Improvements

"The cauldron is empty!!" Yes, the vortex swiped the cauldron clean and everything went straight to Aether.

Aether sat in the lotus position for three days before waking up.

***********************************

Aethers eyes opened with a flash of gold light before disappearing as fast as it came.

"Oh look who decided to wake up" A pleasant voice sounded out from behind him.

Taking a look Aether couldn't believe what he saw. A beauty, no the number one beauty in the whole realm with fiery red hair, that can make earthly flames bow in inferiority, and skin so clear that even the finest jades would seem imperfect, pure golden eyes that even puts a kingdoms treasury to shame. And today this beauty put on makeup that enhances her beauty to another level, and a black princess dress that looked like it was crafted by heavenly silk.

"Wow…" That's all Aether could say after seeing Amalia beautiful appearance.

Anticipating his reaction, a lovely smile appeared on her face, but quickly changed and she asked.

"How's your body?" She asked Ina concerning tone.

Aether got up and searched his body and instantly hundreds of cracks could be heard coming from his body.

"I feel...Stronger,"

Saying that he punched the air in front of him with overwhelming force, and a huge gust of wind was formed before slowly fading away.

"Woah…" Seeing this scene Aether couldn't believe it came from him if he met that spark lion now he would butcher it no problem.

"Don't feel contented, you will only get stronger" Amalia voice rang out, sorta ruining his parade, but what she said was all true, I may feel strong now but that's only the beginning.

"So now with your increased strength, strike me with your strongest attack...Just, not "Devour All", but with your, Scythe is good," Amalia said while refusing to fight something that's already against heavens will.

"Umm...but…" Aether didn't know how to say what he wanted to say.

"Jeez just say it already," Amalia said while slightly annoyed.

"I don't want to injure you," Aether said with a concerned gaze.

"You? Injure me? Didn't I already mention to you that I'm conceivably the strongest on this planet?" Amalia said with pride fitting for a princess.

"Now come!" She taunted him with her hand while having a teasing smile.

Breathing out in defeat, Aether picked up his scythe that was at the side of the cauldron and stood 10m away from Amalia. His gaze sharpened as he commenced a battle stance from the Basic Scythe wielding.

"He's that good after only one day" Amalia couldn't help but think after seeing the first stance.

"Here I come" Saying that Aether flashed forward. Jumped in the air and slashed downward heavily. Responding to his attacks, Amalia moved slightly to the left and dodged it completely.

Taking no note of the previous exchange, Aether didn't stop his initial slash but used the uneven weight distribution of the scythe to gain momentum to slash sideways from the left, the same way Amalia went.

Not dodging his attack Amalia lifted up her hand and held the upcoming blade in her hand.

"Ok, let's stop this for now," Amalia said with a smile.

"Thats It?" Aether was wondering if he heard wrong.

"Yes, that's it" but those words confirmed he was hearing right.

"Then what was the point of the spar" Aether asked in a confused voice.

"I was just testing something," Amalia said without giving an explanation and told him to continue training.

When he finally left, Amalia looked at the hand that blocked the scythe and said in a low voice "although I didn't use an art nor did I use any Qi, he shouldn't be able numb my hand like this" Amalia furrowed her brow in contemplation. But it abruptly turned into a cheerful smile. "I want to be there with him when he finally causes the storm that will thunder throughout the realms."

**************************************

1 month passes.

Aether Slashed his scythe towards Amalia again only to miss again. Different from last time Aether can now combine all the moves, although crudely, he can still maintain his momentum going. Aether used the scythe as an Olympic pole and shot towards Amalia like a bullet with a punch.

"BOOM!!" Amalia lifted up her hand and caught Aethers fists.

"Huff...Ok, I'm done," Aether said with a tired expression and immediately fell to the ground.

"Almost..."Amalia said

"Almost?!" Aether said in fright.

"Its that time of the month," Amalia said with an evil grin.

"No, no, no!" Aether said this and tried to make is swift escape out of the throne room. But right when he was about to reach the door a hand clutched his collar, and before he knew it, he was five feet in the air, floating towards the center where Amalia is currently at.

"Oh, look who decide to join me for this occasion," She said sarcastically, And with a swipe of her fingers Aethers clothes were off only leaving his boxer shorts, Showing his perfectly sculpted body, no muscles out of place.

With another flick of her finger a cauldron the same as before appeared. Aether flew inside and made a -Bang- sound when he hit the bottom of it.

"Amalia, how about we talk about this" Aether said while pleading

"Just suck it up like you always do," Amalia said in a non-caring tone.

"You know that takes emotions, and I take about 5 minutes to build it up!" Aether pleaded.

"Oh really...Ok How about this, count to 300 and then you can come out," Amalia said in a gentle voice.

"Really? You're not joking?" Aether said as if he can see the light.

"Of course anything for you!" Amalia said in a cute voice and poured out the necessary amount of 'Devils Powder', And with a snap of her fingers, it started to boil.

"OW...one…"

"Shit that Hurts...two…"

"HOLY FUCK MY ASS...three"

"Fo- wait isn't five minutes three hundred seconds?"Aether said in realization

"Oh, is it? I had no idea." Amalia said in a sweet voice with a little hint of mockery in it.

"AMALIA WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE WATCH!!!" Aether was furious because he was given false hope.

"Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you with the cover closing!!" Amalia said pretending not here what Aether said.

"When I get out here I'm go-" But before he could finish the cauldron was sealed off.

Amalia floated back towards the Throne and closed her eyes like nothing happened.

5 minutes later.

"BOOOMM"

The cover for the cauldron popped off in an exaggerated matter.

A celestial covered in blood jumped out and rushed towards the throne with a fist full of anger.

Just when he was inches away from Amalia, he froze, he couldn't move a single muscle. "Hahahahah your face, are you that foolish? Hahaha" Amalia started laughing while questioning Aethers intelligence.

Quieting down, Amalia had a smile on her face when she started to speak.

"You got here pretty quick, didn't you? Amalia said

Aether was still seething in anger, but when Amalia said those words he realised that "It's true!! Usually, it would take me four seconds to cross a hundred meters, but now it only took two!!" he thought inwardly.

"I Guess you're getting stronger," Amalia said.

"Ya, I guess so…"Aether was talking until he experienced a wave of exhaustion rush run over him. When he was thinking earlier, Amaila unfroze him but he didnt notice , so when he fainted, he collapsed on her developing chest.

"Wha-What?"Amalia's face was completely flushed red as a tomato in embarrassment, she was going to push him off but then when she saw his sleeping face. She couldn't help but smile.

"Where is he from exactly? Such a face shouldn't even exist on a male, I wonder if his clansmen are like this? Probably not as this is the Eastern part of this world and finding someone with his features is impossible" Amalia was brainstorming, completely forgetting that she should move.

"Ah forget it we will know eventually," said Amaila while smiling when she said 'we', "I guess because you made it this far you can sleep with me," Amalia said while laying Aether down. She sat next to him, took a silk blanket out from her space ring, flapped it out, and spread it out so both of them are covered. She laid half of her body on him, her arm tightly holding him on the side of his chest. She closed her eyes. And spoke in a hushed and gentle tone.

"Goodnight"
