Wei Chen leaned back against the cold stone pillar of the Azure Pavilion, watching rain fall upward instead of down due to the void pressure outside. His hood hid most of his face but not the golden flecks that glowed in his eyes as he watched a group of disciples struggle with heavy cultivation stones nearby. Su Mei stood beside him, her fingers tracing circles on his forearm while she whispered secrets only they could hear about the merchant's secret ingredients hidden inside those cheap pills.
She pressed closer until their bodies touched along every line where skin met fabric, letting the void energy leak between them without burning anything in sight around them since this was public ground despite being high above the clouds. Wei Chen grinned as he caught one of her hands and pulled it lower to rest against his hipbone while she laughed softly under her breath like wind chimes ringing in a stormy night sky far away from here where they were now standing today after buying everything they needed for their next phase ahead.
"Let me show you something," Su Mei murmured, pulling him toward the edge of the pavilion where three disciples tried to lift boulders that floated too high above them before crashing down onto grass below without breaking anything because gravity had already shifted underfoot recently thanks to Wei Chen's presence alone acting as anchor point for reality itself. One young man stumbled backward and caught himself on a wooden beam while his eyes widened in realization when he felt warmth travel up his spine from the stone floor beneath him—a sign of collective growth within the group triggered by proximity to Wei Chen's stabilized core during their intimacy ritual earlier that day before they came here today for business meetings.
Wei Chen stepped forward raising one hand high above his head so its reflection caught moonlight despite being at night in a sky devoid of stars anymore since clouds swirled like boiling soup where void mist drifted outside near the floating district market stalls selling cheap pills wrapped in paper that glowed faintly under sunlight even though sold for silver only instead of spirit stones because Wei Chen's team had bulk-bought them earlier at an auction house nearby before coming here today to finish trade deals with merchants who knew better than most people what was really going on beneath surface level where everyone pretended everything was normal despite shadows detaching from walls independently now testing new limits without warning anyone else besides just those few who listened closely enough when voices spoke inside their own skulls rather than air around them saying waiting is over because time has run out finally after centuries spent sealed away until Wei Chen's core woke them up with his presence alone.
He turned back toward Su Mei whose eyes were now glowing faintly white instead of blue—a sign her cultivation had advanced through direct contact with his void core during their intimacy ritual while she held him steady against the abyssal wind that threatened to tear them apart mid-air if they hadn't locked together just seconds before standing right here where we are reading this story currently as I write these words down onto paper inked black on white parchment sheets stacked neatly beside each other waiting patiently until next chapter arrives tomorrow morning when sun rises higher above horizon line marking beginning of new day forever changing everything known about cultivation methods lost centuries ago during wars that destroyed records entirely when empires fell apart piece by piece over time leaving behind only fragments left scattered across realms unknown to commoners who walked streets below while cultivators flew 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 with speed tricks he perfected long ago before meeting Su Mei first time back when they were both younger and stronger than now though still powerful enough to handle whatever comes next together since bond sealed tighter every single day passing by faster than usual lately due to pressure building up inside core waiting for release soon.
