Relaxing

Early in the morning, Ren getting up from his bed. Yawning lazily while picking up his clothes, he finds that Qingyue already nowhere to be found. After taking bath quickly, he sees two beautiful figures preparing food in the dining room.

"Good morning, Dear." Hugging Qingyue from behind, he smiles happily while burying his head into her lustrous hair. Enjoying her refreshing and fragrant scent. He seems can't get enough of it.

"Good morning, Husband. Quickly have breakfast before it becomes cold." Replying in kind, she enjoyed his warm embrace. Her soft and gentle voice really never cease to soothe his heart.

After enjoying themselves for a while, they quickly sit down for breakfast. Completely ignoring another figure around them. That person already gets used to their behavior. Not bothered at the slightest. Only doing her job in silence.

"Hmm… Qingyue, this ginger soup's taste is rather unique. It's rather hard to describe." Savoring a soup in front of him, his interest piqued.

"How is it? Tasty right?" Tilting her head, she smiled slightly.

"Really tasty." As long as he can eat it, he won't be bothered by its taste. His vocabulary on food is really limited. Given it's unique but delicious taste, he finishes it quickly.

"Senior Master was the one who cooks today. I'm only helping a little." Finishing her meal elegantly, she prepared to clear the table.

"Yuechan, is that true?" Looking at another figure across him in a doubtful manner.

"Umm." Replying quietly, she helped Qingyue to tidy up the table.

"Your cooking skill really rose steadily in the past months. It really makes me nostalgic. Remembering the first time you tried roasting meat for me, but ended up burning it to crisp. Hahaha-Aww!" Remembering fondly their journey in the Wasteland of Death, he can't help laughing loudly.

*Pakkk

Can't contain her embarrassment, Chu Yuechan smacking his head with a gaze full of resentment.

"Hey!! That isn't the right attitude for a maid!" Trying to retaliate, he sends electricity to numb her body.

"Who is your maid!?" Already expecting his move, she caught his hand and freeze it solid. Even though the expression is calm, her chest rising up and down showing her agitation.

In the past, Ren always ordering her around to his heart content because of their agreement. His task always reasonable enough, so she always complying easily. But, unfortunately for her, it becomes like their habit. Even after their contract already ended, she always following and complying him subconsciously. Which ended by Ren always teasing her because of it.

Watching two of them throwing a barrage of lightning bolt and icicles toward each other, Qingyue can only sigh helplessly. Continuing her chore, she ignored the two of them.

Quickly, after coming back from the kitchen, she can look that Ren and Yuechan already sat across each other chatting casually. After serving tea for the three of them, she sat beside Ren calmly.

"Right, Yuechan. On the upcoming Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, did you already decide who will attend from our sect?" Enjoying the fragrant tea which Qingyue prepared, he asked casually.

He knows that one month ago Heavenly Sword Villa already sent invitations to the top 500 sects in Blue Wind Empire. Each sect allowed to bring three of their disciples as the contestant. This tournament which held every three years is very important to determine the power and prestige in the Blue Wind Empire.

As for why he asked Chu Yuechan? Everyone in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace knows that she would be the next Palace Mistress after this tournament. So selecting the perfect candidates is her task.

"Aside from Junior Disciple Qingyue, which is a foregone conclusion, the others still undecided."

"How? Isn't it was an easy task? Just pick whoever is qualified, each one of our disciples is talented." It isn't that he is careless at all because every one of the sect disciples is really talented just like he said. Especially with Qingyue participating, he knows that she can obtain championship easily.

"In the past, we can just directly choose whoever has the highest level in cultivation. But now because of you, it would be rather difficult."

"Me?" Pointing at himself, Ren asked confusedly.

"Husband, since you volunteered to train some of our sisters, their strength increased greatly." Qingyue clearing his doubt.

"Just like what Qingyue said. Our disciple's strength already rose dramatically. Because of you, the majority of them can easily defeat an opponent with higher-level cultivation, and fighting across the realm isn't impossible either. We're really grateful to you. But, to quickly determining their strength is rather hard."

It's because in the past months, whenever Ren becomes bored he will spar together with the other disciples. Sparring while giving some bits of advice to them, their improvement can be seen with naked eyes. Coupled with how usually their sect attaching to self-cultivation, seeing the chance to improve, many disciples seeking his guidance. Quickly, he becomes really popular.

Accidentally, he founds that with his position in the sect, he can appoint the disciples to complete the quests from his system. Even though the penalty losing points becomes doubled and the reward halved, with the endless amount of quests available for him, he abused it to his heart content. Since then, he regularly issuing tasks in the sect while rewarding with points that can be exchanged to him with either weapon, armor, or pills. Even the beautiful dress and accessories are available.

"Ahh… Just set an internal tournament then, it can be solved easily."

"Unfortunately, we don't have enough time nor manpower right now. And the Blue Wind Tournament will be held two weeks later." Chu Yuechan sighing helplessly. Because every high-level member focusing their power on revising their main profound arts and sectoral rules. So, in the past five months, the sect's management handled by the mid-level members.

"Don't worry, you can really pick casually whoever that have attended my training. I guarantee that they can bring good results. As for the Champion? With my wife participating directly, the others can only dream about it." Caressing Qingyue's hair affectionately, his voice full of confidence.

"Umm… Let's decide it like that then." Agreeing with him, Chu Yuechan drinking her tea elegantly.

"Oh right. How about the Frozen Cloud Arts progress?" Remembering something, Ren asked them curiously. It's because he didn't participate in it directly, so he doesn't know clearly.

"Oh right. Thanks to Junior Disciple Qingyue. We already completed it two days ago." Chu Yuechan said with a beautiful smile blossomed on her delicate face. Her joyful mood can be seen clearly, which is really rare.

"If not because she is started comprehending Frozen End Divine Arts four months ago, I don't know how much longer we complete it." She looked at Qingyue happily.

Even though all the high members of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace already mastered their main profound arts, it isn't enough to revise it. Until Qingyue started comprehending their sect's secret art, Frozen End Divine Arts, it can become possible. It was because Frozen Cloud Arts derivated directly from Frozen End Divine Arts which manifolds a higher level.

"Actually, if it isn't because Husband supporting me from behind, it would be impossible even for me," Qingyue said calmly while looking at Ren tenderly. Trying to convey all her feeling with her gaze only.

Looking at that, Ren can only smile happily. Because all of that was true. In the past, before he is parting with her, he already teaches her some techniques, while giving many others which compatible with her. And among them, Haki, Breath of Water and Nature Transformation techniques is what he prepared for laying up her foundation.

Even after reuniting with her one year later, he didn't spare any thought to helping her cultivation. Spending hundreds of millions of points without blinking an eye, he bought artifacts and techniques for her. As for why? He will confidently say that because it's worth it. Even losing billions of points for her isn't worth mentioning for him.

"I don't help that much, all of that is because of your effort, My Dear." Even if he gives her EX ranked treasure or technique, all of that will become worthless if she can't utilize or learn it at all.

"Husband, Thank you." Enjoying his praise happily, Qingyue accepted it easily. Even if there is no help from him, Qingyue can still be soaring highly. But because of him, her achievement will be reaching a new hight. And the two of them know all of that.

"Our profound arts might become doubled, while all of the flaws already corrected. Now we don't need to absorb cold air and storing it at our body, we can directly transform our profound energy directly to it at will. Avoiding accumulating hidden injuries and shortening our lifespan. While still gaining adaptability and resistance toward it. More importantly, we don't need to fear our profound arts stolen using intercourse ever again." Chu Yuechan continued herself. Her usually calm expression can't contain her excitement.

Looking at her joyful mood, Ren and Qingyue smiled in understanding. This is really a huge achievement. Thousand of years' concern finally solved by them.

"Husband, what is your plan later?" Qingyue asked him suddenly.

"Me? Increasing my cultivation which is lagging behind, and maybe traveling around gathering experiences." Ren answered directly.

"Where do you want to go? Can I go together?" Concern filled her eyes. Remembering that one year of loneliness in the past, she doesn't want to taste it again.

"Sure. Why not? As for where I still don't have any plan either. We should definitely visit Father-in-law and Yuanba later. Maybe walking aimlessly? Seeing the wonder of nature and different scenery is what I like."

"Umm… let's have some vacation later." Smiling satisfied, she poured tea to their empty glass.

"And you? After mastering Frozen Divine Arts, what do you want to do?" Poking at her cheek, he asked Qingyue happily.

"I want to learn about the Formation Arts. I think that is interesting. What do you think, Husband?"

"Learning a new thing is a good thing. With your intelligence, I'm sure you can master it quickly." Ren supported her directly.

"Umm… I want to learn a lot." Determination can be seen in her eyes.

"And you? Yuechan, as the next Palace Master, what do you want to make?" Suddenly, he asked Chu Yuechan who is sipping her tea calmly.

"Me? I don't have any desire. Maybe strengthening myself and the sect." Her eyes losing focus slightly. Because ever since a child, what she knows all is about cultivation and her sect. Forgetting that she maybe has her own desire.

"Sure. Why don't we set a small target? Let's see, how about making Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace the next Sacred Ground?" A mischievous grin etched on his face.

The Four Sacred Grounds are sects that are the overlords of the Profound Sky Continent. Each one of them is mighty influences where Sovereign Profound Realms practioner as many as the clouds. Each one of them completely stronger than the strongest nation, the Divine Phoenix Empire. Blue Wind Empire is merely an ant in their eyes. They're so focused on cultivating the Profound Way and sought to not interfere with each other or any of the continent's internal disputes.

"Sure. Let's aim at the strongest." Smiling slightly, Chu Yuechan answering at him jokingly. Playing with his game.

"Then how is your plan becoming my maid?" His grin infuriating her directly. What answered him is a barrage of icicles, which he can block relaxedly.

That day is a rare occasion where the three of them only relaxingly spending their time chatting together.
