Fu Hua never expected for their reunion to turn out like this. She happened to see Shi Tian acting intimately with Seele.
To this, the millenia-old Empyrean almost had her processing hardware overloaded.
'Was it like that..?'
Before she knew it, she found herself growing more curious. It wasn't until she snapped out of it did she calm down.
Fu Hua returned after a while which ended up as a formal talk between the two.
'Something's changed.'
For the second time of the day, she went into a daze.
Shi Tian's current appearance and temperament are vastly different from the last time she saw him. It was far more complicated than "handsomeness". His very presence elicits amicability and elegance. At some angles, he possessed a few points of cuteness that would make people swoon. At other angles, it is a sharp look that can dominate someone with a glance.
Simply put, Shi Tian has the appearance of every girl's "dream guy".
"You haven't had any problems with overworking, have you?"
Shi Tian's concerned voice brought her back to reality.
"No. It is of no issue. There are others who took turns handling the sect's affairs."
"I made you work for ten years—"
"That's not the case."
Far from understanding the joke, she seriously replied:
"The supplies you left are vital in Earth's development. It is also advanced enough to support everyone else. Your merits in facing Kevin and giving humanity another chance… it is a debt everyone could not repay."
"..."
Shi Tian paused what he was about to say.
'In their eyes, it's really like that…'
What he thought of as wish fulfillment was seen as noble in others' eyes; rightfully so.
"It's fine, then. You'll have to work more to manage this sect."
Fu Hua was satisfied upon hearing that.
"How's the current supplies running…"
For a while, the two talked about formal affairs. It was here Shi Tian heard of the Wushi Dao Sect's situation.
The storage rings he left to Kiana years prior held different kinds of fifth grade materials. There is also an accumulation of lower grades. Nonetheless, its high grades barely withstood the consumption of the sect.
Back then, Fu Hua decided to take on the finest immortal cultivators on Earth. She has prior experience of choosing talented people from her time as Taixuan School's headmaster.
There was one problem: Earth has too many cultivators.
The current census shows there are 4.5 billion registered immortal cultivators. Their sheer number made it cumbersome to comb through talents. It took years to continuously recruit cultivators according to the sect's criteria.
Their current population numbered over 50 million—over one percent of the entire immortal cultivation population. It is the gathering of the most elite group of immortal cultivators—a holy land that everyone aspires to enter. They are the strongest officially recognized Sect by the Federation.
'No wonder the Dao of Enlightenment is on the peak of a Divine Law. It's right to leave those materials useless to my current realm.'
Earth's population is enough to put most cultivation worlds to shame.
'Fu Hua's temperament is also different from before…'
Unbeknownst to Fu Hua, her serious words have less importance than appreciating her dignified aura.
"Once I settle things, I can hold a Dao Conference. You know, teaching others about immortal cultivation and the likes."
Her eyes lit up on the familiar idea.
"We can work on it. You haven't shown your face for a decade. If it wasn't for Sin Mal…"
"It's alright."
"..."
A sense of embarrassment crept up between the two. Fu Hua being unable to stop Sin Mal from writing her "history" caused a tinge of guilt to emerge on her mind.
It further worsened with Shi Tian doing nothing but staring at her. Her embarrassment manifested tangibly as a faint red on her ears.
This was Shi Tian's breaking point.
'The Class Rep really is cute..'
That thought infected his entire mind.
In the past, as a bonafide player of honkai impact 3rd, his most favorite character is Kiana, followed by Fu Hua. Though this favoritism did not show much, Shi Tian found it relaxing whenever he listened to her mature and calming voice.
Add to that the gap between the serious and the flustered Fu Hua, it dealt a critical strike to his Tao Heart.
'...I am turning more fickle.'
In the end, he let out several coughs to forcibly shatter this screwed up atmosphere.
"I'll add some more demon beasts to the treasury. We'll also have to prepare the others' condensation of Tao Bodies…"
*****
If it was the previous me, I wouldn't have thought like this.
Class Rep…
I am genuinely interested in her.
…
I turned into a full-time scumbag.
Setting aside these chaotic thoughts, I got to know a lot more than what I learned on the outside.
For once, all of the Golden Core Realm cultivators have mastered a fourth grade cultivation side art. The ones majoring in formations and artifact forging gathered together and used all of Earth's spirit veins to form a natural seventh grade formation.
Natural formations do not require materials, merely the spirit veins themselves. Its biggest downside, however, was that the spirit veins would shoulder whatever burden the formation does.
Fortunately, Earth has abundant numbers of spirit veins. Opening a crack to the Imaginary Space and Sea of Quanta would create dozens of spirit veins at once. Earth's exaggerated cultivator population doesn't stand a chance against this cultivation hack.
What's more…
{Two Phase Art: Great Accomplishment}
The Two Phase Art reached the [Great Accomplishment] mastery. It can now affect lifeforms. It can "convert" any unawakened special physiques and turn them into their immortal cultivation equivalent.
Technically, everyone on Earth can undergo this awakening. A small fraction of Earth's cultivators will receive varying Tao Bodies with zero cost. This is yet another one of the perks of falling into a non-cultivation world.
Of course, others can also choose not to awaken their non-cultivation physiques. That way, they can condense a Tao Body using special techniques first—most require the absence of any active Tao Body. Once they have successfully condensed them, they can awaken their non-cultivation physiques.
That way, they will have two Tao Bodies.
It is the same as what I did. I condensed the [Nine Dragons Primordial Universe Body] before achieving the ultimate grade spirit root and condensing the [Ten Lights Immortal Physique].
No matter what happens, all I know is that Earth will be very broken as an immortal cultivation civilization.
"Do you like her? That's no good…"
I looked at Seele who sat on my lap. She faced my direction, having zero hesitation on riding my lap. She isn't satisfied with it and is still moving her butt forward.
"I heard from Sister Kiana that you like big breasts."
"..."
Though she did not say anything, her surprise said it all.
The Class Rep slander reached Seele?!
As if confirming her words, she rested her chest on me. The Stygian Nymph dress she wore emphasized her curves further.
Most importantly, Seele's eyes seeped with nothing but desire. Her quickening breath brushed against my neck.
"We haven't had our time yet. Me and Veliona look forward to it..." She said in a low voice. It made her sound extremely pitiful.
I knew this is the time to put my emotional quotient to use.
Words are no longer required to be said.
I put them into motion.
