Journey, and Camping

--- Chapter 5 ---

Watching the slowly shrinking Sirius Royal Palace, Sun Yi sighed in relief while sitting on a black-furred wolf beast. After some arrangements with his mother, Sun Yi finally left that damned place. 

Sun Yi had never felt safe living in that palace for over two months. 

The sense of freedom filled Sun Yi's body. 

"Your Highness, how is the saddle?" Lu Xia approached me with her ride, which was a blue-furred tiger.

Sun Yi smiled and replied, "I've never felt so comfortable, Xia." 

"Rakh is also a good boy." He added while scratching the wolf. 

Au~!

The tamed demonic beast whined cheerfully.

Beast Race lived alongside humans and other races in the Primal Qi World. 

They have three realms, just like the Human cultivation system.

The categories are Wild, Demonic, and Wicked.

Night Wolf Sun Yi rode belonged to the second category, equal to Mid-stage or 6th Level of Spiritual Realm Expert. It has a thin bloodline of Night Devourer Wolf, a peak Wicked Beast.

Sun Yi chose Night Wolf as his ride and companion because it has 100,500 potential values and the aura of an ancient wolf. 

The same goes for Lu Xia's ride, Azure Tiger. 

The Demonic Beast's potential value is only slightly lower than Night Wolf, which is 98,000. It is also an aura of a giant tiger. 

Sun Yi and Lu Xia smiled at each other before increasing their speeds to the east border. 

They have to reach the Heavenly Path Sect within a week or less.

Unfortunately, only Peak Heaven Realm Expert could fly. 

Black Wolf and Blue Tiger traveled across the great wilderness skillfully by dodging trees and rocks. 

After twelve hours of traveling, the Demonic Beasts are tired, which leaves them with no choice but to rest. 

It was evening already, anyway. 

Lu Xia surveyed the area and told Sun Yi there was a Wild Beast's Nest nearby. It was a suitable place to rest for the night and camouflage their presence in this vast area.

Lu Xia pulled her spear and said, "Your Highness, please wait here. I will deal with the Wild Beast first."

"This, Xia, can I watch you fight?" Sun Yi knew Lu Xia was at the 6th Level of Spiritual Realm but had never watched her fight. 

All the assassins sent toward Sun Yi were dealt with silently by her. 

Lu Xia pondered for a second before nodding, "Okay." 

"But you must stay behind me, Your Highness." 

Sun Yi nodded and followed Lu Xia to the Wild Beast's Nest. It was a pond surrounded by trees and bushes. 

As Lu Xia stepped into the beast's territory, a massive python pounced on her and swung its body like a whip. 

"10,000, huh? Too low." Sun Yi activated his ability and saw the python's potential value. 

Lu Xia calmly breathed in and faintly covered her spear with Spiritual Qi, slashing toward the serpent. Her movement is smooth and fast, leaving a trail of dust.

Slash!

The python got sliced in half.

'Woah, one attack, one kill.' Sun Yi praised Lu Xia in his mind. 

After that, Lu Xia pulled a knife and harvested the python's gallbladder, which is very nutritious for Earth Realm Practitioners like Sun Yi. 

Even though Sun Yi's mother has prepared cultivation resources for him, having more is never wrong. Wild Beast's flesh is also beneficial for satiating one's hunger and stamina recovery.

Lu Xia wiped her hand with a napkin and said, "Your Highness, I'd prepare the camp and cook Python Soup for you." 

"You can rest under that tree and wait." 

"Mm." Sun Yi nodded and rested under the tree that Lu Xia pointed to. 

He picked the Blood Thickening Pill from his spatial ring, an Earth-grade Medicine to increase Blood Qi's developing speed by 100%. And It is the highest quality at that.

As expected from the imperial family, playing pay-to-win in the Cultivation World.

Sun Yi wasn't complaining, though. He swallowed the Blood Thickening Pill and used the Northern Qi Breathing Method to condense more drops of Blood Qi. 

So far, Sun Yi has condensed 30 drops of Blood Qi. 

At the same time, he also cultivated Exploding Force, Body Flickering, Star Butcher, and Illusion Breaking Eyes. Although Sun Yi hasn't grasped their entry stage, he was close to it. 

According to Lu Xia's advice, Sun Yi must gather 100 drops of Blood Qi and refine his Primal Qi first. It would be easier to cultivate the Martial Technique after that.

Thirty minutes passed, and Sun Yi's nostrils smelled a pleasant aroma.

He opened his eyes and exhaled dirty air, "Smell delicious, Xia." 

"I'm glad you like it, Your Highness." Lu Xia smiled while rotating her wooden spoon like a pinwheel.

They sat down and enjoyed their meal, watching the sunset. 

Filling their stomachs, Sun Yi felt a warm sensation in his stomach, which made Lu Xia giggle.

"Do you feel the difference now, Your Highness?" 

"Although you have eaten many Wild Beasts and even Demonic Beast's meat, only now does your body react like this."

"It happened because you just started your cultivation."

"Not cultivating Blood Qi is also a form of training."

"It made your foundation firm and physique strong enough to handle Primal Qi later by consuming heaven and earth treasure or training." 

"Your case is the former. It is rare for someone your age to start now." 

"Does that mean I have more potential than others?" Sun Yi's blue eyes lit up.

Lu Xia had a funny expression, "No, your foundation is just better than others, Your Highness." 

"The older you get, the more potential you waste actually." 

"The method you and most rich families used was only eligible until the age of ten." 

"One thing for sure, it is not a bad thing." 

"I see..." Sun Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

Lu Xia cleaned the utensils by the pond and commented, "I've prepared a tent for us."

"Wait, a tent? Are we sleeping together?" Sun Yi stared at Lu Xia's bubbly rear and swallowed his saliva.

Lu Xia gave him a smirk, "Of course. How else am I supposed to protect you when you're sleeping?" 

Thud!

Sun Yi reached for his chest, feeling his heart beating rapidly. 

'Damn it. I'm not a virgin! I had some girlfriends before, so why am I so nervous?'

'No, wait. I am a virgin in this world, fuck...' 

Sun Yi cursed this prince's body. 

Unlike the other princes, who liked to play with women, the original Sun Yi loved to laze around and read books all day. However, the original Sun Yi has fused with him, making a complicated feeling driven by hormones bloom inside.

Sun Yi peeked at Lu Xia.

Lu Xia is an attractive woman in her early twenties. She is 178 centimeters tall, wearing a blue-white maid outfit, and styled her brown hair in a short braid. Her body is lean with DD-cup breasts and bubble butts. On top of that, she wore white thigh highs with a matching garter belt, making her long legs stand out.

After cleaning the utensils, Lu Xia killed the bonfire and signaled Sun Yi to enter the tent. 

Sun Yi moved like a robot and lay down on the mattress. He could feel Lu Xia's step and her presence in the tent. 

"Your Highness." Lu Xia's warm breath brushed Sun Yi's neck.

"Yes..." Sun Yi responded softly. 

Lu Xia moved slightly and pushed her soft twin mountains against Sun Yi's back, "You can hug me if you can. The night is going to be cold." 

Sun Yi felt a shiver down his spine. His pants felt tighter immediately. 

He cleared his throat and said, "Ehem, my arms are cramped." 

"Why don't you hug me instead, Xia?" 

"Then, pardon me, Your Highness." 

Sun Yi suddenly felt two slender arms around his waist, pulling him deeper into Lu Xia's embrace. 

He could smell Lu Xia's pleasant scent and sighed because he should have controlled him better. 

He thought two months were enough to regain this body's control. Welp, he couldn't control his teenager's hormones. 

"Good night, Your Highness." Lu Xia snuggled by Sun Yi's neck.

Sun Yi breathed in, "Please, don't leak..." 

After that, Sun Yi forced himself to sleep. Unfortunately, he can't, so he chooses to meditate instead.

Unknown to Sun Yi, Lu Xia is blushing hard right now. She talked with Sun Yi's mother before their journey, and it was a surprising conversation between them, which led to an unthinkable topic.

'Xia, Sun Yi is still young. If you want to, you can be his concubine.' The playful voice of Lu Wan'er echoed in Lu Xia's mind.

'Heh, you can even be his wife. Just play your card right. You have more than enough qualifications.' 

'I don't think I can, Mistress...' Lu Xia's eyes blinked, gazing at Sun Yi's handsome face from behind.

That night, two young hearts pounded nervously in a tent.
