Yang Xin's hands were roaming on Tatsuya's half-naked body.
Miyuki was chuckling, "you won't find anything different from the outside."
"But, I never thought before you two were from before the age of darkness. I have to check if there is something different!"
Shen Xiu curled her lips, "are you sure you aren't fulfilling your desire using this opportunity?"
Yang Xin scoffed, "what do you know; humans evolve with every generation. Someone from ten thousand years ago would be so completely different." She looked at Tatsuya strangely, "although your physiology is absolutely different. It is even more advanced than ours. Are you sure you are from the past, not the future?"
Tatsuya started buttoning his shirt, "Miyuki and I are unique in that regard."
Yang Xin looked towards Miyuki as her eyes shined, "You mean Miyuki's physiology is different too?"
Miyuki was a bit embarrassed when Yang Xin's fingers were creeping towards her. She could see from her eyes... the desire to pull all her clothes out and check every nook and cranny of her body.
"Don't!!"
Shen Xiu looked interested in the idea, "Let me help you!" She put her hand on Miyuki's thighs holding her in place.
Miyuki shook her head, "Don't do this!" She snuggled closer to Tatsuya.
"If both of you don't want to be frozen, then stop."
Both Yang Xin and Shen Xiu felt their skin jump up, "I think I have enough for today!"
Shen Xiu also stopped; she didn't want to be the only one punished.
Yang Xin clapped her hands together, "I was here with all the raw materials!"
She took out many Interspacial rings from her cleavage and put them in Tatsuya's hand, "here!"
Tatsuya took the rings from her while asking, "where is Yu Yan?" Usually, she stayed there.
"She is about to breakthrough," Shen Xiu told them. She had made all the arrangements for her.
"Wouldn't she step into Martial Ancestor Realm?" Miyuki was really impressed with her cultivation speed.
When Yu Yan had accessed the powers of Golden Flames with Tatsuya's help, her strength had surpassed Heavenly Fate Realm. Afterward, she started practicing using Heavenly Energy.
Her realm increased really fast to the point she was breaking through to Martial Ancestor Realm.
"I have only reached the peak of Heavenly Axis Realm myself." Miyuki sounded a bit upset.
Shen Xiu's mouth twitched, "I know you are not trying to be rude or anything, but think about others!" She had only reached Peak of Heavenly Fate, and that was with everything Tatsuya had done for her.
"It's alright. I have something good for you that will increase your talent."
Shen Xiu looked towards Tatsuya, controlling sets of spiritual herbs, making them float in the air.
"What is it?"
"There are a few ways I was able to come up with; I was just working out the kinks from them."
Shen Xiu frowned, "I don't mind the kinks."
Tatsuya glanced at her, "I do... two of them are particularly troublesome. Both of them practically make you my slaves."
Shen Xiu slouched on bed, "Am I not already? If I betray you...You will kill me. I can't refuse your request. I can't go against you; I have to be on your beck and call. I don't mind if I become the official slave. If that is what makes me more powerful."
Miyuki and Yang Xin were taken aback by the sudden words from Shen Xiu. They didn't think she thought like that.
"You are right; if you betray me, I will kill you."
Shen Xiu flinched hearing that.
"But, you can refuse my request; you can go against me. You can shout at me. You don't have to be at my beck and call. I don't think of you as a slave... you are much more than that."
Shen Xiu held the bedsheet tightly and whispered, "I don't want to be the useless one."
"Without you, who do you think will manage all the money and business?"
Shen Xiu curled her lips, "anyone of your clones can do that."
"Shen Xiu..."
"Tatsuya!! I don't want pity, sympathy, or anything like that. I just want something that can make me useful; I want more power!"
Tatsuya looked at her, "even becoming a slave?"
Shen Xiu looked at him with a soft smile "because it's you, I don't mind being your slave."
Yang Xin opened her mouth before glancing at Miyuki, who also looked shocked.
In the silent room, she leaned near Miyuki's ear and whispered, "you won't freeze her?"
Miyuki glanced at Yang Xin before looking at Tatsuya and silently shook her head.
Tatsuya looked towards the herbs that were floating in the air. Blue sparks came out from the herbs before they turned to pills. These were perfect pills; they were unlike any other grade pill. They could be further strengthened 14.63 times.
He was surprised about Shen Xiu's declaration, but that was all.
"If that's what you really want."
"Onii-sama!"
Tatsuya could easily hear protest in Miyuki's voice, "Miyuki?"
"You are not turning Shen Xiu into a slave."
"It's not exactly being a slave. I have two methods, one being the array that would connect her and my soul realm. Every time I breakthrough, she would be able to get some feedback, and her realm would shot up. She can also use some of my Heavenly Energy."
All three of them were confused, "that doesn't sound like being a slave?" Instead, that sounded like a pretty good method.
"It's not... it's just that way; I can destroy her soul realm and cripple her any time I want."
Yang Xin's mouth twitched, "the other method?"
"I can grant her one of my powers by giving her a portion of my soul. But, once she dies, it will absorb her soul, powers, memories, basically all her existence and fuse it with mine. Also, I can take back what I gave her any time, killing her in the process."
Miyuki sighed and rubbed her forehead, "no wonder you are against it." One was worse than the other.
Shen Xiu frowned, "I don't understand the difference...you can kill me anytime you want right now."
Yang Xin let out a big sigh, "don't be stupid; he won't kill you even if you betray us. Or rather, no one here believes that you will betray us."
"I will find some other method to make you stronger."
Shen Xiu wanted to say something, but Tatsuya put his hand on her cheek, "trust me...I understand what you want. I will make sure you have it."
Shen Xiu closed her eyes before agreeing, "Ok..."
Yang Xin let out a breath of relief, "that was tense! I am glad it's over."
"Don't you want it?" Miyuki looked at her curiously. Yang Xin had barely reached the Heavenly Star Realm.
"If possible, I do, but nothing that would change things between us. How about that fruit you told me about?"
Tatsuya looked at her with surprise before nodding, "that might be a good idea..."
Miyuki rejected that, "it's not, the black diamond had gone through the first separation. Only one fruit was ready for eating. It will take time before the next one. I only realized while I was taking a closer look at Cocytus's change recently." She was trying to distract herself from deciding on the reward.
Yang Xin smacked her lips together, "well, then it can't be helped!"
Tatsuya pointed upwards, "these pills should be enough for now?"
"?"
"?"
"?"
The three of them looked up towards the roof, just it was filled with Alchemy pills.
"the efficiency..." Yang Xin looked at the pills drooling, "Tatsuya...how about giving me this power. I am ready to be a slave!"
"This one is not from the bloodline; even if I wanted to, I can't give you."
"Not much as of yet. I am still trying to find better ways...Give me a few more months."
Yang Xin went near him and hugged his head with a bright smile, "silly kid...I was joking."
"I am serious!"
Shen Xiu was already filling the bottles with pills, with Miyuki helping her.
"What are we going to do about customers. Everyone has been losing consciousness for a while!"
Tatsuya wondered about it, "I think that might be my fault?"
"Yours??!!"
Yang Xin, who had barely gotten up from Tatsuya's body, almost fell, "yours? what did you do this time?"
"I was a bit uncomfortable...I might have used a bit more Dao Intent than necessary?"
Miyuki was panicked even as she asked, "How much more?"
"Enough to put whole Divine Feather Sect into dreams before evening, and maybe some more." Tatsuya rubbed his chin as he thought about it. He was just a bit annoyed and felt suffocated.
Miyuki let out a breath, "what are we going to do about it?"
"I have an idea...Teacher, procure every raw material that you can. Ask Gu Lan and Long Shuyun's help if you need to. We might be able to use this as an opportunity!"
Main Hall,
Long Shuyun was waiting for everyone to wake up. Suddenly the word written by Tatsuya caught blue fire and turned to dust.
Next second, everyone started waking up, the whole place was filled with voices.
"Damn! just a little more!!"
"Where did the word go!!!"
"I saw Dao!!"
Mingyue Wushuang put her hand on her forehead. She was so close to Dao, like never before. It was like Dao had everywhere around here; she was swimming in it.
A little more, just a little more, maybe it was the greed that could never be satisfied.
Her eyes swept around the crowd; she was trying to find Tatsuya somewhere. Her eyes met with Yan Yangs and Long Tianmings; it seemed both of them were on the same page as her.
"Did you hear it too?"
"I heard it too!"
Mingyue Wushuang suddenly had an earnest expression on her face as she started moving outside.
Not only her, many others were swarming towards the door.
Long Shuyun looked towards Long Yuyin, "where are they going? Do you know?"
Long Yuyin nodded, "To the Yotsuba's..."
