Knock. Languidly turning to the door, Wei Wuyin informed casually: "It's open." As his voice traveled through the air, upon reaching the door, as if expecting that response, the door opened.
The visitor was Su Mei. She was garbed in a light, form-fitted white, gold, and silver hanfu without any battle or beautifying adornments. She walked as if she were gliding upon light. Her lips glistened with a softness, her eyes gleamed with purity, and her black hair was stylized with vibrant volume, sliding down her shoulder to her chest while bouncing ever-so-slightly. Rarely did she ever wear rouge or, if ever, yet the small amounts applied here amplified her feminine qualities without diminishing her valiant bearing.
She was a breath of fresh air in a tainted world. A ray of light shining after a long night. A flower that only ever bloomed once in a lifetime.
".1" Wei Wuyin was stunned, words left his soul for a moment—truly speechless.
Su Mei stood a few feet from the door. Looked at him, calmly brushed one of the loose strands of her hair originating from her curtain bangs, not saying a single thing, and just waited with a steady posture. The door closed behind her.
Wei Wuyin didn't know how long it took before he regained the ability to speak, but when he did, he felt refreshed and energized. With a heavy breath that seemed to expel, he slowly rose with a radiant smile.
"We," a simple word of appreciation that contained his purest feelings, something even 5,000 words of appreciation, flowery praise, and colorful descriptions would never match, and even if he tried, Wei Wuyin knew that whether 5,000 or five million, they would never convey his thoughts as in his eyes, the world itself has yet to create a series of sentences of a single word that could genuinely reflect his thoughts.
And for them, that word contained enough meaning to do just that.
Su Mei blushed so intensely that her cheeks grew a sensual pink. She lightly pursed her lips, but she didn't drop her gaze, unafraid of accepting every ounce of feelings from the man before her. She had once yearned for it secretly, and now that she had it, there was no need to shy from accepting all of it. With a heart that was threatening to burst out of her chest, she softly replied: "We."
Wei Wuyin's smile widened. Then, he walked over and held her by the waist, felt the material of her outfit, and smelled the alluring fragrance lingering in her hair. It was sweet.
"Wei Xiaotian?" Wei Wuyin asked.
Su Mei nodded. "She said this would help you after the private auction. It seems she was right."
Both Wei Xiaotian, Su Mei, and Qing Qiumu had a degree of connection with Wei Wuyin that far exceeded the norm, and while they were all different, they could each read his emotions and thoughts with cunning precision even without the senses bestowed by Akashic Energy or the Mind Dao. They weren't the only ones.
Xue Yifei, Mei Mei, Wen Mingna, and a few of his other women had varying degrees of perception and sensitivity towards his emotions.
For example, Wei Xiaotian felt his rising tension and fear, the latter of which he felt constantly, but used it to fuel him to make critical decisions and take decisive action, never dropping his guard or suffering paralysis from choice. This ever-present fear allowed him to be mindful and conscious of those close to him.
These feelings of fear had been amplified since he entered the Utmost Purity Galaxy. He had taken risk after risk after risk after risk, daring to courageously stamp his mark into the galaxy with ever-growing ambitions. This had led her to almost beg him to take her chastity to increase his chances of success on his ventures.
She had tried several ways to lessen the tension within his heart, from designing him a new outfit to things like this.
Before then, she was unable to process what feelings he felt, and only when Su Mei described his state of mind just before they arrived at the Utmost Purity Galaxy had she been able to grasp his emotions, realizing it was fear, and was later overwhelmed by it. She did not expect Wei Wuyin to be under such excessive pressure.
While things seemed to be easily performed, those closest to him understood how on the edge each of his actions were, and many of which were executed on bluffs, gumption, incredibly well-devised plans, and a little bit of luck.
Wei Wuyin laughed, "Am I so simple?" A beautiful and devoted woman dressing for his gaze and his gaze only left him as giddy as a child.
Su Mei stared into his eyes. Her black eyes caused his Alchemic Stars of Unparalleled Creation to subconsciously deactivate, exposing the charming silver eyes of a Magi. " "Yes. Yes, you are." With a sly lift of her lips, Su Mei gained an utterly bewitching allure far unlike her peerlessly valiant self. Then, she moved forward by one step, allowing him to embrace her waist with both hands, and she leaned into his chest, laying her head on it, and using her ear to hear the powerfully resonant booms of his heart beat, thriving with life. "But I like that."
"." Wei Wuyin silently smiled, enjoying the sounds of her serene and comfortable breathing, and the warmth of her head on his chest. 'What did I do to deserve this life? To deserve these feelings?"
subconsciously, amidst his happiness, he thought of the man with silver hair and black eyes trapped within that cage, giving her a decisive bite that imbued him with the Bloodline of Sin. From that moment on, his life's trajectory had changed in immeasurable ways.
From a little flat continental earth, he rose to become a ruler of multiple galaxies and his own empire. A truly unimaginable tale that felt like a dream.
But if it was a dream, he would never wish to wake from it. Ever.
The two stayed in each other's embrace for an unknown period of time. Only when the soft sensations of Su Mei began to elicit a great dragon rising reaction did she tactfully retreat, escaping his embrace without any force. "Sister Songli is waiting for you." Her words caused Wei Wuyin, who was just about to reach out to sweep her off her feet, to pause all momentum and plans.
I didn't forget! Wei Wuyin wanted to say those words, but seeing Su Mei's straightforward, no-nonsense gaze, he understood that any further action would be declined despite her own desires.
In truth, it had been a while. The Alchemic Clash against the Zeniths caused him to experience fifteen years of forced sexual abstinence. As someone who had only recently turned a hundred years old, this was an extremely long time. If not for his cultivation back then alongside the experiences of the temporal endlessness of the Second Calamity, he might have been driven mad with boredom.
After all, his concoction speed was still stupendously fast for a Heavenly Saint Alchemist. So much of the time was useless.
"How's Bai Lin?" Su Mei skillfully changed the topic as she hid her own rising excitement by sitting on the couch, yet before Wei Wuyin, none of it could be hidden. In the end, he accepted that nothing more would happen.
"She's digesting the energy and materials I sent her from the Incinerated Dominion's explosion,” Wei Wuyin touched the Myriad Yore Necklace hanging on his neck. It was emitting a soft warmth.
Wei Wuyin had left Bai Lin with Zhou Yiyin, and when the Incinerated Dominion detonated, she went out on her own under his watch to seize materials, competing for treasures. He allowed her to freely acquire on her own merit until the situation grew chaotic. Then, Bai Lin returned to the Myriad Yore Continent within the Void Crystal, choosing to digest the materials there.
Wei Wuyin then slyly and stealthily acquired a lot of rarer materials, especially Mystic- Heaven graded materials and fire essences. After all, he didn't violate any rules when participating, given that he was beneath the True Sage Phase, and while Bai Lin might rival a True Sage, she was an exception on par with Void Creatures and other entities. They harvested a lot.
An extreme amount! Su Mei reached out and caressed the Myriad Yore Necklace.
Kree! A nearly inaudible clarion cry resounded. Yet again, another rare smile was brought to her lips. She missed Bai Lin. In fact, Xiao Bai was constantly asking about her state. That haughty little thing wanted to see her again.
Given that both of them often entered accelerated temporal zones to refine alchemical products, they hadn't seen her in almost a century. While Wei Wuyin was unable to effectively utilize these accelerated regions for cultivation, the Valkyrie and Ascendants used them excessively, especially Mystic-Rank Variants of the Neo-Dawn Vortex-Zone Pellet, which assisted in comprehending time.
"I'm a little worried she might undergo her Fourth Nirvanic Transformation,” Wei Wuyin voiced out his heart's concerns.
"I understand. But that's fine; if she grows stronger, then she'll be able to accompany you to greater, wider, and brighter skies." Su Mei expertly consoled, placating both Bai Lin and Wel Wuyin's hearts. "Your rate of growth is fast. Too fast" she remarked honestly.
Wei Wuyin's cultivation base hasn't grown much, but his achievements in cultivation as a whole have grown explosively. Just the three feats of achieving six Major Authorities of Heavenly Law, attaining the Alchemic Stars of Unparalleled Creation, and creating the Eye of Samsara were enough to be individually insane, especially the Eye of Samsara. The Eye of Samsara's Samsara Spiritual Energy not only elevated the limits of his cultivation, but it could be used as a substitute for Soul Energy; its strength was not based on his Soul or True Soul's cultivation, but the strength, purity, and qualities of his Spiritual Energy.
This meant his level of Spiritual Strength directly dictated how strong the Samsara Spiritual Energy was relative to cultivated souls. He didn't have an in-depth understanding of its knowledge, but he swiftly discovered that despite overcoming several Calamities of Hell, the Samsara Spiritual Energy from his Eye of Samsara was stronger than his Soul Energy!
Initially, when he was relying solely on the King, that wasn't the case, but as he was able to bring all four Astral Souls into the fray, the power far surpassed his Soul Energy. It was due to this that he could easily access and control his Major Spatial Law to bypass the joint spatial restrictions of multiple Supreme Sages.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how to properly classify the Soul or True Soul in levels, or the Soul Energy in tiers, categories, grades, or ranks.
