(MC POV)
I opened my eyes to see a pair of blue eyes partially covered by strands of white hair staring back at . It took a mont to realise I was lying down on the ground with my head supported by her lap.
??
I blinked, "You're still here?"
She smiled. It was the first genuine, full-faced smile I saw coming from her, "Why wouldn't I be? After a display like that, I would be a fool to just leave here."
I groaned, feeling a headache assaulting my cranium.
Using the new skill of connecting myself to those 'stars' within my Cultivation Point, I managed to power up enough to banish that monstrosity back to whence it ca with just a finger.
Unfortunately, this body is not yet strong enough to maintain that power for long, as evidenced by blacking out right after I released the power up.
At least it wasn't as bad as vomiting out half the blood in my body like last ti, shows that I've at least improved, right?
I guess the fox must have seen collapse after banishing that tentacled freak back to the abyss, deciding to take care of while I was unconscious.
Hopefully she didn't do anything funny.
"How long was I out?" I asked, trying to sit up.
"About an hour," She replied without hesitation, pulling to lie back down on her lap. "And you shouldn't move too much yet. You must have expanded a lot of energy right? Just rest now."
I raised an eyebrow at her, "Since when have you been so caring?"
"Is it a problem for to care for soone who is hurt?"
"Well, I'm not hurt and you're starting to creep out."
She placed a hand on my head, her smile coming back to her face as she gently stroked my head, "It's alright. You've done well, just rest for now."
I sat up forcefully, pulling myself out of her grasp, "Ok… No. You don't get to act like that after being so cold and distant to for the past few days. Also, I have other things I need to take care of, so if you'll excuse ."
She did not stop from moving this ti, opting to just stay where she was and show that disconcerting smile of hers.
Spreading my arms outwards, I activated the scrying inscriptions I had left at the monster's village.
A small portal ripped open in front of , showing a bird's eye view of the monster's village.
Or at least, what I rembered to be the monster's village.
The entire area was scorched black with nothing left to suggest forr residents there, not even the foundations of the buildings were spared.
I know I've taught them to be thorough but… This is beyond my expectations.
I guess I should give them all so headpats when I get back… After I deal with the problem over here that is…
Ah well, nothing I can't handle. Just going to set off all the other preparations I put in place just in case.
Luckily I can be assured that all the Dark Sect Practitioners are done for thanks to that ddleso tentacled thingy. If anyone survived that blast, I think he deserves to live.
Just kidding, I'll do another swoop around the forest to make sure they're all gone, I did say I like being thorough.
Now, just gonna snap my fingers and we can just call it a day.
Alright, now to deal with this new girl who is still staring at with that intense gaze of hers.
"Ok, I'll ask," I started. "What's the deal? You want sothing, right?"
Her smile ca back, "I know you don't want to waste your ti so…"
She moved herself to face before placing both her hands on the ground in front of her, bowing her head low to just a few centiters away from her hands.
"Please accept this unworthy one as your honoured one's disciple."
I crossed my arms, "Let guess… Judging by the contents of our conversation last ti where you talked about weakness… You're seeking power are you not?"
Her head bowed even lower, "Yes. What I seek is to follow the epito of strength! Please allow to follow behind your greatness!"
"And when you find soone stronger than , what then? Abandon for them?"
She lifted up her head, her smile still plastered on her face, "I will not lie to you. At this point, there is only one other person whom I might leave you for and that is my sister's mate."
I raised an eyebrow, "Your sister's mate? You an you'll share a mate with her?"
She nodded slightly, "My sister and I have always shared everything… It was for that reason that I sought to leave her village in an attempt to be independent for once… If I were to deem my sister's mate unworthy of the respect that I have for you, there shall be none other I will follow other than you."
Well, I'm not worried about her abandoning to follow soone stronger, it's a dog eat dog world in the other Planes after all. If I were to get my ass handed to by so other guy, it'll make sense for her to cling to the safest ans of survival.
That's what I did to survive back then after all, so I'm not going to be a hypocrite and fault her for it.
Since I have no intentions of going to those Planes for now, I shouldn't co across so really strong Practitioners that could rival the current .
Ah… There's those busybodies who go around spiriting people away huh… Not sure if they will co back for Elaria?
Well, I already left a tracking inscription on her so there shouldn't be any problems even if they do try to take her away.
Anyway, that's a problem for another day. I suppose I don't mind having another disciple around, she might even beco good friends with Manami seeing how they're both nine tailed foxes.
I shall not affirm nor deny the fact that the thought of having a fluffy bed of eighteen fox tails was especially tempting to .
Co on!
Don't say you won't be tempted too! They're so fluffy!
I'm going to fluff Manami's tails while she makes tea when I get back later.
Ah, for now I guess I'll let my other disciples take a look at her. The girls would probably have a better scope of this girl's ntality since they're of the sa gender anyway.
Not that I'm being sexist but… Sotis the girls just really confound …
All I got to do now is hope the mate of this fox's sister isn't so OP dude that can one shot interdinsional horrors.
I an, what are the odds of that being true, right?
