Absolute Strengthening Technique

Many people from the a.s.sociation also attended the ceremony, but there was hardly any cultivators of Martial King 8th Grade and above. Among the Martial King"s below 7th Grade or below, Shen spotted an amazing couple. Alas, he didn"t get a chance to get acquainted with them.

Aside from that he sensed a group of people spying on Wenren Wushuang. He was perplexed, Wenren Wushuang didn"t do anything flashy to attract any attention but for some people to still keeping an eye on her... He was cautious the whole time but thankfully everything ended without any big problem.

Today was the day Shen planned to return Hundred Miles City. It wasn"t that he was paranoid to hurry but he must be present in front of Yu Ruyan on this new year.

Shen and Su Rou both walked side by side in the perimeter of the Su Clan. Both holding each others hands and walking as if they had no specific destination. Insects and birds filled the silent forest with their sharp noises.

Shen squeezed the palm of Su Rou on his, and said to her, "Su Rou, why not you come with me?"

"I can"t and don"t speak about staying... You saw enough of my pathetic side. I don"t want to show anymore." Su Rou sounded a little different than before. This incident changed her whole life and she probably won"t forget it for the rest of her life.

"Hey don"t talk like that. I"m your friend, your lover and your life-partner. I want to see your every side and want you to know me."

At Shen"s word, Su Rou only remained silent.

"I--, I"m sorry. I should have taken your family trouble more seriously. If only I did that the loss could have been way less than what happened."

"You"re wrong, Shen. Originally, I kept the whole matter a secret and didn"t expect it to be this severe either. You made me talk about it and made the decision to come here. You didn"t only emotionally support me but also saved my father. If it wasn"t for you, I wouldn"t have been be able to reach my clan in time. Who knows by the time I had any contacts my family might have been in ruins. Please know that you did more than enough and I can"t ask for more." Su Rou said every words with her true feelings.

Shen remained silent for a moment before finally nodding and walking ahead.

Su Rou added, "Besides, thanks to you, our main family suffered minimal damage and every elders remained safe, except second uncle... Ah!! I"m completely fine. I already got past it and such an occurrence is pretty common in our life. I was sad that something like this happened for such an insignificant matter. If it"s not for Father"s fruitful encounter, this time we would have perished."

"Fruitful Encounter?" Shen revealed his confusion.

"Yes, two years ago father chanced upon a mysterious fruit which enabled him to breakthrough several realms at once! That was also the reason father had such a high cultivation base. From his initial Fourth Grade Martial King realm he achieved breakthrough to the peak of Eighth Grade Martial King!" Su Rou excitedly explained as if she already got past the previous event already.

Shen suddenly turned around and pinned her on the nearest tree, "RouRou, don"t act tough in front of me. Your smile is stiff. You"re averting my gaze. Do you think you can lie to me whenever you seem feel?"

"Shen, I--, I just didn"t want you to worry for me"—

"Of course, I"ll be worried, you idiot! You think you can stop me worrying just with your fake smile?! It only saddens me if nothing else!"

Su Rou kept gazing at his eyes. She didn"t want to trouble this man any longer. Why won"t he understand that? But knowing that her actions only caused him to feel sad, she realized something important. She knew that it was impossible for Shen to not involve in her matter and worries.

That was because she already belonged to him!

"But, Shen,"—

Su Rou wanted to protest again but before anything else Shen sealed her lips with his. His tongue gently touched hers as they moved in an ordered fashion. Shen"s every move was gentle and light, causing a numbing sensation to spread through her brain.

"Mmm, stop..." Su Rou only muttered vocal resistance but her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer and making their kiss deeper.

Shen and Su Rou engrossed themselves in each others taste as seconds turned into minutes and they kept going at it for half an hour. Like the saying, the bigger the crack, the harder it is to fill.

When they finally stopped both of them panted for breath heavily. Su Rou literally slumped on the tree. If Shen removed his support, she would be sitting on the ground now.

Both stared at each other for a while before breaking into an understanding smile. Shen caressed her hairs and supported her. Both of them started walking towards Su Rou"s villa.

"Shen, how long until you are back again?" Su Rou hugged Shen"s left arm with her cleavage and sweetly said.

"Three--, no make it four months, but I"ll try to keep it shorter. And there"s another thing, RouRou. Although, I trust you, I still need you to promise me one thing that you will not do anything which will put you in danger. Do you accept?"

Su Rou sighed with sweet feelings in her heart, "Yes! I, Su Rou, promise with the heaven and earth as my witness"—

Shen interrupted Su Rou, "Alright, stop there. I want you to promise on my name. Not the the heaven and earth. Am I clear?"

"That"s not gonna work..." Su Rou protested but stopped by Shen"s "you do it or" gaze, "I, Su Rou, pledge on the name of my lover, Shen, that I shall avoid doing anything that will put my life in danger for the next three months unless it"s a matter of life and death."

"Wow, that was meticulous. Were you always that sharp?" Shen was amazed by her choice of words. She basically meant or threatened if Shen didn"t return within the next three months, then she can do anything. In case anything goes wrong, she even left a back way for her. It just indicated how much she hated the idea of making a promise on Shen"s name.

"I"ll take it as a praise. Oh, did I tell you that your eyes are especially charming?" Su Rou laughed sweetly and pecked on Shen"s cheek.

"Don"t joke. Isn"t my whole existence charming?"

Shen joked as they reached Su Rou"s villa while flirting and kissing each others. The black bird was lazing there with Mingyue Gelou being just beside it.

"Ah, did I tell you that I am going to leave QingQing with you?"

"Huh, that"s new to me..."

"Well, you know it now. Take care of her properly," Shen pa.s.sed a small porcelain bottle to Su Rou, "Take this every 24 hours. It will increase your cultivation speed by a certain amount."

"Shen, is this Spirit Concentrating Pills?!" Su Rou expectantly said. As someone from the Capital of Greencloud Continent she experienced the effects of this pill. She instantly knew the pill from its color and effects described by Shen. Although it looked a little different but the effects were enough to let her forget about it. It"s a shame though, you can only hope for this item and not find it.

Shen took out another bottle and pa.s.sed it to her, "Yes, there"s a hundred pills in your bottle but I only gave QingQing fifty. When she runs out give her this one."

"But Shen, isn"t this pill precious. Like, really precious? You should keep them to yourselves."

"It"s all good. I have enough for me. Just focus on getting stronger in these few months and I"ll be back before you know it. Ah, please train QingQing for me, or you can also find an instructor who is good with spears." Shen suddenly neared Su Rou and whispered, "Choose a "trusted" instructor."

"Alright, I think I have someone who matches your requirements," Su Rou nodded in understanding.

Mingyue Gelou noticed Shen and said out as if she was waiting for him, "Shen, we are already prepared, when do we depart?"

"Soon, let"s meet Su Rou"s parent first." just as Shen finished saying, Su Rou"s father and mother came into Mingyue Gelou"s vision.

Su Rou"s father, Su Tong, currently had a feeble aura around him. Due to the side effect of the Incomplete Revitalizing Pill, he was no different from a mortal. Shen liked the man personally. He had two concubines other than his first wife and all of them were equally beautiful. What caused him to like this man was his two concubines, in real are twin sisters! He had nothing but respect for this man.

The woman by Su Tong"s side was his wife, also Su Rou"s biological mother, Qian Ron. She was beautiful and charming woman. With moderate chest and b.u.t.tocks, she seemed like a reserved kind of woman, a bit similar to Su Rou. Shen dawned in realization that Su Rou got her gene"s from her, so he, like an intelligent man, dropped the hope of her having a sudden growth in those areas.

"Uncle Tong, Aunt Ron, it"s nice to meet you again."

Both Su Tong and Qian Ron nodded lightly.

Su Tong gazed at Shen"s eyes as he determinedly spoke, "I heard that you are going back. I already know that we cannot repay for what you did for us, but still, if there"s anything I can do to repay even a small part of that favor, I won"t hesitate."

"Uncle Tong, please don"t say such thing. I"m still weak and couldn"t save the everyone..."

"Haha, don"t be so hard on yourself, you have done more than enough. I have already heard everything from Xiao Rou. Don"t be reserved and ask anything you wish!"

Shen thought for awhile as if he was thinking through a lot. "Since you"re insisting so much I won"t reject. My family is going to move here in the capital. Do you think you can arrange a big and comfortable for us." Shen paused for a moment and seeing Su Tong nodding, he let out a relieved sigh, "Since Father-in-law agreed to take care of it. I can be rest a.s.sured. I hope we will see each other in three months."

Shen jumped up on top of the black bird and Mingyue Gelou followed suit. Wenren Wushuang was already waiting on top of the bird. All three waved at the same time as the big bird flew on the sky at high speed.

Su Tong and Qian Ron was frozen in their place. Considering Su Rou inviting a man to their villa, Su Tong already expected them to have some ambiguous relationship, but still he didn"t consider Shen to be so daring and their relation to progress this far. Su Rou on the other hand was already blushing hard. She cursed him silently for being so shameless and for the coming troubles...

...

A few month ago, right after Shen left Hundred Miles City

In a certain room, a young man could be seen hitting a wall with an unsatisfied and unwilling face.

"I won"t back down! I, Situ Bufan, will never back down!! They were originally mine! How can I let them be taken by an outsider like that s.h.i.t!!!" Situ Bufan shouted in indignation. Ever since that shameless guy started showing himself on Hundred Miles City, nothing went according to his way.

Not only did Shen s.n.a.t.c.hed away his freedom, he also stole the heart of every beautiful women. Worst of all, Situ Bufan could never defeat Shen. He also had the protection of a peak Xiantian expert!

"But Young Master, we can do nothing against him. On top of that he also achieved the legendary Xiantian state." a middle-aged man respectfully said.

"I"ve decided I will make his life miserable. Bring out the portraits on the seventh drawer and a beast skin paper and ink." Situ Bufan ordered with a ferocious face. He was meek for long, now its time he takes his rightful position.

"As you wish, Young Master."

The man respectfully obliged the orders from Siti Bufan and presented the asked items in front of him.

Situ Bufan wrote a letter while considering many aspects, yet it didn"t take long for him to finish it.

"Send this letter  to Luo Pian. He is currently in the Dawning Sun City."

Luo Pian was from a branch family of Demonic Beast Clan. Due to fate he got the chance to know him once, but ever since then, they hardly had any contact. Situ Bufan however didn"t doubt that he will help him, that"s because Luo Pian was known as a huge womanizer.

Just a month later Luo Pian got the letter of Situ Bufan. He didn"t even remember who Situ Bufan was but that didn"t matter as he saw the portraits.

Those were the portraits of Yu Ruyan, Lingshuang, Wenren Wushuang, Wenren Wugou and all the beauties Shen was interested in!

Just their portraits were enough to get him hard rock, he couldn"t wait to get his hands on them.

That night he couldn"t sleep even after bedding three women. They were just lacking no matter how much he tried to compromise. He wanted to head for Hundred Miles City right away but there was a problem. The best among the portraits, Yu Ruyan, was a Peak Xiantian expert. If he wanted to tame her, he needed at least a Martial King"s help, but if he did that the women won"t be exclusive for him anymore. Still, he couldn"t dominate her alone either.

"f.u.c.k it. I will get that b.i.t.c.h no matter what. That Bufan kid only wants Shi Qingzheng named girl. She looks cold but I wonder how she feels at bed. Hehe, I will consider his offer if she sucks in bed."

Situ Bufan only wished to get Shi Qingzheng, he madly desired her from a long time. Although, he desired Yu Ruyan, he knew when outer help comes they will definitely not leave her and he won"t be able to tame a peak Xiantian expert either. So, he decided to go for something more feasible, Shi Qingzheng.

Luo Pian grabbed his robe and headed for the nearest city. He didn"t have a friend there, but he knew someone who could help him!

...

Half a month later

"Brother Zhou, what do you think of my offer?"

"Honestly speaking Brother Luo, no matter how I see it, I am in the losing end."

"Don"t joke. Considering how I"m giving you all the information I should get this much advantage, no?"

"In these few days I"ve learnt your preferences. You like aged and experienced women. How about this, along with that Yu Ruyan, you can take Feng Wuxi. Is that satisfactory? Don"t forget I"m taking a Martial King with me, I also have to take care of his needs."

"...It can"t be helped then. Although I"m losing, I can only accept your offer."

Luo Pian was smug inwardly. He didn"t hope this meeting to go this well. He liked mature type of women and Yu Ruyan was his top desire. Getting Feng Wuxi was plus point!

Pong Zhou on the other hand had completely different thoughts. He was a inner disciple of the Joyous Sect. He was only a few steps away from the core disciple position and only with enough contributions can he become one. Looking at the portraits given by Luo Pian, he knew exactly how to become a core disciple.

Give him Yu Ruyan and Feng Wuxi? He might be willing to let Feng Wuxi go for contribution points, but not Yu Ruyan! He never saw a woman so beautiful as Yu Ruyan! And even if got the chance to make connection with next head of the Joyous Sect, he wouldn"t let go of Yu Ruyan.

As for Luo Pian, who cares about such an useless bunch. He was only worried about how to take care of that Martial King expert with him...
