Morning came. Anna, Eleanor, and Yuki have been hard at work choosing my clothing for the Shadowheart Sect banquet. I couldn't care less what people thought, but I guess my family here does…
"We can't let you go there looking like a rogue cultivator down on his luck! What are we here for if not to uplift your status and standing and make them think twice about crossing you?!" Yuki said as she saw my shabby-looking armor, brown pants, and white shirt.
"Eleanor! Why didn't protest his fashion sense back when you met?" Yuki asked. Eleanor could only embarrassingly look at me as she twiddled her thumbs.
"I-I d-didn't think it was my… place to… criticize his wardrobe choices…" Eleanor…
"You're his woman, Eleanor. You have the right as any one of us." Yuki held Eleanor's hand, smiling warmly at her.
Eleanor could only blush and smile in happiness. To be considered an equal to his other women…
To be honest… I never cared for fashion. And in this world cultivators wear these robes made of beast's fur and hair, as well as silk made by silkworm beasts. And the higher the cultivation of the beast the better the quality of the materials made from it.
"I think red would suit him well… what do you think, Yuki?" Eleanor said after much deliberation.
"I guess he would huh…" Yuki looked me up and down like I was a piece of meat… kind of hot coming from her…
"For now… you and Yuki should go and cultivate. Yuki, don't go easy on him." Anna said with her same old cold expression. Like we weren't wild animals under the sheets last night…
"Sure! Come with me, Yuki." I held Yuki's slender wrist and dragged her with me, she giggled as we exited my room.
I strolled by Edna and Nora's rooms. They were still cultivating since the barrier set up by a formation was still up.
I sighed as I walked to the mansion's backyard.
"Are we going to just cultivate…" Yuki saw my serious expression as we exited the mansion.
"Not only cultivate… we can also spar as well! Isn't that nice?" I smirked at my horny little vixen, only for her to cutely pout.
I chuckled at her cute expression, which earned me a cuter puffed cheek of hers.
I found Christina practicing her sword. She just glanced at us and continued her training. Nisha and Zinnia were sitting by watching Christina, looking bored out of their mind.
They perked up when they saw me, Zinnia even bowing in respect to me. Nisha even went and hugged me. I patted her head then went into another corner of the backyard.
"We're going to cultivate here, so don't disturb us unless necessary, Okay?" I told the girls, and they nodded in response.
I summoned two cushions and placed them opposite each other. I gestured to Yuki to sit.
"I didn't think you were this pressed for time, but I guess rescuing Sarah is a good excuse…" Yuki sat on the cushion in a lotus position. That tinge of jealousy didn't escape my ears.
"Yuki… if you were in her position… I would do the same. I cherish you… Yuki. I love you. Sarah confessed her love to me as well! And I… I want to get to the bottom of this. Please understand that just because im looking at other women that i'm neglecting you, Okay?" I caressed my Yuki's cheeks, earning me a cute pout.
"I know, Okay? Sarah is precious to me as well. I just like to act jealous sometimes, Okay? You should make it up to me when I do…" Yuki smiled as she couldn't make eye contact with me. I chuckled at her cute antics.
"Fine then. I'll make it up to, I promise." I said to her and returned to my seat.
Yuki slapped her cheeks lightly. Sitting in a lotus position, she started teaching the cultivation method of her Infernal Fox Manual. How it can be both destructive and illusive.
"Although my fire is unique, it can be used just like any type of fire. Take Nirvanic Flames for example. Phoenixes can use their fire to burn and to heal, even revive themselves or a loved one. The infernal Fox fire can also burn, but it can also disorient and act as a mirage. Illusion techniques can be used in tandem with our fire~." Yuki smiled widely at that, and I couldn't help but return that radiant smile of hers…
Yuki furrowed her brows a little "But I can't help but shake this feeling… That you trying to use fire and ice and comprehending it together could be detrimental to your cultivation… Are you sure you can handle them both? Even cultivating them at the same time?"
"Lest you forget, Yuki. As long as we comprehend and grow the Law Seeds within us, we can use Spirit Qi and Martial Energy to manifest these laws. It will be difficult, yes. But I believe it will be worth it in the long run. So don't be afraid of comprehending other laws." There's also the fact that my body houses a Mana core… using Mana, I can adjust my physique and meridians and even my Spirit core also known as Dantian.
That was why I can house an Ice seed and a Fire seed simultaneously in my Inner Sea.
"I understand… sometimes I wonder who is the older one between us. You must've been through a lot these past years, huh?" Yuki gazed at me with a sad and piteous look. I could only chuckle at that and look away for a bit.
"I guess you can say that… I met people and did a lot of things. Things that I'm not proud of. And things that I would have done again with no hesitation… But I'm all right now! I'm with my family. And I will become stronger… strong enough to bring Sarah back… to bring Olivia back…"
Maybe…
I'll find you, Kelly, and Jessica…
I will...
I will find out what really happened.
