CH175: Ready. Set.

"What are you cooking?" I ask Erina, finding her in the kitchen, mixing something happily, too focused to even hear me, and I sneak behind her, loving what she's wearing, or rather, not wearing, as she got only an apron, a thong, knee-socks, and high heels, on.

*Kiss.. Kiss..* I rain kisses on her open back, while sneaking my hands under the apron, 'making sure' she got no bra on, and while shoving the blend she made into a baking-tray, she pouts, yet rub her butt on my dick, mumbling "..Different worlds ..beasts ..devils ..angels ..superpowers ..How could I even cope with that ..what the hell is happening ..blablabla ..", having a breakdown from all that's happening around her, as I decided to take her with us, but told her nothing, feeling guilty right now, and just continue raining kisses, lower and lower, till I stuck my face in between her ass cheeks, *biting* her up, 'eating' her delicious pussy, teasing her clit, pushing her toward an orgasm, hearing her voice turn higher and higher, forgetting it all, and sprinkle her love onto my mouth and face.

... "I'm still mad!" Erina say shyly as we sit bare naked in the boiling-hot-spring, and I hold my laugh, hugging her, whispering loving-word, with a sparkle of mockery in them, as she had so many 'hints', from hidden-houses, to quick-world-travels, etc, but she seems used to overly-rich-families, thinking it's the same, so I just tell her the truth, "Erina, I love you, I wish to expose myself before you, including everything, everyone, everywhere... Can you accept me, as who I am, with all included? Honestly, you can still go back and forget it all...", but seeing her already beaming a smile, cuddling closer to me, with her eyes closed, looking so peaceful and beautiful it's mind-easing, I just wait for her response.

"Knowing you love me so much, I guess I can give you a chance" she teases me cutely, making me laugh, as she act like a spoiled princess, and I smirk, asking "Are you sure about it? I ain't called Big. Bad. Dragon. For nothing", and she gaze at me shortly, yet keep acting like a snub.

*Fwoosh!*, I spread my lust-energy upon her, while pulling her to me, and even tickle her with few tentacles, and "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! AHHYYYYNNNN!!!!!!" she blast into a rough orgasm, sweating all over, jumping up, sprinkling the hot-spring water with her own hot-springing love juice, and I quickly cum her down, feeling I went to far, but she soon sit on my lap, looking so peacefully beautiful it's mind-easing, and I just wait for her to talk again.

"Idiot, you're my idiot! Can't you take a joke! I love you, happy now??" she tell/mock/tease/not sure what, to me, and I shake my head, responding "Are you sure about it?", and she quickly change faze, hugging me tightly, whispering "I love you, My King, my Big Bad Dragon, but if you can't handle a spoiled princess, then you better return me home!".

"I love you too, Erina, I just wished to break your weird mood.. We're still the same.. We're just living beings.. Nothing more, nothing less.. Love is the same for everyone, like every feeling that exist.." I say calmly, and she repeat after me "..Feeling are the same for everyone..", and I think about what I just said, saying "Oh, yeah, hmmm... I just said it, but now that I think about it, no matter if you're rich or poor, healthy or sick, good or bad, smart or stupid, strong or weak... Feelings are separated from it all".

"Oh, so, like..." Erina seem to 'dig me', finding it true by supplementing, "...They say rich is happy, or poor is happy, or richness come with sadness, or being strong is feeling courage, or being weak is feeling fear... But in the end, feelings aren't connected, they're a whole separated realm... Weak can be courageous, Strong can have fear, Poor can be happy, Rich can be sad...".

"Oh, I love that sentence" Chi-Chi come inside, joining us, sitting next to Erina, in front of me, bare naked, blushing cutely, and Erina about to speak, but I *Pinch* her butt, letting her have the credit, as she did was the inspiration, and the one talking. "I also loved it" Raki come inside, saying so, taking off her clothes, and soon all the girls come pouring in, discussing this idea, and with it, Erina mingle into them, while I just float in the water, enjoying this blissful feeling.

...

"Are you ready, my dear?" Mia asks Erina, standing in front of her, in her humanoid-rabbit-form, forming a magic-inscription with her finger, and I ask, puzzled, "What's that? Where's that stone you used on me?", and she smile to me, telling me "You haven't seen it before? It was Infi' idea long ago, to guide the spirit-soul which one wish for, or rather, the desired-path, because human who ain't originated from Soul-land did not born with spirit-soul, meaning, they can't have spirit-soul without doing it". "Oh my... Are you for real? Then.. Oh... She learnt from the experience she did with me.. And all the girls got such awesome spirit-souls because of the thing she invented? That's awesome..." I stop talking, watching Erina blaze in light, like the sun is shining just on her, and the figure of a light-wings appears behind her back, like a butterfly, a light-butterfly.

"Radiant Dragon Butterfly spirit-soul!! No way! It's... It's.. It's the evolved spirit-soul of Bright Goddess Butterfly! Amazing!" Mia exhale after a momentary shock, while she, Erlong, and the spirit-ring-girls chat briefly, trying to identify what's going on.

"Is it okay?" she asks shyly, and Nami jump around her, showing her that she got the Bright goddess butterfly spirit-soul, letting her see they're the same, and soon Robin, and more girls, show her the same thing, explaining her she got an higher spirit-soul, showing a weird potential, as we were sure she'll be something related to cooking, but somehow she got an attack-system spirit-soul.

"Am I..." Erina model to me, and I nod in joy, while listening to Infi <Ayn, I think the dragon-blood, or rather, dragon-energy, inside of you, made that happen>, and it seems Yuena and the girls hear her talking as well, as Yuena say right after "Yeah, she truly love you, if she could absorb your energies, making it dominant enough to influence the procedure", and all the girls gaze at me, realizing the same thing as I do, the girls can cultivate my energies, our love is more than just mental or physical, it can even be spiritual.

<Well, it wasn't true in the past, girls, so don't worry, it's just that much changed with Ayn, so be calm, and keep cultivating, it will happen to you, for sure> Infi settle-down the uneasy girls, who seems bit bummed, like it was a sign they do not love me, or some sort of thing like that, and I add "The dragon powers, the rise in cultivation, divinity, dantian.. I truly powered-up lately, so don't mind it, just keep true to your path".

...

Finishing awakening all the girls, including the devil-girls and Red-line girls, a variety of spirit-souls pop out from them, each uniquely magnificent, but while marveling at Tashigi, getting a sword-spirit-soul, I remember about Chen Xin, going to Rongrong, passing her the memories, and she asks to go with me, so I say 'goodbye' to everyone, telling them what's going on, and drag Tashigi with me, as I hold Rongrong'-hand, telling her "Maybe he can give you good advice, cause none of us got sword-cultivation", and *teleport*.

.

"My grandpa got the Seven-Kill-Sword spirit-soul, but yours is different.." Rongrong tell us while we walk through the clan'-castle, not finding them in the rooftop, nor in the main-hall, and spreading my senses wide, I find them in the kitchen, not in the lunch-room, as Chen Xin devour food like crazy, while the others watch him in owe, amused, as he usually so tranquil and composed.

"Come" I say with a smile, yet not waiting, grabbing the two girls with each hand, I run in quick-movements, reaching the kitchen in seconds, and let them down, hearing Rongrong burst laughing, pointing at her grandpa, who blush, suddenly acting proper, wiping his mouth neatly, and her other grandpa used the opening he got, while secretly raising a thumb-up to me, probably sensing I came quickly on purpose, as he tell him "No need to hide it now, Rongrong saw your true face, she now know how savage you are!", and they begin bickering, till Rongrong pout, saying "I love you, you two, as long as you act nicely to each other!", and they listen, like trained-dogs, like every parents to a cute little mad child.

"That was fast..." I tell Chen Xin as I sit beside him, devouring food, not minding much about manners, yet, love cleanness, order, and tasting my food, so it just seems like I'm eating fast, and he somehow mimic my style, while Rongrong hug her father and grandpas, before coming over to me, yet sit Tashigi next to me, and she sit beside her, asking her "Show them".

"Oh, God Sword tool-spirit! that's a good one!" Chen Xin tell Tashigi between bites, looking at her yellow crystal blade sword, and I poke his arm, signaling him I need help, and he quietly nod, saying "Hmm, Tashigi, right? I'm Rongrong'-number-1-grandpa, and the strongest in here, plus, cultivating the sword, so why not have a day with me? I'm sure you can benefit a lot from it".

"Thank you, grandpa" Rongrong beam a smile to him, winning everyone love, and Tashigi hold her hand under the table, while also holding mine, not eating, kinda nervous from the whole situation, but Rongrong quickly defuse it all, saying she'll stay as well for the day, easing my mind as well, except the fact I plan to cause some 'trouble' for the people here by tomorrow.

"It's time I'll tell you about the not-so-recent-information, BUT, you must promise to follow my lead...", and once they do, I narrate, slowly, the happenings around the spirit-hall, the 'prince', my plan for tomorrow, and my ultimate goal, to unravel the gods'-inheritors on this continent, already pretty certain that this 'prince' is one of them.

... "So what do you expect us to do?" Fengzhi question me, and I tell him "I planned to get help, but now, after you told me you wish to keep the level-up, and recent clan'-changes, as secrets, 'hidden-cards', then just watch my back?.. Maximum make presence, cause I don't think they'll show themselves if they know others are around, looking".

"I still find it hard to believe, but can't deny the fact you showed me..." Fengzhi sigh, finding it all hard to digest, as this 'prince' fooled him for many years, fooled this whole empire, to the point he's the next in line to be the emperor, making the spirit-hall officially take control over this empire behind everyone' back.

"Let's gather tomorrow an hour after sunset, in the cafe you took me for the first time, to meet the prince, and if you can, make preparation beforehand, maybe you can get a side room, preferably in a nearby cafe. The best option is you doing nothing at all, just watch from the sideline, without me making a signal of help toward you" I suggest my plan, and they all nod.

"Good luck. Be a good student" I tell Tashigi, and also Rongrong, who too spoiled around her family, cutely blushing, yet nodding, leave the communication-devices, walkies-talkies from Earth, modified by Bulma, to use as a signal between us, explain again how to use it, and *teleport*.

.

"Sexual harassment" Bi-Ji mock sweetly, finding her in the balcony, just where I last saw her, and I *laugh*, responding "You remind me of a woman.. I wonder how's she doing now.. Anyway, is expressing platonic affection is also sexual harassment? Oh, are we not friends, and I mistook it all along?", and she fidget cutely, breaking her mature act, blubbering "We are, but, I mean, You, I, it's, whatever!", and as I start laughing again, she join me, yet so politely, covering her mouth with her hand, acting like a proper lady.

*Nodding my head*, "Yeah, you'll be a great queen, or at least a ruler, here" I say, appreciating this lady, and call Snowy over, seeing her materializing, looking magnificent, but the moment I say "Bi Ji, this is my wife, Snowy.. Snowy, Bi-Ji..", thinking 'they've met before, or at least Snowy know about her?', I feel Bi-Bi wishing to come as well, watching her materializing, while exclaiming loudly "Our wife!". *Laugh*, I can't hold my smile, hugging her close, and Snowy face blush red, looking confused at her, probably not used for Bi-Bi enjoying teasing me about her, still not over about the fact we made love without letting her say a thing before.

"Hi" Bi-Bi greets Bi-Ji, as they already met, and she cuddle to me, like she's now marking me, competing with Snowy over me, but Snowy focus on Bi-Ji, asking "Aren't you the little Swan who followed that black-dragon around in the past?", and Bi-Ji, who struck with awe, nod shyly, acting like a little-girl, responding "Yeah, it's such a pleasure to meet you again! You really helped me a lot!", and while they're chatting, I'm busy teasing Bi-Bi, 'punishing' this cutey.

... "Okay! I'll do it!" Bi-Ji find determination, announcing her becoming an active role in governing this place, influenced by Snowy, and I pull Snowy toward me and Bi-Bi, hugging those two on my lap, while signaling Bi-Ji to join us, watching her sitting down in front of us.

"For now, our plans are information, intel, about everything that's going on in this continent, mainly the two empires, and Spirit-hall, but also aiming outside, to a place called sea-god-island, plus another continent, which is rumored a lot between sea-sailors..." I explain to Bi-Ji the future path.

"Then what am I suppose to do?" She asks, and I smile, answering "You already do that, and extremely well.. Build a beast-kin-community, centered around here, while creating mutual-relationships, and corporations, between us and any other beast-kin-communities, gathering a force".

"But I'm against wars! I refuse to fight!" Bi-Ji proclaim, and I smile, telling her "Do you know who does not fight? Who no one wish to fight? Of course you do, as you're the same, the strong one. We must be so strong that the enemy will give-up on going to war against us, to do whatever he can to avoid angering us, and with that, a real peace can becomes. Peace is between powerful entities, not between the weak and the strong. We must be strong" I talk for a long time, but I do feel it bare it fruits, as Bi-Ji nod her head in agreement, realizing power can create more than peace, it can guarantee beast-kin protection from humans.

"Do whatever you see fit. I trust you. I'll talk to the Ming brothers, but you know them, so, just corporate with them, like before, nothing changed, except the perception of you.. You know.. You should act more formally, with more dignity, because the people here look at you now" I say, smiling happily, as the last serious-talk between us she said to me the same thing, sending me to a spiral of soul-searching about 'what a true leader looks like', but now it reverse on her.

"I'm.." Bi-Ji fidget shyly, confused, uncertain at herself, and I quickly ease her mind, saying with a smile "I'm just joking, you're already way better than I could wish for, come on, we're friends, can't I tease you? And thanks again for saying that to me last time, I believe it changed much of my immature perception of societies".

"I'm... You're... Your a great leader, sorry if I stepped out of line..." Bi-Ji opens up a bit, but still annoy me with the distance she keeps from me, yet I choose to let her finish speaking, listening quietly, as she say "...You are the best thing that happened to beast-kin ever since I remember, I was just afraid, that maybe others, who are more militant, hot-blooded, will see this as weakness.. Not everyone saw how truly benevolent leader you are".

"Oh, come on, I'll blush here, I might even think you're falling in love with me" I tease her, but by her blush I suddenly reminded about Shakky, and how the blurred-lines of our platonic-friendship broke apart, kinda torn-apart if a friendship can exist between me and a woman, and just *smile*, saying "See ya soon, Bi-Ji", and let the girls say goodbye as well, chatting between themselves, while I tour a bit around, checking everything alright, passing the new command about Bi-Ji, and soon take the girls back, and *teleport*.

.

...Eating dinner with some of the girls, as most of them busy cultivating or went to find soul-rings for themselves, having a really easy-going, as they've got cultivation-technique, resources, guidance, and whatnot, letting them burst through the ranks quickly, and together with the training between themselves, plus stronger, or weaker, ones here, there's an amazing balance of fast-growth between us all.

"So explain to me again what you wish to achieve tomorrow?" Robin asks for the second time, still not fully in sync with this world, and I tell her "Intel, of course, as she's probably got deep knowledge about Spirit-hall, even if she's undercover in the empire since childhood, plus, exposing her true martial-soul, cause we presume her spirit-soul has something to do with the gods, and finally, implement a master-servant-pact upon her, gaining control, making her a puppet for us, a double-undercover-agent, as she'll conquer the empire, but not for Spirit-hall, rather, for us" I say, trying to sort my mind as well.

"The drones are up and running, but, they can't reach too far, so we need soul-power-engines, probably..." Bulma complains, feeling tired from trying to solve the problem, but I tell her "We can just set-sail, and the drones will circle the ship? Or better yet, I'll fly to a location, let them scan the area, everyday, to map this world, slowly, like I did from the first place".

"Sure", "Yeah, sounds legit", "We'll get it ready before the trip is over", Bulma, Beau, and Umi tell me, and we resume eating, noticing that we're already the only ones left here, but they leave me as well, joining the other, somehow leaving me alone, eating happily, as in front of my eyes, almost all my women are around, spread around the whole area, making me wish to build something new in this space now, like a deep-wish to a permanent home, even for a week, or just a fun activity.

... After creating a huge bonfire, while spreading drinks, mostly wine, with snacks, on picnic blankets, all around it, I set up a huge barbecue, putting on it exquisite delicacies, teasing the girls with this enticing smells, and soon, a bonfire-party erupt, as the girls begin waking-up from their cultivation, dancing around, eating, drinking, singing, dancing, having a fucking blast of a time.
