Absolute Strengthening Technique 32 Su Rou

Shen kept sweating profusely, but he had a satisfied smile pasted on his face. On top of his palm, a small streak flame burned silently. The air surrounding the fire completely froze as if afraid to sway the fire.

"So, this is the Primordial Genesis Fire." a voice behind him spoke out.

Shen turned to the voice only to see the catgirl, who didn't even wish to reveal her name.

"You know this, kitty?" Shen brought his palm in front of the catgirl which caused her to jump back.

"...Primordial Genesis Fire, known as the fire that existed during the creation of the universe. Also, a fire that will destroy the whole world." she glared at him while speaking, wis.h.i.+ng to eat him on the process, it only made her look cuter.

Shen ignored her glare as he extended his hand on the air as if asking for something. Suddenly, a bowl flew on his palm. On the bowl, there were a few pieces of sliced fishes. Shen took a slice of fish as he held it near the fire, it just disappeared.

Shen made an amused expression. It seemed cooking with this fire won't be possible, at least for the time being. As there were many recipes that can only be cooked by this fire. For now, he only can lament on his inability.

The catgirl, on the other hand, had a dumbfounded expression. Did this guy just want to cook with Primordial Genesis Fire? The fire that's known for its destructiveness, and after he managed to cultivate it, the first thing he thought about was cooking? Where can you find such a ridiculous guy?

Shen without a care of the cat's weird look kept practicing with full concentration.

...

It's been already a week since the event of Treasure Cat took place. She only approached Shen when he cooked something, other than that she only stayed on the Absolute Tree.

'Treasure Tribe or whatever, you are just a lazy cat...'

This was what Shen thought after seeing her lazed expression.

Mingyue Gelou and Wenren-Wushuang were already brought back to Sect by Yiye Jiange.

Thanks to her Snow White Crane, it didn't even take a day to bring them back.

Baili Jingwei also recovered in the meantime. After learning everything that happened he rushed in front of the room designated for the Guest Elder's stay.

"What brings you here, Sect Leader." Shen saw the man approaching him, he lightly smiled.

Baili Jingwei was surprised by his demeanor. He, a Martial King, didn't have an ounce of arrogance. In fact, he had a gentle aura around him that made everyone feel calm.

"Esteemed Master, this time you did a great favor to our sect. We don't know what would have happened without your presence. Our sect will be forever indebted to you!" Baili Jingwei did a martial salute as he solemnly said.

"Sect leader, you are embarra.s.sing me. Besides, I'm your junior. Please don't be formal with me." Shen replied as he rubbed his nose awkwardly.

"Hahaha, I won't hold on a ceremony then. I'll call you Brother Shen if you don't mind." Baili Jingwei was an extremely free-minded person and also a genius.

In this place of Greencloud Continent where Heaven and Earth were extremely thin. He was able to reach the 8th grade of the Xiantian Realm without any outside help.

"Surely, I don't mind Brother Jingwei." Shen also laughed with him as both of engaged in a conversation. Baili Jingwei offered to tour around sect which he couldn't reject.

After half an hour, Baili Jingwei showed signs of a little tiredness, so Shen politely took his leave. Although, Baili Jingwei has recovered by a huge margin. His capabilities are still limited. An Injury in the Dantian was no small matter.

On the way to his room, Shen felt someone staring at him. It's normal if someone just stared at him but he felt a sense of hostility from that gaze? Why? He didn't know anyone of this sect other than the Elders and the Elders should feel grateful to him...

Before he could think any further, a kick flew at extreme speed aiming his neck!

Shen lifted the back of his palm, blocking the fierce kick.

Boom!!

Even Shen himself didn't expect the might behind the kick. Still, he remained standing without even moving an inch, similar to how a heavenly mountain would. The ground beneath his feet cracked a little but the air around them spun crazily. When Shen turned to the culprit, he was left speechless.

Fair skin, sharp eyebrows, large eyes, a small mouth which was as red as a cherry. Her elegant long hair, delicate face, snow-white skin, eyes that were not fearful in front of danger and were instead unyielding deeply.

He was not stunned by her heavenly beauty or the unyielding eyes. He was stunned because he knew this girl.

"Rou Rou, what are you doing here?" Shen said to her calmly.

Rou Rou, also known as Su Rou, didn't reply as she brought her fist on his face.

Shen didn't block this time, in fact, dodged. He knew her personality very well. If she was angry, she would even punch her father. It's not that she didn't respect her father rather because of her untamable personality.

"You've gotten better... your cultivation increased very quickly too, good job." Shen judged her as he dodged her attacks very easily.

"Three years... and you said you will be back after two years..." Su Rou finally stopped as she glared at him with hate.

"I did say, it will take at least two years and it can go as far as four years... wait, did you come to search for me?" Shen felt surprised. He didn't expect her to search for him.

Without any word, Rou Rou punched at his chest with all her might.

This time Shen didn't find the courage to block her punch as he let her hit him.

Boom!

The might behind her punch was far less than her kick. Obviously, at the last moment, she held back.

Shen moved two steps backward, before stabilizing his balance on the third. This was because of one of the base element and law of Absolute Physique. His body becomes heavier than normal and while his defense is double the amount of his offensive prowess.

"I'm sorry." he gently hugged her as he said those words.

"You better be..." Su Rou didn't struggle as she embraced him.

"I think we should leave before any elders arrive here?" suddenly Shen said to her.

Su Rou nodded and followed him.

As soon as they entered the room, Rou Rou wrapped her hand around Shen's neck as she kissed him with pa.s.sion. She didn't care about anything right now. She wanted her lover, not anything else.

From the day, she saw him three years ago. She couldn't forget about him, every single day and night, she thought about him and reminisce about the last kiss they shared. It was light and gentle, more like it was just a touch but she couldn't forget it.

To be honest, she was afraid. Afraid of losing him. Although she was aware of her own beauty and talent, it didn't lessen her fear in any way. She saw the beauty near him when he was on Greencloud City, and didn't think she could win against her. She didn't wish to monopolize her right over him, more like she couldn't. She just wished to be by his side, forever, and have a place in his heart.
