Chapter 36
Chen's eyelids shook as he opened his eyes. He felt lightheaded. He had a slight hangover. Last night, he had a drinking competition with Hiroshi. That old man surely had been a beast, one with a great ego who didn't accept losing to a bender. In either case, Hiroshi's win was everyone's win.
Chen's blurry vision started clearing up. His eyes were met by the beautiful green eyes of Asami, who looked bright. She had her hand on his cheek, and she looked sleepy. From his angle, Chen felt that he was in heaven. The relief he was feeling was a result of good sex.
The sleepy feeling from his eyes was pushed away by a surge of pain. It was caused when Asami placed her hand on his jawline.
He and Asami were both naked on a large bed.
'My jaw, it's sore.'
"You surely know how to use your tongue. It makes me question how you did it." Asami smiled.
Chen remembered the reason for the pain. Right. Asami was the type of girl who loved being kissed on her lips -- the ones between her legs. Chen did whatever he did for his sugar mommy's satisfaction. Her scent was all over his face.
"Guess the alcohols did it," Chen said, and his jaw produced a cracking sound. He smiled at her, remembering one good detail. "For a virgin, you can ride very well."
"Oh well, I had to reward you for that good kissing, right? I didn't mind being the one who moves." She said. "Next time, you are the one to move, okay."
"You enjoyed it more." Chen rubbed his forehead. "I can't remember things clearly, but it was good."
"Yes, with you being drunk and wild." Asami seemed to notice what was with him. " You have a hangover? Do you need medicine?"
"I don't need it. Your father may."
"I would have gone to check on him." Asami tried to stand up, but she failed. "My legs have yet to regain strength."
He found it funny, and he chuckled. He wasn't the only sore one. Chen placed his hand on her hair and pushed behind her ear. Seeing her action made her appear cute. He felt that he liked every movement of hers.
In his past life, whenever he had woke up from a sex night, the first thing he would think was 'what kind of trouble I brought to myself.'
But now, it felt different. Maybe because she was a reliable person with a good personality.
"Asami!" her father's voice echoed. "Have you seen Chen?"
"My father." Asami opened her eyes widely. It seems that Sato had woken up before them and he was ready for the new day. Asami looked anxious. She would never be able to handle her father's expression with her fiancee with her on the bed.
"What a bad day for a hangover." Chen sighed, "Don't worry. These things are called 'classics'."
Jumping off the bed and landing on the ground on his back, he rolled a few times.
He got under the bed.
Believe it or not, Chen had used to this. He was a man without so much conscience. It doesn't need an explanation to figure out what he'd done.
'Feel like a third home.' Chen put his hands behind his head.
Asami's father knocked on the door. Excusing herself for some time, Asami wore her clothes and pushed herself to open the door for her dad.
"What's with your hair, it's messy."
"Oh, father," Asami rolled her eyes. "You know that I need to take care of it to look good."
Sniffing the air, Sato said. "Why do I smell alcohol around."
"You and Chen drank last night till the fullest, I couldn't help but feel a bit tempted."
"I advise you against it," Asami said. "Alcohol is only good for broken hearts. It will kill you slowly."
"Then you shouldn't drink it."
"It won't harm drink from one time to another."
"Anyway. Dad, would you excuse me too, you know, do girl's stuff."
"Sure, anything you desire sweaty." Replied Hiroshi. "I would be waiting for you at breakfast. Meanwhile, look for your fiancee. He is not in his room, nor in yours."
"Why would he be in mine?"
"That's my girl."
Chen resisted his urge to clap for Asami. She handled the situation very well. She didn't crack under the pressure of her father, and her legs stood firmly despite how rough he did her last night. She got his respect. It seemed that they both had a bright future awaiting them.
The door was closed.
"Come out." Asami's voice echoed.
Chen rolled a few times, getting out of the under of the bed. Lying on his back, he started clapping for Asami, staring at her face.
"What?" Asami asked, her lips corner raising up for a smirk.
Chen, admiring, said. "I almost believed that I wasn't under your bed."
"Oh come on. Don't be silly." She said. "Anyway. Dress well, get to the breakfast table, and act casually."
"Alright," Chen said, quite excited. But then he placed his hand on his chin.
"Don't worry, your jaw muscles will adapt soon." Asami placed her hand on her wide hip and smiled at him. Chen understood what she meant. She meant that his jaw will adapt while licking her. Although it was morning, she was already thinking of that. He liked her for sure.
"You naughty girl." He pointed his finger at her, before standing up.
-x-X-x-
"Now, would you challenge me to another drinking competition?"
"No, I won't dare," Chen said.
But then, Asami hit his leg.
Chen continued. "I don't want you to hurt yourself at such an age."
"Yeah, bluff yourself," Hiroshi replied.
The three of them, Chen, Hiroshi, and Asami were at the table for breakfast. Few maids and servants came with expensive food. Chen's eyes shone. There was a steak, juice, cakes and more. Moreover, a professional chef prepared everything. The delicious aroma entered his nose.
'And this is the life I like.'
A maid came with a hangover medicine for both Hiroshi and Chen. Chen didn't have to take it. He'd been an alcoholic. Heck, he even transmigrated here when his body had been in the bar.
Hiroshi turned the radio, to hear the news. The old man ran one of the most successful companies and was a genius. He would keep track of news. Chen didn't mind listening to them for the meanwhile. As he was enjoying the melting cake, something grabbed his attention.
The female reporter said.
"And for the main news. Due to the lack of security, the Police Chief declared to delay the pro-bending tournament until it provides more security for the audience. The arena owner apologises to everyone and said he would refund them until the next season starts."
'That would be bad for Hina and Mira.' Chen shrugged. 'But I guess they would handle themselves. At any rate, I don't need the tournament anymore. They would have to find someone else in my stead.'
"You are thinking about your teammates?" Asami asked.
Chen raised his eyebrow at her. his jaw slightly dropped, and he almost choked on his food. Asami's intuition was so good that he doubted she'd the ability to read his mind.
Asami didn't miss that reaction of his. "I'll guess I'm right. Don't worry, they will have to train to play. Besides, you were the whole team. They never won without you."
"Yeah." Hiroshi nodded. "Those harsh knockouts, they are satisfying."
Chen looked at his father-in-law. Hiroshi surely loved to see benders getting their ass kicked. Although he'd realised his mistakes while following Amon, he still loved that. Hell, he even admired Chen for killing the Agni Kai triad, which had killed Asami's mom. Hiroshi was Chen's number one fan.
"Well, we have to wait." Asami shrugged. "By the way, since you are on break, we should start planning for a wedding."
"Let's set a date later." Hiroshi raised his hand. "People don't marry this fast. Get to know each other more."
After swallowing the melting cake, Chen nodded with a bright smile.
"Yes, father-in-law."
It was a real smile, one of the few real ones.
Asami smiled too and nodded. When she and Chen looked at each other, they nodded at the same time, seeming to understand their intents.
"Let's go to the pool after this," Asami said.
"Sure." He nodded. "But first, I have to attend my training. Later then I guess."
"Why would you train? You already are in good shape?" Asami questioned.
"So I can protect you, silly," Chen replied.
Asami smiled, a little flush spreading on her cheeks. "So that's why? But I can protect myself."
"I just want it." Chen shrugged.
He was honest here. This world has one more danger to encounter. It would appear later. It's Korra's uncle. Chen would have to assassinate him secretly so that Sugar Mommy or his daddy-in-law's wealth wouldn't get harmed.
"Awe. That's cute."
-x-X-x-
Chen was in his place. Asami came to watch his workouts. Meanwhile, Korra would be on her way, that's if she wanted to hang out.
Before venturing to improve his skills, Chen decided to see stats.

Teaching
(Strike the body with Chi at specific points to cause a certain effect — can be harmful or beneficial)
Accumulated experience: 300.000
]
His Chi had increased dramatically. It's 40.000 points now. That's like the combined amount of energy of tens of people.
He'd also accumulated a monstrous amount of experience.
Thanks to defeating Amon, Tarrlok, and a lot of Chi blockers, Chen had 300.000 points.
It would take him to the next level with so ease.
However, knowing that he was in a time of peace and that levelling up only gets harder, Chen decided not to use these points now.
First, he would train his skills. When he reaches a certain hard level, he would use the accumulated experience. That way, he would benefit to the max.
However, in case something urgent or bad happened, he would use those points.
He now had a dream to protect, and someone. Although, until now, he was wondering what changed within him.
"Chen, by the way, what was that thing you used that day? You know, the thing that destroyed the arena." Asami asked.
"Chi bending." He said.
"You mean energy bending," Asami said. She used the most common name of that. Every bender and non-bender in this world had the ability to master it.
"You can call it so." Chen nodded. Asami gave him an idea for his first workout.
Red energy danced above his palm as he opened his hand. Chen was trying to shape it and control it, which worked. He then started shrinking it and expanding it.
[Chi control +100 exp] [Chi control +…]….
Curious, Asami stood up next to him.
"Wow. The only thing I know about Chi is how to use it when you move and use your fist." Asami said, raising her fist. Looking at the ball, she said. "Is it harmful to touch?"
"It depends on how I use it," Chen replied, aiming his hand to the left. The ball turned into a beam, which exploded a near rock into shreds.
Korra, while being here, had bent the earth for Chen to explode things.
"Just curious, can you teach me that."
"Why would you want to learn such a thing."
"You seem to get ahead of me, and I don't like to stand behind. I just want to stand beside you."
"Alright. Provided you do one thing for me." Chen nodded
"What?" Asami asked.
"Teach me martial arts." He said.
Teaching Asami would be so easy. The system allows him to teach his skills, provided 3 levels below his.
Asami, on the other hand, could teach him the thing he needed.
Chi Control allowed him to increase his speed and power. However, raw power without precision was useless.
"Oh, that's it?"Asami smiled.
-x-X-x-
While Asami was meditating, Chen said that he could transfer the training methods through his Chi. He did it. It was a skill that he'd gotten as a teacher. Asami, in no time, picked up the training method. Unlike him who used experience, she would have to level up.
It wasn't an impossible thing to do. If someone discovered a martial art, it wouldn't be impossible to teach. Same for his skill. Chen would be the discoverer, and Asami would be the one who finds the easy way to train it.
She stood up, repeating some movements in the air, moving her Chi along it.
At the same time, someone was walking toward them. Chen had been familiar with the figure he could sense through electrical sense.
"Hey, Korra." He said, him and Asami turning to her.
"Chen." Korra smiled. "I figured out you would be training here after the cancellation of the tournament, so I thought of visiting you."
"Boring day isn't it."
"Not really. I mastered airbending." Korra smiled. When she looked behind Chen and saw Asami, her smile froze. She said. "Hey, Asami... Uh… how is it going." She then looked between Chen and Asami, and she waved her hand in front of her face, creating cold air to cool herself. "Is it hot here or is it me?"
"Hey, Korra," Asami said. "You need something?"
"Yes, I just want to train with Chen," Korra said. "It's our usual spot. What are you doing here."
"I'm hanging with my fiancee." Asami asserted her domination.
Korra crossed her arms, and she looked at Chen, her blush becoming stronger.
Asami's expression softened. "You okay? You need something, you look sick."
"It's nothing. I'm just dehydrated." She kept staring at Chen. "Anyway, let's work out."
"Sure. Asami, keep practising." He then turned to Korra and said. "I was waiting for you."
"Alright."
Chen and Korra walked away from Asami, standing and facing each other.
"Alright. Lightningbending?" Korra challenged.
"Sure," Chen replied.
Taking her stance, she said. "Your advice about the negative and positive Chi was good." She extended her hands toward him and unleashed two lightning bolts.
Opening his arms and welcoming her attack, he smiled and absorbed her lightning.
[Lightningbending +100 exp]
He then pointed his hand at her, releasing a lightning bolt of his own. Korra dodged before it was released, and she kicked a fire blast at him.
At this rate, Chen would be strong by the time her uncle comes. Also, it was fun to train with Korra, next to his fiancee.
