Sana led Zahar to a field far out of the city, with her enhanced cultivation, moving such distances didn't tire her out at all.
The field was covered with grass, and it was quiet. The skies was filled with stars, and then Sana exchanged glances with her surprise visitor.
"So, if you can beat me, I'll agree. No tricks. No items. Pure cultivation ability."
Zahar laughed. "Oh! So you thought I had an artifact of some kind, correct? Common, common misconception and quite a popular type of fortuitous encounter."
Sana brought along a sword, while Zahar was just without a weapon. He smiled, looked around, and then, took off his shirt and pants. Sana's face turned red as she stared at the naked man. "What- what are you doing?"
"No items. See. I have absolutely nothing on me. I don't want you to claim I'm cheating."
"Fine fine fine! Put back your clothes!" Sana's face was beet red.
"Eh. I quite like fighting like this. It also helps transition to the second part of the fight."
"What- what would that be?" Sana held her sword in front of her, and in a fighting form.
"Sex. Of course. After a rough, intense fight where two fighters souls and exposed to each other, it's quite normal for the two to then engage in a round of intense fornication."
Sana's face paled. "No way! Put back your clothes!"
"Hah! Fine." Zahar wore his clothes, and then, he ripped off a blade of grass from the nearby patch of grass. He inserted some qi, and just suddenly, the grass transformed into a weapon.
Sana had never seen such a thing happen, so she was impressed. "Woah."
"Let us fight." Zahar's body was suddenly coated in a purple light, and a sudden thrust sent a directed energy blast. The force was so strong that Sana barely dodged it.
"What was that?!" Sana couldn't believe that attack came from a grass that he just picked up.
"Less talking." The blade of grass came down like a sword threatening to slice her in half. She parried it with the attack, but the force from the blade of grass was as if the entire world was behind it.
She felt an intense pressure throughout her body, and the ground around her legs began to crack. She swirled her strongest ability, and swung her sword in retaliation, a bright yellow flame shot out. It charred an entire crescent shape area in front of her.
But it didn't hit a thing.
"You don't have a single mote of cultivation aura. How?" Sana didn't believe it. Everything he did so far was so dense with energy that he had to be a cultivator.
He held the blade of grass, and then, the blade of grass transformed. "Those who leak their auras are wasteful. True power is silent, invisible. Like the world itself. We are LAWs, not creatures struggling against them."
The young mistress's sword suddenly shattered, as the blade of grass turned into a torrent of pressure. The blade of grass turned into sixteen grass needles, and then flew upwards.
She looked up, and just as suddenly, the intense pressure caused her to fall back onto the ground. The needles landed right at the edges of her body. Barely missing her ears, her skin, her legs.
"I win." Zahar landed next to her. She couldn't move.
She couldn't believe it. "What- what realm are you?"
"Currently, I believe the 7th stage of the first realm. Oh wait, 8th."
"I'm in the late 2nd realm!" How strong would he be at her realm?
"There's no density or weight to your process, just taking the appearances of power. So, I win?" Zahar offered a hand and lifted her up from the ground.
"Yes." Sana said. "What- what do you want from me?"
"Like I said, you'll be my maid. I'll get your resources, and I'll make you stronger along the way. I'll meet your friends, if I meet ladies I like, I'll add them to my army of maids. I'll make some of you my concubines, and you'll have my children."
Sana shook her head. "I'll need to talk to my father."
"Let us meet him together."
"-what." Sana panicked.
"If I'm to take you as my maid, I must speak to your father and your mother. That is the way, no?"
"I- I'm not ready."
"You never are." Zahar said.
"Give- give me a day, no, two days. I just need to prepare myself mentally."
"Fine, then you shall arrange a room for me in your mansion as your guests, and I want your cultivation resources."
Sana sighed. "Okay."
