--- Chapter 47 ---
Hayate was awake from his comfortable sleep and felt someone licking him.
He lazily yawned and saw Hong Guan nodding her redhead gently, giving his morning wood pleasure.
Hong Guan winked her eyes playfully and said, "I hope you enjoyed my morning greeting, young master~."
.
.
After a few moments, Hayate grunted a little and painted Hong Guan's mouth with his seed.
Hong Guan covered her mouth and easily stored some drops of his seed in several ceramic vials, which Hayate guessed for something.
"It's too strong for someone who barely had any resistance against my pheromone, Guan." He casually commented while stretching his upper body.
He meditated and added, "Don't use too much, or Heavenly Sword Villa's Mistress would become crazy."
Hayate utilized the diluted Absolute God Slaying Poison for his newest version of Miyabi Orochi. Usually, the pheromone he caused won't be a problem, but his condition wasn't the best.
He couldn't control the pheromone very well, causing several young ladies in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament to get swayed by his smell.
After all, Mating is an instinctual behavior of living creatures.
Hong Guan chuckled and responded, "I know."
"I experienced it myself."
Even though they weren't doing Dual Cultivation for too long last night, Hong Guan admitted her stamina horrendously consumed a lot.
Hong Guan's cultivation also increased because of excessive profound energy from Hayate's body merging with her veins.
'At this rate, I can break into the Tyrant Profound Realm in a few days.' She thought while sealing the vials with her profound energy.
Hayate's naked body displayed perfectly like a carved statue of a maiden's imagination, and Hong Guan noticed his injuries were healing quickly now.
The bruise had disappeared, leaving some scars on his chest and back.
Dullahan stabbed Hayate's chest with a shadowy spear and left horrifying scars. Anyway, he still survived with some debuff here and there.
"Young master, I'll leave this pill here," Hong Guan placed a small wooden box in front of him. "I have to take a bath first."
Hayate didn't respond to her words, which caused Hong Guan to giggle slightly. "Since we made quite a mess, Little Ghost might be annoyed." She continued while covering her body with a robe.
Hong Guan opened the door and saw Cang Yue sitting in a puddle of translucent liquid.
After watching Hayate and Hong Guan's wild moment, Cang Yue couldn't move her legs for an entire night. Her whole clothes absolutely were drenched in a nervous sweat.
The blue wind empire's princess was shocked with a hint of an eager look on her face.
Hong Guan raised Cang Yue's chin and asked, "Don't tell me you watched us?"
"I-I... Yes." Cang Yue answered while trying to dodge the red-haired lady's gaze.
Hong Guan was supposed to be her mother-in-law, but to think she has more than a maternal relationship with Hayate. No, it's clear from the beginning.
Their closeness is beyond normal boundaries.
"M-Madam, what kind of-." Cang Yue was about to ask about something.
"Sshh..." Hong Guan sealed Cang Yue's lips with her finger.
Their eyes met each other, and Cang Yue's heart of sword wavered. Her obsession for Hayate fell apart in front of this woman.
'She's more obsessed than me...' Cang Yue thought solemnly.
Hong Guan caressed Cang Yue's cheek and said, "Well, why don't we take a bath together?"
"I'll explain everything there." She smiled mischievously.
Cang Yue was dragged by Hong Guan to the bathroom, leaving a trail of wetness in the hallway.
Little Ghost appeared and frowned because she had cleaned this area before. She shook her head slightly and began to wipe the hallway again.
"Is the young master okay now?" She peeked through the gap in Hayate's room.
In the middle of the mess, Hayate was meditating with sweet vapor all over his body. His naked appearances made Little Ghost, who was supposed to be emotionless in her mission, breathe heavily.
Little Ghost disabled her sense of smell for a moment and cleaned Hayate's room quickly, cleaning some translucent liquids by wiping them with a clean rag.
After a few minutes, Little Ghost sighed in relief and proudly nodded her head. "It's clean now." She said while looking back at her master.
She kneeled and waited for Hayate to finish his morning meditation.
.
.
Hayate opened his eyes and said, "Good morning, Little Ghost."
"Mhm." Little Ghost responded with a nod.
He patted her gently and added, "Let's have breakfast."
Unlike other cultivators who have to clean themselves, Hayate used his profound art to keep his body clean. It's not an innate function but rather more convenient than using Kaiju Cores.
Hayate wore his robe and stepped onto the hallway, noticing it was cleaner.
He felt amused and commented, "Thank you for the hard work, Little Ghost."
"It's nothing..." She returned while feeling warm on her cheeks.
After breakfast, Hayate stared at the snowy morning sky and said, "My injuries are better now."
"15% recovery, it's effective." He raised his lips because the Perverted Dragon God's technique worked better than he expected.
"Hmm... Should we do it more?"
"Um, Hayate." Cang Yue suddenly sat beside him.
Hayate moved his gaze to her and asked, "Yes?"
The usual calm and reserved princess blushed like a ripe apple and approached his ears.
'Madam told me about your injuries.' She whispered to him.
'She said, I can help you.'
Hayate frowned because performing dual cultivation with Cang Yue wouldn't benefit him in any shape or form.
He had observed everything last night. Hong Guan's profound energy matched his energy and created a wave of rejuvenation in his Divine Beast's blood, leading to faster recovery.
Emperor Profound Realm was the most basic requirement to heal him. If Hayate did it with anyone under that level, they would be sucked dry and die out of vitality lost.
So it's a no-no for Cang Yue right now. Her reckless sacrifice would only give birth to low results.
Hayate stared at her face and flatly said, "No."
"EHHHHH!!" Cang Yue yelled with a dumbfounded look.
Xia Qingyue came to visit their residence and smelled something weird. She ignored it and approached her beloved brother's presence.
She heard someone yelling and saw Cang Yue pouting in front of Hayate. "I wanna do it too!" Say the shameless princess.
Hayate pushed her aside and replied, "No, it's too dangerous for you."
"I don't want to hurt people close to me." Hayate sighed because Hong Guan did something unnecessary again.
'Big Brother's annoyed looks, how cute~.' Xia Qingyue thought while grasping the wall.
Hayate ate the recovery pill and commented, "Don't stand there, Qingyue."
"I know you were there."
"Come here."
Xia Qingyue smiled and slowly walked to Hayate, giving him a tight bear hug. "I missed you so much, big brother." She said sadly.
"We met each other yesterday." He said casually.
"That's yesterday, but today is today!" Xia Qingyue returned while giving him an angry look. She puffed her cheeks like a squirrel and began to pout adorably.
If Xia Qingyue's victims saw her appearance right now, they would rub their eyes in disbelief.
There is no way this person is the same ice demon who tortured them!
Xia Qingyue sniffed something and asked, "Big brother, why do you smell so sweet?"
Her body reacted weirdly and felt tense yet warm for some reason.
Hayate patted her and replied, "Oh, it's the side effect of my drug."
"Don't worry about it," He added. "It will disappear soon."
"I see... I actually don't mind the smell at all." Xia Qingyue thought about something for a moment.
"It's quite pleasant for me."
"Is that so?" Hayate picked up the warm tea Little Ghost made for him and stared at the snowy morning sky again.
.
.
At the Burning Heaven Clan's venue, Yun Che swung his great sword and imagined Hayate's movement in his head.
Yun Che slashed upward and opened his eyes slowly. "For fuck sake, how could he move that fast!!" He grunted in frustration while stabbing the sword onto the ground.
"He's not even an Earth Profound Realm cultivator, but his body is beyond that."
"Just how many physical enhancing drugs have he used?"
Yun Che guessed Hayate's strength based on how he had fought so far and rumors. It's not the exactly correct way to observe someone. Yet, he can't help but doubt Silver Lake City's young master.
"Tch, just waits, you cheater," He mumbled. "I'll defeat you and take away the princess."
