Vasari quickly willed the wind around him to slow down his descent.
However even though he slowed his fall by a considerable amount, he was still falling too fast to land without getting injured.
'Come on, please be one nearby.'
Vasari performed a hand sign mid-air before removing his blindfold and quickly opening his eyes. This was an emergency so he held nothing back. He looked down and searched for something blue or green on the ground.
'Ahaha found one!' Vasari exclaimed in his head when he found a pool of water below him. Using his Advanced Will of Wind, he guided himself in the air until he was directly above the pool of water.
"Cannonball!!!"
*Splash!!*
'Ah fuck me it's not as deep as I hoped.' Vasari splashed into the water like a rocket, the water helped cushion his landing but his legs still crash into the surface of the pool causing him some discomfort.
"Ahhhh what was that!"
"Ahhh someone's in the pool!"
"Who is it? Which creep dares to spy on us!"
Vasari heard the voices of multiple women around him. 'My luck is really bad today.'
Sealing his eyes and equipping his blindfold, Vasari stood up and emerged from the pool of water. It was only now that he realised that the water was quite warm and steamy. He flicked his head back to get the hair out of his face and brushed it back with his hands after.
"…!"
"*Gasp!*"
"My goodness…"
Those surrounding the pool watched how the man slowly walked out of the pool with heated eyes. His plain white T-shirt clung tightly to his body highlighting his nigh God-like physique. His wet black tracksuit pants similarly clung tightly to his legs showing off his massive quads, large calves and the outline of his little brother. However, most of the attention was on his face which sent these spectator's hearts racing and their voices to be stuck in their throats.
Vasari could hear the breathing of 6 people near him which was not a difficult task considering they were breathing so heavily.
"Uh sorry to disturb you but can you please tell me where I am?"
Vasari equips an apologetic expression and scratches the back of his head while asking the question.
"Y-you're in the Aqua Poppy Sect. More specifically you're in the hot spring pool meant for inner disciples.", A pretty woman with wavy brown hair, hazel eyes and amber-like skin was the first to answer. She, just like the others, had nothing but a towel covering their bodies. Vasari noticed she had the highest cultivation from the group at the Elemental Manipulation stage.
'The Aqua Poppy Sect huh? They should be one of the top 4 sects on the planet if Elder Equus' information is correct.'
Vasari thought after rummaging through the information he had on the planet and the sects situated on it.
"Who are you and what are doing in our sect?" The words the woman wanted to say first finally managed to be said after her stupefaction wore off. However, there seemed to be no animosity, only weariness in her tone.
"My name is Vasari. My stupid grandfather played a silly prank on me and dropped me here. I didn't mean to intrude on your privacy.", Vasari could feel their scepticism after he told his made-up story. Sensing the awkward atmosphere he quickly tried to change the subject.
"May I know who I am talking to?"
"I'm Akira Kilgore from the Kilgore clan and an Inner disciple of the Aqua Poppy Sect. These 5 girls beside me are my junior sisters from the sect."
"I see. It's a pleasure to meet you, girls." Vasari greeted them with a charming smile that wooed the hearts of the young women.
"If I'm being honest Vasari, I don't trust you so I'm going to report you to my master and let him decide what to do. If you tell him the truth then you might not get into too much trouble." The five young women around Akira looked at her like as if asking what she was doing however she merely ignored them.
Vasari nodded his head and said with a sigh, "I understand your concern. Don't worry I won't make too much of a fuss."
"Thank you. Follow me."
"Ahh wait senior sister. Your clothes…"
Akira looks down and realised the towel covering her delicates had fallen to the ground without her noticing. She blushed slightly in shame and looked at Vasari to see his reaction but was disappointed by his lack of.
'So he really is blind. There is no way any man wouldn't react to my body. Not like I want him to see my body anyway.'
"Keep watch over him while I get changed. Don't let him leave." She ordered her junior sisters who seemed unusually happy about it.
Once Akira left for the changing rooms, the 5 other girls swarmed around Vasari like ants to sugar.
"Do you mind if I touch your body?"
"How did you get so handsome? Did you take some type of high-grade pill or something?"
"Do you have a girlfriend? If not, can I be your girlfriend? Even if you do have a girlfriend I don't mind sharing."
The 5 girls bombarded him with question after question barely giving him any time to answer. He felt multiple pairs of hands groping his arms, chest and abs. He even felt a daring hand touch his inner thigh but he stopped the hand from moving any higher. He didn't mind the girls touching his upper body but his little brother was off-limits, only his women were allowed there.
Vasari found their behaviour interesting. It was very different from what he was used to experiencing in the Cloud Haven Sect. The women there very rarely boldly approached him like what these girls were doing now. Was it a cultural difference or something else?
Maybe the difference in their attitudes was due to the low standards of cultivation on planet Voxotis. On Noblia World where the Cloud Haven sect was situated, the gap between those at the very bottom and those at the top was like comparing a dragon to an ant, while on planet Voxotis the gap was minuscule leading to the younger generation becoming cockier and cockier as they surpassed their seniors but this was all Vasari's speculation.
"What are you girls doing?! I said to watch him not sexually assault him."
The gropers jumped like frightened kittens. Backing away from Vasari, they turned to face their senior sister with guilty smiles and mischievous giggles.
"I'm sorry about that Vasari my junior sisters can be quite forward at times."
"Haha, no need to worry. I don't think there's any man I know who wouldn't enjoy the touch of beautiful women like your junior sisters."
"And how do you know if they are beautiful or not? Not to be rude, but you are blind, are you not?"
"Although I'm blind, I know the voice of a beauty when I hear one."
The 5 girls standing around him giggled like maidens in love causing Akira to roll her eyes in exasperation.
"Come, follow me, I'll escort you to my master."
Now that she changed back into her sect uniform which was a pink martial robe with a blue poppy embroidered on the back, she walked towards the exit.
With his clothes yet to fully dry, Vasari followed the assertive Akira with his ever-present confident smile and sloshy footsteps.
Vasari felt the atmosphere of the sect was also very different from the Cloud Haven Sect. Although many, many times smaller than Cloud Haven it felt more spacious due to there being a lot fewer people walking about. Vasari also noticed that there were no mounts or beast companions in the sect from what he could tell.
"I noticed there's not a lot of disciples in your sect. Is there a reason for that?"
Akira glanced back at Vasari who was walking steadily behind her.
"Most of the disciples and elders are searching for the lost tomb of some powerful cultivator."
"Oh wow, I didn't know that. Sounds fun."
"Really? You didn't know there's a lost tomb hidden somewhere on the planet even though the Church of Prasufis announced it to the whole world?"
'Ah, I messed up.'
"Haha my grandfather forced me to cultivate behind closed doors for a while so I'm a bit behind on current affairs."
"Oh, I see…"
Vasari felt like face-palming himself for slipping up, but what's done is done, and he can only learn from this and move forward.
Soon they arrived at their destination.
–––––
"Ah yes, Alejandro! Harder! Harder! Just like that!"
Sultry moans escaped the closed door Akira and Vasari were currently standing behind. Akira unhesitatingly knocked on the door which caused the moaning to come to an abrupt halt, and the dissatisfied grumblings of man sounded.
The door opened and a middle-aged man with dishevelled blonde hair and wearing nothing but shorts appeared with a disgruntled look on his face.
"What?" The man asked impatiently but when he saw who it was behind the door a cheeky smile crept to his lips.
"Ah, it's you Akira. Have you decided to join us today as well?"
"Master!" Akira shouts and looks behind to see Vasari with his eyebrows raised and mouth open in surprise. Seeing his disciple's frantic reaction the middle-aged man turns his attention to the tall young man standing behind her. His mind reeled in shock at the sight of this man who was just too handsome to accurately describe. After suppressing his shock he looked at Akira again.
"Akira, is this your new boyfriend? I'm sorry mister, but Akira is my disciple and has obligations to satisfy my needs, so we will have to share her."
Vasari did not know whether to laugh or cry. 'What is happening?'
"He is not my boyfriend! I brought him here because he fell from the sky and landed in our hot spring. I'm suspicious about his origins."
The elder stopped teasing his disciple and looked at Vasari seriously. His aura abruptly flared before he shot towards Vasari with murderous intentions.
Before Akira could react, her master flashed past her and used his strongest martial technique to attack Vasari.
"Eh?" A pathetic sound escaped the elder's lips when his body suddenly froze mid-air, a strong and sturdy hand clasped around his neck, making him unable to breathe.
"'Mister', do something like that again and I'll make sure you are buried underground without a head on your neck."
