn't worry. Seeing Tianshi proceed without much worry, he trusted she could survive till he came for her rescue.
Xuefeng followed Tianshi's words and activated the token as well. To his surprise, he teleported right in the middle of the Arena. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but at least he got closer to Tianshi so he didn't mind that.
He thought they would be fighting just like this, in the middle of the open space, but Sir Liu saved him some trouble.
"And now, to make it more interesting, let's add some background," Sir Liu announced before he raised his arms in the air. "Arise!"
Rumble!
The ground began to shake as if the earthquake hit the arena causing small cracks everywhere. To Xuefeng's surprise, small plants spurted out and grew beyond their normal speed of growth.
Small spurts became trees within seconds, turning the whole Arena into one big jungle! On top of that, he couldn't even feel his surroundings as his Spirit Awareness didn't reach far, somehow restricted.
"Interesting. This is going to be fun," Xuefeng muttered to himself as he took a deep breath, preparing to rush out immediately. His wings were already ready to burst from his back.
"Once the countdown drops to zero, the Finals will begin. Is everyone ready?!" the Commentator finally returned back to his job. "Please, count down with me!"
Xuefeng was ready to count as well, when his bracelet buzzed again, throwing him out of the loop again.
One buzz meant they were just one kilometer away! They must be inside the Arena right now!
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
"Six!"
"Fiv— What? Who are they?"
The Commentator suddenly stopped counting as he heard a sudden disturbance. He didn't need to wait for more to figure out what it was.
"XUEFEEEEEEEEEENG!!!"
The sweet voice he would never forget hit him straight in the heart.
It was Yiren! She came!
He didn't hesitate and struggled to break off the token's restriction. Only with Ming's help was he able to break himself free and he immediately launched himself in the air. He broke through the trees like a rocket and saw hundreds of Guards already in the air, chasing two beautiful blond girls who flew straight at him.
Thud!
They smashed against each other, crashing into the ground right after but there were no pains or complaints in their voices.
"Xuefeng!!!"
