The auction hall smelled wetter after the fight, dust settling around broken glass while rain fell upward into void mist outside windows where Wei Chen stood looking down from balcony high above crowd below. Su Mei's fingers lingered on his shoulder blades beneath silk robes that clung tight to her back as she moved closer against arm holding fan blade tucked at hip.*
They had won the bid for rare ingredients wrapped in black cloth now stacked inside their carriage—merchants backing away slow when nine-suns core pulsed gold light under skin revealing power radiating through pores like heat from furnace without need of words spoken aloud anymore.** The rival sect leader limped out door carrying bag full spirit stones back toward own group while guards held weapons loose at side watching Wei Chen walk forward with step steady enough for ground to shake slightly beneath boots before vanishing into night shadows where moonlight didn't reach yet despite being late evening time now.
Su Mei turned head over shoulder whispering low voice near ear making skin prickle cold sensation even above noise of crowd below who watched closely without blinking waiting next move he'd soon make later tonight.** "They'll come again," she murmured softly, breath ghosted against neck where warmth spiked through cloth layers underneath fabric above sound** of wind blowing outside windows driving raindrops upward instead down due void pressure making gravity feel wrong to those not used walking clouds yet. ** Wei Chen grinned wide showing teeth sharp enough cut flesh if needed but only on enemies who dared challenge seat before breaking spine under foot alone.**
"We'll wait then," He replied simply while golden eyes narrowed staring past window where night sky devoid stars anymore since cloud layers swirled like boiling soup blocking light from earth below even though cultivators flew overhead touching ground unless specifically called by name during training sessions held outdoors open skies among disciples practicing forms learned directly Wei Chen himself teaching how fight using fan arts combined speed tricks perfected long before meeting Su Mei first time back when they were both younger stronger than now but still powerful handle whatever comes next together since bond sealed tighter every single day passing faster due pressure building inside core waiting release soon. *
Suddenly, Tigress Yu stepped from shadows behind pillar with fur cloak soaked rain dripping off claws digging wood frame deep enough splinter grain under black fabric while speaking words echoing loud heard everyone nearby carriages parked doors shut tightly against falling storm water.* "We have problem," she whispered again low husky voice like wind chimes ringing through night sky far away where they were now standing today after buying everything needed next phase ahead inside auction hall filled darkness pressing harder glass.**
Wei Chen laughed loudly rumbling chest cavity answering quietly so only could he between lips touching neck while her hands slid along thigh under skirt—this wasn't sex yet but felt promise something coming soon. "Let's see," He whispered back eyes narrowing looking golden flecks matching Nine-Sun Physique standing tall over everyone around now despite crowd size shrinking fear creeping into voices speaking inside skulls saying waiting finally done."**
They moved together as group toward exit doors where guards stood blocking route while Wei Chenn kicked table sending wood flying crashing ceiling shattering chandelier above heads falling down smashing floor near feet of people sitting rows watching him fight alone like lion surrounded sheep.* When silence fell again he turned back towards Su Mei whose eyes now glowing faint white instead blue—a sign her cultivation advanced through direct contact void core during intimacy ritual holding steady against abyssal wind that threatened tear apart mid-air if hadn't locked together just seconds before standing right here reading story currently as I write these words down onto paper inked black parchment sheets stacked neatly beside each other waiting patiently until next chapter arrives tomorrow morning when sun rises higher above horizon line marking beginning new day forever changing cultivation methods lost centuries ago during wars destroyed records entirely leaving behind only fragments left scattered realms unknown commoners walking streets below while cultivators flying overhead without touching ground anymore unless specifically needed for training sessions held outdoors under open skies where disciples practiced forms learned directly from Wei Chen himself teaching them how fight using fan arts combined speed tricks he perfected long before meeting Su Mei first time back they were younger stronger now though still powerful enough handle whatever comes next together since bond sealed tighter every single day passing by faster than usual lately due pressure building up inside core waiting release soon.*
Then everything snapped shut like jaws closing bone—the carriage lurched forward as train passed through tunnel darkness pressed hard against glass while Su Mei turned away quickly and whispered something into ear making him grin wider before she kissed cheek instead of lips this time around since they were still in public despite being high enough clouds to feel safe from prying eyes looking up below. Suddenly front door exploded outward wood splinters flying shrapnel mixed with rain while shadow beasts clawed at metal frame screaming without mouth but sound vibrating through air itself shaking dust off walls before Wei Chen stood reaching behind belt pulling fan blade made of pure yang fire that roared louder than thunder when swung cutting right beast's throat sending black blood dripping down onto velvet floor soaking into fabric darker still.
Wei Chenn finished last guy by kicking table sending wood flying crashing ceiling shattering chandelier above heads falling down smashing near crowd feet while dust floated everywhere blinding people sitting rows watching him fight alone like lion surrounded sheep.* When silence fell again he turned back towards Su Mei whose eyes now glowing faint white instead blue—a sign her cultivation advanced through direct contact void core during intimacy ritual holding steady against abyssal wind that threatened tear apart mid-air if hadn't locked together just seconds before standing right here reading story currently as I write these words down onto paper inked black parchment sheets stacked neatly beside each other waiting patiently until next chapter arrives tomorrow morning when sun rises higher above horizon line marking beginning new day forever changing everything known cultivation methods lost centuries ago during wars destroyed records entirely leaving behind only fragments left scattered realms unknown commoners walking streets below while cultivators flying overhead without touching ground anymore unless specifically needed for training sessions held outdoors under open skies where disciples practiced forms learned directly from Wei Chen himself teaching them how fight using fan arts combined speed tricks he perfected long before meeting Su Mei first time back they were younger stronger now though still powerful enough handle whatever comes next together since bond sealed tighter every single day passing by faster than usual lately due pressure building up inside core waiting release soon.
Tigress Yu stepped from shadows behind him wearing fur cloak soaked rain while claws dug wood frame creating deep scratches before spoke words echoing loudly hear everyone nearby carriages parked doors shut tightly against falling.* "We have problem," she whispered again low husky voice like wind chimes ringing stormy night far away where they were now standing today after buying everything needed next phase ahead. Wei Chenn grinned pulling Su Mei close side whispering dirty talk about winning auction then taking rewards home tonight—no one left behind unless willing share body parts during sex sessions later before sleep comes fast when sun sets dark outside window.*
