"You are more powerful than I imagined you to be." Mia said as she caught up to Kai.
He smiled at her and both of them walked to her house. Mia wanted to sleep while Kai was making sure that no one was following her again.
"So I guess this is goodbye for now." Mia said as they reached her house.
"Before you go in, there is something you haven't done." Kai said as Mia reached for her doorknob. She turned to look at him as he smiled a little.
"You told the crowd that you would kiss the winner. I am pretty sure that I won." Kai said as Mia's cheeks flushed.
She wanted to say that she had done that to gather a crowd but looking at his face, something tugged on her insides.
She took a deep breath and moved forward. Her face was inches away from his face as she stared into his deep purple eyes.
She closed her eyes and touched her lips to his. She could feel electric currents run throughout her body as their lips connected.
She then quickly stepped back and said goodbye to him and entered her house in a hurry. Kai stood there for a few seconds before he walked away.
'I didn't expect her to kiss me so quickly. We have only known each other for a few hours and yet...' His thoughts trailed as he reached his house.
He didn't enter it and instead went forward and laid on the ground as he stared at the stars all night.
In the morning, Mia came to his house to see him standing outside. She was holding a backpack on her shoulder. It was surprising that such a world had such stuff.
When Kai saw her, he chuckled slightly. She was wearing flower-patterned white robes to blend in with the crowd and make sure that no one could trace her.
But Kai was thinking about something else. The previous Mia would rather be dead than being caught alive in a robe. For some reason, she hated robes with her heart.
For her usual outfit, she wore a black tank top with a black leather jacket and black mini shorts. And for some reason, she was addicted to ice creams.
You can never find her without a popsicle in her hand. Kai missed that Mia as well as the rest of his harem but there was no use in thinking about something you can't have.
Kai smiled at her and offered her his hand. She reluctantly grabbed it as Kai's warm hand wrapped around her hand.
"Close your eyes and visualize the place where we are going." Mia did as Kai instructed.
Kai used his powers to channel the image to his mind and with that, he teleported them using light steps.
They appeared in a dark abandoned alley and Kai could hear the noises of a market being a few meters away. Since it was his first time teleporting such a large distance with such low cultivation, he had to take a deep breath to clear his mind.
They stood there for a few minutes as Mia and Kai assessed their surroundings. They then moved to see the market as Kai decided to ask a few questions.
"How did the slave traders capture you?" Kai asked as Mia's expression hardened. As he waited for her answer, he took out the inner court disciple robes he had received and wore them.
He then brushed it a little and the blue color darkened and the symbol of the sect vanished. The robes now looked like normal dark blue robes.
"The slave traders caught me in a forest and tried to r*pe me before selling me. But for some reason, they weren't able to do so. When they touched their hands on my body, their hands caught fire. But when they sold me to that bastard, that protection wore off and he was able to touch me. But by then I had increased my cultivation to the 10th stage of the earth spirit realm.
That bastard also had the same cultivation as me and he also had some low-level guards with him. They captured me and tied me up to a tree in the forest. But by chance, the sect masters were passing through there and they saved me. And you know the rest." Mia replied as she saw him change the robes but she averted her gaze after she stopped talking.
Kai as usual managed to maintain a neutral expression even though his insides were flaming with rage and anger.
"What were you doing in that forest?" Kai asked.
Mia hesitated and didn't answer which made him narrow his eyes. But instead, he said -
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't. Take your time and if you ever think about telling me, then I will listen."
Mia momentarily nodded and asked Kai to follow her. They zigzagged their way through the market, with Kai getting some strange looks. But that was a common thing.
Mia led him towards a huge mansion where two guards at the 10th stage at the sky spirit realm were keeping watch.
"We are simply going to enter the mansion and talk to them like normal people. Though after that, I am going to do many things to them." Kai replied as he walked towards the entrance.
Mia wanted to call him crazy but she had seen him do crazy things so she stayed quiet and followed him.
The guards moved to stop them but they froze in their places and their eyes got clouded. Kai and Mia entered the mansion without any problem as the guards woke up.
They didn't remember what they were doing and they got back to their posts. Inside the entrance, Kai and Mia reached the door of the mansion and opened it.
"Who are you?" A man asked as Kai and Mia entered the mansion.
He had a portly belly and looked like a man in his forties as he examined Mia and Kai. His gaze remained on Mia for a few minutes before he looked at Kai.
"I repeat who are you and what business do you have with the Chuchu family?" The man asked as Kai gave him an evil smile.
"We are here to talk with the Chuchu family." Kai said as the doors closed behind him and an unbearable pressure covered the entire place.
