Against Heaven's Will Chapter 24 - Oh, Shit.

Chapter 24: Oh, s.h.i.+t.

Knock, knock.

Xuefeng knocked on the door respectfully, announcing his presence and opened his rented room with an ID Card. Tians.h.i.+ was sitting cross-legged on the bed, gazing at him confused.

"Why are you knocking? You have a key."

Xuefeng giggled and teased as he walked to the edge of the bed, "How should I know if you are not doing anything naughty?"

Tians.h.i.+ ignored his teases, returning to the ongoing topic as she wrapped her arms around him, "I was tensed earlier so I couldn't even focus on refining but seeing that you are relaxed and can joke around, I guess the situation is stabilized."

"Did your plan work?" She added.

Ah!

Xuefeng embraced and fell on the bed with her, covering her body with his full weight.

"Yes, I sneaked into their room when they received food and squeezed everything we wanted to know. They seemed tough at first but quickly crumbled afterward," Xuefeng recounted as he leaned down, kissing her on the neck.

They had a bit of time for themselves before they had to evacuate.

"Wait, ah… I want to know all the details." Tians.h.i.+ muttered through a soft moan as she grabbed onto his elvish ears and jerked him away. "Tell me."

"Alright, come here."

Xuefeng rolled on the bed with her and she laid on his chest, expecting an explanation.

"It was Wu's grandpa just as I thought. The order came from the headquarters of Trade Union in the Fire Land but it can't be anyone other than him. No one else knows about our existence," Xuefeng began. "The two were meant to observe our moves till stronger experts arrive. They should be in the City by tomorrow, so we have to leave by then."

"Shouldn't the Safe Zone protect us?" Tians.h.i.+ questioned.

"It won't. I doubt they need to follow the rules of the Safe Zone. They were the ones who helped create it in the first place but I still think they will wait for us to leave the City first. If we fight inside the City and we expose them, Trade Union will lose face," Xuefeng pointed out.

"That's true," Tians.h.i.+ nodded and cuddled into Xuefeng's chest as she thought out loud. "Do you think Wu already reached the Safe Zone and met with her grandpa?"

"Well, I'm sure he would be searching for Wu first so if he switched to hunting for me, I'm sure she is already safe. If that's the case, both her and Nuwa should be in the Fire Land Capital right now," Xuefeng deduced. "I also doubt she knows what her grandpa is doing behind her back."

Tians.h.i.+ paused.

"Then what are we going to do now? What if the whole Trade Union starts hunting for us?" Tians.h.i.+ asked, looking slightly worried. "We can't fight all strong experts and we can't run forever. I don't want that."

"Me neither. That's why it's only a temporary solution. We were meant to focus on improving our cultivation and the quality of our Qi anyway. Don't worry. We won't hide forever," Xuefeng a.s.sured. "I already told Ming to play with the ID Cards to at least stop them from learning our location. If she succeeds, we will be able to enter Safe Zones more safely."

"I guess we won't be able to meet with the rest for a while," Tians.h.i.+ muttered, making Xuefeng depressed a little.

"They are strong… They will have to hold on for a little longer. We will reunite once we are done handling Wu's grandpa," Xuefeng replied as he hugged her tightly, leaving a kiss on her head. "I will set up a Time Zone in this room which will give us more time to cultivate before we have to depart."

The usage of his ability while moving drained a lot of Fate Qi while setting up a stable zone didn't cost him much. He could quicken or slow down the time of a certain s.p.a.ce and keep it for a long time.

They cuddled in silence for a short while until Tians.h.i.+ suddenly moved, her hands sneaking down his stomach.

"So you are saying we can stay here much longer…" Tians.h.i.+ said softly, nibbling on his lips. "Shall we spend some time together before refining our Qi?"

Xuefeng was never against such ideas, especially knowing she had a valid point there. Once outside, they wouldn't have time for any relaxation or closure between them.

Mhmm!

He didn't say anything as his lips immediately locked with her own. Their moves accelerated as their fingers roamed freely, already familiar with each other's bodies. Xuefeng was so skilled he could easily dismantle her clothing, stripping her into underwear in a matter of seconds.

Tians.h.i.+ wasn't worse, already in firm grasp on him as well, preparing to go all out when Xuefeng froze, gazing at his left hand.

Ba-Dum! Ba-dum!

Two Soul Stones on his bracelet began vibrating madly, showing two of his wives' heartbeats. It sped up momentarily in both cases.

"What happened…?" Tians.h.i.+ asked confused.

"It's Wen and Shan… They must be in a battle," Xuefeng replied worriedly, knowing it would happen sooner or later.

"Don't worry, they will be fine…" Tians.h.i.+ cheered him up, laying on his body while staring at the bracelet with him.

Ba-Dum, ba-dum!

Two more stones joined for a total of four, shocking the two of them.

"d.a.m.n it… Wuying and Yi as well? What is going on?" Xuefeng cursed with his anxiety rising. He hated how powerless he was, his only choice just hope nothing happens to them.

"It must be a coincidence, right? Is it possible that they are together?" Tians.h.i.+ questioned worriedly, already dropping any thoughts of continuing their activity.

"I do hope they are together…"

———

"Ah! Wen, you dummy! Did you really have to blow up a fireball right at his face?!"

Sky-blue hair waved with the wind as Shan scolded, escaping from tens of cultivators. Wen, her dear sister, was right next to her, flying at the same speed as her burning red hair mixed with her own. They were like fire and ice, clas.h.i.+ng against one another.

"It's not my fault! They started flirting with us first," Wen defended herself, trying to play innocent, but her smirk didn't leave her face exposing how much she enjoyed it. "You should fly instead of talking! They are catching up again!"

The young cultivators didn't care about their beauty anymore, sending Air Qi skills their way, forcing them to dodge. Their leader had his hair burned, looking like a monk.

"Catch them!" he cried out angrily. A figure of a long Air Qi Flood Dragon appeared above his head and it launched forward, chasing after them.

"Oh, s.h.i.+t."
