Novel Full Chapter 240 - Chocolate
-----
Today in the morning Xijun seemed rather concentrated into her task, she had suddenly woken up sitting over the floor meditating.
This girl rarely speaks that much, as a classic kuudere, she often talks with "hm" and nods, but sometimes she talks some more. Recently she had opened some more to me and our relationship in this vast and wild world is slowly growing stronger.
In this month we had spent together, I've never seen her do this though, I was intrigued, so I sat near her and watched her closely. Due to the nature of my powers, I don't really require meditating or cultivate like its actually done, I just need to kill and get EXP, and it will be done.
However, for her and other beings who lack systems, they must cultivate energies in some kind of ways, I don't know if this is how you cultivate in this world, but Xijun seems to be doing something similar to that right now.
Flash!
Suddenly, an aura of aquamarine color emerged from her body, dancing like the ocean waves around her body, it as a beautiful sight to behold, one filled with wondrousness. It held a mystical feeling to it, a spiritual light that emanated from her and began to wave around. This world's cultivation is unknown to me and Xijun doesn't seem to know either, yet she is doing something that could be called meditation.
After a few minutes, her aura continued to dance like the ocean waves, absorbing sparks of blue essence from the environment and gathering them into her chest, and then forcing them to flow across her body. At the end, the entire thing was done, and she faintly opened her eyes as if sighing in relief.
"Phew, its done…" she sighed in relief.
"What were you doing?" I asked.
"Ah! Were you looking at me this whole time? That's a bit perverted, Gustav…" she said.
"Eh? Ah, sorry, maybe I didn't think this through, I apologize if I looked a bit creepy." I sighed.
"Well, it doesn't matter. I was doing something my grandpa called meditation. I simply cross my legs, close my eyes, and breath in a way that makes me feel good. I do this sometimes while you're sleeping, this is the first time you managed to wake up and see me doing it." she said.
"So you're doing this every single morning?! I didn't knew… I guess you always come with more surprises." I sighed.
"I would say the same about you. You're still not revealing your true capabilities to me after a month of being together…" she sighed.
She had become more talkative, definitely. I don't remember her being so open with me, I guess even the coldest of girls gets to be more open when they spend time with you.
My relationship with the cute Xijun is probably that of big brother and little sister, or maybe vice versa? I don't know… but well, it is something similar to that.
"Well, sorry about that. But you'll see what I am more capable of in the future, you've already seen part of my powers, although we just hunt occasionally, every big shot I kill gives you items, right? That's not something you could do alone." I said.
"I know… And this is why I got so many amazing magical items to use… But aside from that, I was wondering if you got more of those…" she said.
"Huh?"
"Chocolate." She said.
"Ah…"
I had introduced to her a bit of the food of Earth, which is still producing all sorts of food since I rescued it into my divine realm. She seems to have grown fixated to the sweets, specifically chocolate.
She looked at me like a cat that wanted a snack, if she had a tail, it would be waving around as she wanted more of that snack…
"Sure but you'll tell me how you did that meditation and for what purpose." I said.
"Fine…" sighed Xijun, I quickly took away a large chocolate bar out of my Inventory. For her, it looked as if I had materialized the item out of nowhere. I don't know if everyone has such an ability in this world.
"This one is cookies and cream." I said.
"Ooohhh!"
I threw the chocolate bar at her as she destroyed its package and began to devour it, her mouth got all covered in chocolate and she looked honestly adorable. I wish I could present her to everyone inside my divine realm. Oh well, it will happen soon anyways.
"Nom… Nom…. Nom…"
"Come on, calm down, don't eat it all…" I said.
"I-Its so good… what is this thing inside of it? Its milky and sweet… and it has these crunchy bitter bites… a-are these cookies and cream?!" she asked, her cat-like eyes shone brightly at the prospect of such a forbidden knowledge.
"Of course! This is the legendary cookies and cream chocolate bar. Its pretty good, isn't it? now, if you want to try out the orange filling next, you'll tell me more like a good girl, right?" I asked with a smile.
"Yeah, okay… Erm… well, grandpa used to always do this, it is called Meditation and we use a special breathing to gather energy from the environment… when I do it, I feel like it flows around me, and it feels so relaxing I could fall asleep… It is hard to do without breaking concentration and falling asleep though." She said.
"What do you gain from doing it?" I asked.
"I don't know? I just feel better, after years, I think it helped me grow stronger… maybe a bit." she said.
It definitely helped her grow as strong as she is, definitely… but… is that it?
"You don't know anything else?" I asked.
"Well, it feels like I am absorbing the power of the ocean nearby… Maybe this is why grandpa lived around here? He liked the ocean… So he cultivated near it." she said.
"Interesting…"
Could her amazing water magic and her other abilities which makes her a literal supreme goddess of water… be related to this too?
