The phenomenon happened for 2 minutes, until it vanished and thus, Crius finally reacher Spirit Strengthener as a 3 Year old.
„Crius, you really have outdone yourself, but what do you expect me to tell to the Villager Chef? Surely, he will come out of suspicions and not good intent."
„A valid point. My strength has already reached such heights, that I'm shocking myself."
Rosy was speechless, because of his own praising.
„This will be annoying! I lost to my own Son, after a mere day, the bet even begun and now this!"
Rosy was basically struck by madness and Crius knew he had to act fast, before it turns worse.
„How about this? If he rises questions, then say that a robber wanted to use some evil art on us and he escaped..let's say North, it's not far and they are known for their wild behavior."
„Fine, but from now on, you have to wake me as well up and not leave me back!"
Crius was now speechless, but he can't deny, that their relationship is already pretty close and deserves such regular habits.
„ughh...!"
Suddenly, Crius body hurt a lot and he felt all the gathered Spirit Qi in his body growing, like balloons, causing him massive pain.
„What's wrong?"
Rosy saw her son suddenly inflating. She didn't knew much about cultivating and was scared something would happen to him.
„AHHH!"
Crius felt the massive pain growing and his body lengthened. He didn't understand anything, but could only endure.
„Crius!"
Rosy tried to look for injuries, but she only saw, how he outgrew out of his clothes and was stunned.
„I'm fine, don't worry."
After he stabilized himself and the massive pain vanished, he noticed how he grew. He was surprised and thought today must be his lucky day, but remembered Rosy's previous words and continued.
„Sure, I will wake you up from now on. I seem to have already progressed in age, to a 16 year old. It seems the body expands, if the usual body of the age isn't enough to compress the Qi."
He was now physically with his body a 16 year old, but should be a 3 year old psychological. Unfortunately, simple logic doesn't apply to Crius.
*Knock* *Knock*
„Village Chef here, open the Door!"
A mild, but commanding voice could be heard.
„Ugh, that old guy only comes, because he has a crush on me..."
Rosy looked at Crius, if there would be any facial changes.
Instantly, a red glimmer could be seen by closer eying and a cold voice was freezing the whole room.
„Excuse me? If you dare let him touch you, I will rip him in 1000 Bits, so that the whole village can have him as a gift of me for all villagers"
Rosy loved his possessiveness and wanted to rush in his arms, but held herself back.
„No worries Dear, my body and soul only belongs to you."
After her statement, Rosy went to the door to open it and deal with it as fast as possible.
„Lady Rosy, as t Village Chef, it's my oblige to protect the inhabitant lives. What happened here?"
Rosy already trained her acting skills and put on a saddened express.
„A robber! He came here to use some weird evil art on us and failed. I could stall time and told him that Guardians will come. Greatly, you all came!"
The Village Chef eyes brightened and his face turned into a prideful express.
„Do not worry, Lady Rosy. For the time being, you can stay by my house and be protected from such future cases!"
Rosy was dumbfounded. Was she already too good? What a annoying old geezer..
„Thank you very much, but I have a son and wish to stay here to help him with cultivation. We will only disturb you, Villager Chef."
„Your presence would be a blessing, how could we decline a beauty like you? If you wish to stay longer for your safety, then make yourself comfortable, as if it would be your own home!"
The Guardians were startled. Did we come here to watch you try flirt?
But obviously, they didn't raise their opinion.
„Sir, are you perhaps the Villager Chef?"
The Villager Chef heard a serious, but cold tone. He wanted to suppress his anger, if it is, who he thinks it is.
„Yes, that's me. Why do you care? Lady Rosy and I wanted to go back to my house now. Let's go!"
