Chapter 28 - Getting Closer
Chapter 28 – Getting Closer
Caizhi and Seth were now Soul Linked. As the contract procedures ended, Caizhi regained her consciousness on her real body.
"It's mystical." She could feel her connection with him and as she was entranced with the situation, an oppressive energy rushed inside her, forcing her body to accept all kind of energy she had absorbed as her own. Seth was adjusting her body's compatibility by force.
It would be impossible to do it if they weren't linked, because what he was using right now, was the tyrannical rule that the Seed of Tyranny had. Its energy entered her guided by Seth and subdued the cells that wouldn't accept the new rule, killing them or changing those who accepted their outcome, adapting her body in a super quick way.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
This process wouldn't go without pain. Seth didn't have any other way to save her, so he steeled his resolve and continued. Caizhi could already feel his intention through the link, so she endured it gritting her teeth.
Crack!
Finally, it was over. Caizhi had barely any energy to stand, so Seth ended up supporting her. Like that, they were getting closer to each other.
After the hurdle comes the reward. Caizhi felt her energy returning and getting stronger and stronger. Like that she broke through her bottleneck, something she wouldn't even dream of.
From Qi Gathering Realm late stage to…
Qi Gathering Realm peak stage…
Boom!
Her Qi got denser and stronger.
Profound Qi Realm initial stage…
Her energy kept accumulating and after ten minutes it finally stabilized, settling at the Profound Qi Realm middle stage.
After a brief moment of silence, she opened her eyes in shock, looking towards Seth.
"Monster." She uttered while laughing.
Through her link with him, she could perceive what actually happened. His strength helped her breaking through reaching the same realm of power as the current Royal Phoenix Princess Lilian.
"What realm of power are you in, to boost me this high? Unbelievable!" Caizhi knew he wasn't any older than her, but his strength was on another level.
"Ahahaha, Caizhi you are flattering me. Actually, I'm the one impressed with you. You were barely fourteen years old and had already reached the Qi Gathering Realm late stage. Your cultivation stilled after that and was the same until today, but it was no accident that you were hailed as a genius before."
"Now that my body is healed, I will do the best of my abilities to cultivate and serve you properly." Caizhi said while bowing.
"Hmm? No, I don't need a servant and I definitely don't want one either."
"???"
"We can start as friends." Seth tried to make a friendship, but what he didn't know was that he was bad at it as he hasn't had one before.
"You know… Even I know it is highly unlikely for a woman and a man to maintain a friend relationship for long, not turning it into something different later." Seth was Caizhi's savior, so from their first meeting she unconsciously developed some kind of feelings towards him, and after today it has just amplified.
Her indirect remark gave Seth the courage to proceed. They didn't need to voice their desires any longer, because the link between them could at least transmit their will and consent.
Seth approached Caizhi, that was hiding her nervousness as it would be a new experience for her, and caressed her hair, closing in the distance between them.
He took her half opened up lips and kissed them lightly, giving it little pecks from right to left. Their desires, surging like tidal waves marked the beginning of a fierce battle between their mouths.
Seth wasn't kissing for the first time, so he took the head of the situation, leading her tongue from left to right and then up and down with his own.
On the other side, Caizhi was enjoying being led by her crush. She lost track of time while doing that, and just like that five minutes turned into twenty.
Seth's desire was building up and it wouldn't take long for him to take this situation into the next step. Her lips were too smooth and sweet for him to handle it any longer.
The problem was… They have forgotten that the time flowed for the outside world as well.
Lilian got impatient after waiting for two hours and couldn't wait them any longer. She opened the formation to look at what was happening inside, but after entering she saw an unbelievable scene.
Her close friend was madly kissing the boy in front of her. 'Oh my god, I can't believe they asked me to open the formation to do these naughty things!'
Lilian couldn't talk for a long time and could only stay there watching their show. She was mad and couldn't believe what she was currently seeing, but at the same time, stranded by the scenario. How could she interrupt them without making the situation really embarrassing?
As Seth prepared to roam his hands everywhere on Caizhi's body, he heard: "Ahem!!!"
The duo hastily looked at Lilian, the one who made that sound. She was standing at the entrance door, blushing from ear to ear. Lilian didn't know what to say so she waited for their turn.
Caizhi started to blush even harder than Lilian now. 'Oh my god, how can I face Lilian now?'
Seth had to be the one to make the amends.
"Lilian, good timing, we have just finished our task. You got here just in time. Now we are already prepared to leave."
'Just in time??? I watched you kiss for ten whole minutes.' Lilian couldn't believe how thick his skin was.
Sigh…
"Let's head back, any more than this and we could be found by my father." Lilian opted to just leave it aside.
"Alright, let's head back."
When they were almost leaving, Seth finally heard a melodious voice from the one he was expecting to get berated from.
"Seth. I think I found a way for you to absorb Spirit energy!" Lexi excitedly shouted on his mind. She had been studying the way Caizhi's body reacted the entire time they were doing the contract, and after that, new insights dawned upon her.
"I need you to try this right now, or else I won't be enlightened enough to develop this method." Lexi passed some instructions to Seth and he knew it was something serious now.
Lexi was developing a brand-new cultivation technique, one that would at least change this world.
