Chapter 96 - Married Couple

~~Inside the bedroom~~

"I'm taking a trip. There is a place I need to go to gain some more insight." I said, quite bluntly. I had been gone for several weeks this time and I wanted to tease Huo Lei a little bit.

"Wait, you have to leave again? So soon… We haven't had any time to spend together yet." Huo Lei said, drooping her tails down a bit and a half frown came across her face.

"I do, there are plenty of reasons why. But right now it is because I need to get stronger. How can I protect this place with my current strength? If an Origin King shows up, it's fine. But what if it's a Dao Source or even an Emperor? I am not confident enough in my current strength for those scenarios. Please understand, I really do have to go on this trip." I said, trying to persuade her while continuing to tease her.

"I understand it's so you can become stronger to protect everyone here." Huo Lei said, as her tails dropped further. "Even still! IT'S NOT FAIR!! I wanted to spend time with you!" Huo Lei said, spiking her tails out and pouting with her arms stretched downward, and curled fist outward. She was quite upset about this.

I pulled out a gift box and handed it to her. "Please, take this as my apology for this. I promise that I will make this up to you one day." I said, patting her on the head.

Huo Lei opened the gift box to see a beautiful dress. "This it's beautiful! It even gives off the aura of the Sky! It's perfect for me! I'm going to try it right now!" She said, with a completely different tone from before.

Huo Lei stripped down from her old clothes with a speed that rivaled the fights of Saint Realms. It was clear that she had been incredibly excited. Being given a gift like this pretty much assured her position of being my wife in the future.

That said I still had to ask. "Dear, why would you strip down naked just like that?" I sighed.

"Silly, with this gift you've given me I am secured in the spot of being your wife in the future. I wonder how many kids we will have together?" Huo Lei said tapping her chin and placing her other hand on her hip and stood there standing with allure.

After thinking for a while she turned her head and smiled at me with a smile that could easily be seen through. She was plotting something. She started walking towards me slowly. She then stretched her arms up high after flipping her hair behind her back. Completely revealing her whole body. She was incredibly beautiful. She would be the envy of many women. And with her tails she could manage to pull off several new things other women just simply wouldn't be capable of competing against.

Huo Lei used two of her tails to gently jiggle her breasts while she walked towards me. "We are already in our room and I'm already naked. Won't you take care of me?" She whispered in my ear, pushing me down onto the bed.

It was as if in front of this woman my strength was being sapped. No, that wasn't the case. It was more like every fiber of my being was telling me to indulge. For the two of us to enjoy each other's intimate company. She then sat up on my waist holding my hand against her breast. One look at her and it was clear she had been holding back for a long time. Fortunately, I am a powerful cultivator and can resist…

No, just kidding… I reached up with my other arm and wrapped it around her. Pulling her down close to me and kissing her. There was no longer a need for words at this point. And for the next day the two of us spent the whole time in our bed.

The day after. Huo Lei put the new dress on. I on the other hand braced myself for the eventual and inevitable comments from Fang Qing later on. She is currently rolling around and laughing inside my Knowledge Sea.

"Husband, would you mind helping me change my hair?" Huo Lei asked, with a new found joy and emphasis on the word husband.

I nodded and helped her fix her hair a certain way. The two of us looked into the mirror. What we saw staring back at us was no longer a betrothed couple. I took notice of just how well Huo Lei pulled off the dress I gave her.

"Husband? What are you thinking about? I love how we look together." She asked, resting her head against my body while maintaining her eyes forward in the mirror.

"We really do. Though I feel you are the one bringing up the good looks here." I said.

"What? No way, Husband is an incredibly handsome man." Huo Lei quickly fired back knowing that I was teasing a little just then.

"I mean it. With the way you look in that dress… And how it matches your hair and your beautiful sparkling eyes. I can not hope to compete." I said, placing a hand on her shoulder and giving her a gentle rub.

"Then let's find someone to get you a great outfit to wear." Huo Lei said, smiling at the thought of a shopping date.

"And after that, let's find a painter. I want this image captured to perfection. Fortunately I think I know just the person for the job." I said, getting her more excited. Huo Lei had a hard time keeping her emotions hidden. Her tails would give her away almost if not immediately.

"That sounds like a lot of fun, Husband! Let's do it!" Huo Lei said, turning around and pressing against me.

"Speaking of doing things. I'd like for you to come with me this time. I will bring you to a place where the Dao of Thunder and the might of the Sky is vast and powerful." I said, inviting her to come with me while I gently caressed her cheek with the back of my hand.

"Really! Yes, Yes! I would love to go with you!" Huo Lei said, happily and full of energy. Her tails wagging in excitement. And then nuzzled close. The two of us stood there for a moment, my arms now wrapped around her and holding her tight.
