Chapter 534 The Promise
Wu Long sat on a sofa, located in a specific spot in this office.
It stood right opposite the door to the bathroom where a gorgeous woman in a long silver dress was currently taking off her high heels and putting her elegant feet in tights to the soft bathroom carpet.
She did not have to look to the side to feel the gaze on her every move, a gaze that brought her a nostalgic and exhilarating feeling.
Sui Luxiao reached into her dress that she already wore properly through the vertical long slit on the side, and started to take off the panties and torn tight, moving without rushing, letting her beautiful smooth skin show a little bit at a time.
He did not move away his eyes even for a little, her reflection in them seemingly being etched into his memory.
The long elegant legs, the voluptuous curves stirring desire, the graceful movements of her delicate hands, everything in this scene was perfection for him.
She finished changing, and turned to look in the mirror to touch up her hair and use a little make up she rarely put on to hide the signs of their activity. Her gaze caught something on the sink under the mirror, and a smile touched her lips, as she finished polishing her looks with a new but identical black shawl that was fastened with a few buttons around her neck and covered her chest and shoulders.
Coming out of the bathroom, she placed a bulky Profound Grande Spatial Ring on the table before him, and he smiled as he picked it up and wore it on his finger.
There was now three Spatial Rings he always kept on his hands, one extra for talismans, which was the one she gifted to him before he left on the journey to the Wood Spirit Continent, and another which was on a separate hand, which he got from a Monarch, which was at full capacity with sea water, he also intended to disguise its appearance in the Forging Array within the Sect but since it was only a 9th-tier Mortal Grade he could alter its appearance without increasing it in size.
They kissed once more, and she moved to continue the meeting with the words “Forgive my slight delay, an extremely urgent matter came up”.
Wu Long, meanwhile made a trip to the core of the Peak of Unity, to visit the Forging Array.
When he met Cao Xiang and Cao Mei after, they greeted him with warm embraces and kisses. Though he noticed that Cao Mei wanted to ask something.
“Haha, what is it, Mei’er? You don’t need to hold back with me”
“I was just… curious about… Senior Zhao. When I asked about him from Sister Zhiqiu she said to ask you. It’s just… the way she acted seemed a bit hesitant so I was wondering if it was alright to ask…”
“Oh, that, hahaha. I should have organized a meeting for you two before he went into seclusion. But… he is currently not here”
“”Eh?””
Both mother and daughter widened their eyes as they remembered that by the arrangement Wu Long talked about during their meeting over the long-distance communication array, Zhao Biren, the Wine Dao master was the one protecting Tingren, Madam Liang was protecting Fantian in the mansion, and Zhao Xieren, her ancestor, was protecting the Yin Yang Unity Palace.
“The Dew of Life that I used to prolong his lifespan and return part of his power is very powerful, but not omnipotent, and retaining his powers for long would be challenging.
That is why Gu Zhen doesn’t suspect anything even as that old man is not showing himself, it is normal for him to enter seclusion and try to conserve as much power as he can for the coming war.
But… when he came here with Madam Liang, she and Zhiqiu worked hard to create an illusion of his aura here while he, concealing his presence went to the Wood Spirit Continent, to not only conserve, but regain even a little more of his power by the side of the Tree Spirit whom I asked for a small favor”
Wu Long explained with a smile, both of the beauties finally remembering that before coming to the mansion in the Fantian Kingdom, Madam Liang accompanied Zhao Xieren here to the Yin Yang Unity Palace, which meant that the old man was not here from the very beginning.
“But… how can you contact the Spirit Race Senior on the other side of the Central Sea?”
Cao Xiang asked since the disruptive storm of the Central Sea prevented communication talismans and formations to have contact between continents.
“With this”
Wu Long smiled, raising a gently glowing vividly green leaf in between two fingers.
“That is…”
“The leaf that the Dew of Life was formed on, and also one of the Life Leaves that only grow once in a long period of time”
He nodded, looking at the leaf which had small dots of light flow around it, as if tiny fireflies were dancing in its gentle glow.
“I already asked Fairy Yu Huan to make a medicine that would remove the residual effects of the poison, since I finally got the necessary ingredients”
He then turned to Cao Mei who smiled with a blush.
“Mm, thank you”
—
They spent two more days in the Sect, and as soon as the trade agreement with the Tuamei Kingdom was finalized, moved out all together back to the mansion in the Fantian Kingdom.
The war in the shadows was growing both in scale and intensity, as Old Yen’s movements finally started to hit a bit more heavily, weaving together with the subtle ones he was making before.
At this time, even peace of the daylight started to get disturbed little by little, as open confrontations happened in the streets of major cities on the continent, and signs of unrest appeared throughout the Six Kingdoms.
But the mansion was still an oasis of tranquility and warmth, as if separated from the world outside, untouchable, unperturbed.
And a day after Wu Long returned to the mansion, a figure appeared at the gates.
“Haha, please report to the owner of the mansion that the time to fulfill his promise has come”
A beautiful voice full of delight spoke to the guards from under a hood, red eyes visible from its darkness.
