Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

2/3

----------

After this embarrassing bit, they all lazes around and starts getting along with each other really well, with the immortal-like young man and the scholarly beauty finally getting used to their current connection with the young man's mother and the beauty's master being sworn sisters.

For until deep into the night, they enjoyed each other's company until one of them already feel really tired, that being the bubbly young beauty with her still young physique, causing her to tire out faster than the others, the other beauties, Hong Lian, Hua Xian'er and Astaria following suit as they also feel quite exhausted from the trip, making only Tang Jianxue, Su Meiyao, and Dao Xuanyuan being the only people remaining along with Su Xiaotian.

"Dear, catch up with your senior sister first, me and Sister Jianxue will go rest as well~~~" Su Meiyao said as she drags her long-time sworn sister to the bedroom where the other younger beauties go to, the Ascension Realm expert helplessly following the black-haired motherly beauty and getting dragged around as if the lady pulling her is someone far stronger than her, making the entire scene hilarious to the immortal-like young man and the scholarly beauty's eyes.

"Don't make too much of a mess you two!!!" before she got dragged to sleep as well, Tang Jianxue shouted causing the two young people to feel quite surprised, the scholarly beauty shouting in embarrassment as she tries to retort to this master of hers.

"There's nothing happening tonight!!!" she screams, unable to catch on to the implications of what she just said, said implications being caught by the immortal-like young man and immediately using it to his advantage to tease her.

"Tonight?" he asked in an ambiguous tone, his deep voice causing the scholarly beauty's skin to shiver as she tries her best to keep her calm composure while she turns around to face him, the cheeky smile on his face causing her to swore to herself that she will always be careful with her words when she's with him from now on.

"What? You want to have a piece of this senior sister of yours?" trying to take the initiative, the scholarly beauty said with a teasing smile on her face as she returns to her seat, calmly taking out a book from her spatial ring and starting to read it, pretending that the immortal-like young man's presence doesn't bother her a single bit.

Seeing how she acts, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but snicker as he approaches her, eventually ending near face to face with her with the book she is reading being the only thing that separating them from seeing each other eye to eye, something that will eventually be moved out of the way as well as he grabs on it and snatches it from her.

"W-what are you doing!?" seeing his face in panic, Dao Xuanyuan couldn't help but stutter her words as she pulls back from her position, going further and further away from the immortal-like young man who is currently laughing his heart out right now.

"Senior sister, this book is quite interesting…." After laughing his heart out for a few moments, Su Xiaotian starts explaining, causing her to feel less weary as she approaches him once again, only for him to hand the book to her before she could even start asking a question to him.

"What is so interesting about this book?" knowing that this book is just one with some surface-level, simple history of the Eastern Continent, Dao Xuanyuan couldn't help but ask at the young man clearly teasing her, trying to find out just what is it that made the book so interesting to his eyes.

"Is it really supposed to be read upside down?" Su Xiaotian pointed out as he returns the book the exact same way he takes it away from her, causing the beauty to take a look at it again, her eyes widening in disbelief as she tries comprehending what is it that she had just done.

'Dear heavens, save me from this embarrassment…' she thought to herself as she quickly corrects the orientation of the book she is trying to read, her method of diverting her attention away from the young man now quite ineffective as her mind starts getting flooded by the awkward scene of her pretending to read something and being caught by him.

"T-this is a good method to improve spatial awareness…" she starts bullshitting her explanation with a confident and knowledgeable expression on her beautiful face, making her claim appear all the more believable to anyone but the young man's eyes, yet despite him knowing the truth, he just opted to go with her reasons as he knows that he shouldn't really push her too much now.

"Whatever you say senior sister, enjoy reading your book" Su Xiaotian said as he waves his hands while trying to go outside to observe the night sky, the scholarly beauty seeing him move dropping the pretending act and following just right behind him.

Looking at the skies brightly lit by the sea of stars seemingly just an arm length reach, the two of them couldn't help but smile as they marvel at the beauty of the space above, the two of them having particular fondness towards this sort of thing making the two of them feel like there's something that connects them even more now.

"The Dao Enlightenment Competition starts two days from now…" Dao Xuanyuan said as both of them continues to observe the night sky, with her hands stretching out as if she's trying to reach for the stars.

"Auntie Jianxue forgot to say that, thanks for mentioning this to me, senior sister Xuanyuan" Su Xiaotian replied with a smile on his face, a modest smile that the scholarly beauty fails to see as she is all too focused on the skies currently.

"Fellow daoist, no I mean, Brother Xiaotian, I'm just doing what I want, no need to thank me~" she said with a gleeful tone as she feels like they are closer now, a feeling far more than when the two of them exchanges pointers with each other during the time they compete in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm.

"Still, this is something that needs to be repaid…" the immortal-like young man insisted as he turns around, meeting gaze with the scholarly beauty as she also looks at him, making them a bit surprised since the two of them didn't expect to stare at each other like this.

"…so tell me senior sister, what is it that you really want?" he said with a smile on his face, his smile something that appears to be able to tempt even the divines with the strongest of wills, and despite this fact, the scholarly beauty merely got dazed for a while before she manages to regain herself.

"Then, let's fight to our heart's content tomorrow…" she replied as she thought that it will be too boring to just fight with him in their avatar during the Dao Enlightenment Competition, but she just couldn't wait for the competition to end before she exchanges pointers with him once again, her words clearly showing just how much she wants to fight with him again.
