Mistress Xiao, Xiao Shiyun, had a grim expression on her face. She was never so much frustrated as now. Her family completely foiled her plan and desires. Last night, she saw a handsome young man at the Red Maple Inn. She instantly felt attracted to that young man. She knew he was extraordinary just when her gaze fell on him.
And the members of her clan antagonized that very same person. Not only that, but he also took away her plaything, Yan QingQing. True her family lost two Martial King and eight Xiantian cultivators, and even the third Elder, who died at the leg of that young man, was her uncle, but she didn't feel sad about that. She felt pained when she learned that, that young man hated her.
She looked at the portrait of the young man in her hand. It was drawn by the most prominent artist in the Yan City. Incidentally, the artist was present in the Red Maple Inn during the incident. Of course, he sold them to Xiao Shiyun at a sky-high price, since he knew the young man offended the Xiao Clan. The portrait in the hand of Xiao Shiyun was beautiful to the point that it would instantly awaken Shen's inner narcissism to praise himself!
She couldn't help but bit her lips as she gazed at the portrait of the young man. While she was discontent at the loss of her family. She was more bitter at the loss of this young man. Recently she started losing interest in her lover, Yan Zhongfeng, and this young man made her passion burn fiercely. Lust filled her eyes as her gaze never left the portrait of Shen.
"Find him! I don't care how you will find him, but bring him here! I want him here, and ALIVE!" Even though her voice contained extreme anger, it was still melodious to people's ear. Xiao Shiyun looked to be in her mid-twenties, and her figure was beautiful beyond compare.
Her bosoms were big and perky. She had humongous bosoms with perfectly rounded tips. They were large but plump. She was a perfect woman that any man would want to bed with. If Shen were to see her, he would definitely say, "Let me have a squeeze, first!"
"...B-but young miss, he killed Third Elder in four moves. Even if we find him, what can we do against him?" A man, the survivor of that tragic event, said fearfully.
Another man walked inside the room. He looked refined and dignified and seemed about thirty years old. His gaze right now differed from the woman. He had a deep animosity in his eyes as he looked at the portrait of the young man.
"What did you get about this young man?" Yan Zhongfeng said with a deep voice. The loss this time weakened the Xiao Clan greatly. His position in the Yan Clan relied heavily on the Xiao Clan. If he lost the backing of the Xiao Clan, his current position as the successor of the Yan Clan would go to foil. Yan Zhongfeng had been under pressure to preserve his relationship with the Xiao Clan. The woman beside him was beginning to lose interest in him.
Ever since Yan Zhongfeng successfully hooked Xiao Shiyun from Xiao Clan, not only had he gained control of her body, but he had also brought out her flirtatious behavior.
She would have gone for someone else if they were bold enough to seduce her. Even so, she would still be restless. Yan Zhongfeng knew this well, but because of family matters with Xiao Clan, he would have to be patient with her.
Yan Zhongfeng was not an ambitious man. All he ever wanted was to conquer the entire Xiao Clan with his own ability so Xiao Shiyun would live to please him, not the other way around….
"Master Yan, we are searching for his information. He doesn't seem to be from any nearby countries, so it will take time for us to gather information about him," said the man from Xiao Clan.
"Do it quick!" Yan Zhongfeng ordered deeply.
"Mistress Xiao, we found out something. A cultivator saw that young man riding on a mutated Black Luan. He said he never saw a bird this fast. And from the direction he pointed, I can only say they left for the Greencloud City." A man ran inside the room and said the news in a single breath.
Xiao Shiyun thought for a moment, "All right, find anything you can about him and bring them to me..." she saw the suspicious and displeased look of Yan Zhongfeng and added, "...I'll send them to 2nd Master Xiao for taking care of him."
Xiao Shiyun turned away and returned to her room, leaving the skeptical and dissatisfied Yan Zhongfeng. What could he do other than swallowing his dissatisfaction? Not like he had command over her or anything.
Xiao Shiyun entered her room. Locking the door, she hung the portrait in front of her bed with much care, as if she was handling a delicate treasure. She leaned on the bed as she grabbed her left breast with her right hand. Her left hand naturally found the way to her pussy, which she played with on top of her dress. But in a matter of seconds, the dress felt restraining to her. She immediately threw away the restricting robe as her three fingers penetrated her pussy and her right hand squeezed her breasts with excessive strength.
She felt especially lusty today and even thought about inviting Yan Zhongfeng tonight, but she decided against it. Not only it was Yan Zhongfeng, who usually invited her to the bed, but she also didn't want to compare his lousy dick with that young man. It would completely destroy her mood.
"Shen..." a soft moan left her wet lips. She heard about the name of the young man from her family members. Although they wanted to hide some facts like the reason why Shen suddenly started his slaughter, but they had to spill out everything when she threatened to kill them.
Xiao Shiyun was the reason that the Xiao Clan made a connection with Yan Clan and became the second strongest in the Yan City. Her words were only below the Clan Head of the Xiao Clan! She was especially interested in Shen when she learned that he got angry because of his women. She didn't think she was the most beautiful in the entire world, but she had confidence in her beauty.
Being loved and cared for by such a man would be wonderful. She wanted him to spend night and days with her and pound her hard. Enough to make her unconscious. She felt she would be fine no matter how unreasonable of a request he made. The figure of the young man from last night just burned too deeply in her heart.
"Shen... Shen... SHEN!!!"
Her moans gradually grew larger as her fingers moved more fiercely. As time passed from second to minutes, she came at the end of three minutes and stared at her hand in disbelief. Even Yan Zhongfeng had to exert great effort to make her come once. Many nights he even failed to make her come, and now... now she came by fingering herself for a few minutes...
She crept in her bed as she laid there, feeling empty. While her lust didn't sate, she felt a sudden sense of clarity after the orgasm. Even if she wanted Shen, he was a capable man. Capable enough to defeat the third elder at his young age. She couldn't force herself on him. She must search for a different approach.
For this, she must find out everything about him. Like how in a war you can't fight without knowing your enemy's strength, similarly, she must learn about Shen if she wants to be with him. With this thought, she embraced the sleep that came untimely. Drifting into the worlds of dreams where she couldn't help but wander in...

While Xiao Shiyun and Yan Zhongfeng was with their own thought, Shen and girls stopped to rest in the wilderness. The sun fell for over two hours and the group had to slow down many times during flying as Yan QingQing had problem breathing. Even though Shen used a common shield to block the wind pressure, it didn't help much. Obviously, their speed efficiency dropped by half.
Shen cleared an area of twenty meters and took out five prepared tents from the Mortal Realm. After the Mortal Realm unlocked, Shen kept all the common items, excluding cooking ingredients and materials inside the Mortal Realm.
Soon, Shen started cooking and girls helped him. Of the four girls, only Mingyue Gelou and Yan QingQing could properly help him in cooking. As for the rest two, they knew nothing about cooking, so they could only stand by the side and see how Shen cooked.
After Shen served the dish, everyone eagerly sated their hunger. Everyone specifically looked at Yan QingQing while eating. There was no weird reason, it was because it would be her first time eating anything cooked by Shen. And they knew whoever ate Shen's cooking for the first time; they always had surprised and interesting expression.
Yan QingQing was surprised when she saw Shen taking out the tents and not to mention when he even started cooking. She salivated just by the fragrance. What was he? A martial artist? An Alchemist? Or a chef? She couldn't understand how could a young man like him, who only looked a few years older than her, knew so many things.
When she took the first bite from Abbeocuri, a vegetable dish and was left wide-eyed. It was just a variety of vegetable meshed together with salting and spices Shen used, other than that it looked extremely normal and impossible to imagine that such a dish produced such refined taste. She never tasted such a dish before!
Shen finished the meal casually. The taste was granted since he used his own custom made spices. He already used thyme and perillas from the Immortal Realm to make sauce, seasoning, and broth. He even separated three Thyme and Perillas to collect from them at a different time. From the first Thyme and Perilla, he collected leaves after two years inside the Immortal Realm, which is a little over seven days in the outside world. And for the next one every ten years, and for the last, he decided to pluck from them every 100 years. Not to mention with his natural cooking skills he could make something extraordinary out of common ingredients. The dishes he prepared now was bound to taste heavenly.
After the meal, the girls returned to their designated tent. Yan QingQing still remembered the taste of the dishes. There was a time in her life when she thought, why do humans have to eat. But for the first time in her life, she thought why didn't she had another belly to eat...

Inside the Immortal Realm
Shen found Kaidi meditating deeply; the plate of the Heavenly Emperor Palace was in front of her. It was unusual to see her meditate and combined with her serious expression, Shen couldn't help but stare at her blankly. Only when she released a deep sigh and opened her eyes, did he wake up from his stupor.
The eyes of Kaidi immediately fell on Shen. From the look on his face, she understood that he was staring at her for a long time. She couldn't feel it because of her meditative state.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
Shen scratched the back of his head as he sat behind her. His legs wrapped below her knees and thigh, as his hands hugged her waist. He planted a kiss on her cheek and leaned his chin on her shoulder. "Appreciating," he whispered in her ears.
Kaidi slightly moved away her face and asked again, "Appreciating what?"
"Of course, that would be your breathtaking beauty." Shen immediately replied.
"Pervert," Kaidi faked to break away from Shen's "clutch," but the beautiful curve that formed on her flawless lips didn't go unnoticed by Shen. Both of them remained silent for the next hour as they silently enjoyed each other's company. It became their habit to do it once in a while. Sometimes, after waking up from sleep or sometimes while taking a rest during his training.
"What were you doing with that?" Shen broke the silence between them as he pointed at the plate of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
After Kaidi stopped being lazy and unreasonable, Shen lifted all the restrictions he had placed for her. Even if the last person of the world betrayed him, that wouldn't be Kaidi, more like she couldn't. Her life was connected with his and forever will be. Even in his Absolute Taming Manual.
"Mmm, I was thinking if I could control the Treasure Energy from it and absorb them."
"Didn't you say, you can't control it and the absorbing process might go wrong and destroy your body? Why are you suddenly trying to do something so foolish?" Shen's voice immediately got serious and his hands on her waist tightened.
"Eh, I'm not doing such a thing. I was meditating to see if it was possible to communicate with the palace and absorb the energy slowly, but sadly I couldn't do it." Kaidi placed her hands on top Shen's. She could feel his worry but she wanted to get stronger as fast as possible. Not to mention being able to absorb the energy from this palace would increase her strength by leaps and bounds.
Shen thought for a moment. "Then how about we set up the palace on the other realm? We planned to do that anyway, let's do it now."
Kaidi nodded. It might be a good idea to try this method when the palace was on its complete form, the energy won't be concentrated in a single place and she might have the chance to absorb then.
"Let me try something before that." Shen took the plate on his hand and smiled.
His Absolute Upgrade did many wonders so far. He wondered what will happen when he upgraded the palace to +10? What change will the palace have? The size will be bigger? Or there will be some different changes? He looked forward to it as he prepared to see another item which will be upgraded to +10.
Absolute Upgrade!
Like usual, the Heavenly Emperor Palace flashed a light, but the light didn't dim down as it got increasingly brighter and brighter. Shen felt his spiritual power suddenly being sucked inside the Absolute Upgrade Rune and his eyelids got heavier as he fell on Kaidi, unconscious.
I was able to release this chapter today, though it's already 3 AM. Let's not mind the small details...
