It took a long while to extricate myself to this blissful place. Theresa did not prevent me from leaving her embrace, knowing I have so much more to do. Still, I did not just stand up and leave.
"Let me check your condition."
"Ah? Hum…"
I signalled for her to face her back at the ceiling. She, who did not wear any clothing, had her plump body exposed in my sight, especially her buttocks. Fortunately, I grew slightly accustomed to its sight. I no longer lost my calm as I began the traditional, after-sex massage. All Creation turned into Life, healing any concept of 'damage' to the true body.
At first, it was fine. Theresa let out those satisfied gasps. Only after I went through them did I notice the strain her body had undergone. The fact I did this meant it was just as harsh as whatever I did to Sirin. But then, I thought about how Theresa was the one who asked for it. I couldn't refuse these kinks of theirs, especially when Theresa inherited Kiana's 'switch' trait. I had to be more flexible than ever.
From Theresa's shoulders down to her jade-like feet, my hands went through them all. She couldn't help but be turned on, and so it happened.
She came.
Her liquids sprayed from her hidden pink slit. It made a straight line, staining the bedsheets. Even when Theresa buried her face on the pillow, she could not hide the redness spreading to her ears and neck.
"S-sorry…"
Her muffled voice came from the pillow. I suppressed the stimulation in my heart, resolving to 'end' our dual cultivation session right here and then.
"Tian." Theresa called out my name. "I-I want to…"
…
…
…
Forget it.
A verdict is swiftly formed in my mind:
I will give Theresa what she wants!
*****
In the far side of the Moon, the place that used to hold the Herrscher of the End's corpse had long since turned into a special forbidden zone. It was filled with nothing but large moon rocks whose surfaces were filled with craters. There was nothing else beside them. It was the place where Kiana stayed during times of crises, or in other cases, when she could not control the power of the Cocoon.
Being able to wholly manipulate its authority did not mean she could properly control its impact. There were times it was far stronger than her limits that Kiana was forced to activate the sole eighth-grade formation on the Moon, consuming both its durability, spiritual qi, and countless other materials.
'What are they doing now..?'
Her thoughts slowly drifted elsewhere. Kiana wasn't particularly controlling, allowing Shi Tian to meet and even get together with his 'future brides'. But, she can't prevent herself from 'stalking' every now and then. Each time she did so, Theresa's 'seclusion' status made her understand one thing—
It is all in the Kaslana bloodline!
The terrifying 'prowess' in bed was shared with her too. Theresa was, after all, made from Kallen Kaslana's genes. Self-aware, Kiana had a feeling it would take a longer time than she had anticipated!
'I haven't considered it…'
Fortunately for her, Shi Tian would have to end it once his dual Tao Bodies complete their fusion. He would have to settle it properly, though she knew nothing of it.
In the end, she could only sigh out of helplessness. Not jealousy, because she had long accepted this outcome. Kiana trusted Shi Tian to the point she unconditionally believed his love—their shared love to each other. That he would do his best to satisfy everyone. To not become a self-serving scumbag who doesn't consider others' feelings.
'That's it! I will spend more time with him!'
Shaking that thought off her mind, she focused back on the reason why she stepped on the Moon's forbidden land. Previously, she wasn't able to sense Finality's presence. Later on, according to Shi Tian's words, it was her future projection at work.
Kiana wasn't someone who would mess up her plan for the sake of curiosity. She won't touch anything related to her future projection, more so when one wrong move could force her out, wasting that 'precious' opportunity she fought for. The enemies Kiana faced on Mars—the ones projected by the future Kiana's power—were nothing but a mere fraction of the horrors she faced.
Today, she felt an urge. It was an intuitive thought that told her to do something, and that was to head to the special forbidden zone.
Just as Kiana was confused about her purpose, someone else had arrived. Her long, white robes fluttered. It was none other than Fu Hua, wearing her Azure Empyrea outfit. The very same robes that she donned back when she was the Master of the Taixuan School.
"Kiana." Her deep, reassuring voice greeted Kiana first. "Did she… Nothing."
Ultimately, Fu Hua chose not to ask about the fragments of the 'future' she knew. The Pseudo True Immortal, Supreme of Falsified Land of Nirvana, was no more. She chose to respect the futures that had long departed. After all, their sole motivation for interfering with the present was to erase their futures.
Kiana saw through Fu Hua's conflict, but she did not point it out. She had grown emotionally to the point she laughed at her past self's recklessness. It wasn't a demerit by all means—
Shi Tian found it cute!
"There should be others…"
Before she could finish speaking, two more rays of light headed in their direction. These lights dissipated, revealing the figures of Vita and Sushang.
"I did not expect for our reunion to come so quickly."
"Scripted! You expected it!"
The mask attached to her waist betrayed Vita's real thoughts.
"Expected or not, it's good that you came."
Kiana wisely defused the awkward situation in a single sentence.
"The end of the sword's way points to the limitless heavens, showing permanence within permanence."
Li Sushang's words felt out of place amongst everyone. They gave her a second look before noticing the hidden vast sharpness within her pupils. It was a form of intent that surpassed the Dao itself, touching upon the concepts of infinity, yet her fluctuations remained all the same.
The 'normal' within the 'abnormal' made everyone think of one thing:
Li Sushang's future projection possessed her!
"The way of a saint is to act naturally without contention, but I declare so otherwise." She paused, seemingly reminiscing of something, "For those are the words of a dead man."
Li Sushang used Hongjun's words not as a form of teaching, but as a warning!
She brandished the dao on her right hand, with its wider body facing her. Cracks appeared in the space inside the special forbidden zone, but everyone did not move against Li Sushang. They sensed she meant no ill intent whatsoever, and for cultivators at their level, it was enough.
"The sword that cuts falsehoods and truths… an end to all contradictions."
Flash-!
Thus, their meeting with the swordsman ended… and their meeting with the Emperor began.
