Chapter 229 Going into Seclusion
As usual, when Karsha entered the mansion, he was greeted by the same familiar sight: the elders sitting together, chatting about various topics. This time, however, the one seated in the head chair was Yi Ran, who had arrived a few hours earlier. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
June and Mei Lin were seated on one side, while Li Fei, Li Nan, and Lady Li Jing were on the other. Xian was absent, likely busy cultivating in preparation for the Blood Expedition.
"Kid, where have you been?" Elder Chen was the first to ask. He had already fulfilled his part of the deal and was simply waiting for Karsha to appear. The prospect of obtaining a Divine Technique had kept him awake, as he was close to breaking through to the Great Sage level. He needed to master a few new skills to strengthen his path before advancing.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting. Now that I'm back, why don't we get down to business?" Karsha observed various expressions around him. The Four Fairies looked happy and bashful, while Lady Li Jing wore a look of admiration. Karsha wasn't sure what had transpired, but the fact that she hadn't removed her slippers to slap him suggested she wasn't upset that he had taken her daughter's purity.
On the contrary, she seemed grateful her daughter had finally found someone she liked and was ready to settle down with. Seeing the glossy, bashful expression in her daughter's eyes, Lady Li Jing could only smile, happy for her. As a woman, she understood how her daughter was feeling.
"These are all the Tier 5 skills we've gathered. Elder Chen contributed 200, Elder Lin 200, Elder Ben 300, and Assistant Sect Leader Xu brought 400. Additionally, the sect provided 2,500 skill books." Yi Ran, now acting as Sect Master, handed Karsha a space ring. He accepted it with a smile.
Without even glancing inside, Karsha tossed it directly into his inventory, then transmitted the promised technique to Elder Chen."I'll be going into seclusion to prepare for the Blood Expedition. When I return, each of you will receive Tier 20 skills, based on the number of skill books you contributed. Rest assured, I'll make sure you all get the best skills," Karsha said, prompting sighs of relief from the elders.
"The Blood Expedition is three weeks from today. You must come out before then to meet the other disciples who will be participating," Yi Ran said, maintaining her dignified role as Sect Leader. Inside, though, she felt a pang of sadness, knowing Karsha wouldn't take them to Fairyland for the next two weeks.
"I'll do my best to come out early. After all, I have other important matters to handle before the expedition," Karsha replied with a straight face. But deep down, he was smiling, noticing the Four Fairies gazing at him with puppy eyes that only he could discern.
"Lady Li Jing, I intended to take you to your new home, but since Xian is still in seclusion, you'll have to wait until he comes out. I know things might get dull, so I brought you some spells to practice in the meantime," Karsha said, handing her three books.
"I'll be taking my leave now," Karsha added, casting a sidelong glance at June before walking away. For now, they were keeping their relationship a secret from everyone. He wanted to settle down before making any bold moves, especially now that he had killed several experts from the Great Families.
He didn't want to attract too much attention to himself and his companions. However, that didn't mean he intended to keep them hidden forever. Once he saturated and condensed the next Core, he would have the strength to face stronger opponents, even at the Great Sage stage.It was only a matter of time, and he planned to use the upcoming days to saturate the core and concoct the Core Formation Pill and Core Condensing Pill.
He had enough blood to saturate the Lesser Alpha Core but not enough to fully form and condense a new one, so he intended to make the pills and use the Blood Expedition as an opportunity to complete the next Core.
After leaving the Golden Mansion, Karsha quickly made his way to his residence, immediately entering his room to ensure no one saw him. He noticed that many disciples had also gone into seclusion to prepare for the Blood Expedition.
"It took you all longer than I expected." Thirty minutes after entering his room, four individuals came in without knocking. Karsha didn't look surprised, as he had been expecting them.
"Are you really going to go into seclusion without leaving us anything to remember you by?" Yi Ran pouted, holding onto Karsha's right hand as they lay on his bed. He had changed the bed in his room, as the previous one hadn't been comfortable enough for him. June lay on his left, Mei Lin nestled as a pillow, while Yi Ran gently caressed his hand through his robes.
"It's just for two weeks," Karsha said, unsure how to react. As soon as they entered, each of them assumed their place as if they'd already discussed it and planned this formation.
"Two weeks is a long time," June said, acting like a spoiled princess.
"Shouldn't you all be cultivating right now?" Karsha asked.
"We want to cultivate with you, at least for a day." Karsha looked into the eyes of his fourth wife, Li Fei. He could tell they craved him, and he felt the same, but he didn't want to make any noise just now. His room was also too small for all four.
"Don't worry, we can go to the Jade Mansion. We'll have our privacy there, and you can even seclude yourself there afterward. We promise not to disturb you if you cultivate with us for at least a day," Li Fei suggested. Karsha thought for a moment before nodding.
===========
Karsha moaned as he climaxed, his release filling Li Fei's cave up, who smiled in satisfaction, gasping for breath. He had spent the past 15 hours playing with his wives, releasing his stress and reaching climax 12 times.
He fell back on the bed, lying there naked as Mei Lin gently tended to him. Since he had advised them not to raise their cultivation bases further, they could only use his yang energy to strengthen their bodies.
"So, Li Fei, how did your mother react when you told her about us?" Karsha asked after resting for two hours. Deciding to spend the night with them and start his seclusion the following day, he took the opportunity to ask a question that had been on his mind.
"She wasn't mad, if that's what you're worried about. In fact, she was happy I'd finally found someone I cared about, so she's supportive," Li Fei answered with a warm smile.
"Good to hear," Karsha nodded.
"I hope you're not thinking about seducing Sister Fei's mother," June teased, her hands running over Karsha's chest.
"I have no such plans," Karsha replied, making June and the others smile. "But who knows? If she showed interest, I wouldn't hesitate," he added, prompting their smiles to turn into playful glares.
"You're such a pervert! Leave Lady Li Jing alone," Yi Ran said, pinching him lightly.
"I'm sorry, I wouldn't dream of it," Karsha replied with a grin. Although Yi Ran's pinch was sharp, his attention drifted to his lower half, where Li Fei was pressing his hand tightly, sending him waves of mixed pleasure and pain.
Seeing Karsha's pained expression, Li Fei smiled and released his grip. "You'd better keep your promise. My mom is off-limits," she said.
"I know. I won't pursue her. But if she shows any interest in me, I won't hold back. So instead of warning me, maybe you should talk to her to make sure she has no feelings for me," Karsha replied. He had already noticed some changes in Lady Li Jing's demeanor when he visited her recently. The looks she gave him hinted at something more, though he didn't want to jump to conclusions. Still, if she wanted to join, he wouldn't mind adding her to his harem.
"If that happened, I'd apologize to Xian beforehand. The more, the merrier," he added with a grin.
"Don't worry. My mom would never fall for you," Li Fei said confidently.
"Wanna bet on that?" Karsha challenged, feeling provoked.
"You're on. What's the wager?" Li Fei asked, a smirk on her face as June and the others looked on with amused smiles.
"I bet I can seduce and win over your mother within a day," Karsha said, not mincing words.
"Fine. And what are the stakes?" Li Fei asked.
"If I succeed, I get to be with her. If I fail, I'll do anything you want me to."
"It's a deal," Li Fei said, already imagining how she'd make Karsha fulfill her demands. Karsha, meanwhile, smiled to himself, picturing how the mother and daughter would view each other after he claimed his victory.
After two more rounds with his wives, Karsha retreated into a room within the mansion and began cultivating, focusing on saturating his core. A week later, a powerful booming sound erupted from his room, sending waves of pure, bloodthirsty energy radiating in all directions.
