Chapter 191 Secret
"Huh?" Xuefeng widened his eyes. "You want to tell me that Pearl was—"
"That's right," Katherine nodded before he finished. "She was the one he entered the Dragon Realm for. Unfortunately, her parents had different plans, already planning to marry her off to another influential Dragon to continue their lineage."
"How did you two end up together then?" Xuefeng wondered curiously.
"Shh, I'm not done with the story," Katherine shushed him by kissing him once again, getting him used to being kissed. "Naturally, he didn't accept that and tried his hardest to convince her parents but nothing worked. In the end, the two loved each other so much they even tried to escape together."
"Let me guess, they got caught," Xuefeng commented.
"Yeah, they did and Pearl got taken away by her parents while Liu was chased away from the Dragon Realm. Going back to your question, I met him here in the Heaven Realm and I didn't know anything that happened between him and Pearl. I only learned about it by accident when I mentioned him to my family. They were also dissatisfied with my decision but I am too strong for them to decide how I live my life," Katherine explained casually.
"What did he say when you confronted him?"
Xuefeng's question made Katherine smile.
"You already know me well, huh?" she teased him by rubbing their noses together. "He promised me that he already moved on and that I'm the only one in his heart. Of course, I believed him at that time but looking at how he reacted on the call when he heard Pearl's voice, I'm not so sure about that anymore."
"He indeed changed his tone when he learned it was Pearl that we saved…" Xuefeng noticed, recalling the call they had earlier. Sect Master Liu immediately changed his tone as if he was worried about her.
"Mhmm, that's why I agreed to Pearl's request," Katherine muttered softly. "She wants Liu back and I gave her free hand to do whatever she wants."
"So you decided to end your relationship just like that?" Xuefeng questioned but he wasn't surprised. Hearing the whole story, he would also do the same in her place.
"That's right. You said it yourself. I deserve to be happy. Why wouldn't I chase after someone who makes me happy instead of being stuck with someone who doesn't care about me at all?" Katherine asked back, caressing his cheek in joy. "On the side note, I feel really good right now. I don't think I can live without our sessions anymore."
"How do I make you happy? I didn't even do anything," Xuefeng pointed out, being completely passive this whole time.
"It doesn't matter what you did. Just your presence alone is enough to make me happy," Katherine confessed as she reached down on his chest, heading towards his lower belly. "Also, we can always change the former…"
"No," Xuefeng rejected immediately, catching her wrist before it reached its target. "As of now, you are still married. We are already overstepping our boundaries."
Xuefeng released her hand and pushed her aside, adding, "The session is over. We only need one more and your Curse will be gone."
"You didn't enjoy cuddling and kissing me?" Katherine asked alluringly as she grabbed his arm, not letting him get away. "I could feel your body shiver when I rubbed your ears."
She looked down at his crotch and winked, "Your soldier is standing on attention as well. He seemed like he enjoyed me plenty."
"Of course I enjoyed it, you are beautiful, but that doesn't change anything. First be single before you even try anything with me," Xuefeng expressed firmly. "I'm not going to risk your husband's revenge on me for stealing his wife."
"How about I cancel our marriage then?" Katherine proposed playfully. "I can say I love you instead which will force you two to fight in a life and death duel. All you need is defeat him and I will be yours."
Xuefeng glared at her, turning serious, but she changed her plan right away.
"I'm joking of course. Don't worry, I won't let you share any consequences. You don't really need to do anything. I will only court you when I'm single," Katherine assured as she rubbed his arm before releasing him. "I'm sure my husband will cheat on me with Pearl tonight. I will be able to break up with him on the spot."
"That's a big if. What if he stays loyal to you?" Xuefeng asked as he put on his clothes. "I don't like this talk. We can talk when something actually happens. Don't speculate and plan ahead. Love is not a game. It's a lifelong adventure with many up and downs."
He gave her one last look and left, throwing one last advice.
"Think about all the good moments you had together and ask yourself if its worth giving it all up."
When he left, Katherine fell on the bed and muttered, "A few moments with you are worth more than a hundred of his… At least I don't need to pretend I'm happy…"
She stood up with a sigh and wore her clothes as well while staring at the door.
Knock, knock.
"Come in," Katherine called out as if she was expecting someone already.
It wasn't even a minute after Xuefeng left that Pearl came in.
"How was it?" the dark-haired beauty asked on the spot.
"He is neutral to me since I'm married, but I'm sure I can court him successfully if my husband is no longer in the picture," Katherine replied casually, not looking worried at all.
"Wow. So you told him everything and decided to go all out," Pearl said amazed. "I wish I had your level of confidence back then. If only I confronted my parents as you did, none of this would have happened."
"I'm glad it did," Katherine countered with a shrug. "If I didn't go through all of it, I don't think I would even consider being with someone who has so many wives. Now I don't mind it at all."
Katherine gazed at Pearl and asked seriously, "Why do you still want Liu when you know how he really is?"
"Heh, you see, I'm different. I actually like the freedom," Pearl replied with a giggle. "Also, I think he loves me more than you. I can wrap him around my finger and make him do what I want."
"Tsk, get out," Katherine sneered, showing her way out. Just because they made a deal doesn't mean she liked her.
"Wait, I have one more question. How did you make his Bloodline react to you? I thought it's based on feelings," Pearl asked curiously, but Katherine only smirked.
"It's a secret."
Chapter 192 Shooting Her Shot
"Aww, baby. We are done chatting already. I will focus only on you," Wu said softly as she caressed his hair. "How was the session with Miss Golden today?"
"Well, a bit more complicated than usual but I somehow came out alive," Xuefeng replied as he cuddled into Wu's thighs. "She has feelings for me so it's been quite hard to resist her. Also, her name is Katherine."
When he entered their room, he noticed the girls were still laying on the bed while gossiping so he didn't disturb her. Gazing at Wu's legs, he immediately buried his face in them.
"Oh!" Wu exclaimed, giving Bella a gossipy glance. "What do you plan to do with it?"
"Nothing. For now, I will just wait and see what happens," Xuefeng responded with a shrug. "Apparently Pearl wants Sect Master Liu for herself and Katherine agreed to it. She wants to be free and single to chase after me."
"I kind of want to see Drakos face when he hears that the woman he wanted to save so much—" Bella commented but she stopped herself midway. "Actually, I don't. I don't want to see his face. You two can continue."
"What is your reaction to that?" Wu asked curiously, giving his ears a little massage.
"Ahh… Feels good," Xuefeng moaned as he kissed her inner thigh. "I don't really know honestly. For some reason, my bloodline reacts when she touches me, so I guess we are compatible with each other. But she is still married to someone else so I don't even consider her."
"That's good. I was worried you would like the idea of stealing someone's wife," Wu nodded in approval, leaning down to give him a kiss.
"No, I hate this idea. That's why I am indifferent right now," Xuefeng commented. "But I'm not going to lie, the Heat of the Dragon is interesting."
"The Heat of the Dragon?" Wu and Bella repeated at the same time.
"Yeah, apparently if you connect with a Female Dragon, she can pass you the Heat of a Dragon, temporarily sharing her bloodline with you. It improves your physique and boosts your endurance. In connection to my Titan and Elvish Bloodline plus Ming's blessing, I don't think anyone would be to break through my defenses," Xuefeng explained, tempted just from imagining it.
"I see," Wu muttered as she turned to Bella. "Have you heard of it?"
"No, I didn't, but that made me think of something…" Bella replied deep in thought. "If female Dragons can share part of their Bloodline, do you think a Phoenix can as well? Have you ever heard of a pair between human and a Phoenix?"
'From my knowledge, I don't think it ever happened. Phoenixes are used to being lone Beasts who don't connect in pairs since they don't have the need to. They can have descendants without copulation,' Ming informed on the spot which he repeated right after.
"But what if a Phoenix breaks the rules and gives her body to a man? Maybe I can really share my Bloodline this way," Bella wondered out loud.
"That's an interesting question… Since no one has ever tried it, you won't get your answer until you try," Xuefeng muttered logically, not expecting Bella to blush heavily.
"You mean… You want to try with me…?" Bella asked as she covered her face with a hand.
"No, wait, I didn't necessarily mean me but rather in general," Xuefeng corrected himself as he stood up from the comfort of Wu's thighs. "It can be anyone. If there is a man you love and find attractive, he can help you."
Bella uncovered her face while looking down and then back up at him. She eyed him with a curious gaze and commented, "But you are the only man out there that I find attractive. I also know you take good care of your women so I'm sure it wouldn't be a bad experience. If it's not you, I don't think I can try it with anyone else."
Xuefeng's eyes widened immediately but Bella added right after, "Unless you don't want to help me… It's fine if you don't find me pretty… You can be honest with me, I won't be hurt."
"Bella, of course, I find you attractive. You are a beautiful woman and I would love to help you," Xuefeng assured softly as he grabbed her hand. "It's just—"
"Perfect~" Bella cut him off with a bright smile on her face. "I was worried you wouldn't accept but I'm glad you did. I'm actually really curious since I don't think anyone from my race thought of that. Hope you take good care of me. Anyway, it doesn't have to be tonight. Wu has been waiting a long time for you and I'm not this selfish."
Xuefeng opened his mouth, wanting to speak up, but was disturbed yet again as Wu threw herself in Bella's arms.
"Ah! Bella! Well done! You finally shoot your shot!" Wu congratulated happily. "We have been waiting for this day a long time. Glad you finally decided."
She hugged Bella's head protectively and turned to Xuefeng while rubbing his with her feet.
"You know, Bella is our sister so we accept her fully. We have been wondering when you will lay your hands on her innocence but you were surprisingly resistant," Wu informed playfully. "Before you came here I was actually suggesting to Bella she should stay overnight with us so you can get comfy with her. I didn't think she would get such an opportunity even before the night."
"Wow…" Xuefeng got overwhelmed. First, it was Katherine, now Bella in the span of fewer than ten minutes.
"Baby~" Wu called out sweetly as she rushed to his side and hugged him. "Don't reject Bella right away. See how it goes first, okay?"
"Okay, but what about Drakos?" Xuefeng questioned as he gazed at Bella. "Doesn't he have feelings for you?"
"What about him? We are not together," Bella shrugged, turning indifferent when he mentioned his name. "Besides, don't we need a human male for our test, right? There is only one human male I know and accept."
She smiled and crawled closer.
"It's you."
Chapter 193 Consider me (*)
"I think all of this happened way too fast," Xuefeng muttered, his brain still lagging from the whole idea. "How about we step back and take our time? We are not in a hurry."
"You are right. I guess I was too sudden…" Bella replied as she put her hands in between her thighs and looked at him sweetly. "But I wanted to get to know you better and spend some time together. We have known each other for three years but we rarely talked privately. Maybe getting physical right away is not normal but I don't mind. I know you will take good care of me."
Saying that Bella crawled up to his other side that wasn't occupied by Wu and grabbed his wrist. She smiled and placed his hand on her left breast, letting him experience her softness directly.
"Can you feel it?" Bella asked quietly, letting go of his wrist so he can do as he wished. "My heart is beating really fast right now. You can tell I'm sincere. I'm not playing around."
She wasn't lying, her heart was indeed racing but that didn't change his feeling of doing something he shouldn't. He liked Bella and enjoyed her company, but they were too rushed, not even understanding the situation fully.
As he didn't comment right away, Bella pressed forward boldly, making sure he touches her well. Xuefeng only squeezed her once out of instinct before pulling his arm away, wanting to finish their talk first.
"Bella, let's—" Xuefeng began but he got cut off by her.
"You don't like it? You can feel me as much as you like," Bella suggested before tilting her head in deep thought. "Unless you prefer to touch directly? I don't mind."
She didn't hesitate and grabbed the corners of her crimson summer dress and took it off through her head, displaying her bare chest for him.
"Whoa, Bella!" Wu exclaimed amazed and grinned, taking her dress off as well. "I guess I can only join."
In a blink, he had two beauties sitting on each of his thighs while looking at him happily. He didn't expect Wu to be so on board with Bella's idea, but he guessed the two were like sisters already.
"You two…" Xuefeng muttered, holding them both by their waists. "Bella, do you realize what you are signing up for?"
"Hmm? Am I supposed to worry about something? I don't mind no matter what naughty things you do to me. It's just a human body. Whatever pleasures you, I will do it," Bella replied as she pulled his hand up, letting him squeeze her bare chest. "Does it feel better now?"
"Your body feels great but that's not what I meant," Xuefeng answered as he finally gave her a proper squeeze. He could reject once but if a woman as hot as Bella offered herself to him repeatedly, he couldn't say no anymore.
"There is no such thing as just trying it out with me. Once you are mine, you will be mine forever. You can't just back off afterward. I want you to understand that," Xuefeng added as he held Wu's chin and leaned for a soft kiss. "Everything I have will belong to you, but also all of you will be mine. Your body, your soul, and your future. All of it."
"I find that an attractive deal…" Wu commented as she pulled his head for another passionate kiss. "I would take it any day."
Saying that Wu cuddled her naked back into his chest, letting him embrace her. He couldn't help but flip her hair to the one side and kiss her neck while grasping her freely with both hands. Xuefeng missed her after all. If not for Bella, he would already thrust inside her.
"Mhmm, Bella, how about we enjoy for now? I don't think Xuefeng minds if you watch us," Wu proposed as she reached down to his crotch, rubbing him suggestively. "Maybe you can even join us."
He could feel she wanted him badly. She was fanning the flames on purpose.
"Tsk, you definitely need to be punished," Xuefeng snickered, pinching her nipples as he gazed back at Bella. She was still deep in thought as she watched them.
"Bella, I know you don't mind testing our theory but just as I said, if we do this, you would be my woman forever. This is why I would prefer if we first got comfortable together just as you wanted," Xuefeng suggested and suddenly took off his shirt while laying down on the bed. "Come, you two hug me for a moment."
Wu was first to react, cuddling into his chest and Bella followed after he gave her thigh a soft stroke.
"Does it feel good?" Xuefeng asked giving Bella a casual back massage.
"Mhmm, it does…" Bella finally muttered, resting her head on his shoulder while looking down at Wu's bottom being caressed by him. "Can you grab me like that too? I want to know how it feels like."
"Hmm, sure," Xuefeng nodded as slid down her back, taking a big chunk of her butt into his palm. She didn't seem to mind that at all and actually got comfier, copying Wu as she cuddled into his neck.
"You can continue… I like it," Bella whispered, kissing his neck as if to return the favor.
'Congrats on a new wife,' Ming commented. 'I always thought Bella will become our sister. It was just a matter of time.'
'Bella is a good girl. She will definitely be a good member of your harem. I'm actually curious what happens if a Phoenix copulates with a human,' Ling added curiously.
'You two…' Xuefeng replied speechlessly when Bella spoke up.
"You probably wonder what happened between me and Drakos but you don't need to worry about him anymore. He and I will never be together. I realized we don't really match well. You, on the other hand, have all the values I actually like so I set my eyes on you instead."
Bella snuggled her nose into him while her hand caressed his chest and then skimmed down his belly, joining Wu in the assault. She shivered when she touched his hot erection directly before whispering again.
"Xuefeng… Can you consider me?"
Chapter 194 Double Trouble (**)
"Hey…" Xuefeng muttered, caressing her cheek while making Bella look up at him. "I was always considering you… I just didn't want to ruin that something you had with Drakos."
He kissed her on the forehead but then Bella reacted with a sudden euphoria. She reached up, holding his face passionately, and pressed their lips together. Bella clearly tried to recreate a kiss but after an initial pull on his bottom lip, she didn't seem like she knew what to do next.
"Can I try to have something with you too…? Even Phoenixes make mistakes. I want to try till I get it right…" Bella expressed as she pulled away ever so slightly before whispering, "I'm sorry… I never kissed…"
Xuefeng melted at her innocence. "It's okay. It's not hard," he informed as he parted her lips, showing her how its done on the spot.
"Mhmm…" Bella moaned as he constantly pressed and pulled till the rosy pink of her lips reddened while their breaths were halted.
Meanwhile, Wu didn't remain idle. She wiggled around his body as she stripped him off his pants before returning to him while having his erection fully in her grasp.
"I want kisses too…" Wu demanded as she gently bit on his ear while continuing to stroke him. She missed him for so long, so she deserved some attention too.
"My wife," Xuefeng muttered as he turned around to her and he was joyfully seized, not even giving him time to breathe.
The flavor of a hungry wife was truly different, her tongue spicing against his own before sweetening his moist mouth. She wasn't trying to win a battle but rather seeking union, closeness, and the sharing of one breath, one sensation, one timeless and passionate moment.
Xuefeng got aroused from the kiss alone which Bella noticed.
"You are getting so hot and your thing is twitching just from Sis Wu holding it… I wish I could do that too…" Bella commented in amazement as she gazed at his hotness.
She observed them still going at each other, their moves quick and electric, getting firmer and more determined with each move before she let go of him, switching into less occupied targets.
Kissing on his neck, Bella trailed down, watering his collar-bone and chest. She sucked and licked his nipple as if she wanted to cover his whole body with the warmth of her tongue. He could feel her nose tickle his abs as she kissed every muscle from the top to the bottom till she reached his lower belly.
"It's not slippery…" Bella muttered as she held him gently, taking over Wu who let her have her little moment.
Having no experience whatsoever, Bella found it hard to stroke it raw, so she licked her fingers and spread the saliva on the shaft. That only helped a little, causing her to squint her eyes.
"I need some more…" Bella figured and leaned down while lying on his stomach.
She glanced at the rosy head from up close and suddenly licked, testing the waters by trying. Seeing Xuefeng twitch, her eyes widened and she repeated the motion, licking him like a cat, her tip rotating boldly. She grasped the first step without anyone's help but the second was more complicated.
"Let me help her," Wu suggested with a smile, leaving his lips with a heated breath. "Just relax and enjoy."
Even though she was the one requiring attention, Wu still prioritized his own pleasure. Xuefeng naturally wouldn't let her off this easily, seizing her butt the moment she turned around.
"Ah~"
Before she could react, Xuefeng already squeezed her thighs as his tongue made her moan.
"Bella, you are doing well, but instead of just licking, try sucking as well," Wu informed as she joined Bella, quickly leaving a sucking kiss as if to get back at him.
"Oh!" Bella exclaimed and copied, kissing from the other side, their lips almost touching.
"Now try adding your tongue as you suck," Wu continued to instruct, sliding all the way to the top. Her tongue circled around the head before she swallowed him whole.
"Sis Wu, so good," Bella praised as she tried on her own. She trailed down all the way to the base and sucked on the two balls, licking aggressively at the same time.
The double combo was much for Xuefeng who has been blue-balled just earlier.
"Bella, come here!" Wu called out as Xuefeng trembled and began stroking. Bella only managed to get back when Xuefeng climaxed, exploding right at their faces.
"Ah!" Bella exclaimed in surprise while Wu grinned happily, opening her mouth with her tongue out. Bella only copied her at the second shot, claiming some of the liquid for herself.
"Taste it! It's good," Wu suggested before shamelessly gulping down the whole thing for herself.
Bella's eyes widened when she swallowed it all deep in her throat but when she tasted the golden liquid, she entered an even bigger shock.
"It's so good!" Bella called out, understanding now why Wu was so eager to get more even before she cleaned her face.
Xuefeng thrust with his hips but Wu didn't mind, taking it all excitedly.
"So deep…" Bella muttered as she gathered the remaining liquid from her nose and cheek. "Why is it so relaxing? My body screams as if it wants more of it…"
"Hehe," Wu giggled as she pulled back. "I know right? The more you taste it, the more you want it— Ahh…"
Her speech got broken by a moan as Xuefeng continued to stimulate her. Bella seized this moment and took his erection into her hands, swallowing it down herself.
"Cough, cough!"
She withdrew a moment later, almost choking from her first try. She couldn't help but look at Wu with respect.
"Don't force yourself. You have time to learn everything," Wu reminded, licking her fingers before her own portion gets stolen.
"Hmm, can we get more?" Bella wondered curiously as she stroked, trying to squeeze the last drops. Her eyes were literally shining.
"You will have to ask the man himself," Wu replied as she escaped from Xuefeng's clutches, letting him sit up.
Knock, knock.
Xuefeng only managed to hold the two perky bottoms when they heard a knocking sound.
"Yes?" Xuefeng called out, the person disturbing them at the worst possible moment. He was already all fired up and he didn't want to wait anymore.
"Xuefeng, I know you are with Wu but have you seen Bella? I cannot find her."
Chapter 195 Am I a Problem?
Xuefeng instantly glanced at Bella and she did the same. Compared to what he expected, she didn't panic but instead look at him curiously as if to see what he would do.
"Yeah, I have seen her," Xuefeng called back out loud, causing Wu to pinch him. "Are you going to tell him right now…?"
"What else? Are we supposed to hide it?" Xuefeng questioned her in a whisper. "I have to tell him. No matter how problematic, he is our friend. He was interested in Bella first, so it's only fair for me to tell him. Although it's Bella's decision to be with who she wants—"
"I will tell him then," Bella cut him off, pushing him back on the bed when he tried to get up. "I guess I should have talked to him earlier."
Xuefeng could only sigh as he watched her grab her one-piece crimson dress. He was about to call to Drakos to wait for a second but paused midway, hearing Drakos's response from outside.
"She must be in her room, right? I don't think she wants to see me since she doesn't respond at all. Can you pass her a message from me?" he asked calmly as he narrated the message right after.
"Tell her I am sorry for hurting her feelings, but she also wasn't perfect to me. You can't expect something from me while not doing the same. I was clearly hurt before but I let it pass. How can she be so mad at me when I'm only following the rules she set up previously?"
"Oof…" Xuefeng and Wu couldn't help but gasp. "Did he just double-down…?"
Xuefeng didn't like where this was going. He actually thought Drakos will just apologize yet he continued the argument. The main thing Xuefeng learned over the years was to never prolong an argument if there is a way to stop it. The worst thing Drakos could do was recounting Bella's faults.
"Bella…" Xuefeng muttered, seeing her freeze in her tracks. He didn't hesitate and wore his underwear as he skipped behind her, hurrying to pacify the situation before it was too late.
"It's okay, calm down…" Xuefeng assured, embracing Bella tightly. She was tense and hot as if flames of anger were burning inside her.
Too bad, Drakos wasn't helping him at all.
"Ugh, romance is so hard. I don't know how you do it. No matter what I do she says it's wrong. I guess I'm not ready to be with anyone else. Being alone is so much better," Drakos called out frustrated. "I don't need to care—"
"Drakos, it's enough. I got the message!" Xuefeng warned, knowing it might go in the wrong direction but Drakos kept going.
"Ah, but that's not all. I also wanted to suggest for you to take care of Bella. She deserves some love so you should court her. If it's you, I can feel safe knowing I leave her in good hands," Drakos proposed. "I also realized I will need to gather mountains worth of Fate Stones for her so I'm definitely not ready for such commitment."
'Fuck, it's over…' Xuefeng commented, regretting not stopping Drakos from talking.
"I will kill him this time," Bella muttered under her breath, her fist tightening on her dress while her hair lit up with sparks.
He was forced to release her and she immediately wore her dress as if readying for a battle.
"Hey, hey… Isn't that what you wanted?" Xuefeng asked softly, trying to appease her anger as he moved in front of her. "You are mine now. It doesn't matter what he says. There is no point arguing. Stay with me, okay?"
Bella hesitated but gazing at the door hatefully, she took his hands off her and walked away.
"I won't kill him then, but I still want to punish him," Bella said on the way, causing Xuefeng to sigh.
It wasn't even an hour since he accepted her and she already disobeyed him. He couldn't let that happen.
Thud!
Before she touched the knob, Xuefeng teleported next to her and grasped her wrist, jerking Bella against the door. His fingers brushed into her burning hair, softening the impact but her body still slammed hard.
"Huh? What happened?" Drakos questioned from the hallway but Xuefeng and Bella were locked in a gaze. She was naturally fine but her wrist was pinned down while her crimson hair grasped and held in place.
"I asked you nicely to stay put," Xuefeng muttered, staring into her eyes. "How do you want to be mine if you don't respect my wishes?"
His hand was burning but she quickly put the flames off, looking at him upset.
"But—" Bella tried to argue but he quickly shushed her with his lips.
"Shh, no buts. I don't want any arguments, especially within our group. Even Nuwa who rarely listens wouldn't reject my request. If you want to be with me, you need to learn how to respect me as your man, otherwise, I can't be with you."
Bella looked at him with a gaze full of mixed thoughts and he caressed her cheek, freeing her arm. She didn't struggle though, letting him hold her gently.
"This was the reason why I didn't want to rush anything. I can't be your man if we don't reach a mutual understanding and create a special bond between us. Giving your body to me won't make you my woman. There is also a special ingredient called love," Xuefeng whispered as he fixed her head and left a kiss on her forehead. "Let me handle Drakos, okay?"
He didn't wait for her answer, laying her head on his chest but her soft nod and an immediate embrace were enough for him.
"Hello? What happened?" Drakos repeated confused.
"Well, I just saved your life," Xuefeng replied honestly. "Bella was in our room this whole time and just wanted to kill you. I stopped her in time."
"…" Drakos went silent before exploding, "Why didn't you tell me right away?! Cough! I was only joking!"
"It's okay. I will take care of her so it's best if you go rest now," Xuefeng suggested.
"Ah, fuck. Good luck then. She is your problem now," Drakos called out, actually sounding happy as if he dodged a bullet.
This triggered Bella once again but instead of exploding, she hugged Xuefeng tightly and asked, "Am I a problem?"
He didn't give her an easy answer, only carrying her back to the bed and replying as he laid her down.
"None of my women are a problem to me. If you feel the need to ask then we have lots of work ahead."
Chapter 196 Emergency (**)
"I see… I guess I need to work hard if I want to make it in time with everyone…"
Xuefeng and the girl lost the momentum from before so he didn't continue the sexy time and hugged the two ladies instead. He began storytelling about everything that happened while they were gone as well as shedding some light on their future plans.
The most shocking for Wu and Bella was the one-year deal he had with Sect Master Liu.
"Don't worry, we will all cultivate hard and ascend together. I will not leave anyone behind," Xuefeng assured as he caressed Wu's back. "We already have plans to Dual Cultivate a lot to speed up the process. I will naturally help you all."
"Mhmm, I know you will," Wu nodded as she cuddled into him. "But I still don't get it fully. Wasn't Sect Master Liu on our side?"
"Yes, and he is still protecting us. It's just that without this deal, his Master will try to kill us before I'm strong enough to face him. If we can convince him to give me one year, I will have greater chances of defeating him," Xuefeng explained patiently. "I need to fight him at some point anyway since he has the Elemental Stones I need. We are only stalling for a time now."
"But why would he agree to it? If I was trying to kill you, why would I give you time to get stronger?" Bella questioned, joining the discussion.
"That's a fair point. I wouldn't either but we hope that Old Master won't have any other choice. We have Trade Union and House of Dragon supporting us. As long as we are careful, he won't be able to like do anything to us."
"I don't like this," Wu protested immediately, lifting herself up with an upset expression. "If that's the case, we shouldn't stay here. What if we were attacked right now? We are out in the open with limited protection."
"That's what I'm worried about as well. I want to reunite with everyone as soon as possible and head straight towards the Spirit Land Capital. I'm not going to gamble your lives because of my enemies," Xuefeng decided, trying to calm her down by caressing her cheek. "They will be here in a few hours and we will depart right away."
"Sect Master Liu will arrive even sooner so don't worry," Xuefeng added, managing to bring Wu back into his arms.
"Can we cultivate till then?" Wu suggested. "Since I only have one year, I can't waste time or I'm going to fall behind everyone else. I only managed to refine my Elements to Qi Materialization Stage and I'm yet to cultivate. I need to start from zero basically."
Wu didn't wait for his agreement as her hand traveled down onto his crotch, rubbing it suggestively.
"Of course we can. I wanted to propose the same," Xuefeng approved, wanting the same. "Would you like to refine Upgrade Fragments or cultivate first?"
"Hmm? We can refine together?" Wu asked confused. "I thought you can only Dual Cultivate by absorbing Qi?"
Xuefeng couldn't help but get dumbfounded at her question. He was about to say she misunderstood when it suddenly hit him.
Can he actually do that?!
Can he actually refine Upgrade Fragments for his wives to speed up the process?
"We need to try this!" Xuefeng called out as he got up from beneath them. "I can actually use my Elemental Bracelet to refine the Fragments much faster for myself. I want to try transferring it all to you as we Dual Cultivate."
Wu's eyes brightened at this idea. She got up immediately and grasped Xuefeng's waist, sliding his underwear down. She grasped him firmly when Bella reacted as well, squeezing in her head next to Wu. Despite what happened before, she still eagerly involved herself in everything.
"Mhmm, thank you," Xuefeng appreciated as two tongues forced another erection. They didn't have to do it yet they still focused on Xuefeng's pleasure.
He brushed his fingers through their hair before he pulled them away, knowing they could continue forever. Wu used the momentum of his push and fell on her back while Bella sat still, watching Xuefeng's crotch with desire. It was obvious Xuefeng's taste was still fresh in her mind.
"I'm ready," Wu announced as she spread her legs, showing an inviting gesture. Her naked body with hair spilled all over was too alluring to not pounce right on.
Xuefeng dropped right at her, squishing his erection between her inner thighs. Just as he needed arousal, Wu wasn't different. He only slid her undies to the side as he pushed forward, rubbing directly against her. He didn't stop till she opened her mouth and breathed out hot air.
"Try to refine your Qi once I send everything your way," Xuefeng instructed as he suddenly spread her legs and slowly pierced inside.
"Ah! Yes!" Wu cried out in the agreement, tightening around him in pent-up yearning. He knew how much she missed this feeling so he let her accustom to his thrusts.
Moans filled the room when Xuefeng finally pulled out two Fire Upgrade Fragments. He emptied them from Qi before sending everything inside her body through their connection.
"I can! I got it!" Wu called out excitedly as she grasped his waist. "Keep them coming. I want more."
He couldn't help but laugh at the discovery. He didn't wait and pulled out another two Fragments knowing she wanted more of him as well. Too bad, their happiness was short-lived.
A loud knock on the door disturbed them.
"Oh, come on!" Wu lamented displeased. They were supposed to have some time for themselves yet they were disturbed repeatedly.
They didn't expect what they heard next.
"Xuefeng! We have an emergency!" Katherine called out urgently from outside. If even she was panicking, it had to be serious.
"What happened?" Xuefeng questioned, hoping for a false alarm but that day wasn't lucky for them.
"Liu was attacked on the way and sent a call for help!"
Chapter 197 Old Master's Servant
Xuefeng exchanged glances with Wu. That day was truly unlucky for them. They were already disturbed twice as if the whole world was plotting against them.
"Don't worry, we have all life to enjoy ourselves," Wu assured sweetly as she caressed his face and kissed him. "If there is something important, we can't help it."
"Mhmm, I know…" Xuefeng nodded, returning the kiss before getting up. He couldn't just continue selfishly when someone who defended him before was now in trouble.
"What happened?"
"Liu said he is surrounded and struggles to fight back. He activated his defensive barrier but doesn't know how long he can hold on," Katherine explained while they dressed up. "He didn't give me much information before he ended the call."
"Isn't he the strongest expert in the Heaven Realm? Can't he run away?" Xuefeng asked confused.
If Xuefeng was met with a situation he couldn't handle, it wasn't a shame to run away. He only had one life and many wives to take care of.
"He said they locked the space around him, so he can't escape," Katherine replied annoyed. "Anyway, I just came to inform you. I and Pearl will rush to help him. You don't need to come along with us since they are after you in the first place."
"Who are they?" Xuefeng asked while opening the door. Wu and Bella were right by his side.
Katherine only gave them a casual glance before she looked at him seriously.
"From what I figured, they are the same people that Liu tried to lure away. When he left to join us, they followed him in an even bigger number. He is strong but the number of experts is too many for him to handle alone. I'm not asking you to come with us because they will simply shift their focus onto you and I don't want that."
Katherine approached him and grabbed onto his shirt.
"Stay here and wait for my call, okay?" Katherine pleaded. "We will help him and come back. We should be fine with just us."
She didn't wait for his answer and leaned over to kiss his cheek before walking towards the exit of the flying ship. Xuefeng couldn't help but frown at that even before Ming spoke.
'You should go along with them. Those people are greedy and will never stop chasing you. They are not scared of their life because they are using Avatars. It's better if you fight together and show them who they mess with so they at least hesitate next time. It's even better if you are not alone since you can use them as a distraction in case we need to run away.'
Xuefeng never had a habit of running away and having to always fear an ambush wasn't healthy. He could use Sect Master Liu and Katherine's help to finally solve the problem.
"And what about you two?" Xuefeng called out after the girls.
"Hmm?" Katherine stopped and turned around. "We will be fine. We are strong enough to take care of ourselves."
"Are you sure? You have no information about who you are against. What if they shift their focus onto you instead and hurt you? Am I supposed to just let you die?" Xuefeng questioned.
"You don't understand. They want to kill you. They went after Liu to find you. Why would you go to them willingly?" Katherine argued. "I don't even plan to fight. I will just take him away and trust me, no one can catch me if I want to run."
"I'm coming along," Xuefeng decided on the spot. "They are already playing on my nerves for a while. I can't leave such danger unattended or this will never end."
He copied her method and didn't ask for her permission as he turned to the girls.
"Bella, stay and protect Wu while I'm gone. This is too dangerous for you to follow me," Xuefeng ordered and gave them both a kiss. "I will be back with everyone."
Although Wu seemed worried, she didn't question his decision.
"Come back safe."
Katherine, on the other hand, didn't seem happy about it but Xuefeng only passed by them, heading out first.
"Why are you so stubborn?" Katherine asked upset but only shrugged as he pulled out a Communication Crystal.
"Because I don't like the world where I endanger people I care about by breathing. Someone needs to clean up this mess and there is no one other than me who can do it," Xuefeng replied honestly. "Now, can you tell me where they are?"
———
"Disciple Liu, how long till he comes here?"
While Xuefeng and the girls were rushing to help, Sect Master Liu wasn't in such a desperate situation as he claimed. He was hovering in the sky surrounded by a barrier but it didn't seem like he controlled it.
He was trapped!
Beside him stood no other than his master's servant with his palm on the barrier.
"I have no idea. I sent them my location," Sect Master Liu replied with a shrug. "They were next to the Dwarf Kingdom so they should arrive soon since it's not far from here."
"I didn't hear Disciple Liu mention the target's name. Is Disciple Liu sure he will come?" The Servant questioned politely, still remaining respectful despite the current situation.
"He will come. He is not someone who will use others to fight for him," Sect Master Liu replied as he threw the Servant a stinky eye. "But don't think I will help you fight against him. I am taking my wife and leaving you alone. Especially after you used your stupid barrier against me. If you are brave, how about you turn it off so we can talk."
"I'm sorry, Disciple Liu, but I can't do that. I was ordered to bring Elemental Bracelet to Master and I will finish my task with or without Disciple's help," the Servant replied before gazing at the tens of experts surrounding them in the distance. "Everyone, prepare for an ambush and wait for my signal! He is going to arrive soon."
Chapter 198 Love Choice
"We are close," Katherine said as they finally slowed down. "He should be around this area."
"Shouldn't they be fighting? I don't hear any sounds of battle," Xuefeng wondered when he felt a sudden limitation on his body.
"The space around us is locked," Xuefeng warned. "Be careful."
Xuefeng immediately bounced off Katherine's back and spread his own wings, preparing himself for battle. Since they couldn't run away, they could only fight their way out.
Katherine nodded and turned back into a human. Although her Dragon form provided her with better protection, she would also a bigger target.
'This is a trap,' Ming informed. 'I can feel tens of strong entities hiding underneath us.'
'Should I start preparing my Domain?' Xuefeng wondered, not really scared of them.
They were facing Avatars who had a limited amount of Qi. As long as they use up all their Qi, they would be forced to return back to God Realm.
'It's okay, don't alert them yet. Let's see what they are up to first,' Ming suggested. 'Look ahead. We found them.'
Xuefeng scouted ahead and saw two people in the distance. One was Sect Master Liu who hovered inside a golden barrier while the other was unknown to him.
'Something feels fishy. Didn't he say that he is attacked and struggles to fight back? Why is he trapped instead?' Ling questioned when Sect Master Liu spotted them.
"Pearl! Katherine!"
Ling wasn't the only one who noticed it as Katherine paused as well, gazing at the man trapping Sect Master Liu.
"What is going on here?" Katherine questioned sternly. "Why is your Master's Servant here?"
Xuefeng immediately frowned when he heard that, pulling out his Dragon Edge. He actually expected Sect Master Liu to fight with them but it seemed like it wasn't possible.
"I'm sorry Miss but your Husband forced me into it. There wouldn't be an issue if he fulfilled the request properly," the Servant apologized before snapping his fingers.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Multiple experts who previously hid suddenly emerged, surrounding them from all directions.
"I only want the boy. You two can leave," the Servant added as he pointed at the girls.
Xuefeng remained calm while slowly releasing his Qi into his surroundings. It was the first time he saw Katherine this angry so he let her stall for some time.
"Why did you lie?!" Katherine yelled out as her body sparked with lightning. "You said you are in danger!"
"Katherine! Calm down. Does it look like I had a choice? Look around you," Sect Master Liu called back while pointing at all the experts. "I can hold my ground against them but is it worth it? They are not afraid to die. I would need to sacrifice my years of gains or even risk injury to escape them."
"So you would rather sacrifice Xuefeng's life?! What the fuck Liu?!" Katherine cursed furiously. "Get back to your senses and fight them with us! We can win together!"
"Even if I want to, I can't. This bitch has trapped me with my Master's Artefact. I tried to help Xuefeng but at some point, there comes a time where you need to be selfish. I'm sorry but I won't risk my life for someone I know for less than a week," Sect Master Liu explained as he gazed at Xuefeng. "I'm sure you would do the same in my situation."
"Haha, that's where you are wrong," Xuefeng finally spoke, laughing out loud. "I am not like you. I would never leave anyone behind. I come here to save you despite knowing I am the target in the first place. How do you expect people to trust you in the future if you selfishly give up on someone to save your ass? You will eventually end up alone which is not the life I want."
Sect Master Liu definitely didn't like that response as his eyes squinted but the Servant didn't give him a chance to banter with Xuefeng.
"I will only give you thirty seconds to leave that man's side. If you don't, you will be killed—"
"Shut up!" Katherine cut him off as she sent a bolt of thick lightning his way.
Too bad, the Servant extended his palm and blocked the lightning with a similar barrier that wrapped around Sect Master Liu.
"Now you only have twenty-five seconds. I'm being considerate of your status Miss, so please don't make it hard for us both," the Servant pleaded calmly.
"Katherine, Pearl, I know this is a hard decision but I can't save you if you stay there. Come to my side," Sect Master Liu requested, extending his hand to them. "We have no other choice. It's either your life or his."
"I can't believe this…" Katherine muttered speechlessly. "I actually feel sick thinking I spent so many years with a man like you. Would you give up on me too if that meant saving your life?"
"Katherine! Of course not! I would—" Sect Master Liu tried to defend himself but Katherine cut him off as she moved to Xuefeng's side.
"Don't produce yourself. Your actions already showed me what kind of person you are. I'm really disappointed."
Xuefeng couldn't help but smile at her decision, already expecting her to stay with him. Although the smart choice would be to leave him alone, she wasn't a person who breaks her word.
He couldn't say the same about Pearl.
"Pearl! Please, come to my side! I don't want to lose you!" Sect Master Liu called out to Pearl in hurry. His quick switch between girls only made Katherine's conviction stronger.
"Liu!" Pearl cried back, clearly displeased. "Xuefeng saved me! Am I supposed to just leave him to die?"
"You know we don't have a choice! Come! I know you don't want to die! We fell in love because we are similar," Sect Master Liu convinced. "Don't throw your life away!"
"Time is running up," the Servant reminded, causing the situation to get tense.
Pearl paused and glanced at Xuefeng.
"Pearl, we need—" Katherine spoke first but Xuefeng shushed her.
"Shh, It's okay. She can do whatever her heart tells her to do."
He gazed into her eyes and added, "We don't owe each other anything. You already paid me back with your information earlier. Don't feel bad about it and just follow your heart."
Katherine frowned about it but before she spoke, Pearl bowed, her hair covering her face.
"I'm sorry," Pearl apologized before she flew towards her first lover.
Pearl would probably agree to fight with them out of guilt but Xuefeng felt more at ease with her leaving. It was harder to look after two people than just one.
"You made a right decision," the Servant praised before ordering, "Kill those two."
The Experts pulled out their weapons at his command, ready to pounce at the target.
"Are you sure about that?"
Chapter 199 Message
Xuefeng's bold call caused the experts to pause. He kept smirking throughout the encirclement, not giving in to the pressure.
"I already saw most of you before. Do you think I wouldn't remember your faces?" Xuefeng asked as he glanced at certain individuals.
Although not everyone, most of the experts were the same who already wanted to kill him before with the absence of a few important figures like the Dragon Race Member or the beautiful Elves. Xuefeng also saw a few new faces but that didn't change one fact.
They knew him and already saw what he was capable of.
"Hah, it's funny to me that you didn't learn your lesson during our first encounter," Xuefeng giggled as he flew to Katherine's side and caressed her cheek worry-free. "I showed you one-tenth of my power during the Tournament. I thought you will understand the power of the Elemental Bracelet and leave me alone but you keep on digging your graves."
The Servant squinted his eyes.
"Don't listen to him. He is trying to manipulate you," he warned. "He can't stand a chance against all of you no matter what he says. He only has three Elemental Stones which are useless in this Land. I already paid you so do as you ordered. If my Master obtains the Elemental Bracelet, you will be rewarded once again."
"Hah, am I really the one who is manipulating here?" Xuefeng quickly countered. "Imagine we get away, what then? Who will protect them from me? I remember all their faces. If they attack me right now, I will find every single one of them and kill them. It doesn't matter where they hide. I keep my word."
"That won't happen. You won't live by tomorrow," the Servant argued but before he continued, Xuefeng cut him off again.
"Are you sure?"
As he asked, he flipped his sword in the air. When he caught it, the air suddenly turned cold as small snowflakes appeared around them.
The expert's expression changed in a blink as they quickly backed off while activating their Qi barriers. They were the exact ones who already witnessed the brutal power of his Ice Domain in the tournament.
"Watch out!" they cried out in warning but it was too late.
Boom!
Ice spikes grew out of thin air and struck ten experts who were late with their reaction. They kept coming from all directions and even after being destroyed, the chunks of ice melted back into the water before freezing on their bodies.
In just a few seconds, only their heads were uncovered while the rest of their bodies turned into ice sculptures. With the space locked, none of them could escape easily.
"Wait, wait! Please don't kill me! I'm willing to leave!"
"Me too! I will even give you what that man paid us!"
"Yes! I'm willing too!"
All experts gave in one by one, just as he wanted. There was no way their resolve to kill him was strong, to begin with. Although it wasn't a big deal to lose an Avatar, offending the Elemental Bracelet's holder was.
"Oh, look at all of you. So cute. I thought you are not afraid to offend me?" Xuefeng asked amused. "I really wonder what made you think that you stand a chance against me just cause you have a number advantage. I didn't even resort to using my Fate Holder Abilities, let alone all my Forbidden Arts. I even limited the power of my Elemental Bracelet this whole time."
He could feel the regret coming out from all the experts as he recounted but he didn't stop, turning to Katherine.
"Can you tell me what's up with them? Do you think they are all suicidal and just want to die so badly?" Xuefeng asked as he embraced her waist, no longer caring what Sect Master Liu would think.
Katherine shivered at first, but then looked at him and relaxed her body, moving closer to him.
"I think they do. There is no one in the Heaven Realm that can compare with you. Why would they make an enemy out of you?" Katherine wondered as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Sect Master Liu frowned at that but he remained silent.
"We were greedy Sir!" the experts called out in defense. "But we learned our lesson! Please don't hold grudges against us! We are not worth it."
"You are right. I really don't have time to deal with all the small fishes," Xuefeng admitted as he extended his sword at the Servant. "I will be busy hunting for the Old Master who dared to challenge me."
"Anyway," Xuefeng cut it short. "Next time think ten times before you waste my time. If I see you again one more time, I will take some time off my busy schedule to finish you for real."
Crack!
As he finished speaking, the ice statues broke before exploding together with the expert's bodies. He smiled watching the ice fall from the sky and grabbed ten Storage Rings, keeping them for later.
"Anyone else wants a quick trip back to the God Realm? I'm in a good mood, so I can help you free of charge."
No one dared to answer him and instead increased the distance between them.
'Tsk, you are acting well considering you just used up all of your Water Qi for that one attack,' Ming teased.
'Shhh, they don't know that…' Xuefeng shushed while keeping a straight face.
No one besides himself and his Fate Spirits knew how strong he actually was but when it came to Elemental Bracelet, that was the most he could do for now. Without taking advantage of the Qi existing in nature, he was greatly limited. If he was attacked once again, he would be forced to use Ming and Ling's strength to face them.
Knowing his bull-shiting skills, Xuefeng wasn't even a bit worried, changing his focus to the Servant.
"I thought your Master will bring me trouble but seeing how he doesn't even dare to face me directly I lost all respect for him. Go back to your Master and tell him he is a bitch."
Chapter 200 Underestimated
"I apologize but I can't repeat your message," the Servant replied calmly. "I will still recount what happened. My Master and I definitely underestimated the power of the Elemental Bracelet."
It was the first time Xuefeng met someone as patient as that man. He almost felt bad but there was no way he would let him go this easily.
"Don't worry, I will help you get to your master sooner," Xuefeng assured as he kept his Dragon Edge. "I don't want you to forget my message."
Immediately after he spoke, he let go of Katherine, and his body burst with golden light. His arms turned into two Air and Fire Dragon Claws that he displayed to the experts.
"If you want to be forgiven, stop him if he tries running away."
The Servant finally reacted with displeasure.
"You are making a mistake young man. The moment you wore the Elemental Bracelet, you agreed to be challenged. This is a fair competition."
"Haha! Fair competition?!" Xuefeng burst out laughing. "Is this what we call it nowadays? Ganging up on one person with tens of experts is a fair competition? Don't make me laugh! How about you face all of us together since it's so fair?!"
He launched forward without hesitation and smashed a flaming fist against the Servant's body. Too bad, inches before the hit, the same golden barrier blocked the strike, not even cracking it.
Bang!
His claws exploded with flames, covering them all before Xuefeng bounced back.
"I see, so that's how your barrier works," Xuefeng commented casually. "I was just testing it."
'You should get this Artefact. If I'm not wrong, it's one of the Godly Treasures,' Ming suggested but Xuefeng already thought the same. If he could gift it to one of his wives, he wouldn't need to worry about her safety anymore.
"Although my strength is limited by the Heaven Realm, the power of my Artefacts is not. There is no one under God Realm who can break through it," the Servant muttered proudly. "Give up and leave. You can't defeat me."
"And you," he gazed at the experts still lingering in the distance. "I will definitely inform my Master of your betrayal."
The experts' faces turned ugly, trapped between two powerful entities. No matter who they sided with, they risked the anger of the other.
Xuefeng couldn't help but laugh again, assuring, "Hah, don't worry! Give me a year and that old man won't be able to bother anyone."
The Servant raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah, you heard me right," Xuefeng repeated confidently. "I will reach the peak of Celestial Stage within one year, Ascend to the God Realm, find your bitch Master, and kill him. No matter where he hides, he won't be able to escape me."
"My Master never runs away from an enemy," the Servant replied sternly. "I was actually worried Master finally found a worthy opponent but seeing how delusional you are, I feel at ease."
He snapped his fingers at the Experts and ordered, "Cancel your lockdown on the space. I'm leaving."
"Don't!" Xuefeng countered instantly. "He is stuck here cause he can't teleport away. Once he tries to run away, he will release Sect Master Liu as well. That's the reason he didn't move this whole time."
"Yes!" Sect Master Liu confirmed. "Force him away from the barrier! It will free me and we can fight him together."
Xuefeng only rolled his eyes, ignoring his suggestion. The only way he would free him was by killing the Servant. Sect Master Liu lost all his respect and he didn't want to have anything to do with him.
He didn't plan on hating him either as he got punished for his actions already.
"Xuefeng!" Katherine called out as she flew to his side, her body sparkling with lightning. "Let me help you."
Xuefeng smiled and nodded, "Take care of Pearl."
She was close to Sect Master Liu but after Xuefeng's attack, she quickly distanced herself.
"The only way you can leave this place is by leaving your soul behind," Xuefeng called out to the Servant. "I'm sure your Master misses you."
"Even Disciple Liu can't break out. What makes you think you can do it?" the Servant asked with a shrug. "I don't mind staying here but you are only wasting time—"
"Who said anything about breaking?"
Time manipulation!
Xuefeng launched himself forward once again as everything froze. He didn't save on Fate Qi, activating his ability to the fullest.
Ten times!
Twenty times!
Thirty times!
Each second passed for him seemed like thirty seconds for everyone else. Even with that, inches before his claws hit the target, the barrier began to appear.
"Not today!" Xuefeng cried out as he pierced faster, dodging the barrier to strike from the side.
Ugh!
Everyone heard a loud grunt when the time unfroze and Xuefeng was by the Servant's side with his claws deep in his stomach.
"When you are fast enough, you don't need much strength to defeat your enemies," Xuefeng muttered, thrusting his claws even deeper.
"You can manipulate tim—" the Servant figured but Xuefeng cut him off, covering his mouth with a second claw.
"You will never know. Tell your Bitch Master to wait for me. I won't make him wait too long though," Xuefeng reminded before he ripped off the entire head.
The barrier surrounding Sect Master Liu broke while the Servant's body slowly vanished, turning back into Qi which Xuefeng happily absorbed.
"Liu!" Pearl cried out and rushed into his arms but Xuefeng didn't pay attention to them, spotting a necklace stuck on one of his claws.
"Xuefeng, are you okay?" Katherine appeared next to him and noticed the round crystal melted into a black metal frame. "Is that the Artefact?"
"Mhmm," Xuefeng nodded immediately and let Ming keep it for now. "We will talk about it later. There is something more important to settle for now."
As he spoke, he turned to the experts and announced, "The party is over. You can all scram. If I see any of you again, you will receive the same kind of treatment as this man."
He didn't need to speak twice for them to start moving, disappearing from sight right after with only the four of them hovering in the sky.
"Katherine, I can explain…"
