Absolute Strengthening Technique 125 Tying Loose Ends

As another dawn approached, Shen's eyes jerked open. Feeling his movement, Mingyue Gelou snuggled on his chest.

"Did I wake you up?" Shen caressed her b.u.t.tocks as he gently teased.

Mingyue Gelou squinted, "Mm-hm, I was about to get up anyway..." Noticing Shen's wolfy paws heading towards her secret place, she pursed her lips and added, "S-Shen, not anymore. Elder sis should be already home."

"Hm~ Ruyan? She was outside?" Shen asked, genuinely surprised. His last knowledge of Ruyan was inside the Mortal Realm, to think she left it without him realizing. He couldn't understand... then he realized, she must have left when he entered the Immortal Realm last morning.

"Yes, she went to Night Fragrance Court- Ah! Why is it getting bigger?! I really can't anymore~" Mingyue Gelou yelped feeling something between her thighs getting bigger and hotter.

"Ah, I was just kidding." He turned her body and her back touched his chest. The hand on her b.u.t.t s.h.i.+fted to b.r.e.a.s.t.s and molded them in various shapes. While feeling indescribable softness, he questioned something which concerned him lately, "Right, do you know what ShaungShuang is doing? I hardly get to see her after that day."

'Is it because the kiss was too strong?' Shen mused.

He could only think of that as a reason. After all, since that event, he started to see her less and less. 'Wait, doesn't that sound bad? I mean real bad.'

"I heard from Elder sis that she has been like that since last month. I wanted to ask her about it but didn't get the chance to." Mingyue Gelou recounted everything she knew. Slapping Shen's wolfy paws away she chided coquettishly, "Will you stop now..."

"Hmm... so it's probably not related?" Shen absentmindedly said.

Mingyue Gelou couldn't make head and tails of his words so she asked back, "Not related?"

"Ah, nothing." Shen shook his head, his hands attacked her twin peaks again.

Mingyue Gelou resisted at her full might and unknowingly dealt a fatal blow, "Do you think she got someone she likes?"

The hands attacking the twin peaks... no, the whole body of Shen froze in place. Her attack was so mighty that even his eyes didn't blink.

Mingyue Gelou once again tried to remove his hand but they were so hard that she couldn't even budge a millimeter. It even started to hurt her a little. She told him to cut it off but got no reaction from him. Only when she nudged her face onto his did he wake up.

Shen was completely awake now. The morning daze and romantic mood completely vanished from his head. He let go of Mingyue Gelou and quickly got dressed.

"Right, Gelou." Attracting her gaze, he hinted to her. "Although we won't be leaving for life, I can't say when we will return again. If you have some things to deal with, you should take care of it by today. You know how Ruyan can be, so..."

Knowing what he meant, Mingyue Gelou nodded and smiled. There were too many people who took care of her for the last three years. Since they will be leaving for an uncertain amount of time, it would be impolite to leave without a farewell.

After reminding her, Shen mechanically left the room.

"Hm, you look awful even after a pleasing night."

Just when he was about to leave the villa, a voice interrupted him.

Turning around, he found Yu Ruyan. Surrounded by misty fogs, she exuded a mysterious charm while sipping on her tea.

Shen replied blandly as he took a seat opposite to her, "Nothing much."

Yu Ruyan took out a cup and poured tea for him. Her elegant movements flowed naturally even when she pushed the cup to him. Her eyes met his, "Right, you should take your time to visit the Night Fragrance Court."

"Oh?" Shen brows shot up, "I thought you would need a good amount of time."

"Well, you know desperate time needs desperate measures."

"Heh~ I don't think our situation is desperate though. You could really take your time... so when do you plan to leave?"

"At earliest tomorrow, at the latest three days from now."

"Owah, wait wait. That wouldn't be possible. Let alone Qingzhuang, I don't know about Wuxi either. Three would be really hard."

"Hoh, I never knew Miss Feng Wuxi planned to come with you as well. Hm, did I underestimate your charm?" Yu Ruyan playfully mused while fiddling with her teaspoon.

"Yes, but no worries you can still fall deeper for me."

"Arrogant, aren't we? But unfortunately, you still don't have that much charm." Her amused smile turned quite seductive.

"Hmph!" Shen snorted and got up. He knew she was only teasing him but it still irritated him. He wanted to leave but stopped. "Right, do you know what ShuangShaung is doing?"

"Hmm~ she got a friend. A good friend actually. She hardly returns anymore. I was worried she would never get a friend thanks to a certain someone, but thankfully you left her alone."

"Oh, so who is that friend?" He wanted to add 'is it a girl or a guy?' but decided not to.

"I wonder~"

Shen said no more. From her tone, he understood his intention was already caught on. Inquiring further would only give her another chance to make fun of him.

He wondered whether there was anything else, and indeed. It was something he was unsure of whether to do it or not. He thought his face wasn't thick enough but since he will leave the city, it might not matter. He was a bit running away, but it couldn't be helped. Things like these were something he was unsure of how to take care of even after his two lives worth of time.

He summoned many things from the Immortal Realm and stacked them on top of the table. In no time a small mountain of precious items sat on the table.

Yu Ruyan was taken aback but let nothing transpire on her face. Only throwing him a questioning look. She could recognize some of them as treasures in the whole Greencloud Continent. Rare and precious materials only available to some high-level families.

"Err... do you think you can send them to Yu and s.h.i.+ clan?"

A sudden realization hit Yu Ruyan, "Aha, sure will do... never thought you were thick-skinned enough to ask me that."

"Ah, I am trying to be... thick-skinned..." Shen replied, his tone a bit low.

"I see. Sure. You don't want to send any to Feng Clan?"

"I don't think I am thick-skinned enough to do that..." Shen felt bad, but Feng Wuxi was a Clan Head. While he could be thick-skinned, she had to maintain a certain amount of prestige.

"Good choice, being thick-skinned isn't pa.s.s to all situations." Yu Ruyan swept away the treasures inside her interspatial silk sachet only to find the broken teapot.

"..."

Before Yu Ruyan could say anything Shen had already left the villa.

"Right, Gelou has already relayed everything to the s.h.i.+ girl, so you don't have to worry about her. You might want to take care of things which will take longer."

As he left the villa, Yu Ruyan's voice echoed inside his mind. He indeed wanted to go to s.h.i.+ Qingzhuang's place and remind her of the departure, but since it was already done he could only change his course.

He thought for a while and first went to Yu Clan. Yu He's grandfather, Yu Donghao, had yet to get better. While his Dantian was healed, with his old age, the dried meridians would take forever to recover.

Shen found Yu Donghao rather easily. Since the sun barely rose in the distance, Shen avoided the guards and directly entered Yu Donghao's courtyard. Only to find the old man practicing a fist technique.

Yu Donghao now had a vitality unbecoming of his old age. He looked no different from a man in his early forties. It seems he followed the instructions and took medicines properly. Still, Shen treated him with his acupuncture technique just in case.

When everything was done Shen quietly said, "Grandpa Yu, today I have sent some gifts. It might not be much but I hope you can accept them."

Yu Donghao got up from the bed. Shen could see his face. A mixture of happiness and remorse spread on his face. "Haha, even if you send me empty boxes, I dare not reject them. Once she hears what I did, I doubt this old man would be hated. Alas, if only she was here today. She would've been incomparably happy."

Shen nodded. He understood Yu He a lot better. He knew what she could think, but small actions weren't really enough to let her be at ease. So he let her what she wanted to do. When they will meet next time, he was sure things would be different. They both will change, whether for bad or good, but he was sure. The love between them will only get stronger.

"If someday the Yu family needed any help, please use this." He explained he had to leave Hundred Miles City and gave them a "Cloudflame Cylinder".

Shen had received three Cloudflame Cylinder from Baili Jingwei. It was something similar to a lifesaving signal cylinder from the "Heavenly Sword Sect". While Baili Jingwei knew there would be nothing the Heavenly Sword Sect could help Shen with. But he could distribute them as favors.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Sword Sect only had influence inside the Cang Lang County. Shen, who would leave for Greencloud City, had no use of these anyway.

As Shen felt he had done everything he politely bade farewell and left for another direction.

...

As the morning fog cleared away more and more people woke up. The silent city once again filled with life. Cultivators mediated and practiced their techniques.

In a certain backyard, a woman in her early thirties practiced a strange technique. Her body moved and hands both moved slowly, her movement barely had any rhythm. Sometimes, her hand moved fast but her feets slow and if her hand moved slowly, her feet didn't.

However, fast or slow, even though it looked like she had barely put any strength on her feet, the ground still caved in without equal. Her body sweated furiously as if she was carrying a whole mountain on her shoulders. Her wet, sky-blue dress which stuck along with her curves, faintly exposed her skin.

Yet, her breathing was calm. She persisted as long as her body allowed her to. Finally failing to even move her muscles, she collapsed.

At least, she was about to, when another body supported her. She was already about to faint but the sudden presence of another person jolted her awake. Even if she remained clear-headed, she could barely move her body.

"Little Wuxi, you can rest first."

She wanted to turn and see who dared to touch her body, but a whisper caused her to halt. Even though she could hardly make out the owner of the voice, the words, there was only one person who would call her 'Little Wuxi.'

"Rascal, say it if you are there," she murmured while leaning on his chest. It was the warmth she couldn't get more familiar with.

When Feng Wuxi woke up from her tired sleep, the sun shone brightly in the sky. She found herself under the shade of a tree, in the arms of her beloved.

He looked lost and distracted but she smiled because his gaze was on her. He was lost in her. Smiling, she touched his cheek, dragging him out of his stupor.

She leaned on his chest, only to find it soaked with her sweat. Still, she didn't mind, resting comfortably in peace. There were many she thought to complain after meeting him next time but now that she did, she felt no desire to complain.

"Sorry. I was in the closed door."

Despite Feng Wuxi not saying anything, he apologized. Suddenly disappearing after staying with her seven days and night straight. He felt it was quite rude of him but he also hadn't done so intentionally.

Feng Wuxi only nudged her head, indicating she didn't mind. She wanted to speak but was too tired and comfortable at the same time to utter anything. She cultivated Shen's One Nurturing Will, while it was demanding, her foundation which was quite messy due to her previous clogged meridians strengthening significantly. And every time after practice her whole body felt comfortable for a long time as the tiredness magically disappeared.

Shen slightly repositioned her on his lap. Her face slightly above his, Feng Wuxi also wrapped her hand on his neck in return. She couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "You really like this position-"

"Foolish question." Shen cut her off smugly, "Of course, I do."

Who wouldn't like it when a peerless beauty filled their vision. Especially when they were at a position where he could enjoy both her twin peaks, along with her neck and beautiful face. Indeed, the marvels of this position was without any equal.

Shen pressed his face on her cleavage and deeply inhaled her scent.

"Cut that out, I sweated too much just now."

"Isn't that better? Your scent is thick enough that I wanna suffocate."

"Rascal!" Feng Wuxi blushed deeply and cursed under her breath. These familiar sweet feelings were just too addicting for her to forget.

"Hmm~" Shen made a pleased sound, "Since I'm a rascal, I shall act like one."

Shen declared. The arms wrapping around her waist tightened. Her soft twin peaks firmly pressed on his chest. Their faces got increasingly closer. They both felt the breath of the other.

"Stop, stop!" Feng Wuxi protested, "It's morning, someone might see us."

"Let them see, I'll just have to silence them for eyeing my beauty."

"Hmph! You want to kill my clansman?" turning her face, she snorted.

"If they are your clansman just tell them not to see anything. Aren't you the Clan Head?"

"Sorry, but not anymore. The Feng Clan won't accept your unreasonable requests."

"Woah, when did you do that?"

"Everything was taken care of last week. Now even without me Feng Clan can prosper."

"Right, there was that... I sent dowry to s.h.i.+ and Yu Clan... it's just..."

"You didn't send them to Feng Clan, did you?"

"Ahh, I will immediately arrange them."

"Wait, what? I mean things will be complicated then. Let alone the fact I will be leaving with you soon and if you send dowry just before that... Ugh, I can't think how people would look at Feng Clan then." Feng Wuxi grimaced, thinking of the things Feng Clan had to face if Shen really did that.

"alright." Shen also thought of something similar but still he decided to give her the dowry personally. Reminded by something, he asked, "Right, will Xishui also go with you?"

"That... I'm not sure. You remember telling me to let her meet Qing Shui?" Indeed, after Shen left 'seclusion', he met Feng Wuxi in Qing Village. It was then he told her they might be a good match. "I was hesitant but still let them meet. I don't know what happened but from then on she started to disappear more and more often. It was only during the ceremony two days ago did I find her with that brat. Now she is like a single ent.i.ty with him and can't be separated."

"Oh, you mean like us?"

Feng Wuxi was speechless. She wanted to retort but indeed they were stuck together. Even if she wished to separate, she couldn't do so.

Helpless, she sighed, "I mean, I can't believe it even now. She couldn't stand the sight of any man and it wasn't even two weeks before he was like a world to her-"

"I think it's normal."

"It is?"

"Yup, hmm... it might sound like I am full of myself, but what am I to you?"

He might look like someone asking a question but to anyone who heard it, they can obviously see that he meant he was a world to her.

Her World.

To anyone else it might seem he was too full of himself, but Feng Wuxi didn't retort. She couldn't.

Still unsatisfied, she wanted to argue. The way they got so close to each other wasn't just a fateful meaning. But Shen put a finger on her lips, telling her to stop.

Feng Wuxi relented and sighed.

"You look like a father not willing to send away his daughter."

"..."

Shen got up with Feng Wuxi in his arms.

"Still, why would you practice until you collapse?"

"Ah, the technique you gave me is just too magical. Not only can it strengthen my foundation and physique but my meridians are also getting stronger. And the effects are only better if I push myself to the bitter end."

"I understand that but if you do it continuously it might leave some clogged veins or even hidden injury. Be more careful with your health, ok?" Shen pushed the window leading to her room and seriously instructed while entering her as if it was natural to not use the door.

Feng Wuxi nodded while smiling sweetly. Thinking back, it was always like this, him getting worried about her health. Even though he couldn't do much he supported her by side.

That actually meant a lot to her. Which was why she was in his arms today.

Shen laid Feng Wuxi on her back. Slightly nearing her ears he whispered, "Stay put, I will ma.s.sage your body. This will remove all muscle stress and hidden injuries."

Feng Wuxi got a taste of his ma.s.saging skills before, but those were in an entirely different dimension. She nodded and calmed her mind from getting excited.

Shen skillfully undressed her, leaving only her undergarments. Clapping his hand, he activated G.o.d's Hand. An instantaneous change occurred in his hand.

Starting from her toes, he ma.s.saged her thighs, waist, stomach, chest, and head. His hands pressed every muscle of her upper body. Even the lower part of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and groin wasn't left out.

Even though Shen didn't use any oil, the skin of her body was moistened and every pore opened up absorb qi from the atmosphere.

At first, Feng Wuxi couldn't help but feel his touch stimulating. But as his hands climbed above from her calf to thigh, she couldn't feel the same at all. Only the refres.h.i.+ng touch and the feeling of her muscles absorbing qi from her body filled her mind.

Even when his fingers ma.s.saged her outer l.a.b.i.a, she felt refreshed and pleasant.

Shen turned her body and continued ma.s.saging her without stopping. After a full hour, he was completely done.

Wiping the small beads of sweat, he let out a satisfied sigh.

Throughout the whole process, Feng Wuxi let out small but pleasant moans. And when Shen completed his task, she laid on her stomach with her strengthless body.

(A/N: Ok, I won't say I didn't misunderstand the last two paragraphs.)

Not wanting to disturb her, he lightly whispered in her ears, "I still have some things to take care of. We will leave in two days, so let me know beforehand if Xishui will accompany us."

It was unknown whether she really heard him or not but from the slight twitch of her finger, Shen deduced she heard him and entered the Immortal Realm.

After filling two treasure chests along with a Cloudflame Cylinder, he left them on her table along with a letter.
