After spending another few hours talking to Jiang Xia, he walked with her back to her residence before he bid her farewell.
Resting comfortably for the past couple hours helped to eliminate his fatigue, and although he was still low on Qi one of the main advantages of managing to open all 100 meridians is that your body automatically absorbs the ambient Qi around you as easily as breathing.
So although not 100% recovered, it was only a matter of time before he was.
'While I recover how about I do some shopping. I don't even have a shirt to wear anymore since Witney is constantly wearing it in the house and my pants are ruined from fighting on Planet Acrilles."
With a new activity planned he walked to one of the largest buildings in Outer Haven called Havensplace Shopping Centre. The Havensplace Shopping Centre was the largest mall in the Cloud Haven Sect with over 600 stores making it one of the main social hubs in Outer Haven. Normally this place would be bustling with people but because of the friendly competition taking place, it was nowhere near as busy as usual.
Vasari asked some of the employees standing around to guide him to a popular clothing store and they happily helped him.
"Thanks for the help." The employee in front of Vasari nodded and walked away.
'Maybe I should've come here with one of the girls.' Vasari thought after walking into the store. He heard background music playing on the speakers and the sounds of females chatting all around him. He was totally out of his element here and was contemplating if he should rather leave this for another time when he heard a smooth and alluring voice speak to him from his left.
"My gosh, Vasari I didn't expect to see you here. Are you perhaps looking for me~"
Vasari turned in the direction of the voice and the smell of vanilla and jasmine wafted into his nose.
'Two in one day. Today must be a lucky day.'
"Gia it's you. What are you doing here."
The erotic young women walked closer to Vasari until they were less than a metre apart.
"What do you think I'm doing here silly? I'm doing some shopping and you can only imagine my surprise when a tall and muscular man walks into the store looking like a lost mouse. Even though you're wearing this mask it can't hide your presence you know."
Gia slowly removes the mask covering his lower face and licks her lips in desire after seeing his confident smile that always and without fail managed to turn her on.
"Hehe you're right, I am feeling a bit lost here." Vasari admitted and 'looked' around the store before turning his attention back to Gia, "Do you mind helping me out?"
Gia smiled like a child opening presents on Christmas morning. "Of course, I don't mind. Who wouldn't want to spend time with you? What do you need help with?"
"I want to buy some casual clothes to wear around the house and under my sect robes."
Gia's eyes sparkled with a cunning light as an idea formed in her mind. She stepped closer to Vasari and started touching his chest before moving her soft and svelte hands across his chest to his shoulders and down his biceps.
"We will have to take some of your measurements to find clothes your size. Do you mind if I do it for you~?"
She stood on her tippy toes and whispered the last part seductively into his ear. Vasari felt her hot breath brush against his neck and her large breasts pressed against his chest.
"Sure." That was all he said but it was all Gia needed to hear before grabbing the collar of his sect robes lightly and led him into one of the changing rooms.
The changing room they were in was around 2.5m by 2.5m big which was barely large enough to fit the both of them.
"It would be easier to take your measurements with your clothes off."
"Okay."
Gia suppressed her smile even though she knew Vasari couldn't see. Her plan was working perfectly so far and her anticipation was constantly rising.
Getting his consent, Gia began removing his sect robe. She unfastened his robe belt and slowly pulled his robe down to reveal his clean-shaven chest and broad shoulders. She pulled the robe down even further, revealing abs that could be used to grate cheese and biceps, triceps and forearms filled with veins and muscles that she never knew existed before now.
Gia's eyes shamelessly roamed Vasari's upper body and unabashedly moved her hands across his pale ivory-like skin, cupping his pecks before squeezing his arms and rubbing her hands down his abs.
Vasari stood there with an amused smile on his face. 'She's even worse than Witney.'
"Is this a normal procedure when taking someone's measurements?"
Vasari's question snapped the aroused girl back to reality. Her caramel-like skin tone took on a pink hue from embarrassment but her voice remained smooth and seductive.
"No, I need to remove the bottom half of the robes too."
"If you say so."
Gia wasted no time and removed the lower half of his sect robe leaving him standing in the changing room wearing nothing but his underwear.
The first thing that Gia noticed was a large bulge protruding from his underwear. She licked her lips in arousal and desire exuded from her gaze.
Her little sister started tingling and the urge to jump on Vasari and have him take her right now plagued her thoughts.
However, she knew that she would not do that right now. Although she may act like a naughty seductress, she had morals and she didn't want her first time to be in the changing room of a clothing store. So she suppressed her desire as best she could and took out a measuring tape.
"Hold your arms out to the side."
Gia proceeded to take Vasari's measurements to get the perfect-sized clothes for Vasari. She measured his collar size, chest, sleeve, waist, inside leg, outside leg and centre back length.
She diligently did her job and got all the measurements she needed.
"Now that measuring is over, let's look for clothes you like before giving your measurements to the employees so that they can adjust the clothes for you."
"You're the expert here, I'm just following you."
"And don't you forget it~"
Vasari followed Gia outside the changing rooms and acted as her dress-up doll. Gia lead Vasari all over the store and made him try on too many outfits to count. She enjoyed dressing him up and seeing how he looked in different outfits.
Every single outfit he tried on looked amazing. His height coupled with his amazing body was just too perfect to look bad and even when she made him wear the most ridiculous outfits he still managed to look good. Of course, she did not miss the opportunity to take a few photos of Vasari to show the girls later.
––––
"Hmph, you're no fun."
Gia said while walking next to Vasari. They were just walking and talking in the mall after finishing up their business in the clothing store, Vasari carried a few bags filled with new clothes and Gia had a cute pout on her face.
"Don't tell me you're still upset about me not buying that ridiculous jacket."
"It's not ridiculous it's fashion and it looked great on you."
"I couldn't even move my arms properly. What if I had to fight for my life and I was wearing that jacket? I'd die an embarrassing death."
"But you would look good while doing so. The jacket is meant to be worn when attending special occasions or parties. You obviously wouldn't wear it to a fight."
"A fight can happen anywhere, anytime. You always have to be prepared."
"Ugh, men. Always thinking about fighting, is that all you think about."
"Well…that and women."
"Ugh!"
"Hahahaha!"
A tall young man wearing a mask, a piece of cloth covering his eyes and an exotic beauty that could stir the loins of any straight man, conversed and joked about as they walked around the shopping mall.
–––––
Voxotis.
An inconspicuous dwarf planet located near Noblia World, was home to both humans and beasts but compared to Noblia World it was incomparably weaker in terms of cultivation and technology.
The average cultivator on Voxotis was at the Yin-Yang Control stage while the elites barely reached the Nebula Realm.
Although Voxotis was a full-fledged planet it was small enough to fit on the Westernord Continent 8 times over and still have a little bit of room spare, this could also serve as a testament to how massive the Westernord Continent and the Noblia World, which had 8 continents of similar size to Westernord, was. Those in the higher echelon of the Cloud Haven Sect called this planet 'a farming planet' and it was this very planet that they lost control over not too long ago.
The sects of the Noblia World were strong enough and rich enough to colonise or purchase other planets and turn them into 'farming planets'. They mainly used these farming planets as training grounds, as cheap labour or as literal farms.
Voxotis was used as a cheap labour planet by the Cloud Haven Sect. The Cloud Haven Sect would cheaply employ whoever applied from Voxotis and make them work their socks off in the resource fields. Although the pay was considered cheap to those of the Cloud Haven Sect, those from Voxotis would kill for such resources.
At the moment The Church of Prasufis had hijacked the planet from the Cloud Haven Sect, they destroyed all of their spatial portals and built a formation to disable all the Manaphones on the planet so that nobody could contact anybody from Cloud Haven Sect.
Inside a giant hall of one of the many castles built on Voxotis, a gathering of hundreds of people took place. Every single person inside the hall wore pristine and elegant white robes of different designs. All these people were on their knees, their hands resting on their chest and they were all tilting their up with their eyes closed.
On an elevated stage at the end of the hall sat a single figure on a basic-looking white throne. This person had a Mitre Pretiosa placed on their head and wore plain white multi-layered robes.
"We fight for the mighty Prasufis!"
The figure on the throne shouted, their voice was feminine and carried the charm of a mature woman.
Those below her repeated her words while remaining in their weird praying positions.
"We live for the mighty Prasufis!"
"We die for the mighty Prasufis!"
The woman on the throne shouted and her words were instantly repeated by those below.
"Amen."
"AMEN!"
The woman said and everybody opened their eyes to look at the woman as they awaited her next words.
"I have gathered all of the followers of Prasufis currently on Voxotis here today not only to participate in prayer but also to discuss our plans moving forward. I have received word from those back on Westernord Continent that we can finally proceed with our objective. So starting today everybody will put in their all to find the tomb of the 12th General of the Great Spartan Army."
Everyone in the hall became excited after hearing such good news. The tomb of the 12th General of the Great Spartan Army was rumoured to be hidden somewhere on this planet, however, they were not 100% certain, but if it was, it meant they would find great fortune.
The Spartans were known for their superior cultivation techniques and their unique weapons that even the best blacksmiths of their Westernord continent would have trouble forging.
So to those in the Church of Prasufis, it was worth offending the Cloud Haven Sect if they could find this tomb.
"What are you all waiting around for!? Go and search for that damn tomb!"
The lady shouted at these daydreaming idiots who all scampered out of the hall like scared mice after getting scolded.
'Sigh…some peace. I can finally remove this stupid hat, it just makes my head itchy.' The woman on the throne took off the Mitre Pretiosa from her head and stored it in her spatial ring.
She looked at the ring around her left hand's ring finger with a gaze filled with overwhelming emotion. The ring wasn't a spatial ring like the one on her right hand, but a normal ring made from unique rocks only found on the Westernord Continent.
"Maybe I'll be able to finally move on and find a new love once I ransack and destroy the tomb of the man that murdered you."
The woman's gentle expression disappeared instantly and was replaced by a vicious expression and her grey eyes filled with unconcealed rage.
