Kapitel 74: Loss of the Su Clan

While flying through the dark sky Shen felt the changes in his body. The stagnant drop of golden blood in his heart radiated a strong vitality and life force. It constantly strengthened his heart and the blood pumped by his heart also felt a lot purer to him.

"How mystical!" Shen couldn't help but exclaim. This was, after all, just one drop of Absolute Bloodline. Not even blood essence, just a normal drop of blood. Even this single drop of bloodline felt more vigorous than his current blood essence! But–

"This is just the start. My Absolute Bloodline will only increase in quantity and quality from now on." With this, he now achieved the third layer of Absolute Physique. The increased body vitality, purer Qi. All this gave him a little peace of mind. He was getting stronger. Considering his slow cultivation method which progresses slowly, it was quite fast and with his new bloodline, it might get faster!

"Still, what's with this feeling of emptiness?" Shen sighed loudly. He couldn't be happier about his forming of the first drop of Absolute Bloodline, but this was something bound to happen. He reached increasingly closer to gain an understanding of the sword movements but at the last moment, his sudden breakthrough and the forming of blood interrupted him.

"I hope I will get another chance... hopefully soon," such a chance could be only hoped for, not found. As Shen mused about this, his gaze fell on the two unconscious damsels.

The black bird flew through the sky at a slow pace. Shen didn't need to hurry, after all, everything in the Su Clan should be already taken care of by Su Tong and Kaidi.

Shen carefully judged their appearance. They were both beautiful and identical to Su Rou, but older. Unlike Su Rou's modest bust and butt, her sisters were blessed in those areas.

Shen didn't mind them and gazed with Absolute Vision. "Hmm, they are only unconscious. There's nothing for me to do."

The bird landed on the ground, causing Shen to break out from his thought. He took the girls on his shoulders and jumped down. The atmosphere everywhere was so heavy that would make one feel suffocated. If anyone randomly looked around they would find dead bodies lying here and there.

As Shen reached the main villa some sniffing sound and muffled voices entered his ears. A bad feeling rose in his heart. He rushed inside only to be stopped, feeling a familiar sensation on top of his head.

"Kitty?" he questioned.

"Yes?" Kaidi leaned forward in her cat form, staring at his face. For a moment Shen felt his eyes looked different in color.

"Was it because of reflection in her golden eyes?" He thought.

"Is everything alright there?"

"I believe so..."

Shen subsided his nervous heart and headed inside the room.

When Shen entered the room, he became motionless. Inside the room, many people were tearing out of sadness. Kids bawled madly. He found Su Rou among them. She was hugging a woman and Wushuang tightly. He also found Mingyue Gelou and QingQing just behind them.

He felt his throat parched. What exactly did happen here? Everything he did after coming here wasn't enough?

"Su Shan! Su Mei!"

Noticing Shen, a woman shouted. Immediately all the gazes in the room gathered on Shen. As one would expect with two women on his shoulder, he definitely looked like someone suspicious. In this situation however, nobody uttered a single word.

A woman in her forties stopped in front of Shen, her eyes begged to return the girls to them. "They are just unconscious. Just let them rest for a bit, they will wake up any time." Shen said and returned the girls.

She hugged the girls with a relieved smile, "Thank you, thank you."

Returning the girls Shen looked forward. Su Rou already appeared in front of him, so did the girls. Su Rou was in tears as she looked at the eyes of Shen.

"What happened, Rou"—

Before Shen finished, Su Rou hugged him. She hugged him tight and wept silently. Shen felt she never hugged him so tight.

"Is this how it feels?" Shen wondered. His throat was burning fiercely yet his heart felt like it was dumped into cold water. He felt sick and nauseous.

Caressing her back, he whispered in her ears, "Sorry, if only"—

"Thank you, thank you..." Su Rou thanked and looked at him with her red eyes.

Shen wiped the tears on her cheeks as gently as possible, "What happened?"

"Shen..." Su Rou tried to suppress but tears began to roll down her cheeks, "Shen, Uncle Cong... he... he..."

Shen's palm reached her nape and tapped on her pressure point twice, "Sorry," he whispered in her ears.

"Xiao Rou! What happened to her?!" seeing Su Rou suddenly losing the balance of her body, a woman surprisedly cried out.

"She is alright. She is exhausted and passed out," Shen instantly made something on the spot and spoke calmly. From her appearance and bearings even in this situation, Shen concluded her identity as Su Rou's mother and Su Tong's wife. "Gelou..." he signaled Mingyue Gelou through his eyes and she took Su Rou from Shen.

The interior of the villa was in mess. Since the fight reached this place, it was expected. Most people crowded inside the villa and mourned for the dead. In the middle, there was a body which was kept different from the others.

It was a body of a middle-aged man and looked in his late forties. From the whispers and cries he heard from the sidelines, Shen understood his identity. That man was Su Rou's second uncle. He didn't have any child that's why he treated his nieces as his own child. The man always fulfilled their wishes no matter what they wished. Naturally, the Su Sister loved their uncle very dearly.

Shen backed away and followed Mingyue Gelou. It seemed Su Rou's mother tasked her to let Su Rou rest in the next room. Su Rou already introduced the others as her close friend like sisters and she was left with no other option to trust them in this situation.

Creak

"It's me!" Shen entered the room. Mingyue Gelou was vigilant and instantly attacked Shen.

Shen skillfully grabbed her wrist, stopping her punch midair. Normally he would have pulled her closer and plant a kiss on her beautiful lips but in this situation, he could only awkwardly release her wrist.

Nearing the bed, he took out a translucent green pill and upgraded it. Putting it on his mouth, he kissed the passed out Su Rou and guided her to swallow it. It was a Spirit Concentrating Pill. This pill not only increases cultivation speed but also clear one's spirit and makes them calm.

"You see, Gelou..." Shen looked a little melancholic as he gazed at the sky through the window, "This girl, although little worried, she leaned on my chest. Teased me. Kissed me sweetly. We flirted a lot. She smiled so brightly that it's still vivid in my eyes..." Shen was having trouble explaining, his voice cracked but he went on, "All, all this happened this morning... and yet. She cried so sadly hugging, with so much sadness..."

Mingyue Gelou remained silent for a long while, "It's not your fault, Shen."

"I know, Gelou. I... know but"—

Before Shen could finish he was hugged by Mingyue Gelou, "I know, I know blaming yourself might let you convince yourself, but that's not the solution, Shen. You know it for yourself."

Shen just remained silent and let her hug him because she got him correct and he had nothing to come back with it. Only after a long while he opened his mouth, "I swear, I'll make sure to annihilate Demonic Beast Sect. No, I'll make them beg for me to kill them!"

Alright before you kill me, please give me a clean death.

I'm not the best guy at loving pain.

The original draft was really... I mean more tragic than this, but in this big fight, I couldn't keep them all alive. I guess if you saw the first draft, I would have been stoned... err, in many different ways

Sorry, but this is not Japanese "Death March"

Kapitel 75: Father-in-law?!

It's been two days after the incident of the Su Clan. Shen and the girls attended in the funeral and all the formalities with Su Rou and her family. The funeral went perfectly without any ruckus or troubles.

Many people from the Association also attended the ceremony, but there was hardly any cultivators of Martial King 8th Grade and above. Among the Martial King's below 7th Grade or below, Shen spotted an amazing couple. Alas, he didn't get a chance to get acquainted with them.

Aside from that he sensed a group of people spying on Wenren Wushuang. He was perplexed, Wenren Wushuang didn't do anything flashy to attract any attention but for some people to still keeping an eye on her... He was cautious the whole time but thankfully everything ended without any big problem.

Today was the day Shen planned to return Hundred Miles City. It wasn't that he was paranoid to hurry but he must be present in front of Yu Ruyan on this new year.

Shen and Su Rou both walked side by side in the perimeter of the Su Clan. Both holding each others hands and walking as if they had no specific destination. Insects and birds filled the silent forest with their sharp noises.

Shen squeezed the palm of Su Rou on his, and said to her, "Su Rou, why not you come with me?"

"I can't and don't speak about staying... You saw enough of my pathetic side. I don't want to show anymore." Su Rou sounded a little different than before. This incident changed her whole life and she probably won't forget it for the rest of her life.

"Hey don't talk like that. I'm your friend, your lover and your life-partner. I want to see your every side and want you to know me."

At Shen's word, Su Rou only remained silent.

"I--, I'm sorry. I should have taken your family trouble more seriously. If only I did that the loss could have been way less than what happened."

"You're wrong, Shen. Originally, I kept the whole matter a secret and didn't expect it to be this severe either. You made me talk about it and made the decision to come here. You didn't only emotionally support me but also saved my father. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been be able to reach my clan in time. Who knows by the time I had any contacts my family might have been in ruins. Please know that you did more than enough and I can't ask for more." Su Rou said every words with her true feelings.

Shen remained silent for a moment before finally nodding and walking ahead.

Su Rou added, "Besides, thanks to you, our main family suffered minimal damage and every elders remained safe, except second uncle... Ah!! I'm completely fine. I already got past it and such an occurrence is pretty common in our life. I was sad that something like this happened for such an insignificant matter. If it's not for Father's fruitful encounter, this time we would have perished."

"Fruitful Encounter?" Shen revealed his confusion.

"Yes, two years ago father chanced upon a mysterious fruit which enabled him to breakthrough several realms at once! That was also the reason father had such a high cultivation base. From his initial Fourth Grade Martial King realm he achieved breakthrough to the peak of Eighth Grade Martial King!" Su Rou excitedly explained as if she already got past the previous event already.

Shen suddenly turned around and pinned her on the nearest tree, "RouRou, don't act tough in front of me. Your smile is stiff. You're averting my gaze. Do you think you can lie to me whenever you seem feel?"

"Shen, I--, I just didn't want you to worry for me"—

"Of course, I'll be worried, you idiot! You think you can stop me worrying just with your fake smile?! It only saddens me if nothing else!"

Su Rou kept gazing at his eyes. She didn't want to trouble this man any longer. Why won't he understand that? But knowing that her actions only caused him to feel sad, she realized something important. She knew that it was impossible for Shen to not involve in her matter and worries.

That was because she already belonged to him!

"But, Shen,"—

Su Rou wanted to protest again but before anything else Shen sealed her lips with his. His tongue gently touched hers as they moved in an ordered fashion. Shen's every move was gentle and light, causing a numbing sensation to spread through her brain.

"Mmm, stop..." Su Rou only muttered vocal resistance but her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer and making their kiss deeper.

Shen and Su Rou engrossed themselves in each others taste as seconds turned into minutes and they kept going at it for half an hour. Like the saying, the bigger the crack, the harder it is to fill.

When they finally stopped both of them panted for breath heavily. Su Rou literally slumped on the tree. If Shen removed his support, she would be sitting on the ground now.

Both stared at each other for a while before breaking into an understanding smile. Shen caressed her hairs and supported her. Both of them started walking towards Su Rou's villa.

"Shen, how long until you are back again?" Su Rou hugged Shen's left arm with her cleavage and sweetly said.

"Three--, no make it four months, but I'll try to keep it shorter. And there's another thing, RouRou. Although, I trust you, I still need you to promise me one thing that you will not do anything which will put you in danger. Do you accept?"

Su Rou sighed with sweet feelings in her heart, "Yes! I, Su Rou, promise with the heaven and earth as my witness"—

Shen interrupted Su Rou, "Alright, stop there. I want you to promise on my name. Not the the heaven and earth. Am I clear?"

"That's not gonna work..." Su Rou protested but stopped by Shen's 'you do it or' gaze, "I, Su Rou, pledge on the name of my lover, Shen, that I shall avoid doing anything that will put my life in danger for the next three months unless it's a matter of life and death."

"Wow, that was meticulous. Were you always that sharp?" Shen was amazed by her choice of words. She basically meant or threatened if Shen didn't return within the next three months, then she can do anything. In case anything goes wrong, she even left a back way for her. It just indicated how much she hated the idea of making a promise on Shen's name.

"I'll take it as a praise. Oh, did I tell you that your eyes are especially charming?" Su Rou laughed sweetly and pecked on Shen's cheek.

"Don't joke. Isn't my whole existence charming?"

Shen joked as they reached Su Rou's villa while flirting and kissing each others. The black bird was lazing there with Mingyue Gelou being just beside it.

"Ah, did I tell you that I am going to leave QingQing with you?"

"Huh, that's new to me..."

"Well, you know it now. Take care of her properly," Shen passed a small porcelain bottle to Su Rou, "Take this every 24 hours. It will increase your cultivation speed by a certain amount."

"Shen, is this Spirit Concentrating Pills?!" Su Rou expectantly said. As someone from the Capital of Greencloud Continent she experienced the effects of this pill. She instantly knew the pill from its color and effects described by Shen. Although it looked a little different but the effects were enough to let her forget about it. It's a shame though, you can only hope for this item and not find it.

Shen took out another bottle and passed it to her, "Yes, there's a hundred pills in your bottle but I only gave QingQing fifty. When she runs out give her this one."

"But Shen, isn't this pill precious. Like, really precious? You should keep them to yourselves."

"It's all good. I have enough for me. Just focus on getting stronger in these few months and I'll be back before you know it. Ah, please train QingQing for me, or you can also find an instructor who is good with spears." Shen suddenly neared Su Rou and whispered, "Choose a 'trusted' instructor."

"Alright, I think I have someone who matches your requirements," Su Rou nodded in understanding.

Mingyue Gelou noticed Shen and said out as if she was waiting for him, "Shen, we are already prepared, when do we depart?"

"Soon, let's meet Su Rou's parent first." just as Shen finished saying, Su Rou's father and mother came into Mingyue Gelou's vision.

Su Rou's father, Su Tong, currently had a feeble aura around him. Due to the side effect of the Incomplete Revitalizing Pill, he was no different from a mortal. Shen liked the man personally. He had two concubines other than his first wife and all of them were equally beautiful. What caused him to like this man was his two concubines, in real are twin sisters! He had nothing but respect for this man.

The woman by Su Tong's side was his wife, also Su Rou's biological mother, Qian Ron. She was beautiful and charming woman. With moderate chest and buttocks, she seemed like a reserved kind of woman, a bit similar to Su Rou. Shen dawned in realization that Su Rou got her gene's from her, so he, like an intelligent man, dropped the hope of her having a sudden growth in those areas.

"Uncle Tong, Aunt Ron, it's nice to meet you again."

Both Su Tong and Qian Ron nodded lightly.

Su Tong gazed at Shen's eyes as he determinedly spoke, "I heard that you are going back. I already know that we cannot repay for what you did for us, but still, if there's anything I can do to repay even a small part of that favor, I won't hesitate."

"Uncle Tong, please don't say such thing. I'm still weak and couldn't save the everyone..."

"Haha, don't be so hard on yourself, you have done more than enough. I have already heard everything from Xiao Rou. Don't be reserved and ask anything you wish!"

Shen thought for awhile as if he was thinking through a lot. "Since you're insisting so much I won't reject. My family is going to move here in the capital. Do you think you can arrange a big and comfortable for us." Shen paused for a moment and seeing Su Tong nodding, he let out a relieved sigh, "Since Father-in-law agreed to take care of it. I can be rest assured. I hope we will see each other in three months."

Shen jumped up on top of the black bird and Mingyue Gelou followed suit. Wenren Wushuang was already waiting on top of the bird. All three waved at the same time as the big bird flew on the sky at high speed.

Su Tong and Qian Ron was frozen in their place. Considering Su Rou inviting a man to their villa, Su Tong already expected them to have some ambiguous relationship, but still he didn't consider Shen to be so daring and their relation to progress this far. Su Rou on the other hand was already blushing hard. She cursed him silently for being so shameless and for the coming troubles...

...

A few month ago, right after Shen left Hundred Miles City

In a certain room, a young man could be seen hitting a wall with an unsatisfied and unwilling face.

"I won't back down! I, Situ Bufan, will never back down!! They were originally mine! How can I let them be taken by an outsider like that shit!!!" Situ Bufan shouted in indignation. Ever since that shameless guy started showing himself on Hundred Miles City, nothing went according to his way.

Not only did Shen snatched away his freedom, he also stole the heart of every beautiful women. Worst of all, Situ Bufan could never defeat Shen. He also had the protection of a peak Xiantian expert!

"But Young Master, we can do nothing against him. On top of that he also achieved the legendary Xiantian state." a middle-aged man respectfully said.

"I've decided I will make his life miserable. Bring out the portraits on the seventh drawer and a beast skin paper and ink." Situ Bufan ordered with a ferocious face. He was meek for long, now its time he takes his rightful position.

"As you wish, Young Master."

The man respectfully obliged the orders from Siti Bufan and presented the asked items in front of him.

Situ Bufan wrote a letter while considering many aspects, yet it didn't take long for him to finish it.

"Send this letter to Luo Pian. He is currently in the Dawning Sun City."

Luo Pian was from a branch family of Demonic Beast Clan. Due to fate he got the chance to know him once, but ever since then, they hardly had any contact. Situ Bufan however didn't doubt that he will help him, that's because Luo Pian was known as a huge womanizer.

Just a month later Luo Pian got the letter of Situ Bufan. He didn't even remember who Situ Bufan was but that didn't matter as he saw the portraits.

Those were the portraits of Yu Ruyan, Lingshuang, Wenren Wushuang, Wenren Wugou and all the beauties Shen was interested in!

Just their portraits were enough to get him hard rock, he couldn't wait to get his hands on them.

That night he couldn't sleep even after bedding three women. They were just lacking no matter how much he tried to compromise. He wanted to head for Hundred Miles City right away but there was a problem. The best among the portraits, Yu Ruyan, was a Peak Xiantian expert. If he wanted to tame her, he needed at least a Martial King's help, but if he did that the women won't be exclusive for him anymore. Still, he couldn't dominate her alone either.

"Fuck it. I will get that bitch no matter what. That Bufan kid only wants Shi Qingzheng named girl. She looks cold but I wonder how she feels at bed. Hehe, I will consider his offer if she sucks in bed."

Situ Bufan only wished to get Shi Qingzheng, he madly desired her from a long time. Although, he desired Yu Ruyan, he knew when outer help comes they will definitely not leave her and he won't be able to tame a peak Xiantian expert either. So, he decided to go for something more feasible, Shi Qingzheng.

Luo Pian grabbed his robe and headed for the nearest city. He didn't have a friend there, but he knew someone who could help him!

...

Half a month later

"Brother Zhou, what do you think of my offer?"

"Honestly speaking Brother Luo, no matter how I see it, I am in the losing end."

"Don't joke. Considering how I'm giving you all the information I should get this much advantage, no?"

"In these few days I've learnt your preferences. You like aged and experienced women. How about this, along with that Yu Ruyan, you can take Feng Wuxi. Is that satisfactory? Don't forget I'm taking a Martial King with me, I also have to take care of his needs."

"...It can't be helped then. Although I'm losing, I can only accept your offer."

Luo Pian was smug inwardly. He didn't hope this meeting to go this well. He liked mature type of women and Yu Ruyan was his top desire. Getting Feng Wuxi was plus point!

Pong Zhou on the other hand had completely different thoughts. He was a inner disciple of the Joyous Sect. He was only a few steps away from the core disciple position and only with enough contributions can he become one. Looking at the portraits given by Luo Pian, he knew exactly how to become a core disciple.

Give him Yu Ruyan and Feng Wuxi? He might be willing to let Feng Wuxi go for contribution points, but not Yu Ruyan! He never saw a woman so beautiful as Yu Ruyan! And even if got the chance to make connection with next head of the Joyous Sect, he wouldn't let go of Yu Ruyan.

As for Luo Pian, who cares about such an useless bunch. He was only worried about how to take care of that Martial King expert with him...
